Medical Cannabis in Health and Social Perspective
ŘÁDKOVÁ, Klára
This thesis deals with a medical and social view of taking healing hemp (cannabis). It is a theoretical thesis elaborated based on the analysis of the available Czech and foreign information sources and professional publications. The thesis target is to map the issue of taking healing hemp by means of the information from the available foreign and Czech literature. The thesis focuses on the most important issues dealt with by the professional as well as lay public and on the development of the solution of this issue. I was captured by this issue after my internship in Belgium, where I had the opportunity to travel through neighbouring Netherlands and to get to know, from the viewpoint of a foreigner, the opinions and access of the inhabitants to the hemp as healing and relaxing mean. The first chapter deals with using the healing hemp in the historical context. Hemp represents one of the oldest crops and for this reason the history of hemp in the period of antiquity, Middle Ages and modern times is described. The following chapter focuses on the individual substances contained in hemp. In this chapter, the endo-cannabinoid system and three kinds of substances contained in hemp strains are analysed canabinoids (THC), canabidiols (CBD), canabinols (CBN). The chapter presents the profile of one of the most important personalities associated with hemp, professor Raphael Mechoulam, the main icon and discoverer of THC. The chapter three devotes to toxicology and addiction when taking hemp, which occurs quite rarely among users of hemp drugs. In this chapter, influence of hemp on the memory of user is treated, as well as the influence of hemp on the occurrence of lungs diseases discussed constantly in connection with smoking and in the last part of this chapter, the addiction and influence of hemp on users psyche is analysed. The following chapter is devoted to the issue of the drug policy, especially defining the status of healing hemp in the law, research of healing hemp and legalization of hemp in the Czech Republic. This chapter is devoted in detail to the legalization of hemp in the world, especially in the states like California, Israel, Canada and Netherlands where the hemp was legalized for healing purposes many years ago. The present science brings a wide spectrum of clinical research examining the effects of hemp during the treatment of many diseases. For this reason, the chapter dealing with hemp in connection with medicine is present in the thesis. Six areas were chosen from individual medicine branches on which this chapter is focused. The reader learns about the healing effects of hemp in the area of oncological diseases, psychiatric diseases, palliation of pain, dermatological diseases, multiple sclerosis and HIV/AIDS. In the last chapter, the opinions and experiences of the professional public in connection with hemp are described. This part deals with the contribution of the newest knowledge presented at the Prague conference about healing hemp. In this part of thesis, also the international hemp Cannafest Trade Fair is mentioned held in 2015 in Prague. It follows clearly from the thesis that the health and social issues connected with healing hemp is the topic of extensive and long-lasting discussions at present. In the area of the lay public, there is interest in this form of medical treatment which is supported quite a lot. The thesis may be used as information source by medical/paramedical and social employees and organizations supporting the legal use of healing hemp. It could represent the base of a professional article for the journal dealing with this topic as e.g. professional journals "Legalization" or "Health." Last but not least, the thesis should serve as complex of information for the persons who decided to take the hemp or consider this possibility.

Analysis of health care system
Jandejsková, Klára ; Ježek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Durdisová, Jaroslava (referee)
This master's thesis is focused on the comparison of different systems of payment for health care in the Czech Republic. Insurance companies play an essential part in financing health care and they are also responsible for setting the rules for health care providers, who in turn modify the systems of financing health care that had been set out. This is the reason why the issues concerning insurance companies are discussed in both parts of this thesis, firstly the theoretical side and secondly the practical one. The theoretical part of this thesis discusses the structure of the czech healthcare system as a whole and then the payment systems set up for individual providers of health care are analysed in the following chapters. The practical part shows examples of how the payment system for health care works, what problems it encounters, what exactly is the role of insurance companies and how to deal with presented problems. The aim of this thesis is to provide an overview of the types of payment systems for health care used in the Czech Republic and further focus on the specifics and details that are analysed along with their potential impact on the amount of the final payment.
