Subsidy policy of the region
Radvanová, Zuzana ; Sedmihradská, Lucie (advisor) ; Bayer, Ondřej (referee)
The aim of the diploma thesis is funding of the municipalities by the South Moravian Region. The theoretical part defines the technical terms such as fiscal federalism, public administration and funding. The practical part explores whether the funding is provided in compliance with the general terms and conditions. This work is aiming to define the parameters which form the basis of comparison of the information about municipal funding available on the South Moravian Region website with the actual terms and conditions under which the funding is provided. Through the analysis explained herein it has been proven that in majority of cases the region does not abide by the terms of the funding as available online. The lack of required information in the terms on the region's website gives the impression that the funding process is rather opaque. Additionally, we further examine whether political affiliation of mayors in municipalities of the region is a factor determining the size of the actual funding provided by the region. The result of this analysis is negative which concludes that political affiliation of mayors in the region does not have an impact on the size of the funding provided by the region to its municipalities.

Estrogens in environment, their impact on male fertility
Daniel, Michal ; Heráček, Jiří (advisor)
Build-up of estrogen and other endocrine disruptors in our habitat has been recently an issue widely debated not only amongst health professionals but also by main stream media. Their impact on wild animals has been observed and documented for some time now and several studies on rodents and other mammals have demonstrated a highly probable connection between exposure in early stages of development to endocrine disrupting chemicals and abnormal sexual maturation of males (hypospadia, cryptorchism), as well as impaired male reproductive functions. Epidemiological studies have been claiming significant drop in sperm count and quality of spermatozoa in last several decades, increased incidence of testicular cancer, which is being among other causes attributed also to pooling of endocrine disruptors in the environment. This reasoning brings a lot of controversy since the respective chemicals are by-products of substances commonly used in agriculture and industry and replacing them is expensive and logistically challenging. It is also quite difficult to determine and quantify the long term effects of specific chemicals on human body since the population is being exposed to not just one substance but to a whole cocktail of them and the symptomatology is subjected to age, length of the exposure, quantity of the...

Power through humour: Thomas King's strategies for decolonizing Canada
Tuček, Jaroslav ; Jindra, Miroslav (referee) ; Kolinská, Klára (advisor)
This dissertation is about power, humour and various comic and ironic strategies contemporary Native writers and artists apply in their works to challenge the outdated Indian stereotypes and obsolete systems of cultural and aesthetic representation. The artists employ a combination of comedy and irony as favoured modes of expression in order to contest, subvert and critically deconstruct the oppressive hegemonic ideologies and power structures still present in Canada and the United States. Their novels, poetry, essays, films, documentaries, theatre performances, paintings and other works of art strive to emphasize the marginalization and rights of all Native people in North America who have suffered over the hundreds of years of colonization, acculturation and violent cultural appropriation. In the last decade, there have been growing calls from academia, Native communities as well as the government, to reconceptualise the bi-cultural politics between the First Nation peoples and the Canadian nation-state. A great amount of models for an inclusionary and multifaceted identity politics have been proposed by several Canadian cultural analysts and critics, including for example Diana Brydon, Smaro Kamboureli, and Lily Cho. However, before they can be successfully implemented, a creation of an alternative space...

Nutritional trends in selected religions as related to health and illnesses
PILEČKOVÁ, Renata
Current society is much diversified as regards its culture of customs and trends encountered also in the eating habits of people. Our health-care facilities provide treatment to a good number of patients of different religions and, consequently, different eating habits. We certainly do not want the patients to be only passive recipients of medical care. That is why the nurses have to put some effort into learning about the individual eating habits of their patients. A nurse informed about food that a patient wishes or does not wish to be given is able to use her own initiative in providing what is needed to satisfy the requirements. In this way the nurse will involve the patients in the treatment and boost their confidence in the health-care staff. The theoretical section investigates primarily nutritional habits of believers of some selected religions, namely Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Roman Catholic Church and Brethren Church. Other parts of the theoretical section analyzed some alternative nutritional trends. Also mentioned was food provision at health-care facilities and the competences of nutrition therapeutists and assistants. The empirical section formulated four objectives: (1) to specify the main features of nutritional trends met in the selected religions; (2) to measure the level of nurses' expertise in the eating habits associated with the selected religions; (3) to find out whether the nurses in providing the care respect the clients' nutritional trends as related to the selected religions; and (4) to investigate the importance and observance of specific nutritional trends in the selected religions as perceived by the clients and the nurses. The methodology relied on a quality-oriented survey performed through controlled interviews with the clients, and a quantity-oriented survey conducted through questionnaires distributed among clients and nurses. The qualitative survey was to answer these questions: What eating habits can be encountered in clients professing the selected religions? Does proper observation of the clients' eating habits make the clients satisfied with the nursing care? The quantitative survey was based on assumptions that (1) nurses ignorant of the nutritional trends will make the clients unhappy about the nursing care, and that (2) proper attention paid to varied eating habits in different cultures will make the job of nursing teams in health-care facilities a more burdensome task. The survey has been conducted in the regions of South Bohemia and Central Bohemia. Judging from the results, the objectives have been met, the hypotheses confirmed, and the research questions objectivized. The work resulted in an Education Sheet to be used by both nurses and the public.

Specific attributes of Human resource management in Non-profit organizations
Glebova, Margarita ; Koubek, Ivo (advisor) ; Todica, Doina (referee)
There is a common idea that human resource management in non-profit corporations is very different from human resource management in for-profit corporations. From one side, there are a lot of differences in recruiting people or strategic management. From other side, there are enough similarities in both types of organization. To understand, how to set Human Resource Management in non-profit organization, the basic differences between these two types have to be understood. It means not only understanding in the Human resource level, but in general economical level. Any activity in the economy has to be set as an answer to the needs. After analysis of the main differences between both types of organization, it is much easier to find a need for particular policy of HRM in non-profit. To paint the whole picture of the problem, I will give a quick definition of Non-profit sector in general, after we will pay particular attention to HRM policies in non-profit sector and the goal of the last chapter is to show the main differences between non-profit and for-profit HRM. The question to answer is which of factors has a bigger significance in this topic. The main task is to show, that, even though financing of non-profits are very limited nowadays, it is still very important to pay attention to create HR...

Kouřilová, Kateřina ; Lang, Otto (advisor)
Deep vein thrombosis and acute pulmonary embolism are two sides of the same coin. It is , in many cases , a serious condition that requires urgent treatment. But to properly treat the disease , it is necessary to properly identify and Thus early diagnosis . In pulmonary embolism is a problem that the clinical symptoms are nonspecific and can mean a number of other serious and trivial disease . It is therefore the Location: choose the correct methods of investigation , which both confirms the diagnosis with high probability , but at the same time be economically and technically available for all patients. The aim of each medical specialty is preventing the emergence of diseases , so even in the case of thromboembolic disease in the first place its prevention. We know a number of risk factors that contribute to the formation of disease , but we also learned how to prevent them using prophylaxis in risk groups of patients. Great interest for this are mainly surgical Domains because many surgical procedures increases the possibility of deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism . The next step is the secondary prevention, thus preventing recurrent episodes of venous thromboembolism (VTE ) , which may lead to pulmonary hypertension, which only worsens the quality of life of the patient, but may end his...

Müllerová, Susan ; Stuchlíková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Zapletal, Petr (referee)
This thesis is about relations between China and the Czech Republic. The first chapter describes evolution of China - since establishment in 1949 to the current state of the economy. The following chapter describes the relations between Czech Republic and PRC and whole work terminate Czech investments in China (PPF Group - Home Credit, Skoda Auto, Skoda Electric etc.) and Chinese investments in the Czech republic (Huawei, Changhong etc.), which are three times higher than the Czech ones in China. At the end is summary and assessment of the prospects of further development. The years 2001 (China joined WTO) and 2004 (Czech Republic joined the EU) most influenced relations between Czech Republic and China. Cooperation between Czech Republic and China is more important for the Czech Republic, but provides a lot of opportunities for both sides. Czech companies could bring important technology and non-traditional products to the Chinese market and on the other hand the Czech Republic is located in the centre of Europe and this position is for Chinese companies suitable starting position to enter the European market.

Peroperative nurse work demands
VELÁTOVÁ, Simona
My thesis has two parts. Part One explains the concept of "perioperative nurse" and her competences set forth in the Decree no.55/2011 Coll., on the activities of healthcare workers and other professional workers. The following chapters discuss the working environment of perioperative nurses, job principles of perioperative nurses, preparation of the operating room, treatment and preparation of instruments and technical equipment. Theory Part One is concluded by the chapter that explains the concept of perioperative care. Part Two is focused on education and training of perioperative nurses. It provides historical information, conditions and opportunities for specialized training of perioperative nurses. The last chapter deals with lifelong learning. Objectives of the Thesis The first objective was to map the range of activities performed by perioperative nursesduring selected types of surgery. The second objective was to identify differences in perioperative nurses' activities during standard and laparoscopic surgery. The last objective was to identifyopportunities for further training of perioperative nurses. The method of qualitative research was used. Research data were collected from non-standardized in-depth interviews. The research covered perioperative nursesof three operating rooms in the Hospital of České Budějovice a. s., namely surgery, urology and gynaecology. The research was carried out in collaboration with 3 perioperative nurses of each of the above mentioned operating rooms. Responses were recorded in writingand interviews with individual nurses were numbered followed then by verbatim transcriptionof interview data. The evaluation and analysis of interviews were categorized and categories were supplemented with subcategories. The results of research focused on duties of perioperative nurses show that perioperative nurses' workencompasses many duties they have to performandfollow. The duties of perioperative nurses include activities before, during and after surgery. They smoothly follow one after another and have a predefined sequence. The Scrub Nurse and CirculatingNursejointly perform most activities. Checking was identified as the most frequent activity of perioperative nurses. Checking on the patient, checking on instruments, checking on equipment / devices, but no surgery check-listsare used in the workplaces fornow. For laparoscopic surgery, no great differences in activities were mentioned by perioperative nurses. There would only be some additional activities related to deployment, checking and control of devices. The spatial arrangement must ensure safety of the patient as well as personnel. The operation and control of devices and equipment is very challenging for perioperative nurses in terms of their technical skills and competences. The research concerning opportunities for further training of perioperative nurseshas showed that perioperative nurses prefer specialized training. As another method to refresh their knowledge, participation in workshops was mentioned by perioperative nurses. No other activities are pursued. The purpose of my thesis was to describe activities (duties) performed by perioperative nurses in their daily routine work and establish how they learn and addnew information and knowledge. Perioperative nursesmanage theactivities / operation of operating rooms. They are required to be familiar with the technique and operating procedures and faultlesslyhandle various types of instruments. Professional knowledge supports a smooth course and good quality results of surgery. All of that requires continuous control, training and expanding their knowledge. This thesis points out the need for employer'sinvestments in training and more proactive approach of perioperative nurses to lifelong learning. The research results could provide the basis for preparation of a lecture for perioperative nurses.

Life without a father: gain and loss
Rašínová, Iva ; Šírová, Eva (referee) ; Drlíková, Eva (advisor)
The number of fatherless families has risen radically due to a high divorce rate and rigid court decisions about custody over children after divorce. Over the last few decades, psychological findings highlight specific contribution of the father to the development of a child. Fatherless families have been focused on by many researchers, trying to identify fields of negative impact of growing up without a father. However, the results are mixed and do not give clear answers, one of the main reasons being the methodological difficulty to control all the important variables such as reason and duration of the father's absence ar availability of surrogate male models. In this study we propose to identify cue areas that absent-father-people view as specific both in a positive and negative sense. The grounded theory method was used to analyze the data gathered by open interviews with people who have never lived with a father or a father surrogate. The following categaries revealed by a coding process are discussed - partner relationships (especially of girls), locus of control, personality of the mother and her educational style and impact of broader family or community.
