A design of software applicable in occupational therapy A design, realization and evaluation of a PC program for shopping practice for people with cognitive deficits
Rohlenová, Eva ; Rodová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Svobodová, Tereza (referee)
The main goal of this thesis was to design a computer program applicable in occupational therapy in cognitive rehabilitation. I designed a PC program focused on shopping practice. Its main advantages are: the absence of any charges, the possibility of using it on an ordinary PC and the accessibility via the Internet. The designed program, named Trénink nakupování (~Shopping training), had been implemented in a beta version. Afterwards, it was tested and evaluated with a questionnaire by five stroke patients. The results show that all patients evaluated the program very positively and they believe in its benefits for the rehabilitation. The theoretical part describes cognitive training and shopping from the perspective of an occupational therapist. Four PC training programs focused on shopping training are described. Other sections provide detailed information about the designed program. The practical part consists of testing, the evaluation of questionnaires and suggesting ways to improve the program in the future. Key words: cognitive rehabilitation, cognitive training, iADL, shopping, program design, computer-assisted training, PC program, brain injury Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

The thesis deals with the definition of works of authorship and the conditions in which the computer program is a work of authorship, at least as a legal fiction. For the term computer program, the thesis is trying to find a suitable definition that is sufficiently general, but also accurately captures it's notion. Various known forms of expression of the computer program (source code, machine code, but also a code in an intermediate language) are described and the thesis explains, why it is appropriate to protect the computer program in any form. The thesis clarifies, why the term "software" and the term "computer program" are not identical and arbitrarily exchanging them can cause problems. Furthermore, the thesis deals with the author of the computer program and co-authorship. The next part deals with the rights of the author of the work. The exclusive rights of the author (the moral rights of the author and copyright) are discussed. The thesis describes the rights of exploitation of a computer programs, with a focus on differences againts other works of authorship.
