Doležalová, Eva ; Sládková, Petra (advisor) ; Oborná, Pavlína (referee)
OF BACHELOR THESIS: Author's first name and surname: Eva Doležalová Bachelor thesis supervizor: MUDr. Bc. Petra Sládková Bachelor thesis consultant: Mgr. Štěpánka Kozlerová Oponent: Title of bachelor thesis: Application of inertial sensors in physiotherapy Key words: inertial sensors, fyzioterapie, accelerometr, gyroskop, functional independence measures, neurorehabilitation Abstract: Inertial sensors are devices that allow monitoring of the movement. They are used also in physiotherapy, where they are applied to analyze walking and to detect falls. My bachelor thesis is focused on the possibility of using inertial sensors for monitoring patients affected by upper extremity. The theoretical part contains an outline of chosen foreign studies that deal with this issue. The second part is about theoretical neurorehabilitation, which is an important part of treatment for patients after brain damage. The practical part is processed in the form of quantitative research. The aim was to obtain and correlate the values obtained before and after the rehabilitation process. It was a total daily activity of upper limbs, which was measured by inertial sensors and the results of functional independence measures (FIM).

Old age as a social event
PAVLIŠOVÁ, Ludmila
Abstract Old age as a social event The Old Age is a natural period of life. This period brings wisdom, insight, sense of fulfillment, but physical, mental and social changes occur at the same time. A retirement is a fundamental change in this period. How do these changes actually affect the senior life? Some individuals are not ready for these changes and they do not know what to do, how to cope with their Old Age. And therefore it is a very important thing not to underestimate the retirement preparation process. Attitudes of the majority population to the seniors are among others influenced also by the media which constitute key factors in the society involved in a social construction of the reality and in a socialization of all generations. The population ageing has an impact not only to intergenerational relationships but also to a subjective experience of the Old Age. The senior issues cannot be only reduced to the issue of the pension reform but there will be necessary to deal with the status of a senior in the society, the recognition of a senior contribution, questions of the their upbringing and education, a media presentation of the senior issues, an adaptation of services to the needs of the seniors, to the senior fashion, transportation, environment... The aim of my bachelor thesis was to acquaint with particular consequences of the retirement (coping with the retirement, positive and negative aspects of a pension, a health state and plans of seniors for the future). In the course of my work I respected a personality of each person and his or her attitude to the life. My research aim was to find out whether seniors perceive their retirement as a social event in the meaning of a change in their social status. The partial aim was to characterize factors that most influence the perception of the Old Age. I think that the aims were met. I chose a qualitative form of the research using a narrative dialogue method and an inquiry. The research sample consisted of seniors older than sixty five years who are retired and live in the region of Tábor. Results of my thesis show that the retirement preparation and adaption process is very important. In order to get to a gradual change of the lifestyle, a transitional phase between the unemployment and the retirement is necessary. Seniors need to familiarize with a new situation and how to cope with it. The senior economic situation is getting worse with the retirement as well. It is obvious that senior living standard has got its own social significance and that indicates, in a certain way, their social status. The results of the conducted research show that seniors perceive their position in the society negatively and they consider their retirement as a social event with a meaning of a change in their social status. A declaration of the above mentioned European Year for Active Ageing and Intergenerational Solidarity is therefore considered to be a useful step in the process of the coping with consequences of demographic changes in the Czech Republic. The theme concerning seniors is currently very timely, because with the demographic development the number of seniors is still increasing not only in the Czech Republic but also in the whole Europe. The society warns about an inappropriate behavior of younger generation towards seniors. Therefore I believe that my thesis will serve to a creation of a more comprehensive picture of the Old Age from the perspective of the seniors.

Undesirable effects in nursing care
MARKOVÁ, Ladislava
Adverse events in nursing care are currently much discussed topic. In providing of nursing care we meet with some kind of adverse events every day. But not always we come to realize that it is an adverse event. The number of adverse events grows up every year and this topic becomes more current. The target of this bachelor thesis titled Adverse events in nursing care was to obtain enough information about the discussed topic of adverse events. Practical part of bachelor thesis was prepared by form of quantitative research carried out by using questionnaire survey. Based in the results from questionnaire survey were confirmed or unconfirmed given hypotheses. Ascertained results were summarized in the graphs of which analysis confirmed the hypothesis no.2 The average age of clients who suffer most with the adverse events is from 65 to 75 years. Hypothesis no. 3 The most common adverse events are falls. Hypothesis no. 4 The most commonly used methods of prevention are barriers and warning devices. Hypothesis no. 5 Adverse events occurring more in internal wards. Hypothesis no. 1 The frequency of adverse events increased in 2011, compared to other years based on the processed research results, was not confirmed. As emerged from the research, to the topic of adverse events is not attached such seriousness as it should and sometimes are adverse events underestimated by medical staff. The results of the research will be presented and consulted with the hospital´s main nurse, who could works with it within the meaning of the organizing various seminars, information meetings with my contribution and participation.

Manager´s personality development and human resources management
KOREŠOVÁ, Pavla
The aim of this thesis is to explore new approaches and perspectivities on manager´s personality development and manager´s personality in contemporary human resources management. In the theoretical part of this thesis were summarized issues of human resources management, knowledge management, manager´s personality and its development. The selected research methodology was a questionnaire survey. The research was focused on the forces that determine the manager´s personality and his own opinions and preferences. The questionnaire was filled in by a total of 73 respondents. In consideration came the division into four categories depending on where company executives are found. These categories were public administration, financial services companies, transport and accommodation services companies and manufacturing enterprises. The data were evaluated separately for each category and made into tables and graphs which were followed by partial results and discussions on individual issues. Based on the results we can say that we are moving to a situation where the leadership positions will discover a balanced representation of men and women relating to higher education and good language skills. Most managers feel the need for further education and they are actively working on it. The most prefered form of learning is learning through education courses, learning from the other managers and from their own experiences. It is clear that managers prefer to work in teams, consultative and team style of management, self-realization, adequate earnings and friendly relations in the workplace. As prerequisite for successful management is considered organizational and communication skills, ability to motivate people and take responsibility for their decisions. Most executives have the oportunity to come up with creative ideas and more than half of them enforce it into practice. After a summary of the informations gathered, it becomes clear tendency of manager not to be afraid of new approaches in education and personality development, which is on a very good level. Today´s managers are aware of the imporatnce of education for the knowledge society, and they are trying actively to develope it. In the future we can expect more sophisticated styles of management and upward trend in the implementation of new personnel management in all the monitored sectors.

Ramsey-type results for ordered hypergraphs
Balko, Martin ; Valtr, Pavel (advisor) ; Conlon, David (referee) ; Nešetřil, Jaroslav (referee)
Ramsey-type results for ordered hypergraphs Martin Balko Abstract We introduce ordered Ramsey numbers, which are an analogue of Ramsey numbers for graphs with a linear ordering on their vertices. We study the growth rate of ordered Ramsey numbers of ordered graphs with respect to the number of vertices. We find ordered match- ings whose ordered Ramsey numbers grow superpolynomially. We show that ordered Ramsey numbers of ordered graphs with bounded degeneracy and interval chromatic number are at most polynomial. We prove that ordered Ramsey numbers are at most polynomial for ordered graphs with bounded bandwidth. We find 3-regular graphs that have superlinear ordered Ramsey numbers, regardless of the ordering. The last two results solve problems of Conlon, Fox, Lee, and Sudakov. We derive the exact formula for ordered Ramsey numbers of mono- tone cycles and use it to obtain the exact formula for geometric Ramsey numbers of cycles that were introduced by Károlyi et al. We refute a conjecture of Peters and Szekeres about a strengthening of the fa- mous Erd˝os-Szekeres conjecture to ordered hypergraphs. We obtain the exact formula for the minimum number of crossings in simple x-monotone drawings of complete graphs and provide a combinatorial characterization of these drawings in terms of colorings of ordered...
