Peroperative nurse work demands
VELÁTOVÁ, Simona
My thesis has two parts. Part One explains the concept of "perioperative nurse" and her competences set forth in the Decree no.55/2011 Coll., on the activities of healthcare workers and other professional workers. The following chapters discuss the working environment of perioperative nurses, job principles of perioperative nurses, preparation of the operating room, treatment and preparation of instruments and technical equipment. Theory Part One is concluded by the chapter that explains the concept of perioperative care. Part Two is focused on education and training of perioperative nurses. It provides historical information, conditions and opportunities for specialized training of perioperative nurses. The last chapter deals with lifelong learning. Objectives of the Thesis The first objective was to map the range of activities performed by perioperative nursesduring selected types of surgery. The second objective was to identify differences in perioperative nurses' activities during standard and laparoscopic surgery. The last objective was to identifyopportunities for further training of perioperative nurses. The method of qualitative research was used. Research data were collected from non-standardized in-depth interviews. The research covered perioperative nursesof three operating rooms in the Hospital of České Budějovice a. s., namely surgery, urology and gynaecology. The research was carried out in collaboration with 3 perioperative nurses of each of the above mentioned operating rooms. Responses were recorded in writingand interviews with individual nurses were numbered followed then by verbatim transcriptionof interview data. The evaluation and analysis of interviews were categorized and categories were supplemented with subcategories. The results of research focused on duties of perioperative nurses show that perioperative nurses' workencompasses many duties they have to performandfollow. The duties of perioperative nurses include activities before, during and after surgery. They smoothly follow one after another and have a predefined sequence. The Scrub Nurse and CirculatingNursejointly perform most activities. Checking was identified as the most frequent activity of perioperative nurses. Checking on the patient, checking on instruments, checking on equipment / devices, but no surgery check-listsare used in the workplaces fornow. For laparoscopic surgery, no great differences in activities were mentioned by perioperative nurses. There would only be some additional activities related to deployment, checking and control of devices. The spatial arrangement must ensure safety of the patient as well as personnel. The operation and control of devices and equipment is very challenging for perioperative nurses in terms of their technical skills and competences. The research concerning opportunities for further training of perioperative nurseshas showed that perioperative nurses prefer specialized training. As another method to refresh their knowledge, participation in workshops was mentioned by perioperative nurses. No other activities are pursued. The purpose of my thesis was to describe activities (duties) performed by perioperative nurses in their daily routine work and establish how they learn and addnew information and knowledge. Perioperative nursesmanage theactivities / operation of operating rooms. They are required to be familiar with the technique and operating procedures and faultlesslyhandle various types of instruments. Professional knowledge supports a smooth course and good quality results of surgery. All of that requires continuous control, training and expanding their knowledge. This thesis points out the need for employer'sinvestments in training and more proactive approach of perioperative nurses to lifelong learning. The research results could provide the basis for preparation of a lecture for perioperative nurses.

The natural seasonal changes in the food choice and digestive tract of wild ruminants
Kamler, Jiří ; Homolka, Miloslav
Herbivore populations all over Europe have been strongly influenced by human activities. A combination of harvest, changes in forest structure, supplementary feeding, predator extirpation and others factors have led in most cases to increases of their populations and a severe impact on the composition and structure of the forest vegetation. The food choice of free living ungulate species is strongly influenced by season and animal species and changes in diet composition and quality cause the changes in the digestive tract. Effective management of ungulate populations and forest ecosystems should be based not only on detailed information about the impact of deer browsing and the number of deer to harvest but also on the density of deer species, the food supply, the structure of diets consumed by individual species, attraction and quality of the individual components of food supply the total quality of food taken and seasonal changes in digestive tract.

Alcohol-free beers with herbal extracts
Vyskočilová, Terezie ; Lichnová, Andrea (referee) ; Márová, Ivana (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with alcohol-free beers and herbal extracts, which are the beers flavoured with. In the theoretical part the methods of non-alcoholic beer production and the representation of the active ingredients in herbs are described. A total of 7 herbal extracts were prepared and added into 3 non-alcoholic Czech beers. Each variant was examined in order to detect changes of the content of active substances before and after the addition of the herbal extract. The content of polyphenols, flavonoids, bitter substances and iso-bitter acids as well as antioxidant activity were analyzed spectrophotometrically. Using HPLC/UV-VIS analysis a content of catechins was assayed. The two selected flavours were encapsulated into liposome; the particles were tested of size and stability. Sensory analysis of all herbal extracts including the encapsulated ones was performed to determine the response of consumers and flavour preferences.

Health effects of Czech beer
Bokrová, Jitka ; Skoumalová, Petra (referee) ; Márová, Ivana (advisor)
The aim of this bachelor thesis was to study physiological effect of various kinds of lager beer and to compare these effects in Czech beer and several beers produced in foreign countries. In theoretical part Czech beer characteristics and biologically active compounds in beer are described. Quantification of total phenolics, total flavonoids, antioxidant activity and bitter substances was performed photometrically. The quantity of vitamin C was determined by high performance liquid chromatography with spectrophotometrical detection. Beer buffering capacity was analyzed by pH measurement in artificial stomach and intestinal liquid, respectively. Analysis of physiological effect was accomplished by analysis of proteolytic enzyme activity. The total of 22 samples (16 Czech and 6 foreign lager beers) was studied. In these samples levels of basic technological characteristics and buffering capacity were compared. Alcoholic and non-alcoholic beers were compared too. According to experimental data it was confirmed that consumption of Czech beer (mainly lager beer) positively influences digestion process and activity of digestive proteolytic enzymes.

Group Performance in Music Education Use of Epressive Means of Modern Popular Music in Music Education
Vepřek, Jan ; Sládek, Libor (advisor) ; Tichá, Alena (referee)
Modern popular music is worldwide spread and it is developing rapidly. Therefore it is important for the music teachers to react to this fact. They should offer students the possibility to find their bearings in the great amount of newly developing popular music and also in the new expressive means of music. Of course, this can be done through lectures and suited listening, but I argue that both these activities should be accompanied by learning-by-doing musical activity, because it gives the students the opportunity of practicing the new information and of understanding it in context. My thesis therefore focuses on this issue. It deals with the possibilities of implementing group music performance using the expressive means of modern popular music in music education. It could also be used as a set of practical advices for creating suitable music arrangements for students. The author defines key terms, most important of which are undoubtedly the concept of modern popular music and defining the group of students. The second chapter lists suitable instruments and their description. It focuses on instruments suitable for participating in the rhythmic section. We use some of the Orff instruments as well as some other user-friendly instruments. The third chapter deals with playing in a group in music...

Dynamic modification of proteins for fluorometric detection in CZE
Horká, Marie ; Šlais, Karel
The separation techniques employing fluorescence detection are sensitive and selective so they have been often applied for the trace analysis of biological samples. The commonly used derivatization of proteins can lower the detection limits; however, they can change the acido-basic properties and mobilities when compared to the native species. Recently, we have used the colored tenside as a buffer additive for the photometric detection of proteins in the UV region. The selectivity, efficiency and resolution of CZE separation using this dye were found to be similar to the CZE with SDS as the additive. In this study, the ampiphilic fluorescent compound is suggested as a buffer additive in CZE for dynamic modification of the sample of several proteins. Using the deuterium lamp for the excitation in the UV region for the on column fluorometric detection, the amol minimum detectable amounts of the proteins sampled on the CZE capillary were achieved.

Charles University in Prague Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmaceutical Botany and Ecology Candidate: Mgr. Elena Římanová Consultant: Doc. RNDr. Lubomír Opletal, CSc. Title of Thesis: Natural compounds and their biological activity I. Antioxidative activity of selected potentially toxic herbal drugs. 14 dried samples of morphological parts of potentially toxic plants, or plants with other type of restriction for common use, eventually obsolete plants (comfrey root, calamus root black locust flower, peony flower, red weed poppy flower, leaf of hawthorn with flowers, coldsfood leaf, mistletoe herb, melilot herb, woodfuff herb, pulmonaria herb, motherwort herb, St. John's wort herb, hawthorn fruit), were chosen for the evaluation of their antioxidant activity. These samples were collected from 3 regions of medicinal herbs purchases (Nepomuk, Slatiňany, Strážnice). The standardised extracts from these morphological parts were tested for their antioxidant activity (DPPH assay, EC50 values), and total phenolics were measured (Folin-Ciocalteau reagent, GAE/mg of extract). Relatively significant correlation was determined between total phenolics content and antioxidant activity by regression analysis (R2 =0,7825). Most of the samples, used for analysis, and practically no matter...
