Kasperová, Jana ; Krška, Zdeněk (referee) ; Kvasnička, Jan (advisor)
We have conducted a retrospective study on disseminated intravascular coagulation syndrome (DIC) in critical care. The theoretical part of the study focusses on the epidemiology, pathogenesis, ethiology, clinical features, laboratory diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and medical complications of the disseminated intravascular coagulation syndrome, and describes the major therapeutic approaches. The aim of this study is to determine the etiology and outcome of the treatment of 29 patients hospitalized because of a DIC diagnosis in General University Hospital in Prague between January 2006 and December 2009, to analyse the changes of the laboratory test values over time, to see if there is any correlation between the chosen variables, and to assess confidence in the diagnosis of DIC according to the ISTH criteria for the diagnosis of DIC. The hypotheses that there will not be a significant difference between the gender, age and the laboratory values of DIC patients, that the mortality of septic patients with DIC will be a minimum of 50 %, and that the correlation between age, gender and the laboratory values in DIC patients will not be significant, were confirmed. On the contrary, the hypothese that the platelet count of all the DIC patients will be smaller or equal to 100 x 109 /l, prothrombin time (INR)...

In the presented thesis about developing reading skills in teaching German as a foreign language in Secondary-Grammar schools, it has been both theoretically and practically shown how important teaching of reading skills is. It was the author's original aim to complete a work that would address the readings' basic role in the communicative didactics and summarize its general significance in learning a foreign language. The general psychological character of reading and its biological, cognitive and affective aspects were the subjects of chapter two, together with the basic terminological items such as transfer and interference, context sensibility or semantic ambiguity tolerance. The communicative skills - such as linguistic, lexical, grammatical, semantic, phonological, orthographical and orthoepic - were presented with regard to their knowledge and mastery at the level of B1 and B2, as they are defined in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: learning, teaching, assessment. The objectives of both learning and teaching languages (pragmatic, cognitive and emotional) and their specificity are discussed in the second part of chapter three. The following chapter is dedicated to the definition of reading as a skill and its receptive character, especially in connection with the other...

Measuring phonological awareness – blend phoneme test in the beginning of schooling: an comparison of classical test theory and item response theory
Gorčíková, M. ; Šafr, Jiří
The main purpose of this paper is to show dis/advantages of two approaches classical test theory (CTT) and item response theory (IRT) to assess the level of diagnostic tools for evaluating phonemic awareness among first-grade students using longitudinal survey of children during the first grade of primary school (25 schools in Prague and Central Bohemia, 439 pupils). Phonemic awareness (FA) was measured by the task blend phonemes into syllables and words. The advantage of IRT compared to CTT is primarily a concept of independence of the test items. The probability of a response is dependent on the level of latent ability and characteristics of items. So if we know the characteristic of items parameter (difficulty) it could be estimated from the pupil´s responses the level of language skill for diagnostics. The results showed the need for blend phoneme test modifications (in particular for the end of the first grade) so as to adequately measure the high growth of FA ability levels during the first grade.

Comparison of intercultural competences of nursing staff in the Czech Republic and German-speaking areas
TÝLEOVÁ, Tereza
The increasing migration of population in the 21 century causes development of multicultural societies. With the increasing number of foreigners in individual countries it is possible to also presume an increasing number of patients/clients from different cultures in medical facilities. These facts require modern attitude to nursing, developing of transcultural nursing, implementing multi- and transcultural education in the health care education and propagation of multicultural conception of nursing between the nursing personnel. The result of these necessary changes should be the ability to provide effective nursing care which is culturally adjusted to the patient/client that would also take their specifics, customs and traditions of their culture into account and that would saturate all their biological, psychological, social and spiritual needs according to their race, nationality or belief. This thesis deals with multicultural nursing and confronts cultural competence of the nursing staff in Czech Republic with that in German-speaking countries. This thesis aim is to state the level of multicultural competence of the nursing staff and explore conditions provided to the nursing personnel of the hospital for giving culturally adapted care to patients-foreigners. The results of the research give an overview of the state of culturally competent care in comparable medical facilities in Czech Republic, Germany, Austria and Switzerland. They will also give a feedback to the questioned hospitals. Such information may alert their management to possible lack of knowledge of their nursing personnel and help them direct its further education. The theoretical part of the theses defines the basic concepts regarding culture, ethnic groups, race or nation, formulates the difference between the terms "multicultural" and "transcultural" nursing, multicultural education and culturally competent care, compile the most common sections of specific cultural needs of the individuals. In short it also processes J. Campinha-Bacote's model of cultural competence in health care delivery, the Papadopoulos, Tilki and Taylor Model for developing cultural competence and the Purnell Model for cultural competence. It also shortly deals with nursing frameworks for acquiring cultural data, such as the Sunrise model from M. Leininger, the Giger and Davidhizar Transcultural assessment model and Bloch's ethnic/cultural assessment guide. The empirical part processes and evaluates data obtained during the quantitative research. The accumulation of the data was conducted through anonymous questionnaires that were distributed between the nursing personnel of internal and surgical wards of the hospitals in Czech Republic and in German-speaking countries. In Czech Republic these were hospitals in Prague and in Tábor, in Germany a hospital in Dortmund and one in Cottbus, in Austria the hospitals in Salzburg and in Weiz and in Switzerland a hospital in Aarau and one in St. Gallen. The collection of the data was conducted either on-line or by way of printed questionnaire forms. The acquired data were valorized and sorted into diagrams and tables for further clarity. From the respondent´s answers follows that the queried medical facilities in Czech Republic do not provide sufficient conditions for their workers to give culturally competent nursing care on such a level, as it is at the facilities questioned in the German-speaking areas. The results also show that language skills of the nursing personnel in these hospitals in Czech Republic are worse than those in the German-speaking countries. With the level of multicultural competence the situation is similar; in this field Czech nursing personnel does not match their foreign counterpart. It is necessary to remark that this research sample of two hospitals from each of the countries is insufficient for the results to be applied on the whole Czech Republic or German speaking countries.
