Preconcepts of number and basic arithmetic operations on primary school level
ZEMANOVÁ, Hana
ANNOTATION In this diploma thesis I study intuitive ways of students´ solution of mathematical problems before specific procedure of counting or concept is introduced in mathematical lessons. Elaborating the problem proceeded in three stages: (a) suitable set of problems were chosen, (b) individual testing (via individual interviews) of two groups of pupils aged 6 {--} 9 were realized, (c) individual interviews were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. On the basis of the analysis of the results I examined three following questions: A) Which protoquantitative schemas have children at the beginning of school attendance? B) Which way can be used in introducing new concepts in mathematics? C) How the results correspond with understanding the concept of basic arithmetical operations.

Evaluation of selected influences on performance of beef cattle
ZÍDKOVÁ, Jana
The aim of this Bachelor thesis was to compare meat breed cattle efficiency. For the comparison were chosen these breeds: Aberdeen Angus and Highland. Data about the breeds were finding on Branišov ecofarm and on Bořanovice ecofarm in the area of Šumava national park. Highland cattle breed - Scottish national cattle was imported to Czech Republic in 1991 from Scotland to mountain conditions of NP Šumava to Branišov farm. This breed is ranked among extensive meat breed of small constitutional type, it is also called ?hobby breed?. Aberdeen angus breed is ranked among most widespread meat breed in the world. It originates from North-East Scotland, where the meat performance cattle type was bred in early 18th century. Later it was crossbred with shorthorn breed. Aberdeen Angus is a breed of genetically hornless minor to medium body frame. At breeds the growth was valued by detection their live weight at birth, at the age of 120, 210 and 365 days. From detected data of suspense files basic statistic characteristics were evaluated (percent occurrence, arithmetic mean, minimum, maximum, standard deviation). The average weight of HI breed calves at birth was 25 kg at bullocks and 20 kg at heifers. In 365 days the average weight of bullocks reached 301 kg and 264 kg at heifers. The average weight of AA breed calves at birth was 37 kg (bullocks) and 34 kg (heifers). In 365 days the average weight of bullocks reached 485 kg and 365 kg at heifers. Further there were ranking of reproductive indices and maternal qualities of cows. From observed results was evaluated father influence, birth sequence and calve month sequence depending on calves? weight. Father influence on calves? growth at AA breed wasn?t statistically significant. The highest live weight in 120, 210 and 365 days had AA calves at third calving. At HI breed was influence of calving sequence on claves live weight statistically insignificant. The highest live weight (120, 210 days) had the calves born in august at AA breed (175, 64 kg or 275, 27 kg) and at HI breed (at the age of 210 days 183, 33 kg). In term of economics is this stock raising without grants unprofitable. With grants the gain on VDJ amounts 6876 CZK at AA breed and 10 186 CZK at HI breed. The results proved, that for provision of profitable stock raising BTMP would the Aberdeen Angus heifers be calved at first at the age of 24 months, it has to be assured good fertility of cows, high additions of calves and also high longevity of cows.

PHYSIOTHERAPY OF PREGNANCY AND PUERPERIUM
PITNEROVÁ, Alžběta
The bachelor thesis is focused on physiotherapy during the time of pregnancy and puerperium. Both pregnancy and birth have a significant influence on the expectant mother. During the nine months, woman undergoes a great amount of changes both from the physical and the mental side. This bachelor thesis deals foremost with changes that affect the physical side of the expectant mother. They include changes on genital organs, on cardiovascular, blood and respiratory system, gastrointestinal tract, skin and last but not least on the locomotory system. With exercise in gravidity, we try to influence these changes and, therefore, avoid any occurrence of eventual difficulties. Exercising during gravidity has not only a great importance to prevention but also to the preparation of an expectant mother to the delivery and for acceleration of return of the mother into the shape before conception. The expectant mother should be careful when choosing a suitable sport and she should always consult her attending gynaecologist. Recommended sports and methodologies include gravid yoga, pilates, belly dance, Moses method, exercise on a big ball, Alexander's technique, hydrokinesiotherapy and gynaecological gymnastics. The theoretical part includes a description of anatomy of genital organs and pelvis, creation of an individual, description of physical changes during pregnancy and puerperium and also characteristics and selection of individual suitable sport activities and methodologies. The goal of this bachelor thesis was to find such suitable physiotherapeutic procedures and methods, apply them to particular expectant mothers and verify their effects. For the practical part of research, the method of qualitative research and personal cases studies were used. Three pregnant women participated in the research. Therapy took place once per week for the period of several months. While having free conversation with the clients during the said period, I obtained the information I have incorporated into the individual casuistries. The therapy was completed by the final examination, which proved a positive effect of the exercise not only on the health conditions of expectant mothers, but also on their mental well-being, which was especially important for mothers.

Chemical burn of the respiratory and gastrointestinal tract in children
ŠVANCAROVÁ, Alena
The professional public have registered and increased incidence of injuries to children caused by chemical substances during the last years. The issue has recently been neither given appropriate publicity in media nor solved sufficiently, however, with respect to the high frequency and seriousness of injuries, it deserves to be given more significant attention. The research study focused on detailed mapping of the causes and circumstances of the occurrence of the respiratory and gastrointestinal tract injuries in children caused by chemical substances. The research sample comprised of children less than 18 years old who suffered injuries caused by a chemical substance in the monitored period, while being hospitalized in connection with such an injury at the Nemocnice České Budějovice, a. s., Nemocnice Most, o. z., and Fakultní nemocnice Motol, Prague, hospitals. The research study included 90 children (out of which 44 girls and 46 boys). The youngest hospitalized child was five months old, the oldest was seventeen. The required data were collected in a prospective manner (May 1, 2008 - October 31, 2008) and in a retrospective manner (January 1, 2006 {--} April 30, 2008). I obtained the research result though the secondary data analysis (medical documentation) and the analysis of products (those that where staded in the medical documentation to have been packed in an original package). The results of the secondary analysis of the medical documentation refer to the fact that 94 per cent of all the injuries caused by chemical substances were induced by children in their domestic environment. Damage to the organism was caused by agents commonly used in Czech households (waste pipe cleaners, dishwasher tablets, cooker cleaners, etc). It is understandable that packals of these products attract children's attention because producers have selected rich colours (yellow, blue, violet, pink) only for their products as a part of their fight-for-customers strategy. Many products have not been fitted with safety cap closures and in combination with unsuitable storing there was nothing left to prevent an injury. The appearance of new detergents, such as for example dishwasher tablets, on the market is accompanied with the risk of occurrence of new injury types that need to be drawn attention to. In my opinion, sufficient public healt educational campaigns should lead to the decreasing of the number of injuries. Information campaign should be organised in a manner addressing the highest possible number of parents and persons taking care of children. I consider efficient to place information leaflets on the websites of organisations and institutions working with children population, to use TV spots and to distribute information leaflets of brochures to paediatric surgeries and nursery schools. The leaflets should contain information not only about proper household storing of such products, but also several pieces of advice in the case when an injury has already been suffered.

The Application of the Virginia Henderson{\crq}s Model in Retirement Home Nursing Care.
KADEŘÁBKOVÁ, Věra
The Application of the Virginia Henderson{\crq}s Model in Retirement Home Nursing Care. Basic unit of the V. Henderson{\crq}s model is the clients{\crq} independence when satisfying their needs. The client is seen as an individual with the needs of assistance when trying to reach health, independence, and peaceful death. The lack of strength, will and knowledge are seen as the source of troubles. The needs the client is not able to satisfy and is in need of assistance are by V. Henderson called as the focus point intervention. The nurse assists to substitute, complete, support or increase the patient{\crq}s strength, will and knowledge. The outcome is the unaided performance in satisfying personal needs or peaceful death. The information about the needs is not documented in the uniform way and that is why every single ward and institution creates its own documentation system, according to its own specifics. The nursing documentation is always inseparable part of the nursing process. This model is determined by its specifics to be used appropriately in elderly people. The goal of this work was to find out all possibilities in using the Virginia Henderson{\crq}s model when caring of clients in the retirement home. There were placed three main questions of the research: 1.To what extents are satisfied the needs of client in the house for elderly people when using nursing documentation compiled according to V. Henderson? 2. Is there any influence of using V. Henderson{\crq}s model of nursing documentation on nursing practice in the retirement home? To what extent are nurses comfortable with the V. Henderson{\crq}s nursing documentation system? The collecting of data was done by the qualitative research investigation, the technique of the direct observation of nurses{\crq} caretaking of the clients, and by detailed interview with the nurses. The research had been done at Retirement Home at Strakonice from April to June 2009. There was created nursing documentation according to V. Henderson{\crq}s system. This documentation was filled out by a nurse and client and followed by searching for the needs of the client and their satisfaction. The nursing planned out specific care of a particular client using nursing process after filling out particular documentation. There has been led direct observation of caretaking provided under new nursing documentation. To assess the care, there was developed the point scale for evaluation of the client needs satisfaction (1-Satisfied, 2-Rather Satisfied, 3-Rather Unsatisfied,4-Unsatisfied). As a next we have been evaluating client{\crq}s level of strength, will and knowledge to be able to satisfy his/her needs (he/she is independent, partly independent, and dependent). The observation outcomes demonstrated that nurses were able to satisfy all of the 14 clients{\crq} needs in most. There were done case reports out of the observations and the results were processed into comprehensible charts. The nurses had been working with the nursery documentation for months followed by detailed interview aimed to inspect the usage of this documentation in nursing of elderly people. All of the five nurses agreed on the applicability of the documentation in nursing practice and that was why the documentation was modified under nurses{\crq} notes and has been applied in practice since. The research goal was accomplished. The nursing documentation has always been integral part of nurse{\crq}s work.It provides all needed information concerning the patient. It can be considered as the prove of ``lege artis{\crq}q practice of the work done. The documentation also serves as the record which is being used for health insurance billing.

SPECIFIC FEATURES OF PSYCHOANALYTICAL NEEDS OF PATIENTS AFTER MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.
MERUNKOVÁ, Michaela
The diseases of the vascular system are the most important cause of the death generally (up to 30% of the world-wide mortality). The myocardial infarction represents 13% of all the death cases due to cardiovascular illnesses. Men often suffer myocardial infarction already after 40th year of life, as for women, it appears after the climax. After the 60th year of age the myocardial infarction is equally frequent in case of both sexes. In the last years also the myocardial infarction in case of people younger than thirty-five years is not a rarity. In the bachelor{\crq}s thesis the method of quantitative research by the technique of questioning was applied. In the questionnaire, there are in total 30 questions. 17 of them were closed and 13 half-open. The questionnaires were distributed to patients of the cardio-surgical and cardiological ambulance of the Hospital in České Budějovice, a.s. during their first check after the myocardial infarction. In total 100 questionnaires were distributed and 86 questionnaires were applied for processing the data. The data collection was performed during January, February and March 2009. The thesis focused on specifics of the psychological and social needs of the patient after myocardial infarction. The target of the thesis was to find out where the patients after myocardial infarction look for social support (target 1). Determination of the most frequent problems of the patient after myocardial infarction (target 2). To find out moreover if the saturation of higher needs of patients after the surgical solution of myocardial infarction differs from that of the patients healed in a conservative way (target 3). Three hypotheses were determined based on these goals. First hypothesis: For the patients after myocardial infarction the most frequent support is their family. This hypothesis was confirmed by the research. The most respondents stated as the most important social support their wife or husband, other family members and last but not least a common-law husband or wife. Second hypothesis: The change of life style is among the most frequent problems of the patient after myocardial infarction. This hypothesis was confirmed by research. The change of the life style was stated by 56% of respondents as the most important problem. In spite of the sufficient education the patients have not enough motivation or firm will to change their hitherto life. Third hypothesis: The saturation of higher needs is achieved sooner in the group of patients healed in a conservative way than in the group of patients healed in a surgical way. It followed from the results of the research that the type of myocardial infarction healing may be reflected in the return of the patients into the normal life, however, it has no influence on the occurrence of the stress, fear, sadness and hopelessness after myocardial infarction. This hypothesis was refuted by the research. It follows from the results of the research that it would be suitable to continue the co-operation after the release for the home treatment. To help them to find a suitable way for the change of the lifestyle, to learn them to treat themselves carefully. To motivate for the co-operation not only them, but also their close surroundings, mainly the family. As the family is the most support for them and it could facilitate the deciding of patients in some items and to support them positively.

Influence of the Taoist Tai Chi practice on health of seniors
ŠMEJDOVÁ, Veronika
In this thesis, titled ?The Effect of Taoist Tai Chi on the Health of Senior Citizens?, I focused on the factors influencing the physical and mental welfare of seniors who practiced Chinese health exercises - Taoist tai chi. My observations lasted seven months; they took place once a week for 45 minutes. All the clients volunteered in the exercise activities. The research group consisted of the clients of the Home for Senior Citizens and the Home with Special Regimen in Kobylisy. The theoretical part provides the explanations of old age, dementia and its manifestations, the importance of exercise for seniors, and I also introduce the Taoist Tai Chi Society. The last section is devoted to Taoist movements and their effects on the human organism. The practical part describes the individual tai chi movements, the principles of practicing Taoist tai chi and I answer research questions. The objective of the thesis was to learn whether tai chi exercise affects in some way the physical condition of the facility?s clients and whether it is beneficial for these clients. To obtain the results, I chose a qualitative research. The methods and techniques of data collection are based on participating observation, interviews and data analysis. The research group consisted of the clients of the Home for Senior Citizens and the Home with Special Regimen in Kobylisy. I focused on the ways Taoist tai chi influenced the physical and mental welfare of the clients. Semi-controlled interviews were conducted with clients without dementia. The target group consisted of six clients without dementia syndrome, and 6 seniors with the disease. The total number of 30 clients participated in the exercises. The results were processed in the form of a case study. The research shows that the seniors experienced improvements in joint and muscle mobility and the exercises usually affected their mood in a positive way. Better coordination could not be fully demonstrated for all movements. Based on the information obtained and the research results reached, the thesis will be beneficial for the Taoist Tai Chi Society and the homes for senior citizens in Kobylisy. It may also serve to organizations concerned with the use of seniors? free time, social care facilities, as well as feedback to instructors and the institutions mentioned.

The Impact of Change of the Parental Allowance on Decision of Mothers.
MARKOVÁ, Eva
Abstract By the end of 2007 the parental allowance was so high that many beneficiaries, especially those without any or low qualifications, never received a similar income in their job, which obviously resulted in a situation that some parents found it financially disadvantageous to return back to work. The new system of maternity leave makes it possible to draw the parental allowance during a shorter period of time whereas the amount paid differs depending on the time during which it is received. The objective of the graduation work was to map out the situation regarding the drawing of the parental allowance and reasons for choosing various options. The following hypotheses were determined based on this objective. 1st: Women who have the employment contract for a limited period of time pick a shorter alternative of parental leave than women with a contract for an unlimited period of time. 2nd: Women with a higher income select a shorter parental leave than women with a lower income. To obtain the necessary data to fulfill the determined objectives, the author used the questionnaire technique. The questionnaire was anonymous, it was filled in by women who have recently delivered a baby and it comprised 12 questions. 159 questionnaires were distributed during two months in 2008. The determined hypotheses were confirmed by the research. The results showed that the most preferred period of parental leave is three years with an income of 7600 CZK. As a reason for choosing this option the respondents answered that their employer ``reserves`` a job for them for three years and they can devote all their time to the baby. They find the amount of the allowance satisfactory. Most of them indicated they were yet to decide whether they were going to earn extra money during the parental leave and they did not know what they would do. If mothers need to leave their baby, people from their families usually babysit. Most of them would not trust a nurse. It was mostly young women (18 {--} 25 years of age) who indicated that they would not mind a nurse looking after their child. Changes which occurred in the field of parental leave and parental allowance need to be accompanied with relevant changes in other fields related to combining work and family, such as pre-school facilities and nursing centres for children younger than three years of age and also more flexible working hours. Family and employee policy should pay more attention to programmes supporting return to the labour market after the parental leave.
