Oscillating electrolytes in electrophoresis
Riesová, Martina
Oscillating electrophoretic systems are systems exhibiting oscillations in concentration profiles of all ions when electric current is passing through them. These systems were predicted from linear model of electromigration and the oscillations are a direct consequence of complex system eigenmobilities. We searched for ternary oscillating systems composed of two acids and one base. A tool we used was program PeakMaster, which was modified to enable easier and faster finding of systems with complex eigenmobilities and optimization of their composition. We found eight ternary systems with complex eigenmobility and inspected them experimentally. Five of them proved oscillating behavior. We also found one quaternary oscillating system. To compare theory and experiment we calculated in PeakMaster a theoretical position of the system zones with complex eigenmobilities. In experiments we recognized the system zones like a small gap in the pattern of oscillation. Position of this gap was in very good agreement with theoretical prediction by PeakMaster. We confirmed that the complete oscillating pattern travels in the capillary with velocity determined by real part of complex eigenmobility. Also we tested a robustness of oscillation in some systems and compared simulated the amplitude of oscillations with...

Substitute Family Care from the Perspective of Homosexual Men
VODRÁŽKOVÁ, Pavlína
The bachelor thesis covers the topic of homosexual's views on Surrogate family care, not only from the viewpoint of the sexual orientation. The theoretical part of the thesis covers the topics of various aspects of homosexuality, Surrogate family care and the raising of children by homosexuals. The qualitative research method, specifically phenomenological examination, has been selected for the research part of the thesis. Data collection has been realised using semi-structured interviews. The research sample has consisted of eight communication partners. These communication partners were childless homosexual males, aged 20 35 years old. They were selected using the Snowball sampling technique. The aim of the thesis is to discover what are homosexual male's stances towards Surrogate family care in context with their sexual orientation and subsequently how do they perceive the Czech system of Surrogate family care. To achieve these goals two research questions were crated. The first research question asks whether homosexual males consider the Czech Surrogate family care system negative in any way. The second research question then seeks the answer to the question whether homosexual men desire to be parents. The results of the research show that the opinions of male homosexuals towards raising children are very diverse. Most of the communication partners are more inclined to become parents. Some however don't know whether they would like to raise a child or not. The most frequently mentioned obstacles which prevent the communication partners to raise children include the lack of time, the lack of money, the fact that they don't have a partner, age and a lot of other factors. In regards to the Czech Surrogate family care system, the communication partners consider its greatest shortage the fact that homosexuals cannot adopt a child. They also see problems in the heterosexual adoptive parents selection process, in the way how the true interests of biological parents are defined and in the possibility of taking children from foster care.

Pre-hospital emergency care of patients with carbon monoxide intoxication
HAJÍČKOVÁ, Iva
The bachelor's thesis deals with the topic of the pre-hospital emergency urgent care for patients poisoned by the carbon monoxide. This issue has been known already for a number of years, but only in the last time it started to be presented more frequently in media. The carbon monoxide is a colourless gas which is not recognizable by senses. It comes into being as a secondary product of the not perfect combustion of the carbonaceous substances. The seriousness of these symptoms depends on the intensity of intoxication. The target of this thesis was to map the issue of treating the client with the suspect of poisoning by carbon monoxide from the viewpoint of the Medical Rescue Service and other components of the Integrated Rescue System. Moreover I verified the knowledge of lay public in connection with the intoxication by carbon monoxide. The research took place in the form of half-managed talks with the medical rescuer and physicians of the Medical Rescue Service of the South Bohemian Region. The same research procedure was carried out in the Firemen Corps of the South Bohemian Region. The respondents were asked eight questions finding out how many cases of the carbon monoxide intoxication they encountered in their practice, what the most frequent reasons caused the intoxication and what care was provided to the intoxicated persons. Among the lay public, the knowledge was established by the survey method. Also this research complex consisted of nine respondents, having been addressed accidentally in the schools, during travelling in town, in business centres and during sport events. Most frequently were among the enquired persons: students, also a nurse or deputy director of a company. The respondents answered seven pre-printed questions. The sense of these questions was to find out if at least a small part of the lay public has some idea of the intoxication of the carbon monoxide. If they ever encountered the intoxication by the carbon monoxide, how they would behave in this situation and in what way they would provide the first aid. In both parts of the research, the results are presented in the charts, to have a better survey. In has turned out in the talks concerning the occurrence of the intoxication by the carbon monoxide that the length of practice is not very important, because also the persons working in the branch for a longer time have no such high number of interventions concerning intoxication by the carbon monoxide as some of their colleagues working in practice only several years. Moreover it was established that the most cases of intoxication appeared in connection with geyser and subsequently during fires. The health state of affected persons ranged from the light intoxication up to very heavy intoxication with the subsequent death. Depending on these states, the experts provided the adequate pre-hospital care completed subsequently in the hospital facility. It turned out that although the most respondents were not able to say if the number of intoxications by the carbon monoxide has been increasing or decreasing, their answers are identical in the most cases and indicate that their number has been rather decreasing Concerning the lay public, only a small part of respondents was interviewed and the result of research cannot be quantified. This part of the research has shown that although nobody of the enquired persons encountered the intoxication by the carbon dioxide, the respondents know in the most cases how they should behave in case of the intoxication and in what way the first aid should be provided. The most frequent source of their information of carbon monoxide intoxication and the first aid was the knowledge acquired during studies. Further details concerning the research are specified in more detail in the discussion. The general awareness of people concerning the intoxication is on a good level thanks to education and media.

The Influence of Dynamic Stretching to the Immediate Enforcement
SVOBODA, Vojtěch
The work is focused on the evaluation of the impact of two types of stretching on subsequent performance. With regard to the content can be divided into practical and theoretical. A practical part brings relevant knowledge to solve problems. Attention is given to the anatomy of the muscle fiber, the physiology of muscle contraction and muscle connections with the central nervous system. The study also describes the proprioceptive function of muscles, the anatomical dimensions and principles of operation. In connection with the internal control possibilities stretching the muscles are in the theoretical part also describes the reflexes at the level of the muscle fiber. General principles of stretching can be found in this section too. The following is a detailed resolution types of stretching and their implementation, advantages and disadvantages. At the end of the theoretical part describes general contraindications stretching and hypermobility as one of the risk factors. The second part belonged to practical research. The research aims to answer the question: "Which type of stretching before exercise has a better effect on the actual performance?" For this purpose we selected eight active athletes. After showing of concrete stretching workouts were tested person familiar with the disciplines in which the effect of stretching measured. It was a 40 yard sprint, a specific form of the shuttle run, jump from a place in the distance and the implementation of push-ups without stopping to find the maximum number of times. These disciplines have been always performed after the application of one type of stretching, with a minimum range of measurement was determined at 24 hours, for reasons of objectivity research. Overall, each activity was measured four times - twice after the static and twice after the dynamic stretching. Research records the individual variations in the measured values after the static and dynamic stretching in all tests. For better clarity, the deviations from the established arithmetic averages referring to the average positive and negative deviations. The resulting values are then captured in tables, graphically and verbally explained. All the four measurements showed analogous results. In the first three disciplines is a better determination of the dynamic type of stretching due to the relatively higher performance of individual activities. For Sprint and the shuttle run times were recorded less necessary to overcome the distance. At the same time was also significantly better in negative average deviation of the measured times after dynamic stretching. The last tested motion became workout pushups without rest for the maximum number of repetitions achieved. Based on this research it is not possible to determine the appropriate method of preparation for discipline. Implementation of push ups assigns power-endurance nature. Due to the relatively clear results for the other, short-term activities associated with the maximum of performance, it seems clear that the type of stretching manifests a greater impact with this type of load compared to strength-endurance exercise in the form of push-ups. Chapter titled "Discussion" is again divided into two parts. In the first analysis is made of the results and conclusions with regard to possible opposition view on objectivity of measurement. Research is generally considered as the objective and the results are accorded legitimacy. In the second part of the discussion are the conclusions obtained subject to comparison with other international studies that have looked at the impact of these types of stretching at the same or a similar discipline. Given the above facts and research itself can be considered for answering the research question. Short-term disciplines carried out with maximum intensity can be demonstrated dynamic stretching before the actual performance for better compared to static stretching.

Muscle imbalance in students of physiotherapy
ČURDOVÁ, Aneta
The muscle imbalance is a phenomenon which was first described by professor Janda. Some muscles have a tendency to shorten themselves, others to loose strength. The consequence of these tendencies is a formation of imbalances which may negatively affect motion senses as well as a whole motion apparatus. Predisposing the formation of muscle dysbalance is predestined by the superiority of tonic or phase fibers in the individual muscle groups. The disruption of coordination between muscles can lead to a formation of problems with motoric apparat. Postural changes and functioning problems can be deepened with lowering of deep stabilization as well as with inappropriate ergonomics. The physiotherapist often deals with patient's muscle imbalances, but that doesn't mean he can avoid the formation of these imbalances in his own body. The physical requirement for this kind of job demands the right ergonomics of work which lowers the risks. The advantage of physiotherapist is in his theoretical and practical knowledge, which he can apply on his own body, balance the muscle groups in his body and thus eliminate the risk of formation of functional problems and painful conditions. The main goal of this work was to map the occurrence of muscle imbalances in the selected group of students of the physiotherapy. The second goal was to suggest some precautions that would help to avoid the functional problems caused by the muscle imbalances. The study was focused on students of the first year of the physiotherapy discipline on the South Bohemia University. There were 37 participants from whom there were 33 women and 4 men. Due to the specific focus on the muscle imbalances the only muscles that were examined were shortened muscles and weakened muscles in connection with the quality of involvement into the motion stereotypes and also hypermobility. Due to the fact that muscle imbalances and functional disorders are closely related to the quality of the stabilization system and breath there was also evaluated the breathing stereotype and the ability to activate the diaphragm. The occurrence of the painful areas in muscles was mapped by the palpation examination. The students were asked targeted questions in order to find out if any of them had regular problems with for example backache, knees and so on and if they had an accident or underwent a surgery of the motion system. The students were also asked about the sports activity, if they do these sports on regular basis and which kind of sports they do specifically. For a complete evaluation of the student's endurance they were marked with the BMI index, the WHR index and the Ruffier index. In almost all cases there were some sorts of imbalances. In the evaluation of the upper body imbalances (upper crossed syndrome to be exact) there were only 2 students who didn't have this dysbalance. On the contrary there were 10 students with all sorts of imbalances and thus the upper cross syndrome was proved. In the evaluation of the lower body imbalances (lower crossed syndrome) all students had some kind of dysbalance, but there were only three students with proven lower cross syndrome. From the evaluation of the breathing types and diaphragm tests was proven that only eight students can activate diaphragm and diaphragmatic breathing. Due to positive occurrence of some kind of muscle imbalances in every student's body it was recommended to accept some sort of precautions. But these precautions can't be used universally, because every combination of different imbalances requires individual approach. This work can be used by professionals as well as by students of physiotherapy. This work can also be extended by another research which would compare the results with, for example, the occurrence of imbalances in higher classes of physiotherapy or in another discipline.

Care of adolescents before and after operation of phimosis using classification systems NANDA, NIC and NOC
KOŽÍŠKOVÁ, Zlata
This thesis focuses on the issue of nursing care for adolescent boys who have undergone phimosis surgery. The nursing care is then evaluated according to the NANDA, NIC and NOC classification systems. The theoretical part deals with topics such as adolescence, phimosisa disease of the external genitalia of a man, preoperative and postoperative care for boys with phimosis, and the classification taxonomy of the NANDA, NIC and NOC classification systems, which represent the comprehensive standardized, but still evolving, nursing language. Available Czech and foreign literary sources were used for the compilation of the theoretical part of the stated subject. The empirical part of the thesis was processed using qualitative and quantitative research methods: content analyzes, modelling, thought experiment, structured and semi-structured interviews, and qualitative data analysis. Four objectives were defined. The way adolescent boys perceive and experience the bio-psycho-social aspects of the problems that the pre-op and post-op period brings, has been assessed using the NANDA, NIC and NOC classification systems. There were 46.66% of respondents with higher education, 53.34% of respondents with secondary education, and eight adolescent boys who had received phimosis surgery, all of whom contributed to the assessment. It was found that adolescent boys initially addressed their physician regarding the phimosis problem, because they had a sense of trust and anonymity, but also to some degree because of necessity. It is surprising that young men with this type of personal problem rather speak to their mothers. When it comes to peer relationships, the boys confide the problem to their peers, but they do not ask them for help in this area. The boys named the internet as the main source of information. The following assessments were made using the Fehring methods for determining the weighted scores. Out of 13 nursing diagnoses within the NNN classification systems there were 112 major and minor characteristics (41.18%) selected by the university educated respondents, 80 major and minor characteristics (29,41%) selected by by the secondary school educated respondents, and nine major and minor characteristics (3.31%) were selected by the adolescent boys. Out of the 15 nursing interventions published in the Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC), 203 major and minor characteristics (55.31%) were chosen by the university educated respondents and 235 major and minor characteristics (64.03%) were chosen by the secondary school educated respondents. Out of the 11 expected nursing outcomes published in the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC), 39 major and minor characteristics (15.42%) were selected by the university educated respondents, while 34 major and minor characteristics (13.44%) were selected by the secondary school educated respondents. By implementing the NANDA, NIC and NOC classification systems in nursing care one can expect to find solutions that help the professionals in nursing care to apply the nursing process effectively, and that allow nursing care to focus more on the individual needs of patients and to be improved in all areas.
