Saňková, Klára ; Pstružina, Karel (advisor) ; Toman, Prokop (referee)
Existence of Facebook is based on software. For this reason it is commonly considered and treated as a virtual only space. But this well known phenomenon influences lives of many people and this impact on daily life cannot be overlooked. This thesis is about balancing on that fine line between real and virtual space and about questions that this brings. It gathers together different definitions of those terms and shows what most of Facebook functionality bring to this matter.

A university educated nurse at the nursing unit - expectations and reality
LESZKOWOVÁ, Dana
Each era has its requirements for the level of education and training system for nursing staff. A person who wants to succeed in his/her profession needs appropriate knowledge, skills and education. The requirements for education are determined by technical possibilities and political arrangement of the society. In the past nurses got along on herbs and knowledge passed from one generation to another. The present time is an era of computers and enormous technical progress. Along with unbelievable developments in technology also the content of the nursing profession has changed. The nursing profession is now becoming a full-fledged and independent scientific discipline. This progress is increasing the requirements for education of healthcare personnel. It requires professionals with university education. The objective of the bachelor thesis has been to identify the expectations of nurses while studying at a university and the reality after they start working at the nursing unit. Six research questions were formulated in the thesis. The thesis used a qualitative method of research. The data were collected by means of semi-structured interviews. The interviews consisted of 25 basic questions, while some questions were complemented with additional questions. The interviews were recorded in a written form and subsequently processed. The interviews were processed into case studies. The most important results of the research have been processed into categorization tables. The research group consisted of 10 respondents who worked in different types of healthcare facilities in Prachatice, České Budějovice and in Prague. The research indicates that most of the nurses have used in practice the new knowledge acquired in the course of their studies. The results of the thesis may serve as an incentive for further quantitative research.

Anticipating versus reality of work of nurses in cardiosurgery department
BÁRTOVÁ, Marie
In my bachelor paper I dealt with expectation of nurses before their entry in practice and confrontation with the reality of work at hospital units. Expectation plays an important part in coping with the nursing occupation. There are many factors that can influence it both in a positive and negative way. The fast pace in current medical establishments requires that a nurse should assess, predict and evaluate the state of patients and that she should react to it within several minutes so that the care for the ill is most efficient and coordinated. Such a task is difficult for every-one but for a nurse disappointed by the health system it is an impossible task. Therefore it is important that there is a correspondence between expectations and the final reality of work.

Klouček, Viktor ; Rosický, Antonín (advisor) ; Sigmund, Tomáš (referee)
This final paper is centered on influence of the internet in forming of social reality. Main factor in creation of social reality is element of socialization, say communication. The aim of this paper is online communication and socialization developed through chats, discussion groups, blogs, forums summarized by one term -- social networks, which gained very strong position among communication applications available on the internet. I have tried to find out how online communication influence people and how close one can get in creation of social reality in virtual settings in correlation with other members of such settings. Technology of today creates new forms of communication and new ways and connections among members of online communication groups, which differ from the real ones. Distance is no longer an issue and it is completely natural to interact, thus influence somebody and be influence by somebody, from a different geographical, social, economical or political settings. All of these factors directly influence construct of social reality of those who communicate. Study was conducted as a survey. Questionnaire was sent to two hundred people and 107 returned back. More than half of 107 respondents don't know each other, come from various social classes and different areas of Czech Republic. Range of age of respondents is 15-63 years. All of them were given questions aiming at the reality of virtual communication, virtual friendship and bonds between online members. Other questions aim at the authenticity of information and partially influence of commercials in process of decision making. My contribution to this work was mainly creation of questioner, analysis of answers towards conclusions about the influence of online communication on perception and forming of social reality. Analysis that aimed at respondents spending most of their time online brought interesting conclusions in comparison with other groups, which didn't spent as much time online. The paper begins with theoretical summary of reality, its construction, online applications and scientific papers which include their positive and negative impacts. Following there is study introducing respondents, basic questions, hypothesis and then interpretation of answers with previous studies taken in account. Outcome of this work concludes main aspects of interpretations and draw basic view of the future. The questionnaire and more detailed answers about time spent online are in the appendix.
