The Working of Memory in Adults with Communication Disabilities
Nestávalová, Hana ; Housarová, Blanka (referee)
In spite of increasing interest at the problematic of memory, the field of memory and logopedia is "tabula rasa". Therefore I try to describe general view of memory at adult people with impaired communication ability in my paper "Memory achievement at adult people with impaired communication ability" . The aim of this work is to map memory function of these people with memory test made by myself. This test is focused on adult people with impaired communication ability and also on healthy adult people which work as a control sample. I also presume that thist test can fill up a blank in test materials for speech therapist and also work as a material for training.

Utilization of predatory mite Typhlodromus pyri Scheuten within IPM and organic hop growing
Nesvadba, David ; Pulkrábek, Josef (advisor) ; Kamil, Kamil (referee)
The objective of my work was to evaluate the efficiency of a native species of predatory mite Typhlodromus pyri Scheuten against two-spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae Koch) within IPM and organic hop growing and to find out if hop protection against T. urticae with the help of T. pyri can replace conventional hop protection based on miticides and if it can be profitable. The trials were carried out since 2011 till 2015 in three hop gardens at a research farm Stekník, which belongs to Hop Research Institute in Žatec (Saaz). The first experimental hop garden, where IPM is practiced, is called Černice I. The other one BIO is, as the name says, under organic regime. The third one called Kaplička (Little Chapel) I., served as a reference one because hop is grown there under a common conventional system with the use of miticides to control T. urticae. In regular intervals since the time when the first spider mites were observed at hop leaves till the harvest fifty leaves were sampled (17 from lower, 17 from middle and 16 from upper parts of hop plants) in the hop garden with IPM regime and in the organic hop garden. Population densities of eggs, mobile stages of T. urticae and T. pyri were assessed together with nymphs of predatory Thrips of the genus Aeolothrips, which occurred there naturally as the dominant native acarophagous predators. The results were statistically evaluated with the help of correlation analyses and t-test for independent groups. Efficiency of T. pyri and economical comparison with chemical protection were made as well. It is possible to conclude that after release of predatory mites and under using of selective pesticides the biodiversity is higher. Hop protection against two-spotted spider mite with the help of T. pyri can be profitable and it can replace chemical protection against this dangerous pest for many years. T. pyri is commonly more efficient if population density of T. urticae is lower. The tightest dependence at the level of 90% was statistically confirmed between occurrence of T. urticae eggs and its mobile stages. Statistically important difference was found out between the two different types of hop growing in the most of the cases.

Trapped Neutrophil Syndrome in a Border Collie Dogs
Brunclíková, Tereza ; Krejčířová, Romana (advisor) ; Chmelíková, Eva (referee)
Border Collie comes from the part of the United Kingdom which is called Border Country. It's a herding dog, which should be obedient, smart, lively, and attentive. For breeding, Border Collies must fulfil bonitation conditions. One of the mandatory tests is the test on hereditary neutropenia. Hereditary neutropenia is a disease which causes a fatal immune system failure. Immunity; or defences; is one of the basic features for survival. Basic ability of cells of the immune system is to recognize when in contact with other molecules the structure is inherent or not. Memory, which is another ability of the immune system, ensures a prompter, more intensive, and quicker response when meets already identified antigen repetitively. Neutrophils are granulocytes (a type of white blood cells), which contain granules. These granules have active substances which participate in inflammation and allergic reactions. Neutrophils are produced in the bone marrow. They are brought by bloodstream to the site of inflammation where they phagocytose bacteria. Hereditary neutropenia (Trapped Neurophil Syndrome - TNS) is a hereditary autosomal recessive disease. Hereditary disease is transferred from parents to offspring. In an autosomal recessive disease a feature is transferred by a recessive allele. A monitored feature is phenotypically shown just with recessive homozygotes. Heterozygotes are with no clinical signs of the disease but they cannot be phenotypically distinguished from dominant homozygotes. TNS is characterized by a significant lack of neutrophils in blood because they are not brought from the bone marrow into the blood circulation. This is caused by retention at the site of their origin - in the bone marrow. It is assumed that all cases of TNS are derived from one ancestor because in the pedigrees they have the same ancestor in the past six generations. Development of an affected dog is generally slowed down. Puppies have smaller size; and for TNS disease is typical a shape of facial skull which resembles a ferret. The individuals suffer from fever and swollen joints. Affected dogs are dying at an early age because of immune system failure. It was found that hereditary neutropenia is very similar to Cohen syndrome, which is a human disease. Both diseases have similar symptoms; it has been proved that both are caused by mutation of the same gene.

Image digitalization in radio diagnostics and application in mammography
Glatzner, Miloš ; Slanina, Martin (referee) ; Frýza, Tomáš (advisor)
The aim of this study was to analyze issues on digitalization in radiology, especially in mammography. Definition of the separate parts of the diagnostic chain with special accent on mammography imaging with several mammography digitalization designs according to various conditions is stated in the first part of the paper. Comparison between CR and DR systems is then provided in term of patient dose and in term of diagnostic efficacy followed by corresponding conclusions and recommendations. Further is being discussed the methodology of quality assurance in digital mammography. Methodics of single tests is adapted from European guidelines for quality assurance in breast cancer screening and diagnosis [7]. Set of tests enlisted in short-term stability tests national system is selected on the basis of recommended intervals and our specific conditions as described in the paper. Selected test were implemented into „ZPS“ software (VF a.s.) as a new module – digital mammography. This method is supposed to be optimal for a practical utilization, because several radiology departments already use this user friendly software, which also enables to follow the changes in legislation.

Psychosocial aspects of chronic disease cystic fibrosis - coping
Hodková, Pavla ; Kebza, Vladimír (referee) ; Hrachovinová, Tamara (advisor)
The Diploma Thesis is dealing with the role of coping strategies in a chronic disease with a special interest in a cystic fibrosis (CF) disorder. In the Introduction section the biology nature of the CF, its psychology impact, as well as, techniques of coping in the respect to chronic disease, mainly to CF, are presented. Moreover, the possibility of a psychology intervention is discussed. Experimental section is devoted to the research performed with the group of 104 individuals of which 63 were parents of CF patients and 41 were adult CF patients. In order to examine coping strategies used in the selected CF groups Cystic Fibrosis Coping Scale Questionary was applied. Obtained data were statistically interpreted using a SPSS software. Results of paired Student's t-test show partial significant differences in coping strategies between groups of adults CF patients and parents of CF patients, groups of men and women, and in group of parents of CF patients classified according to their age. However, in the group of parents no statistically significant differences in relation to the age of their sick children were found.

The role of the paramedic in the treatment of pain in the prehospital emergency care
ŠKOLKOVÁ, Aneta
The Bachelor thesis deals with a very current and spread topic in the sphere of the pre-hospital urgent care, it concerns the issue of pain and the role of the paramedic at its treatment in the pre-hospital urgent care. Pain is one of the most frequent indications initiating the medical ambulance service intervention. It is an affiliated and really essential stressor. The task for the paramedic is to help the patient suffering from pain and to use all ways of treatment which are possible to be applied in the sphere of the pre-hospital care. Therefore it is very important for the paramedics to be well informed on the issue of analgesia and to have good theoretical knowledge and to be able to apply it in practice. The theoretical part deals with the complex issue which is related to pain and with the role of the paramedic. At the beginning of the work there are defined basic concepts concerning the wide issue of pain, i.e. its types and categories form the localization point of view. Further, there is described the basic examination and getting information from the patient which form the integral part of information and data for consequent diagnosing and its possible therapies in the pre-hospital care. Therefore there is also a detailed elaboration of evaluating scales including the children´s ones. In order to get a sight into the issue of pain treatment there is integrated the subchapter concerning the invasive and non-invasive methods in the work. Next, the attention of the work is mostly focused on defining concepts of the pre-hospital urgent care and on the competences of the paramedic which form an integral part of the knowledge of this profession. It is related to possibilities of non-pharmacology and pharmacology treatment in the pre-hospital urgent care, which the specialist can use. The practical part was focused on recording of knowledge and procedures of paramedics in the process of pain treatment in the pre-hospital urgent care. There was carried out the whole republic inquiry using the quantitative method of anonymous questionnaire form. It was designed for the medical care workers working as paramedics. All regions in the Czech Republic were contacted; however, only eleven joined the research. Upon agreement with the managers of non-medical workers the questionnaires were delivered to paramedics. There were sent out 210 questionnaires while their return was 71.43% (150). All questionnaires were included in the consequent resultant inquiry. Responding paramedics were informed on the character of the research and assured that the anonymity of their person and the provided information will be preserved. The questionnaire involved 17 questions in total and the first five questions were statistical ones. The questions were focused on knowledge of analgesia and on procedure used by paramedics in the fieldwork. Questions 2, 4, 4a, 4b, 5, 8, 8a, 10, 10a, 11 were selected in order to get information whether the responding paramedics have knowledge on the issue of analgesia an in order to get base for answering the research question. The obtained information was consequently evaluated. Each question was answered individually and then transferred into diagrams (sometimes only into charts), which show their absolute and (mostly) relative frequency of obtained answers. The stated research question was (on the basis of the above mentioned 10 questions) evaluated by means of chi quadrate test. The obtained level of significance refused the stated ideal statement and confirmed results of the research which says that the knowledge of the paramedics is insufficient. The goal of the work was to record possibilities of pain treatment in the pre-hospital urgent care by the paramedic and it was fulfilled. Statistically evaluated questionnaire inquiry and answer to the research question show that further education of paramedics as well as their accepting the complex view of the issue is absolutely necessary.

The Youth of selected infectious alimentary disease preventiv in the region Milevsko
VINKLEROVÁ, Lucie
Foodborne diseases form a large group of infectious diseases. These substantial diseases are occurring more in developing countries but they do not avoid developed countries. The originators of the disease are bacteria and their toxins, viruses, parasites and prions, whose source is an infected person or animal. The disease is passed on by contaminated soil, contaminated water and food, sometimes contaminated items. Greatest importance in the prevention of foodborne disease are nonspecific measures, protection of drinking water, safe food production, waste disposal, functional sewer system, rodenticides and insecticides measures and of course the principles of personal hygiene, certain standards of hygiene and health education of the population. Intestinal infections are preventable. The consumer can effectively protect by following the fundamental principles established by the World Health Organization. The aim of this study was to explore knowledge of foodborne disease prevention measures and compliance with these principles by adolescents in the Milevsko region. The theoretical part of the study summarizes the basic information about intestinal diseases and describes their effect on health from a variety of perspectives. The preventive measures which everyone should be aware of and apply them in everyday life to protect health are described in great detail. The paper summarizes the information about the process of spreading foodborne diseases and epidemiological measures focused on supply, routes of transmission and susceptible individuals. The theoretical part includes basic information about specific intestinal infections which are most significant for the population in the Czech Republic. Briefly described are treatment of these diseases and the most important legislative measures. In the research part quantitative research was applied by questionnaire. The research groups were students of higher secondary vocational schools and vocational schools in the region Milevsko. Three hypotheses were formulated. Statistical hypothesis testing was performed using the t test. The values of the achieved significance level are compared with a predetermined level of significance. The first hypothesis assumed that knowledge about prevention of intestinal diseases is higher among girls than boys. This statement has not been confirmed. Knowledge of the principles of prevention does not differ according to the criteria of gender. Two further hypotheses assumed that the observance of hygienic measures in the prevention of foodborne disease is higher among girls than among boys and higher for high-school graduates than apprentices. These hypotheses are valid. Precautionary principles are indeed respected more by girls than boys and high-school graduates than apprentices. The carried out research shows that adolescents in the region Milevsko have a good knowledge of foodborne infections and do known also essential preventive measures. However, knowledge of these rules does not mean they are applied in practice. The results showed that some rules, such as washing fruits and vegetables before eating, adequate boiling or roasting of food, especially hand hygiene before eating food or after contact with an animal are observed by a smaller percentage of respondents than that reported knowledge of these principles. A positive finding is that respondents comply with certain rules, without being aware of them, such as the principle of proper preservation of precooked food. Foodborne diseases are diseases which can be prevented in compliance with precautionary principles. Especially in the Czech Republic, where nonspecific principles are at a high level. It is up to each user/consumer how consistent these principles will be. Respecting preventive measures is a prerequisite for reducing the incidence of foodborne disease in the population.
