Dangerous Products on the Czech Trade and System of International Exchange Information RAPEX
HONDLÍKOVÁ, Zuzana
My bachelor's thesis deals with problems of dangerous products on the market in the Czech Republic and with rapid alert system providing international exchange of information (RAPEX). The import of dangerous products to EU countries, which means also our country, is increasing because of the trade liberalization. Therefore, I wanted to find out in my thesis if non-proffessional public is informed about these problems and if people are interested in it. The aim of this thesis was to find out and analyse dangerous non-food products on the Czech market in 2011. As the Czech Republic is a member of the European Union, it is essential to see the analysis of international rapid alert system outputs in European standards. Furthermore, I focused on countries of origin that mostly import dangerous products and I monitored the usual kind of products. The data from Ministry of Health, Regional Health Protection Agencies and European Commission were used as a source of information for my research. By means of questionnaires I investigated knowledge of a specific group, namely mothers of preschool children. The problems of products dangerous for preschool children concern especially the mothers. The bachelor's thesis contains a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part deals with European Union and Czech legislative requirements for objects that are commonly used, included materials and objects coming into contact with food, toys, cosmetics and products for children up to three years old. Non-proffessional people play the role of product consumers, so their rights and obligations are also included in the theoretical part. Equally, activities and competences of Health Protection Agencies are involved. I chose a combined attitude to data collecting and analysing in the practical part of the thesis. At first data collection was accomplished, then it was studied by the method of side data analysis. Subsequently, a quantitative research was applied, where a feedback from non-proffessional public was gained. There I found out public's attitudes, knowledge and customer behaviour. Particular aims of the bachelor's thesis were met. It was established that respondents have not enough information about the problems or rather they do not pay much attention to them. Respondents also do not trust Regional Health Protection Agencies. However, their customer behaviour can be assessed positively. The side data analysis showed that products from China often come to European market, especially clothes and toys. The presence of carcinogenic hydroquinone seems to be the worst danger that can appear in cosmetic products. The biggest risk of toys and products for children up to three years old is asphyxication as a result of technical imperfections. The bachelor's thesis could be used as a helpful source when teaching hygiene of commonly used objects. Or it could be used in the mass media as a source of information for non-proffessional public.

Nursing barrier care in the ICU
DUŠKOVÁ, Ludmila
Barrier nursing care is one of the important methods falling under the area of prevention of nosocomial infections which should be known and adhered to by nurses during the execution of their work. The theoretical part of the thesis deals with nosocomial infections and the characteristics of intensive care and it explains the principles of barrier nursing care. The practical part of the thesis inquires into the nurses´ knowledge of the principles of barrier nursing care, the adherence to these principles and the aids needed for caretaking using the barrier nursing technique. The research inquiry was carried out using quantitative research method. Data collection was realised by a questionnaire. Three goals had been set. Goal 1: Finding out what knowledge the nurses working in intensive care departments have about the principles of barrier nursing care. Goal 2: Finding out what principles of barrier nursing care are adhered to by nurses working in intensive care departments. Goal 3: Finding out what problems nurses working in intensive care departments identify in terms of the adherence to the principles of barrier nursing care. To specify the goals, four hypotheses were laid out. Hypothesis 1 stating that nurses in intensive care departments know the principles of barrier nursing care wasn´t affirmed. As the nurses do not adhere to the principles of barrier care during the execution of their work, we suppose they do not know them. Hypothesis 2 stating that nurses in intensive care departments research information concerning the principles of barrier nursing care wasn´t affirmed. Only 58.5 % of nurses are interested in educational events dealing with the principles of barrier nursing care. The remaining nurses (41.5 %) would not attend training events. Hypothesis 3 stating that nurses in intensive care departments work in adherence to the principles of barrier care was not affirmed. Out of seven questions testing work habits of nurses during caretaking according to the principles of barrier care, only one was answered correctly by more than 70 % of the nurses. Hypothesis 4 stating that nurses in the departments of intensive care do not identify the problem with caretaking according to the principles of barrier nursing care in the lack of aids was affirmed. Most nurses (89.6 %) think they have enough aids for caretaking according to the principles of barrier nursing care at their disposal in their workplace. The result of the research inquiry also point to the principles the nurses adhere to. These include using aids necessary for caretaking by the barrier nursing technique and isolating the patient in a separate room or a closable box. The nurses state that acute states of health related to intensive care represent a problem which sometimes leads to breaking the principles of barrier care while taking care of the patient. The research revealed the need to motivate nurses to acquire more profound information in this area of problems and to adhere to the principles of barrier nursing care. Furthermore, it is necessary to monitor nurses more during the execution of their work and point out their malpractice to them in time. The result will be submitted to the management of the hospital where the research inquiry took place. Our recommendations, which should contribute to raising more interest in the area of problems of nosocomial infections and barrier nursing care on the part of the nurses, can be proposed to the management. The cause of the low level of awareness and low interest in acquiring more knowledge about barrier nursing care on the part of the nurses could be a further research issue.

Understanding fractions in seventh- and eighth-graders
Sedláková, Jitka
Submitted work deals with an analysis of children's ways of solving mathematical problem situations in the domain of fractions and further with an effort to recognize mechanisms that stands behind these ways of solving. The problem situations (mathematical tasks) which the children have to solve are chosen in order to cover five interpretations of fractions (part-whole comparison, quotient, operator, measure and ratio) specified by Lamon (1999). A set of tasks is given to the children from the sixth and seventh grades. Data obtaining methods used in this work are as follows: observation of the children during the task solving; discussion with them about their strategies for solving and work paper analysis. The different children strategies are shown herein by means of qualitative analysis of obtaining data. The solution strategies of individual tasks are categorized according to way of solving and way of thinking. In the work it is pointed out many connections between strategies in individual tasks which were solved. It is furthermore shown, how big problem the linguistic acquirement of mathematical terms can be. Due to this problem it is necessary to learn to understand task assignments according to mathematical context requirements. It is pointed out a possible diffusion of individual fraction...

IT GOVERNANACE AT THE MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRES OF THE CZECH REPUBLIC: SYSTEMIC APPROACH AND FIELD IMPLEMENTATION
Protiva, Tomáš ; Pour, Jan (advisor) ; Pilař, Luboš (referee)
The diploma thesis reacts on the interest of the Czech foreign ministry IT department to get an overview of ITIL 2 and COBIT 4.1 world-wide acknowledged IS/IT management best practice libraries. Both libraries are put in the framework of IT Governance theory and practice. COBIT is presented as world ITG standard, meaning the alignment of organization's strategic goals and IT goals. It is focused on organizations, where the shift of IT perception towards a strategic partnership with the business is driven by top-down board initiative. On the other hand, the ITIL core texts Service Support and Service Delivery are treated as a standard of IT service management, suitable as a framework to establish processes within the foreign ministry's IT department. Three alternative implementations of the two libraries are shown, in a situation of non-existent process management and information architecture. Moreover, the IT Governance initiative has a bottom-up character. The first variant connects ITIL and COBIT process models to the goals and projects outlaid in the 2008-2010 IT Strategy draft (IT BSC was used in the strategy to set up goals). The COBIT processes are aligned to the IT BSC domains and projects; further on, more detailed ITIL tools are assigned to the COBIT processes using the toolbox [IT GOVERNANCE INSTITUTE; OFFICE OF GOVERNMENT COMMERCE. Aligning COBIT, ITIL and ISO 17799 for Business Benefit]. As the projects formulated in the IT Strategy don't focus on the fundaments of process management, a stepwise approach to document the current processes using the ITIL: Service Support and Service Delivery framework is suggested. The second variant came into reality in mid 2008: COBIT has been used without success to estimate users' preferences. The reasons of the failure are discussed. Czech translation of COBIT 4.1 maturity models by the author intended to use as one of the tools in the opinion poll is attached as Annex 2. The last variant is not directly aligned to the problems of foreign ministry's IT/IS, but it is the most pragmatic guide to the implementation of the libraries. As an external help desk has been already launched, I suggest the establishment of ITIL Incident Management and Problem Management processes, supported with a CMDB configuration database.

Trh s elektřinou v České Republice (teorie a praxe)
Pavlátka, Pavel ; Schwarz, Jiří (advisor) ; Brychta, Pavel (referee)
Liberalization and privatization of the electricity industry is one of the most important processes in the few last years. Even when the electricity market is fully open, substantial barriers to competition often remain. These barriers are refusal of access to the market, the lack of capacity in interconnectors and long-term contracts. The process of liberalization has shown that a third-party access to the network is a critical and important factor in ensuring a real and effective liberalization of the market. The process of liberalization has also supported new ways and forms of energy trading including financial contracts instead of purely physical contracts for the delivery of electricity. It is a question if the benefits of liberalization of the electricity industry compared with a regulated private monopoly or public monopoly were profitable. Someone could argue that the liberalization of electricity tends to bring benefit to monopoly structures and increase prices of electricity in industry. This work tries to present the pros and cons of liberalization in the electricity industry while taking in consideration the best means of making the liberatization as much profitable and useful as possible.

Comfort of mothers during childbrith
HANZALOVÁ, Martina
This thesis for a bachelor's degree is dealing with the comforts of expectant mother in the process of delivery. A theoretical part is divided into three main chapters. The first chapter covers the delivery description and its classification. The second chapter deals with an inclusive nursing care for a mother-to-be in the process of delivery and a midwife's care during every particular labour phase. The last chapter describes all aspects which affect the delivery process. The exploratory part of this thesis is focused on the contentment of women in labour with the offer of comforts during their delivery. I have set two aims. The first aim was focused on the women awareness of pharmacological and non-pharmacological techniques which cope with the pain in the process of delivery. The second aim was focused on the women contentment with comfort offer in the labour ward and the treatment of nursing staff. I have chosen three research questions: Which possibilities of pharmacological and non-pharmacological techniques do the women know and use to ease the pain in the process of delivery? Which relaxation aids have been offered in the process of delivery? To what extent the woman has been satisfied with the ambience and the nursing staff treatment? I chose the method of qualitative research. I carried on a survey to get the detailed and comprehensive information. The whole research was transferred to two main categories and its subcategories. During investigations it emerged that most respondents found the information on the Internet, in professional literature, antenatal courses etc. Hydroanalgesia appeared to be the most known alternative to ease the pain in the form of shower or bath. As far as pharmacological possibility is concerned the respondents mentioned only epidural analgesia. The comforts category describes general comforts which the midwife offers to the expectant mothers in the process of delivery. Antenatal preparation was given to most respondents with the previous consent and they were offered drinks in the labour ward. Most respondents were also offered non-pharmacological techniques to ease the pain such as relief positions, gymnastics ball, massage, hydroanalgesia etc. No respondent was offered epidural analgesia, however, one respondent was relieved with the help of pharmacotherapy. The thesis also deals with the people present in childbirth and the influence of ambience. It was shown that most respondents had no reservations. The category which assesses the women contentment with the midwives attitude towards expectant mothers shows that most women were satisfied. The midwives were not only mental support but also they took care about their comfort and informed about the process of delivery. There was only one case when the woman was not satisfied and she would appreciate to get more information from the midwives. Unprofessional attitude of the midwives has an influence on the respondent assessment. The research shows that public health needs not only routine work but mainly human attitude and communication. Midwives should behave sympathetically, be assertive towards the women in labour and relieve the pain with the help of all available techniques in such a demanding situation as delivery is.
