Ethical aspects of decisions made about resuscitation of patients in the terminal phase of illness in prehospital care
UHER, Lukáš
One of the three contraindications to initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation is a condition where the patient is in the terminal stage of the disease. (Bydžovský, 2008) The patient's terminal condition of incurable disease must be diagnosed by a doctor, not a paramedic or other health professional. (Sláma, 2009) The paramedic can (...) initiate and perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation. (Decree 55/2011 Coll., §17, letter. B) In an atmosphere where over-optimistic presentation of resuscitation protocol outcomes is growing, many people believe that it is the only orrect procedure for circulatory arrest regardless of life stage or terminal conditions. This increases the pressure put on the rescuers and doctors in pre-hospital emergency care by loved ones and family members of victims of sudden circulatory arrest. A paramedic and a doctor may respond the fear of legal challenges for failure to provide heroic care by actually begining resuscitation on patients with end-stage disease, but with less emphasis on the frequency and depth of compression of the sternum against their knowledge and beliefs. This phenomenon is called "hollywood resuscitation." (Sláma, 2009) The purpose of this thesis is to outline the ethical issues of resuscitation on patients in the terminal phase of illness as perceived by emergency workers. The research question that I deal with is, ?How do emergency medical rescue service staff access the decision to resuscitate terminally ill patients with particular regard to the expectations of family members?? The introduction introduces the reader with the nature of the paramedic profession, the importance of resuscitation and my relationship to the topic. In the theoretical part I define terms such as emergency medical service, resuscitation and its indications and contraindications, medical law and terminal condition. To get the results I used qualitative research that I realized at Emergency Medical Service South Moravian Region. I asked ten basic questions. The research group consists of two male doctors, four female doctors and seven paramedics. The interviews show that the notion of hollywood resuscitation is not known, but resuscitation at the interface of ethics and justice is experienced by all. Four paramedics rate their actions as unethical, this leaves them with the feeling of disapointment in themselves and their profession. They feel forced into this bind by the legislation. For the other three paramedics ethics at the place of the event were either do not percieve or they transfered esponsibility to the doctor by calling him. All of these doctors were fully qualified and most of them have not launched the resuscitation against their ethical beliefs. Some doctors avoid the issue by speaking with sensitivity to the family, others by solving the patient's current difficulties and they get the general information about him later. To improve this situation by contributing quality education to families in the facility where the patient is monitored for his primary diagnosis. Another solution could be specific document outlining end of life choices as desired by the patient or card on which ?Do Not Resuscitate? direction is clearly given. According to these specific documents pre-event direction is given that will direct amendment the standard procedure for emergency medical services. The rescue workers will feel greater legal certainty. This final designation document solution will increase paramedic´s competences.

Press that serves the public? Survey of journals published by Prague's municipalities
Písačková, Kateřina ; Hájek, Roman (advisor) ; Krobová, Tereza (referee)
This master thesis deals with the phenomenon of journals published by local municipalities, defined in a recent amendment to the Press Act in the legal order of the Czech Republic as "journals of territorial administrative units". According to the press law the purpose of these journals is to deliver information about the self- governing unit while providing adequate space for presenting opinions and views of all ideological spectrum of the local council. These journals were recently criticized for being abused by the ruling political representation and being misused as a form of political PR rather than an independent news platform. My research is focused on their gradual professionalization that was recently encouraged by the changes in the Czech law. The research is based on a survey of editors of these journals. In the survey I investigated the background of the content production of these journals, various aspects of their organization, details about staff editors and their reflection on the topic, as well as control mechanisms that are set to ensure the statutory requirements of objectivity and impartiality. In addition to the survey, I also present a brief case study of the Hobulet magazine, published in the Prague 7 district, which is considered to be a progressive example of the genre. The...

Interspecific hybridization in birds: lessons for conservation
Štěpánková, Klára ; Reif, Jiří (advisor) ; Vokurková, Jana (referee)
Interspecific hybridization is quite common in recent years. Favorable factors are rarity of a species, limited time for partner selection, misdirected preference in mating partner selection of females, preference for males with more pronounced sexually selected traits, greater body size and habitat destruction. Factors which lead to the artificially interspecific hybridization due to habitat destruction include deforestation, fragmentation of the territory, urbanization, abandoning agricultural areas, as well as translocation of species into the regions where they did not originally occur. These species can later interbreed with the native species and if the latter are rare and the former aggressive, it can result in increased threat potentially leading to extinction of indigenous populations. Exceptionally, interbreeding can lead to the emergence of a new species; however, this type of origination of a new species is not common in animals. Hybridization is a natural phenomenon important for the evolution. Nevertheless, anthropogenically induced or assisted hybridization represents a serious problem for the species conservation. Finding a solution to overcome the negative impacts of such interspecific hybridization is difficult and there is no exact and universally applied methodology to date. Key...
