Impact of fluvial-morphological macrostructrus on the physical habitat of streams.
Strachota, Pavel ; Matoušková, Milada (advisor) ; Křížek, Marek (referee)
This thesis main goal is to nd the main parameters describing fluvial-morphological macrostructures due physical habitat of streams on example study of Zlatý potok stream and Mandát stream. To perform this study was used technique of neural network. Neural network method make possible to make both qualitative and quantitative survey of particular parameters and their weights. Fundamental data used for this thesis was got by mapping regions of interest with two ecohydromorphological methods EcoRivHab and RHS. Information about physical habitat of mapped streams was realized from map's basis (ZABAGED) and by mapping (e.g. valley relief by laser gradiometer, bed loads). Data processing was realized in two parts. In the first part the regions of interest were quali ed to both of the methods. Neural network was seeded by data from mapping of the Zlatý potok stream. In the second part results of mapping for all of the streams were compared by technique of neural network. This way it was possible to evaluate di erences among natural parts of streams in geographically di erent areas and also major and minor parameters both of the used methods for mappings.

A contrastive study of hyperbole in Czech and English. A corpus-based study
Macháčková, Anežka ; Klégr, Aleš (advisor) ; Čermák, Jan (referee)
The aim of this study is to compare and contrast the use of hyperbole or exaggeration in spoken Czech and English language. The research is based on comparative approach to two samples accounting for 100 hyperbolic instances in Czech and 100 instances of hyperbole in English. The Czech sample has been randomly excerpted from the oral part of the Czech National Corpus ORAL2008, whereas the English sample has been randomly excerpted from the "spoken context-govern" and "spoken demographic" sections of The British National Corpus. The two samples are subject to analysis. Firstly, the formal realization of hyperbole is examined. Secondly, the occurrences are classified semantically (quantitative versus qualitative hyperbole) and, thirdly, the lexico-semantics is examined (hyperbolic source domains). By this, the present study tests the hypothesis of universal hyperbolic source domains by examining the situation in Czech and English. Finally, the occurrence of conventionalized instances of hyperbole as opposed to creative instances of hyperbolic nonce-usages is examined. Last but not least, it is the aim of this study to provide the overall frequency figures of hyperbole in both languages.

Is it myself in the mirror?
Radová, Vlasta ; Levínská, Markéta (advisor) ; Doubek, David (referee)
in English A beautiful and healthy body now indicates a happy and contented life, and that is why our society is so obsessed by it. It was transformed into a commercial object, and the borders to which we can manipulate with it are pushed even further. At the same time, many people realize the necessity of cooperation with the body in order to reach a physical and mental health. Voices are heard calling for prevention of exploitation of human bodies and against the lowering of human dignity. We can see showing up different kinds of oriental philosophy, psychosomatic medicine or psychoterapeutic approaches targeted at the body, which are trying to outweigh the trends treating the body as a mere commodity. In spite of those efforts, the number of people with impaired perception and experiencing of their own body is still growing. The most frequent and most discussed are the eating disorders, which endanger seriously all aspects of a person's life. Most of the disorders will develop during adolescence, and that is why in my research I focused on the mapping of corporal experience of young people. In my work I employed the grounded theory method, or a qualitative research. The main research method used is semi-structured interview. The theoretical part consists of a philosophical historical and social...

Operator thinking
Ruppeldtová, Janka ; Hejný, Milan (advisor) ; Hošpesová, Alena (referee) ; Harminc, Matúš (referee)
Resumé The initial goal of the thesis was to nd out the ability of pupils to understand the text of additive word problems, grasp their objects and relations, distinguish numerical data in the function of states and operators, solve such word problems, correctly interpret acquired results, but also to detect possible obstacles to solving or reasons for a pupil's failure in order to draw methods how to eliminate them. After realizing some pre-experiments the goal was shifted to a qualitatively higher level { to investigate the level of an individual's operator thinking via specic word problems, additive word problems with operators, and to design possible ways how to develop a scheme of an individual's operator thinking. For illustrating our research tool we present an example of word problems of a conceptual character and a situation of a procedural character both containing only operators. Bob is 13cm taller than Adam. Chris is 4cm shorter than Bob. Compare the height of Chris and Adam and say how many cm Chris is taller or shorter than Adam. In January the price of a coat was reduced by 500 Sk. Then in February the price rose by 800 Sk, but in March it went down again by 600 Sk. For our purpose we used the assigned word problem for pupils in dierent research methods, such as interview, tests, transfer...

The first introduction to electronic assistive devices for children with visual impairments in the instructional course.
PŘIBYLOVÁ, Hana
This First Degree (Bachelor) Thesis deals with the course in Operation of electronic compensatory aids. The course was attended by two clients with severe visual impairment for whom methodological guidelines in the form of codes of practice were created. The thesis is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. Further, the theoretical part is divided into six chapters the first of which is focused on visual impairment. The second chapter deals with the development of individuals suffering from visual impairment. The next chapter seeks to define the education of persons suffering from visual impairment and the related specialized pedagogical counselling. The fourth chapter bears on specialized pedagogical counselling for persons suffering from visual impairment. The fifth chapter applies to social rehabilitation and brings a presentation of consultancy facilities dealing with social rehabilitation as well. The last chapter describes compensatory aids for persons suffering from visual impairment. The goal of this thesis is to optimize a part of the existing course in Operation of electronic compensatory aids by adapting the codes of practice for the use by clients suffering from visual impairment. A partial aim consists in gaining knowledge about the course in Operation of electronic compensatory aids through a debate with the instructor of course and, based on the instructor?s recommendation, to specify a theme that will be worked out in the codes of practice subsequently. Another aim of the thesis consists also in creating a guidance document that will contribute to a higher level of the course in Operation of electronic compensatory aids and in subsequent verification thereof in practice. In accordance with the objectives set relevant research questions have been defined. For the achievement of the objectives set qualitative research was assigned and the following methods were used for the data collection. The first method applied is structured interview. The interview was conducted with the instructor of the course in Operation of electronic compensatory aids. Based on the interview outcomes, the theme was designed that was developed into four codes of practice later on. The second method adopted in the research survey was observation through participation. There were defined observation categories corresponding to the partial aims of the thesis which were entered into the record sheet covering the observations to be realized. The last method employed was the method of secondary analysis of the clients? personal documentation. The research itself was carried out in the course of the period from February to mid- April in the premises of Tyflokabinet České Budějovice, o.p.s., the institution that is realizing the course in Operation of electronic compensatory aids. The group subject to research consisted of a sightless pupil and a partially sighted pupil. The result of my work represents an original methodological document. Thanks to the evaluation of the subject matter presented at the end of each lesson, it was found that the codes of practice were, on the other hand, beneficial to the course in Operation of electronic compensatory aids and, on the other hand, contributed to the understanding of the subject matter treated. Based on observations, I found that the teaching lesson of the course is influenced by the time of one hour allotted to the course and by the attention of attending clients, too. Based on the observations realized we can say that various games and activities can be made up that are intended for the practicing of the subjects discussed, however, the time allotted to the course teaching, viz. 60 minutes, must be taken into consideration. It has been proven that the 60 minutes were often not sufficient for discussing all the subjects prepared, still the time of 60 minutes is too long for maintaining the attention of the clients.

Pedagogic & educational programme of civil defence of population for elementary school pupils in the Slovak republic.
UŠIAKOVÁ, Michaela
Theme of our thesis is in generally not much mapped issues, regarding education and prepares people and especially pupils of elementary schools in Slovak Republic. Theme I chose because of my long experience with issues relating to the protection of human health and life associated with the provision of the first aid and solutions incidents as medical paramedic, voluntary fire brigade and civil protection units. The aim of this thesis is to identify and assess expert opinion on civil protection and crisis management of education and teachers' preparedness to deal with emergencies and the need to introduce a separate subject civil protection in elementary schools Slovak Republic. Another aim is to analyze teachers interested in establishing a separate school subject civil protection in elementary schools Slovak Republic. Based on research in the practical part we set other goals: create a draft manual educationally education program on civil population protection for upper elementary schools and its subsequent implementation in the selected elementary school in Dojč. A handbook could serve for the preparation of pupils for self-defense and mutual assistance in the development of emergencies. Research was realized using qualitative and quantitative, analytical and synthetic, inductive-deductive methods, in the form of semi-structured interviews with experts in civil protection of the population and statistical survey among teachers in elementary schools in Slovak Republic. Researches question ?It is considered important to establish a separate subject of civilian protection in elementary schools of Slovak Republic?? Was it answered and statistical verificated. The result of statistical investigation was positive; this means that teachers are agreed on the necessity of establishment an independent subject of civil protection. On-backed talks, we have concluded that the instruction relating to the protection of civilian populations is inadequate. Teachers haven't got any sources to draw from and also their knowledge are not satisfactory. We believe that the practical ignorance and inaction after the unusual event in its first phase could have fatal consequences.

Stabilizovaná dusíkatá hnojiva se sírou ve výživě pšenice ozimé
Tržil, Marek
The aim was to compare the effects of stabilized ureas including sulphur (in different dosing) with fertilizers without inhibitors on nutrition of winter wheat crop. There were a five differential variants: 1. ALZON 46 (urea with inhibitor of nitrification) + ammonium sulfate (1:1), 100% dose, 2. ALZON 46 (urea with inhibitor of nitrification) + ammonium sulfate (1:1) 80% dose, 3. ALZON 25 -- 6 S, 100% dose (fertilizer with nitrification inhibitor involving 25 % nitrogen and 6 % sulphur) 4. ALZON 25 -- 6S, 80% dose, 5. Urea + ammonium sulfate. I examine the effects of these variants on nutrition of crop, yield and qualitative characteristics of grain. The experiment was realized on small-parcel field at ŠZP in Žabčice in year 2012/2013. The variant ALZON 25 -- 6 S 80% dose reached the worst results for the gluten content, content of N-substances and sedimentation value. The variant Urea + ammonium sulfate had the lowliest value of a bulk density. The best results were reached for fertilizer ALZON 46 (urea with inhibitor of nitrification) + ammonium sulfate in ratio 1:1 (100 % dose) for parameters such as value of N-tester, yield of grain, sedimentation value, content of N-substances and gluten content.

An ideal nurse in patient´s view
BEZDĚKOVÁ, Barbora
Today, every patient has a different view of what an ideal nurse should look like. The public often has no idea of the education that a general nurse must have obtained these days to carry out this special and very specific function. The thesis is focused on patients´ notion of the ideal qualities of a general nurse as well as on their perception of different kind of their education. In the researching part of the thesis, our task was to find out how patients imagine an ideal nurse, what requirements, according to them, should she meet, how satisfactory they find the nursing care in the hospital in Jindřichův Hradec, and whether they even distinguish among different qualifications of nurses. The practical part of the thesis consists of processing and evaluating of the data acquiered during the research. Two main goals have been appointed in advance. The first one concerned mapping of patients´ notions of an ideal nurse qualities. The other goal was to find out if patients distinguish different types of qualification (education) of general nurses. To achieve the goals of the thesis "An ideal nurse in patient´s view" the method of the qualitative research was appointed. Technically, the collection of data was based on a semi-standardized interview that included 10 questions. The interview was realized with randomly chosen patients of the standard ward block in the district hospital Jindřichův Hradec. The research set consisted of male and female patients at the internal clinic. Patients were partly asked also about their objective data: their age, education, and occupation. The research was conducted during January - March 2013. The collected data have been processed by Microsoft Word´s diagrams SmartArt and, subsequently, commentaries were added. The output includes also verbatim quotations of the respondents. The results make it evident that the prearranged goals have been achieved and that the research questions have been answered in a satisfactory way. Generally, the research indicates that patients imagine a nurse as a clearly and appropriately dressed woman in a working dress, willing, communicative, empathic, with nice behaviour and positive attitude towards her patients, yet not impertinent or arrogant. It has been established that patients mostly ignore the difference in education of a nurse, probably because of a wrong or insufficient orientation in that matter, and they are unable to distinguish among the medical staff. The results clarify how patients view an ideal nurse´s qualities. It is possible, on this basis, to consider the attitude of nurses to their patients, their overall appearance, and their personal character, in order to make possible adjustments towards their patients´ expectations. The outcome of the research could also be used as a supplement in the education of future nurses. The informative results will be communicated to the staff of the internal clinic where the data were collected. They will serve as a feedback for the nursing staff at the standard ward block in the district hospital Jindřichův Hradec.
