Quality of life of patients with peripheral arterial disease
HRADOVÁ, Helena
Theoretical foundation Arterial disease which gradually leads to narrowing of artery, up to complete vascular closure and to subsequent manifestation of ischaemia is called ischaemic disease of the lower extremities (IDLE). We need to understand ischaemic disease of the lower extremities not only as a disease causing patients a range of difficulties and significantly impacting their life quality, but also as a very important indicator of overall cardiovascular condition of whole organism. Ischaemic disease of the lower extremities becomes more and more accepted as a chronic disease associated with a substantial cardiovascular risk. This disease causes primarily walking limitation by which it impacts daily activities and significantly decrease the life quality. Goal of the thesis: A goal was set for the thesis: Finding out in which areas the ischaemic disease of the lower extremities impacts the life quality. Hypotheses: 6 hypotheses were set for the thesis: H1: Patients with IDLE feel pain H2: Patients with IDLE are limited in moving H3: Patients with IDLE are limited socially H4: Patients with IDLE feel concern for their future H5: Patients with IDLE perceive their life quality as a low one. H6: Patients with IDLE are limited in the area of basic daily activities. Methodology: The research part of the thesis was implemented based on quantitative inquiry within the grant Project No. 120/2012/S ?Reflection of life quality in nursing?. For the empirical part of the thesis the quantitative method was used, the survey was carried out in form of questionnaires, more precisely a standardized questionnaire EQ-5D-5L, selected questions from a questionnaire WHOQOL 100 and specific non-standardized complementary questions for patients with ischaemic disease of the lower extremities. The survey was carried out by addressing practising physicians , doctors from specialized outpatient departments and inpatient wards. Nurses who were, along with the doctors, responsible for explaining the significance of the survey to the patients were an integral part to the data gathering process. The respondents were selected intentionally, the basic factor of selection was presence of the ischaemic disease of the lower extremities. The selection sample was designed using selective quota, the only quota being the age of respondent. Results: All results obtained were statistically processed in the SASD (Statistical Analysis of Social Data) software. The results were divided into three areas. Firstly results describing the structure of selection sample, secondly results depicted graphically and thirdly results processed using a descriptive statistics. The last two areas were then arranged according to the used questionnaire. The results provided us with information regarding patients' perceiving of pain, the difficulties in moving, the social area, the basic daily activities, the concerns for the future and subjective perceiving ot the life quality. Based on the results, the set hypotheses were evaluated as follows: H1: Patients with IDLE feel pain ? confirmed, H2: Patients with IDLE are limited in moving - confirmed, H3: Patients with IDLE are limited socially - confirmed, H4: Patients with IDLE feel concern for their future - confirmed, H5: Patients with IDLE perceive their life quality as a low one ? not confirmed, H6: Patients with IDLE are limited in the area of basic daily activities - confirmed. Conclusion: The thesis provides a comprehensive view on the areas impacting the life quality of patients with ischaemic disease of the lower extremities. In practice the results can facilitate the choice of effective intervention and improve communication with patients, especially due to the gained knowledge. The results will be published in journals and presented at conferences. The results could also be used as a foundation for another survey and as a studying material for students of nursing.

Paradoxes of liberal liberty: revision of the classical assumptions of freedom
Kolínský, Ondřej ; Mlčoch, Lubomír (advisor) ; Skuhrovec, Jiří (referee)
Current criticism of liberalism is usually based on ad hoc economic and social arguments. In this bachelor thesis, on the contrary, we seek to verify to what extent the very core of the classical liberal doctrine is consistent with the findings of modern economics. In the first part, we examine the writings of the fathers of economic liberalism; Jeremy Bentham, John Stuart Mill and Friedrich August von Hayek. On their grounds, we describe and specify the type of liberty this paper is concerned with. Also, we show what beliefs these philosophers held regarding the question of human rationality. In the second part, we provide some philosophical background to the question of freedom and explain how it is interconnected with rationality. Finally, in the third part, we draw some empirical findings from behavioral economics, which aims at explaining the disparity between preferences and actual decisions of people. By contrasting these discoveries with the original liberal ideas, we are able to identify specific points, where the classical theorists incline to misleading beliefs. The aim of this paper is to assess how grave the implications of these errors are and how they could be addressed within the framework of liberalism. We also estimate their impact on the market interaction and examine possible...

Nursing Care of Klients with Fractured Distal Femur
VOPÁLKOVÁ, Milena
The name of this Bachelors thesis is "Nursery Care of Patients with Fractured Distal Femur". With view to the lengthening of the populations age, increasing popularity of adrenalin sports and development of traffic we can expect an increasing number of this serious type of injury, and therefore it is time to address the issues of nursery care of the clients with this type of fracture. Fracture of the distal part of femur often happens suddenly and unexpectedly and the client has to deal with a health problem, which brings about a lot of changes as regards his/her health, psychic and social situation. The purpose of this thesis is to map the nursing specifics and nursing problems experienced by clients with a fractured distal femur from the nurses point of view. Through an analysis of a research survey we will summarize the thesis outcomes and determine the specifics of possible complications under the nursery care of such clients. Hence, the thesis contains two fundamental parts: theoretical and empirical. The theoretical part deals with the historical development of nursing and care provided as regards these fractures, the anatomy of lower limbs and causes of such fractures. It also addresses the basic classification of such fractures, principles of an osteosynthesis therapy, education, nursing and rehabilitation care. The empirical part includes a research survey with two predetermined goals mapping the specifics and complications within the nursing care of clients with a distal femur fracture. With view to the fact that various specifics and complications within the nursing care in the period before and after surgery were ascertained, they were categorized as pre-surgery and post-surgery specifics and complications. The research survey found out that one specific is differing pre-surgery nursing care of the clients with a fractured distal femur, mainly provided that stabilisation of the fractured part is executed by means of a skeletal traction or a patch traction or through a knee brace. The ascertained nursing complications are related to such immobilization interventions. According to the interviewed nurses the nursing procedure is even more diverse, mainly as regards the injured clients mobility and the nursing care. Other specifics of the nursing care are monitoring of locomotion and sensitivity of the traumatized lower limb, antidecubitus care, aself-care deficit and a possible risk of the lever action impact on the distal femur when moving on the bed. Specifics of the post-surgery nursing care regarding clients with a knee brace are: monitoring of locomotion and sensitiveness of the lower limb, correct manipulation with the knee brace, care of the locomotion, a risk of the lever action impact on the osteosynthesis area mainly when the client is sitting on the bed with lowered limbs or doing exercise on the motor splint. Nursing complications ascertained during the post-surgery period are mainly an oedema and a haematoma of the surgical wound place, urine and faeces emptying disorders, inadequate relief of acute pain, decubites under the knee brace or on the heels, long-term deficit of the clients self-care due to the traumatic consequences and other possible complications as described in this thesis. Outcomes of this thesis are two simple mind maps, which are a part of this thesis. The first mind map shows the nursing care specifics as regards a client with a fractured distal femur and the second describes the most frequent complications and interventions of a nurse within the nursing care as regards a client with a fractured distal femur. The outcomes of this thesis can serve as an information material for traumatology unit nurses and also for nurses working in other complements.

Sight translation - speaking versus writing
Hradecká, Emma ; Rejšková, Jana (referee) ; Čeňková, Ivana (advisor)
ln this thesis we addressed tbe subject of sight translation. This special type of interpreting is often not given adequate academic attention even though it can be considered one of tbe most di:fficult exercises due to its dichotomie character. Sight translation is Dot mere transfer from one language to another, it is also transfer from written mode to oral mode. Tbe most important characteristics, as well as the largest area of differentiation ... of written and oral texts is syntax. Therefore, we centred our research on this issue. Dur research is qua1itative, with no hypothesis. We merely describe tbe situation in sight translation from English into Czech. We chose non-participant observation as tbe method of our research, thus decreasing tbe number of variables. Tbe ohservation took place from January 2006 to Seplember 2007 during Stale Final Exams al the Department of Translation Studies af tbe Charles University in Prague. AH students specialized in interpreting. The empirical material consists of 13 origina1 texts and 13 interpreters' renditions. In tbe theoretical part of our tbesis we briefly characterise sight translation, drawing mainly on tbe doctoral thesis of Jimenez-Ivars (1999). Then we discuss tbe translatological aspects of tbe difIerence between written and oral texts, quoting Shlesinger...

The use of the Rorschach method in psychological assessment of paraphilias
Soukupová, Tereza ; Weiss, Petr (advisor) ; Šípek, Jiří (referee) ; Zvěřina, Jaroslav (referee)
This dissertation thesis addresses the use of Rorschach Inkblot Method in the psychological assessment of paraphilias. In the theoretical part of the thesis we summarize the findings about paraphilias, describe Exner's Comprehensive System for coding the Rorschach and present published research works with the Rorschach in the filed of sexual deviance. The empirical part contains the description of our reseach project. We looked for rorschach variables that would differ between pedophiles and rapists in the group of 78 men diagnosed with paraphilia. We have found statistically significant differences between the groups of pedophiles and rapists in several variables. These variables are in both groups related to the cluster Selfperception and Interpersonal perception, in the group of rapists also to the cluster Processing and in the group of pedophiles to the cluster Controls. We have also found statistically significant differences between normative data and our research sample almost in all selected variables.

International assignments with concentration on the effects of culture differences in a work process
Chytráčková, Kateřina ; Pivoňková, Lucie (referee) ; Tureckiová, Michaela (advisor)
In my work I intend to prove that the issue of international assignment is a very broad area, with a theoretical background in many scientific disciplines, including adult education, intercultural communications, social psychology, human resources management and others. Despite global tendencies and culture convergence there are significant differences in merits, positions and moral values that are shared among members of each culture. These cultural differences might bring specific problems into communication with other culture members and they might also lead to misunderstanding and conflicts. For a better understanding of another culture it is very important to get to know the specific cultural differences and learn to respect them. For a successful work in the international environment it is necessary to master another important competence - an ability to communicate in the multicultural environment. In my work I will address the above mentioned issues. In the empirical part of my work I will demonstrate on the foreign assignments how to prevent problems that are linked with cultural differences and various corporate cultures and outline ways how to solve these problems.

Integrated rescue system activities on traffic accident sites with the intention of Czech Police department tasks and objectives.
BLÁHOVEC, Václav
Quick and professional action by the units of the Integrated Rescue System at the scenes of road traffic accidents is essential primarily for saving people´s lives and health, of secondary importance is the protection of property and the environment. If there is a road traffic accident which by its scope and nature requires units of the Integrated Rescue System to be called out, the individual intervening entities do what they can to reduce or eliminate the consequences of these exceptional events not only for the individuals concerned but also for the wider vicinity. The goal of this thesis is to analyse the tasks of the units of the Integrated Rescue System, and the Police Force of the Czech Republic within their framework, at the scenes of road traffic accidents and to summarise theoretical approaches to this question with references to valid legal standards. The theoretical part addresses acccident rate trends in the Czech Republic, it defines the term traffic accident and the term Integrated Rescue System. It maps the activities of the units of the Integrated Rescue System at the scenes of road traffic accidents and specifies procedures of the individual units at the scene of intervention with emphasis on the role and tasks of the Police Force of the Czech Republic. It provides a complex overview of the issue with an account of the related legal standards and documents. The empirical section contains an analysis and comparison of the call outs of the units of the Integrated Rescue System, using as its base theoretical approaches, joint tactical exercises and the interventions themselves at the scenes of accidents. The results and the conclusion provide information about the importance and essential nature of coordinated cooperation between the individual units of the Integrated Rescue System, they evalute the current level of interaction and the need for joint exercises in order constantly to perfect interventions, in the interest of the goal of saving the lives and health of people and protecting property and the environment.
