KEHAROVÁ, Gabriela
The topic of the thesis is: "Physiotherapy as a Part of Complex Therapy of Women Treated for Alcoholism." Tens of thousands of people, namely 25 % of men and 10 % of women suffer from alcohol addiction in the Czech Republic. The first part of the Bachelor Thesis characterizes general attributes of addiction and alcoholism as such. The main part of the work and the research are focused on women?s alcoholism. The research was performed in cooperation with 5 patients treated for alcohol addiction in the Psychiatric Clinic Červený Dvůr. The tested group of patients was monitored for less than 3 months. The aim of the work was to monitor the influence of therapeutic physical training on physical and mental health of women abstaining from alcohol. Three research questions were asked: Will the overall fitness of abstaining women improve after taking twenty training units? Will the women feel better after the training? Will regular exercise influence the sleep regime of the abstaining women? The exercises were focused on improvement of condition and balance, relaxation exercises. Semi-structured interview with the women and monitoring were involved to examine the effect. The data were processed by means of qualitative content analysis. Improvement of fitness depending on the number of the undertaken exercise units was seen in all the patients. The balance abilities, which also more or less improved, relate to the fitness. The results of the questionnaires filled in by the patients during the research to examine the effect of the exercises on sleep showed that the exercises within the research had no influence on the sleep regime. All the patients were instructed in home exercising followed by kinesiotherapy. A control group of five women treated from alcohol addiction not participating in the exercises was chosen for examination of the exercise effect. Upon positive replies to the first two research questions, and comparison of the values measured in the research group and those measured in the control group the positive influence of therapeutic physical training on physical and mental health of women abstaining from alcohol may be confirmed. This work will serve as an input for consideration of permanent integration of physiotherapy in complex therapy of women treated for alcoholism.

Comparison of Alcohol Policies in Norway and Sweden
Genserová, Jitka ; Běláčková, Vendula (advisor) ; Chalupníček, Pavel (referee)
Alcohol policy in Scandinavia has a long tradition going back to the 16th century. This paper compares historical development of alcohol regulation in Norway and Sweden and describes recent changes in alcohol control policies that happened after the involvement of both countries in the European integration. The aim of this thesis is to determine, in which of the above mentioned countries alcohol policy is stricter and more effective. Measures regulating the physical availability of alcohol are compared, as well as the taxation of alcohol, which is the most important part of the alcohol policy. The impact of restrictive measures on alcohol consumption and alcohol-related harm is also discussed. Norway did not join the European Union and could keep quotas for traveler's import of alcohol. That's why Norway managed to avoid a significant increase in total alcohol consumption, which occurred in Sweden after the abolition of import quotas in 2004. For this reason Norwegian alcohol policy seems to be stricter and more effective than the Swedish one.
