Migration of labour force in the context of an enlarged Europe
Polačková, Lenka ; Vošta, Milan (advisor) ; Kašpar, Václav (referee)
My thesis deals with intra-EU migration, its motivation factors and then compares the advantages and disadvantages of migration. Free movement of workers is discussed in the next chapter as well as the key mobility drivers and its barriers. The thesis further deals with division of EU member states into receiving and sending countries. Future mobility intentions are analyzed in order to forecast the most probable moves in the future. In its last chapter it mentions labour mobility and ways how to measure it and then it analyses voluntary and forced mobility. In the following part labour mobility is compared to geographical mobility to see their practical implications. The eastern enlargement of the EU has brought some doubts about a massive inflow of labour migrants from the CEE countries to the old member states which has led to the introduction of transitional measures limiting free access to their labour markets. Therefore the main purpose of the thesis is to confirm or refuse the old member states' arguments that a potential migration from the new member states would threaten their labour markets.

Database design for special school at children mental sanatorium
Gottfriedová, Kateřina ; Palovská, Helena (advisor) ; Tomášková, Barbora (referee)
The goal of this bachelor thesis is to design a database, which could work as a school registry for the Basic School at Children Mental sanatorium in Louny and therefore resolve a long-standing problem of special schools, which are cooperating with these hospitals. The database should respond to legislation, respect school limitations and contain all necessary information for the school, which are not typically stored to school registry. The main point will be in cooperation with a person, who is responsible for the school registry in that school in Louny and consequently the person has enough information, which could be given to me. According to requirements and following analysis, which will be done in a few phases focused from basic design of the database to specification of all rules in detail, the model of the database will be designed. Using this model, the concrete database for Microsoft Access 2000 will be generated. In this program there will be one basic form covering the main functionality prepared in order to verify the database design. In case of successful verification, the work on this project will continue, but it will not be longer a part of this bachelor thesis. Supposed benefit is that school will be able to transfer the school registry to electronic version. Furthermore in future it could be possible to update the model to special requirements and use it for generating database for other schools, which have equal problems. Interesting point probably will be the cooperation between PowerDesigner and Microsoft Access. The structure of the thesis is divided into two parts -- theoretical and practical. The practical part has four phases and each of them is based on interview, analysis and has its own output. The outputs are E-R diagram, conceptual model, physical model, set of tables and form with test data.

Thunderstorm as a hazardous atmospheric phenomenon and possibilities of its forecasting
Valachová, Michaela ; Žák, Michal (advisor) ; Řezáčová, Daniela (referee)
In the presented work we deal with the possibility of thunderstorm forecasting. Convective storms are probably the most serious consequences of severe weather in the Czech Republic. Even through the big progress in numerical weather prediction methods, the forecast of their occurrence and intensity estimation remains very difficult when issuing warning information for the given area. Knowledge of nowadays possibilities of strong convection forecasting is included. To study the success of the thunderstorm prediction we chose the set of thunderstorm events with significant convective phenomena identified in the Czech Republic. Data from numerical weather prediction models, aerological stations and remote sensing of Earth were used. These selected cases were assessed with respect to practical using in the Integrated Warning System in the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute.

Connection between the solubility and the mutagenicity of nitrobenzanthrones in water and organic solvents
Řeboun, Martin ; Martínek, Václav (advisor) ; Hudeček, Jiří (referee)
2-Nitrobenzanthron (2-NBA) and 3-nitrobenzanthron (3-NBA) are pollutants widely occurring in the environment. The main sources of benzanthrones are combustion products (i.e. diesel exhausts, wood and cigarette smoke ...). 3-NBA is proven mutagen and carcinogen for bacteria and mammals and it is probably mutagenic also to humans. Nitronbezanthrones can form covalent adducts with purine bases in DNA after their metabolic activation. Genotoxic properties of 2-NBA are lover by 3-4 orders of magnitudes in comparison to 2-NBA, large difference in the solubility, and therefore also the difference in their bioavailability, of these isomers can be among the factors explaining this phenomenon. One of our goals was to determine the solubility of 3-NBA and 2-NBA in water and in methanol. The second objective was to determine the extinction coefficients for their solutions in water and methanol. Two different methods were employed to determine the solubility of 3-NBA and 2-NBA. The first method was based on stepwise adding of the stock solution of 3-/2-NBA in dimethylsulfoxide to excessive volume of water and simultaneous spectrophotometric verification of the Lambert-Beer law. Additional experiments confirmed the solubility of 3-/2- NBA utilizing spectrophotometric determination of 3-/2-NBA concentration in...

New Methods for Increasing Efficiency and Speed of Functional Verification
Zachariášová, Marcela ; Dohnal, Jan (referee) ; Steininger, Andreas (referee) ; Kotásek, Zdeněk (advisor)
Při vývoji současných číslicových systémů, např. vestavěných systému a počítačového hardware, je nutné hledat postupy, jak zvýšit jejich spolehlivost. Jednou z možností je zvyšování efektivity a rychlosti verifikačních procesů, které se provádějí v raných fázích návrhu. V této dizertační práci se pozornost věnuje verifikačnímu přístupu s názvem funkční verifikace. Je identifikováno několik výzev a problému týkajících se efektivity a rychlosti funkční verifikace a ty jsou následně řešeny v cílech dizertační práce. První cíl se zaměřuje na redukci simulačního času v průběhu verifikace komplexních systémů. Důvodem je, že simulace inherentně paralelního hardwarového systému trvá velmi dlouho v porovnání s během v skutečném hardware. Je proto navrhnuta optimalizační technika, která umisťuje verifikovaný systém do FPGA akcelerátoru, zatím co část verifikačního prostředí stále běží v simulaci. Tímto přemístěním je možné výrazně zredukovat simulační režii. Druhý cíl se zabývá ručně připravovanými verifikačními prostředími, která představují výrazné omezení ve verifikační produktivitě. Tato režie však není nutná, protože většina verifikačních prostředí má velice podobnou strukturu, jelikož využívají komponenty standardních verifikačních metodik. Tyto komponenty se jen upravují s ohledem na verifikovaný systém. Proto druhá optimalizační technika analyzuje popis systému na vyšší úrovni abstrakce a automatizuje tvorbu verifikačních prostředí tím, že je automaticky generuje z tohoto vysoko-úrovňového popisu. Třetí cíl zkoumá, jak je možné docílit úplnost verifikace pomocí inteligentní automatizace. Úplnost verifikace se typicky měří pomocí různých metrik pokrytí a verifikace je ukončena, když je dosažena právě vysoká úroveň pokrytí. Proto je navržena třetí optimalizační technika, která řídí generování vstupů pro verifikovaný systém tak, aby tyto vstupy aktivovali současně co nejvíc bodů pokrytí a aby byla rychlost konvergence k maximálnímu pokrytí co nejvyšší. Jako hlavní optimalizační prostředek se používá genetický algoritmus, který je přizpůsoben pro funkční verifikaci a jeho parametry jsou vyladěny pro tuto doménu. Běží na pozadí verifikačního procesu, analyzuje dosažené pokrytí a na základě toho dynamicky upravuje omezující podmínky pro generátor vstupů. Tyto podmínky jsou reprezentovány pravděpodobnostmi, které určují výběr vhodných hodnot ze vstupní domény. Čtvrtý cíl diskutuje, zda je možné znovu použít vstupy z funkční verifikace pro účely regresního testování a optimalizovat je tak, aby byla rychlost testování co nejvyšší. Ve funkční verifikaci je totiž běžné, že vstupy jsou značně redundantní, jelikož jsou produkovány generátorem. Pro regresní testy ale tato redundance není potřebná a proto může být eliminována. Zároveň je ale nutné dbát na to, aby úroveň pokrytí dosáhnutá optimalizovanou sadou byla stejná, jako u té původní. Čtvrtá optimalizační technika toto reflektuje a opět používá genetický algoritmus jako optimalizační prostředek. Tentokrát ale není integrován do procesu verifikace, ale je použit až po její ukončení. Velmi rychle odstraňuje redundanci z původní sady vstupů a výsledná doba simulace je tak značně optimalizována.

The Nursing Approach to the Jehovah{\crq}s Witnesses at Medical Treatment Units
BRAUNOVÁ, Alexandra
The topic of the diploma thesis is ``The Nursing Approach to the Jehovah{\crq}s Witnesses at Medical Treatment Units{\crq}q. The probability of a nurse coming across a Jehovah{\crq}s Witness is considerable. Jehovah{\crq}s Witnesses form a large group within the Czech Republic, and therefore the nursing staff should also be ready to treat patients who belong to this community. All this in compliance with the current trend of applying the thoughts of transcultural/multicultural nursing while treating the patients. The present thesis is a contribution to this very discipline. Its task was to investigate the specifics of the Jehovah{\crq}s Witness community, and what the expectations of their members are when it comes to nursing care. With reference to the specifics and expectations, we attempted to detect the problem situations that may come up when caring for the members of the Jehovah{\crq}s Witness community. All this information was investigated in order to be able to offer culturally sensitive nursing care to the patients who belong to the Jehovah{\crq}s Witness community. For the empiric part of the thesis, four objectives were set that lead to three research questions and three hypotheses. Two research methods were chosen, the qualitative method: a semi-standardized dialogue with the respondents being members of the Jehovah{\crq}s Witnesses; and a quantitative method: a questionnaire for the nursing staff of the medical treatment units. The conception of a Jehovah{\crq}s Witness in general is improved by the division of the information in the dialogue according to the Giger and Davidhizar transcultural nursing assessment model. For further clarification of the problem, questions concerning hospitalization and nursing staff were added. The results of the dialogues were drafted as case reports which were then categorized in transparent tables and charts. The questionnaire contained identification questions and questions clarifying the given problem. The remaining questions were aimed at direct or indirect verification of the hypotheses we have set. The outcome of the questionnaire investigation is introduced using tables and charts. The specifics of the approach of the nursing staff are summarized in a nursing care standard, which can be used by the nursing staff when caring for a client/patient who belongs to the Jehovah{\crq}s Witnesses. The thesis offers information on the Jehovah{\crq}s Witness community, and explains the singularities of the approach of the nursing staff towards them. The outcome of the thesis should serve as study material for the students of nursing disciplines, and at the same time we would appreciate it if it was published to become available to the professional community. The thesis should be a contribution to the improvement of the quality of nursing care.

Pohybové aktivity jako primární prevence
MARTINEK, Lukáš
The dissertation deals with the iss. of physical activity in connection with primary prevention. It concerns particularly primary prevention of non-infectious diseases with massive incidence. It is important to know the principles that can contribute to the efficiency of nursing intervention in the area of physical activity. The model of stages of readiness for change plays a significant role here. The goal of the dissertation consisted in mapping the quality and quantity of exercise in ealthy population and its differences related to gender, age, education, and its role as a tool influencing the quality of health condition. Based on that goal, the following hypotheses were stated: Men and women differ in physical activity quality. Men and women differ in physical activity quantity. The quantity of physical aktivity decreases with increasing age in healthy population. The quality level of physical activity changes with the degree of education achieved. The quantity level of physical activity changes with the degree of education achieved. Further, the following research question was asked: How does physical activity contribute to bio-psycho-social aspects of life? The research within the dissertation was designed as quantitative-qualitative research. The selection set of the quantitative part consisted of 1122 respondents who constituted a representative set of adult population for the Czech Republic, according to the preset socio-demographic indicators. The data collection was performed in form of questionnaire research through the standardized short version of IPAQ questionnaire. The degree of dependence of selected categorial features was determined by chi-square test. Ordinal and cardinal data, after verification of normality by Shapiro-Wilk test, were processed with the help of non-arametric Mann-Whitney test, Wilcoxon paired test and Spearman non-parametric correlation. The qualitative research took place in form of a six-month experiment in which the research group (20 probands) was subject to intervention of physical activity, while the control group (34 probands) lived common life. Before and after intervention, subjectively perceived quality of life was measured in both groups with the help of selected questions of the standardized WHOQOL 100 questionnaire, and body composition was measured with the help of biolectrical impedance with Bodystat 1500 device. The research found that both men and women spend most of the day sitting. That fact is very probably related also to the Body Mass Index, showing an average value of 25.6 kg/m2 in the 1122 respondents, which is a value ranking in the category of overweight. It was proved that men are more active than women, preferring more intensive physical activity, which complies fully with statements of other authors. But an interesting fact is that the intensity and frequency of physical activity are influenced by education. Particularly respondents with university education are more active. On the contrary, age is related to decreasing intensity and frequency of physical activity, which is stated by other authors as well. The dissertation had four goals set and all of them were met. The five hypotheses were verified too. It can be stated that men and women differ in the quality and quantity of physical activity. It can also be stated that the level of quality and quantity of physical activity decreases with increasing age. And finally, it was shown that the quality and quantity of physical activity change also with the level of the education achieved. Regular physical activity contributes to improve the subjectively perceived psycho-social aspects of quality of life. They influence the body composition of the probands too. Nursing, considered an irreplaceable and self-standing scientific discipline, can contribute essentially to the development of active lifestyle not only of ill but also of healthy individuals.
