The job of a nurse in hospice care.
HERZOGOVÁ, Veronika
This bachelor thesis deals with hospice care and focuses on the work of a nurse in the field of hospice care. Hospice care is a comprehensive form of health, psychological and social care that is provided to all patients who suffer from an incurable disease or are in the terminal stage of the disease. Hospice care is closely related to palliative care, which focuses primarily on improving patients' lives and relieving pain. The aim of the bachelor thesis was to map the work of a nurse in the field of hospice care. The empirical part of the bachelor thesis was processed using a qualitative research survey. A semi-structured interview was chosen for the data collection technique. Interviews were conducted with nurses working in hospice facilities throughout the Czech Republic. The interviews revealed that working in a hospice facility is mentally and physically demanding for the nurses, because the hospices lack enough staff to provide quality care and staff. It turned out that doctors often delegate their work to nurses. The most frequently delegated work is the handling of the patient's estate, which is not within the competence of the nurse. Most nurses working in hospice facilities devote all their efforts to work and forget about their personal lives. Most nurses would not recommend working in a hospice facility to other nurses due to financial dissatisfaction and the complexity of this work. The achieved results of the qualitative research survey can serve as a study basis for students of the Faculty of Health and Social Sciences of the University of South Bohemia and can also help nurses who decide to choose a profession in a hospice facility.

These interviews mainly concerned the children's reaction to the death of a pet, the parents' attitude to death and the way children interpret the death of their pet. It turned out that it is very difficult for the parents to explain the topic of death to the children. Parents shouldn't be afraid to talk to children, answer their questions and, above all, show them by example how to cope with difficult life situations.

Mourning and visual tropes in photojournalism
Jarolímková, Zuzana ; Průchová Hrůzová, Andrea (advisor) ; Silverio, Robert (referee)
About the repetition in art first has written in the 19th century the art historian Aby Warburg who described them as the formula of pathos. He pointed out that these gestures were connected by human emotion which repeats itself independently of the culture. His work inspired Marienne Hirsch who came up with the term memory figures which are used in the visual culture as a representation of a certain historic event. They are part of creating the "postmemory", especially in connection with the second world war. Nowadays, our space is more saturated with photos than with paintings. However, we still can see the influence of art from history and some photographers try to reproduce famous scenes. With inspiration from previous studies, Marta Zarzycka a Martijn Kleppe focused on this "trend" visual tropes which are used not only for better understatement of photos but also for stronger influence on readers. The thesis Mourning and visual tropes in photojournalism aim to show this trend in current media outlets on the tropes of mourning which are connected with the pandemic of coronavirus and war in Nagorno-Karabakh in 2020.
