Health related quality of life (HRQoL) in drug addicts and their dependets in relation to the age.
LIŠKOVÁ, Kateřina
In my thesis I address the quality of life of drug addicts in dependence on the duration of their drug use and their age. Drug addicts have a number of social problems and are also exposed to health risks. The objective of my thesis was to determine the quality-of-life score of those persons, and to ascertain whether their quality of life differs in comparison with the general population and also in comparison between the individual groups into which the drug addicts were divided according to the period of the drug use. In order to achieve these objectives, I raised hypotheses H1: Drug addicts have lower quality of life than the general population, H2: The quality of life of drug addicts deteriorates in relation with the length of the addiction, and H3: The quality of life of drug addicts is lower with increased person age. The method used in my work was SF- 36 questionnaire. From the results of my work it follows that, in statistic terms, drug addicts have considerably lower quality of life than the control group in all 8 examined fields (domains). Actually, in three domains the average score achieved by the drug addicts did not reach even a half of the score achieved by the control group. Hypothesis H1 was confirmed. Comparison of individual groups of drug addicts, namely the persons addicted for 11-15 years and the group of users (0-5 years), revealed an interesting value of emotional restriction of roles. From this comparison it follows that the persons who have been drug addicts for rather a long time have not been able to hold their social roles in the society in emotional terms any more, which confirms also hypothesis H2. In the end was hypothesis H3 confirmed. It is also obvious from the results of my work that, while working with drug addicts, the attention needs to be given to their motivation to undertake treatment so that their quality of life ceases to deteriorate and, on the contrary, improves again in their life without drugs.

Comparison of economic and environmental aspects of waste management in selected municipalities of different sizes
HAVLOVÁ, Marie
The industrial development of our society pushes waste management into becoming an important part of both the economy as well as the environmental protection. It is essential to reduce the amount of waste which is being deposited in landfills without any further use. In the next 10 years it is necessary to completely eliminate waste disposal of the reusable waste and especially of the mixed municipal waste. This thesis focuses on the waste management of various types of municipalities. It aims to provide optimization of waste management, in the connection with economical and technical possibilities of various types of municipalities. This thesis is divided into two parts. The theoretical part describes the issue of waste management in the course of history. It shows the various methods of waste disposal and describes the economic and environmental aspects and impacts in general. It briefly summarizes the development of waste management legislation. The second part of this thesis is focused on the analysis of waste management in selected municipalities. Twelve towns in three groups of different sizes were chosen. A survey of waste disposal and the influence of the size of the town and its technical options on the waste management was conducted. The results showed that municipalities have substantial reserves in reducing the amount of waste going to landfill and also in the practical use of waste sorting. In the conclusion of this thesis suggestions to optimization of waste disposal are being presented.

Comparison of knowledge of the general and professional public about the IRS
VINCÍK, Miroslav
To meet the objectives set by the thesis it was needed to carry out structural analysis of the Integrated Rescue System. Based on this analysis, statistical survey using descriptive methods and mathematical statistics was conducted. Statistical survey is based on the results of the questionnaire survey carried out in two groups of respondents from both the general and professional public. The respondents were chosen as a representative sample of citizens of the district Strakonice, which was specified in a separate chapter. The presence of the normal distribution of knowledge in the general public was then verified, on the contrary, in the professional public the presence of Poisson distribution was surveyed. The difference in the level of knowledge between the two groups of respondents was determined. To achieve the set objectives of the research three hypotheses were established: H1. The empirical distribution of knowledge of the general public can be replaced by the normal distribution at the level of mathematical statistics. H2. The empirical distribution of knowledge of the professional public is more remote to the normal distribution due to a higher level of knowledge. H3. There is a statistically significant difference between the knowledge of both groups of respondents. All 3 hypotheses were verified and accepted, with a positive result confirming the established hypotheses. In the "Discussion", analysis of the obtained results and confirmation of the established hypotheses H1, H2 and H3, together with proposed measures that could increase knowledge of the IRS in both groups of respondents, is presented.

LUKEŠOVÁ, Petra
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to create an eating disorder prevention program. The thesis particularly focuses on the eating disorder problems during adolescence and early adulthood along with the explanation and specification of basic terms, history and cause of the disorder. A strong emphasis is placed on the possibilities of the prevention. A qualitative research was carried out within the scope of this thesis and it brought useful data about the students and their knowledge of the eating disorder problems. Three secondary schools in Southern Bohemia participated in the research. The full return rate of the questionnaires and their evaluation helped to draw up the eating disorder prevention program.

System STYX in Schools: a Pilot Study
VESELÁ, Lucie
The aim of my bachelor's thesis is the description of a system called STYX. I would like to characterize the pilot release of this system to the school praxis and the processing of the information of the feedback from the given pilot study which is addressed to the authors of the STYX. The STYX is a system designed to provide an electronic corpus-based exercise book of Czech morphology and syntax with exercises directly selected from the Prague Dependency Treebank, the largest annotated corpus of Czech texts. The system was created in ÚFALu MFF UK under leadership of dr. Barbora Vidová Hladká, viz http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/styx/. The bachelor's thesis is designed as a study with two main moments: the first one is the release of the STYX into two hours of teaching at secondary school in Trhové Sviny and the analysis of the results of my work with this system at school. The second moment represents the processing of the feedback from this release of the system STYX to praxis for the team of researchers from ÚFALu MFF UK.

Environmental and economical evaluation of clean vehicles promotion: Final report
Špička, Libor ; Dostál, Ivo ; Dufek, Jiří ; Jedlička, Jiří ; Ličbinský, Roman
This project was focused on environmental and economic assessment of tools for indirect promoting of clean vehicles. During the solution was proposed a set of possible support tools. The locality for application of tools was identified on the basis of air quality analysis. For the chosen city was created and calibrated the traffic model which was extended by two scenarios. These scenarios include a set of proposed tools for promoting of clean vehicles. The chosen scenarios were assessed environmentally and compared with the basic present state. On the basis of the environmental assessment was prepared the dispersion studies which were used as a basis for the assessment of impacts on human health. Other outputs of environmental assessment were used for the economic evaluation of proposed tools for promoting of clean vehicles.
