Escalation of the Vietnam war 1963-1965
Adámek, Václav ; Tumis, Stanislav (referee) ; Nálevka, Vladimír (advisor)
Některé války slavně začínají, jiné slavně končí. Válka ve Vietnamu začala nepozorovaně a když po třiceti letech končila, nejednalo se o slavný konec. Za tu dobu tří desítek let se v džungli poloostrova Zadní Indie vystřídali armády dvou západních mocností, Francie a USA. Vojáci a vlády ani jednoho z výše zmíněných států nedokázali najít účinný recept na vedení boje v džungli proti houževnatým partyzánům. Francii se nepovedlo navázat na své koloniální doby a během několika let se její veškerý kredit utopil ve vleklých bojích s hnutím Viet Minh, které demonstrovalo svoje vítězství ve vyčerpávající bitvě u Dien Bien Phu. Tím skončila francouzská část války. Bohužel pro Vietnam, nyní rozdělený na dvě části, vedený odlišnými idejemi a opět čekající na sjednocení, hrůzy války neskončily. Podporu Jižního Vietnamu převzaly pod svá křídla Spojené státy, které se zapřísáhly, že v nově ustanoveném světovém pořádku nenechají padnout žádný stát do komunistického područí. Tak tedy začala do Saigonu proudit stále větší vojenská pomoc. Zpočátku Vietnam nepředstavoval větší problém, vše se však začalo měnit, když snažení nepřinášelo žádné plody. Na počátku šedesátých let se Amerika angažovala v Indočíně již patnáct let. Onu finanční a materiálovou pomoc vystřídali vojenští specialisté, letadla a tajné jednotky. Nic z toho...

Nursing care about a patient under the influence of alcohol
TOMAŠÁKOVÁ, Zuzana
Abstract- Nursing Care for a Patient under the Influence of Alcohol This bachelor's thesis deals with the topic of nursing care for patients who are under the influence of alcohol. "Alcohol is the most spread and widely used psychoactive drug that is greatly accepted within our socio-cultural environment" (Fišer S., J. Škoda, 2009, p. 99). Today's hurried times influence greatly both the psychological and economic aspects of our lives. Therefore, there are many people who, when suffering from a stressful situation, decide to reach after alcohol as a crutch that should mitigate all negative impacts of today's times. But only a handful of them realize that alcohol does not solve any of these problems but rather worsens the situation, whether in the family or in the job. Alcohol causes serious health problems to manypeople and consequently they are forced to seek help in health-care facilities. In a worstcase scenario, it can happen that they end up on the streets and become homeless.Frequently, especially during winter, they have to be taken to a hospital. After the examination they are either hospitalized or, if not seriously injured, referred to a sobering-up centre. Of course, this situation also concerns other people who are under the influence of alcohol, not only the homeless. The nursing care of these patients has to face many problems, whether in terms of communication or aggressiveness. In the theoretical part of the thesis we discussed the terms alcohol, its history, its influence on our organism, the problematic of alcohol drinking among young people, blood and breath alcohol testing, origins and development of the alcohol addiction and its consequences. Moreover, we have examined the impact of alcohol on an individual's social environment, communication, aggression, the patient - nurse relationship, professional deformation and burn-out syndrome. Two objectives were created to comply with the plan. Objective No.1: To describe the approach of nurses to patients who are under the influence of alcohol. Objective No.2: To find out what issues have to face the nurses who take care of patients under the influence of alcohol. Consequently, two research questions were framed. Research question No.1: What are the specifics of the nursing care of a patient affected by alcohol. Research question No.2: What is the approach of nurses to patients who are under the influence of alcohol. The practical part of this thesis contains the results of a qualitative research that is based on an in-depth semi-structured interview conducted with nurses from the hospital Nemocnice České Budějovice a.s. We have approached twelve nurses to take part in this research; the only condition was their work in a ward where they frequently meet with patients under the influence of alcohol. Therefore, we have cooperated with nurses working in emergency department, in intensive care unit and in internal intensive unit. Subsequently, based on the open coding method, every nurse was assigned with a number (from one to twelve). The lines in the thesis mentioning the nurses' answers were numbered in order to refer to them. Using the method of "paper and pencil" important information was highlighted in the text and subsequently, the "showdown" technique was used to divide the gained data into five categories that were then divided into subcategories. The research investigation has provided answers to both research questions. The interviewed nurses stated that the main problems concerning the work with patients under the influence of alcohol are communication, as they have to communicate with these patients very carefully, calmly, to inform them in most cases only about the most important steps, and aggression which is a very common consequence of drunkenness. The cooperation with the police also becomes an integral part of the nursing care of patients under the influence of alcohol, because the saf.

"Gâtée par le monde." Princess Alexandra of Dietrichstein's literary oeuvre
MUSILOVÁ, Martina
The thesis deals with a handwritten literary oeuvre by Francophone noblewoman Alexandra of Dietrichstein, born Shuvalov, which represents, by its extent, the unique case for the Bohemian lands. In what follows we interpret Princess Alexandra of Dietrichstein's political, religious, social and her literary opinions as well as her conception of sentiment and love on the basis of nine literary texts. Each of them represents a different genre there are short stories, novellas, novels and an educational treatise. Furthermore, her work originated within Francophone aristocratic culture in the Romantic period. Primarily, we focus on the development of the Francophone culture in Russia. Thanks to methods of cultural history and literary analysis of aesthetic norms we were able to demonstrate how her literary work developed over time in terms of ethics and aesthetics and point at the influence of the political and cultural changes in the period called in the Bohemian lands "in between times".

Antropogenní vliv na biodiverzitu v komplexu Páramos de Santurban (Kolumbie)
Aparicio Vásquez, Diana Libeth ; Sklenář, Petr (advisor) ; Kovář, Pavel (referee)
Paramo is the name of the region encountered in the upper belt (3 000m - 4 800m) of the Andean mountain ridges from Venezuela to the North of Peru. Paramo ecosystem occupies only 2% of the area of those countries. Nevertheless, paramo flora is the richest high mountain flora of the world (over 3500 species, 60% of endemism). High mountain region of the Northern Andes were almost uninhabited until the arrival of the Conquistadores. At the time of the conquest, livestock and new crops were introduced to the Andean ecosystems. Since that time, paramo has been used mainly for extensive cattle grazing and cultivation of potatoes and onions. During the last three centuries an abrupt intensification of the agricultural practices has occurred. The main aim of this study is to investigate the effects of human intervention, by mean of farming, on species diversity of the paramo vegetation. The study area was selected in the paramo belt of Santurban, Colombian Eastern Cordillera. Ordination techniques were applied to analyze the relation between plant species composition, environmental variables and management variables. We found plant species diversity is influenced by cattle grazing and cropping, but the vegetation changes are mainly determined by the altitudinal gradient. Intensity of human impact is also...

Noble Interest. Women in Czech Archaeology in 19th and at the Beginning of 20th Century
SKLENÁŘOVÁ, Eva
This paper concentrates on the role of women in science, specifically in archaeology of past centuries. The women{\crq}s access to education and scientific career had been restricted by then notion of woman{\crq}s proper standing in society {--} educated and independently intellectually active woman didn{\crq}t fit in the required role of the custodian of family hearth, of spouse and mother. So the women interested in science had to overcome various prejudices and obstacles. The introduction of this work briefly informs about traditional women{\crq}s standing in the society and about possibilities of their education in the setting of high schools and universities in the flow of centuries. It presents also a short insight into the history of archaeology as a discipline to show in which stage it was in the time these women worked in it. This paper finds in these women pre-archaeologists three kinds of leading motivations. The first, most typical model, were women influenced by their husbands. Women of the archaeologists often participated on their work either from marital solidarity or of one{\crq}s own interest that survived the spouse{\crq}s death. The second biggest group was formed by the daughters of archaeologists that grew up amongst prehistoric relics and, as kids, attended archaeological research with their fathers. In this group we also find either a short time fascination or lifelong influence. The third group is formed by the women from non-archaeologist families. Some of them familiarized with prehistoric relics through their commercial interests, others, and this group was bigger, displayed purely personal passion for this science. This latter group made friends with important archaeologists of their time and engaged in this trade under their leadership. The last part of the work is formed by the succinct reference on educated professional women archaeologists who followed this pioneers on the area of interest {--} though in fact they don{\crq}t fit into epoch and topic investigated.
