Therapeutic hypotermia after cardiac arrest
JIRCOVÁ, Danuše
The bachelor thesis deals with the influence of a mild therapeutic hypothermia as a hospital post-resuscitation care of patients after cardiopulmonary resuscitation for non-traumatic cardiac arrest. Therapeutic hypothermia is a relatively new method. It is part of the European Guidelines for resuscitation since 2005. It was reported its positive effects on the neurological status of the patients. Using the method reduces the damage to the brain and cardiac muscle. The theoretical part of the thesis deals with the effect of mild hypothermia on the human body. Specifies the indication and contraindication criteria for initiation of therapeutic hypothermia, describes cooling methods of the patient and ways to terminate the therapeutic hypothermia. Describes the monitoring of physiological functions and nursing care of patients. The practical part of bachelor thesis mapped the procedures used in the administration of therapeutic hypothermia in patients treated in two large hospitals. These were Fakultní nemocnice Kralovske Vinohrady in Prague and Nemocnice Ceske Budejovice, a.s. The applied strategy of the research was qualitative. Content analysis of 10 case reports were carried out, 5 case reports from each hospital. Case reports concerning patients after cardiopulmonary resuscitation, who were treated using the therapeutic hypothermia as a part of hospital care. The aim of this thesis was to map the procedures used in the therapeutic hypothermia administration in patients after cardiopulmonary resuscitation. It was made available by hospitals after approval by ethics committees on the basis of applications submitted. The information was subsequently created into case studies that were analysed in the categorization tables. In the discussion, the results were compared with the published knowledge provided in the theoretical part of the thesis, and were commented. Analysed were: the composition of the group of patients by age and gender, provide the basic life support by witnesses prior to arrival of crew of the emergency medical service on scene, initial ECG rhythm after emergency medical service arrival, the time elapsed since the cardiac arrest appeared to restore of spontaneous circulation, initiation of therapeutic hypothermia in pre-hospital care, time elapsed since the therapeutic hypothermia start up to reaching the target body temperature, duration of the therapeutic hypothermia, the methods used for cooling the patients, the methods used for measuring the body temperature and neurological status at the time of discharge or transfer from the hospital. The results of the research surprisingly showed that general public are well-informed. Witnesses were able to recognize cardiac arrest, early called in professional help and were willing to give heart massage. This shows also the success in implementing the method of medical dispatcher-assisted basic life support in practice, because the witnesses were in many cases instructed by the medical dispatchers to resuscitate the patient. The majority of patient's initial ECG rhythm were diagnosed as ventricular fibrillation. Time to restoration of spontaneous circulation in most cases ranged within 29 minutes. To achieve the target body temperature at the recommended time limit has managed to half of patients. Target body temperature was always kept within the recommended timeframe and core body temperature was monitored. Concerns raised by an absence of the method start up in pre-hospital emergency care. The thesis highlighted the seriousness of sudden cardiac arrest and the high incidence of patients dismissed from the department with severe neurological deficit. Therefore, it is necessary to continue in research of this method, improve it and try to incorporate it already to pre-hospital care.

Development of electronisation of local administration of Zábřežsko micro region in relation with e-government
Filipová, Lucie ; Ulman, Miloš (advisor) ; Martin, Martin (referee)
Thesis "Development of an electronisation of local administration of Zábřežsko micro region in relation with eGovernment"examines the issues of the development of electronisation of autonomy in relation to legislation and eGovernment. The topic of the public administration has been increasingly discussed in recent years not only in the context of increasing demands for processing speed and information, but also to facilitate transparency and sub-processes in public administration. Theoretical part describes the role of eGovernment in the public administration, the process of electronisation of public administration and individual services of eGovernment (Czech POINT, data boxes, basic registers, communication infrastructure of public administration), which are being in place with municipalities. The practical part evaluates the situation of software and hardware equipment, legislatively bound on a contract software and service of eGovernment on a sample of villages Zábřežsko. On the basis of the results of the questionnaire researches are determinated recommendations for sample of 20 micro region Zábřežsko.

Evaluation of the European Cohesion Policy in Selected Region
Podzimková, Ivana ; Tomšík, Karel (advisor) ; Pavel, Pavel (referee)
The diploma's thesis is aiming to evaluate European policy of social cohesion and its growth options in the selected region. The evaluation is connected to the Elbe cycle route and it is based on analyses. The theoretical part of the thesis introduces the subject of European policy of social cohesion while defining its legislation and framework of the legislation. It also defines the embodiment of regional politics within legislation of the local government i.e. the Czech Republic. Analyses of the development of the selected project i.e. the Elbe cycle route and its impact on Hradec Kralove district will be dealt with in the practical part of the thesis. Business results of entities participating on the Elbe cycle route project will be gathered and used in order to evaluate selected indicators. Final assessment will be based on benchmarking. Method of comparison, analyses and syntheses will be used to evaluate gathered data. Applicable data will be gathered by research of related literature. Information will be also provided by the executive entities connected to the project, regional websites focussed on cycle tourism and by the town of Smiřice. Data gathered by the entities that cooperate on supervision of the Elbe cycle route project will be used for the statistic assessment.

Non-invasive methods for sex and steroid homones determination in gibbons of the genus Nomascus
Bolechová, Petra ; Bartoš, Luděk (advisor) ; Pavel, Pavel (referee)
The gibbon primates of the family Nomascus are classified as critically endangered species, and, to date, basic understanding and information about their biology is missing. With regard to the status of these animals in the wild and captive populations in zoos, being familiar with their reproduction, may improve captive breeding programs. Data collection in this study was to be carried out by the practical use of non-invasive methods (polymerase chain reaction for DNA extraction and enzyme immunoassays), using faecal samples for analysis. The first method, polymerase chain reaction, was used for sex determination in juveniles, because of their coat colour and visual similarity of secondary sex characteristic in both sexes; it is not possible to determinate sex without handling the animal. Another main purpose of this study is to try and answer the hypothesis regarding the ovarian cycle of females, factors influencing their hormone concentration and also the onset of sexual maturity in females and the timing of their fur colour change. Hypotheses were checked by monitoring the concentration of progesterone and oestrogen faecal metabolites and by evaluation of the composition of breeding groups of gibbons with the ZOO influence. During a four year period (from 2010 till 2014), there were a total of 51 animals analysed from 16 different zoos with a faecal sample count totalling 1618 samples. The results confirmed the use of noninvasive methods for sex determination, and thus ensuring the maximum welfare standards. Endocrinological analysis confirmed the hypothesis of the influence of the environment (ZOO) to the hormone concentrations and female´s pregnancy effect in conjunction with her age on the final results of the male - father hormone concentrations. The initial information in this study is the confirmation of the onset of ovarian cycle in young females without connection to their fur colour change and a significant factor of a mother´s impact and her territoriality. This study is the first to present a long term monitoring of ovarian cycles in females and hormone concentrations of other individuals, both male and female, and from various age groups. The results allow us to understand the possible impact of zoo environments on the reproductive status of these gibbons and contribute to the general improvement of breeding management.

The bachelor's thesis entitled "Design and implementation of e-learning in the area of interest" deals with buying used cars. The essential part of this work is a creation of e-learning course for buyers and other people interested in this area which aims to improve their knowledge. The participants will get an overview of the most common situations and problems they can meet when buying a used car. The theoretical part presents an overview of the topics of the issue of purchase of used cars. It may serve as a theoretical guidance to the e-course, it brings its content. The topics are based on the analysis of information from printed and electronic sources, supplemented by experiences of the author and experts in the field. The practical part deals with the creation of an e-learning course. It contains an analysis of the needs of buyers, the reasons for the creation of the course and the requirements of it, its objectives, a description of the used authoring tool eXe and graphic creation process from the creation of the course after its publication in steps. All this is complemented by the feedback from six volunteers who have expressed an interest in testing the course and then doing a review. Before the creation of the course it was necessary to analyze the situation and find out why such a course is needed. The acquired knowledge was then processed in the course by the synthesis method. For the evaluation method it was used a short personal interview where the author examined satisfaction with the course, its possible shortcomings and suggestions for improvements or enhancements.

Intraday Dynamics of Euro Area Sovereign Credit Risk Contagion
Komárek, Luboš ; Ters, Kristyna ; Urban, Jörg
We examine the role of the CDS and bond markets during and before the recent euro area sovereign debt crisis as transmission channels for credit risk contagion between sovereign entities. We analyse an intraday dataset for GIIPS countries as well as Germany, France and central European countries. Our findings suggest that, prior to the crisis, the CDS and bond markets were similarly important in the transmission of financial shock contagion, but that the importance of the bond market waned during the crisis. We find flight-to-safety effects during the crisis in the German bond market that are not present in the pre-crisis sample. Our estimated sovereign risk contagion was greater during the crisis, with an average timeline of one to two hours in GIIPS countries. By using an exogenous macroeconomic news shock, we can show that, during the crisis period, increased credit risk was not related to economic fundamentals. Further, we find that central European countries were not affected by sovereign credit risk contagion, independent of their debt level and currency.

Organization and management of production in selected enterprise
DRNOVÁ, Markéta
The topic of my dissertation is "Organization and management of production in selected enterprise". The main goal of this dissertation is mapping of selected enterprise in one year period and obtain sufficient amount of information for future analysis and suggest possible improvements. The identification data, characteristic, products and services and production planning of selected enterprise are provided in introduction of practical part of this dissertation. Analysis of present state with mapping of present state for individually semi-finished products is introduced in the next part of dissertation. For analysis of present state was calculated VA index and for each semi-finished product was created diagram of material movement in next chapter. The goal of analyses and diagram is the finding of narrow spaces in the material flow. The target map of future state was created in the next part. This map is based on present map. The future map presents critical factors that need to be improved. Finally it defines a new VA index, which should be approach to the current state. The penultimate section includes recommendations methods and elements of lean production to the new production hall which the company wants to build. Among the recommended methods are mainly the 5S method, visualization, standardization, SMED and Bottleneck. The last chapter contains a number of measures. For example employee motivation, continuous improvement, personal responsibility, introduction of EDI and ergonomics which would lead to the improvement of the business this enterprise.
