KRATOCHVÍLOVÁ, Lenka
BACKGROUND:The aim of this thesis is to monitor from a professional point of view the area of health, healthy lifestyle, circadian rhythms, eating habits and free time activities in teenagers of today. Main focus is put on the sleeping regime which has enormous effect on behaviour and health of individuals and is closely connected to other biological rhythms. OBJECTIVE: The thesis aims to compare students at two different types of school, to give guidance in the area of health education during the process of form-filling as well as contribute to the formation of the students with regard to health, mental, physical and social sphere. Another purpose of this thesis is also to monitor health habits of this age group and possibly those of their families. METHOD: The method applied for the research was a set of questionnaires. Total number of respondents was 40 students of a comprehensive school and 40 students of a specialized vocational school in the age span between 15 to 17 years of age. Presentation of the study field "Health education" was given due to the students´ interest and space was given to their questions. Health education exists and is practically implemented in both types of schools. RESULT: Comparation between the two schools proved there are significant differences in sleeping regimes, eating or spending free time. Also it has been proven that most respondents suffer from lack of sleep and tend to shift sleep to later hours. CONCLUSION: Students were found to have serious violations of healthy habits including sleeping and eating. More emphasis should be put on teaching young people about the importance of adjustment to circadian rhytms and explanation how they would benefit from adhering to the natural rhytms.

Business Cycle and Traffic Fatalities
Hátle, Lukáš ; Houdek, Petr (advisor) ; Jaklín, Jiří (referee)
The paper tests the hypothesis regarding the assumed relation between economic cycle and mortality caused by road traffic accidents. The analysis has been done using fixed effect regression method on panel data collected in 20 EU member countries between years 1995-2008. The results (with a limited significance) may show that one percentage point decrease of the unemployment rate results in a one percentage increase in the road traffic mortality rate. The effect is caused by the increased traffic intensity as well as by changes in the drivers' behaviour that accompany the economic growth (e.g. higher consumption of alcoholic beverages). The results hint further that the strength of the relation differs for various age categories. The strongest relation between the economic cycle and the mortality was found for the young generation, 15-29 years of age. In this age group, one percentage point decrease in the unemployment rate means 1.77% increase in the road traffic mortality rate.

Slep laboratory from the perspective of the patient and of nurses
MACHOVÁ, Adéla
Abstrakt The topic of the thesis is called ?The sleep laboratory from the patient´s point of view and the nurse´s role?. A sleep laboratory is a medical facility which is adjusted to sleep disorders diagnosis. The aim of the thesis was to determine the level of patients´ awareness when coming to the sleep laboratory. We want to find out to which extend the examinations are uncomfortable for clients. The last goal of the thesis is aimed at nurses and deals with their overall role as for the clients´ care in the sleep laboratory. The thesis comprises the theoretical and research parts. The theoretical part consists mainly of the expert text, whose aim is to describe sleep, its disorders as well as individual disorder examinations. These notions and definitions are crucial for understanding the existence and significance of the sleep laboratory. The research part focuses mainly on clients of the sleep laboratpory of the Neurophysical laboratory in the lower part of the České Budějovice Hospital, Corp., but also on nurses who carry out the nursing treratment there. The research was performed through the qualitative examination using interviews. 7 clients and 7 nurses were questioned. Casuistry was created from the answered questions for a better review. The research was carried out in the period from February to April 2011. The interviews with clients were held always after the examination so that they were able to assess their stay in the sleep laboratory on the whole. All interviews are anonymous. It can be conlcuded from the research part that a sleep laboratory was an unknown notion for the clients before the suspicion of sleep disorders arose. Mostly they are informed about this facility by a doctor who recommends the visit to the sleep laboratory. According to research outcomes, the majority of clients regard the examination in the sleep laboratory as very uncomfortlable. The nurses´ role is described in individual casuistries. There is an important finding that a full-value care and the right education of the clients in these facilities depends fully on the nurse´s knowledge. However, nurses´ knowldege in this branch is not always sufficient. In this case, the theoretical part of the thesis can serve as an educational material for both nurses and patients, who this topic concerns.
