Finanční analýza konkrétního podniku
Walica, Michal ; Mikan, Pavel (advisor) ; Klečka, Jiří (referee)
The enterprise is an activity which is necessary to be continually analysed, revised and improved. The financial analysis is a tool to complex evaluation of financial situation and company management. It enables us to find, through some indicators, weak and strong points of a company and then to recommend us on what we should focus or what we should improve. The financial analysis also serves as an important source of information not only for the company itself (owners, managers, employees) but also for the subjects cooperating with the company (investors, suppliers, banks), as well as for the state and its bodies. The main aim of the thesis was to prepare a financial analysis to a given company and thereby apply the theoretical knowledge gained during the university studies. The analysis has been worked up for a period of five years (2005 -- 2009). All data have been taken from the provided annual reports of the company. Of course, the financial analysis made from openly available information is not able to answer all the questions; nevertheless it is a good source of information about the company management in the past as well as a possible recommendation to the future.

Siegelová, Jana ; Sedlak, Petr (advisor) ; Zamrazilová, Hana (referee)

Death and dying in the work of nurses
BOHDALOVÁ, Jaroslava
Dying is a process composed of three consequential phases. It starts with the pre-dying period then there is the dying period and it is finished by the post - mortem period. Every period has its own specificity and hospital nurses have to be able to look after a person passing through the successive dying periods, and they have to percive him/her as a holistic being including his/her biological, psychological, social and spiritual needs that also have to be satisfied. Even in the post - mortem period a dead patient has the right to be treated with regard and respect. The most important link in all the periods is communication with both the dying patient and his/her family and the survivors after his/her death. The target of the thesis was to find out how hospital nurses perceive taking care of a dying person in hospitals and how hospital nurses look after a dead body. The following research questions were stated: How is the dying period perceived by hospital nurses? What obstructions in communication are there between hospital nurses and survivors? How do hospital nurses look after dead bodies? To figure out the investigation the method of qualitative research with the use of depth interview was used. The respondents were willing to record the interviews which were verbally - rewritten and then subjected to the contents analysis by the method paper and pencil. From the research it is clear that hospital nurses can cope with dying and death. However, taking care of dying people is not easy. Hospital nurses try to comfort the dying and satisfy their biological, psychological and social needs. But it is an alarming discovery that no spiritul needs are satisfied at all.Taking care of a dying person also involves communication with his/her family, hospital nurses try to meet all the wishes and needs. Hospital nurses do not use touching and listening while communicating with a dying patient, they do not even mention the stages by Elisabeth Kübler - Ross. The lack of time and suitable premises inhibits nurses from communication with survivors. Besides the form "Information for survivors" which includes the necessary details of arranging funerals and hospital social worker´s telephone number, hospital nurses do not provide any information, they do not even have any knowledge how to conduct survivors. Hospital nurses take care of dead bodies with regard and respect in terms of hospital standard. Care is provided in the room itself, if there is the lack of space, a screen is used so that other patients can not see the dead body. Survivors can part with the dead patient in the hospital room. There is no special room for that purpose. More than half of respondents is not educated in the field of dying and death any longer. On the basis of the research investigation and after the consultation with the senior nursing officer the training course will be organized. The topic of the training course will concentrate on the dying period and death with intent to the stages by Elisabeth Kübler - Ross, spiritual needs of dying patients, ways of communication with dying patients and how to conduct survivors. The form "Information for survivors" will be supplied with further information which can help survivors cope with the difficult situation that has occured. Other discovered facts, for example, the lack of suitable premises, time and staff can not be influenced by the respondents, but it could surely be influenced by the hospital management.

The role of nursing in the prevention of eating disorders
ŠENKÝŘOVÁ, Tereza
Prevention of eating disorders is important because eating disorders are one of the most common and serious diseases adolescent girls and young women may suffer from, with severe somatic, psychological and social consequences. The treatment of eating disorders is tricky and not always successful. This is a disease for which it is difficult to induce the necessary motivation and cooperation of the patient for treatment. Patients suffering from eating disorders have a distorted image of their body, body weight and body shape. An excessive weight loss has an impact on health. The most serious complications are cardiovascular complications, which may lead up to death. Anorexia nervosa is a psychiatric illness with high mortality, which reaches up to 18%. The first objective of the thesis was to survey the risk of eating disorders occurrence in pupils of the second level of primary school. The second objective was to map the awareness of pupils of the second grade of primary school and to identify the source of information. To meet the objectives quantitative research was used. As a method of data collection the questionnaire technique was chosen. The standardized questionnaire EAT - 26, containing 26 closed questions, was used at the research. Another part of our questionnaire included 5 closed questions to get the respondents' identification data, and 2 semi-closed questions. In the case of a positive answer it was necessary to write down the answer which was given by all the pupils with positive answers, and 1 semi-enclosed question with the possibility to add another answer. The questionnaire was completed by 141 pupils of the 5th ? 9th grades of the Primary school Grünwaldova in České Budějovice. The results show that the risk of eating disorders in girls and boys is comparable. According to the obtained results, the risk of eating disorders development is the least in the 5th grade pupils, because they are less concerned about their own looks, physique and body weight than the respondents from higher grades. Satisfaction with the body weight is the highest in the fifth grades, it decreases in higher grades pupils. In our respondents the risk of eating disorders did not appear, yet it is necessary to avoid an increase of that risk. It is necessary to highlight the educational and preventive role of a nurse. She can prevent the possible increased risk of the development of eating disorders later in life or even the onset of anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa.

The "Non-citizen" Issue in Latvia during the EU Accession Process
Kofránková, Alžběta ; Švec, Luboš (advisor) ; Vykoukal, Jiří (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to examine the attitude of the European Union to the non- citizen issue in Latvia during the accession talks and its impact on legislative changes in Latvia in this area. The thesis asks such questions as whether Latvia has fulfilled all formal and informal criteria of the accession to the European Union concerning non-citizens and whether the recommendations that were part of the European Commission's regular reports were effective. Further I would like to answer the question how important the other two international bodies were, the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe and the Council of Europe, and to what extent the European Union was dependent on their recommendations. Using primary and secondary sources, I will try to show that the main aim of the reports was to improve the situation of non-citizens in Latvia, bringing in the standards of the European Union. Becoming a member of the European Union, Latvia has theoretically fulfilled the required conditions; the question is what the situation has been like in practice.

Internal and External Security in the European Union. The changing role of police and military in a post-modern state
Weiss, Tomáš ; Drulák, Petr (advisor) ; Bureš, Oldřich (referee) ; Kříž, Zdeněk (referee)
This thesis analyses the security policy of the European Union and one of its member states. It aims at answering the question, whether internal and external security blurs in the EU, especially the differences between the two major security institutions - military and police. Using the concept of ideal types, an ideal type of a difference between the two bodies is introduced and subsequently tested on reality - on two case studies of the EU and the Czech Republic. There are three partial objectives: to find out if the roles of the military and the police blur at the level of the EU, if the European integration strengthens such blurring in the member states, and if the two bodies blur in a post-modern nation state. The thesis concludes that the real impact of declaratory changes is rather limited. Visible changes are caused by a subordination of external security concerns to prevention of internal ones. All changes are reversible easily, once the security discourse or political choices alter. The military and the police remain two distinct forces with different tasks and work methods.

Consciousness and unconsciousness. Theoretical analysis
Skála, Pavel ; Kebza, Vladimír (advisor) ; Uhlář, Pavel (referee)
This theoretical study is looking into consciousness, unconsciousness and concepts that are associated with it. It also goes back to the historical approach to these two terms, yet it points out the terminological obstacles that are inseparably connected with them. Both constructs are being discussed from an integrated perspective therefore neither mapping of the neurobiology of consciousness nor the summary of the major approaches to the philosophical mind-body problem, is left out of consideration. The unconsciousness research methods are divided according to the predominant focus into experimental and clinical. The study also covers an analysis as well as a review of significant theoretical approaches to consciousness and unconsciousness. These theoretical concepts were classified based on distinction of relevant scientific disciplines that are used to describe the problems in question. Neurobiological, psychological and philosophical theories were later categorized according to this method. The final conclusion brings a complex overview of these topics previously dealt with in the study. It attempts to integrate the findings into a comprehensive framework and to deal with some general issues that indicate possibilities and limits of the theoretical and practical research into both phenomena....
