Possibilities of using nursing model Betty Neuman in prevention of overweight and obesity.
TŘÍSKOVÁ, Lucie
Lifestyle, decrease in physical activity, advance in new technologies, industrialization and globalization contribute to the increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity. Considering the number of factors participating in their formation might be beneficial for the nurses to use the Betty Neuman's conceptual model to evaluate the involved factors and the level of their influence. In accordance with this evaluation also set the interventions in the individual stages of prevention. The aim of this thesis was to describe the possibilities of utilization the Betty Neuman's conceptual model in prevention of overweight and obesity. In the investigative part the quantitative and qualitative research were used. The quantitative research was performed by means of a non-standardized questionnaire intended for the nurses from Vysočina region and Jihočeský region. The qualitative research was implemented via a semi-structured interview with the overweight or obese individuals and nurses from the same regions. Relating to the people with overweight and obesity, no significant differences in stressors were found after the quantitative data analysis. However, the results reveal a considerable dissatisfaction with the overall appearance and health condition. They also reveal the perception of the overweight and obesity impact at work. The respondents show an interest in weight reduction, some of them try repeatedly. Equally, the qualitative data analysis implies that the overweight and obese patients percept themselves with less satisfaction. The most frequent problems are higher weight, troubles with breathing and pain in legs while walking. With regard to general nurses, it was found out that they approach the overweight and obese patients the same way as the rest of the patients. They would recommend regular and healthy diet and exercise. The gathered results reveal the necessity of communication with the individuals who suffer from overweight and obesity. For the lifestyle transformation, sufficient education supported by motivation is crucial.

Characterization of hard rock environment: archive borehole data and conceptual model
Vacková, Alena ; Bruthans, Jiří (advisor) ; Kůrková, Iva (referee)
This study is focused on characterization of the hardrock environment in surroundings of Sazava river. It is based on the archival data of groundwater table in boreholes, results of pumping tests from Geofond database and topographic data (DMR , watercourse, etc.). ArcMap 10.1 and Excel were used for data processing. The relations between the groundwater table depth, water table gradient, specific yield, transmissivity and variety of topographic parameters (distance from a watercourse, elevation, relative elevation above the nearest watercourse, the terrain gradient, etc.) were studied. Close linear relationship exists between the gradient of the terrain and groundwater table (rxy 0.96) in the study area. Groundwater table gradient is on average 88 % of terrain gradient. Mean groundwater table gradient is 10 % (6). The average transmissivity in the area is 1.27 x 10-4 m2 /s, specific yield is usually between 0.01 and 0.1 l/s m. This corresponds to the low and very low transmissivity class. Variability of transmisivity values is high. The difference between transmisivity in discharge and recharge zone, assumed by previous authors, was not confirmed in the study area. Specific base flow calculated from mean transmissivity, terrain/ water table gradient and river network density based on Krásný and...

Adapting Service Interfaces when Business Processes Evolve
Kudelas, Vladimír ; Nečaský, Martin (advisor) ; Richta, Karel (referee)
In the presented work, we study a derivation of an optimal communication XML schemas for a given conceptual model of a business process, complemented with a conceptual model of exchanged data and influence of a change in user requirements on derived XML schema. The work contains a review of important problems related to the topic. It also describes existing approaches of these problems. The work analyses a derivation of an optimal XML schema in detail. The approach presented in this thesis shows an ability to model exchanged data with a conceptual model of a business process. The thesis describes a solution, how to derive a concrete XML schema automaticly from a given conceptual model of exchanged data. Finally, the work contains a prototype implementation of the presented solution.

Information System Generating
Voborník, Petr ; Jirák, Ota (referee) ; Ruttkay, Ladislav (advisor)
The work sets out requirements for the implementation of information systems generator. It deals with finding common elements of information systems. Further it specifies requirements for registration of a conceptual model. Then it goes on to describe user's general point of view of systems. Implementation technologies are chosen and architecture of generated systems is designed based on mentioned analysis. Generated systems are designed to provide basic operations for working with items of the system. Moreover, different ways of generating code are discussed. Metamodel of conceptual model is designed and its possible types of representation are discussed. At the end problems which generator deals with are described.

The development of conceptual nursing models
KLÍMOVÁ, Martina
The bachelor thesis "The Development of Conceptual Nursing Models" has a theoretical character and its aim is to analyse the approach to conceptual models from their very beginning to the present. The thesis is conceived as an analytical study followed by the elaboration of an interpretative text. The method of textual hermeneutics was used for text analysis and subsequent interpretation. The documents obtained were first collected, then analysed and subsequently interpreted. In connection with the analysis of the text, the question was asked: How have the conceptual nursing models been developed over time? The development of nursing models can be traced from the beginning of the professional nursing, dating back to the mid-19th century. Florence Nightingale is considered to be the founder of professional nursing, and although her concept was not taken as a model at first, it is believed it represents the beginning of the development of nursing models. The development of the models has been going on all the time up to the present, and the most important development took place in the 1960s. The development was also affected by the events which occurred at that time in the world, the development of medicine and last but not least, the development of nursing education and the possibility of higher education in the field of nursing. Proper use of conceptual models is important for both nurses and patients. Thanks to the models, nursing is not provided only in accordance with the biomedical model as it used to be in earlier times, but on the contrary there are efforts to use models reflecting holistic approach and humanism. The text shows that the inspiration for nursing comes from the attitude change of nurses to patients and vice versa patients to nurses, as well as the emphasis on meeting the needs of both patients and nurses. The results of the thesis should lead to deeper understanding of the importance of nursing models for nurses working in clinical practice, as well as for students preparing for the nursing profession.

The possibilities of application of the Roy and Neuman model in clinical practice in the 50+ generation.
HEJNOVÁ, Iveta
The 50+ generation has become an age group that is aging according to the statistical data and the number of individuals in this age category is rising. The aging process is accompanied by numerous physical, mental and social changes. As a consequence of these processes new and modified needs occur in these individuals, to which the provided care has to be adapted. We have linked this issue with conceptual models in nursing. This is because a conceptual model will help us integrate patient information into coherent and comprehensible blocks. An important goal of conceptual models is to simplify the work of nurses, who can see a patient as a whole thanks to them. We chose two models in relation to this issue, namely Calista Roy's model and Betty Neuman's model. We chose two research goals on the basis of the topic of the thesis. The first one was to map the knowledge of selected conceptual models among nurses. And the second goal was to find out the specifics of the nursing care in the 50+ group with the application of selected conceptual models from the point of view of nurses. We applied both, qualitative and quantitative methods to the research. Within the quantitative research we used a non-standardized questionnaire. In the qualitative part we applied the focus group method. Three hypotheses and one research question were set in relation to the research. We are able to confirm two of the three hypotheses. The statistical results have shown that the knowledge of the open-systems model and the adaptation model corresponds with the education of the respondents. Respondents with tertiary education show better knowledge of these models. On the other hand, no relation in taking the specifics in the satisfaction of the needs into account in the provision of nursing care in the 50+ generation was confirmed. A procedure for collection of the nursing anamnesis in the 50+ generation was created on the basis of the research. On the basis of this procedure we can enable healthcare staff to classify the patient information into logical systems and therefore to obtain a quality and comprehensive view of a patient. After the completion of the qualitative research we evaluated the proposals of our respondents for the theoretical as well as the practical part of the anamnesis collection. These respondents showed knowledge of the models. They most often criticized bad intelligibility or even redundancy of a question. Among benefits they named simplicity, reasonability and quality evaluation of the nursing care.
