Railway Crossings
Nováková, Anna-Marie ; Hoza, Miroslav (referee) ; Svoboda, Richard (advisor)
This bachelor thesis is focused on the railway crossings problem from the point of meaning of all available legislation. In this work I tried to find out whether all available legislative resources for railway crossings design are identical in their interpretation, as ambiguity of these resources could confuse drivers of vehicles and lead to the big number of traffic accidents. To solve this problem I analyzed all available legislative resources. I determined the most important chapters which context might be interpreted in a different way. Furthermore, I investigated which specific legislative resources deal with the problem and then compared it individually. By completion of this work I figured out that the most important chapters of existing legislative resources don’t contain ambiguity in railway crossing design.

Implementation Barriers and Facilitators in Suicide Prevention Interventions: Implementation Analysis Optics
Kasal, Alexandr ; Nekola, Martin (advisor) ; Dragomirecká, Eva (referee) ; Čermáková, Pavla (referee)
Introduction: This dissertation addresses the issue of implementation barriers and facilitators of suicide prevention measures in the context of the field of public and social policy. Implementation barriers and facilitators can be identified across the whole implementation process. This paper seeks to identify them in published scientific studies and contextualize them for the Czech environment through expert group interview. The thesis uses two theoretical frameworks, the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) and the Conceptual Framework for Implementation Analysis (CFIA). The thesis simultaneously questions the suitability of these frameworks to achieve the aforementioned objectives and the possibility of synthesising these frameworks. Methods: Systematic literature review and group expert interview were conducted. The thesis applies the frameworks mentioned above to structure the results, with the CFIA serving as a supporting framework to categorize the results of the group expert interview that could not be assigned to the CFIR framework. Results: 63 relevant studies containing 239 implementation barriers and 405 implementation facilitators were identified through a systematic review. These were unevenly distributed across CFIR domains and constructs. In total, thirteen...

Risks related to open water diving and their prevention
OBORNÁ, Veronika
This bachelor's thesis focuses on the risks associated with open water diving and their prevention. Three objectives were determined to elaborate this thesis. The first objective was to find out what kind of knowledge professional and recreational divers have about the risks related to open water diving. The second objective was to examine what knowledge divers have about preventive measures related to open water diving. Last but not least, the third objective was to determine what barriers regarding the open water diving are perceived by divers. The bachelor's thesis consists of a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part is divided into chapters and subchapters describing the history of diving, fundamental diving equipment, basics of physics for divers and physiology related to diving. The heoretical part also describes the most common injuries and diseases occurring during diving, proper first aid as a reaction to them as well as their treatment. Finally, a part of the theory is devoted to the prevention of undesirable situations during open water diving. In the practical part of this thesis a qualitative research was applied. Data collection was conducted through semi-structured interviews. The research sample consisted of ten divers of different ages and different lengths of experience. Five informants were professional divers and five informants were recreational divers. The data obtained from the interviews were processed into four categories, which were further subdivided into subcategories. Using the qualitative research, it was found out that both professional and recreational divers have the necessary knowledge regarding the risks associated with open water diving. Despite essential knowledge and efforts to follow preventive measures, all but one informant experienced a crisis situation during a practice dive, which always turned out well due to proper theoretical preparation for these risk situations. All informants are aware that the biggest risk is the diver himself and overestimation of his own abilities. Regarding the knowledge of preventive measures related to the open water diving, there were differences between the knowledge of professional and recreational divers. All informants had the necessary awareness of the discussed topic, however it was clear that professional divers were more familiar with this issue. All informants were knowledgeable about the necessity of diving training, proper diving equipment, preventive measures and first aid procedures including cardiopulmonary resuscitation in case of an emergency situation. Moreover, it has been found out that divers perceive certain obstacles when diving in open water. In addition to poor health or psychological conditions being a barrier to diving, informants also determined low quality natural conditions as a barrier too. Deteriorated natural conditions were seen as a barrier mostly by recreational divers, whereas professional divers dive all year round and in all kinds of conditions. From the results of the research, it was ascertained that divers have sufficient knowledge of the risks associated with open water diving. Furthermore, informants have sufficient knowledge of preventive measures, which enables them to correctly assess certain situations. The fact that the informants consider the deteriorated natural conditions as a barrier to open water diving indicates that they are concerned about the prevention of risks associated with open water diving. This thesis highlights the importance of knowledge of the risks associated with open water diving and their prevention. The results of this bachelor's thesis can be used to supplement the knowledge of some divers, as a teaching material for novice divers or for health professionals who want to be aware of diving-related diseases and acute conditions related to diving itself.

Dying in Medical Institution from the Point of View of Nursing Staff
VÁCHOVÁ, Agáta
The bachelor's thesis deals with dying in medical institution from the point of view of nursing staff. The thesis is divided into theoretical and research parts. The theoretical part of the thesis contains basic information and concepts related to dying and death, the impact of dying on nursing staff and the specifics of nursing care for dying patients. The main aim was to find out what support the nursing staff receives from the management and how the nursing staff provide for the needs of the dying patient. In order to achieve these objectives, five research questions were identified. The empirical part of the thesis was done through a qualitative research investigation in the form of a semi-structured interview, which included twenty-one questions. The research population consisted of nurse practitioners and general nurses in the selected hospital wards. The collected information was then processed in the form of open coding and then categorized into seven categories. From the results, it is clear that psychological support from the management is mainly provided to the nursing staff by the station or head nurse. In case of psychological need, the nursing staff refer more to family and friends. A large number of informants were identified with burnout syndrome, which can result from a lack of psychological support from the management, that could be provided for example in the form of seminars or through visiting a psychologist. The second objective revealed that the pain control, hygienic care adapted to the patient's health condition and the provision of food according to the patient's wishes are essential to ensure biological needs. The support from the staff is important to meet psychological needs, which is often neglected due to the lack of time and staff. The social needs are mainly provided by the family of the dying patient through visits or by a hospital chaplain. The most common obstacle is the arrangement of patient rooms, which is not suitable for ensuring the privacy of the dying patient and his/her family. The results of the thesis research were used to form the basis of a workshop for nurses.
