Priorites of nurses and postpartum women in education.
LUDAŠOVÁ, Tereza
Education in nursing is very important, especially after childbirth when woman is exposed to a whole new point of her life. Midwife should be supportive, be able to provide advices and help new mother needs. The theoretical part of my work is dedicated to definitions in education, its concept and learning. Most of my theoretical part focuses on puerperium period, further divided into physiological, pathological and late. In physiological puerperium period are discussed involutional changes mainly and changes of body overall. Physiological puerperium also contains a chapter of lactation and breastfeeding, which are briefly described in two separare sections. Another chapter is pathological puerperium which describes the most frequent problems mothers can experience after childbirth, like bleeding, infection, vascular complications, emotional changes, lactations disorders and breast diseases. The further topics are dedicated to the newborn. The practical research part focuses on finding the most important areas of education from the perspective of mothers and nurses and compares their priorities. The survey was carried out using a quantitative survey, data collection was conducted in six hospitals of the South Bohemian region through anonymous questionnaires. All of them were distributed separately to postpartum/puerperium women and separately to nurses. The research sample consisted 100 (100%) of mothers after childbirth and 100 (100%) of nurses. All the results of the survey were processed using graphs and tables. Hypotheses were verified by statistical Chi-squared test in Microsoft excel. To assess whether the differencce observed and expected frequencies is statistically significant was achieved by using calculating level of statistical significance ie. p-value using functions CHITEST. P-values were converted to percentages and compared with a significance level of 5 %. The aim of the thesis was to identify the most important areas of education from the perspective of midwives, nurses and postpartum women. Another objective was to set out to determine the differences in priorities of education for women after childbirth, midwives and pediatric nurses. Hypothesis 1 There are differences in priorities of education among mothers after childbirth and midwives. This hypothesis was confirmed. Midwive´s priority is hygiene and postpartum mother´s priority is newborn nutrition. Hypothesis 2There are differences in prioritiesof education among mothers after childbirth and pediatric nurses.This hypothesis was not confirmed. The priority of both mothers after childbirth and pediatric nurses is newborn nutrition. Hypothesis 3Priority of education of mothers after childbirth varies depending on previous experience with motherhood. This hypothesis was confirmed. The priority of 63% of all primiparas is newborn nutrition and knowing how to breastfeed. The other mother´s priorities are in 18% newborn manipulation and in 12% self- hygiene. Hypothesis 4Priorities of education of midwives varies depending on the lenght of experience. This hypothesis was confirmed. The priority of midwives working in the postpartum department between 0-10 years is hygiene in 66%. The priority of midwives working in the postpartum department for longer than 11 years is in 14% nutrition. Hypothesis 5Priorities of education of pediatric nurses varies depending on the lenght of experience. This hypothesis was confirmed. The priority of pediatric nurses with 0-10 years of experience is newborn safety in 32%. The priority of nurses with more than 11 years of experience is newborn nutrition in 22%. The results of this thesis can serve as material for midwives such as recommendations for improving the education of mothers after childbirth. Or can be served as an educational material to mothers. Findings of the research can be presented as seminars and scientific conferences of midwives and pediatric nurses.

Analyze of imiges from the movie Nocturnal Butterfly
Park, Soyoung ; KUBÍČEK, Jiří (advisor) ; DUTKA, Edgar (referee)
Abstract "Nocturnal Butterfly" is short animation film which is directed by Raoul Servais. This animation is Servais's homage to Belgian surrealist Paul Delvaux. This paper concerns comparative analysis between the images of Nocturnal Butterfly about male and female, butterfly, mirror, railway station, automaton, last freeze-frame, and motifs of Delvaux's painting. At first, my research at overall characteristic of surrealism would show that Delvaux's painting shares such characteristic. André Breton who is a key man in surrealism believed that automatism is driving force for artistic creation, so he thought we must look into the unconscious and world of dream to create new aesthetic reality and to comprehend reality just as it is without prejudice caused by reason and rationality. Especially he tried for liberation of the consciousness through automatic drawing, collage and depaysement in surrealistic painting. Delvaux with Magritte used depaysement to give psychological shock to appreciator, so he used mythology as motifs to draw inner landscape unfamiliarly and mysteriously. And though idealized images of women he expressed own desire. After, I would review other works of Raoul Servais. He has expressed own view in various ways by using new approach for each work. Through criticism at human civilization and mythicism of desire he has utopian attitude even though he has criticized absurdity of actuality circumstance. Nocturnal Butterfly has atmosphere fascinating and mysterious but unfamiliar than clear messages. It seems that the atmosphere of the work considerably results from images taken from Delvaux's painting. And Nocturnal Butterfly shows ambiguous and unfamiliar feeling of surrealism using shooting mode of live action films and photographic images. Next, I would review images in Nocturnal Butterfly. Delvaux expressed idealized images of male and female as his central figure motives, but Raoul Servais expressed images of male and female as earthly images in Nocturnal Butterfly. Woman with movement in Nocturnal Butterfly is waiting someone and reacting to eyes from man rather than she is idealized being. But She is also mysterious being. She is dancing with another self appeared from mirror as her double, in fantastic and fascinating time. But when train in reality arrives and a man appears, the time is over. The man wearing a hat in Nocturnal Butterfly is like Delvaux?s self-image mixed with scientist and gentleman. The man watches the object of desire, and possesses the object. Delvaux?s painting as last scene in Nocturnal Butterfly seems to be index of photograph image displayed from both surrealism and movie. So it informs that this animation is not over but continues to a piece of reality. The result of analysis of the images in Nocturnal Butterfly shows that Nocturnal Butterfly is the most fascinating and mysterious new animation with weakened completion of narration unlike other works of Raoul Servais.

Feminism in Selected Novels by Toni Morrison and Alice Walker
Chýlková, Jana ; Veselá, Pavla (advisor) ; Robbins, David Lee (referee)
The specific works analyzed in this thesis will be Sula and Beloved by Toni Morrison, and The Color Purple by Alice Walker. I have chosen these novels for their significance in the African-American literary canon, and for qualities that were assessed over time. While the choice of the novels Beloved and The Color Purple is justified by The Pulitzer Prize, Sula - which is, among other things, a novel depicting the moral and physical decline of the main heroine - was selected to contrast with Walker's bildungsroman. However, the central theme of these novels that will be explored is a black woman and her questionable representation in literature. In their novels, Morrison and Walker find diverse solutions to the problematic nature of the place of black women in a patriarchal society. Nevertheless, the selected fiction will be explored separately in terms of the feminist/womanist aspects of Morrison's and Walker's works. The Conclusion will focus on a comparison of the selected works by Toni Morrison and Alice Walker. Thus, attention will be paid to the significant themes displayed in the novels such as racism and the limitations of gender roles. The objective of this analysis will be to find some common themes displayed in the authors' fiction that connect their understanding of the world, such as issues of...

Early short stories and novellas by woman writer Can Xue
Reismüller, František ; Andrš, Dušan (advisor) ; Lomová, Olga (referee)
The thesis deals with early short stories and novellas by Chinese woman writer Can Xue. The first part of the thesis presents the work of Can Xue in the context of author's life and focuses on finding motifs associated with her life experiences. The second part outlines historical development of Chinese literature in the 80s of the 20th century, observes position of Can Xue in the "avant-garde literature", and describes the writers literary sources of inspiration and authors own view on literary-historical context of her works. The third part is based on the analysis of specific stories. In the context of what other critics have discussed the thesis determines two main approaches to the interpretation of Can Xues work - the political and the psychological. The thesis concludes that there is a significant element of personal experience in Can Xues works. It should not, however, be considered a dominant element, as it mainly serves as means of examining general aspects of human psyche. The introspective nature of Can Xues works is also the key reason why this thesis puts the psychological interpretation of her works above the political interpretation.

Church Music of Johann Sebastian Bach
Staňková, Eva ; Tvrdek, Petr (advisor) ; Špačková, Alena (referee)
Annotation: Málková, Eva. Church Music of Johann Sebastian Bach. Prague: Hussite Theological Faculty, Charles University, 2012. Thesis. The aim of this thesis is to introduce church music of Johann Sebastian Bach and its theological announcement. By looking up and appraising musical-theological elements at Bach's work this thesis brings near to the reader the theological, philosophical and mystic thinking of Bach. By pre-understanding and complexity of perception of Bach's church music is possible to see deep sense and aim of artist's work. In the first (theoretical) part I am engaged in systems of thinking that could Bach's church work influence. Then I am specifying the pieces that are supposed to be church music. In the second (practical) part I am looking for musical- theological elements that could Bach be influenced with. By researching of Bach's artistic style I am trying to find correlation of musical and theological contents and I am trying to point out that the message of Bach's church work is relevant.

The motif "Lucifer" in the novel Lucifer by Connie Palmen
Zikmundová, Markéta ; Sedláčková, Lucie (referee) ; Krol, Ellen Jacoba (advisor)
My final thesis The motif of 'Lucifer' in the novel Lucifer by Connie Palmen discusses two important Dutch literary works: the tragedy Lucifer by Joost van den Vondel (1654) and the novel Lucifer by Connie Palmen (2007). Vondel's tragedy is inspired by the Book of Genesis. According to some particular interpretations of the Bible the angel Lucifer organised a rebellion against God after hearing about creation of mankind. He considered humans as a threat for both heaven and the angels living in there. He believed that through the birth of humans the given order in heaven could have been disturbed. This fatal mistake led to a division of the angels and resulted in an immense battle in which Lucifer and his followers were defeated. As a result Lucifer was expelled from heaven. As revenge he managed to manipulate Eve in the Eden into eating the forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. The main character of this famous tragedy, Lucifer, inspired Connie Palmen to write a novel with a structure of a classical, Aristotle tragedy. She was also inspired by many Dutch celebrities and important events starting in the sixties, at latest in the nineties in Amsterdam. Her novel is therefore not only a great thriller and detective story (the wife of the main character perished under mysterious...

Space in the novels on the border between cultures: Ciro Alegría, Gabriel Casaccia and Edgardo Rivera Martínez
Schůtová, Markéta ; Housková, Anna (advisor) ; Sánchez Fernández, Juan Antonio (referee)
First, we focused on defining the notion of space, place, no-place (in utopia and in the concept of Marc Augé) from the philosophical and anthropological points of view. Some of these notions get also reflected in the theory of literary space. The topic of the presented work concerns the relationship between a subject and its space, especially the concept of belonging to place in three Hispano-American novels: El mundo es ancho y ajeno (Broad and Alian is the World), La Babosa ( The Gossiping Woman) and País de Jauja (Country of Jauja). The first piece written by Ciro Alegría depicts Rumi as an idyllic place which meets the notion of an anthropological place. The second one represents an antithesis of an idyllic happy place. Also the relationship between the characters and their space has a different form. In the view of Fernando Aínsa, these two pieces depict the duality of Hispano-American identity reflected in the literature as a conflict between civilization and barbarism, the city and the country. Nevertheless, there is also another possibility proposed by Edgardo Rivera Martínez in his País de Jauja. Instead of a conflict between the Western and Andean worlds, it portrays their harmonic coexistence. The belonging to place is presented mainly on the cultural level. It seems that Jauja could represent...
