BALOGOVÁ, Renata
Evaluation of indicators of nursing care quality was the aim of the research. The indicators chosen for the research were satisfaction of patients with the care, evaluation of self sufficiency, state of nutrition and pain. Most of the respondents answered positively in the evaluation of satisfaction with nursing care. 64 % of all the respondents chose the answer satisfied, 36 % chose rather satisfied. None of the respondents chose the possibilities average satisfaction, rather dissatisfied or dissatisfied in the overall evaluation of the physician and nursing care. Hypothesis 1: Patients are satisfied with the care at the SCD was confirmed. Self sufficiency level evaluation ? in the total sum of all the fiends 32.1 % of respondents moved from the level moderately dependent on nursing care to the category slightly dependent on nursing care. The situation in the categories highly dependent and totally dependent on nursing care did not change. Hypothesis 2: The level of self sufficiency in SCD patients is improving during the monitored period was confirmed. The nutrition level improved in the monitored period. In the overall nutrition score sum 14.4 % more respondents were in the lowest category (0-3 scores) after a month of evaluation then at the admittance. Hypothesis 3: The state of nutrition is improving during the monitored period was confirmed. Evaluation of pain at the SCD ? 59.4 % of the respondents reported pain, 39.5 % of whom had the pain at 1 VAS, 34.2 % of the respondents had the pain at 2 VAS, 15.8 % reported the pain at 3 VAS, 5.25 % at 4 VAS and 5.25 % and of the respondents reported their pain at 5 VAS. After administration of pain killers the pain does not exceed 2 VAS. Upon all the above results Hypothesis 4: Pain in SCD patients does not exceed 3 on VAS was confirmed. A summary of selected quality indicators with the method of their evaluation will be the outcome of the bachelor thesis.

Hudečková, Michaela ; Pánek, Pavel (advisor) ; Kříž, Josef (referee)
My bachelor´s thesis deals with the characteristics of administration procedures as well as with explanations of important notions in this field. In the theoretical part of my thesis I focus on basic terminology which is used in modelling of administration procedures. Next there are notions concerning the quality of administration procedures explained and consequently I describe several examples of methods how to increase the quality and audit. After this I describe individual administration procedures which are divided into two groups: inward and outward. The practical part of my thesis deals with the characteristics of Provident company, Ltd. and its company procedures. Characterize the process of accounting for subsequent processes that are associated with it. All described processes will focus on the administrative department of the Prague branch north. On the basis of found information and procedure analysis, my thesis brings several suggestions for the improvement of such procedures in the company.

The History and Activities of the Town and Country Planning Department of The Ressearch Institute for Building and Architecture in Brno
Žáčková, Markéta ; Chatrný, Jindřich (referee) ; Ing.arch.Igor Kovačevič, Ph.D. (referee) ; Doležel, Karel (referee) ; Koutný, Jan (advisor)
The dissertation explores the history and activities of the Brno-located Town and Country Planning Department of The Research Institute for Building and Architecture (RIBA) since its foundation in 1954 until its abolishment in 1994. As a part of the department functioning, a description of its main research tasks and publications, which had played an essential part while formulating theory and methodology of urban planning after the 2nd World War in Czechoslovakia, are introduced. Special attention is paid to tasks and publications whose authors and research workers applied interdisciplinary approaches and – in spite of the prevailing totalitarian regime – managed to apply their experience acquired abroad to produce highly influential works such as The Principles and Rules of Spatial Planning. Another objective of the dissertation is the creation of a complex bibliography of texts that were produced by the department (books, reports on the outcomes of research tasks that had been explored at the Town and Country Planning Department and that were released internally as handbooks serving research workers of the institute and other institutions focusing on building and architecture). Depictions of the Brno department of RIBA from the perspective of two of its significant representatives who have outlived the institution they had witnessed to be founded and to the functioning of which they had significantly contributed, become a key part of the text: Ing. arch. Vladimír Matoušek, CSc., the second head of the Town and Country Planning Department of RIBA and Ing. arch. Dušan Riedl, CSc., a theoretician of architecture and urban planning and a top expert on Czech national herritage. As the topic has not yet been subjected to scholarly research, the main objective of the work is to create the very first complex text on the Brno department of RIBA and its activities. The circumstances surrounding the constitution of RIBA in the context of other similarly functioning research institutes are pursued with a special focus on the fields of building, architecture and urban planning as well as legislative embedding of its foundation and functioning, its organization structure, staff, definition of taskmasters and the way the tasks were approached, relations to other institutions in the field, publishing activities and transfer of theoretical research outcomes to practice. The text also deals with the state of present-day research of architecture and urban planning. Archive material and publications released by the institute represent a predominant source of information about RIBA activities. They are now stored at the archive of ABF Foundation in Prague (the foundation has been administering both the archive and library of the Prague department of RIBA since its abolishment), at the library of The Institute for Spatial Development in Brno (the institute administers the library of the former Brno department) and at the Moravian Land Archive in Brno. Both of the archives have been thoroughly researched by the author. Critical reflections upon the urban-planning department of RIBA occurring in contemporary publications and periodicals are another important source of information which help to specify the character of its activities (recent literature mentions RIBA scarcely, a complex evaluation is still missing). Oral history reported by former employees of RIBA, who had contributed to the first-rate quality of its research activities.

Types of production in Czech Television with focus on commisioning work to external producers.
Hirsch, Cyril ; Myslík, Václav (advisor) ; Svoboda, Otakar (referee)
Czech Television has long been one of the biggest co-producers of Czech film. At the same time, however, it is also one of the main organisations to commission work from freelance producers in the production of audiovisual creation. It is therefore highly likely that most of the graduates of the Department of Production (and other departments at the Film and TV School of the Academy of Performing Arts ? ?FAMU?) meet each other in their professional lives at Czech Television sooner or later. A good understanding of the individual types of production at this institution should be an inherent part of the knowledge of film school graduates. Novice independent producers and authors are undoubtedly interested in the criteria for commissioning work or the possibility of co-production, what the set-up is like and what decides on how it all looks. The primary aim of this paper is to come up with a sort of ?manual? for freelance producers and authors to help them find their way around this issue. The second aim of the paper is somewhat more general. I will attempt to examine the freelance commission and co-production of an audiovisual piece of work within the context of public service television.

Programmed labour as seen through the eyes of the women giving births in Jindřichův Hradec maternity hospital
MACHOVÁ, Jitka
The objective of today´s obstetrics is to turn childbirth into an exceptional family event. One of the methods currently employed in obstetrics is the choice of programmed labour, which introduces artificially induced uterine activity that is to terminate physiological term pregnancy at ideal time and under ideal conditions for everybody, the mother, fetus/newborn, woman in labour´s relatives, and nursing staff. Programmed labour is a highly controversial issue because it involves childbirth induction on the ground of non-medical indications. The programmed labour is supported as well as opposed by both, medical professionals and general public. The objective of this bachelor´s thesis was to find out how the programmed labour is perceived by women who have chosen to terminate their pregnancies on a programmed basis; what knowledge of programmed labour they have and what experience with it they have. The empirical part is based on a qualitative research. The data were gathered by semi-structured interview, which was held with selected women in labour at the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics of the Hospital Jindřichův Hradec. Selection criterion was defined as women in programmed labour. Holding the interviews with individual respondents resulted in completion of case reports. These served as a research base for categorisation tables, which comprise of important outcomes of the research. The research was carried out in terms of defined objectives and research questions. All objectives defined in the thesis were met; questions were answered and information retrieved. Based on the research outcomes, six hypotheses were proposed. The main outcome of the research is that the respondents have knowledge of the term "programmed labour". Also, they are aware of some of the advantages relating to mental area and they are satisfied with choosing programmed labour. What these women are not aware of is the disadvantages of programmed labour. Following the research, a draft of informed consent was made up for women in labour so that they receive full information about programmed labour and can agree with pre-induction and induction of the childbirth. In order to secure provision of quality nursing care during a programmed labour, guidelines containing standard procedure of nursing care provided to women in programmed labour were created. Both materials are to be used in the delivery room of the Hospital Jindřichův Hradec.

Politika kvantitativního uvolňování jako možná příčina budoucí finanční krize
Náhlík, Tomáš
This thesis deals with the issue of quantitative easing and the risks associated with this policy. Specifically, it is analysing the possibility of a price bubble in the stock market and real estate market as a result of quantitative easing. To identify the presence of a speculative bubble in the stock market are used indicators CAPE and Tobin's Q. It is also analysed the development of the loans granted to purchase shares. For the evaluation of real estate prices is used the ratio between the index of real estate prices and rents index. It also analyses the evolution of the number of newly issued homes and their sales. The values of those indicators show that the stock market is currently highly overvalued. On the contrary, the real estate market situation does not depart from the norm. The main result of this thesis is identification of overvaluation of the US stock market and putting into context with quantitative easing.

Quality of mammographic images and mammographic projections
VOSTŘÁKOVÁ, Michaela
Mammographic examination is highly important considering that breast cancer is the most frequent carcinoma in women in the Czech Republic. Of course, the quality of mammographic images depends on all parts of the imaging chain including a proper scanning technique and proper positioning of the patient as the breast should be sufficiently captured in the highest extent possible, including the pectoral muscle. Proper exposure and general quality of the images are also necessary in order to show discrete calcifications that may be the single sign of any pathological process in the breast. This thesis is aimed at evaluating the quality of mammographic imaging at two screening departments. One department has undergone complete digitization, the other applies classical film-based mammography. Mammography devices were replaced with digital ones at the film-based mammography department during this research. The result of this work consists in comparing the imaging quality at both these departments, completed with comparison of film-based and digital mammography at the department where the devices were replaced.

Unemployment and its impact on number of elective surgeries at surgery department
HÁLOVÁ, Magdaléna
SUMMARY A surgery ward is one of the crucial departments in the České Budějovice Hospital. It provides a highly specialized care not only to patients from the district of České Budějovice, but also to people from the whole South-Bohemian region. Nearly 4,000 patients are treated in this ward every year. In my work I focused on a group of people who are able to work, but at the time of hospitalization they had no job and were registered in the employment agency and they came to the surgical ward for optional surgeries. The reasons why they did so could be as follows: they either neglected the care of their health due to a large amount of tasks at work, or they postponed the surgery since they were worried that they could lose their job due to a long sick leave. The objective of the work was to identify the influence of employment on decisions of clients to undergo surgeries. Questionnaires were used to gather data; they were distributed to patients hospitalized in the surgical ward of Nemocnice České Budějovice a.s. (the České Budějovice Hospital). The hypothesis which assumed that people registered in the employment agency for a short time have more surgeries than people registered in the employment agency for a long time was confirmed in the degree work. The second hypothesis assuming that people registered in the employment agency have more optional surgeries than employed people was confirmed as well. The third hypothesis where I assumed that the fees charged for hospital stays would influence the length of hospitalization of unemployed people was not confirmed since political changes resulted in the conclusion of a donation agreement between Nemocnice České Budějovice, a.s. and the South-Bohemian region; the agreement enables people to take advantage of the South-Bohemian region{\crq}s donation to cover the hospital fees starting from 1 February 2009. The results of my work could be used as arguments in solving the unemployment policy.
