Automation in imunohematology
DOMINOVÁ, Alena
Nowadays automation in immunohematologic testing is becoming part of routine methods used in transfusion laboratories.It also has got considerable importance for pretransfusion testing of patients and for immunohematologic testing of blood donors.Immunohematology was the last among all medical laboratories into which automation was introduced.The use of robust techniques made it possible.These techniques are column agglutination carried out on gel or on glass microballs and solid phase technique.The latest method is Erytrocytes Magnetizer technology and it is not so widespread yet.The aim of this thesis is practical performance of immunohematologic methods blood group,antibody screening.Tube testing,testing on microtiter plates and using column agglutination.Manual performance was compared with Qasar and Techno analyzers.Other aims were quantitative description of reagent saving,human labor force and to assess other effects which are more sensitive methods,greater safety and exclusion of possible mistake during the automated testing process.The theoretical part deals with particular tests and their possible performance techniques.Automation contributes to minimize possible risks.Automation reduces process steps,the need for worker intervention and exponentially decreases the number of potential mistakes.Introduction of automation also helps to standardize procedures and reagents to increase reliability,result interpretation and results of the tested process.On top of that automation is useful for generation of reliable results,their objective interpretation,better documentation,monitoring and traceability and labour force saving.It brings security not only to patients but also to medical workers.Inseparable necessities are space conditions and device service.The practical part of this thesis was performed in the Blood Bank Department of Hospital České Budějovice.Samples examined in this thesis included 24patient samples,24blood donor samples and 2samples for inner quality control.In all 50samples blood group was tested manually in test tubes and on microtiter plates.Antigen screening was tested in test tubes,on microtiter plates and using column agglutination.Patient samples were analysed using Techno analyser and blood donor samples were analysed using semiautomatic machine Qasar.10slightly positive screenings of patient antigens(previously tested using Techno analyser)and 10positive screenings of blood donor antigens(previously tested using semiautomatic machine Qasar)were manually tested again in test tubes and on microtiter plates during 2013.It was found out that both manual and automatic testing give same results.Only in manual testing of antibody screening in test tube the reaction in both positive testing Basic QC,was a bit smaller which is caused by lower sensitivity of the test tube method.In antibody screening the quantitative saving of reagents in column agglutination is bigger when tested both manually and with the use of both analysers than when tested in test tube.Concerning the difficulty,longwindedness and especially lower sensitivity of tube testing,the decision not to use this method was a correct choice.This comparison confirms assessments described above and also the correctness of decision to use column agglutination for antibody screening tests.Different time consumption of testing of particular samples gave possibility for simple quantitative calculation of human labour force saving.It gave clear result saving of 2human labour forces thanks to each analyser.Individual steps during testing are shown in table and the chance of bringing the possibility of a mistake.Manual testing includes possibility of making a mistake in all mentioned critical moments of testing.Automatized only once using semiautomatic machine Qasar,where there is a possibility of mistaken exchange during preparation of reagents.Reagents do not have bar codes.Techno analyser succeeded in all critical steps without a mistake.

Design for heating system and domestic water heating in a family house
PETROVIČ, Jakub
Based on the requirements of the project, the work deals with the design of the heating system in the model low-energy family house by the help of heat pump (air / water) and solar collectors, which will be a supporting element for the heat pump. As a bivalent heat source will be used electric patrons. The design incorporates a measurement and control of heating and hot water. Everything with the help of the freely programmable control UVR 1611and suitably selected control elements. The final section is devoted to the estimation of purchase costs, operating costs and return on whole investment

Processing and utilizing of customer data
Bartelová, Jana ; Kunstová, Renáta (advisor) ; Sládková, Pavlína (referee)
The topic of this master dissertation is data mining of customer data for marketing purposes within an enterprise. The information resulting from this process is then used to create targeted marketing campaigns. Nowadays, identifying and exploiting customer's needs is vital for any enterprise. With that in mind, the theoretical part of this dissertation is focused primarily on different methods of data analysis such as segmentation, profiling, customer scoring and determining customer value. A significant segment of this part focuses on web analysis, which studies customer's web browsing behaviour. The practical part of this dissertation is based on a case study of a specific e-shop. The case study identifies and solves problems of emailing realization. Solving these problems using Silverpop Engage brings new opportunities for emailing. The main goal of this dissertation is to show new opportunities of utilizing behavioural data for e-mailing campaigns execution.

Design and implementation of modules for teaching and developing applications with microcontroller Atmel AVR
LANGMAJER, Miroslav
This thesis is based on the design and production of teaching kits with expansion modules which are based on the Atmel AVR microcontroller. Kit consists of a plate containing processes and basic power modules directly on the board and expansion modules "SIMAČ". "SIMAČ" modules are virtual elements that simulate the real elements and they are commonly used in industrial automation. Because of their cost they are integrated in extension kit as programmable modules. It also contains basic theoretical information about working with ATMEL AVR microcontrollers. Expansion modules with module development board and disc which will be loaded all the schemes, programs and technical documentation for individual districts will be attached to the thesis.

Automation of processes in a healthcare facility
Daněk, Michal ; Kunstová, Renáta (advisor) ; Vlček, Dušan (referee)
The diploma thesis is focused on support of business processes by information technologies. The main objective of this thesis is to implement the automation of selected business process in a private healthcare facility using available open source tools. The introductory part deals with the description of the theoretical basis of Business Process Management (BPM) and characterizes the current situation in this area. The following part is devoted to software instruments supporting the BPM, known as Business Process Management Systems (BPMS). The thesis's main part provides at first the analysis of the current situation of IS/ICT in the healthcare facility, on the basis of which the requirements for new automated processes are defined. Further follows the description of a proposal of selected processes, their models and subsequent implementation in the environment of the healthcare facility.

Integration of an Automatic Indexing System within the Document Flow of a Grey Literature Repository
Mynarz, Jindrich ; Škuta, Ctibor
The Web empowered the authors of grey literature to publish their work on their own. In case of self-published works their author is also their indexer. And because not many of the grey literature authors are professional indexers, this may result in poor or no indexing. Even though the Web made publishing easier, indexing is still hard. Nevertheless, we believe that the web technologies and machine learning algorithms may help to reduce the cognitive overhead involved in indexing, and make it eventually as easy as publishing on the Web is.
