Podolská, Kateřina ; Rychtaříková, Jitka (advisor) ; Šídlo, Luděk (referee) ; Laštovička, Jan (referee)
The wider context of the impact of solar activity on mortality by cause in the Czech Republic Abstract The presented dissertation investigates the influence of extraterestrial phenomena, in the whole scope of their possible effects, on human population. It analyses the influence of climate-change induced fluctuation of solar activity on the population, as well as the impact of the concentration of cosmogenic radionuclides on human health. In the introduction, the manifestation of solar activity on Earth is described, the results of the present research is summarized, and the used methods of data processing and the data sources are described. The primary focus of this work is the association of mortality from the causes of death recorded under chapter IV. Diseases of the nervous system and chapter IX. Diseases of the circulatory system of the International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision (ICD-10) in the Czech Republic with the changes in the level of solar activity and its exceptional fluctuations. The main aim is to determine the possible link between the daily numbers of dead by the respective causes of death, by sex and age groups in the Czech Republic, on global as well as on geographically specific daily values of solar, ionospheric, and geomagnetic parameters in the years 1994-2013. These are...

Mortality analysis of diseases caused by smoking in selected countries of the Western Europe
Vachová, Aneta ; Hulíková Tesárková, Klára (advisor) ; Kurtinová, Olga (referee)
Mortality analysis of diseases caused by smoking in selected countries of the Western Europe Abstract The main objective of the thesis is to compare smoking-related mortality trends, using analytical methods, in selected countries of Western Europe (Austria, Denmark, France, Germany, Luxembourg and the Netherlands) during 1999-2009. The development of mortality has been demonstrated by fundamental mortality indicators. Furthermore, there has been an analysis carried out in order to demonstrate a difference in temporary life expectancy at age 35-85 under the condition that smoking related causes of death were eliminated. Results of the main part of the work show that in period 1999-2009 smoking-attributable mortality declined and that if people did not die because of those diseases, temporary life expectancy at age 35-85 would increase in average by 2 and 3.6 years for women and men respectively. Temporary life expectancy was increasing during the whole study and for both sexes. Keywords: mortality, smoking, cause of death, Western Europe, sex

Comparative analysis of mortality in the countries of the Visegrad Four during 1980-2008
Pražák, Michal ; Burcin, Boris (advisor) ; Hulíková Tesárková, Klára (referee)
The main objective of the Bachelor Thesis is to compare the development of mortality in the countries of the Visegrad Four within the period from 1980 to 2008 using analytical methods. The development of the level of mortality is described by the basic indicators of mortality with focusing on the capture and explanation of the main similarities and differences in this development. The results of the main part of Thesis show that the most significant and positive changes in the mortality of population are seen in Czechia, Slovakia and Poland in the 90`s of the 20th century, whereas the level of mortality of Hungarian population declined later, namely after the year 2000. The worst mortality situation within the whole monitored period was found in Hungary. By contrast, the most significant improvement of the level of mortality within the period from 1980 to 2008 was recorded in Czechia, where there was also a rapid decline in mortality from diseases of the circulatory system.

Analysis of Mortality Development in Russia using various decompositon methods
Kocová, Markéta ; Hulíková Tesárková, Klára (advisor) ; Burcin, Boris (referee)
Analysis of mortality development in Russia using various decomposition methods Abstract The aim of this thesis is to analyze and evaluate mortality development in Russia in last 50 years by using various decomposition methods. The first part presents the method of decomposition of the difference between two demographic indicators (E. Kitagawa's method or methods from E. Arriaga, R. Pressat and J. Pollard). In the second part mortality development in Russia is analyzed by using methods that decomposed the value of demographic indicators in a given year. Mortality is divided into senescent and background component by using the Gompertz-Makeham formula and by using the logistic model. Afterwards, avoidable and unavoidable mortality and mortality due to endogenous and exogenous causes of death is analyzed. Hypotheses, set out in the introductory chapter, are verified by using different decomposition methods. Using multiple methods of decomposition enable to obtain a more complex view of the evolution of mortality in the observed period so that could be viewed from multiple perspectives and identify specific population trends in Russia. Keywords: mortality, Russia, decomposition, senescent and background mortality, avoidable mortality, endogenous, exogenous, causes of death, mortality crisis

Development of the intensity of alcohol-related mortality in regions of the Czech Republic in 1994-2009
Komrsková, Lucie ; Burcin, Boris (advisor) ; Hulíková Tesárková, Klára (referee)
The Development of the intensity of alcohol-related mortality in regions of the Czech Republic in 1994-2009 Abstract The main aim of the thesis is to analyze the development of the intensity of alcohol-related mortality in regions of the Czech Republic in 1994-2009. Three categories of causes of death related to alcohol are selected according to the classification chosen. The author analyses the intensity of mortality from all causes alcohol-related mortality, from cause of death of alcoholic liver disease and from external causes of death related to alcohol. She concludes that the level of mortality from all causes alcohol-related mortality and external causes of death related to alcohol improves whereas the level of mortality from cause of death of alcohol liver disease worsens. From the results of the analysis it follows that the areas with the highest intensity of mortality related to alcohol are eastern Moravia and north-western Bohemia. Key words: mortality, diseases alcohol-related, causes of death, standardized mortality rates, the Czech Republic, regions

Comparative analysis of cardiovascular mortality in Czechia and Sweden during 1970-2007
Nerušilová, Hana ; Burcin, Boris (advisor) ; Kučera, Tomáš (referee)
Comparative analysis of cardiovascular mortality in Czechia and Sweden during 1970-2007 Abstract The main aim of this thesis is to describe and compare the development of the level of cardiovascular mortality in Czechia and Sweden during 1970-2007, which is contextualized into the changes of the overall mortality. Within the whole group of circulatory diseases the changes of mortality levels in different groups of circulatory diseases or by certain diagnoses are analysed. The analysis is accompanied with the comparison of cardiovascular mortality levels within the whole Europe. Afterwards the thesis focuses on cardiovascular risk factors and the quality of healthcare in both countries. The analysis concludes that the decline of cardiovascular mortality begun in Czechia ten years later than in Sweden but still sooner than in majority of post-communist countries. The decline was in both countries more evident for acute forms of cardiovascular diseases. The decrease in mortality was mainly attributable to progress in healthcare in Czechia whereas in Sweden it was caused particularly by the positive development of risk factors.
