Problems of the Expert Analysis of the Vehicle Movement and Braking Action in General Spatial Curve at Speed Higher than 50 km/h
Panáček, Vladimír ; Šachl, Jindřich (referee) ; Drahotský, Ivo (referee) ; Vémola, Aleš (advisor)
The present apparatus for the technical analysis of road accidents has no well-integrated information, recommendations or procedures of how to solve comprehensively the analysis of road accidents involving vehicles equipped with stabilization system of driving dynamics. The problem in the investigation of a vehicle movement in a curve is the ignorance of the contributions of vehicle dynamics intervention of the electronic stability system. Although some of the simulation software used in the analysis of road accidents makes it possible to take into account the modelled vehicle movement impacted by a stabilization system in the examined process, but the experts do not know what parameters should be entered in the numerical models of stabilization system in a computer programme. Therefore, the thesis investigates the issue of the expert analysis of vehicle riding and braking in a general spatial curve at speeds exceeding 50 kph with simultaneous examining the impact of electronic stability system chassis on vehicle driving dynamics. The thesis first deals with the solutions based on classical analytical methods, then dwells on experimental measurements in real conditions on testing grounds and, finally, addresses the use of computer simulation software in expert practice. Nevertheless, it is important to realize that no computer simulation software can be an absolutely unambiguous solver, and it is not enough to generate a computer simulation, but so obtained results should be evaluated and justified technically. Road accident analyst needs to know the impact of vehicle electronic stability control systems on vehicle movement. The thesis investigated the mutual relationship between the vehicle speed limit in a curve specified by analytical calculation and the vehicle speed in a curve experimentally detected by measuring the parameters of driving dynamics of a vehicle equipped with electronic stability system. The impact of selected electronic stability control systems of the chassis on the vehicle movement in the investigated processes in the curve was detected and quantified by driving experiments. Finally, the input values of significant quantities of computational models of the ESP simulation programs were found consistent with the results of experimental measurements in defined curves for the vehicles equipped with electronic stability systems. The results of the thesis can be used both in the expert and in the teaching activities.

Nutrition consulting in the 21st century
ROSOVÁ, Monika
The topic of this bachelor thesis comprehensively summarizes the field of dietary advice in the 21st century. The topic focuses on a general description of nutritional counseling services, diseases which people come to counseling offices with, and general nutritional status as the specialization, today and in the past.Nutritional counseling offices are now very demanded and the demand for them is still increasing. That is why it is so necessary to pay attention when choosing and comparing the ratio of quality and price of services of individual counseling offices.The thesis is divided into two parts. The theoretical part describes general concepts such as healthy lifestyle or health. This part is devoted to the history of nutrition among other things, the issue of overweight and obesity, and to the knowledge about nutritional counseling. The thesis defines nutritional counseling and also the distinction between a nutritional counselor and nutritionist is mentioned. Other chapters are concentrated on the personality of a nutrition consultant and on the ethics, which is required, in this field. This paper has a goal to explore nutritional counseling and its services. There were four research questions stated. They were determined separately for advisory clients, and for nutrition counselors. We were analyzing what attitudes the advisors and clients have on the current status and quality of services provided by nutritional counselors. The questions are as follows: 1.How the clients are satisfied with the quality of services in nutrition counseling? 2.Is nutritional counseling financially accessible? 3.Do the clients follow the recommendation? 4.How a nutritionist feel about competition with other dietary advisers? In the practical part there is the main research realized. The research was conducted by a qualitative method using semi-structured interviews with respondents. The research group consisted of nutritional advisors and former clients of nutritional offices. In total, 14 interviews were conducted of which 7 clients and 7 counselors were approached. Trough the research questions I examined the satisfaction with the service quality of nutritional counseling and clients´ opinions about the affordability of the services. When asking the counselors, I was exploring how the clients follow the recommendations given and how does a counselor feel about the other counselors. The interviews with respondents were transcribed and then coded and categorized using the method of paper and pencil. From the research I have done, it can be concluded that the clients are satisfied with the quality of counseling services and also with the attitude of a nutrition counselor. When searching for an appropriate counseling office, the clients followed the experience of their acquaintances or reviews on the internet. By their opinions, the financial affordability is equal to the quality provided. In some cases, clients even did not find the affordability important. The results regarding nutritional counselors point to their range of services. Clients are primarily interested in weight reduction. By the words of consultants: "Most customers are satisfied with their approach if they complete the program". Consultants say that a third to a half of all clients fail to complete the program. This indicates that the clients did not follow the recommendations. The question of competition is very delicate, especially for smaller clinics. This is mainly caused by the lack of awareness and promotion. As I addressed differently sized clinics, the answers varied. Yet the advisors in the city of České Budějovice think there is no competition for them, nor any tends which would indicate that there is good competition.As a conclusion I would like to add that the clients are fully aware of the necessity to explore the quality of services, the education which the counselors have and the complexity of their services, when choosing a nutritional counselor.

Jančová, Jaroslava ; Vodáčková, Daniela (advisor) ; Kodymová, Pavla (referee)
This study deals with social-activating programs for seniors. It tries to answer the question how seniors evaluate social-activating programs in Klub REMEDIUM. The main task is then to find reviews of the social services provided at Klub REMEDIUM its visitors and draw cocnclusions along with a concept of posible improvement of service delivery. As a target then I'm also interested in the contribution that seniors are seeing from the use of these services. To achieve the goals I have used a quantitative method of data collection survey, which I also completed by the qualitative method of personal interviews and my own observation for deeper understanding of the topic. I have found that seniors evaluate these programs strongly positive. But I also encountered the problem areas that have become an incentive to improve service delivery.
