Internet Lifestyle. What Has Internet Given to Us and What Has Internet Taken from Us?
LIŠKOVÁ, Radka
The thesis deals with the phenomenon of the internet lifestyle. Theoretical volume of the work describes the lifestyle, all the psychological aspects of usage of the Internet. The advantages and disadvantages involved in using the Internet and statistical data regarding the usage of the Internet. The main aim of the thesis is to try to recognize inner experiences of the internet users and to understand this specific inner world. The questionnaire was done to map favourite activities used on the Internet. What motivates the Internet users and all the experiences connected with the Internet. How much are the users aware of the risks inflicted by the Internet. How it can influence the life and the relationship of respondents and the impact on their life throughout their life. To gather the data, for this survey, was applied the qualitative research method and the phenomenological access. The methodology triangulation techniques were emphasised. Among the respondents who were asked, were students of the South Bohemian University in České Budějovice. Two techniques were chosen which one of them was structured interview with open questions (2 interviews performed on 10 respondents) and a questionnaire with open questions (20 anonymous questionnaires). This was applied on chat servers. The result for this research shows that using the Internet is mainly the need to communicate and to gain information. Among the respondents? favourite activities were for example watching sitcoms or searching information. The emotions which users feel depend on the activity which they do. The positive ones are dominate to negative ones, but the frequency contradicts with the living emotions. The biggest influence of the Internet on respondents? life is to get information easily, simplified communication and the possibility to meet new people. The relationship which the respondents have towards the Internet is mostly stable. The biggest risk the respondents consider is using the Internet by small children, sharing which result in misuse of data, arranging meeting with strangers, above all on the ground of numerous occurrences of sexual aggressors etc. The cultural activities and prevention of the usage and all risks concerning the Internet should be more pursued in the future. In the short conclusion of the philosophical survey the question:"What we gain and lose because of the Internet?" The Internet provided us with the easy access to information, new ways how to meet other people, the knowledge, entertainment, etc. On the other hand it deprives us from spending free time, personal get - togetherness, motivation and loosing the childhood.

Pragmatism and humanism in nursing
HAUSEROVÁ, Ester
?Pragmatism and Humanism in Nursing?; it is the key subject of this thesis. It is trying to analyse both philosophical trends reflecting current situation of nursing. The academic part deals with philosophy such as humanism and pragmatism, followed by phenomenology and ethics. The following part refers to assisting careers, nursing, its history and philosophy, and the nursing rights. The final issue of this academic part is dedicated to the nurse chores, difficult tasks, burnout syndrome and hygiene of mind. The empiric part is aimed at receiving and processing of information through quality and quantity research. All respondents were general nurses and nursing students. The main focus of this thesis was to find the balance scale between nursing pragmatism and humanism and view the opinion of nurse while bringing those philosophical opinions into practice. Regarding to the results of this thesis it is obvious that there is a space for both of these philosophical trends though it is not particularly easy to mark which of these trends may currently prevail. At the same time there is not a clear opinion of participating nurses about bringing these trends into use. It proves that the exploitation of humanism and pragmatism elements is quite individual regarding the time and circumstances. Hypothesis and questions of research are evaluated within the final chapters. The results of this thesis reflect the constant problems which are generally recognised by both the nurses and the students of the nursing. Among the main problems of nurses are too much work and the lack of time. The last part of this thesis contains the attachments, which are related to the empiric part (such as questionnaires and question topics) and they present an idea of thematic supervisory plan, which would be aimed at solving the current problematic situation of a nursing practice.

Identification and characterization of newly found antimicrobial peptide (IRAMP) from hard tick \kur{Ixodes ricinus}
OUŘEDNÍKOVÁ, Lucie
Antimicrobial proteins (AMPs) are effector molecules and an important part of the innate immune system. AMPs have a broad antimicrobial spectrum and lyse microbial cells by interaction with biomembranes. Besides direct impact in host defence, AMPs are mediators of inflammation with impact on epithelial and inflammatory cells influencing diverse processes such as cytokine release, cell proliferation, angiogenesis, wound healing, chemotaxis, immune induction, and protease-antiprotease balance. AMPs could replace antibiotics which efficiency has decreased due to extensive clinical use. Therefore knowledge of mechanism of action of antimicrobial peptides, their properties and possible usage is essential for their further use as therapeutics. Ticks are blood-feeding ectoparisites that serve as extremely effective vectors of pathogens. Analysis of the ticks molecules that are involved in immune response to the pathogens invasion represent one of the strategies in searching for new compounds that might be used in future as theurapeutic agents. This study represents analysis of newly identified antimicrobial peptide form in the hard tick Ixodes ricinus (IRAMP). IRAMP revealed the high similarity to the recently described antimicrobial peptide isolated from hard tick Ixodes scapularis (protein ISAMP). Analysis and characterization of novel AMP, testing its antimicrobial potential and expression pattern are the main objectives of this study

Dynamický Balanced Scorecard v učící se organizaci
Leciánová, Gabriela ; Uhrová, Inka (advisor) ; Dedouchová, Marcela (referee) ; Nováček, Jan (referee) ; Nováček, Jan (referee)
The main goal and intended contribution of the presented doctoral dissertation is to define the most important principles for the usage of the Dynamic Balanced Scorecard (DBSC) as a practical guide for learning organization. The Dynamic Balanced Scorecard is based on the fundamental idea that the conventional (static) Balanced Scorecard (BSC) is not able to encompass the contemporary dynamic environment and hence is not an appropriate tool for any strategic management system. At the beginning of the dissertation, the thesis is dedicated to description of the BSC limitations. Moving further, the thesis establishes a practical guide described in three stages: ? the main principles of DBSC, ? the methodology of implementing DBSC, ? the working model. The model was developed in a real company and is now being used in pilot operation. Furthermore the model contains measurements that help demonstrate the transformation from a traditional organization to a learning organization. I did not find, based on questionnaires collected from 110 companies and my experience in a consulting company, any examples of DBSC being currently used in the Czech Republic. The original hypothesis about non-use of any dynamic model for strategic management system was confirmed in the empirical part of the dissertation.
