Strategy of the Innovations of Vehicle Inspection Emission Stations
Marušková, Helena ; Růžička, Miroslav (advisor) ; Tichá, Ivana (referee)
The doctoral thesis Strategy of the Innovations of Vehicle Inspection Emission Stations is engaged in marketing strategies and innovations of the vehicle inspection emission stations in the Czech Republic. The theoretical part is dedicated to the references and describes marketing environment, SWOT analysis, marketing strategies, marketing mix and several "P". It also focuses on the innovation and innovation strategies, the different types of marketing research, the exhaust emissions of combustion engines, the homologation regulations and the periodic emission measurements at the vehicle inspections emission stations in the Czech Republic and in the world. The aim of this thesis is to describe and analyze the current situation and work up a strategy of the innovations of vehicle inspection emission stations.
The practical part is devoted to analysis of the marketing environment (PEST analysis and the microenvironment), from which a SWOT analysis of vehicle inspection emission stations and further describes the individual components of the marketing mix SME. The chapter Marketing research SME is divided into quantitative and qualitative marketing research, which lists the various questions, charts and answers resulting from marketing research. Quantitative research is conducted through a questionnaire survey and qualitative marketing research obtains answers based on structured interviews.
The paper concludes with several suggestions of the innovation, evaluation of research questions and a summary of the individual chapters, which shows that too stringent emission limits will not lead to their real reductions. Regular tests for SMEs are set up properly and does not need to be changed. Creating a central information system (one for both STK and SME) and the implementation of video surveillance - these changes are needed not only for technical inspections stations, but also emission inspection stations. Due to the increasing number and age of vehicles and especially the fact that the current emission tests of vehicles in no-load mode engines are not able to detect all faults, the new methodology of measure emissions is needed.

The Specifics of Nursing Care of Anaemic Clients
ROKŮSKOVÁ, Pavla
The topic of this bachelor thesis is ``The Specifics of Nursing Care of Anaemic Clients{\crq}q. Anaemia is one of the most common diseases associated with haemopoiesis. It is mostly revealed as a secondary finding accompanying other diseases. Since the occurrence of this disease is rather common, the probability of providing care to an anaemic patient is large. The research part of this bachelor thesis is processed by means of qualitative research methods. The objective of the thesis was to ascertain the specifics of nursing care of anaemic patients and their unsatisfied needs as identified by them. The data were collected by means of semi-structured interviews. The interviewed persons were the nurses working in the hematologic outpatient ward and the internal ward and the anaemic clients attending the hematologic outpatient ward. The questions asked in the semi-structured interviews are based in particular on technical literature and on the conceptual nursing model of M. Gordon. The research results are processed in case reports, categorization tables and basic charts. The categorization tables contain the most interesting data obtained from the conducted interviews. The main results of the research include the ascertained specifics of nursing care in the area of blood taking, changes in the food composition and the movement regime, and application of transfusions and medication. The other results of the research include ascertainment of unsatisfied needs of anaemic clients. The unsatisfied needs of the clients are reported in particular in the area of physiological needs where the greatest troubles are caused by prevalent tiredness accompanying this disease. On the basis of the research results a hypothesis for further research has been proposed. This thesis is intended especially for the professional nursing community. The results of the research draw attention to the needs felt by the clients and to the specifics of nursing care provided to these clients. The benefit of the thesis consists in the opportunity to utilize the obtained findings for study purposes and in provision of nursing care to anaemic clients.

The most important dietary sources of lipophilic vitamins
Šafránková, Simona ; Hejtmánková, Alena (advisor) ; Táborský, Jan (referee)
Basic piece of knowledge about nutrition and its need should be integral to every mans general knowledge. One of the vital nutritions ensuring a full-functioning organism are vitamins. Vitamins are essential ingredients, which play an important role in the human body and also in the processes of absorption and the exchange of substances between the external environment and living organism. They were discovered recently during the 20th century. The researches on their effects on the human body are still ongoing.
The vitamins are divided into two basic groups, water soluble vitamins, the so called hydrophilic (vitamins B and C), and fat soluble vitamins, the so called lipophilic (vitamins A, D, E and K).
The vitamin A is important to ensure good vision and recognizing colors. It support the quality and growth of bones, affects the egg and sperm and is needed for proper fetal development.
Vitamin A is found in foods of animal origin, such as dairy products, milk, meat and liver. In the food of plant origin, the vitamin A is replaced with many provitamins, of which most important is the beta carotene. A very rich source of these provitamins are leafy greens such as spinach or cabbage.
The recommended daily intake of vitamin A is 800 microgram, according to the standards of Czech republic. This need depends on the gender and age of each individual. The lack of vitamins A causes photophobia and impaired vision. The excess of vitamin A may be toxic for the organism. The interesting fact is that the beta carotene is not considered to be toxic.
Vitamin A is one of the labile vitamins. It is sensitive to heat, light and oxygen. At a gentle meal preparation and usual diet, the losses are around 20 %.
The vitamin D is consisted of group of several biologically active substances, of which the most important are vitamin D2, ergokalciferol, to be found in foods of plant origin, and vitamin D3, cholekalciferol, to be found in foods of animal origin.
In the human body, vitamin D acts as a hormone, it is formed at one point of the organism, but affects a different part of the body. The vitamin D ensures the intake and absorption of calcium and phosphorus and maintain their balance. It supports the immune system and may help in the psoriasis treatment.
The recommended daily intake of vitamin D is about 2,5 to 10 microgram. Pregnant and lactating women have a greater need for it, as well as infants and children. The lack of vitamin D disturbs the homeostasis of calcium and phosphate metabolism. The excess of vitamin D causes hypercalcaemia.
The most important foods source of vitamin D are liver, oil from fish liver, oil sea fish, fortified margarine and milk.
Vitamin D is sensitive to oxygen and light, its activity is not significantly affected by food storage or preparation.
Vitamin E is a major antioxidant. It is important to maintain the healthy cell wall and skin, muscles, nerves, erythrocytes, heart, and it is also responsible for the proper function of blood circulation.
The recommended daily intake of vitamin E is 8 to 20 mg. Its need is increased during exposure to sunlight and harmful influences, during increased physical exertion and when receiving large amounts of unsaturated fatty acids. The lack of vitamin E almost does not occur in healthy people, since it is present in nearly all basic kind of foods. The hypervitaminosis of vitamin E occurs only rarely, because there is no risk of overdose when receiving a normal diet.
The most important foods source of vitamin E are vegetal oils (such as sunflower and rapeseed), nuts, corn, pea, corn products, dark green leaf vegetables, eggs, liver and viscera.
Vitamin E is considered the most stable lipophilic vitamin. There is only a minimal loss of tocopherol during food processing, these losses are approximately 10 %.
The vitamin K supports blood clotting in the human body and, along with the vitamin D, is involved in the constant bone development and remodeling.
Both foods of plant and animal origin are sources of vitamin K, such as meat, liver, milk, vegetables and fruit. The recommended daily intake of vitamin K is around 0,01 to 0,14 mg. The infants and children up to three years have lower need of vitamin K intake. The most common cause of vitamin K hypovitaminosis is disruption of intestinal microflora caused by various drugs, e.g. antibiotics. Too high doses of vitamin K can accumulate in the body and lead to the breakdown of erythrocytes, damage the liver and cause jaundice in children.
There is not much information known about the stability of vitamin K yet. It has been found that vitamin K decomposes rapidly in the light, however its losses during food processing are minimal.

The study of the Amazonian Pavilion
Trčková, Veronika ; Vacek, Oldřich (advisor) ; Pavel, Pavel (referee)
If we designed a building intended for people, we would be able to base it on many predetermined regulations and standards. The only remaining work would be a detailed literature study and creation itself. Constructing buildings for regular farm animal breeding would, in a simplified way, follow the same pattern. However, the ecosystem pavilion is a very particular space. It's a combination of animals, plants, people and various technical, operational, layout and stage design solutions.
Designing a tropical pavilion is a very complicated creation, requiring a coordination of various fields which need to find a way to cooperate. Therefore, the architect needs to work closely with zoologists, botanists, breeders and others, try to gain an insight into the animal farming issues and acquire the knowledge of trends in breeding and exposition practice.
The aim of the diploma thesis is to summarize the findings drawn from reference literature and to develop a comprehensive research which consists of historical development of menageries, continues to contemporary modern zoological garden and finally to ecosystem pavilion phenomenon. After this complex issue, we review the foundation data on the definition and characteristics of the territory supporting the pavilion study and we reflect on the principles of designing the ecosystem pavilion.
The project itself is a study of pavilion interior which represents a sector of Amazon ecosystem. We can simply say that it comprises living botanical and zoological collections of this habitat, which are supplemented by imitations of natural elements. It results in an almost perfect impression of the environment. In accordance with these basic principles, a philosophy of zoo exhibition concept is developed. A man and farmed species are put on a same level. The probability of a visitor to see the animal in the exhibition is the same as the chances of the animal to hide from unwelcome guests. This fact increases the ressemblance of the pavilion ecosystem visit to a real expedition into the countryside.

Datawarehouse
Ragab Negm, Hussein Mohamed Abdelhaq ; Merunka, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Martin, Martin (referee)
Data is being produced by the firms in ever increasing rates and firms are finding new ways to make use of data to create business value. The generated volumes of data create the need for better and cheaper storage options that allows utilizing the data as well. Data warehouses have emerged as the most appropriate tool for this task. However, data warehouses come with significant costs both human and financial. The pool of technologies for implementing data warehouses is versatile. This project aims to provide a comparative implementation using two of the technologies, namely, Microsoft SQL Server and Apache Hadoop. The project covers the different phases of building a data warehouse; the requirements specification phase; the design phase and a compact comparison between the entity-relation and dimensional modeling design techniques and the process of building a dimensional model based on based on the application data sources; the extract-transform-load phase. The comparison is then made between the two technologies for data capacity, data loading, connectivity and querying data. The project concludes that the decision to choose between Microsoft SQL Server and Apache Hadoop is not a recommendation for one over the other but should be based on the needs, resources and the existing ecosystem. Hadoop would be the choice for bigger amounts of data, unstructured or irregular data formats, and when the licensing fees are an unaffordable cost. On the other hand, Microsoft SQL Server would make a better choice when the data is structured, the anticipated data volumes are suitable and when the rest of ecosystem is Microsoft based. Future development for this project should cover new ways to make Hadoop more efficient with smaller data volumes.

Posibilities of Physiotherapeutic interventions in children with cerebral palsy
OHNISKOVÁ, Adéla
Physical therapy plays an important part in the process of treatment of this disorder. Which in this case for life. The objective of my thesis was to sum up theoretical knowledge and information on CCP and on physical therapy of children suffering from CCP. The first task was to set up an overview of options and alternatives of physical therapy for children with CCP. The other task was to work out case reports of two children with the CCP diagnosis. Then a therapy plan, based on the knowledge from the theoretical part and on the patient´s examination, was made up. A combination of therapy techniques was proposed (the Reflection Method of Locomotion {--} a method developed by M.D. Vaclav Vojta, Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF), Basal programmes and sub programmes) suitable for a client with regard to his current state, his needs and abilities. The results showed that combination of methods in therapy is beneficial for a positive influence of motoric skills of a child, improvement of motion in particular joints and for a positive mental condition of a patient This thesis might be used as a set of helpful information for physiotherapists in clinical practice, who deal with CCP, and also as a guide for parents of children with the diagnosis of children cerebral palsy.

The Breeding of Dwarf Rabbits in Flats
Lakomá, Tereza ; Zita, Lukáš (advisor) ; Dokoupilová, Adéla (referee)
Breeding of dwarf rabbits as companion animals suitable to small flats in recent years is becoming more popular in recent years. Pet animal, however, is fully dependant on human activities. It is even more true about rabbits, as they are in many cases kept in the quarters (cages, terrariums, etc.) and is only up to their owners if they allow them to move outside such quarters, how common this will be and how much it will be beneficial for the rabbit (the toys in a room, dark corners for having a rest, cramped spaces simulating dens, the possibility of a sufficient racing). This work deals with a summary of the basic needs of dwarf rabbits through the available scientific and technical literature and valid legislation of the Czech Republic and the subsequent evaluation of the current situation in each of these breeding of rabbits for a wide spectrum of breeders.
In the framework of the questionnaire survey over 350 breeders were addressed and 423 dwarf rabbits recorded. The study included the owners from the general public,
university students and the owners of the patients of the two veterinary departments. The rated factors affecting the quality of life of the rabbit were, among others: the type of quarters, nutrition, the technique of watering, hygiene and diseases. The cause and the age at death of the individual were also surveyed.
The respondents were mostly women (92%), the age of the respondents was most often ranged between 21-30 years (58%), the experience with breeding was less than 5 years (62%). One rabbit was bred (73%), in case of higher number of rabbits the quarters were separated (75%). Another animal in the household was the dog. (44%). Rabbits were under the age of five years (75%), from 1.00 up to 2.00 kg (72%), male was non-castrated (46%), female non-castrated (38%). Unlimited amount of feeding (99.5%) provided by feeding pumps (71%). Nutrition consisted of hay (95%) and succulent fodder (91%). The quarters were the cages with the possibility of racing (55%). A rabbit toilet used 74% of the respondents, 67% used the toys. 76% of the rabbits were vaccinated The most common disease was the diarrhea (12%). The average life expectancy was 5-8 years. The most common cause of death was old age (26%).
The situation in the breeding of dwarf rabbits in the domestic (residential) conditions is satisfactory. The public should be informed in more detail with the dietary needs of dwarf rabbits. Attention should also be paid to the elimination of the occurrence of the disease.

The optimization of system of employees´ benefits for non-profit organization according to the needs of employees and possibilities of employer
Dvořáková, Pavla ; Štáfek, Pavel (advisor) ; Lenka, Lenka (referee)
The diploma thesis is focused on the optimization of the system of employees´ benefits in the foundation Dobrý Anděl. The first part of the thesis is aimed at a segmentation of employees´ benefits from different aspects, especially tax deductibility and non-deductibility of expenses for the employer and the payment liabilities to the employee. The second part of the thesis deals with the concrete proposal of the new system of benefits. This proposal is created based on the financial possibilities of employer and also on the expressed preferences in individual benefits of employees. Preferences of employees are determined on the basis of written survey. From these results is created a realistic proposal of the system of benefits for foundation Dobrý Anděl, which also consider the possibility of future expansion of the whole organization. The newly created system of benefits is financially viable for the foundation and also counts with the financial reserve, which is necessary for the non-profit organization, because all the funds for operating expenses are obtained from donations.

Cooking Stone Soup: Porous Workforce Training at the Czech National Library of Technology as a Supplement to (Impermeable) University Education
Chodounská, Alena ; Krueger, Stephanie
As in many other countries around the world, STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) libraries in the Czech Republic are facing the difficult challenge of meeting the rapidly-evolving service needs of the communities they support in an environment in which the current university educational system does not provide graduates—neither those from STEM subjects nor those graduating from Czech library/information professional schools—with the appropriate set of skills needed for working in today’s specialized information provision settings. As a result, the Czech National Library of Technology (NTK) has been forced to provide on-the-job workforce training since early 2015 to its reference, instructional, and front-lines services staff simply in order to keep pace with STEM library developments outside the Czech Republic. This weekly workforce training effort, christened NTKu (short for NTKyouniversity), does not resemble traditional university education with its rigid structures and focus on the attainment of a degree. NTKu is, instead, porous: traditional “impermeable,” less flexible university curricula are supplemented with on-demand, ever-changing targeted instruction on specific issues, topics, and skills applied immediately to real-work settings. This manner of instruction, as the authors discuss in the paper, can yield highly effective results; however, unique challenges can emerge in an instructional environment lacking traditional measures of effectiveness (i.e., grades) and requiring voluntary participation by both learners and instructors. Such porous instructional efforts resemble those of open source software (OSS) communities, in which voluntary effort can produce results benefiting a particularly community—but only to the degree of investment provided by contributors. Such initiatives resemble cooking stone soup: the results can be tasty, but everyone involved needs to bring something to the table.
