Fear as a risk factor of seniors falling
JUŘENOVÁ, Renáta
Fear of falling, even without previous experience with falling, can put older people in higher risk due to their reduced activities. In this diploma thesis Fear as a risk factor of seniors falling there were two objectives to achieve. The first objective was to determine the fear of falling for people aged 65 and over, living on their own or in nursing homes. The second objective was to determine the fear of repeated falls on physical and social activities of people aged 65 and over. In order to determine the set objectives both quantitative and qualitative research methods were necessary to use. The quantitative research was carried out in a form of an own questionnaire and FES-I test with 122 responders. The qualitative part was performed by semi-open interview with five participants. The data obtained in qualitative research were subsequently analyzed by open coding, pencil and paper method. A total of five predetermined hypotheses were statistically processed after the end of data collection. After evaluating the hypotheses, it was found that the level of fear of falling depends on age, but not on gender. An interesting outcome was the fact that level of fear of falling is higher in elderly people living in nursing homes than in people living on their own. It is also important to note that previous experience with a fall affects the level of fear, but hospitalization for injuries caused by a fall does not affect the level of fear of a fall. The research question revealed that older people, after the experience of falling, think more about where their next steps will lead when walking. However, there was no reduction in social activity in the sample of elderly people who have a history of falls. This diploma thesis should draw attention to the issue of falls of older people over the age of 65. Older people are often afraid of falling and therefore limit their daily and physical activities, which on the contrary increases the risk of falling. The elderly people need to understand the risks of falling, both internal and external, and be able to determine the danger of the fall. This requires educating them not only by nurses but also by doctors and other health-care oriented staff.

Barriers in Inclusion for Children Diagnosed with Epidermolysis Bullosa.
VELICKÁ, Lenka
Work deals with barriers in inclusion for children with Epidermolysis bullosa disease. The theoretical section introduces basic information about epidermolysis bullosa disease and the care of such sick children. It also describes the DEBRA organisation, characterising the younger school age with regard to disability and characterising the foundations of inclusion. The practical part contains qualitative research examining the existence of barriers in inclusion. For the data collection, a semi-structured interview was chosen for the three families in which the child is located with EB and the conversations are part of the annexes. It also includes an analysis of all three interviews using so-called emerging topics that are recorded in the tables, the tables are also included in the annexes. All three families have a positive attitude to the disease and teach their children autonomy. They identify teacher fear as the main barrier to inclusion. But good inclusion is all about the moral.

The use of relaxation techniques for children suffering anxiety in kindergarten
ŽOČKOVÁ, Andrea
This bachelor work deals with the use of relaxation techniques for children suffering anxiety in kindergarten. The aim of this bachelor is to determine, which relaxation techniques teachers in kindergarten use, how anxious children behave in kindergarten and how they react to relaxation techniques. The work is divided into theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part focuses on anxiety and fear in children from birth to preschool age and also on relaxation techniques that can be a tool to reduce anxiety. The practical part consists of observing children marked as anxious, as well as action research of relaxation techniques. The author implements relaxation techniques in a chosen kindergarten, and she focuses on the reactions of anxious children to relaxation. The aim of the action research is to implement relaxation techniques so that anxious children feel comfortable and relaxed. The relaxation should help children to reduce anxiety. The work is supplemented by interviews with teachers in kindergartens.

The origin of specific phobia from spiders: Neurophysiological mechanisms vs. testing the assumptions of evolutionary theories explaining the origin of specific phobia from spiders
Hladíková, Tereza ; Landová, Eva (advisor) ; Telenský, Petr (referee)
Spider phobia is one of the most frequent specific animal phobias in the population. There are two key emotions in the origin of spider phobia: fear and disgust. Several theories of spider phobia origin were proposed and so the results and interpretations of these studies, which test prerequisites of these particular theories often vary. Studies focusing on psychophysiological measurements such as changes in heart activity or skin resistance, show differences in emotion intensity in phobics compared to non-phobics. The second group of studies concerning the analysis of proximate mechanisms attempts to uncover the brain activity during phobic stimulation. These studies mostly agree on the coordination of the cognitive control network and the fear-network with the key role of the amygdala and insula in the phobic reaction. Other studies which test prerequisites of evolutionary theories examine e.g. heritability of specific phobias, speed of spider detection or easier learning and extinction of fear of spiders. The aim of this bachelor thesis is focused on the results of studies uncovering the proximate neurophysiological and psychophysiological mechanisms of specific spider phobia and to discuss these results in relation to the paradigm of evolutionary theories about the origin of this phobia. It is...

Returning Vertebrate Species as a Topic of Environmental Education
Hartlová, Adéla ; Andreska, Jan (advisor) ; Chocholoušková, Zdenka (referee) ; Urban, Peter (referee)
The presented thesis deals with the relationship between humans and animals that return to the Czech Republic due to various circumstances, especially national protection, and protection within the European Union. This is a group of animals that have been exterminated from the Czech wilderness for various reasons and upon their return cause damage, arouse fear and cause controversy. The spontaneous return and reintroduction of some vertebrate species is, therefore, considered a controversial topic at present because we are facing reintroduced and returning species more and more frequently. This is why people should ideally be introduced to this topic at primary schools, where the information is presented in a clear and didactic way, rather than later on, for example, in the context of various attitudes-raising campaigns. For this reason, this research was performed at primary schools, grammar schools and secondary vocational schools training future foresters and fishermen, in order to determine what pupils' attitudes towards these returning or reintroduced vertebrate species are and what can influence these attitudes. This research was carried out in the form of a questionnaire survey with analyses in Jamovi and Statistica 14. Subsequent analyses of the data revealed that students have generally...

Boo Boo
Švantnerová, Izabela ; Fišerová, Lucia (referee) ; Gravlejs, Ivars (advisor)
We dedicate ourselves to the time of our rest, which many of us look forward to all day long. However, there are those among us who do not consider night, dreaming and sleep to be a time of rest. Sleep disorders are an unpleasant part of many of us and are becoming an increasingly discussed topic / problem. Sleep paralysis does not give us obvious answers to reality and dream - The work deals with monsters that become our houseplants during the night. And it is these monsters that are the basis for the ominous sleep experience. How else to deal with fear than to get to know him and understand him. So we create an "encyclopedia" of night monsters / flowers, based on which are illustrations of different people from different groups, working with the supplied materials and creating prototypes of a scary creature.
