Emergency action plan in case of accident with ammonia leak at the Winter Stadium Kotlina Havlíčkův Brod
ZEZULOVÁ, Jana
The amount of ammonia used for cooling stadiums is usually lower than the limits stated in annex to the Act about prevention of fatal accidents caused by dangerous chemical substances, and for this reason the stadiums aren't subject to such strict security procedures determined by the law. However, these are places where big amounts of people can gather in a certain moment, thus in case of accident and ammonia leak, the health condition of many people could be threatened, given the fact that some of them don't even realise how to behave in such a situation. In the introduction of my thesis I focused my attention on the issues of extraordinary events, dangerous substances and products, on the legislation concerning the sphere of chemical substances and protection of population and accidents associated with the spills of dangerous substances. My work also contains the characteristics and description of ammonia and computer programmes used for modelling of consequences of accidents associated with spills of dangerous chemical substances. In the practical part of my thesis I simulated an accident with ammonia leak from Winter Stadium Kotlina in Havlíčkův Brod using the programming tool TerEx and from the results that I obtained I suggested a ?emergency action plan" targeting the analysis of eventual evacuation of pupils and pedagogical staff from the neighbouring primary schools. I used interviews with headmasters of primary schools for the purposes of this analysis. Furthermore, I analysed the population's level of awareness and knowledge of the problem (people living in the area of simulated zone of danger) and pedagogical staff from the neighbouring primary schools in the issues of correct practice in case of ammonia leak from the winter stadium. A part of thesis is a leaflet warning processed and an information poster intended for the population living in Havlíčkův Brod about correct practice in case of release of hazardous chemicals.

Counseling for women in climacteric.
GALLASOVÁ, Martina
Climacterium is a period of the woman´s life when it comes, little by little, to the loss of the ovary function. The begin of this period is different with individual women and may be affected by some factors, as for instance by experienced illnesses, nourishment condition or by family disposition. Symptomatology of the diseases connected with climactorium may be various, but it need not appear with all women to the full extent. Therefore, the consulting service is very important for the women in the period of climacterium. A woman well informed about the possible menopausal symptoms, about medical or alternative possibilities concerning the influence of undesirable menopausal diseases and also the precautionary programmes preventing the development of heavy illnesses will be better prepared for the coming climacterium and will be able to live this period of life in equanimity and piece. The theoretic part of the work provides basic information about the problems of climacterium. It deals with the explication of the term climacterium, its individual phases, with etiopatogenesis and endocrinology of menopause, with symptomatology, diagnostics, therapy and with the style of life in the climacterium period. In the practical part, the informedness level of women concerning the climacterium problems was examined.

Side Effects of Radiotherapy and Patients´ Awareness of these Effects
CHMELÍKOVÁ, Helena
Oncology diseases belong to one of the most serious worldwide health problems. Each third citizen of the Czech Republic has a malign tumour in the course of life. One of the main methods of oncology disease treatment is radiotherapy. Ionizing radiation is used for the treatment but it also brings some undesirable side effects. In the practical part I focused especially on patients´ awareness of undesirable side effects of the treatment. To gain information I elaborated a questionnaire, which was filled in by 250 patients from the whole Czech Republic. The research was anonymous for both patients and hospitals, where the research was carried out. The most of patients say that the gained information is sufficient. However, 57 per cent of patients add that they would appreciate more information from other resources, especially leaflets and the Internet. The other important part of the thesis is a leaflet which informs on radiotherapy itself and on side effects and possibilities of treatment.

Awareness and attitudes of Mydlovary residents resulting from risks of radioactivity leak from the former uranium ore processing plant MAPE Mydlovary
HUSOVÁ, Iva
In South Bohemia, near the Czech town of České Budějovice, in close vicinity of municipalities of Mydlovary, Nákří, Olešník, Zahájí and Dívčice, there are 286 ha of uranium tailings impoundments, along with the former uranium ore processing plant known as MAPE Mydlovary. Althought this company terminated its operation in 1991, significant tailings impoundments contaminants, such as dust, radon emissions and gamma radiation are being found here. Nevertheless, radon emissions still represent a risk to the population in the neighborhood and airborne radon poses a risk also to other areas. Therefore, residents in a wide neighbourhood have long been loaded with increased doses of radiation. The thesis deals with negative consequences of the former uranium ore processing plant MAPE Mydlovary on human health and also describes the process of clearing works in progress in the locality. In this thesis, the level of awareness of Mydlovary residents, their opinions and attitudes to the damaged area are also mentioned. The theoretical part of the thesis is focused first on a brief description and history of the former uranium ore plant, the consequences of the MAPE Mydlovary activities and associated risks (e.g. higher doses of radon), which put inhabitants of nearby villages under threat. The next section provides information on the residents´ attitudes to decontamination works performed at the site and associated problems. The practical part of this thesis is devoted to the research, the aim was to determine if and to what extent Mydlovary residents are aware of the potential damage to land, water, air, and a possible negative impact on their health. The research also provides information on the residents´ attitudes to decontamination works at the site and about the preferred usage of the damaged area after decontamination is completed. The research was conducted by addressing 73 residents of Mydlovary in the period from January to March 2010. The results prove a relatively high awareness of Mydlovary residents about negative effects of radioactive substances and hazardous contaminants on their health, and also point to a lack of the respondents´ awareness about decontamination works and outline the current worries of Mydlovary residents.

Safety and crisis management in the town of Český Krumlov
BŘEZINA, Čestmír
In the past decades, not only natural disasters, but also other extreme events have threatened the mankind and people have to be ready to solve these events. Extreme events can be caused by the unpredictable weather such as floods and freshets, epidemics, bulk infections of animals, fires, explosions, toxic substance release into the air, collective accidents in the traffic, interruption of supply of electric power, water, gas, heating, collapse of telecommunication and information net, radiation emergency, terrorist attacks etc. It is not possible to underestimate extreme events and it is necessary to thoroughly prepare on the possibility of their occurence and on precautions in connection with their removal, eventually with the elimination of their consequences. Regarding to the fact, that the inhabitans of the town of Český Krumlov are endangered by potential extreme events all the time, in the past decades these have been mainly floods and other natural disasters, that is why the organs of crisis task force and the bodies of IRS (Integrated Rescue Service) have to be maximally prepared to solve such events. Nevertheless the primary aim is the protection of people {--} the protection of their lives, health, properties, but also the protection of infrastructure and environment is important. That all is also related with maximal readiness and awareness of the population of potential risks of occurence of extreme events. Only in this case, the people would be able to behave correctly in the given situations and therefore intensify their security. On the base of results of the quantitative research and the subject analysis, it has been found out, that inhabitans of the town of Český Krumlov are not prepared on eventual occurence of extreme events at all and they are not offered any possibilities how to get the necessary information. That is why I have suggested arrangements how to eliminate these problems, in general how to improve the communication and the standart of providing services to the inhabitants concerning the field of eventual occurence of extreme events. These arrangements can serve for bodies of crisis task force managment so that they could be inspired in how to intesify the quality of security and how to better the crisis mamagement of the town of Český Krumlov.

The protection of a territory of the municipality with extended competence in case of a special flood
PROISL, Ivo
This bachelor thesis focuses mainly on protection of the population against effects of a special flood and it partly uses experience from natural floods in the past years. The protection against a special flood is in this thesis mostly applied to the territory of the town of Český Krumlov, the municipality with extended competence, situated downstream the Lipno hydraulic structure. One chapter describes the current situation and lists the floods experienced in the past years; another chapter deals with inputs for definition of floodplains and territories threatened by a special flood and describes basic activities of flood management bodies and owners of hydraulic structures. One section of the chapter on the current situation summarizes basic characteristics of the Lipno hydraulic structure and components of the Integrated Rescue System on the territory of the municipality with extended competence Český Krumlov. One of the objectives of the thesis was the evaluation of awareness and knowledge among the town residents; another objective was to verify how elaborate the individual inputs are and to evaluate the scope of consequences of a special flood downstream the mentioned hydraulic structure. The data about the knowledge were acquired by means of questionnaires and evaluated in form of diagrams. A qualitative method of research was used to evaluate how elaborate the individual measures are; in order to determine the scope of the special flood I compared the planned numbers of evacuated residents with the numbers of residents actually evacuated during the natural flood in 2002. The acquired results have shown that the existing documentation is sufficiently elaborate, however, it is essential to update it on a running basis. It is also necessary to improve the level of awareness among the general public. Other results have confirmed that the size of the territory endangered with a special flood is substantial and incomparably larger than in case of natural floods.

Impact of statute 108/2006 Sb., about social services, to senior´s taking social sevices
RUDKOVÁ, Eva
By raising living standards and the health care level, our citizens live longer lives, which is a favourable criterion of social climate. To ensure the funding of necessary social services to senior citizens, the Social Services Act No. 108/2006 Coll. can be applied to provide seniors with care allowance. Care allowance is a state benefit provided to individuals in difficult social situations, who are dependent on assistance from other individuals. The purpose of this benefit is to allow a person to arrange for a necessary assistance according to his/her own deliberation, either within a family or through a social services provider in the form of a particular social service, or by means of another person or a legal personality. The theoretical part of my thesis is focused mainly on aspects of aging, the Social Services Act, and primarily on the care allowance. In the practical part I mainly dealt with the impact of Act No. 108/2006 Coll. on drawing and use of social services by seniors. I wanted to identify the attitude of the elderly to social services. How and to what extent they use the services, if they receive a care allowance and if they properly understand its purpose. For my research I chose the method of a questionnaire survey. In the course of the months of June and July 2010, 100 seniors living in the Prachatice region were addressed. The research has proved that seniors feel sufficiently informed about the range of social services in their neighborhood and that they are satisfied with their quality. The research has shown that social services are being used far more by the elderly who receive a care allowance. The most popular are residential care homes and out-of-home care. A large proportion of the elderly also use unofficial services, provided by a close relative. Most seniors who do not draw a care allowance do not use any kind of social services. The results also show that women care about social services in a much larger percentage than men. I would like to see my work used for further research on this topic and also for educational purposes. It could help social services providers in the assessment which groups of potential clients they should focus on and so to increase their awareness of the range of social services available.

Women´s awareness on prevention and treatment possibilities for vulvovaginal infections
TRNOVCOVÁ, Martina
Women´s awareness on prevention and treatment possibilities for vulvovaginal infections. The thesis on `` Women´s awareness on prevention and treatment possibilities for vulvovaginal infections was worked out by a research technique. The thesis is divided into two sections {--} theoretical and practical. The theoretical section is subdivided into thirteen main chapters. The introduction gives information on the current state of knowledge and is followed by a brief description of external and internal female genitals. Much attention is paid to pathophysiology of vulvovaginal infections and their classification. The issues of viral vulnovaginitis and Bartholin glands inflammation are not omitted. In the main chapter diagnostic possibilities and methods in the treatment of vulvovaginal infections and diagnostic criteria are surveyed. Another chapter deals with therapy of vulvovaginal infections mentioned and the description of supportive preparatives used to stabilize vaginal medium. An important part of the thesis is a chapter giving account of prevention possibilities and the role of a midwife in nursing care for a woman suffering from gynaecological inflammations mentioned. In the final chapter information on the nursing process in women with inflammatory diseases of vulva and vagina is given. The objective of the thesis was to learn about the awareness of prevention possibilities and treatment of vulvovaginal infections in women of reproductive age. Two hypotheses were stated: Hypothesis 1 assumed that women are not informed about vulvovaginal infections possible prevention. Hypothesis 2 assumed that women are informed about the possibilities of vulvovaginal infections treatment. To verify or reject the hypotheses the questionnaire method was used. The questionnaire included 29 questions. Total 170 questionnaires were distributed, 156 of which came back filled in, i.e. 92%. Hypothesis 1 was rejected by the research, hypothesis 2 was confirmed. The results obtained may be published at specialist seminars focused on education of midwives and gynaecologists working in both in-patient and out-patient departments. They may also contribute to enhancement of women{\crq} s awareness.

Position and Tasks of Population Protection included in the Integrated Rescue System
PICEK, Vladimír
The present bachelor's thesis aims at finding out the state of knowledge of the general public, various age groups or obtained training of the Czech inhabitants in what to do in an emergency situation when lives, health or property of people is in threat or the environment, and it does so using a questionnaire survey. It also aims at making the general public familiar with the position of the population protection, tasks and measures of the Integrated Rescue System corpses, general recommendations when we find ourselves in any emergency situation, or an extraordinary situation The results of the bachelor's thesis will be used by the Fire and Rescue Brigade of the South-Bohemian Region, presenting and introducing population protection and the Integrated Rescue System to the general public. For meeting the objectives and proving the hypothesis I used an anonymous questionnaire which makes up a part of the bachelor's thesis and the aim of which was to find out and to question knowledge of the general public in the area of population protection. At present, the population protection in the Czech Republic is at a good European level, but we still need to speak with our neighbours, we live in a hectic way and we lack energy for a friendly neighbourly relationship, or even organizing and solving problems despite the fact that there are still few emergency situations, but we cannot exclude that it will not change in the future. That is why it is very important that if an emergency situation happens, the general public learn about it in time and they get professional or practical training rather than depending on decisions made at the place of intervention.

Students of 1st and 2nd class of basic school - awareness of dog ethology.
PETŘÍKOVÁ, Šárka
ABSTRACT Nowadays, more and more often we hear about children who are attacked by dogs. The media constantly inform us about fighting breeds and their attacks on humans. Number of dogs in the household significantly increases and posibility of injury of the child by our four-legged partner is increasing too. This situation requires a solution. Media accused of assaulting an animal, unfortunately very often the culprit is not even a dog or child. Thesis on ?The awareness of pupils of first and second class ofthe first level of basic schools on the ethology of dogs ? is based on the author's practical experience with objective reality. The author herself, which is devoted to dogs more than 15 years, also tried to capture the degree of knowledge of school age children on the natural behavior of our four-legged domestic ?pets?. Through her own research, conducted by standardized questionnaires at selected basic schools in the South Bohemia region (in total 284 respondents) reveals the primary mistakes committed by these children in contact with their own or strange dog. The theoretical part is devoted to common cohabitation of children (or people) and dogs. Various chapters are focused on the historical evolution of domestic dog, the coexistence of humans and dogs, and communication sinals, which they use to interact among themselvest, but also on the impact of a dog on the psyche of the child. The research revealed significant gaps in knowledge regarding children's innate behavior of the dog. For this reason children can not adequately respond to a signal that is sent by a dog, so there can arise a hazardous situation between them. At the end of thesis the author proposes a practical solution that could serve as a basic for a new educational program aimed at preventiv injuries caused by dogs attack the children.
