A Birth Plan- vision and reality
MOŠOVÁ, Kristina
Child Delivery Plan {--} Vision and Reality New approaches to the management of a child delivery and to the care of mothers and newborns have been currently emerging in midwifery, and an increasing number of women come to the delivery room with a child delivery plan. The plan mostly contains the requirements for the manner of the delivery management, presence of the partner and usage of various aids. The last-mentioned requirement involves the basic issue of the relationship between the child delivery plan and the nursing staff. Women have all sorts of requirements and the objective of the midwives should be to satisfy their wishes. However, they often face the problem of missing premises and aids necessary for fulfilment of the wishes of their clients. This bachelor thesis has two objectives, namely to ascertain to what extent the requirements and the wishes specified in delivery plans of women in labour are fulfilled in delivery rooms, and whether midwives have the conditions to fulfil the wishes. The theoretical part describes the issue of the manner of a delivery management, the form and the content of a child delivery plan, with the emphasis placed on specification of the most common requirements of women, and the role of a midwife in the care of a pregnant woman, woman in labour and puerpera. The research results have confirmed the raised hypotheses. The requirements of the women in labour who come to the delivery room with a delivery plan are satisfied. Mothers express satisfaction with the care in maternity hospital in dependence on the degree of fulfilment of their child delivery plan. The research questions were formulated as follows. Do midwives have the conditions to fulfil the child delivery plans? Are the requirements raised by women in labour feasible in the conditions of the maternity hospital? On the basis of the qualitative research we have obtained the answers to the research questions that can be formulated in hypotheses. Midwives have the conditions to fulfil child delivery plans. The requirements of women in labour are feasible in the conditions of the maternity hospital.

Social meanings of local food and its consumption
Loučímová, Barbora ; Zagata, Lukáš (advisor) ; Jiří, Jiří (referee)
Farmers markets, system of bio-boxes, community supported agriculture, yard sale and stores, is a summary of alternative forms of selling local food which can be found on our market. On the other side the newly established sections or shelves in supermarkets are
starting to provide and include local food in their product range only after consumer pressure.
Local food does not fall into one particular definition. Each of us under this designation can specified to what extent or distance of locality means to him. These foods have several advantages over conventional foods. Among the advantages is included growing in the Czech Republic, the absence of imports from distant countries, harvesting food at the time of ripening and more.
Labeling, labeling method itself and the importance of brands is described in chapter political viewpoint.

Baxa, Jan ; Ferda, Jiří (advisor) ; Vymazal, Josef (referee) ; Mechl, Marek (referee)
Coronary atherosclerosis imaging using CT coronary angiography in patients with high risk of coronary heart disease Coronary heart disease (CHD) belongs to most frequent disorders and in industrial countries is responsible for most deaths in population. The costs of treatment of the clinical manifested CHD are high, so there is tendency to detect this disease in early phase and ideally before development of clinical symptoms. Aim of our study was to evaluate the value of coronary CT angiography (CCTA) in detecting of coronary atherosclerosis in early (preclinical) phase. Our goals were estimation of prevalence of atherosclerosis in group, influence of main risk factors on grade and character of atherosclerotic changes. In follow-up we concerned on occurrence of cardiac events. 205 patients with increased cardiovascular risk underwent CCTA using dual-source CT. Coronary findings were analyzed by character of atherosclerotic changes and degree of event. stenosis. Statistical evaluation of influence of risk factors was made using the odds ratio. The statistically important differences were tested between subgroup of type 2 diabetics and non-diabetics. All patients were under follow-up for two years. Overall prevalence of atherosclerosis in analyzed group was 73 %, calcified lesions were found in 63.9 %...

STR genotyping of Czech medieval population: archeologocal site in Mlekojedy (Litoměřice)
Brynychová, Veronika ; Hájek, Martin (advisor) ; Šimková, Halina (referee)
The aim of this diploma thesis was the initial genetic analysis of early mediaeval burial site from Mlekojedy polycultural locality (Litoměřice District, Czech Republic). Autosomal STR markers were chosen because of the following reasons. The high degree of polymorphism of these markers and the high extent of heterozygosity favor the use of STRs instead of mitochondrial DNA for the structural analysis of small populations. Usefulness of STR typing for validation purposes was demonstrated many times before. We used primers for miniSTRs to obtain the fullest results. Nuclear DNA was extracted from 35 % of bone samples and 91 % of teeth. We detected lower PCR amplification success rate of fragments longer than 150 bp and very high rate of allele drop-out which is sign of degraded DNA. Twelve reliable genotypes were determined for TH01 marker. Observed allele frequency and genetic diversity values were discussed in comparison with recent populations and other aDNA studies of burial sites. Keywords: ancient DNA, STR markers, miniSTR, early medieval burial site, Czech population

VANĚČEK, Václav
The Bachelor's degree thesis, "Selected economic and social indicators of the People's Republic of China for the last period. Basic trends", aims to describe the economic and social situation of PRC during the last period and to capture the underlying economic trends. As the key source for this thesis was used the publication by Ronald Coase, How China Became Capitalist. The first part of this work is devoted to the beginnings of the socialist market economy and the character of Deng Xiao Ping. This part mainly focuses on the reform period since the early 70s. Another part deals with the analysis of the key macroeconomic indicators and comparing official statistics of the Chinese Statistical Office with the data from the internet portals such as The World Bank or OECD. The last part of the thesis is devoted to other frequently mentioned topics such as China's position in the BRICS group, the last five-year plan or changes in the social climate during the last period.

"..and he must be able to ride the horse primarily, and the grammar afterwards." The nobleman and the horse in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
KRAMPEROVÁ, Petra
The presented degree work sets the aim of introducing one of typical displays of aristocratic life - horse riding and horse racing ? in the actual example of primogeniture and secondo geniture of the noble family Schwarzenberg in the 19th and early 20th centuries. As the basic information sources there were used aristocratic large estates collections, some sources of personal character and, last but not least, iconographic sources. The first part of work deals with the horse-breeding at aristocratic estates. It acquaints with the organization of horse raising on Schwarzenberg horse-breeding farms, raised horse breeds, and clarifies the purposes of raising such animals. Above all, this part asks the question to what extent the nobleman himself participated in the organization of horse breeding and what personal relationship to these creatures he experienced. The second part introduces in detail some activities which brought gentlefolk diversion and enjoyment, especially horse races, equestrianism, carousels, and of course, hunts and hunting pastime. All these activities were the privilege of upper classes, but in the 19th century they greatly influenced the other social classes and became the base for modern equestrianism we know today. The last part dwells on horses with relation to the arts. This noble animal has always been the Muse of artists and the symbol of nobility, elegance, speed and power. Till now in the castle collections we have been tracing a large number of horse portraits (either with their noble owners or without them) and horse- riding scenes. Even the horse equipment - harness, sledge or horse-drawn couches - were reflected in arts. And such equipment could have been displayed as a work of art in noble family galleries, or at least created the period atmosphere of magnificent winter man?ges.

The role of pediatric nurse and midwife in the laboratory screening of newborns
CHVÁTALOVÁ, Lenka
Newborn laboratory screening represents a pro-active blanket search for diseases in their early, pre-clinical stages. It uses an analysis of a dried blood drop on filtration paper. The blood is taken under specific conditions from all newborns born on the territory of the Czech Republic. The blood samples are collected by midwives and pediatric nurses, who are responsible for correct execution of the test. In 2009 the number of screened diseases increased from nine to thirteen. The samples are accompanied with double NCR cards to record all data about the newborn and the conditions of blood collection, including an NCR copy of demographical data. The midwife or pediatric nurse shall instruct the mother who should be present during the blood collection. In the theoretical part the author deals with the history of newborn screening, characteristics of the newborn screening and its principles, tested diseases, preparation, procedure and care after the test. The practical part used a combination of quantitative and qualitative research survey. The quantitative survey used inquiring with a questionnaire technique. The objective number 1 of the survey was to map the knowledge of pediatric nurses/midwifes about laboratory screening of newborns. The objective 1 was fulfilled. The hypothesis formulated in connection with the objective was: Pediatric nurses and midwives are familiar with the principles of laboratory screening. The hypothesis was confirmed. The research technique used for the qualitative survey was an in-depth interview. The objective number 2 was to map obstacles to the laboratory screening of newborns from the viewpoint of pediatric nurses and midwives. The objective 2 was fulfilled. The research question formulated in connection with the objective was: What are the obstacles to the collection of samples for laboratory screening of newborns? The research question was answered. The most frequent obstacles are poor blood flow, necessity to make more than one puncture and the fact that one prescribed drop of blood may not be sufficient for the testing. This bachelor degree thesis may serve as a source of information and study material for students of midwifery. The results of the research may be used as a teaching material at the University of South Bohemia.

Adipocytokines are a group of adipose tissue-derived cytokines that have been discovered since early nineties. The role of selected adipocytokines in the prostate carcinoma and in selected joint diseases was evaluated. In the first part of this work the role of adiponectin and resistin in the prostate cancer development and progression was examined. Immunohistochemical expression and serum levels of these adipocytokines were evaluated in both groups of patients with benign prostate hyperplasia and prostate cancer of pathological grade pT2 and pT3, respectively. Moreover, selected metabolic, biochemical and anthropometric parameters were included into this study. Serum adiponectin levels did not differ between prostate benign hyperplasia and prostate cancer generally, but they were significantly higher in pT3 in comparison to pT2 group. In agreement with the results of serum levels, tissue immunohistochemistry showed enhanced staining intensity of adiponectin in neoplastic glands and to a lesser degree in prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia while within benign prostate hyperplasia the immunohistochemical staining was generally low. None relation of adiponectin expression to disease grade or stage was observed. In resistin no difference between benign hyperplasia and prostate cancer in respect to serum levels...

Glacial modelation of cirques and stratigraphy of moraines in the High Tatras
Mida, Peter ; Křížek, Marek (advisor) ; Kalvoda, Jan (referee)
The submitted diploma thesis is concerned with the geomorphological analysis of specific landforms in the High Tatras which are the result of its Quaternary mountain glaciation. The traces of the last three glacials (Mindel, Riss and Würm) are well documented in the studied area. The presence of the Early Pleistocene glaciations (Biber, Donau, Günz) is more difficult to prove. The aim of this thesis is 1) to define the rate of glacial shaping of glacial erosional landforms - cirques; 2) to determine the number of glacials or stadial oscillations of glaciers on the basis of relative dating of moraines during the Last Glaciation. A total number of 122 cirques were analysed. Cirques were classified as follows: simple cirque, termination cirque, stepped cirque and highest cirque. Morphometric characteristics that were implemented are consistent with other studies (e. g. Federici & Spagnollo, 2004, García-Ruiz et al., 2000). A degree of glacial overdeepening of a cirque was quantified by use of k coefficient which is derived from k-curve (sensu Haynes, 1968). Value of k coefficient depends on profile location and cirque headwall foot location. Range of values of k coefficient for the cirques in High Tatras is between 0,503 and 1,951. Based on morphometric analysis the northern mountainside cirques are...

Ecological study of epixylic species \kur{Lophozia ascendens} and \kur{Anastrophyllum hellerianum (Lophoziaceae)}
HOLÁ, Eva
Seasonal pattern and extent of asexual reproduction in liverwort species Lophozia ascendens, L. ventricosa and L. longiflora were studied in the Boubínský prales and Milešický prales old-growth forest reserves in the Šumava Mts., South Bohemia. Asexual reproduction was quantified as the number of 1{--}2 -celled gemmae produced per individual shoot. Numbers of gemmae per shoot among sampling months differed significantly as did the numbers of gemmae in samples among Lophozia ascendens, L. ventricosa and L. longiflora among sampling months. Germinability of gemmae was low in early spring, highest in August and September and slightly decreased in October. Spreading potential of gemmae was investigated in the epixylic hepatic Anastrophyllum hellerianum. Gemmae were trapped at different distances (0 {--} 10 m) and directions from the source colonies in two experiments: one was realized in the natural habitat within a forest and the other in an artificial set-up in the open habitat. Dispersal of gemmae showed slight distance dependence both in the natural and open habitats. Habitat requirements (e. g. decay degree, texture, bark cover, log diameter) of the L. ascendens and A. hellerianum were investigated in both reserves, 126 logs were found. Mostly tiny liverworts grew with L. ascendens and A. hellerianum. Both studied species occurred on logs with degree of decay 2 {--} 7 and degree of texture 2 {--} 6.
