Nursing care by children with arthroscopy of the knee joint.
ŠESTÁKOVÁ, Růžena
With the increasing sports and physical activity pursued by young people, the spectrum of the knee joint injuries is extending. At the present time, arthroscopy represents one of the basic diagnostic and therapeutic methods in the case of the knee joint injuries. Owing to this method, the attending physician can examine the joint directly using the endoscopic instrument and they can possibly execute surgical treatment thereof as well. Thanks to development, this method can be applied in children's patients with ever increasing frequency. The joint subject to most frequent arthroscopy treatment is definitely the knee joint. The treatment is executed in the operating theatre, most often under anaesthesia and it is careful, quick and accurate. Nevertheless, the children's patient must be hospitalized, which means, in addition to the planned treatment, considerable mental stress not only for the child but for the whole family as well. The way how the child and the parents will cope with the situation depends to a great extent on the nursing personnel. Therefore it is necessary to pay increased attention to the nursing care. The theoretical part of the bachelor's thesis describes the anatomy of the knee joint, possible damage thereto and this theory is followed by the nursing care prior to and after arthroscopy, rehabilitation nursing care, satisfaction of needs, information provided to the children prior to leaving hospital. The application part of the thesis focuses on the children's patients who were hospitalized in the Dětská klinika Nemocnice České Budějovice a.s. (Children's Clinic of the Hospital of České Budějovice) and underwent arthroscopy of knee joint. The following part deals with the nurses working with these children. The thesis is based on a qualitative research and the acquired information was summarized in case reports and interviews. Three research questions were determined for the research part. The purpose of the bachelor's thesis is to discover the specifics concerning nursing care for children undergoing the knee joint arthroscopy. The discovered specifics, such as care for Redon drain, use of French crutches or motor splint, education of the children and their parents can help the nurse become aware of these specifics, not perform them automatically and achieve a higher quality of the nursing care provision. Identification thereof may help perform the right determination of nursing diagnoses, goals and interventions in the nursing process in the patient prior to and after arthroscopy of knee joint. Another goal of the thesis was to determine what negative factors are perceived by the children most frequently. The fact that we have discovered the specifics of the care and that we accentuate them may mitigate the negative factors perceived by the children as well. Among them there are fear, redressing relating to the Redon drain removal, pain. The acquired results of the bachelor's thesis were processed to have the form of a standard nursing plan, which should contribute to achieving a higher quality of the nursing care for children undergoing arthroscopy of knee joint.

Specifics of the japanese corporate environment and cooperation with the Czech Republic with examples sampled from companies
Kalátová, Veronika ; Zamykalová, Miroslava (advisor) ; Brychová, Vladimíra (referee)
Japanese economy is in the second place of the world chart of the developed countries. Its business is based on the tertiary sector. Its economic growth has been influenced mostly by exports, which highly exceeded imports. Nowadays Japan has become one of the victims of the world financial crisis as well, which will probably affect negatively its up to now well-balanced economic conditions. Japan has cooperated with the Czech Republic since 1957 (after several years without communication). Their mutual relationships have been developing well and the business cooperation is one of the most important in the central Europe. While negotiating with Japanese it is necessary to pay a great attention to the cultural differences between European and Asian culture.

Specifics of nursing care for elderly pacients after orthopedic surgery at the ICU in the faculty hospital Na Bulovce
ŠVECOVÁ, Markéta
Seniors are the group of patients most frequently occurring at the workplace of the author of this thesis, the ICU department of the Orthopaedic Clinic of Bulovka Faculty Hospital. Nursing care of seniors has its specifics mostly resulting from higher demands of aging organism. Despite the intensive efforts to provide the largest group of patients with quality care made at the workplace there is always something to improve. The main goal of the thesis thus was to find an answer to the question what could be improved on the quality of nursing care of patients after an orthopaedic intervention. Qualitative research in the form of a non-standardized interview was applied to collection of the necessary information on the present state of the issue. The research was conducted at the Orthopaedic Clinic of Bulovka Faculty Hospital. The research sample consisted of nurses working at the department and senior patients hospitalized there after orthopaedic interventions. There are several conclusions resulting definitely from the research. The nurses are sufficiently informed on the issues of nursing care of seniors after orthopaedic interventions and have sufficient possibilities of providing quality care. The factors negatively affecting the care being provided particularly involve obsolete technical background of the ICU and unsatisfactory constructional arrangement of the theatre. The solution of the problems is however closely linked to the lack of funds. As for staffing there is a problem of a large number of insufficiently qualified nurses compared to those meeting the qualification requirements. The conclusion of the research has provided an answer to the question what the spheres of improvement of the quality of nursing care of patients after an orthopaedic intervention were. According to the conclusions of the interviews with nurses and patients these are particularly better information of patients and investment in gradual improvement of material and technical base of the ICU, which would provide the patients with sufficient privacy, and make their exacting stay at the ICU easier. The problems of patient information might be solved by distribution of informational brochures defining patient?s rights and obligations, including the basic data of the department regime and instructions where to find answers to frequent questions.

Lilliputians.Representations of the bodily "difference" in the Prague's freakshow culture 1820-1940
Herza, Filip ; Storchová, Lucie (advisor) ; Kolářová, Kateřina (referee)
In the following essay, I focus on the representations of bodily "difference" in the Prague's freakshow culture, particulary on the displays of the so called "Lilliputians", which were popular among the public from the beginning of the 19th Century to the 40's of the 20th Century. Firstly, I introduce the Prague's curiosity exhibitions as a specific social praxis and I compare them with similar displays in Europe and the United States. In the second part of this essay, I try to analyse those exhibitions critically, using the concepts from the present disability studies discourse. I deal with the bodily "otherness" as a category of difference, which arises from the intersection of different ideologies. According to the point of view, this category shaped the individual and collective identities and fostered the social hierarchies of the time. Throughout the essay, I focus on the dis/continuities in the imagination of bodily "difference" and I try to describe the specificity of the Czech freakshow tradition. Key words: 19th Century, body, representations, bodily difference, abnormality, ideology
