Štubňová, Miroslava ; Greger, David (advisor) ; Walterová, Eliška (referee)
The aim of the thesis entitled Ninth grade primary school students in the town of Roudnice and their choice of the further course of education is to describe the factors that influence one's course of education, especially the choice of upper secondary educational institutions they decide to study, and empirically map this issue within the town of Roudnice. The theoretical part is divided into chapters according to factors that significantly influence students' choice of educational institutions during the ninth year of primary school. These factors are following: socio-economic background, family and gender, as well as psychological and developmental aspects of adolescence, during which the choice of a secondary school tends to be realized. These categories are then introduced through Czech and foreign researches. We also look at the transition between the lower and upper secondary education in terms of legislation and career counselling. The main part of the thesis is the empirical part, which includes a detailed description of our quantitative research and data analysis. The aim of the research is to map the decision making process in relation to the choice of the further course of education by Roudnice ninth grade students, or more specifically (1) what the most common characteristics of schools...

Czech and Moravian Christmas traditions
Mrtková, Veronika ; Dvořáková, Markéta (advisor) ; Dvořáková, Michaela (referee)
This dissertation is looking into the Czech and Moravian Christmas traditions in detail. The theoretical part provides a complete picture and characteristic of the Christmas period. The focus then turns to topics discussing the historical background, timelines, Christmas symbolic, sayings and mainly the Christmas traditions. The theory mostly draws on resources from expert literature, which is supplemented with information from other resources on the given topic. In the practical part, the author then analyzes the different ways of spending Christmas times in the Central Czech and South Moravian regions in depth. The course of the Christmas time was mapped by interviews with chosen respondents from contemporary Czech households. The adherence to or diversion from traditions, new trends and tendencies and the influence of commercialization on the Christmas holidays were given a higher importance. The closing chapter is dedicated to a comparison, whose main goal was to explain the eventual differences in adherence to Christmas traditions among sociocultural characteristics, mainly by the location.

Smoking - The Current Treatment Possibilities of Nicotine Addiction
CHYTILOVÁ, Monika
In comparison with other countries the Czech Republic has a relatively high prevalence of tobacco smoking. What is alarming is the growing number of 15-year-olds who smoke at least one cigarette a week. While in 1997 to 1998 this comprised 22% of boys and 18 % of girls, in 2001 to 2002 this figure had increased to almost 29% of boys and 31% of girls. Around 30 % of adults in this country are smokers, yet 70 % of these, i.e. around one and a half people, want to quit. Very few of them are successful without adequate therapy. This is also the reason why in 2008 a total of six tobacco addiction treatment centres were established.So far we have no accurate economic data relating to the costs of treating smoking and other health complications which result from smoking. There is, however, no reason to assume that these figures would be particularly different from those for other European countries. Some health insurance companies are aware of the high costs of treating smoking-related illnesses and are actively providing financial and non-financial support to those wishing to quit.The aim of this bachelor{\crq}s thesis was to determine how well-informed the population is as regards the options for treating nicotine addiction; also to map out the most common reasons that lead smokers to quit. In this work I have used the anonymous questionnaire technique to investigate this issue. A total of 100 people over the age of 15 were questioned. Hypothesis 1 assumes that the majority of the population knows about at least one way of treating nicotine addiction. Hypothesis 2 assumes that the majority of the population, if they smoke or if they were to smoke, would first seek expert advice from their GP. Hypothesis 3 assumes that the most important motive for stopping smoking is to save money.This work can be used as the basis for further bachelor{\crq}s or diploma theses on a similar topic, or to supplement courses at ZSF JU University in České Budějovice.

European dimension in a education of infant school
HAVLÍKOVÁ, Kateřina
ANNOTATION European Dimension in Education in Nursery Schools European dimension in education, as a means of education in European citizenship promoting European integration, is an integral part of the education at elementary schools, secondary schools, and of course at universities. The aim of this bachelor work is to find out if (and possibly how) European dimensions can be projected into the basic education, i.e. the education of the youngest children in nursery schools. That is why the framework of this work is divided into three fundamental units: The first part introduces and explains the term itself together with its history, present time, and context, in both European and domestic circumstances. The second part is a survey mapping the range of the European dimension in education in Czech nursery schools. The third part, in my opinion the most substantial one, proposes a project that would enrich the education in nursery schools with the European dimension by using such conceptions and such a way so that this dimension can be comprehensible also to the youngest group of learners.

From the search for new oncogenes to the effort of redefining the cancerogenesis phenomenon
Pajer, Petr ; Dvořák, Michal (advisor) ; Vodička, Pavel (referee) ; Eckschlager, Tomáš (referee)
The described experimental model of clonal tumors induced through the insertional mutagenesis with MAV-2 proved to be a valid and rich source of information describing the process of transformation of normal into tumor cell. We have mapped more than 2000 individual clonal VISs from several hundreds of tumor tissue samples. We have analyzed five tumor types of different histology and tissue of origin along with their derivative tissue cultures. Furthermore, we have discovered the industasis phenomenon and described it during the course of the study. The goal of my study was to uncover common reasons for neoplastic transformation of the cell. The results of my study led me to the paradoxical conclusion that the significance of genetic changes as the primary cause of induction of neoplastic transformation is being overestimated. Although studying the functions of individual genes and search for new tumor markers and therapeutical targets are still beneficial, I believe that the traditional perception of tumor formation as a function/result of mutation accumulation and selection is becoming a serious drawback in further investigations. These conclusions are further discussed in the last section of the presented Ph.D. thesis.

Art and sport
Černá, Michaela ; Havlásek Tatarová, Lucie (advisor) ; Synecký, Jakub (referee)
Title: Art and sport Summary: The main aim of this bachelor thesis is to describe and compare art and sport. The author wants to compare the moments in which they are similar, their progression or suppression. A movement is an inherent part of sport, which has become a great challenge for artists; it is remarkable how art deals with movement. Moreover, sport and recreation in the course of time are described here. Several chapters from the art history connected with sports have been chosen for this thesis; it starts with prehistoric ages and maps the art history until modern styles. The thesis is also concerned with the pedagogical use of teaching physical education and art. Starting with historical facts, this part of the thesis proceeds to the importance of these subjects and their use in schools nowadays. The real link between physical education and art is supported by a project for 12-year-old pupils of elementary schools, which deals with this subject. An inherent part of this thesis is the author's reflection describing the art project, author's feelings and reactions of the public to her art work.

Litvanová, Zdeňka ; Semerádová, Pavla (advisor) ; Slavický, Tomáš (referee)
43 Resumé The proposed thesis is an attempt to map the history of the beginnings and the life story of the pilgrimage locality of Kájov. The thesis is based on a research of preserved official documents and on testimonies of surviving eye witnesses. Among the termini a quo counts the history of the cultural and spiritual regime in Kájov and some of the events which influenced the functioning of the pilgrimage locality. In the course of time the socio- demographic structure of the inhabitants was changing along with political regimes which were responsible for persecutions of the spiritual leaders in Kájov. The thesis traces the impact of the spiritual tradition of a pilgrimage location and the influence of spiritual leaders in the musical and cultural life of the inhabitants of Kájov from the first written accounts until today. My objective is not only mapping of the history of the musical activities at the pilgrimage location of Kájov, but also an attempt to organize the remains of the Kájov music archives.

Nozokomiální nákazy šířené pracovníky intenzivní péče nemocnice Liberec
MARCINKOVÁ, Helena
The topic of my thesis is Nosocomial infections spread by the personnel of intensive care unit in the hospital in Liberec. The main reason for the choice of this topic was my encounter with this infection when I worked as a nurse during my practical training course. Nosocomial infection can be defined as an infection originating from the encounter between a micro-organism and a patient. The patient can be weakened by his or her primary disorder and therapeutic interventions. This fact helps create an optimal environment for spreading the infection. Nosocomial infections occur only in specific conditions. They represent a problem which is necessary to solve. They affect on average 5 to 10 % of patients. If they are present in organism, the course of primary disorder can worsen and the permanent consequence or death may occur. They also bring adverse economic consequences because they require significant financial costs linked to treatment with prolonged stay in hospital. My thesis was divided into two parts-theoretical and practical. In both of them I tried to find answers to my questions (in form of hypotheses). In theoretical part I described the history of nosocomial infections, which is narrowly related to construction of hospitals; then I mapped the origin and spread of nosocomial infections and also their laboratory diagnostics, treatment and prevention. In practical part I devoted myself to research which is focused on evaluation of level of sanitary washing in medical personnel in intensive care units, and also on personnel ´s knowledge of nosocomial infections by means of questionnaires. I evaluated eighty questionnaires, which were distributed in the hospital in Liberec. The questionnaires were also filled in by students of nursing subject at university in Liberec. These students perform their practical training in the hospital in Liberec. The results of research show that sanitary washing of medical personnel in intensive care unit is adequate and their knowledge of nosocomial infections is average. The knowledge of students is average, too. The research proves that sanitary washing is not an adequate prevention of nosocomial infections.
