Human biological variation in the light of certain morphological and molecular biological traits.
Kujanová, Martina ; Černý, Viktor (advisor) ; Sládek, Vladimír (referee) ; Munclinger, Pavel (referee)
This doctoral thesis is submitted in the form of science publications with impact factor and presents human biological variation in two different ways. The first part is the study of phenotype variation focused on the degree of limb bones bilateral asymmetry. Besides genetic and hormonal factors asymmetry may develop as a response to biomechanical and to environmental factors influencing the individual/population. Therefore this trait can be considered as a measure of person's living conditions, health or environmental stress of different origin or exa- mine the effects of behavioral distinctions as sexual division of labor and diffe- rences in subsistence strategy. The submitted publication (Kujanová et al., 2008) is based on samples of two diachronic populations (medieval and recent) from Bohe- mia with different expected levels of health/environmental stress. The study is fo- cused especially on these aspects that may be indicative of various stresses, such as malnutrition or other nonspecific factors influencing health of persons living in the studied populations. According to the results we propose that bilateral asymmetry observed in the diachronic populations showed some differences supporting the theory that the medieval population was not subjected to as highly stressful condi- tions as the...

Fire control equipment and its emergency use with a view to the safety of escaping people
VÍTOVÁ, Eliška
The bachelor thesis entitled "Fire control equipment and its emergency use with a view to the safety of escaping people" is aimed at providing public information on the basic kinds of fire control equipment and their use. The thesis stresses the fact that the availability of fire control security equipment in the households is rather poor considering its main aim is the protection of the owners´ health and assets. The results were obtained with the use of questionnaires supplied to the public and by the survey of statistical data received from particular fire brigades including the numbers of deaths in household fires. Installing the basic kinds of fire control equipment which I mentioned in my thesis can considerably improve the chances of survival as well as decrease related health risks and damage to property.

Physiotherapy at high amputations as a complication of diabetes mellitus
HAJNÁ, Štěpánka
A topic of this bachelor thesis is "Physiotherapy at high amputations as a complication of diabetes mellitus." Diabetes mellitus is a chronic, etiopathogenically heterogeneous disease. It arises from the lack of an insulin action at its absolute or relative absence and it is accompanied by a complex metabolic disorder of sugars, fats and proteins. Long-term vascular complications, which can lead to an amputation, gradually develop on the basis of this disease. An introductory part of the current state is focused on the characteristic of diabetes mellitus, its classification, risk factors, pathogenesis, course and its complications. The other part is focused on the problem of amputations and the last part of the current state is focused on used examination methods and physiotherapeutic procedures. A goal of the research part was to evaluate a usage of physiotherapeutic methods at patients with the high amputation as a complication of diabetes mellitus and a possibility to integrate these patients into a life in the highest possible quality. I used, for the practical part of the bachelor thesis, methods of the qualitative research, the case study and an analysis of personal documents. The tested sample consisted of two patients with the high amputation, which was indicated because of complications of diabetes mellitus. The patients were monitored during their hospitalization in the rehabilitation ward or in the successive care ward of the hospital in České Budějovice. The results have been worked up in the form of case reports. The health status of all patients was at least partially improved and it came about their better integration into the society. It is therefore possible to say that rehabilitation goals were met. The bachelor thesis can be used in the actual work of physiotherapists or as a basis for their further scientific research. Then it can be used by patients themselves or by their close people in dealing with this handicap.

THE PROBLEMS OF PASSIVE SMOKING WITHIN CHILDREN´S POPULATION
SCHOVÁNKOVÁ, Lenka
Passive smoking, whose basis is inhalation of smoke produced by other persons, is sometimes also termed as the enforced smoking or as the explosion of air containing a tobacco smoke. In case of children there are formed the condition for origin of asthma, disease of respiratory track, inflammation of the middle ear, syndrome of sudden death in case of newly born babies and other diseases. Although the undesirable effects of passive smoking has been known for a long time, according to the researches more than forty percent of children have been still exposed to them. The aim of this diploma thesis was to map the situation within the selected sample of children´s population, to ascertain to what extent the children are exposed to cigarette´s smoke, what is the level of their awareness of health consequences of passive smoking, what is their relation to active smoking and if this relation is affected by the fact, where and how they are exposed to passive smoking. For the purpose of the research there were determined two hypotheses. The former one assumed that most of children did not realize the principal harmful effects of passive smoking. However, from the evaluation of the results of the questionnaire survey it implied that 90 % of children were able to name correctly the harmful effects of cigarette´s smoke and 91 % thought that passive smoking was detrimental to their health. The latter assumption was that in case of the children being exposed to passive smoking there is a higher risk to become the active smokers. This hypothesis was not completely verified. The percentage of children, who have repeated the experience in smoking, was in the group, whose parents are smokers, lower. On the contrary these children, who are friends with a smoker, more often carried out experiments with a cigarette. In addition to the diploma thesis mentions the results of the pilot study performed in 1996 in the Czech Republic within the project {\clqq}Smoking and me``, which devotes to problems of passive smoking and also selected ascertainment of the study named The Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS) of 2002.

Legal regulations in sickness insurance and their influence on abuse of sickness benefits
KUNCOVÁ, Věra
Abstract My Bachelor dissertation ``Legal Adjustment of Sickness Insurance and its Influence on the Abuse of Sickness Benefits{\crqq} deals with the interpretation of the legal adjustment of individual sickness insurance benefits after 1st January 2008 and with reasons which may cause the abuse of sickness insurance benefits. The main objective of my Bachelor dissertation is not only to find out these causes but also to refer to the facts which could become a basis for changes and alterations in the legal adjustment of the sickness insurance system since 1st January 2009. My work and conclusions are based on good quality research using the method of half-standardized interviews with six respondents from OSSZ (=District Social Security Administration {--} transl. remark) in Tábor and Pelhřimov, and I also involved the method of documents analysis. The research was carried out on the basis of source materials which were available in OSSZ Tábor in the periods of January and February 2007, August to December 2007 and January and February 2008 and also on the basis of statistical data for years 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008. The gathered data and interviews results apparently show that there is a tendency to the abuse of sickness insurance benefits in the company. This fact is supported by the legal adjustment both in the area of social insurance and in the area of health insurance, and consequently in the area of the criminal law too. The research established that there might be the abuse of benefits, but on the other hand, if you compare the data showing the amount of finances invested into the sickness insurance benefits in the months of January and February of years 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008, it is apparent that in February 2008 there is a decline in financial means invested into these benefits. We have succeeded in reduction of expenses on sickness benefits then. And the adoption of the waiting period can partly prevent from sickness benefits abusing too. In spite of that decline which has indisputably resulted from the legal adjustment valid since 1st January 2008 there are remedies that could prevent from further benefits abusing such as a consistent reform in the health service system, introduction of clear rules for checking those who are on sick leave and financial participation of employers during the sick leave of their employees. Concentration of sickness benefits payments for employees of small organizations, for self-employed individuals and for employees of organizations onto OSSZ companies (=District Social Security Administration) should make this paperwork easier and should cause the fall in expenses connected with sickness benefits payments.
