System of the prevention of social-pathological illnesses and implementation of the system at primary schools
ONDRÁČKOVÁ, Kateřina
Our diploma thesis entitled ?The system of prevention of social and pathological phenomena and its implementation at elementary schools? engages in the analysis of possibilities and conditions for and approaches to the implementation of primary pre-vention at elementary schools. The objective of the present diploma is to describe how systems of primary prevention work on the regional and school levels; accordingly, we have performed a comparison of different approaches to this issue at selected schools in the regions of South Bohemia and Pardubice. We have analyzed programmes of the aforesaid regions on the conceptual level, observing the implementation of preventive programmes at particular schools (such as elementary or special). Furthermore, we have examined the assistance as actually pro-vided to schools during the formation of school preventive programmes and their influ-ence on pupils or students as such. We are also interested in how the possibilities that are on offer for the cooperation among schools are utilized and how schools make use of grant programmes provided by regional authorities. The present thesis is divided into two parts, theoretical and practical. The theo-retical part first characterizes and defines basic terms, explaining the most common so-cial and pathological phenomena with the largest impact on the young. Second, a men-tion is made of the system of prevention at both the school and regional levels. Accord-ingly, the practical part focuses on the analysis of school activities in the area of preven-tion, particularly the methodology of prevention, the support of the formation of preven-tive programmes and the influence such programmes have on children. The conclusion summarizes presuppositions and hypotheses which are men-tioned in the introduction. A sociological survey has been conducted at selected schools by means of questionnaires, which will be evaluated at the end of our thesis.

The Impact of the Hemp on People
ŽIŽKOVÁ, Petra
This thesis deals with the hemp, its dividing as for marijuana and hashish processing. Botanic aspect, which means the technical hemp, was also considered, even though this is not the main content of my thesis. This thesis also deals with structure of the hemp, its history and medical view. I would like to point to the fact where is this plant able to help (to which ilnesses).Further, pathological effects are considered, so as if marijuana is {--} straight after alcohol and cigarettes {--} the most sought drug, not only with today's young people. The next tasks are to find out if marijuana is really a starting drug, its comparison with alcohol, and addiction. And last but not least the legality of this plant in the Czech Republic and other countries. This thesis certainly is not written for the purpose of drug addiction spread, but for general awareness of this extraordinary plant.

Experience with alkohol at students of secondary vocational schools in Chomutov
RAZAKOWSKÁ, Jana
Alcohol consumption has been widespread among young people in the Czech Republic. Since our society accept this phenomenon the problematics has become more and more serious. The thesis should map the situation concerning alcohol consumption among 15{--}19 year old students of secondary technical schools in Chomutov, their first experience with this drug, where they first tasted it and how often they use it, and compare the results of the survey to the ESPAD study. Some other information was requested, e.g. students´ opinion on abstinence from drinking at social events or their personal experience of illegal drugs. The theoretical part of the thesis is concerned with the impact of alcohol use on a human body, alcohol abuse rise, alcoholism as a psychosomatic disease, risks resulting from drinking alcohol and prevention of this pathological phenomenon. The hypothesis stated at the beginning, that most students have personal experience with alcohol drinking, has been proved. A quantitative method based on the unnamed questionnaires for 15{--}19 year old students was used for collecting the data. It was proceeded by a test survey at secondary nursing school where only some students were chosen to respond so that the functionality and completeness of the questionnaire could be checked. There were 259 students asked to fill in the questionnaire. 96,5 % of them drink alcohol occasionally, they first tasted it at home parties when they were 13 years old. The results of this survey were referred to school headteachers and those who are working on social pathological phenomenon prevention so that they can use the information in the framework of primary prevention at schools.

Smoking at children and young people - analysis in 8 years age spread
SUCHÁ, Kateřina
Abstract The topic of my bachelor work is Smoking of children and youth {--} analysis in an eight-year age range. Smoking of children and youth is a highly discussed problem at present; therefore I have chosen that phenomenon for my bachelor work. The first part describes the present general status of the topic of smoking. I used literary sources stated in references for that topic. I focus on the history of smoking, on the composition of tobacco smoke; I describe individual types of tobacco products, the manifestations of tobacco intoxication, the essence of dependence, types of tobacco dependence and the withdrawal symptoms. I deal with the topic of passive smoking, diseases related with smoking and smoking during pregnancy. I also focus on risk and protective factors of children and youth in relation to habit-forming substances. Another circuit of the current status is treatment of tobacco dependence and its types. In conclusion I described the topic of tobacco product advertising. The research performed used quantitative method from sociological point of view. Two questionnaires were used for data collection. One questionnaire was used to collect data at the elementary school of Mirotice and it was intended for pupils of third through sixth classes (see Annex No. 1). The second questionnaire was intended to students of the 1st through 4th classes of the Secondary agricultural school of Písek (see Annex No. 2). The first aim was to ascertain whether more girls or boys smoke at present. After evaluating the results, I came to the conclusion that more girls than boys smoke. The second aim was to compare the frequency of smoking in 8-9-year old children with 16-17-year old young persons. I could not compare that aim. No 8-9-year old child stated to smoke. I have stated two hypotheses: 1. Children and young people are not informed about the health risks originating at smoking. That hypothesis was not confirmed. According to the answers, children are sufficiently informed about the health risks of smoking. 2. Children and young people are the most strongly motivated to smoke by friends and the media. The research showed that children and youth are the most frequently motivated by friends; negative influence of media was not confirmed. From the total number of 139 respondents, only 40 smoke, which is not so highly alarming situation. One of the means to eliminate even more the status of smoking of children and youth could be particularly an increase of preventive programs at schools, because almost a half of the respondents answered that no such program was running at their school.

The transfer sources of hepatitis C among drug users.
BACÚŠANOVÁ, Veronika
Hepatitis C is one of the main causes of chronic liver diseases development, especially in young people. The number of people infected with the hepatitis C virus worldwide ranges from 170 to 200 millions, i.e 3 % world population. The prevalence depends on the geografical location and the socio-economic level of the country. The biggest prevalence is in Africa, South America and South-East Asia. The serious fact is that the infection often has a mild or asymptomatic course. The clinical picture may be uncharactesistic and the diagnosis can be made as late as in the advanced stages of the disease, such as liver cirrhosis or hepatocelular carcinom. In the past the most common way how to transmit the infestion was by the blood transfusion. After the screening tests were introduced in the beginning of the 90th, the number of persons infected by this way has considerably decreased. The intravenous toxicomania leading to the infection with the hepatitic C virus has been a great problem recently. More than one half of the hepatitis C occurence was caused by sharing and re-using infected syringes, needles and other aids by drug addicts in whom the prevalence of the disease is 85 %. However, their therapy is very difficult with regard to the lack of their regular cooperation with physicians. Other possible ways of the infection transmission is a sexual contact with an infected person or a less frequent transmission mother-child. There is no effective vaccination against the hepatitis C virus yet. To prevent the transmission it is neccesary to avoid contact with body fluids of infected persons. In the theoretical section I focused my attention on the summary of important facts on hepatitis C and some aspects of drug abuse. In the practical section I focused on the survey of the behaviour and attitudes of intravenous drug abusers and risks significant for the spread of hepatitis C within the drug population.

Smoking - The Current Treatment Possibilities of Nicotine Addiction
CHYTILOVÁ, Monika
In comparison with other countries the Czech Republic has a relatively high prevalence of tobacco smoking. What is alarming is the growing number of 15-year-olds who smoke at least one cigarette a week. While in 1997 to 1998 this comprised 22% of boys and 18 % of girls, in 2001 to 2002 this figure had increased to almost 29% of boys and 31% of girls. Around 30 % of adults in this country are smokers, yet 70 % of these, i.e. around one and a half people, want to quit. Very few of them are successful without adequate therapy. This is also the reason why in 2008 a total of six tobacco addiction treatment centres were established.So far we have no accurate economic data relating to the costs of treating smoking and other health complications which result from smoking. There is, however, no reason to assume that these figures would be particularly different from those for other European countries. Some health insurance companies are aware of the high costs of treating smoking-related illnesses and are actively providing financial and non-financial support to those wishing to quit.The aim of this bachelor{\crq}s thesis was to determine how well-informed the population is as regards the options for treating nicotine addiction; also to map out the most common reasons that lead smokers to quit. In this work I have used the anonymous questionnaire technique to investigate this issue. A total of 100 people over the age of 15 were questioned. Hypothesis 1 assumes that the majority of the population knows about at least one way of treating nicotine addiction. Hypothesis 2 assumes that the majority of the population, if they smoke or if they were to smoke, would first seek expert advice from their GP. Hypothesis 3 assumes that the most important motive for stopping smoking is to save money.This work can be used as the basis for further bachelor{\crq}s or diploma theses on a similar topic, or to supplement courses at ZSF JU University in České Budějovice.

Public awareness of drug problems in České Budějovice district
KOZLOVÁ, Lucie
ABSTRACT Addictive drugs are all around us and they have become a part of our lives. The issue of drug abuse is of critical importance, global, and difficult to solve. Typically, drugs are categorized as tolerated or not tolerated by society, and more or less risky. It is vital, therefore, to know the attitude of public to the issue. Lots of drug abuse causes have already been revealed, just like the reasons why some users develop addiction while others do not. In all probability the abuse of drugs or the addiction development cannot be put down to a single background factor. Everything will depend on personality traits of the individual, on his or her environmental conditions, and on specific effects of the drug. Since I take much interest in these issues, I have chosen for my thesis the subject of Public awareness of drug abuse issues in the District of České Budějovice. I investigated what people knew about drug abuse at the District where I live; their opinions of drug abuse; whether they believed that drug abuse deteriorated social position of an individual; whether they believed it boosted the rate of crime; if people were informed about facilities assisting recovery from drug addiction within the District of České Budějovice; and, last but not least, whether they suspected what drugs could come in their way here. The thesis aimed to examine what people knew about the drug abuse issues in the České Budějovice District. This objective has been met. Fifty three percent of respondents were found well informed on the subject, while the remaining 47% lacked the information. The survey was to prove or disprove hypothesis that the public was unaware of organizations providing help to drug addicts - the hypothesis was not confirmed since 51% of respondents were informed about the relevant organizations and 49% were not. Another hypothesis predicted that the public could not tell the illegal drugs from the legal ones - it was not confirmed as the public was found sufficiently informed. The hypotheses expecting the public to believe that drug abuse drives crime and deteriorates the addict's social position were confirmed by the bulk of respondents living in the District of České Budějovice. Ninety nine percent of the respondents believed the drug abuse pushed up the crime rate and 95% were of the opinion that it affected the addict's social position. As follows from the survey, the public in the České Budějovice District was relatively well informed of the drug abuse issues, though the differences encountered between awareness and unawareness of the subject were just minor. I intend to release the thesis as an information source for the general public(in the form of brochures, internet publications or periodicals); moreover, I want to offer the results to organizations engaged in the drug abuse treatment and to students of the University of South Bohemia to serve as training material. The public will find a wealth of important drug-related information in the paper, while the addiction treating organizations will be prompted to fill the gaps still existing in information available to the general public.

Occurence of the Dependence on Mobile Telephone by the Children and the Youth at Elementary Schools
MALÍŘSKÁ, Lenka
This bachelor{\crq}s thesis aims to point out the possible risk of mobile phone addiction by children and the youth at primary schools. In the theoretical part a few basic terms are explained, e.g. habit, addiction or prevention. At the same time, I include a chapter about pathological phenomena in the society and afterwards I turn my attention specifically to the mobile phone, to which a substantial part of this thesis is devoted. On the one hand I inform about the past and present of the mobile phones and on the other hand I demonstrate the continually increasing number of customers of mobile operators in the Czech Republic. An anonymous questionnaire forms the content of the research part. The questionnaire was circulated among pupils of fourth, sixth and ninth class at three primary schools. Two of these primary schools are located in Písek and one in České Budějovice. According to my opinion, and irrespective of the fact that the communication of the respondents does not focus solely on mobile phones, it is possible to conclude from the resulting data that this generation, and the future one most of all, will not be able to live without mobile phones. Without them, as it is often said, people will not be able to make one single step. That is why in future the term mobile phone addiction could be used more than frequently.
