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.

Geopolitical influence of USA in Subs-saharan Africa and its changes during 2nd half of 20th century
Chaloupková, Jana ; Riegl, Martin (advisor) ; Romancov, Michael (referee)
Bachelor thesis is focused on a progress in four Sub-Saharan countries (Liberia, Nigeria, Somalia and Rwanda) during Cold War and the 90's and on a role of United States of America in this progress. How relations of Cold War allies or enemies determinate the current Africa policy of United States is the fundamental question of this thesis. Author uses Mill's Method of Agreement. Intervention or involvement in ethnic or civil conflict in the 90's was chosen as a dependent variable. It should symbolize growing U.S. interest in the country. Nondependent variables are factors which can affect the decision making process of intervention - Cold War collaboration, involvement in the proxy war, humanitarian aid or military assistance, troops training. Thesis uses empirical-analytical approach. First and second chapter are moreover focused on complex U.S. Africa Policy, on its development and current situation. They describe humanitarian and other agencies and also approaches of U.S. presidents since the end of the Second World War. Other chapters are written as a One Case Studies, the comparison of them as well as problems of intervention are included in last chapter.

Frechová, Lucie ; Novák, Vojtěch (referee) ; Ptáček, Michal (advisor)
The work mentions the concept of present electricity networks in the Czech Republic and based on voltage levels it also describes distribution networks in more detail. Furthermore it brings the analysis of legislative conditions and technical aspects, under the rules of the distribution network operation, for new customers who require new connection to electricity network. Because of the steady-state network evaluation represents very important issue of the power system calculations, therefore it is explained in theoretical part of this work. Nowadays, Gauss-Seidel method and Newton iterative method are generally used for the steady-state analysis. Mentioned ones are also described and compared together in theoretical part. Furthermore methods are applied in practical part which solves specific configuration of the network in a given area. Moreover there are the basics of the conductor sizing in terms of the warming, both during normal operation and during a short circuit. However, it is necessary to respect other aspects of the conductor sizing, therefore issues of mechanical and electrical strength, the voltage drop and the sizing economy are also shown. There is also the characteristic of proposed and the description of the individual components which are used for the network i.e. transformation station, HV and LV switchgear, transformer, HV and LV cabling. It also concludes the characteristics of the design opportunity with their power and economical comparison.

Potential of Verbal Assessment
Svatoš, Jakub ; Voda, Jan (advisor) ; Kargerová, Jana (referee)
The thesis is focused on the topic of verbal assessment at primary school and its potential to be objectively reflective of the progress of pupil's knowledge, skills, abilities and attitudes. The predictive value is analysed through creating an image of the pupil on the basis of the casuistry of all his verbal assessments. The segments of the report are classified by making a graph with the aim to predict further progress without any contact to the pupil. Finally, I realized an interview with the pupil which allowed me to compare the image to reality. The research part of the thesis points out the limited potential of using verbal assessment as a report. The thesis also focuses on transformation of the analyzed reports using the vocabulary of RVP ZV, which I consider an objective language of all the teachers.
