Utilization of payment cards
PETROVÁ, Jaroslava
The Thesis deals with the utilization rate of debit cards, asks whether popularity of credit cards increases and tries to find what the approach to holding a payment card is among clients. It also deals with the history of payment card origins, both abroad and in the Czech Republic, with classification of cards and with card associations. Advantages and disadvantages of credit cards for a provider, a retailer and a cardholder and the possibility to compare for whom a card is a beneficial product is another interesting topic. It also deals with classification of cards and informs on the most important card associations. It summarizes their position on the market in the Czech Republic. Payment cards are a phenomenon of present days, which is why nearly everybody owns this payment instrument today. When we look at the offer of banks and financial institutions at the territory of the Czech Republic we find that no more financial institution not offering a wide range of credit and debit cards exists nowadays. The aim of the Bachelor Thesis was to confirm or refute set hypotheses, what the rate of growth on payment cards is and whether the interest in payment cards grows. A quantitative method in the form of a questionnaire research among the clients of Raiffeisenbank a.s. was chosen to confirm the hypotheses, then a research question asking about the approach to payment card ownership among clients. The questionnaire results were processed by means of descriptive statistics in graphic form. The research results were described and evaluated from the point of view of conformation or refutation of the hypotheses and the research question in the conclusion of the Bachelor thesis.

PDA utilization
MÍKA, Roman
The focus of this thesis is concerns of "pocket computers" and thein use. Although pocket computers have become a standard and an Essentials part of daily life for many, many questions remain. Nearly everybody can probably imagine what they look like, however many are not sure as to how to use them and in what situations. This is exactly why I have chosen this topic for my thesis. Address the history and also description of pocket computers in the first chapter of my work. Additionally, I describe individual parts and their function in the second chapter and I discuss the "software" and related functions and use in the third. Furthermore,I have dedicated the fourth chapter to personal global positioning systems (GPS). Garmin products, including the use and functions of used software. In the last chapter I discuss specific examples of use of "pocket computers" in daily life as well as target populations using and benefiting from use of "pocket computers".

Preparedness members and employees of the Prison Service of the Czech Republic to incidents in South region
VLAS, Vlastimil
The choice of the topic Readiness of members and civilian employees of the Prison Service of the Czech Republic to the emergency in the South Bohemian Region for my thesis was my independent decision. This choice was entirely deliberate, since this service is also incorporated into the Integrated Rescue System (IRS). However the active service of the Prison Service of the Czech Republic in case of emergency can be very specific. The Prison Service of the Czech Republic may be according to Act No. 239/2000 Coll., on the Integrated Rescue System, used to deal with emergencies. It is incorporated among the other IRS bodies. All these bodies can be deployed to deal with emergencies, but only on condition of a written contract for the assistance. Usable forces and resources of the body must be known. Based on these facts I defined following objectives of the thesis: ? analysis of readiness of members and civilian employees of the Prison Service of the Czech Republic to the emergency in the South Bohemian Region, ? detection of methods, possibilities and conditions of use of the Prison Service in this context, ? training materials design for members and civilian employees of the Prison Service of the Czech Republic. There were also these two hypotheses tested: ? members and civilian employees are adequately trained and are ready to deal with emergencies, ? the Prison Service of the Czech Republic can be fully utilized for an active service in the solution of emergencies. If we focus on the first goal of my work, I have prepared an anonymous questionnaire containing eight questions to adequately analyse readiness. These questionnaires were distributed to all members and civilian employees of PS in South Bohemian Region. I would be able to confirm or refute the first hypothesis on the basis of these results. I could evaluate executed analysis on the basis of the obtained information and comment on the first hypothesis. The maximum number of points in the questionnaire was set for 24. The average score was between 19 to 20 points. It can be concluded that members and civilian employees are adequately trained, and the first hypothesis was confirmed. To be able to evaluate the second hypothesis, I had to perform historical analysis and due to this analysis I concluded that the second hypothesis can be confirmed only partially. The hypothesis was related to the possibility of deploying members and employees of PS on the incident. The historical analysis shows that this body was deployed in the past, however its forces and resources were not represented by members or civilians, but crews of convicted persons. This way of utilization was repeated and it could be said that the deployment of work crews is successful, so I concluded that the second hypothesis was confirmed, but only partially. The Prison Service is fully usable for dealing with emergencies, but its forces and resources are constituted mainly of work crews of convicted persons. If we focus on the legislation determining the use, communication or coordination of this body with the municipal authorities, this is provided only by contract for the assistance. I tried to design a document, how such contract for the assistance could look like. The next chapter outlines the information that could be used as a guide for the decision into what area and what depth members and civilian employees should be trained. Members and civilian employees are annually trained in this matter by the appropriate employee of PS. All objectives of the thesis have been met and are completed by own opinion of the author.

Physiotherapy for patients with Spinal Muscular Atrophy - therapeutic use methods and assistive devices to delay neuromuscular spinal deformities
KUBIČKOVÁ, Karolína
In my bachelor work I look into the problems of the spinal muscular atrophy, assess both the effect of physiotherapy performed and utilization of compensation aids to control the progression of the disease. SMA presents an autosomal recessive genetic progressive disease of neuromuscular system, in the course of which muscular hypotonia, even atrophy develops. This process origins in a gradual deterioration of motoneutrons of frontal spinal corners. SMA ranks among rare hereditory diseases when both parents of the affected patient are bearers of a defective gen, although the illness doesn´t manifest in them themselves. The illness, in its medium and more advanced forms, starts usually its occurence in an early childhood. The rapidity of SMA progression differs in every individual. The patiens who suffer from this illness are mostly dependent on a wheelchair and their lifetime is substantially limited. Neither pathogenesis, nor treatment are currently known.One of major problems, which are brought by the illness, is the start of a backbone neuromuscular deformities which gradually deteriorates. A progressing scoliosis is often so significant that a surgical treatment becomes inevitable because compression of internal organs reaches such a condition that a conservative treatment is not sufficient any more. The patiens often complains of a back and hip painfulness. Viewed by physiotherapy, it seems inevitable to select a correct, individual therapy for every affected person and to recommend them suitable compensation aids. In particular, the choice of a wheelchair must be done with a proper care. Especially the quality of the sitting part and the part catering for a sufficient stability of the body, present the most important items to check while selecting a wheelchair. The importance of a proper wheelchair results from the fact that the SMA patiens spend in it most of their lifetime and that´s why the comfort of usage and the limitation of both backbone deformities and pelvis obliquities appears so important.In the theoretical part of my work I focused on the definition of SMA disease. I stated the classification of SMA and the therapy options. Next, I mentioned the physiotherapy methods, which are most often employed in therapy and compensation aids, which are inevitable for the SMA patiens and present a slowdown of the disease progression. A high quality and suitably selected compensation aid participates in a partial deceleration of occurence or progression of neuromuscular deformation of the backbone.This bachelor thesis aims at monitoring of physiothrapy application chances in SMA. It examines if the illness can be partially affected by employing physiotherapeutical methods. In addition, it deals with the availability and effectivity of compensation aids.
