The perception of tobacco and alcohol advertisement
Vondráková, Radka ; Koudelka, Jan (advisor) ; Vávra, Oldřich (referee)
The aim of my thesis is to find out what is the position of the Czech society to advertising, tobacco and alcoholic products and advertising of these products, if this position differs for men and for women and for university students. In order to achieve my goals, I used the analysis of secondary data from Market & Media & Lifestyle -- TGI, the analysis of primary data obtained from the internet questionnaire and comparison of results of both analyses. On this basis, I came to conclusion that despite university students have more negative relationship to smoking than respondents of MML-TGI and, conversely, more positive relationship to alcohol than respondents of the second research, more students than respondents MML-TGI think that tobacco and alcohol advertising should not be prohibited.

Analysis of smoking restriction methods efficiency
Radošťanová, Iveta ; Šíma, Josef (advisor) ; Houdek, Petr (referee)
Smoking is considered as the single greatest preventable cause of morbidity and mortality. Therefore government is trying to reduce smoking by its interventions. The subject of this work is to examine the effects of governmental interventions in terms of their proclaimed and actual consequences. The criterions for our evaluations will be the impact of the intervention on the public health, state budget and social redistribution. In order to outline the situation more comprehensively we will include also uninteded consequences of governmental activities. This will serve as an additional criterion for governmental intervention evaluation. We have no ambition to find the clearly best method for reduction of smoking behavior. We will attempt to point out that there are several contradictions among proclaimed and actual consequences of governmental interventions.

Nicotinism as a predisposition to the use of illegal addictive substances.
NOVÁ, Iveta
Nicotinism as a predisposition to the use of illegal addictive substances Bachelor Dissertation Abstract The goal of my Bachelor Dissertation is to map out and analyze how tobacco products and other addictive substances are used, to determine the dependence between the use of nicotine and other addictive substances and to identify the risk factors which lead to the use of these substances in the population of basic school pupils. In the theoretical part I address the concept of tobacco, its composition, dependence and the consequences of its use. I then describe the term drug addiction, its origin, development and stages. In the conclusion I characterise the period of adolescence and the risk factors and differences concerning addictive substances which are connected with it. To meet the set goals, quantitative research was chosen, a method of questioning, using anonymous questionnaires, which were employed to define pupils' experience with tobacco and other addictive drugs. Data was collected from the 9th years of basic shools and from the corresponding years of 8-year grammar schools. For the research, two assumed hypotheses were designated and opened. Hypothesis 1: The users of tobacco products have more extensive experience with illegal addictive substances than non-users of tobacco products. This hypothesis was verified. Hypothesis 2: Girls use more tobacco products than boys. This hypothesis was also verified. The results of my Bachelor Dissertation can be used for educational purposes, as part of preventive activity in educational institutions and for making this more effective, for further research and also as material for improving awareness of this issue.

Enhanced plant tolerance after ABA application
Pospíšilová, Jana ; Synková, Helena ; Baťková, Petra ; Haisel, Daniel ; Pešek, Bedřich
Critical period during micropropagation is often ex vitro transfer. The aim of this research was to determine whether exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) applied immediately after ex vitro transfer of in vitro grown tobacco regenerants can not only decrease transpiration rate and so partially eliminate their wilting but also ameliorate photoinhibition and oxidative stress. After ABA application, ABA content in tobacco leaves increased considerably, stomatal conductance and transpiration rate decreased more than in control plants and their wilting was limited. Chlorophyll and -carotene contents were higher in these plants, but the content of xanthophyll cycle pigments was not increased. However, the degree of xanthophyll cycle pigments deepoxidation was decreased what also suggested less stress in these plants. Applied ABA stimulated activities of some antioxidative enzymes but not immediately after ex vitro transfer.

Jiroutová, Adéla ; Písař, Pavel (advisor) ; Zemplinerová, Alena (referee)
Our first task will be return to the history of the USA. We will look back at trends in tobacco advertising regulation during the history, we will identify causes of this regulation and reaction of economical subjects at it. We will compare the situation of tobacco advertising and sponsorship in the European Union with regulation in the Czech Republic. Our next step will be discovering consumption trends and complexity of anti-tobacco policy in different countries within the EU. Main purpose of my work is to assess whether the regulation of tobacco advertising reached its goals. We will try to point out some falsehoods about the necessity of this regulation. We will evaluate influence of tobacco advertising on young people. We will do our best to answer the question, whether the bann of tobacco advertising has a direct impact on consumption of tobacco products. We will compare consumption of tobacco products in counties, where tobacco advertising is banned with countries, where tobacco advertising has not been prohibited. The conclusions of international studies, which deal with this topic, will be our main source of information. The economical aspects of tobacco advertising regulation and its real impact on economy will be our next object of observation. At last we will identify other effects of regulation.
