Symbolism in The Catcher in the Rye by J.D Salinger
ŠOJDELOVÁ, Jana
In J. D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye, the most significant overarching theme of the novel is the adolescent struggle of the main character, Holden no longer wants to be a child, but also does not yet know how to be an adult, which results in his breakdown. This difficult situation that virtually all humans face is masterfully investigated by the Salinger's careful use of symbolic references throughout the novel. A thorough understanding of these symbols and how they operate in the novel is essential to fully comprehend and learn from Holden's journey within the story. To that end, the aim of this Bachelor's Thesis is to delineate how the most important symbols in the novel creates meaning in the story. Symbols and symbolic elements require detailed examination in relation to the central metaphor and within the context and meaning of the whole novel, since most of them occur repeatedly. It is also necessary to consider how other critics have regarded these symbols and the associated meanings and messages inherent in the novel.

The use of self-care deficit theory client CMP
PAULÍKOVÁ, Martina
Theory Stroke, a cerebrovascular disease, causes severe disability and failure of self-sufficiency for nearly of half of the patients. Nursing focuses on respecting the individuality of each patient, supports the return and consolidation of a good health, promotes self-sufficiency and searches for the needs of the patient. Conceptual model of D. E. Orem assumes the ability of each human to take care of self. Although partially, or not capable of self-care at all, it is necessary to fill up the deficit by nursing care. Objectives The first objective was to state the options to how to fill up the deficit of self-care by patienst after stroke. The second objective was to determine, whether the patient´s living environment has an impact the development of self-care. Research questions Q1: Does the home environment stimulate the acceleration of the return of self-care ability by patients after a stroke? Q2 : Does the respondent perceive the issue of own disability equaly as the surrounding? Q3 : Is it more beneficial for the patient to perform self-care with deficiency, or to receive perfect execution of it by others? Q4 : Does the patient perceive the subsequent therapy (physiotherapy, occupational therapy) as a faster way to return to sufficient self-care? The research part of the thesis was carried out by a qualitative survey, conducted as a individual semi-structured thematic interviews with respondents devided into two groups. One group consisted of patients after a stroke and a second group of caregivers. Total of 8 patients, 4 males and 4 females, were interviewed. The research was completed in three sessions, each at intervals of four to six weeks. The information received were processed by open coding method, analytical induction development of technology showdown and narrative analysis. Results Using data received from interviews with respondents it was possible to answer all the research questions. The first research question examined was, whether the home environment stimulates the acceleration of the return of self-care ability by patients after a stroke. According to interviews and objective evaluation, the domestic environment has improved overall condition and faster return to individual self-care. Although, aftercare provided enough nursing and rehabilitative care, patient very much appreciated mental stimulation given by the home environment. The second research question focused on whether the respondent perceives own disability equaly as the surrounding. The interviews showed most of the patients perceive their health and subsequent disabilities better than its surroundings. The third research question examined whether it is more beneficial for the patient to perform self-care with deficiency, or to receive perfect execution of it by others. The results indicated more benefits by performing own self-care, even with mistakes that encourage practising, thereby repeating and consolidating manners. Most of the respondents refused any help. The fourth research question focused on patient´s perception of the subsequent therapy (physiotherapy, occupational therapy) as a faster way to return to sufficient self-care. The interviews showed that the respondents did not realize the importance of aftercare, considered it to be routine and as a part of the treatment. Yet, increased physiotherapy activities results into a quicker adjustment of self-sufficiency. Conclusion The temporal evolution of self-sufficiency of patients after a stroke and the attitudes of caregivers are described in this thesis. The results are presented in a form of mental map. This might be used by the patients after stroke, nursing staff or official home caregivers and informal caregivers, as well.

Růst a jatečná hodnota býků a jalovic českého strakatého plemene skotu
Perničková, Andrea
This work focuses on increase, carcase and slaughter value. It should be mentioned that the growth of cattle is carried out intensively to six months of age. This period is necessary to pay great attention to the animal, as it affects the production period of the individual. Optima nutrition and quality WELFARE ensures that the animal will be in the coming years economically important for its farmers. One of the most important indicators of the carcass dressing percentage, which is the breed of Czech Pied cattle is around 58%. Net increase, however, is an important indicator of meat production are taken into account when breeding. Compared with heifers, bulls higher carcass yield and a lower propensity for fattening. For heifers has been shown that the age at slaughter has a significant impact on their meat production.

Adaptation process of graduate nurses
TUČKOVÁ, Marie
Adaptation process of graduate nurses The topic of this thesis is ?Adaptation process of graduate nurses?. The first goal of the thesis was to map satisfaction of graduate nurses with the way of initial training, their adaptation process duration and guiding. A questionnaire was used for assessment of satisfaction among the graduate nurses. The following hypotheses were set: H1: Graduate nurses are satisfied with the way of their initial training conduction, H2: Graduate nurses are satisfied with their adaptation process duration and H3 Graduate nurses are satisfied with their adaptation process guiding method. The second goal was to find out how the adaptation process of graduate nurses runs and how it is evaluated by head nurses. An interview was used for evaluation of satisfaction among head nurses. Two research questions were set. 1: How is the adaptation process of graduate nurses conducted? and 2: How do head nurses evaluate the adaptation process of graduate nurses? A questionnaire designed for graduate nurses in České Budějovice Hospital and Český Krumlov Hospital was used as a quantitative research technique. 50 questionnaires were distributed in total and 43 (86 %) returned. The research interviews showed that the adaptation process of graduate nurses is conducted according to Standard No. 055 defined by the České Budějovice Hospital and in line with a document ?Training Plan?. It involves allocation of a trainer to a graduate nurse, continuous assessment of theoretical knowledge and practical skills by means of oral examinations. We found that head nurses evaluated the adaptation process positively. The Training Plan and the training duration are sufficient for the head nurses. The adaptation process is necessary for all new nurses according to the head nurses. 66.8 % of the questioned graduate nurses are satisfied with the course of their adaptation process. The hypothesis H1 remained unconfirmed. All the respondents (100 %) were satisfied with the adaptation process duration. The hypothesis H2 was confirmed. 79.4 % of the respondents gave positive evaluation of the adaptation process guiding method, 2.3 % are not satisfied and 18.6 % said they were not guided at all. The hypothesis H3 remained unconfirmed. The results of the research may be offered to the addressed hospitals as a feedback to the method and usefulness of adaptation process guiding in their facilities and as a base for improvement of the process.

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.

Time going to the work and work injuries
ŘEŽÁBKOVÁ, Jana
Commuting is regular travelling between one?s place of residence and the place of work. A lot of us surely remember our grandmothers and grandfathers talking keenly how they used to go to work to a farm, weaving factory, distillery and further facilities. It used to be usual that people had jobs at distances they could walk. On the other hand nowadays it is quite normal that some people have their places of work tens of kilometres from their homes and they have to commute by various means of transport, get up early in the morning and return late in the evening. Technical evolution has made transport faster but it also brought longer distances to travel to work. Commuting is particularly necessary at places with imbalance between supply of and demand for jobs. About one third of inhabitants commute in the Czech Republic and the travel costs represent approximately ten per cent of family budgets. People that spend more time travelling to work are wrong tempered, they are tired and stressed by commuting and occupational accidents occur as a subsequence of these factors. The aim of the Thesis ??Commuting time and workplace accidents?q was to discover what the average commuting time was and whether commuting affected the health condition of a human. Another aim was to find out how frequent workplace accidents were and how consistent employees were in reporting workplace accidents. 5 hypotheses were set to reach the aim. A quantitative method of questionnaire survey was applied on the research; the data were collected from commuting employees of a health facility, a school and a manufacturing company and compared. The data analyses did not prove that commuting caused health problems, so the hypothesis No. 1 was refuted. The second hypothesis suggesting that people from villages spend more time commuting than those living in towns was confirmed. Another hypothesis that each employee has suffered from a workplace accident was on the other hand refuted. The fourth hypothesis suggesting that fatigue, bad concentration, insomnia as a subsequence of commutation cause workplace accidents was also refuted. The last hypothesis suggesting that employees often do not inform their employers on their workplace accidents was also refuted. The Bachelor Thesis may improve knowledge of the time spent by commuting to work and subsequent occurrence of workplace accidents. The manual designed proposes preventive measures against workplace accidents and brings information in this field.

The development and transformation of broadcasting programms for youth radio in cr (1992-2010)
Ouřadová, Anna ; Wolák, Radim (advisor) ; Maršík, Josef (referee)
This work gives a comprehensive look on talk programmes for the young in the offer of Czech Radio since 1992 to present. It focuses on characteristics of talk programmes for the young across stations of Czech Radio (2, 3 and 6) and a summary of talk programmes of station for the young Radio Wave. The offer of talk programmes for the young since 1992 to present shows that Czech Radio since its inception deals with insufficient or imbalanced filling of the Act, which obliges Czech Radio in relation to young listeners. Its current offer could be considered sufficient but certainly not balanced. Prevailing journalistic talk programmes for the young tend to expand their field of interest but on the other hand they deal with narrowing range of genres. Programmes Assault (Přepadení) and Demolition (Bourání) prove that talk programmes for the young have the potention to enrich radio production in general with new topics and new forms. But talk programmes for the young of Czech Radio are facing one crucial problem and that is of lack of audience in the age between 15 and 30. Some of necessary steps that will lead to improvement will probably be putting station for the young back to analogue broadcasting and extension of programmess for youth on the internet.
