Back pain prevention nurses.
BERANOVÁ, Kristýna
The thesis: Backache Prevention in General Nurses, examines whether general nurses practice backache occurrence prevention. The following goals were set for the quantitative research: Goal 1: To find out whether general nurses are sufficiently informed on backache prevention in performance of their job. Goal 2: To find out whether nurses have an opportunity to participate in preventive programmes focused on backache prevention in the organizations they work for. The following hypotheses were set: Hypothesis 1: Backache, as a symptom of overload is a frequent health problem among general nurses. Hypothesis 2: Nurses practice backache prevention. Hypothesis 3: Nurses regularly keep fit. Hypothesis 4: Nurses that attend seminars or training sessions aimed at backache prevention are sufficiently informed on these problems. Hypothesis 5: Organizations where nurses work provide them with some preventive programme aimed at backache prevention. The method of anonymous questionnaire focused on general nurses working in a hospital was used for confirmation of the hypotheses. After assessment of the quantitative research results we discovered, that the first hypothesis in the quantitative research was confirmed. Hypotheses 2 and 3 were not confirmed by the research. Hypothesis 4 was conformed, nevertheless not many nurses participate in seminars or courses aimed at this issue. Hypothesis 5 was confirmed with the comment that an employer should do more for health of nurses. The research has shown that general nurses are actually aware of how to prevent backache occurrence, however not many of them use that. Neither the employer contributes remarkably to prevention of the fact that healthcare is the profession where backache occurs most frequently of all. I am convinced that thorough training of new healthcare staff should be sufficient for remarkable reduction of backache occurrence. A brochure that will be the output of this thesis may serve this purpose, as well as continuous training by a qualified physiotherapist or a physician together with provision of an all-hospital seminar.

Structure and function of the vanilloid receptor TRPV1
Sušánková, Klára ; Vlachová, Viktorie (advisor) ; Kršiak, Miloslav (referee) ; Chvátal, Alexandr (referee)
2 11.. SSuummmmaarryy The vanilloid receptor (TRPV1) plays a role of the polymodal detector of nociceptive stimuli in a subset of small and medium sized primary sensory neurons in mammals. This channel can be activated by vanilloid compounds, low pH, and noxious heat, and its function is modulated by a wide range of endogenous and exogenous agents. Our results demonstrate that the reducing agent dithiothreitol (DTT) strongly potentiates both the native and recombinant rat TRPV1 channel when applied at millimolar concentrations to the external solution under intact whole-cell conditions. Since the effects of DTT were almost immediate, dose-dependent, and reversible, the contribution of extracellular cysteine residues within the putative pore-loop region of TRPV1, Cys616, Cys621, and Cys634 has been proposed. We show that the chemical modification of TRPV1 by both reducing and oxidizing agents leads to an increased response to heat. In addition, we identify the extracellularly located cysteine at position 621 which contributes to the DTT-induced potentiation of heat-activated currents mediated by TRPV1. Our data also indicate that capsaicin concentration is radically altered by the presence of oxidizing agents. More generally, the redox-active substances can substantially affect the activity of TRPV1 channels...

Regional culture and the role of elites
Sternová, Marie ; Czumalo, Vladimír (advisor) ; Matějů, Martin (referee)
Předmětem této rigorózní práce byl vztah lokálních elit a regionu, k němuž přísluší, nahlížený s ohledem na jejich specifické vlastnosti - v tomto případě demonstrovaný na příkladu chodského regionu a jeho duchovního vudce Jindřicha Šimona Baara. V teoretické části práce jsme se pokusili zasadit ruzné aspekty života a díla této významné osobnosti, přesahující rámec lokálního významu, do souvislostí s historickým a kulturním vývojem chodského regionu. Duraz byl kladen také na rozbor jednotlivých odvětví chodské lidové kultury, jako jsou lidové tradice a zvyky, nářečí, kroje či hudba a tanec; pozornost věnujeme i popisu současného stavu folklóru v regionu. Teoretickou část doplňuje empirické šetření, které má za úkol prokázat životnost odkazu osobnosti Baarova formátu v rámCi regionální kultury a poodhalit některé detaily každodenního života v místě. Srovnávací výzkum, prováděný v Praze, zdurazňuje specifičnost vztahu obyvatel vybraného regionu k nejvýraznějšímu zástupci lokální elity. Tato práce si neklade za cíl detailně analyzovat veškeré aspekty života konkrétního "duchovního vudce" či podat vyčerpávající přehled folklóru a lidové kultury regionu. Její snahou je najít souvislosti mezi vlivem regionálně významné osobnosti Baarova formátu a prožíváním vnitřní identity a integrity obyvatel zkoumaného...

Business valuation Ltd. Unity, consumer cooperative in Nymburk
Nepimach, Jan ; Mařík, Miloš (advisor) ; Popela, Jan (referee)
The above thesis topic I chose for two reasons. The first reason was that I had as a secondary specialization in Business Valuation chosen course of study in this specialization. I met with the subject in Practical Business Valuation. In this course, I participated in valuation process Consumer Unity in Jindrichuv Hradec. Because at my residence located Consumer Unity in Nymburk, whose stores I visit from time to time, I wonder if it is appropriate to evaluate the company using the income approach (or under what conditions) and what is the value of the company. Therefore, the objective of this thesis I have provided to determine the market value of unity, consumer cooperative in Nymburk. The second reason why I chose the topic of "valuation" as a whole is the fact that my favorite literary genres include detective novels. With a little imagination it can be said that the search for business value is similar or even identical to the above literary genre. When first we see business, we know about him very little, but we suspect that it certainly has some value. In the case of murder, we see the body, but do not know the offender. Over time composing pieces together and connect us with each connection, and finally ideally we will see a clear picture and find out who is the perpetrator, even if the culprit was the victim. If we are looking for enterprise value, this is a similar case. Gradually, as we proceed through financial, strategic analysis, the value of generators, the financial plan to the final valuation, we find that the company is healthy, if it is a competitive, what is the prognosis for the future, when we are at the end of the quest unable to determine its value. Proper "thriller" should consist of five components. From the introduction plot, climax, and denouement of the conclusion. Therefore, the thesis is divided into five parts. The first part consists of basic information about the company, where he briefly introduce the valuated company. Followed by a financial analysis that tells us what threats or vice versa opportunities deriving from the financial statements of the company and answer the question of whether the company is financially able to continue to operate. Another part of the work is strategic analysis to assess the position on a particular market and answers the question of how they will develop sales and market share of the business in the future. Subsequently generators predict values and use them to create a financial plan that will serve as an important basis for the final valuation Unity, consumer cooperative in Nymburk. In my work I used the experience and information on the issue of consumer cooperatives and food retail Practical lessons in the subject of business valuation studies in developing team.

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.
