Surrounding People´s Reaction to a Couple Dealing with the Problem of Involuntary Childlessness
HEŘMANOVÁ, Bohuslava
Infertility is described as a condition in which a couple for at least one year, despite regular unprotected sexual intercourse, fails to become pregnant. It currently affects about 15% of couples. Acceptance of the diagnosis and subsequent treatment is a huge strain both in physical and mental aspects. People dealing with the problem of involuntary childlessness are usually very sensitive to the response of surrounding people. In the theoretical section infertility is defined as a disease, its causes are mentioned and possible solutions discussed. Assisted reproduction and substitute family care are described. Exercises using the method of L. Moses, spa treatment, alternative treatment options, and childlessness are also included. Communication of an infertile couple with surrounding people is described. The psychosocial impact of involuntary childlessness is also mentioned. The objective of the thesis was to survey surrounding people´s reactions on an infertile couple´s diagnosis and subsequent therapy. Another objective was to determine whether these couples feel the need to notify other people of their diagnosis and of the course of treatment, and what reaction they expect. A qualitative research strategy was chosen. The data collection was carried out using semi-structured interviews with couples who in their past had to deal with the problem of a not fulfilling parenthood. Eight couples and one woman participated in the research survey. The obtained data were evaluated by the qualitative content analysis. It has been found that an infertile couple feels surrounding people´s interest in the assisted reproduction treatment, its possibilities and progress, but also in its financial cost. Adoption is regarded as heroism, charity or foolishness from the perspective of the public. The research has shown that women in infertile couples have a greater need than men to share the infertility diagnosis and possible solutions with their close people. They also expect their close people´s assistance in the form of support, understanding and the possibility to share their experience as for the effort to get a child. These findings have answered the research questions and both the stated objectives were met. This bachelor thesis could be used by midwifery students, midwives and infertile couples as a source of information on the difficulties in communication between an involuntarily childless couple and surrounding people.

Political Sustainability of Pension System
Zeisel, Viktor ; Gregor, Martin (advisor) ; Turnovec, František (referee)
The master thesis evaluates in theoretical models political sustainability of public pensions system when the households are time inconsistent. It uses overlapping generations model with two working generations and one retired. It shows that myopia (shortsightedness) increases the political support for public pension schemes in the model where median voter decides about the obligatory contribution rate into the public pension system. The reason is that the households use the obligatory contribution rate as a commitment device to overcome their time inconsistency. In the model with endogenous returns to capital, the presence of myopia also explains that households may prefer a mix of public and private pension system. The thesis also shows that expansion of the public pension system crowds out capital accumulation. The effect of myopia on this crowding out effect is tested in an interest group model and it is shown that its sign depends on the parameters of the economy. The extent of activity of the interest group is thus dependent on the parameters of the economy.

Political satire in printed media in election year 2006 and 2010
Štefková, Jaroslava ; Křeček, Jan (advisor) ; Šoltys, Otakar (referee)
This Thesis are dealing with analysis of political satire change during election periods in 2006 and 2010 in printed media (Právo, Lidové noviny and MF DNES). 1796 items were evaluated. In these media three artist in both years were publishing: in MF DNES it is Miroslav Kemel, in Lidové noviny Vladimír Jiránek and in Právo Vladimír Renčín. For political satire research content analysis was used, combining quantitative and qualitative methods. Defined variables are used for grouping images. The research should accept/reject five hypothesis directed to topic frequencies (domestic, foreign, non-political), politicans shown as the target of satire and political tending of particular paper. The most popular target for political satire was Jiří Paroubek former leader of ČSSD due to his nature and physiognomy. This was true for MF Dnes and Lidové noviny. In Právo no concrete politican was drawn by V. Renčín in both years. In the first place topic Election was in 2006 in all papers, in 2010 only for MF Dnes it was Nr 1. In other paper most important topics were morality and demenaurs of politicans. This Thesis confirmed that left-winged paper Právo is not tending to the righ-wing ridiculing. On the contrary, the other newspapers, Lidové noviny and MF Dnes, both being right-wing newspapers, published the...

Structure and dynamics of shell sources in general relativity
Turnovec, Aleš ; Žofka, Martin (advisor) ; Langer, Jiří (referee)
Cylindrically symmetric shell sources are studied and a general form of induced energy-momentum tensor of a collapsing shell is presented. The actual movement of the shell is numerically solved for a case when dynamics of the system is determined by energy conservation per unit length. It is then shown that additional assumptions can prevent the collapse, e. g. induced energy-momentum tensor as perfect fluid or null dust of counter-rotating particles. Collapse can be prevented also by introducing Thorne's C-energy into the system.

Tragedy of the Commons
Pospíšilová, Andrea ; Schwarz, Jiří (referee) ; Gregor, Martin (advisor)
This thesis focuses on the situation known as the Tragedy of the Commons, in which conicting individual and group interests result in overappropriation of a common- pool resource. It examines the setting focusing on theoretical models, combining the approaches of game theory and maximization. It analyzes the e_ects of dif- ferent aspects of the situation, such as game structure, game payoffs, repetitions and individual and group characteristics, first in the setting where no interactions among players are possible, and then in the situation in which players are allowed to communicate and decide on some kind of management of the resource. In accord with many recent studies, this thesis shows that state management of a resource is not the only solution to the dilemma. Moreover, when interactions among players are allowed, users may be able to design their own rules, thus avoiding the `tragic' outcome. Communication and the ability to design sanctioning mechanism is shown to have a major impact on the success of these self-management rules.

The influence of aerobic training and respiratory physiotherapy upon pulmonary functions of the patiens with cystic fibrosis
Lagatorová, Sendi ; Majerová, Markéta (referee) ; Lekeš, Marek (advisor)
The theoretical part of the dissertation covers the theoretical information about Cystic Fibrosis and an overview of anatomy and physiology of respiratory mechanism. Since the dissertation is rather aimed at the practical work, it further describes exercise physiology and the techniques of respiratory physiotherapy. The purpose of the dissertation is to find out the effect of a specific training scheme upon respiratory functions in selected individuals with Cystic Fibrosis, who are diagnosed with different levels of obstructive ventilatory defect. The training scheme includes an aerobic exercise on bicycle ergometers in combination with respiratory physiotherapy. The spirometry test results have shown that the respiratory functions in all pacients have improved.

A study of the properties of tablets made of directly compressible isomalt.
Pavlasová, Veronika ; Šnejdrová, Eva (referee) ; Mužíková, Jitka (advisor)
A study of the properties of tablets made of directly compressible isomalt. Summary The thesis deals with the study of properties of tablets from two types of directly compressible isomalt - namely galenIQTM 720 and galenIQTM 721. The focus of the study was given to the dependence of tensile strenght and disintegration time of the tablets, both on the compression force, the addition of lubricants, namely magnesium stearate and sodium stearyl fumarate (Pruv) with concentrations 0,5% and 1%, and a 50% addition of model active intgredients, namely ascorbic acid and acetylsalicylic acid. The compression forces were used 6, 8 and 10 kN, tablets containing drugs were compressed only with a force of 10 kN. The tensile streght of tablets from both substances increased with increasing compression force, the presence of lubricants did not result any decrease in the strenght. The disintegration time of tablets was longer with substance galenIQTM 720, it was prolonged by lubricants and increased with increasing compression force for both substances. The presence of drugs decreased the tensile strenght, tablets containing acetylsalicylic acid shown higher tensile strenght. For both drugs was not significant difference in the context of the type of isomalt or lubricants. The disintegration time of tablets was shorter...
