Tomanová, Michaela ; Starnovská, Tamara (advisor) ; Procházka, Ivo (referee)
The relationships between nutritional status, infectious diseases, and the immune system suggest that nutrition is an indisputable cofactor in the progression of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. One of the main complications of HIV infection is multifactorial malnutrition, however, overweight and obesity have become more frequent. A specialized nutritional intervention should be an integral part of routine medical care for people living with HIV. It has been shown that the incidence of wasting syndrome and critical malnutrition among people living with HIV has significantly decreased simultaneously with the side effects of modern antiretroviral drugs. The side effects of modern antiretroviral therapy are much less common than previous generations of drugs. On the other hand, the prevalence of obesity and other chronic diseases associated with it has increased significantly among people living with HIV. The practical part describes and evaluates the monitoring of eating habits of 10 people living with HIV. The aim of this work was to provide a summary of information about proper nutritional care for this population, to evaluate the eating habits of the respondents and to come up with a potentional nutritional intervention and education.

The phenomenon of eating habits of users in the context of social media
Šulcová, Barbora ; Reifová, Irena (advisor) ; Soukup, Martin (referee)
The original intentions for social media were communication and entertainment. However, social media keep evolving and since the birth of the first internet-accessible social platforms, we saw a significant shift. Currently, social media are used for many more purposes, such as an easy way to earn money, which is often used by both companies and individuals. Considering the fact that internet is minimally regulated in this aspect, the tempting vision of earning money or gaining more followers may often lead to disinformation in social media posts. It is not unusual to come across lifestyle and diet advice which may be unsuitable for every user, or even be dangerous to their health. Even then, these information are sometimes celebrated and shared further amongst users. This Masters Thesis focuses on how social media affect their users regarding forming and shaping their diet from the point of view of the users. Using both quantitative and qualitative research methods, the researcher is trying to find how social media consumers approach information learnt on these platforms, including their willingness to verify their validity.
