Subjective opinion of people suffering from coeliac on availability of products for people with coeliac on the Czech market
NOVOTNÁ, Tereza
This bachelor thesis deals with subjective opinion of the people suffering from celiac disease on the availability of products for celiacs on Czech market. At the beginning, there were two main objectives. The first main objective was to explore whether the products available on the market in the Czech Republic cover the needs of celiac patients. The second objective was to explore whether the patients are satisfied with these products. The research questions were set as follows: "In which stores patients prefer to do their shopping?", "Are patients satisfied with the price of products compared to their quality?" and "How patients evaluate the sensory aspects of food?" The theoretical part of my thesis describes celiac disease with all its difficulties. It briefly describes the process of its recognition and its current occurrence in the Czech Republic and some foreign countries. It also describes the clinical picture and the types of forms of celiac disease at a patient, complex diagnostic procedures when there is a suspicion of this fatal disease, malnutrition risk, associated diseases and possible complications. Last but not least, it is concerned with the gluten-free diet, which is the only current treatment for celiac disease. Along with that, the thesis is dedicated to raw materials and food for celiacs: accessibility, large financial cost coverage of gluten-free diet, product labelling and legislation. In order to develop the research part, the method of qualitative research was chosen, specifically, a semi-structured interview. The interview contained thirteen questions, so as to achieve the objective of the thesis and so that the research questions given in advance were answered. The research sample included five celiac patients, both men and women in the age range of 18 to 49 years. Data were being collected from January 2013 to April 2013. The results of this work show that patients prefer to combine shopping in the so-called "healthy food stores" where the shop assistants have more knowledge on the issue and are able to help them to choose the most suitable products, and shopping in large stores and the "gluten-free" departments there. Respondents also claim that in supermarkets, the shop assistants are not able to help and often do not even know what the celiac disease is. All respondents also shop in their area of living, which proves the increasing availability of gluten-free products, which is sufficient to cover the common needs of celiac patients. The market situation in the Czech Republic in the last ten years has changed dramatically to the better and there is no specific food that respondents would completely miss in the stores. When shopping, the respondents look for specific, pre-tested products. On the contrary, patients are less inclined to on-line shopping. Another significant criterion for selecting gluten-free food is also its price. The financial demands of a gluten-free diet are a big problem, because gluten-free raw materials and food are from 4 to 10 times more expensive than the same commodity containing gluten. Patients are therefore often forced to break the rules of their diet, because they simply do not have the finances for the gluten-free products. Sensory aspect of gluten-free products is also not evaluated very positively by the patients. The problem is seen mainly in bakery products such as bread, rolls and buns. The structure of these products is not suitable, as it often crumbles and breaks, or, on the other hand, is sticky. They would also like to extend the range of pastries to avoid stereotypes in their diet. Another sensory aspect of bakery products-taste was not evaluated positively as well. However, they do not see the difference in warm food and mostly in home-made sweet pastries such as cakes or pies.

Romany paras versus hospitalization in hospitals
BABKOVÁ, Lucie
In my bachelor thesis I was engaged in Romany questions namely the problems of Romany women. My work is devided into two parts. The first part is theoretical and the second part encludes the research work. In the first part I dealt with Romany comunity from its history until present. I tried to refer to some hot themes such as the Romany family, education, living Romany attitude to their health, etc. In the end of the theoretical part I´ve briefly mentioned the transcultural nursing which should help us (meaning the medical staff) with our approach to the Romany ethnic group. I´ve made the research by the help of 29 closed question questionnaires. The questionnaires were given to 100 Romany women in South Bohemia. 70 filled in questionnaires were given back to me and this was the sample I worked with in my research of my bachelor thesis. The answeres in the questionnaires ought to confirm or to displace the set hypothesis. The fist hypothesis {--} the Romany women take the negative line to a longer hospitalization. The second hypothesis- the Romany women are leaving hospital before they were relased on the ground of outlasting conventional model of Romany family. On the basis of the answeres gained from the questionnaires it is possible to say that neither the first or the second of the set hypothesis in this work wasn´t acknowledged. The Romany women don´t have any negative attitude to the hospitalization not even to the medical staff. In case that they have some reservations to the hospitalization those are only reservations concerning to lack of something (TV, choise of meals, prohibition of smoking and others). The second hypothesis was disconfirmed by the fact that 60% of Romany women after childbirth left the hospital after they were released by the doctor. In case that the women left hospital even it was for a short therm only the medical staff was informed by them. The most frequent reason leading to leaving hospital was the anxiety of children who were left at home. This was in a close connection to the age and to the number of already birthed children. The elderly expectant mothers having more children left hospital more often without the awareness of the medical satff or on declaration written undertaking then the younger expectant mothers that got over less births and having less children at home. For denying of this second hypothesis it is possible to assume the weakening of the influence of conventional model of Romany family.

Klement Bochořák: personality and work
Hradová, Jana ; Med, Jaroslav (referee) ; Wiendl, Jan (advisor)
The wistful poet Klement Bochořák (1910-1981), who decided to struggle for a poetic expression full of reconciliation and gratitude despite his "bitter maturing", belongs to the generation of "Spring Poetic Almanac". This author mentally resonated with impulse s coming from literature (Čep, Halas, Zahradníček, Mácha, Erben) and also from other inspiring areas (music, visual arts, folklore). He is usually considered to be one of catholic writers, a meditative lyricist of spiritual nature. The form of his work evokes concepts of Franciscan humility, tenderness, compassion, idealization, reflections of traditional folk Catholicism, and also the importance of connection with the specific region, i.e. the area surrounding Kunštát in Czech-Moravian Highlands. The said region forms a horizon of his poetic expression; it constitutes a literary space of homeland, the desired place, paradise on Earth. Bochořák inc1ines to an archetype of pilgrim; in the Čep's line he represents the poetry of dual home, being a poet of matutinal vision. In this work I focus (with respect to biographical details) on the introduction of Bochořák's literary work in its complexity, which encompasses not only his poetry, but also short prose, books for children, editorial work and translations (marginally). I shortly interpret these texts...

The protocol of sexuality in chosen organizations of social services in Southern region.
TALICH, Jan
Sexuality protocol regulates rights and obligations of social services providers, their employees and users. The aim of the diploma thesis was to confirm or disprove an existence of sexuality protocols or documents with an identical meaning in chosen social service facilities in the South Bohemian Region, to analyze found documents and to realize interviews with selected social workers. The diploma thesis contains a theoretical and research parts. In the theoretical part the author deals with a definition of a human sexuality, sexual norms and functions, as well as a person with a disability in terms of his rights for the sexuality, characteristics of their development and ultimately social services in the context of a fulfilment of human rights of the person with a disability to experience his sexuality. The research of the diploma thesis consisted of a preliminary research and the research itself. The preliminary research was realized as a public inquiry investigation. The researched was designed with a regard to the infrequent and unexplored topic, a qualitative form with an application of methods of content analysis of documents and interviews, more precisely using a technique of depth semi-structured interviews. Based on the performed research 4 sexuality protocols or documents of the identical meaning were analyzed in the target group of the social services providers. The analysis showed a diverse representation of coherent themes in the found protocols in comparison with a model sexuality protocol, which has been described in the professional literature. Further the author shows considerable differences in an internal structure of the coherent themes in the documents themselves which leads to a distorted reporting, particularly in a field of the parenthood for people with mental and multiple disabilities. Based on the analysis of the model document, the author proposes a fixed structure of the various protocol topics for an objective and balanced form of the protocols. The experience of the social workers with the sexuality protocol can be summarized in three basic lines: an indispensable cooperation of the management and direct care workers in developing the sexuality protocol, a sense of the securing in the work with a sexuality of the users as a benefit of the protocol for the employees and a change of an approach to the users in terms the organization and employees.

The strategic importance of Serbia to the European Union
Janković, Vukica ; Vošta, Milan (advisor) ; Karpová, Eva (referee) ; Němcová, Ingeborg (referee) ; Kazanský, Rastislav (referee)
Doctoral dissertation presents an analysis of the Serbian economy in the mutual relations between the European Union (EU) and the Western Balkans. The assumption that the EU and Serbia, as an integral part of the Balkan region, have interests in the partnership and cooperation is the baseline of the research. The following aspects have been singled out, by method of ranking, which is based on achieving the highest turnover in the last six years: trade, foreign direct investment and energy. Gravity model was used to analyze routes of trade and energy. A models of trade import and export between Serbia and the EU 28 member countries and the countries of the Western Balkans, as well as models of imports and exports of energy between Serbia and the EU 28 member countries and the countries of the Western Balkans, were used in order to assess the potential of trade and energy trade. Method of trend line and trend extrapolation of foreign direct investment (FDI) was used in order to determine the degree of the presence of FDI in Serbia and their predictions, which could be an indicator of investment climate in Serbia. The conclusion is that Serbia has strategic importance as a candidate for membership in the EU because of its regional importance. Entering the Western Balkan countries in the EU should not happen without Serbia, because Serbia has a regional importance, which arise from the economic, historical, cultural, infrastructural and geopolitical links with countries in the region, of which some are already members of the EU.
