Analysis of Economic Risk of Investment Project
Malý, Lukáš ; Holá, Michaela (referee) ; Hromádka, Vít (advisor)
This thesis focuses on considering of the investor economic risk during the preparation of the investment project including the financial plan, its evaluation and suggestions of proposals for risk reduction. Correct decisions on implementation or rejection of the project are based on the realistic financial plan. However, expenses and revenues are only implied and are burdened with some variability that leads to the risk of failure to achieve the planned values. To assess the acceptability of certain risks for the investor, an analysis of risk factors was conducted. The factors are first identified for their significance and potential negative impact, then the most risk factors are evaluated and determined whether it is necessary to further tracking or the risk to the investor is acceptable.

Evalution of Economic Efficiency of EPC Projects
Vlčová, Zuzana ; Šourek, Bořivoj (referee) ; Korytárová, Jana (advisor)
The issue of energy saving building is a current topic of today. The increasing costs of operating buildings reduce economic efficiency of the organization operations. A large part of the operating cost is energy cost. An effective tool for improving the energy performance of buildings is an EPC method. The implementation of energy projects through EPC is offered by Energy Services Company. This thesis evaluates the economic efficiency of the project implemented by the EPC and analyses its risk factors. The subject of EPC project is modernisation of an energy sector of a hospital building. The economic efficiency of the project is interpreted on the basis of economic indicators Net Present Value, Internal Rate of Return and Profitability Index. There was also performed Monte Carlo simulation supported by Oracle Crystal Ball software within the analysis of risk factors for the project.

Risk factors of atherosclerosis
MRAČKOVÁ, Michala
Atherosclerosis and its risk factors are bases of most cardiovascular diseases (CVD), the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in industrial countries worldwide. Recently many new, independent biomarkers have appearred which could in future serve for increasing predictive value of "classical" risk factors of atherosclerosis. That is why in our bachelor thesis we followed the occurrence of classical risk factors which are used for calculation of the risk of fatal cardiovascular event during next ten years along with several new biomarkers in a group of randomly selected clients of a spa resort Savoy in Karlovy Vary without clinical signs of atherosclerosis. The results show that the most frequent risk factor in this population was hypercholesterolemia and a positive family history of a cardiovascular disease. The study group was divided according to the cardiovascular risk. We found that only 57 % of middle-aged persons belong to a group with the minor to medium risk, i.e. while 43 % of the followed parsons had high or very high risk of CVD. According to our expectation, high percentage of persons with a high cardiovascular risk was among men. The population of women suffered from metabolic syndrome in 35 % while the men´s part of the study group had metabolic syndrome even in 52 %. The final part of the thesis studied some "non-traditional" risk factors of atherosclerosis. In the investigated population the highest percentage showed lipoprotein-associated phospholipase (Lp-PLA2), increased concentration of lipoprotein (a) was less frequent and the lowest incidence was found in the case of small dense LDL. Pathological levels of Lp(a) were more frequent in women while increased Lp-PLA2 was found especially in men. Persons with high CVD risk showed higher concentration of Lp-PLA2, the other two factors did not differ between the two groups with different risk score. Nevertheless, the predictive value of Lp-PLA2 with respect to assessment of CVD risk was very low.

Preparation of patient prior to application intravenous of contrast medium in relation to the prevention of renal failure
PUCHOLTOVÁ, Lenka
The topic of the bachelor thesis is the patient preparation prior to intravenous contrast in relation to the prevention of renal failure. The theoretical part deals with the anatomy and physiology of the kidney, provides information about the contrast media of their properties, uses and side effects. At the end of the theoretical part describes the contrast medium-induced nephropathy. In the practical part I focused on finding out what is the incidence of contrast nephropathy in individuals with normal creatinine levels depending on the amount of contrast agent and the preparation of the patient. I obtained the data from the hospital information system Masaryk Hospital Townsville. The database contained a set of hospitalized patients in the years 2009 - 2011, which were performed CT examinations associated with the administration of iodinated contrast media. Part of the personal data of patients, the tests used, the type and amount of contrast agent and creatinine values. Since creatinine values were available for all patients, the final database was created from 938 patients with baseline of normal creatinine levels before the examination for which they may be level <than 130 mmol/l. The final group of patients was analyzed according to the defined aims and statistically processed. Hypothesis of this study: the incidence of contrast nephropathy in individuals with normal creatinine levels depending on the amount of contrast agent as a suitable preparation of patients prior to administration of iodinated contrast material does not exceed 10% - was confirmed. In the investigated group of patients was proved preventive effect of patient preparation before the test - hydration. A higher incidence of CN was observed in the group of patients whose preparation has taken place.

The Level of Awareness of Employees in the Selected Construction Companies about Inclusion in the Category of Work and Medical Facility that Provides them with Preventive Care
JÍNOVÁ, Jana
The thesis is divided into two parts, theoretical and practical. The theoretical part of the paper summarizes findings of construction industry, works classification, selected risk factors of working conditions, health protection measures and the legislation in this field. This section is processed by the secondary analysis of data taken from literature, legislation and websites. In the practical part of the study, quantitative research was used, the interview method was selected and the data collection technique was that of a questionnaire. 270 questionnaires were distributed, 215 of them were returned back, the return rate was 75%. The questionnaire contained 16 questions. They were submitted in a preprinted form to be filled in writing by employees of selected medium-sized construction companies. The questions were aimed at identifying the respondents, at finding their views and knowledge. The aim of this study was to create a list of professions that are used in construction industry, on the example of selected construction companies, to characterize the actual or potential exposure to risk factors regarding individual professions, and to determine how much the company employees are informed of the way preventive care measures are provided. Two hypotheses were set. Hypothesis 1, workers are informed in which work category they are classified, has not been confirmed. The research results have shown that a great number of employees do not remember that they were informed of the category into which their work had been classified. Hypothesis 2, workers are informed of the preventive care measures provision, has been confirmed. The employees proved that they had been sufficiently informed about the medical facility providing them with preventive care. The research results will be forwarded to employers who, based on these findings, may take measures to increase their employees' knowledge in the field.

The issue of taking capillary blood for glycemia
KOPAČKOVÁ, Lucie
The proper technique of capillary blood sampling to determine the level of glycemia plays an important role in diagnostics and therapy of diabetes mellitus. There has been a large shift in this disease in recent years, especially in diagnostics and treatment. It is a disease characterized by high blood sugar levels. In practice, it often happens that although it is a procedure nurses carry out almost daily, during capillary blood sampling to determine the level of glycemia, a number of errors occurs. This fact inspired me to write a bachelor thesis on the topic "The issue of capillary blood sampling to determine the level of glycemia?. The empirical part of the thesis deals with both the disease Diabetes Mellitus itself and the capillary blood sampling. In the introductory part history and definition of diabetes are given, the causes of the disease, complications, diagnostics and treatment of Diabetes Mellitus are described. The issue of capillary blood sampling to determine the levels of glycemia is discussed in detail, as well as the recommended procedure of capillary blood sampling and devices designed for the sampling . The practical part of the thesis is focused on selected objectives, research questions and hypotheses. The objective of the research was to identify the factors that may affect the results of the examination, to find out whether nurses follow the recommended procedure for capillary blood sampling and to identify the most common errors nurses make during the sampling. To achieve the objectives both quantitative and qualitative research surveys were carried out. The qualitative research was conducted by observations of six nurses working in inpatient wards in České Budějovice Hospital, plc, supplemented by interviews with the nurses. The three research questions can be answered as follows. The most common factors that may affect the test results is poor sample handling, sample exposure to unsuitable temperature conditions, and forced squeeze of blood from a finger. While collecting capillary blood nurses often make mistakes in communicating with the patient, when they do not give information about the performed punction and do not properly explain the whole procedure to the patient. They wash their hands before blood sampling without using a disinfectant. The interviews gave the answer to the last research question that the most common problem the nurses are aware of during capillary blood sampling is forced squeeze of blood from a finger, poor disinfection of the punction site and a delayed transport to the laboratory. Qualitative research survey was supplemented by quantitative research, which consisted of 66 observations of capillary blood sampling, which were carried out by nurses in České Budějovice Hospital, plc. This research survey was conducted to verify the results obtained from the qualitative research. This hypothesis was formulated: H1: During capillary blood sampling to determine the level of glycemia nurses most often make mistakes in communication with the patient. Based on the quantitative research, it has been found out that the most common mistake made by nurses is a failure to use a disinfectant for hand hygiene before sampling blood (16%). The mistake in communication took the third place (14%). Based on the above results the conclusion can be made that H1: During capillary blood sampling to determine the level of glycemia nurses most often make mistakes in communication with the patient, has not been confirmed. Using the knowledge earned from literature and the conducted research I have proposed a standard of nursing care for nurses called "Capillary blood sampling to determine the level of glycemia." Nurses will have an opportunity to have a manual at hand that will serve them as a quide to correctly perform capillary blood sampling to determine the level of glycemia and they will not be consider the blood sampling to be a routine procedure.

The use of the news media and the internet in the prevention of diseases
KRMENČÍKOVÁ, Lucie
This Diploma Thesis focuses on the use of key Czech media in the prevention of diseases, on an analysis of their levels and on the possible impact on recipients. It also investigates to what extent are topics interconnected with commercial communication and how commercial background determines such communication. In the theoretical part of this Diploma Thesis I attempted to give a brief and comprehensible outline of the issues conserning the prevention of diseases and the mass media according to the most up-to-date information. The main aim of the practical part of this Diploma Thesis was to map the frequency by which health-related preventive material is published in key Czech media. A further aim of this Diploma Thesis was to discover the main topics that key media deal with. The quantitative data collection method and media analyses were applied in this part of the Diploma Thesis. It ensues from my research that key media mostly concentrate on topics conserning the prevention of malignant tumors. Advertisements that are concerned with the prevention of selected illnesses usually refer food supplements and curative preparations. The results of this Diploma Thesis further indicate that prevention of diseases mass media is not neglected; nonetheless, I am the opinion that the frequency of publication could be higher. On the contrary, there could be less commercial communication that goes along with material that focuses on health-related prevention issues. I am convinced that the prevention of diseases with use of the news media is the basic step to a healthy population without which we cannot envisage our future. The result of this Diploma Thesis can be applied in the creation of preventive programmes and information strategies regarding disease prevention.
