Nutrition of pregnant - reccomendation and reality
FAJMONOVÁ, Simona
For my bachelor thesis I have chosen the theme : Nutrition of pregnant women recommendations and reality. The theoretical part includes the specifics of nutrition in preconception period and pregnancy, risk groups of pregnant women, high-risk behavior and a chapter about dietary supplementation in pregnancy. Pregnancy is an important period in a woman's life. The changes that accompany pregnancy also impose increased demands on the supply of the body with nutrients. I have chosen the method of a survey for the processing of the research part of my thesis. The practical part includes the results of the survey, which was attended by 80 women in the 7th-9th month of pregnancy. The questionnaire asked for basic information besides the weight, height and weight gain in pregnancy, also eating habits, fluid intake, inadequate habits (alcohol, smoking), use of dietary supplements, awareness of pregnant women and their physical activity. The questionnaires were processed in Microsoft Excel using tables and graphs. All collected pieces of information about dietary habits were compared with the recommendations for pregnant women. The aim of this thesis was to find out what is the reality of eating habits of pregnant women compared with recommendations. Another aim was to determine, whether pregnant women are well informed about the nutrition recommendations during their pregnancy and where they get the information from. Further aim was to explore, whether pregnant women use nutritional supplements before or during pregnancy and what kind of them. The last aim was to determine some of the bad habits during pregnancy (e.g. alcohol , smoking). The results of the questionnaire survey showed that by the majority of pregnant women the reality and recommendations coincided in water intake and beverage preference. Most of them preferred water or tea. Coffee consumption was also by the majority of them problem-free. Eating meat and eggs corresponded with the recommendations for a large group of respondents. As for legumes, fish and fish products, their consumption corresponded with the recommendations by only about half of the women. Eating fruits and vegetables were in the majority of pregnant women unfortunately insufficient as well as the consumption of milk and dairy products, nuts and seeds. It would be very appropriate to increase consumption of these groups of food. Conversely, the consumption of sausages and sweets, which turned out to be more frequent, should be reduced . Most women were well informed about the nutrition recommendations during their pregnancy, in most cases from the media or pregnancy counseling from a doctor. Here, I would suggest creating a website for pregnant women offering really reliable information. Nutritional supplements related to pregnancy were used by about half of the respondents. Only less than a half of the surveyed women supplemented folic acid in preconception period. I would suggest to create some information leaflets about the suitability of folic acid supplementation in preconception period and place them in the gynecological outpatient's clinics . Pregnant women ordinarily didn't smoke and consume alcohol. Occasional alcohol consumption stated 14 % of women. It seems that women are informed enough about the risk of smoking and alcohol consumption.

Ten steps for optimal birth care.
JEŽKOVÁ, Anežka
Topic of this bachelor thesis is 10 steps for the optimal obstetric care. The theoretical part is focused on general aspects of obstetric care, individual birth times, which includes not only a physiology, but also an obstetrician's role in these times and a competence of a midwife. The theoretical part is also focused on International initiative for obstetric care for mother and child - 10 steps for optimal obstetric care and describes in detail individual points of the initiative. The first goal of the research was to find out how well midwifes know the initiative. The second goal was to find out how midwifes provide optimal obstetric care and finally the third goal was to find out what experience with obstetric care puerperal women have. Qualitative and quantitative research was used to achieve these objectives. Opinion of midwifes about the IMBCI initiative and its individual steps was found out by interviews. By questionnaires was discovered what experience with obstetric care puerperal women have. The research group consisted, 10 midwives and 110 puerperal women. It was discovered that midwifes perceive the IMBCI initiative as beneficial, they mostly agree on its individual points, however they add that points presented in the initiative should be standard for every midwife. According to the obtained results it came out, that the care is provided optimally only particularly, in accordance with recommendations of IMBCI. Midwifes responded, that they agreed on individual points and they tried to follow them, but they saw a problem in necessity of respecting orders of doctors who had tendencies to rush for a childbirth and intervene in a physiological process of a birth. An estimated hypothesis has been confirmed, because it was discovered that there are differences in perceptiveness of obstetric care between midwifes and puerperal women. Results point out that women have lack of information about the care which is provided for them although midwifes claim they inform them enough. Almost half of puerperal women quoted that they were not informed about massage as a pain reducing method. Results are consistent with the statement of midwifes about too frequent interventions to the natural birth process. A navel cord is immediately after the birth cut off to most women and they are often limited in eating and drinking. Some of them felt a rush for giving a birth and it was prohibited to have a long contact with the neonate immediately after birth. In connection with potentially harmful procedures, most women confirmed repeated vaginal examinations and performing of episiotomy. Most women underwent artificial rupture of the membrane sack. This imply that these procedures are executed often, sometimes even as a routine, although they are not, according to actual science results, beneficial in any way, only in specific situations, when its benefit is higher than its risk. From interviews with midwifes it came out, that they totally automatically fulfil ten points of Initiative for a support of successful breast-feeding. Puerperal women sensed it differently. This bachelor thesis can be used by midwifes or student of this field for acquiring a greater perspective in a care, which is presently described as optimal. It is up to them if they will follow individual steps of the initiative or if they will be inspired and find their own optimal way. These lines could help women to clarify what they expect from a care in a maternity hospital and how it should properly look in an ideal case.

Radiotherapy of small cell lung cancer
KORDÍKOVÁ, Jitka
Of all lung cancers, small cell lung cancer ( SCLS ) occurs with frequency of 25 - 30%. Patient with small cell lung cancer treated with chemotherapy with or without chest irradiation. Without treatment, small cell carcinoma of the lung has the most aggressive clinical course of any type of pulmonary tumor, with median survival from diagnosis of only 2 to 4 months. Small cell carcinoma has a greater tendency to be widely disseminated by the time of diagnosis but is much more responsive to chemotherapy and irradiation. The aim of this work was to assess irradiation of the chest for small cell lung cancer among patients treatment in years 1990 {--}1995 and patients treatment in years 2000-2005 in the hospital České Budějovice a.s. I´m processed the data about average age, sex, disease range, treatment type, irradiation mode, medical answer and median of survival. Small cell lung cancer is most frequent disease in the men, but also this disease increases in the women. The age rang is 37 {--} 79 years. The average age is 60,7 years. The stage third and fourth is most frequent disease rang. The irradiation techniques are mostly used - 11x3Gy, 20x2Gy, 25x1,8Gy. The median of survival was 8 months. The patients treated only with irradiation was the median of survival 4 months. The patients treated with combination irradiation and chemotherapy was median of survival 10 months. It is advisable to use chemotherapy. Radiotherapy plays an extremely important role in palliation of symptoms of the primary tumor and of metastatic disease, particularly brain and bone metastazes.

THE AIM OF THIS DOCUMENT In connection with the domestic Ukrainian crisis and the external Russian aggression towards the country, we are witnessing a surge of disinformation, falsehoods and facts taken out of context which are to conceal or bias the image of reality. The disinformation thwarts a serious debate on the issues which are crucial for the Ukrainian context and which the Czech public needs to know about. This is why the European Values Think-Tank addressed the prominent Czech and Slovak experts to create this document. Its main goal is to refute the most frequent myths and falsehoods about Ukraine and focus the Czech debate on the real state of affairs. We strongly believe that this document will help various persons (journalists, commentators, editors, analytics, politicians etc.) to understand and shed light on the events in Ukraine. The text was written by a group of experts who have been interested in Ukraine for a long time and are really in touch with the country. The document does not speak in favour of any institution which the authors work for. The European Values Think-Tank is responsible for the content.

Utilization of supervision in facilities providing social services.
ŠTOČKOVÁ, Šárka
In its theoretic part, this dissertation thesis endeavors to describe the area relating to supervision in the most comprehensive way, particularly, supervision in social services. It clarifies basic terms relativ to this subjekt, which are supervision and social services. In its practical part, there are presented the results of the research, which was conducted using questionnaire investigation. The guestionnaires were sent to all facilities in the Vysočina Region which are considered as social services providers. The goal of the research was to find out the amount of social services providers using supervision. Further goal was to ascertain what kind of supervision is used most frequently as well as what the purpose of the supervision is according to the employees working in facilities providing social services. The goals of this thesis were achieved. This thesis has set three working hypotheses. Two hypotheses were confirmed, namely hypothesis No. 1 ? ?the most frequently used supervision is the group case supervision? and No. 2 ? ?supervision is used in facilities providing social services?. Based on the data obtained from the research, hypothesis No. 3 was disproved ? ?workers in the facilities providing social services assume that supervision is only a new type of control?. This thesis may represent a basis for implementing supervision into facilities where it is not yet implemented, not only to the extent of Vysočina Region. Further, it may serve as stimulation for a change or a modification of already applied supervision in facilities providing social services. It may also serve as a first step for similar research in another region and then for possible comparison, enabling to ascertain how the supervision is spread in different regions of the Czech Republic. And last but not least, the thesis may serve as a study material for students of the fields related to social work.
