Nursing care of patients before and after catheter ablation
KMETKOVÁ, Monika
Catheter ablation is the ultimate non-pharmacological treatment of heart rhythm disorders, allowing the destruction i.e. ablation of abnormal tissue in the heart, which has resulted in the emergence of this disorder. This is a procedure which can be targeted pathologic affect the electrical activity of a precinct of cardiac infarction. This work is dedicated to the nursing care of patients before and after catheter ablation, the level of patient awareness, the level of communication between the nurse and patient and monitors the needs of the respondents after myocardial performance. Up to date of this issue we see even that several prospective randomized trials have shown significantly higher ablation efficiency in long-term maintenance of sinus rhythm than during treatment with ant arrhythmic drugs. Furthermore, the quality of life after catheter ablation increases and its improvement is significantly higher than with ant arrhythmic drugs. The theoretical part deals in the introduction with the history of discoveries in other chapters include anatomy and function of the heart. It also provides information about heart rhythm problems, describes the clinical picture of the disease and treatment options. At the end of the theoretical part is to work preparing a patient for power, the act itself, potential complications, nursing care after surgery and the role of the nurse in her. The aim of this passage is a summary of existing knowledge about resolved issue. This section has been prepared on the basis of relevant literature sources. The aim of this work is to determine the specifics of nursing care before and after the performance of catheter ablation. To achieve this objective were in the empirical part used the qualitative research methods. In this section were collected answers to three research questions. What is the awareness of patients undergoing catheter ablation performance? What is nurse communication with the patient? What are the needs of the patient after surgery catheter ablation? The survey was conducted in patients undergoing catheter ablation performance. Interviews took place in the hospital České Budějovice and in the Institute for Clinical and Experimental Medicine (IKEM) in Prague cardiology department. The survey was included in a group of ten respondents. Their choice was determined by the willingness of respondents to participate in the research and work on it. For each of the participants used non - standardized form of interview. The results of the survey were analyzed and entered into categories. In view of the results of our work we want the work and its results as much as possible open up to the public of professional nursing. We hope that results of the work will increase the interest of the professional public about this issue and ask other workers willing to contribute to their solution.

Human Rights in the American Revolution
GREGOROVÁ, Markéta
The bachelor thesis is focused on theory of human rights, which was developed by American thinkers during the American Revolution. The discussion of this subject is based on methods of intellectual history. Thus the thesis fill in the gap in Czech research, which has not paid attention to intellectual history of the American Revolution. The research is based on the philosophical work of John Witherspoon (1723-1794), who lectured moral philosophy at New Jersey College (present-day Princeton University). This philosopher and clergyman participated in the Congress which drafted the Declaration of Independence. In his lectures, he was concerned with philosophical defence of goals of the American Revolution. The aim of this thesis is interpretation and analysis of Witherspoon´s Lectures on Moral Philosophy and recognition of his conception of human rights.

Defence of organism against reactive oxide substances and the role of nutrition in it
BENDLOVÁ, Radka
Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species along with environmental toxins are the most frequently cited sources of pathological effects on physiological proceses in man and on the development of degenerative diseases (diseases of civilization). Numerous free radicals commonly occur in the organism because they are part of physiological processes (physical exercive, food processing, the body's immune defence). On one hand highly reactive oxygen species play an important role in antimicrobial protection of the human body, helping to kill microorganismus during phagocytosis. Other side of oxidative stress (overproduction of reactive oxygenates) participates damage to proteins, lipids and nucleic acids. Oxidative damage to biomolecules has to be counteracted by antioxidant defense. Sufficient level of antioxidants in biological tissues act protectively. If we follow the recommended quantity and composition of food rich in antioxidants we can substantially contribute to improving our health and reduce the risk of manifestation of the serious diseases, so called civilization diseases.

Changes in Strategic Cultures of Ireland and Sweden in the Context of the European Security and Defence Policy-Activism and its Limits
Burda, Tomáš ; Rovná, Lenka (advisor) ; Váška, Jan (referee)
The diploma thesis "Changes in Irish and Swedish Strategic Cultures in the Context of ESDP" deals with Ireland's and Sweden's involvement in the military dimension of the European Security and Defence Policy (ESDP) focusing on observable changes in national strategic cultures of the states mentioned. The primary aim of the thesis is to find out whether Ireland and Sweden, specific for their long history of neutrality and low level of activism in the use of force, has become more active in pursuit of their security and defence policies. Moreover, findings of this instrumental case study, which uses the method of the least probable case, are supposed to verify a general thesis formulated by Christoph O. Meyer that strategic cultures of states participating in the ESDP are heading towards greater activism. Applying the conceptual framework proposed by Meyer, the thesis analyses modifications in strategic norms representing the most persistent components of each national strategic culture. The norms explored include preferred mode of security and defence cooperation, acceptable goals for the use of force and requirements for domestic and international authorization. The thesis presumes that dominant strategic norms shared by relevant Irish and Swedish decision makers have a major influence on security and...

Study of β-N-acetylhexosaminidase in tobacco plants
Valenta, Robert ; Tichá, Marie (referee) ; Ryšlavá, Helena (advisor)
β-N-acetylhexosaminidases are ubiquitous in all living organisms, but there is little information about these enzymes in plants, especially in leaves. Suggested functions of plant β-N-acetylhexosaminidases are participation in defence responses against fungal and other pathogens and also in degradation of storage glycoproteins. β-N-acetylhexosaminidase from tobacco leaves (Nicotiana tabacum L.) was purified to final specific activity 190 nmol min-1 mg-1 with p-NP-GlcNAc as substrate. Precipitation by ammonium sulphate, gel filtration chromatography on Sephacryl S-300 column and affinity chromatography on Con A- Sepharose column were used. Michaelis constant and maximal reaction rate of β-N- acetylhexosaminidases determined for p-NP-GlcNAc was 0.33 mM and 414 nmol min-1 mg-1 , respectively. The cleavage of diacetylchitobiose catalyzed by β-N-acetylhexosaminidase was studied using capillary electrophoresis. Determined activity of β-N-acetylhexosaminidase for diacetylchitobiose was more than 10-times lower compared to β-N-acetylhexosaminidase activity for p-NP-GlcNAc. These results indicate that chitobiose and probably other chitooligomers are not natural substrates of β-N-acetylhexosaminidase and thus this enzyme is most likely not involved in protection against fungal pathogens. Natural substrate...

Specific elemets of civil defence of the population regarding physically disabled people of the Slovak Republic.
HARMANOVÁ, Veronika
In Slovak Republic, fundamentals of protection of people, property and environment are established by the Constitution of Slovak Republic, the Security Strategy of Slovak Republic and by numerous Acts, Declarations or Regulations of Government which refer to Civilian Protection and Integrated Rescue System. Legislative standards with regards to protection of health or property does not take into account people with health disabilities despite the fact that the right for safety and timely warning of imminent danger is granted for every citizen on the territory of Slovak Republic. Objective of my diploma work is to investigate readiness of institutions participating on solutions of extraordinary events which struck people with health disabilities. Based on results of quantitative survey we would like to point out on deficiencies of the system and to propose a solution to improve procedures of the Integrated Rescue System and Civil Protection with regards to people with health disabilities. Further objective is to process a proposal of methodical tutorial which would contain basis gesticulation important for communication with the hearing impaired. Theoretical part of the diploma work consists of several chapters. The first part discusses basic families, classes and types of health impairment. Further on system of Civil Protection and its mission was processed. Last part is dedicated to the Integrated Rescue System. In that chapter we described fundamental and other rescue branches which by large participated on solutions of extraordinary events. The theory was processed by means of law legislation, sources of literature and internet websites. The empirical (practical) part of the thesis has been used qualitative research method. Because it is extremely difficult to collect such data were made through guided interview with experts of Civil Protection and managers of particular rescue branches (Fire fighting and Rescue Force, Rescue Health Service, Police Force) only in three selected counties of Presov region (Poprad, Stará Ľubovňa, Prešov). Results of the managed interview were evaluated by SWOT analysis which compares the internal and external environment. On the basis of empirical phenomenon a searching strategy (WO) was chosen whereby the focus was laid on utilizing opportunities and eliminating weaknesses. Based on results we concluded that issue of health disability isn?t incorporated into law legislation and plans to solve extraordinary events. There is no common education of managerial and executive rescue branches which would enable them to gather fundamental knowledge of classes and specifications of health disability, possibilities of communication and means of first-aid provision. For further qualitative and quantitative development of education there is a deficiency of material-didactic instruments which serve to accomplish the objective. We also concluded that when rescuing health-impaired people there are no special procedures and methods taken into account. At the same time for the hearing-impaired there is no system of timely warning and information of imminent danger and possibility to call rescue branches through the emergency phone line. With regards to existing deficiencies we proposed practical recommendations. To improve communication with hearing impaired people we created a proposal of a methodical instrument for rescue branches which contains basic signs. As a part of it there is also a one-hand and two-hand finger alphabet for refinement and visualisation of words.

Secretory pathway of plants in pathogene defence
Sabol, Peter ; Burketová, Lenka (referee) ; Kulich, Ivan (advisor)
Plants are sessile organisms that have to cope with the changes of their ambient environment. These changes include abiotic disturbances and stresses as well as biotic interactions with other organisms. In many of the biotic interactions, plant cells are hurt or damaged by various bacterial and fungal pathogens. Moreover, plants lack mobile immune cells, which would otherwise render them susceptible to most of these pathogens. Plants have, however, developed other mechanisms for suppressing the infection. Activating the components of the secretory pathway during resistance response is crucial step for suppressing the penetration and growth of pathogens. Fungal pathogens, such as powdery mildews, usually attempt to penetrate the cell wall in order to gain the access to protoplast providing nutrients and to exchange their virulence factors. On the other hand, pathogenic bacteria inhabit extracellular spaces of plant tissues. In both cases, however, the deposition of papilla into the plant cell wall was observed. Papilla thus seems to be the common defence mechanism. There is an increasing evidence confirming the indispensable role of polarized secretion in formation of papilla. Recently, SNARE proteins participating in papilla-associated defence have been described. PEN1 and SNAP33 syntaxins are of...

Neutrality of Sweden as EU Member Country
Bohatová, Martina ; Dubský, Zbyněk (advisor) ; Sršeň, Radim (referee)
Sweden is currently viewed as a small country of North Europe. However, it can be proud of a long historical tradition with a number of political successes -- the fact that there has not been a war for more than two hundred years due to neutrality can be considered as the biggest one. The neutrality is perceived as a politico-security conception. The thesis tries to sum up the perception of Swedish neutrality, to chart its changes in time and to measure its compatibility with the EU membership through the observation of the Swedish foreign policy, the participation in Common Foreign and Security Policy, Common Security and Defence Policy and the preparation of the EU Council Presidency. The aim is to confirm the hypothesis that Sweden is due to changes in the perception of neutrality concept the full member of the European Union also in such complex things as Common Foreign and Security Policy and the Common Security and Defence Policy.
