Word-formation analysis of Bohemian minor place-names
Štěpán, Pavel ; Harvalík, Milan (advisor) ; Krško, Jaromír (referee) ; Komárek, Karel (referee)
minor place-names from the territory of Bohemia. The parts devoted to the analysis of substantival and adjectival lexical units are divided into three sections dealing with suffixation, prefixal-sufixal forrnation and compounding. It has been necessary to approach the analysis of lexical the units forrned by suffixation selectively. The classification oflexical units formed by a certain mode become (in a majority of chapters) a starting point for the analysis of motivation of the individual minor place-names. The forrnation using the chosen word-forrnative devices is analysed on the background of the forrnation in the common-noun sphere of the language. One of the main aims of the thesis is to grasp the wordforrnative specificities in which the material of minor place-names differs from the common-noun sphere of the language. The analysis confirrns that so-called parasystemic means of word forrnation are typical of minor place names (as well as the whole proper-name sphere of the language). These means (mainly suffixes) are either not present in the commonnoun sphere (e.g. -čice, -ec1, or their typical function is different in common nouns (-ství, -inka). ln certain instances, the word-forrnation analysis conducted in this work may influence the interpretation of individual place names. This is due to the...

Taking care of family members of a dying client in a home for the eldelrly.
ZIMOVÁ, Eva
People usually die in hospitals, at subsequent care departments and in retirement homes nowadays. Ill people die alone outside the comfort of their homes and in the care of professionals, who are strangers for them. Dying has become an institutionalized process. Dying is first of all a process that consists of three known periods of different length, which are linked together the pre finem, in finem and post finem periods. They are described in chapter 2. Chapter 3 describes the mental response stages according to Elisabeth Kübler-Ross in the usual order as the mostly occur. The fourth chapter mentions the needs of the dying and the role of a nurse in their satisfaction. Communication with family members is probably the most demanding activity for a nurse. Communication and its principles is dealt with by the fifth chapter. The sixth chapter describes the phases of grief according to Kubíčková (2001), but also the uncomplicated and complicated grief. The assistance to the family is described in the seventh chapter. A subchapter is also dedicated to counselling for the bereaved.The load on nurses in relation to dying is mentioned at the end of chapter eight. The last, ninth chapter describes a retirement home and the services it provides. The first goal was to examine the readiness of healthcare staff to communicate with the family members of dying clients. The second goal was to find the spheres in which the family members of a dying client need advice. The third goal was to examine the services provided to the family members of a dying client by a retirement home. The research questions:How are general nurses able to cope with communication with the family of a dying patient?What topics do general nurses avoid in communication with the family of a dying patient?What advice are general nurses able to give to the bereaved?What possibilities do retirement homes have to ensure dying with dignity?What services do retirement homes provide?Qualitative research in the form of semi structured interviews was chosen for elaboration of the empiric part of the thesis. The interviews were based on prepared questions and sub questions for general nurses from two retirement homes. One of them is in the South Bohemia Region and the other in the Central Bohemia Region. The sample consisted of eight general nurses. The interviews were recorded in written and then processed into individual categories. The names of the facilities are not mentioned to ensure anonymity. The thesis gives an insight into two addressed retirement homes in different regions. The research has brought the view on the care of family members and valuable comparison of the provided services and the possibilities of the homes. Communication with the family is in some situations unpleasant and stressing for a nurse, however it is frequent and inevitable. The research shows that informing of worsened state and client's death is most unpleasant and stressing. General nurses should be better aware of the phases of dying according to Elisabeth Kübler-Ross and they should realize that the family members go through the same phases. We have also found that if family members are not offered assistance and support, they usually do not ask for it. Both the homes are trying to create the environment for dying with dignity according to their possibilities. They offer unlimited visits, spiritual services and also the possibility of the last goodbye, however it is not offered automatically. The choice of funeral service is on the other hand always offered at the death notification.There are differences between the two homes in the environment where the care of the death body is taken, where the last goodbye is held and the inheritance passed. One home has the possibility to care about the deceased in a dedicated room, where also the last goodbye and inheritance passing is held. The other home does not have this possibility.

Rescue work in hazardous environment, protection options
KŘIKAVOVÁ, Petra
This thesis deals with the hazardous aspect of the profession of paramedics and the aim is to emphasize the need to increase their protection. The work is devided into theoretical and research part. The theoretical part describes the work at a medical rescue service. The basic emergency measures, personal protective equipment and the most common hazards are named here. Everything is supported with legislation. The research was carried out in the form of semi-structured interviews with eight respondents, four men and four women, paramedics from South Bohemia and Liberec region. The basic objectives were to determine what risks are the paramedics mostly threatened by and what are the options for their best protection. The most frequently reported risks were infection, attacks and a car accident. The best protection to reduce the risk of infection is the use of protective equipment, vaccination and compliance with safety procedures. Self-defence and better cooperation with the police were cited as the measures to reduce the risk of attacks. The risk of a car accident can be reduced by better adaptation of drivers, a skid training and driving in a difficult terrain training. The results of the interviews in the two regions were not significantly different. If we compare the responses of men and women, the answers were also almost the same.

Public opinion on extremist political parties
Veselský, Michal
In September 2009 CVVM investigated on the issue of extremism in politics. Respondents should name up to two political parties which are according to their opinion supposed to be extremist. Majority named ultra-right wing parties and subjects as an extremist ones and only 10 % of respondents mentioned left wing Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia (KSCM). So the percentage of respondents who mentioned KSCM dropped radically from 25 % in March 1999 to current 10 %. This result is influenced not only by better image of KSCM in the eyes of public but also by raising activities of ultra-right wing subjects in Czech Republic.

Awareness of the South Bohemia Region primary school teachers about autism and autism spectrum disorders
VOSTROVSKÁ, Marika
This thesis deals with awareness of teachers in mainstream elementary schools in the South Bohemian Region about autism and autistic spectrum disorders. The thesis is divided into four basic chapters followed by discussion and conclusion. The first chapter of the thesis focuses on theoretical background of autism and autistic spectrum disorders. The second chapter deals with the topic of autism and ASD in the school environment, including possibility of intervention. Chapter 3 and 4 include methodological part of the thesis. Chapter 3 focuses on quantitative research of awareness of teachers on this issue, as well as their needs and experience. South Bohemian teachers demonstrated their knowledge, attitudes and experience regarding autism and ASD in a short questionnaire and a knowledge quiz. Chapter 4 applies a qualitative method and provides an analysis of the interview, which was carried out with two teachers who work with students with autism or ASD in mainstream primary school. The base of the quantitative research was a questionnaire for teachers, which main purpose was to measure awareness and basic orientation in the problem of autism. Knowledge quiz focused on detailed investigation of knowledge base of autism and ASD among teachers concerned. This thesis established five main hypotheses with subhypotheses that have been tested in several respects, especially length of teaching experience, specific training of respondents, school size and previous experience with autistic students. Extensive testing has supported six sub-hypothesis, which show that the awareness is influenced by place (namely school size) and that previous experience strongly supports a positive attitude towards the integration. In the same way, experience with students with autism showed a higher interest on additional training in these issues. The qualitative part of the thesis analyses the interview with two particular teachers who work every day with students with autism and autism spectrum disorders. The thesis explores their particular experience with autistic pupils, their knowledge and education, but also the problems and needs these teachers have in communication with pupils.

Minor place-names with the suffix -yně
Štěpán, Pavel
The paper commemorates the work of Jaromír Spal dealing with the suffix -yně in settlement names. The author of the present article analyses the use of this suffix in non-settlement names from the territory of Bohemia and confirms the conclusion of Spal’s that the original function of the suffix -yně was not possessive (in connection with anthroponyms), as the general opinion used to be, but this suffix was primarily used for the formation of non-settlement names from common-noun bases. The aim of the article is to point out the fact that the analysis of non-settlement names can often contribute to the interpretation of settlement names, which can be often modified and replacad by a more probable solution. The starting point for the analysis is formed by Spal’s interpretation of selected place names ending in -yně; parallels of these names among non-settlement names are found and commented on. Also some other non-settlement names derived from both noun and adjective bases are studied. The major conclusion (corresponding to Spal’s findings) is that the suffix -yně was not primarily used for the creation of deanthroponymic possessive names; this use was only analogical (this analogy was based on the contamination with the suffix -ina) and rather limited.
