Insulin Therapy from A Nursing Perspective
JELÍNKOVÁ, Kateřina
Diabetes mellitus is a serious and incurable disease prone to specific complications, known since 1550 BC. Recent international studies have shown that approximately 347 million people suffer from diabetes and the number is still increasing. Diabetes is treated by taking dietary measures; in addition to diet and oral antidiabetic medication, exogenous insulin intake is the ultimate treatment option. It was the exogenous insulin administration in 1922 that brought up a revolution in the treatment of diabetes mellitus. Since then safer and user-friendlier insulins have been and still are developed. Insulin is stored in liquid form in vials or cartridges and is only administered intravenously; however, it is assumed that an equally effective application method will be found in the future. The aim of the thesis is to map out the specifics of nursing care of insulin therapy clients and to answer the following research question: ?What are the specific needs of clients with insulin therapy?? ?How is the nurse involved in the education of the client in terms of insulin therapy?? ?Do insulin therapy patients have enough information about diabetes mellitus and insulin therapy?? The thesis consists of a theoretical and research part. The theoretical part deals with information about diabetes mellitus, insulin, insulin therapy and the role of nurses in care of diabetic patients. The research part encompasses an inquiry carried out as an anonymous interview where ten diabetic patients with insulin therapy were asked semi-open and open questions. The acquired data were transformed into case studies and categorization tables. The research questions were answered and the objective was achieved. In conclusion, the research suggests that patients do not have enough information about diabetes and insulin therapy. Specifics of the nursing care of diabetic patients with insulin therapy depends on the patient's needs. Most patients mentioned the need for contact with other diabetic patients. Nurses are involved in the education of patients with insulin therapy primarily as teachers of application and handling the insulin pen. This thesis served as the basis for the creation of an educational material for nurses. This material may prove helpful for nurses as a guide in the process of training diabetic patients to use the insulin pen. Alternatively, it can be used by medical care students as a learning resource.

Flood-plain Analylis of the Karolinka Dam
Píšek, Petr ; Vizina, Štěpán (advisor) ; Vokoun, Martin (referee)
The thesis analyzes flood consequences caused by failure of a damaged barrier or a particular component of water impoundment Karolinka. In the first part of the thesis there is described the history of water impoundments construction, both in the world and in The Czech Republic. The failure rate is described, followed by description of damage caused by flood. Finally, the ways of software modeling of flood wave transition are described, whereas special attention is given to program HEC-RAS. The data preprocessing and preparation were realized by ArcGIS software while HEC-RAS program was used for modeling. The specification of the floodplain of dam failure was the outcome of the modeling. The two inputs of data were used for comparison of results -- altimetry grid 10x10 m ZABAGED and Digital Model of relief of CZ of 4th generation (DMR 4G) acquired by aerial Laser Scanning.

Fragmentation and Disjointedness in Samuel Beckett's Plays
Halášková, Lucie ; Pilný, Ondřej (advisor) ; Armand, Louis (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to explore different levels of fragmentation and disjointedness in Samuel Beckett's Endgame, Krapp's Last Tape, Happy Days, and Play. Firstly, certain concepts are exposed as being fragmentary. The concepts which are examined in relation to fragmentation and disjointedness are language, time, identity, and reality. The motivation behind this part of the research was to expose the subjectivity and multiplicity of these concepts, and to examine how they function in the four treated plays. Furthermore, this thesis seeks to examine Beckett's use of fragmentation and disjointedness in correlation with incompleteness, examining the importance of what is present but also what is absent in the treated plays. In chapter 2, the relationship between the form and function of language is examined, exploring the different factors that affect one's perception towards language. Language is examined within a subjective, contextual, and social framework. The characters of the treated plays prove that language is a delicate method of expression, often resulting in rifts in communication. The third chapter deals with the fragmentation and subjectivity of time, identity, and reality. Time is examined in relation to the characters, delving into the problem of the characters' perception of the...

Constructing Artificial Chaos
Hakl, Vilém ; VAJCHR, Marek (advisor) ; ŠERÝ, Ladislav (referee)
This work is about works of art which imitate chaos in terms of their structure. The focus of this work is POETICS OF CHAOS, in other words: specific techniques used to construct artificial chaos. The poetics of chaos is also explored through narration, the grotesque anti-myth about Eris, the Goddess of Chaos, and Paris, the prince of Troy, and his horrifying masturbation phantasy. The main field of this work is literature and film, but music and painting are also explored. The analysis of SPAS (a novel by Ivan Matousek) and ASTHENIC SYNDROME (a film by Kira Muratova) are included, because the structure of these masterpieces is brilliantly chaotic.

Cartographic Aspects of Remote Sensing Materials
Bělka, Luboš
Orthophotographic projection of territory (orthophotomap) as a basic and special geographic product is the main subject of the thesis. The research is focused on a proper orthophotomap and its components definitions, methods and technology of the orthophotomap production. This thesis deals and evaluates remote sensing materials for orthophotomaps production, topographic and thematic orthophotomaps content and visualization means for the content portrayal harmonizing both image and symbol components. The main thesis aims are as follows: - evaluation of current orthophotomap production and its applications, - methodology composition of the orthophotomap production, - presentation of possible variants of topographic and thematic orthophotomaps applicable mainly to state and municipal purposes in the Czech Republic, - motivation towards a professional discussion about the topic issues including basic orthophotomap concepts, visualization methods, etc.
