Obesity in Patiens with Psoriasis as a Risk Factor of Ischemic Heart Disease
Kadlecová, Markéta ; Arenberger, Petr (advisor)
Psoriasis is a chronic, systemic, inflammatory skin disease. There is a significant risk of many comorbidities in psoriatic patients, the most prominent of these being Metabolic Syndrome (obesity, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipoproteinemia). Metabolic Syndrome contributes to increased mortality and morbidity rate, owing to cardiovascular diseases in particular. Psoriasis itself is another contributing factor. In comparison with normal population, the mortality rate in patients with severe psoriasis is two times higher. Psoriasis and some of its comorbidities have the same pathophysiology. The same cytokines, such as TNF-alpha and inflammatory cells are involved. Integrated approach in therapy focused on the underlying inflammation may reduce the cardiovascular risk in obese patients with psoriasis. An important step in the care of patients with this combination of ailments is the prevention of ischemic heart disease, as the risk of it is higher in them. Apart from general recommendations, one can apply specific approaches. An example of these is the treatment of obesity-induced inflammation, secondary prevention of psoriasis, anti-inflammatory systemic therapy and biological therapy.

Talent Management
Herlesová, Hana ; Šikýř, Martin (advisor) ; Lansky, Miroslav (referee)
This assignment aims on the differences between the theory and praxes in managing of talented workers. The first part of the assignment is elaborated on theoretical base only and it is focused mainly on explanation of "talent" and "talent management" expressions. Further on the first part describes specific areas where the accent in talent management is necessary. The second part on the contrary to the first part deals with practical issues, processes and programs of the IBM. With respect to the company's size it is necessary to have the talent management precisely prepared as a part of company strategy, which is accomplished as a company's routine not only as a paperwork. This part contains process description of talent identification, selection, development and also retaining talented workers. Single area descriptions are completed by pictures and tables to make it well-arranged. In this section there are partly compared praxes with the theory. There is shown confrontation among theoretically defined areas and processes of talent management and IBM's areas and processes of talent management. Also important is different understanding of "talent" between theory and praxes. The third part summarizes findings and conclusions based on the confrontation between practical and theoretical parts. The fourth part evaluates actual topic of world financial crisis and its impact on the field of talent management mainly from benefits and bonuses for talented workers point of view.

The development of new dilational stents for resolving chronic benign stenosis and strictures of the respiratory airways and esophagus in children
Janoušek, Petr ; Kabelka, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Betka, Jan (referee) ; Šlapák, Ivo (referee) ; Přádný, Martin (referee)
Stenosis of the larynx and trachea accounts for a small but adverse spectrum of diagnoses in patients treated in ENT and Head and Neck Surgical departments. In treating chronic stenosis and strictures, an unequivocal, generally -accepted approach has not been established. The predominant method of treatment is surgical. Other methods applied include endoscopic (laservaporation, aryteooidectomy) and extemal (expansive, resection) procedures. 10 the pediatric population, the desired method is one which has a minimal1y harmful impact to the growing child. For these reasons, indications to exteosive surgical treatments are limited. Dilatation of stenosis and stricture, and temporary maintaining of lumen patency using stents individual1y measured "to size" seem to afford greater advantages for use in the pediatric population. In cooperation with the Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry (Academy of Sciences, Czech Republic), we have worked on the development of stents suitable for clinical use that exhibit a combination of useful properties (rigidity, absorbability, biocompatibility, microbial inactivity). The steots were developed by polymerisatioo of 2 hydroxyethy1methacrylate onto a template made from polyethylenenterphtalate type silk (Dacron). The Poly-HEMA material is registered by the national Drug...

Physiotherapist - patient relationship
FORMANOVÁ, Miroslava
The bachelor´s work The relation between the patient and the physiotherapist engages in the character of this relation, how both sides evaluate it and the factors influencing a good relation. The aim was to monitor what the relation means for physiotherapists and patients, to describe some important aspects and factors that can influence it. The theoretical part is focused at psychology and communication in medical care, further at specialities of treating children, seniors, worried and aggressive patients. The work explains the meaning of words like empathy, cooperation, burnout syndrome and other aspects which may influence the patient ? physiotherapist relationship. The practical part is divided into two parts. The first one contains dialogues with patients undergoing some therapy. The second part presents interviewing some physiotherapists. The dialogues are half-structured and subsequently processed with the help of qualitative analysis - the answers to the research questions are then obtained. The results prove that a good patient ? physiotherapist relation is essential for quality physiotherapy care and substantially influence it. Reciprocal trust is necessary: the patient´s confidence in the physiotherapist´s ability and readiness to help, and the physiotherapist´s trust in the patient´s good will to contribute to the improvement of his/her health condition. The relation is influenced by the physiotherapist´s communication skills, which have to be adjusted to each patient´s individuality. Other factors like the sex and the age can influence the relationship, too. The outcomes of the work may be useful for students and medical workers. They offer the insight into how some patients and colleagues think, which may be inspiring for them.

Influence of Stress and Nutrition on the Development of Obesity among College Students.
BÍLÁ, Veronika
In my master thesis, I examined whether the psychological stress and from it resulting changes in eating habits at college students may affect the development of obesity. I described the risk factors affecting obesity and defined recommendations on how to prevent this disease. In the practical part research results are beeing evaluated by changes in dietary or other lifestyle factors that affect the development of obesity. The sample was separated in two groups of respondents: students of study program medical assistante - nurse in a full-time and combined way of studying. The research result shown considerable differences in the lifestyles of the respondents of both groups observed during the examination period and beyond of it.

Communication problems of nurses in pacients after stroke
PECKOVÁ, Jana
The bachelor thesis "Problems in nurses´ communication with patients after cerebral vascular accident? deals with the knowledge of nurses in communication with patients with aphasia after an ictus. Right communication belongs to key points of the subsequent treatment of this disease. A cerebral vascular accident ? a stroke - can negatively affect the life of a person affected by the disease. Other negatives symptoms are provoked by acquired disorders of cognitive function. Phatic failure is of a concern in the nurse-patient communication. Patients are not usually able to express themselves properly or understand others. During their hospitalization the role of a nurse is therefore very important. Nurses should be sufficiently educated in communication and to know the specifics of this disease. Compensation aids to facilitate and improve communication with patients after a stroke should also be available and used by nurses. The objective of this thesis was to determine whether nurses follow the correct procedures in communication with patients after a stroke, and to map the most frequent communication problems between nurses and patients after a stroke. The empirical part of this study consisted of quantitative research, using an anonymous questionnaire that was designed for nurses in neurological and internal wards of the hospitals in Příbram, Písek and České Budějovice. The questionnaire contained a total of 24 questions. 107 questionnaires were distributed and the research was processed with 90 questionnaires, i.e. 84% of the original number. Three hypotheses were stated. The first hypothesis assumed that nurses know principles of good communication with patients after a stroke. This hypothesis has been confirmed. The second hypothesis assumed that nurses use aids to improve communication with patients after a stroke. This hypothesis has been confirmed. The third hypothesis assumed that nurses are interested in further upgrading skills in communicating with patients after a stroke. This hypothesis has also been confirmed. The objectives have been met on the basis of confirmed hypotheses. This bachelor thesis can serve as educational material for nurses working with patients with aphasia after a stroke.

Diseases related to work occurring to employees performing administrative and support activities
BERKOVÁ, Pavla
Diseases related to work occurring to employees performing administrative and support activities are meant primarily vertebrogenic problems, visual difficulties in the sense of visual tiredness and some chosen psychosomatic symptoms. Those diseases belong between professional diseases in the professional sense, but not in the legal sense such as occupational diseases. This thesis has two objectives. The first objective was to map the occurrence of diseases related to work among the employees performing administrative and support activities. The second objective was to find out habits, which may affect the origin of these work-related diseases.

ANALYSIS OF MILK PRODUCTION AND FERTILITY OF THE HERD OF CZECH PIED CATTLE
PATÁK, Martin
It is an essential condition of economic production in livestock farming to ensure an adequate level of milk yield and reproduction in dairy cattle herds. Therefore, it is the interest of all dairy farmers in conventional agriculture to have a herd capable of high yield which would be mainly profitable. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate selected indicators of milk yield and fertility rates of the Czech Pied cattle in the agricultural society Dublovice JSC. The observation included 430 cows that finished lactation in the control year 2010/2011. The cows were divided according to the sequence of lactation into groups 1, 2, 3, 4 and other lactations. Furthermore, they were divided according to genotypes (C100, C1, and C2) and their fathers. By the groups sorted by the sequence of lactation there was found a statistically significant difference in milk yield between 1st and 4th, 2nd and 4th, 3rd and 4th and other lactations on the importance level P<0,001. The highest average yield reached the cows with the genotype C100 of 4 and other lactations (8 371 kg). However, the significant effect of genotype on the productivity by the cows according to the sequence of lactation was not confirmed. The highest average yield (8 277 kg) was reached by the daughters of the bull REZ 376 (C59R) and the statistically significant difference on the level of importance P<0,05 was proved. By the service period was significant only the influence of fathers. By the meantime and the first calving age were the differences between groups of no statistic importance. The most common reason for cow elimination was disease of mammary gland (25.9% of the total number of eliminated cows) and postpartum difficulties (20%). By the cows in the observed herd was found a higher milk yield (7 423 kg) in comparison to the average yield of the Czech Pied cattle in the Czech Republic (6 548 kg). Service period, meantime and the first calving correspond to the farming aim of the Czech Pied cattle.

Conscientious objection in European law
Dušek, Petr ; Scheu, Harald Christian (advisor) ; Wintr, Jan (referee)
This thesis is aimed on the social phenomenon of conscientious objection, its theoretical perception as a legal concept and application in the real world, in particular by the supranational protection of human rights in the European area. Priority concern will be given to the transposition of the general assessments to the special "habitat" of EU law. The basis of the study is built on an analysis of definitions and categories refined by the doctrine and reinforced by the roots of natural law, both of which also serve to determine the methodology and legal perception of conscientious objection. A short study of the Czech law then follows to "pump the theory in legal veins". Large part of the thesis addresses the case law adopted by the European Court of Human Rights which serves as an inspiration and authority for the Union and its Member States. Abstracting the main trends in ECtHR reasoning the thesis draws basic limits laid down by the international protection. It also concludes that the Convention (ECHR) does not preclude developing its own pro or contra- objection approach by the EU institutions. It is, however, supposed to have a great impact on the Unions' legal "technique" in the field of the freedom of thought, conscience and religion. In the context of EU law the special nature of the...

The Novel of Central Europe The Green Virgin by Bernhard Setzwein
Šťavíková, Veronika ; Glosíková, Viera (advisor) ; Maidl, Václav (referee)
Nach der politischen Wende 1989 tauchte das Wort vom "Blick über die Grenze" auf. Mit diesem Begriff kamen wahrscheinlich zuerst die Autoren des Lesebuchs "Böhmen" von der "edition lichtung" aus Viechtach im Bayerischen Wald.1 Zehn Jahre später war der "Blick über die Grenze" der Chamer Zeitung und Kötztinger Zeitung als tägliches Feuilleton über bayerisch-deutschtschechische Themen geboren (Ende 2001). Kurz vorher konnte man im Tschechischen Rundfunk Pilsen bereits die Sendung "Pohled přes hranice" hören, also mit dem gleichen Titel. Inzwischen ist ein neues Buch "Böhmerwald' des Viechtacher Verlags erschienen, das sich ebenfalls als "Blick" verstehen könnte.2 Einmal wöchentlich präsentiert die Sächsische Freie Presse (Chemnitz) eine ganze Seite als "Blick nach Böhmen", und zwar ebenfalls schon seit ein paar Jahren.
