Abstract Ageing is an irreversible and nonrecurring biological process. Old age is the final stage of life. It is characterized by involutional and mental changes. Ageing has a significent impact on the social status of a person. The typical attribute of old age is polymorbidity. The aged often suffer from chronic ailment that go together with pains. Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage. Nociception is the physiological event that is accompanied by pain. Nonpharmaceutical therapies affect human mind and thus help to ease pain. These techniques enhance the quality of life and make life more comfortable. The aim of my thesis was to make a survey of nonpharmaceutical inhibition of perception of pain at the nursing process in seniors staying at retirement homes or nursing homes. Using a method of questionnaires as a quantitative research, I focused on the question of using alternative, nonpharmaceutical method of pain management after the previous assessment of a patient´s condition. To different medical care facilities, 120 questionnaires were handed out. The 85 questionnaires that were filled in correctly were used for evaluation . The respondents were selected at random {--} 41 nurses from homes for seniors and 44 nurses working in long-term care facilities. From the Hvizdal retirement home I received only 13 questionnares I could assess and from the Maj retirement home only 16 nurses handed in the questionnaires filled in correctly. I was given 12 correctly filled questionnaires from the retirement home in Jicin and 28 from the Gerontcentre in Hostinne. The total number of 85 correctly filled questionnaires is completed by those 16 from nurses working in the long-term care facility in Lomnice nad Popelkou. The objective of my thesis has been achieved. The hypothesis H I {--} nurses working with seniors in medical care facilites use nonpharmaceutical therapies after the previous assessment of a patient´s condition {--} was confirmed. The hypothesis H II {--} nurses use nonphamaceutical therapies without the previous assessment of a patient´s condition {--}was not confirmed.

Molecular and environmental factors connected to diapause and aging in insect
ZDECHOVANOVÁ, Lenka
Current models state that insect peripheral oscillators are directly responsive to light, while mammalian peripheral clock genes are coordinated by a master clock in the brain via intermediate factors, possibly hormonal. We show that the expression levels of two circadian clock genes, period (per) and Par Domain Protein 1 (Pdp1) in the peripheral tisue of an insect model species are inversely affected by contrasting photoperiods. The effect of photoperiod on per and Pdp1 mRNA levels was found to be mediated by the juvenile hormone. Our results provide the first experimental evidence for hormonal regulation of circadian clock gene expression in insects.
