Pick´s disease and the specifics of the nursing care of a patient with this disease
KOPKAŠOVÁ, Lenka
Pick's disease is a degenerative-atrophic process that primarily affects the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain. Besides Alzheimer's disease, it is a lesser known form of dementia which affects people of younger age. Although the exact range of Pick's disease occurrence varies in the literature, the average reported age is between 50-60 years. The disease can change eating habits, cause emotional swings, inappropriate behaviour and sloppy appearance of the patients. The behaviour to others is often selfish, the patients are unable to listen to others and ignore their surroundings. Pick's disease is also characterized by inappropriate sexual behaviour. Globally, the number of dementia patients is still growing and according to expert guesses the increase will continue. Nursing care for patients with dementia is therefore becoming a very actual topic as dementia is called a quiet epidemic of our century. Nurses in their departments quite frequently encounter patients suffering from dementia of various origins at different stages of disability and the staff at healthcare facilities often regard these people as a burden. The aim of this thesis, which is called Pick's Disease and Specifics of Nursing Care for Patients with this Disease, is, based on the theoretical knowledge, to map definitions and diagnosis of Pick's disease, to define the needs of such a patient, and to list the most common problems in the nursing care. It focuses on people with dementia within medical facilities. For proper understanding of the problem, the thesis starts with the anatomy and physiology of the brain and the description of cognitive functions which are affected by the dementia syndrome and the definition of dementia. Based on the studied literature, dementia is divided according to various criteria. It has been found out that dividing dementia is not entirely uniform, but the essential facts and overall opinions of the authors do not diverge. Pick's disease belongs to a group of frontotemporal dementia and its position in this group has changed over time, as it is recorded in the literature. The thesis includes recommendations resulting from the studied literature in the approach to patients with dementia and emphasizes personal communication with the patients and empathetic and humane approach. Although medicine cannot prevent dementia, an early diagnosis of a specific type of dementia and correctly targeted treatment can increase the quality of life not only of the patients but also of their families. I have chosen this topic because I find it very current and interesting. During my nursing practice at the Surgery Department and Aftercare Department, I have met patients suffering from dementia and I did not know how to properly and efficiently communicate with them. For the theoretical part of my work, the methods of explanation, synthesis and induction on the basis of Czech and foreign information sources have been used. The most frequently quoted Czech authors in my thesis are doc. MD. Roman Jirák, PhD., the head of the center for diagnosis and therapy of Alzheimer's disease at the psychiatric clinic of the General University Hospital in Prague, the 1st Medical Faculty of Charles University. This thesis can serve as an informational and educational source both for nurses and the general public who may experience the disease within their families. It would be considered a great success if it helped nurses or family members to diagnose Pick's disease or other dementia at an early stage.

Relationship between the coat colour and melanoma occurrence in horses
Hovorková, Kristýna ; Hofmanová, Barbora (advisor) ; Majzlík, Ivan (referee)
The literary review is divided into two main parts, the first part is dealing with the coloring of horses and their genetic base and the second part is dealing with melanoma formations of horses and their division. In the chapter about several color types of horses there is a description of forming basic color types which is done by three locuses: COLOR, EXTENSION and AGOUTI. Locus COLOR (CREAM) controls whether or not to create pigment. EXTENSION locus controls about the type of pigment and AGOUTI locus controls the distribution of pigment.
The next subsection gives a breakdown of the white color in horses. Greying proces is related with locus GREY where there is a loss of pigment and the coat itself. This process and mutation is commonly connected with dermal melanoma. Non-pigmented spots called vtiligos are connected with the greying process, which is more intense with increasing age. Vtiligios are commonly found in grey horses, at the same locations as dermal melanoma. The places are perianal area under the tail, around the vulva, lips, eyes and around the penis.
Melanoma formations are divided according to whether they occur in Grey horses or other colored horses and whether they have a benign or malignant potential. A further breakdown of melanomas at grey horses is whether it is a separate, smaller segments or large, associated lesions, when this condition is called dermal melanomatosis.
At the end of the thesis there is a description of the treatment options for melanoma. The most effective appears to be a surgical removal of smaller formations. There were studies which have examined the anticancer action of the drug cimetidine but the results are not yet sufficiently conclusive. As preventing the occurrence of melanoma in grey horses it is appropriate to implement the necessary measures and individuals who are concerned should not be included in the next breeding.

Separation Anxiety
Poživilová, Alena ; Fiala Šebková, Naděžda (advisor) ; Chmelíková, Eva (referee)
The purpose of the thesis was to develop a scientific review, as comprehensive as possible, of literature on separation anxiety in dogs. Separation anxiety is one of the most common behavioral disorders in domestic dogs. The thesis is of compilation nature. First, separation anxiety is described and explained as an independent concept in problematic behaviour of dogs. Further, the incidence and frequency of this behavioral disorder in the dog population are described, including risk factors that precede the onset of this behavioral disorder. Many risk factors exist, which are described in detail in the thesis. Both main and secondary symptoms are described; excretion, destructiveness, hypersalivation, and vocalization. The thesis also includes a chapter on the diagnosis of separation anxiety. This chapter describes how to proceed in an effort to remedy separation anxiety, and what the owner should arrange, what he/she should be attentive to and take care of. Prevention is discussed in the subsequent chapter. The final part of the review is focused on the therapy of separation anxiety. Possible therapies include behavioral desensitisation, modification of the behaviour, and reduction of dependence on the owner. For the therapy to be as efficient as possible, pharmacotherapy is recommended. The thesis describes treatment with clomipramine, potassium clorazepate in combination with fluoxetine, fluoxetine and diazepam. However, it is more advisable to prevent separation anxiety by the very choice of a suitable dog (characteristics of the individual, its temperament, and the breed), and by responsible education on part of the owner.

Implementation of the processes in company
Večerka, Jan ; Štůsek, Jaromír (advisor)
For my diploma thesis theme I have chosen: Implementation of the processes in company. The reason is, that in 2010 I have joined this company as an system administrator into a small team.
Our company is German company with the main focus on the hardware and software in ATM, POS and all different kind of payment methods. As the market was getting more full with the hardware and to sell new ATM machine or a POS device was not more often than once per five years, the company has realized, that if they want to keep growing, they have to focus as well on the services. The aim was to sell with the software and hardware as well as a managed service attached to this contract. This would mean, that our company would have some link to the customer and could offer for them more and more standardized or tailored solutions. In the beginning it was more of a garage type of solutions and the services provided were done in a way, that the team was small and the customers and service delivery managers knew the team, who provided the service. When the service was not working, it often came via email and through escalation from customer.
With the time the business grew and so the amount of the issues and incidents. The management has recognized, that it can not be handled this way anymore and therefore the Prague department was established to setup the processes like incident, problem, change management as well as with the time other. The framework, which was chosen was ITIL.
In this thesis I would like to focus on the way, which was started and is still continuing, of a way, how the processes were established, what were the difficulties and how we have over the years progressed.
In the end I will summarize, how far we have come during this five years and from which maturity level we grew into which maturity level.
