The Role of Imaging in Surgical Inflammatory Complications
KOPRDOVÁ, Eliška
The Role of Imaging in Surgical Inflammatory Complications Interventional radiology is a dynamic and fast developing specialization. Development of new methods and instruments extends possibilities of mini-invasive treatment of a wide range of illnesses. Introduction of a specific percutaneous drain in case of abdominal abscess in clinical practice counts among most important progress of 1980s concerning this field. The percutaneous drain is relatively fast and simple method and it belongs to urgent interventional operations. Indication for the percutaneous drain is a treatment or a palliative treatment of sepsis accompanied by an infected lesion. Most authors agree that there is no absolute contraindication of the percutaneous drain for pathological liquid collection. Therefore, this type of drain may be considered as a method selection. It is possible to execute it even before a possible surgical operation. The goal of my work was to assess retrospectively the experience of the Radiological Department of the Teaching Hospital in Plzeň Bory concerning this field within the selected period of time. For this reason, a single-purpose database has been created, which contains data of patients who underwent the percutaneous drain under the supervision of the CT or UZ within a certain period of time. Such data has been processed statistically. The work did not prove any of the hypotheses of mine that interventional techniques may in all cases substitute surgical operation while treating suppurative inflammatory lesions in the area of chest, abdomen and soft tissues. The percutaneous drain brings unquestionable advantages into clinical practice. Among most important ones, there are a removal of a surgical operation risk and of total anaesthesia, above all in the acute phase of illness. Simplification of post-operative care, shortening of the average hospitalization as well as economic advantages. This concerns a method that should always be considered as the first step among possible treatments of infected lesion.

Genesis of a "New Woman": lives and activities of academically educated women in the Czech lands in the first half of the 20th century through the example of the organized women academician's movement
Malá, Marie ; Kvaček, Robert (advisor) ; Pokorná, Magdaléna (referee)
The proposed diploma thesis focuses on the poorly explored theme of the women participation among university intelligentsia in the Czech Lands in the first half of the 20th century. The chosen theme is analyzed from the point of view of women's academic clubs, which have appeared in this region already at the beginning of 20th century. In addition to their representative function they have also fulfilled the mission of peculiar cultural and social agents of their age. Concurrently with the exploration of history, this thesis follows the significance and the structure of three forms of organized women academicians' movement, the prospective 5 personal and ideological continuity in the women academic society, which concentrated in the 'Ženský kroužek Slavia', in the Sdružení akademicky vzdělaných žen, and between the two world wars in the 'Sdružení vysokoškolsky vzdělaných žen v R. Č. S. For the purpose of encompassing a broader context, within which the mentioned fellowships have pursued their activities, the thesis also partly mentions the general evolution of the possibility of women's academic education, and also the dimension of sociability of women intelligentsia, which became expressed in the International Federation of Women - a prestigious organization, in which female academicians from more than 30...

Diving Group of the Fire Rescue Brigade of the South Bohemian Region - activities, training and education
MACHALA, Pavel
The diploma thesis focuses on the Diving Team of the Fire Rescue Service of the South Bohemia region. It concentrates on its activities, technical gear, staffing, related law regulations and internal files of the Fire Rescue Service of the Czech Republic, more precisely of the Fire Rescue Service of the South Bohemia Region. One of the main law regulations, which define tasks of the Fire Rescue Service of the Czech Republic, is currently Act No. 320/2015 collection about the Fire Rescue Team of the Czech Republic and about the changes in some laws. In order to fulfil all the tasks and duties, it is necessary to be well trained in specialized fire rescue skills, without which the above mentioned could not be performed. The examples of these skills are the skills of the Diving Team of the Fire Rescue Service of the Czech Republic. Their main assignments are mainly rescue works, which are supposed to be fast and effective response in protection of human health, life, possession and environment, which require activities done under water surface. The members of the team the divers must deal with a high number of unfavourable circumstances and negative leverages. They not only make their work more complicated but also put their health and life at risk. For all the above-mentioned reasons this work requires real professionals with the best theoretical and practical training, supported by the best quality and heavy-duty gear. The divers spend most of their working time in dark, cold and mentally demanding environment; in environment containing harmful chemical and biological substances. They work on places where they are confronted by circumstances that enhance the already demanding working conditions. As their scope of activities is always under water surface they are constantly exposed to environment which places demands on their physical adaptability, and in which they must rely solely on their own abilities and reliability of their colleagues. On top of all the previously mentioned, the fire fighter diver must carry out all his tasks and assignments on the place of intervention where he is constantly under the threat of change of conditions and subsequent occurrence of a hazardous situation. In view of all the above-mentioned facts, the diver must demand on psychological endurance, perfect physical condition, above-average health condition, high technical skilfulness, and efficiency in thinking. Therefore, the fire fighter diver must be a real professional in his field. He needs a complete theoretical training, complex gear and perfect physical training, so that no unexpected situation would result in fatal consequences while performing the required task on the place of intervention in its full extent. The aim of this diploma thesis is to assess the activities of the Diving Team of the Fire Rescue Service of the South Bohemia region, verification of the sufficiency of the theoretical and practical training, as well as screening of the facilities and gear with respect to the capacity of being placed on duty in order to perform rescue operations. The assessment of the work carried out by the Diving Team in this diploma thesis is based on retrospective view at the activities performed by the Diving Team during their interventions and their professional look at the stated issues. After processing of the information from the reports about the interventions of the Diving Team of the Fire Rescue Service of the South Bohemia region for the period between January 1st 2006 and December 31st 2015, structural dialogues with the members of the Diving Team were carried out as a follow-up activity based on the results of the processing. These dialogues provided valuable information for possible suggestions and recommendations for alterations of the internal files of the Fire Rescue Service of the South Bohemia region and proposed some modifications to the equipment available to the group.

The Post - Lehman Brothers development of wages
Krutina, Michael ; Chytilová, Helena (advisor) ; Janíčko, Martin (referee)
I have targeted to analyze the patterns of wage development in the changing macroeconomic conditions. According to the expectations the evolution of nominal and real wages is inter alia positively affected by the changes in labor productivity and negatively influenced by the deviation of unemployment rate from NAIRU. The evidence of procyclical behavior of real wages is not very robust as there was not found significant correlation in the time of decreasing real GDP. The most of results of the models applied on post Lehman Brothers period are consistent with the regressions based on complete data set. The chosen data proved to be not very suitable to show the extent of wage rigidity. The significant negative relationship between the development of real wages and changes in inflation rate implies the visibility of symptoms of wage rigidities even when we work with average macroeconomic variables.

Use of Interest Rate Models for Interest Rate Risk Management in the Czech Financial Market Environment
Cíchová Králová, Dana ; Arlt, Josef (advisor) ; Cipra, Tomáš (referee) ; Witzany, Jiří (referee)
The main goal of this thesis is to suggest an appropriate approach to interest rate risk modeling in the Czech financial market environment in various situations. Three distinct periods are analyzed. These periods, which are the period before the global financial crisis, period during the financial crisis and in the aftermath of the global financial crisis and calming subsequent debt crisis in the eurozone, are characterized by different evaluation of liquidity and credit risk, different relationship between financial variables and market participants and different degree of market regulations. Within this goal, an application of the BGM model in the Czech financial market environment is crucial. Use of the BGM model for the purpose of predicting a dynamics of a yield curve is not very common. This is firstly due to the fact that primary use of this model is a valuation of interest rate derivatives while ensuring the absence of arbitrage and secondly its application is relatively difficult. Nevertheless, I apply the BGM model to obtain predictions of the probability distributions of interest rates in the Czech and eurozone market environment, because its complexity, direct modeling of a yield curve based on market rates and especially a possibility of parameter estimation based on current swaptions volatilities quotations may lead to a significant improvement of predictions. This improvement was also confirmed in this thesis. Use of swaptions volatilities market quotations is especially useful in the period of unprecedented mone- tary easing and increased number of central banks and other regulators interventions into financial markets that occur after the financial crisis, because it reflects current market expectations which also include future interventions. As a consequence of underdevelopment of the Czech financial market there are no market quotations of Czech koruna denominated swaptions volatilities. I suggest their approximations based on quotations of euro denominated swaptions volatilities and also using volatilities of koruna and euro forward rates. Use of this approach ensures that predictions of the Czech yield curve dynamics contain current market expectations. To my knowledge, any other author has not presented similar application of the BGM model in the Czech financial market environment. In this thesis I further predict a Czech and Euro area money market yield curve dynamics using the CIR and the GP models as representatives of various types of interest rates models to compare these predictions with BGM predictions. I suggest a comprehensive system of three criteria, based on comparison of predicti- ons with reality, to describe a predictive power of selected models and an appropria- teness of their use in the Czech market environment during different situations in the market. This analysis shows that predictions of the Czech money market yield curve dynamics based on the BGM model demonstrate high predictive power and the best 8 quality in comparison with other models. GP model also produces relatively good qua- lity predictions. Conversely, predictions based on the CIR model as a representative of short rate model family completely failed when describing reality. In a situation when the economy allows negative rates and there is simultaneously a significant likelihood of their implementation, I recommend to obtain predictions of Czech money market yield curve dynamics using GP model which allows existence of negative interest rates. This analysis also contains a statistical test for validating the predictive power of each model and information on other tests. Berkowitz test rejects a hypothesis of accurate predictions for each model. However, this fact is common in real data testing even when using relatively good model. This fact is especially caused by difficult fulfilment of test conditions in real world. To my knowledge, such an analysis of the predictive power of selected interest rate models moreover in the Czech financial market environment has not been published yet. The last goal of this thesis is to suggest an appropriate approach to obtaining pre- dictions of Czech government bonds risk premium dynamics. I define this risk premium as a difference between government bond yields and fixed rate of CZK IRS with the same length. I apply the GP model to describe the dynamics of this indicator of the Czech Republic credit risk. In order to obtain a time series of the risk premium which are necessary for estimation of GP model parameters I firstly estimate yield curves of Czech government bonds using Svensson model for each trading day since 2005. Resulting si- mulations of risk premium show that the GP model predicts the real development of risk premiums of all maturities relatively well. Hence, the proposed approach is suitable for modeling of Czech Republic credit risk based on the use of information extracted from financial markets. I have not registered proposed approach to risk premium modeling moreover in the Czech financial market environment in other publications.

The hip fracture register, optimalization of hip hemiarthroplasty position
Skála - Rosenbaum, Jiří ; Bartoníček, Jan (advisor) ; Chomiak, Jiří (referee) ; Janeček, Miloš (referee)
The study examines the monocentric epidemiological data of patients with hip fractures from 1997-2007. Adult patients treated for hip fracture between the years 1997-2007 were included in the study. Retrospective statistical assessment of continually gathered data focused on epidemiology and demographics. The second part of the study was concerned on risk factors on protrusion of hemiarthroplasty into the acetabulum. The goal was to specify exact indication, proper operative technique and selection of the implant. The study involved 3 683 patients (2 678 women, 1 005 men). Patients older than 70 years accounted for 82 % of all cases. There was an increase in the number of hip fractures resulting in a significant increase in pertrochanteric fractures (AO-31A1+2) (p<0.001). The ratio of trochanteric to neck hip fractures increased from 0.99 to 1.53. Continual monitoring of patients with hip fracture offers data which allows comparisons between regions and countries. The importace of a continual increase in the number of hip fractures has its importance in macroeconomical planning in traumatology. Hemiarthroplasty was conversed to total hip arthroplasty in 12 patients in our department. The indication, time period to conversion and hemiarthroplasty position were retrospectively assessed. The direction of...

Floristic survey of part natural reserve Sluneční stráň (Ústí nad Labem district)
Štrymplová, Linda ; Česká, Jana (advisor) ; Hnilička, František (referee)
The floristic survey of the part of natural reserve Sluneční stráň (Ústí nad Labem district) was carried out in the vegetation period in 2015.
The studied area is located near the village of Brná in Ústí nad Labem district. Typical is primarily its geobiocenosis of the Bohemian Uplands and xerothermic flora and fauna.
The aim of this thesis was floristic inventory of the given part area and re-inventory of taxa of vascular plants (related to the results of the revision of 1976 and 2012). The main focus was mainly protected and endangered species of studied area. The aim was also the assessment and evaluation of the level of applied and planned management in the context of a valid plan of this natural reserve.
The occurrence of a total of 166 plant species, of which 45 species were determined to be in danger of extinction given in the Red List of vascular plants of the Czech Republic (including 7 kinds of legislatively protected) was detected by inventories in the studied area. Even though, in comparison with previous surveys, there was a partial reduction in species diversity (possible reduction factors are discussed), this location still belongs to very valuable natural areas which must be protected.
Based on the inventory of plant species and its comparison with Habitat Catalogue of the Czech Republic, it was found that mainly a found group formation of secondary grasslands and heathlands represented by the subunits of Rock-outcrop vegetation with Festuca pallens (T3.1) - Association Alysso-Festucion pallentis, and Narrow-leaved dry grasslands (T3.3) - Association Festucion valesiacae (T3.3D - stands without a prominent occurrence of orchids) occurs in the studied area.
To keeping recommended and approved current care plan for the period 2014-2023 can maintain phytodiversity of the communities in this important area from a botanical point of view. In the care plan are itemized in detail suitable and appropriate interventions and protectionist measures.
