Nursing care of geriatric patient
MUŠKOVÁ, Simona
Current status Old age is late phase of the ontogenetic proces, which completes the human life and carries with itself a lot of changes. These changes are inevitable for each of us (Čevela, Kalvach, Čeledová, 2012). When we speak of geriatric patient, we mean a patient older than 75 years. This is the classification of World Health Organisation (WHO). Aging leads to loss of physical and mental strength and to somatic changes some of which are highly visible at first sight (Haškovcová, 2010). General nurse with knowledge about the issues of geriatric patients can get them the optimal nursing care to be able to support their bodily functions and maintain functional fitness. Evaluating the abilities of geriatric patient, then enables general nurse to set reasonable care and then perform preventive and therapeutic interventions (Pokorná, 2013). Aim of the study The aim was to map the issue of nursing care for geriatric patients in acute beds and beds for long-term care from the perspective of nurses and also from the perspective of patients. Four research questions (RQ) were then assembled for these goals. RQ 1: How nurses perceive the problems of nursing care for geriatric patients in acute beds? RQ 2: How nurses perceive problems of nursing care for geriatric patients on long-term care beds? RQ 3: How geriatric patients perceive nursing care received from nurses in acute beds? RQ 4: How geriatric patients perceive nursing care received from nurses on long-term care beds? Methods For the empirical part of the bachelor thesis was used qualitative research. For the purpose of the data collection were used interviews, which consisted of pre-built key questions and according to willingness of the individual respondents to share their opinions were inserted additional questions. The survey consisted a total of 20 respondents, of which 10 respondents were from the Department of aftercare and 10 respondents from the orthopedic department. Of these ten respondents were 5 nurses and 5 patients in each ward. The research was carried out in the hospital bed area of the department of aftercare and orthopedic department. The interviews were transcribed verbatim and then categories were created to methodology, which showed what troubled the patients during hospitalization the most, and what nurses see as the biggest challenge when working with geriatric patients. The results By the nurses from the department of aftercare, patient immobility, lack of cooperation with disoriented patients, problems with emptying, usually constipation, change in the environment as a factor disturbing the sleep of the patient, not keeping the drinking regime, despite the patient claiming otherwise and not least the patient's hearing loss that nuisance communication between staff and patient and finally the patient's hearing loss that nuisance communication between staff and patient are seen as the biggest problems. Nurses from the orthopedic department see the biggest problem in the movement impairment of the patients, the pain that patients experience after surgery and the stress that accompanies the patient before surgery. Furthermore, problems with emptying, difficulty sleeping, patient's non-compliance and hearing loss. All interviewed patients complained the most about the lack of privacy during hospitalization, especially during their personal hygiene, about the fellow patients who disturb their sleep, as well as the lack of communication on the part of nurses. Furthermore, patients from the department of aftercare most complained about lack of information told to them when received at the department. Patients from the orthopedic department were complaining about the way in which personal hygiene is performed.

Microclimatic characteristics of natural and synanthropic roosts of dendrophilous and crevice-dwelling bats.
Nodžáková, Kateřina ; Vybíral, Stanislav (advisor) ; Benda, Petr (referee)
This study has tested microclimatic characteristics of natural and synanthropic roosts in the Trebonsko Biosphere Reserve - an important area in South Bohemia. Using a data logger, we measured the temperature in cavities used and unused by bats and compared them with temperature in artificial roost - window shutter and limekiln. Our results provide direct evidence that limekiln and cavities are occupied by different species of bats in comparison with window shutter and we contend that selecting microclimatic conditions of roosts are species-specific. Using limekiln may be more advantageous to bats than tree cavities, especially during pregnancy and lactation, since it provides suitable microclimate for roosting. This may be one of the factors associated with aggregation of maternity colonies during gestation period. Further we measured metabolic rate (oxygen consumption) in various temperatures of surroundings. Following species were taken into experiments: Eptesicus serotinus and Nyctalus noctula. The temperature interval was 26 - 43 řC. Our results confirmed different demands on microclimatic conditions in both species. We hypothesize that high roost temperatures within the thermal neutral zone enables bats to maintain body temperature passively thereby minimize energetic costs.

Interval Estimate of Binomial Parameter p: What is (Relatively) New?
Klaschka, Jan
The present work follows up the ROBUST 2006 paper where various types of confidence intervals for binomial parameter p have been exposed. The coverage probability cannot equal the nominal confidence level 1-alpha in the whole domain [0, 1]. This leads to dilemmas (is the coverage of at least 1-alpha a must, or is it better to approximate 1-alpha from both sides?), and to multiplicity of proposals of confidence interval types. The present work extends the scope of the previous paper by such generalizations of "ordinary" confidence intervals that enable a constant coverage, namely by the randomized confidence intervals (introduced several decades ago), and by the relatively new idea of the fuzzy confidence intervals.

Interactive Instructional Models of Water Management Structures for Hydro-technical Laboratory of the High School of Civil Engineering in Vysoké Mýto
Požárová, Miroslava ; Kříž,, Lubomír (referee) ; Žoužela, Michal (advisor)
In 2014 a new Hydro-technical laboratory was built at the High School of Civil Engineering in Vysoké Mýto. The laboratory’s hydraulic circuit is equipped with a reserve line enabling independent standing models of hydro-technical structures to be connected. Two interactive instructional models are designed for this laboratory. The first is a model of a concrete dam. The dam is equipped with one bottom outlet, a hydraulic power plant and an emergency spillway crest gate. The discharge part of the model is equipped with a downflow baffle for regulating the tailwater level and a measuring weir enabling the flow rate to be measured at the discharge point from the model. The total capacity of the model is 10 l/s. The second model is a model of a weir structure. The weir structure consists of a controlled segment sluice gate weir composed of three sections. The model includes a one-nave lock chamber and hydraulic power plant. The tailwater level can also be regulated using a downflow baffle. The total capacity of this model is 20 l/s. The models can be used for teaching the subjects of hydraulics, hydrology and hydro-technical structures. They can be used to demonstrate various hydraulic phenomena and to describe individual functional objects using specialist terminology. This thesis contains the full project documentation for both proposed models, including hydro-technical calculations and text appendices.

Evaluation of damaged components for photovoltaic power plant monitoring
Rataj, Pavel ; Jančík, Stanislav (referee) ; Marada, Tomáš (advisor)
The thesis deals with proposal and implementation of a test station for feasible measurement of Hall´s probes, which are used for measurement of extensive direct currents, especially in FVE. The customers are often complaining about Hall´s probes. The solution is specific model of probe, which would be enabling to accelerate measuring of given back probes from working order and evaluation for proper functions of probes. For the final asses we need to compare given back probe with so-called Hall probe. The so-called Hall´s probe will be permanently placed on model and will indicate relatively identical data. PLC made by DOMAT company will compare and evaluate data, whether a difference measured from both probed is acceptable or not.

Summer camps and their specificity for children with visual impairment
JANOUŠKOVÁ, Martina
This bachelor thesis discusses summer camps and their specifics for children with visual impairment. The aim of this thesis is to provide a comparison between special summer camps and summer camps that enable integration in a ralationship to children with visual impairment. To achieve this goal, I collected the advantages and disadvantages and the specifics that follows from them. This issues is discussed from the position of the organizers, the heads of the summer camps and also from the position of children with visual impairment that took part in researched summer camps, alternatively from the position of their parents. Besides this I also mentioned the view of intact children taking part in a summer camp that enables integration. To accomplish the aim of this thesis, I used a qualitative type of research. The data was discovered by the method of personal asking: the technique of an interview with open questions. To evaluate the interviews I used the induction method: Firstly, I went in the field to acquire the information. Than I compared the information with other ones that I obtained from other people. The results of this thesis serve as a summary of things that are specific for a given type of summer camp and also of things that are important to take into consideration during selecting a suitable summer either selected by parents and their children or by the organizers. This thesis describes many of concrete imperfections that can occur during the summer camps but it also describes many of the advantages that provide summer camps for children with visual impairment with their parents but it deals with this problem under the terms of a summer camp that provides the integration also with intact children or leaders. Concerning the summer camps for children with visual impairment, the research comes with a statement that firstly, it is necessary to focus on a selection of suitable area where will the summer camp take place and it is also necessary to focus on communication between the leader and the parents in order to mutually gain enough information requiered for intergration under the condition of cooperation between parents and camp leaders with each other. I tis also important to ensure a qualite assistant that will be able to good and meaningfully fill the time of a child with visual impairmentin in case of him/her not being able to participate in some of the summer camp's programme. The same situation arrives in the case of special summer camp: it needs specific preparation considering the selection of suitable area and schedule-making. Thanks to the fact that the organizers of this type of summer camps are usually some organizations engaging in this issue, this type of summer camps do not need a personal assistant necessarily. Parents feel safe because their child is provided with quality professional care and children have an opportunity to come in contact with children of the same age that have the same or similar problems. Another big advantage of special summer camps is an rehearsal or improvement of abilities that make the life of a person with visual impairment much easier. Chapter five, the discussion, compares particular areas of the research that involve: the preparation of a summer camp, the awareness of the members from the team, integration of the child into the group, the schedule of the summer camp and natural environment of the camp, assistance, communication and the fear of the participants of some new experience. The end of chapter six, the conclusion, discusses some considerations about improvement of present situation in the field of summer capms for children with visual impairment.

Modelování přírodních katastrof
Zuzák, Jaroslav ; Zimmermann, Pavel (advisor) ; Masec, Frant (referee)
This thesis introduces various approaches to natural catastrophe risk assessment in (re)insurance environment. Most emphasis and further elaboration is put on probabilistic models in comparison to the standard model as proposed by Solvency II. The outcomes of natural catastrophe modeling play an important role in the design of proper actuarial models related to catastrophe risk. More specifically it is shown that they can be entirely understood in a wider actuarial context, namely risk theory. Within the Solvency II framework, probabilistic model outcomes are translated by means of the proposed decomposition methodology putting them into a similar language of the standard formula in order to create the ability to compare different results implied by either probabilistic model or standard formula. This enables both comparison of the implied dependence structure of probabilistic model to standardized correlations assumed in Solvency II, and scenario year loss factors of Solvency II to implied damage factors of probabilistic models in defined cresta zones. The introduced decomposition methodology is illustrated by flood and windstorm model outcomes calculated on exposure data of Czech insurance companies and compared to the respective standard formula parameters and outcomes. Finally, other applications of the proposed decomposition methodology are introduced, such as measurement of diversification effect or blending of different results calculated by different models or even approaches to natural catastrophe risk assessment.

Comparing the conceptions of CSR in ABB Group and ABB CR company
Musilová, Lenka ; Lhotáková, Markéta (advisor) ; Boušková, Magdaléna (referee)
This thesis deals with CSR conceptions of ABB Group and ABB ČR, compraing both conceptions. Its aim is to prove these two hypotheses: "ABB ČR applies glocal attitude to CSR" and "In ABB ČR, creating CSV is not an element of its CSR conception, whereas within ABB Group, CSV is already being implemented." In order to prove these hypotheses, this thesis presents the theory of CSR and CSV to its reader. As for the CSV, this thesis offers a relatively broad theoretical framework, supplemented by up to date critique of the conception and my personal evaluation of the relation of CSR with CSV. In the practical part of the thesis, particular instruments of both (ABB Group and ABB ČR) CSR conceptions are analysed with the aim to prove both aforementioned hypotheses. After a comparison of both instruments, the first hypothesis is confirmed. In order to verify the second hypothesis the method of synthesis is employed to establish a strcture of CSV and to enable a final comparison, which, however, disproves the second hypothesis.
