Are scouts really more honest?
Sedlická, Monika ; Zajíček, Miroslav (advisor) ; Tříska, Dušan (referee)
Using two experiments, where children either rolled dice or solved a matrix task, we examined whether scouts are more honest than non-scouts. In the first experiment, participants completed a matrix task. The papers were then shredded, and participants self-reported the number they had correctly solved. After analysing the results, we found that 10.81 % of scouts and 13.04 % of non-scouts lied. This difference, between the honesty of scouts and non-scouts, was not statistically significant. There was no perceived effect from being scout on the individual's honesty, as well as from taking the scout promise, or years of experience in a scout organization on the scout's honesty. In the second experiment, participants rolled the dice privately. According to value rolled, participants could either take (1, 2, 3), or leave (4, 5, 6), a Kinder chocolate reward. Statistically, participants would be expected to take the reward 50 % of the time. This was the case for the scouts group, the results did not differ statistically from 50:50, but not for the non-scouts. However, the difference between scouts and non-scouts was not statistically significant, indicating that there is no significant difference in honesty between scouts and non-scouts. Thus, our hypothesis that scouts are more honest than non-scouts was not supported.

Obesity in children of school age from the perspective of nurses working in GP
BURSÍKOVÁ, Drahoslava
Abstract Obesity in School Children from the Point of View of a Nurse Working in a GP's Surgery The thesis focuses on the problems of nursing care of children with overweight and obesity. This issue is very urgent nowadays, not only in the Czech Republic, but it is a global problem. Our country holds one of the leading positions in children obesity. Children suffering from overweight and obesity have not only health problems resulting from obesity complications, but also problems in the field of psyche and social relations, particularly among their peers. This is why the right insight into the issue and finding an acceptable solution for the future is so important. The theoretical part deals with the problems of children obesity, the specifics of nursing care of these children within a surgery of a general paediatrician. It also focuses on the needs of children with normal weight and on the needs of overweight children. Four aims were set within the research. The first aim was to map the situation in obesity among school and pre-school children in Benešov District. The second aim was to map services (possibilities of further assistance, treatment) that parents and practitioners may use in treatment of children with overweight and obesity in Benešov District. The third aim was to compare success rate of obesity treatment in children that have already undergone obesity treatment under specialist supervision and success rate of weight reduction in children trying themselves. The fourth aim was to map the problems of cooperation of a nurse with parents and school in treatment of a child with obesity. We used a qualitative research method in the research part of the thesis. The questioning method by means of semi structured interview was applied. Three research samples were prepared for the research purposes. The first research sample consisted of 10 nurses working in paediatrician practitioner surgeries in Benešov District. The second research sample consisted of 10 persons intentionally chosen from among parents of children with obesity that are trying to reduce the weight of their children themselves or under assistance of an obesity specialist. The children were of school and pre-school age. The third research sample consisted of 10 paediatrician practitioners practicing in Benešov District. Open-coding technique paper and pencil method was applied on interview processing. A document analysis was used for the mapping of the services in Benešov District and the whole Central Bohemia Region. Six research questions were set: 1. What are the possibilities of specialist help to obese children? 2. Are parents willing to help their obese children with overweight reduction? 3. Do parents of obese children also have problems with overweight? 4. What experience do nurses from paediatrician practitioner surgeries have with care about obese children? 5. What does cooperation between parents and a nurse from a paediatrician practitioner surgery looks like? 6. How does a nurse working in a paediatrician practitioner's surgery cooperates with the school? The thesis conclusion shows that the problem of children obesity is not just the matter of Benešov District, but it is a global problem, it is urgent and has an increasing trend.

The influence of nursing documentation audit on nursing care quality
MACHÁČKOVÁ, Eva
Abstrakt The keeping of nursing documentation is an inseparable part of the work of a nurse. It is an instrument of professional practice, which is intended to support the process of care. The quality of the keeping of the nursing documentation is a reflection of the level of professional practice. The nursing documentation is an invaluable manner of supporting communication within the framework of the health care team and between the health workers and their patients/clients. Well kept nursing documentation is thus the product of good teamwork and at the same time an important instrument for increasing the quality of care. An audit is one of the parts of the management process and its final aim is to incease the quality of the provided care. An audit can play an important role during the delivery of the quality of the provided care and this is also true for the process of the keeping of the nursing documentation. During an audit of the kept documentation areas are identified where it is intended to ensure the improvement and education of the staff. The theoretical part the work also includes chapters related to the given problems that is the nursing aim, the nursing process, the nursing documentation, the quality of nursing care and the nursing audit. In the research part I deal with the influence of the audit of the nursing documentation on the quality of the provided nursing care. The aim of my research is to ascertain the influence of the standard of the nursing documentation on the quality of nursing care and to ascertain whether the results of the audit of the nursing documentation help the nurses in the wards to improve the quality of the provided nursing care. During the research my first hypothesis that the quality of the nursing care is increased by the carrying out of a standard ``Unified keeping of nursing documentation`` was confirmed and 26 of the questionned nurses (57%) agreed with it. The second hypothesis, that the quality of the nursing care is increased by the introduction of an audit of the nursing documentation into practice, was not confirmed. Only 18 of the interviewed nurses (39%) think that the introduced audit of the nursing documentation into practice is an increase in the quality of the nursing care. In order to obtain the required data to accomplish the aims and answer the hypothesis of quantitative research I used a method of auditing and an enquiry method using questionnaires. The research sample made up 50 (100%) of the examination documentation from five selected wards of Pelhřimov Hospital. The body of research in the case of the questionnaires was made by the nurses, working in the wards, where the audit of the nursing documentation was carried out. In total 46 of the nurses (100%) from all the assigned clinics took part in the survey. The results of the research were placed at the disposal of the administration of Pelhřimov Hospital, as a pilot study for the creation of their own complex standard and audit of the nursing documentation.

Safety factor evaluation for an out-of-plane frame under static loading
Málek, Michal ; Profant, Tomáš (referee) ; Burša, Jiří (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with evaluation of safety factor of a space frame when being statically loaded. This examination was demonstrated on a particular example. In order to solve the above mentioned, we exploit the frame symmetry. Unknown parameters were identified from deformation conditions in the point of intersection of the symmetry plane and the frame centreline, where the shift and two turning angles equal zero, and further by means of Maxwell- Mohr variant of Castigliano's theorem for determination of the frame deformation. The basis for calculations of stresses was represented by the theory of combined bar loading, particularly combination of bending and torsion. When examining the frame safety we took into consideration mainly dangerous points possibly occuring through cranks and fixed supports, where stress concentration occurs. The results of analytical solution were verified by numerical calculation in program ANSYS 10.0.

The Influence of a Foreign Language on the Communication in the Bilingual Teaching of Mathematics
Ernyeiová, Jana ; Novotná, Jarmila (advisor) ; Pokorná, Věra (referee) ; Nýdl, Václav (referee)
This work refers to the topic of bilingual mathematics education. It is focused on monitoring the communicational influences of teacher's and pupil's language, categorization of the disturbing effects and possibilities, how the teacher should prepare for them and how to solve them. A significant role plays the reflection of the teacher, as the results were done on the basis of action research during teaching in England, Germany and the Czech Republic. The teaching was realized in a second language as well for the teacher as for the pupils. The teacher was at the same time experimenter as well as author of this work. The theoretical part results from dealing with scientific literature about bilingualism, bilingual education, methodology of CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning), relations between first language, language of mathematics and the foreign language. In the practical part an analysis of lessons performed in mathematics with the subject of probability is carried out. The teaching was focused on playing a game with dice and deciding whether the game is fair or not. The lessons were audio taped and transcriptions of the spoken language were made. An analysis of the language, teacher's mistakes, communicational interference, proportional relations on communication of the pupils and of the...

Software package for polyhedra operation
Steffanová, Veronika ; Hladík, Milan (advisor) ; Cibulka, Josef (referee)
Title: Software package for polyhedra operation Author: Veronika Steffanová Department: Department of Applied Mathematics Supervisor: Mgr. Milan Hladík, Ph.D., Department of Applied Mathematics Abstract: The topic of the thesis is focused on convex polyhedra and algorithms for working with them. At first we give the theorem about vertex and facet description and then we describe selected algorithms connected to the problem of the conversion between these two descriptions. In the practical part we implement three functions using three selected algorithms and a few other functions, which are simple results of the three algorithms. Finally we get a MATLAB library, which contains functions for vertex enumeration, facet enumeration, convex union of two polyhedra, intersection of two polyhedra and irredudancy problem for facets and vertices, too. By the way we compare our two implemented algorithms for facet enumeration, but not only accor- ding the running time, also according the memory requirements and the implemen- tation complexity. Keywords: polyhedron, MATLAB, linear programming, convex hull 1

Sensorless control of revolutions and position of DC motor
Kakáč, Petr ; Minář, Jiří (referee) ; Prajzner, Václav (advisor)
This thesis deals with the management and control of DC brush motors used in Honeywell actuators. The introduction describes the types of DC brush motors and possibilities of regulation. We chose the method of compensation of the load characteristics. The basic requirement for this job is a requirement to ensure constant engine speed under various load torque. For this requirement it is necessary to develop a mathematical model of the static engine, calculate, verify that the motor constants and, not least, the implementation of the static model for a given engine. The work focuses on the limits of such an engine control or the limitations that we created conditions in practice.)

Compiler of Language of Mathematical Function
Junek, Lukáš ; Horáček, Petr (referee) ; Čermák, Martin (advisor)
In this thesis, we are dealing with construction of Interpreter of Language of Mathematical function. We constructed all parts of interpreter, which involved processing and execution of source code. The main part of my thesis is implementation of computer operations with matrices using SSE instructions. For this purpose, we used interface by Intel. There in a special header file are defined the functions corresponding to each instruction. However, functions not only to calculate, but perform support operations, which eliminate some annoying features of assembler.
