Can application of any fat tax solve the obesity in the Czech Republic?
Nádvorníková, Iva ; Koblovský, Petr (advisor) ; Potužák, Pavel (referee)
Bachelor thesis focuses on so called "taxes from fat" and consequences of their application on some of the unhealthy and often consumed food in the Czech Republic. Because this tax is regressive, its main purpose should be the direct decrease of food consumption, not increase of national budget income. Therefore on some of the chosen products is calculated demand elasticity by use of regresive models and derived estimated impact of price increase for each of the products. Results indicate, that demand for all of the considered products in the Czech republic is not elastic and implementation of taxes from fat would have little impact on the reduction of unhealthy food consumption and almost no effect on decrease of obesity.

The obesity as an actual problem of today´s society
FRYŠOVÁ, Iveta
This Bachelor Study is on the topic of The obesity as an actual problem of today´s society. Its aim is to summarize the basic topics and questions about the obesity and to show what is the ideal of the body beauty and the body weigh from the view of people who suffer from the obesity, overweight people and also of people with the normal weight. For the research three hypothesis have been set: 1. People suffering from the obesity don´t differ in the point of view of mental representation of the ideal body figure from the common population. 2. The lifestyle of people suffering from the obesity has nothing to do with their conception of the ideal body figure. 3. People suffering from the obesity don´t differ in the point of view of the satisfaction with their body from overweight people. There have been chosen a quantitative {--} qualitative research. The questionnaire was wholly anonymous. The research took place in January and February 2007. First hypothesis was refuted. Second and third hypothesis were confirmed. In my opinion the aim of the Study was accomplished. There are many of TV programmes, books, magazines or web sites that attent to the obesity. The reason is that the number of people who suffer from this disease grows up in whole Europe. The obesity is defined as an excessive physical mass with increased portion of the adipose tissue. It is not only the aesthetic problem. The obesity can cause many health problems, e.g. diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cancer, gynaecologist problems, cardiac or joint diseases. This condition can also have an impact on the human mental sphere and depressions or anxiety can occur. Today ´s ideal of the body beauty is a very thin figure. Women and girls are forced to be on a diet. There are more and more people who just only think that they are overweight or obese. The diet industry has gigantic power to support the idealization of the slimness.

Informedness about lifestyle of patients with diagnosis Diabetes mellitus
BEČKOVÁ, Věra
This thesis aims to depict the contemporary situation in diabetes patients{\crq} awareness of healthy life style and to determine whether the information on healthy life style is reasonably accessible and comprehensible to patients or not and whether they abide by the rules. I set four assumptions for this thesis: 1. The diabetes mellitus patients feel that the information on healthy life style within the frame of their illness is sufficient and accessible. 2. One third of the informants feels that the information on healthy life style in terms of their disease is not accessible. 3. One third of the informants has difficulties with apprehension of the information on healthy life style in terms of their illness. 4. More than half of the informants abides by the information on healthy life style in terms of their illness. The selected group of informants consisted of diabetes mellitus patients. The data were extracted from anonymous questionnaire intended for the patients of two diabetology clinics in Znojmo regardless their age, sex or diabetes type. 150 questionnaires were distributed. The finite number of questionnaires used for data compilation after elimination of erroneously or incompletely filled items was 118. The results of the research revealed that most of the patients feel sufficiently informed and that the information on healthy life style is reasonably accessible. Nevertheless only 22,9% of informants abide by the information on healthy style, the rest of the informants is not able to manage all the rules they should be conformant with or cannot change their life styles in accordance with the advices of professionals. I would like to emphasize the importance of information on healthy life style in the frame of diabetes mellitus that can help the patients to prevent the unfavourable complications of this disease and therefore improve the quality of their lives. Nevertheless also the patient must feel the consciousness and need to abide the rules of healthy life style. That is why I consider the distributing information on healthy life style of diabetics very important and hope that my thesis will also serve this purpose.
