Hlaváček, Jan ; Molnár, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Drtil, Jan (referee)
Protection of information and knowledge in organization in the context of the tumultuous development of information technology has become one of the most important areas where attention is directed by experts and the general public. It is a very large problem, affecting virtually all areas of the economy, with forays into the private lives of owners, members and employees of the organization. The protection of information and knowledge can be only regarded as data protection, as is generally perceived, but also to protect other assets of the organization, especially intangible assets. For this reason, the theoretical part deals with the legal aspects of privacy issues in the field of labor relations and on issues of definition and protection of intangible assets and intellectual property. The practical part of the survey focused on information security in the Czech Republic. The first part compares the state of the most common security incidents and threats in the Slovak Republic in 2008 and in the Czech Repubic in 2009, formulates recommendations and ways to prevent against the occurrence of security incidents. The second part compares the practical part of the state of information security in the CR between 2007 and 2009 under the headings of the respondents carried out the survey. The conclusion of this section summarizes the status of the security situation in those years and points to new aspects. The third part of the practical part is based on direct involvement in the preparation and implementation of the project PSIB for the period 2010 and 2011. It describes the status, methods of procedure and method of implementation in concrete terms PSIB by DSM. It points to some problems in the practical implementation of research and suggests possible approaches to their solution. The conclusion includes suggestions and recommendations for the realization of the information in the surveyed areas, as well as changes and measures aimed at effective implementation of that survey.

Educational policy towards Roma: an application of a theoretical approach social constructions of target populations on a problem of educating Roma pupils in the Czech schools
Jeráčková, Aneta ; Novotný, Vilém (advisor) ; Muhič Dizdarevič, Selma (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with educational policy towards Roma pupils in the Czech Republic. This problem is explored on the basis of theoretical approach called social constructions of target populations. Educational policy towards Roma pupils has a provable negative character, because it segregates many Roma pupils from the educational mainstream and thus it prevents them from achieving an adequate level of education. On the opposite side of this "double-track" education system there is a concept of inclusive education, which is considered on the EU level as more effective and beneficial for the whole society. However, there is a polemic in the Czech society, both professional and non-professional, with respect to reforming the education system into more open and inclusive form. Despite of the fact that the concept of inclusive education has been formally accepted as a guideline of the Czech education system, it hasn't brought any real change so far, neither of the system itself, nor of the situation of Roma pupils in it. With an application of theoretical knowledge of the social constructions of target populations approach, this diploma thesis tries to understand a present image of the educational policy towards Roma pupils, in order to answer a question: why it has prevailing negative character...

KOVAŘÍKOVÁ, Jaroslava
The thesis focuses on care of clients with Alzheimer's, including the burden of family members and possible options of using services of a day care and a week care centre. The theoretical part of the thesis deals with Alzheimer's disease together with nursing care, health care system in the Czech Republic and possibility to use services of day care and week care centres. In the empirical part of the thesis the method of qualitative research was used. A non standardized interview was applied as a method of questioning. The results of the qualitative research clearly show that the care for clients with Alzheimer's dementia represents a major burden for family members who care for the ill and in connection with the care provided they have to tackle following problems. They have to cope with the gradual deterioration of memory of the ill, which is associated with occasional forgetfulness, disorientation, wandering around. Another problem is to handle in an acceptable way the change of behaviour of their loved ones who often attack them both verbally and physically. Family members help patients with feeding, emptying, hygiene and grooming. They must solve the difficulties with activation of patients including memory exercises, they watch whether the patients swallow the medication. The conclusions of the thesis show that family members have to deal with many above mentioned problems when providing care for their loved ones. They themselves are tired and exhausted due to the care they provide, which is related to the incidents of their own health problems. They neglect themselves and their families, it is difficult for them to coordinate the care with their job and often come to work sleepy. For these reasons they would like to use services of day care and week care centres. It eases them of the burden of care, which they see as a benefit. The research revealed the expected services of the day care centre including expected nursing care. The research results were presented to the management of the Aftercare Hospital in Humpolec as it had planned to open a day care centre for patients with Alzheimer's dementia. Furthermore, the results served as a basis for the seminar for potential applicants, who would like to work in the centre. Based on information obtained in the course of writing of the thesis, a draft of the brochure was created which would serve as information material for family members of clients with Alzheimer's including the patients themselves.

FAJMANOVÁ, Dita
The finding congenital defect or chromosomal aberration by child puts a woman to big medical, ethical but also social problem, when she is forced to decide, if she should interrupt the pregnancy or to continue. By searching for abnormalities and pathologies in pregnancy is held by prenatal diagnostics. This involves cooperation of many medical fields such as obstetrics, ultrasonography, specialized laboratory and clinical genetics. The task of prenatal diagnostics is to reveal abnormalities in development of the child and to be able to interrupt the pregnancy, give information about following approach, to give possibility of choice, decrease fear and worries, and be able to cure the child in prenatal stage. Interruption is an action by which another development of the child is terminated. It brings many complicated situations, in which it is necessary to deal with them individually and in correlation with legislation. According to law it is possible to interrupt pregnancy after 12th week only in that case, when a life of the woman is threaten, or serious damage of child is proven or the child is not able to survive. If there are some genetic reasons for interruption, it is possible to interrupt pregnancy till 24th week and furthermore this possibility is valid when risk of damage of the child is more than 10% based on genetic examination. For interruption in second trimester it is necessary to choose sufficient method of interruption and provide a woman traumatic treatment to minimize the trauma. In this case the assistance of birth assistant is essential.This bachelor thesis is focused on problematic of interruption of pregnancy in second trimester based on genetic indication from decision of a woman if continue or interrupt the pregnancy all the way to nursery care during hospitalization. The aim of the thesis is to find out the factors, which influenced women in making their decision about interruption of pregnancy in second trimester a to find out their satisfaction with nursery care and attitude of birth assistants during hospitalization.In theoretical part the findings obtained from bibliographic sources were generalized. In practical part was done research for which was used qualitative method in form of questioning. For data collection technique was chosen structured interview. Interviews were done in department of conservative gynecology of Gynecological- obstetric clinic of Faculty Hospital in Pilsen in January, February and March of 2013. The focus group were five women, which were hospitalized here in that time with diagnosis of interruption in second trimester based on genetic indication. Obtained data were then categorized and for its interpretation some respondents´ citation were used.With research was found, that the decision making about interruption is influenced mainly by results of prenatal examination, standpoint of the partner and family and also suggestion of gynecologist. The decision is indirectly influenced by moral principles and conscience and also personal experience with damaged child.

Effect of Selected Substances on the Respiratory System of Rat in Vivo and in Vitro
Kottová, Martina ; Pourová, Jana (advisor) ; Herink, Josef (referee) ; Nosálová, Gabriela (referee)
BACKGROUND: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways in which a number of cells and cellular elements play a role. It is a lifetime disease which is not completely curable. Many factors contribute to the pathogenesis of asthma, oxidative stress being an important one. In healthy humans, the toxicity of free radicals is inhibited by enzymatic and non-enzymatic systems. In asthmatics, the function of these endogenous systems is impaired. Despite treatment, asthma morbidity and mortality steadily increases. The search for new drugs can be based on the knowledge of the pathological changes associated with the disease, and can also be inspired by folk medicine. As regards the latter approach, new, more potent substances could be obtained by isolation and chemical modification of natural products. The aim of this doctoral thesis was to elucidate the effects of selected substances on the respiratory system of rats by in vivo and in vitro methods. We investigated the effects of orally administered α-tocopherol on the lung response in an in vivo rat model of allergic asthma. The second part of this thesis deals with natural quinazoline alkaloids (Justicia adhatoda standardized extract, vasicine, vasicinone) and their synthetic analogues, and their relaxant effects on an isolated rat trachea. The...

Factors Affecting Metabolism of Anthelmintics
Forstová, Veronika ; Skálová, Lenka (advisor) ; Machala, Miroslav (referee) ; Chládek, Jaroslav (referee)
Nowadays, anthelmintic therapy is the main method in the fight with parasitic worms. Anthelmintics, as well as other xenobiotics, undergo structural changes by effect of biotransformation enzymes, when lipophilic substances are transformed to polar substances more easily eliminable from the organism. Generally, biological effects of metabolites and parent compound are different. Activity of biotransformation enzymes is thus the fundamental factor influencing velocity of detoxification and elimination of the compound from the body and duration of drug effect as well. Modulation of biotransformation enzymes' activities can lead to changes in pharmacokinetic parameters of drug itself as well as other xenobiotics and thus to the risk of decrease in desired effect and/or increase in adverse effects with corresponding impact on the quality of drug therapy. In addition, possible risk of drug residues' presence in animal products has to be considered in farm animals. Biotransformation of xenobiotics is affected by many physiological as well as pathological factors. These factors can be divided into inter-individual (species, gender, genetic polymorphism) and intra-individual (age, diet, medication, disease, etc.). All these factors cause wide variability in occurrence and activity of biotransformation...

Professional development and further education of teachers
Votavová, Pavla Marie ; Šerák, Michal (referee) ; Mužík, Jaroslav (advisor)
The further education of teachers' is a very complex area. Its development started in previous centuries. The importance of this area is not decreasing. On the contrary, it is still rising. In spite of the clear importance of the further education, the fact is that it is one of the least solved areas. Questions connected with these problems touch many branches. One of such questions is who and how should teach teachers and what kinds of methods and forms are the most proper. Very important is also the solution of legal support, either the fact that the further education is not legally established or the certification of training programmes. Teachers used to be respected by the whole society. Without re-establishing of this original view the situation can not change. One of the possible ways is that of introducing the system of attestations. But primarily it is a question of suitable financial and legislative support form the government. Support of the whole society is of the same importance. It is for its welfare that teachers work
