NÁPRAVNÍKOVÁ, Veronika
The thesis deals with the application of creative methods and forms of work during reading and literature lessons in the 2nd and 3rd grades of elementary school. The main focus is on good orientation in contemporary professional literature, alternative textbooks and methodical guides. The thesis is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part presents teaching of reading from the pedagogical-psychological point of view, it focuses on didactical-methodical aspects, on the problem of intensification of teaching in reading and literature lessons possibilities of modernization, optimization, rationalization and efficiency. In the practical part I introduce interesting methods and forms of work, new unconventional model approaches and effective methodical management of the teaching process. The thesis is enriched with attractive techniques for practising and deepening one's knowledge.

Teambuilding in nursing practice
PÍŽOVÁ, Markéta
This thesis deals with teambuilding in connection with management of changes in clinical practice and in manager practice. The executives in nursing are registered nurse managers, bearers of changes in quality of nursing care. Courses of teambuilding are a part of educational programmes for development of managerial skills of nurses. Teambuilding means both, team education or building of a team, and training focused on support of mutual confidence and team cooperation. A combination of methods of qualitative and quantitative research was chosen to elaborate the empiric part of the paper. The objective of a qualitative part was to find out, how much are the teambuilding courses used in practice and what is the benefit of the courses for the team. The data were obtained by means of a half-standardized interview with 6 respondents who took part in the teambuilding course. Three hypotheses were set on the basis of these interviews. These hypotheses became then a background for the second stage of the research by means of quantitative method. The objectives of quantitative research were to survey nurse managers´ awareness of possibilities of team education, to find out whether the nurses are interested in courses and to reveal obstacles in realization of teambuilding courses in medical facilities. By means of questionnaires for ordinary nurses and for nurse managers we achieved the objectives. The hypothesis about the awareness of nurse managers of the course was not proved. The second hypothesis about the interest of ordinary nurses in teambuilding courses was not proved either. The lack of financial resources was mentioned as the most frequent obstacle for realization of the course. During the collection of the data for the research in management in nursing, a lack of publishing activities of nurse managers was revealed. A lot of interesting information was obtained thanks to the interviews with nurse managers. Publishing of the experience of sister managers with leading and managing nursing teams would become significant contribution and inspiration for other nurses in practice.

Tool to assess the landscape connectivity in different area units and dispersal distances
Chrumko, Adam ; Šímová, Petra (advisor) ; Krčílková, Šárka (referee)
The purpose of this diploma thesis is to introduce a basic summary of landscape connectivity calculations mainly focusing on the Conefor program and the effect of input parameters on output landscape connectivity indices. One of the main goals is to create an ArcMap Toolbox to simplify the calculation of landscape connectivity indices for many areas of interest. Basic squares that cover the whole Czech Republic were chosen as main areas of interest. These units are used for example for mapping the abundance of flora and fauna. The same indices were calculated for NUTS3 and LAU1 areas in order to compare effect of size of input areas. This thesis provides a simple solution in the form of a Python Toolbox for Esri ArcMap to calculate overall indices of landscape connectivity through a Conefor command line application for a large number of input areas. Forest connectivity for different dispersal distances and input areas of interest was calculated with this Toolbox. As an input vector layer of forests, CORINE land cover data from mapping period 1990, 2000, 2006 and 2012 were used. Input dispersal distances were chosen in the range from 50 to 50.000 meters in order to comprehensively describe their effects on indices. Resultant forest and connectivity changes are represented by cartograms; the effect of input data on output indices is shown in graphs.

Electronic auction in healthcare
Vyoral, Marek ; Toth, Štefan (advisor) ; Jan, Jan (referee)
Working with the theoretical part focuses on the regulation of electronic auctions in terms of legislation both Czech and foreign, given that we are members of the European Union. Furthermore, the work explains the possible ways to use electronic auctions, which are mostly used in both the Czech Republic and abroad. At work I also am trying to shed light on the current use of auctions on the auction portal Aukro examples, which is widely used by people for personal use. Finally, the theoretical part I try to outline the future development of electronic auctions. The practical part is focused primarily on its activities in the hospital Pardubice Region, Inc. where I introduced the auction. In several examples, visible results, which not only brings centralization entire purchase, but also the use of electronic auctions as a tool for communication and bidding suppliers with the lowest purchase price for a group of hospitals. The work also draws from the Ministry for Regional Development, which is responsible for the preparation of the most important regulations for electronic auctions in healthcare, namely the Public Procurement Act. Electronic auctions are a tool very interesting, because it is the most transparent way of evaluating procurement by parameters rates. Whether if electronic auction in health care and efficient purchase option will be discussed in this work.

Cell culture-based model for the evaluation of adhesive properties of probiotic bacteria
Theodorou, Vasiliki ; Havlík, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Tauchen, Jan (referee)
Probiotic microorganisms, defined as living microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit to the host, and their adhesion and colonization of intestinal epithelium, are critical factors in maintaining probiotic efficacy. Polyphenols are a large and heterogeneous group of phytochemicals in plant-based foods, such as tea, coffee, wine, cocoa, cereal grains, soy, fruits and berries. In the last decade, there has been much interest in the health benefits of dietary plant polyphenols that arise from their potential ability to promote adhesion of probiotic bacteria to the human intestinal epithelium.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of four polyphenols: isoquercetrin, phloretin, procyanidin B2 and rutin on the adhesion ability of two potentially probiotic strains (Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus gasseri) to in vitro human intestinal epithelial model consisting of Caco-2 and mucus-secreting HT29-MTX co-culture.
The adhesion of Lactobacillus casei after treating the co-culture cell lines with isoquercetrin, phloretin, and rutin was increased by 49.76, 72.97, 63.66 % respectively, whereas procyanidin B2 inhibited the adhesion 20.25% compared with the control sample. The adhesion of Lactobacillus gasseri after treatment of the co-culture with isoquercetrin, phloretin, procyanidin B2 and rutin was increased by 35.45, 31.28, 45.69, 25.01 % respectively compared with the control sample.

Menoušková, Veronika ; Hron, Jan (advisor) ; Pavel, Pavel (referee)
The Thesis deals with the importance of decision-making roles in managerial work. The work consists of two main parts - theoretical and practical. The theoretical part is formed by Literature searches and was drawn up after studying literature. The basic concepts were defined such as management, manager, management role or decision-making process and there was also described the issue of decision-making roles. In these diploma thesis are mentioned the fundamentals of management, managerial functions, roles, leadership styles and how to resolve problems. Literary research forms the theoretical basis for developing own parts. The practical part was prepared under the basis of the research, which was conducted in the selected subject. A questionnaire was prepared for the subordinate of a particular manager. The Questions clarified how subordinates perceived supervisors and their role in decision making. It was examined how often and what problems are solved with the boss, whether the manager creates a friendly environment in the workplace, or whether the manager is interested in the views of subordinates. Simultaneously the manager evaluated himself through a managerial GRID. The responses of both forms of research were compared and then used as the basis for preparation of an overall assessment and to create a conclusion. At the same time it was used as the basis for proposing measures to streamline management. The conclusion summarizes the lessons learned from the evaluation questionnaires and managerial GRID.
