Pick´s disease and the specifics of the nursing care of a patient with this disease
KOPKAŠOVÁ, Lenka
Pick's disease is a degenerative-atrophic process that primarily affects the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain. Besides Alzheimer's disease, it is a lesser known form of dementia which affects people of younger age. Although the exact range of Pick's disease occurrence varies in the literature, the average reported age is between 50-60 years. The disease can change eating habits, cause emotional swings, inappropriate behaviour and sloppy appearance of the patients. The behaviour to others is often selfish, the patients are unable to listen to others and ignore their surroundings. Pick's disease is also characterized by inappropriate sexual behaviour. Globally, the number of dementia patients is still growing and according to expert guesses the increase will continue. Nursing care for patients with dementia is therefore becoming a very actual topic as dementia is called a quiet epidemic of our century. Nurses in their departments quite frequently encounter patients suffering from dementia of various origins at different stages of disability and the staff at healthcare facilities often regard these people as a burden. The aim of this thesis, which is called Pick's Disease and Specifics of Nursing Care for Patients with this Disease, is, based on the theoretical knowledge, to map definitions and diagnosis of Pick's disease, to define the needs of such a patient, and to list the most common problems in the nursing care. It focuses on people with dementia within medical facilities. For proper understanding of the problem, the thesis starts with the anatomy and physiology of the brain and the description of cognitive functions which are affected by the dementia syndrome and the definition of dementia. Based on the studied literature, dementia is divided according to various criteria. It has been found out that dividing dementia is not entirely uniform, but the essential facts and overall opinions of the authors do not diverge. Pick's disease belongs to a group of frontotemporal dementia and its position in this group has changed over time, as it is recorded in the literature. The thesis includes recommendations resulting from the studied literature in the approach to patients with dementia and emphasizes personal communication with the patients and empathetic and humane approach. Although medicine cannot prevent dementia, an early diagnosis of a specific type of dementia and correctly targeted treatment can increase the quality of life not only of the patients but also of their families. I have chosen this topic because I find it very current and interesting. During my nursing practice at the Surgery Department and Aftercare Department, I have met patients suffering from dementia and I did not know how to properly and efficiently communicate with them. For the theoretical part of my work, the methods of explanation, synthesis and induction on the basis of Czech and foreign information sources have been used. The most frequently quoted Czech authors in my thesis are doc. MD. Roman Jirák, PhD., the head of the center for diagnosis and therapy of Alzheimer's disease at the psychiatric clinic of the General University Hospital in Prague, the 1st Medical Faculty of Charles University. This thesis can serve as an informational and educational source both for nurses and the general public who may experience the disease within their families. It would be considered a great success if it helped nurses or family members to diagnose Pick's disease or other dementia at an early stage.

PEJŠOVÁ, Martina
The work deals with potential providers for execution of punishment by means of community service in Tábor region. It is a possibility of newly arisen providers in neighbouring municipalities of the town of Tábor, which are not registered at PMS CR. The theoretical part describes history of alternative punishments which is where the punishment of community works belongs to. In brief there are characteristics of Probation and Mediation Service and its objectives. Further it involves pertinences and activities of the PMS worker during his/her work with the client both before and after the court decision. The work also mentions health protection of persons serving their sentence. The theoretical part is concluded with the chapter about currently arising providers for execution of punishment by means of community services and things like how to find out which municipalities and towns are at the register, what they have to do to become providers and what pertinences they have to follow and how to cooperate with the legal client. The practical part contains analysis at the non-registered municipalities in Tábor region, their possibilities to provide execution of punishment by means of community services. Further there are particularities concerning the selection of a person who could be granted with the possibility to be provided with this in their community. The result is a kind of profile of a convenient person for providing the execution of punishment by means of community services. Majority of the newly addressed municipalities would be willing to provide the person with the chance to execute the punishment. They would prefer a manually skilful Czech citizen ? a middle aged man between thirty and fifty. At the same time they would also enable the execution of the punishment to juvenile people in most cases. On the other hand people with any kind of addiction would not have many chances as well as people who should be recommended to execute the work at weekends. With the exception of winter season all the others had similar representation. In most cases municipalities would be willing to establish contacts with the Probation and Mediation Service. In connection with the declaration of the partial amnesty in January this year almost all municipalities mean that it affected the execution of punishment by means of community service but rather negatively.

The Most Holy Trinity as the Foundation of the Identity of Created Persons
HANKE JAROŠOVÁ, Světla
According to Scripture God created human beings "in our image, after our likeness". The likeness used to be conceived in terms of the rational nature human beings possess. Modern thought has come to conceive of the likeness rather in terms of being person, who receives her identity in relationships from others and at the same time mediates the others´ identity to them. The author presents the historical development of the concept of person as well as selected contemporary approaches, which she evaluates in light of the personal life of the Triune God as it is witnessed in Scripture and incessantly communicated in the liturgy of the church. She also presents ways of conceiving of created personhood she has attained in this light. Created persons are created in order to receive divine self-communication and to be able to participate in it, which they can in dependence on the one, who is the true revelator of God, as participation in his revelatory activity. By accepting their dependence, they become capable of acting freely through themselves and fulfill the task entrusted to them by creation.
