The possibilities of physiotherapy treating children with evolutionary hip joints disorders
PEŠTUKOVÁ, Lucie
This bachelor thesis deals with the possibilities of physiotherapy treating children with evolutionary hip joint disorders. The theoretical part describes general background related to the issue. The content of the theoretical part brings a summary of findings related to the anatomic-physiologic relation of the hip joint, describes diagnostics and treatment of children affected by hip dysplasia and summarizes knowledge based on motor development of a child in relation to hip joints. Development Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) belongs to the most frequent disorders of infant locomotor system and brings numerous morphological deviations that might include simple instability, subluxated or luxated femoral head or other serious pathologies. Therapy choice is then different, depending on the character of diagnosed deformities, and influences individual growth during development. Numerous factors contribute to DDH occurrence, originally the genetic factor used to be considered the main factor, new researches however mention influence of mechanic factors in prenatal live (e.g. foetus position during birth) as well as in postnatal live (e.g. forced deflection of legs immediately after birth or tight wrapping of an infant in swaddling clothes) and of higher hip capsular laxity. DDH treatment has undergone lots of changes during development. The Czech Republic is one of few states paying special attention to early detection and therapy. Research into the issue is linked to great figures like Zahradníček, Frejka, Pavlík and many more. Screening tests already start at maternity wards and continue to the following weeks of life in our conditions. Deviations are detected through clinical examinations performed by a paediatric orthopaedist and are based on images taken by various imaging methods. Therapy possibilities differ according to the joint damage character. Less serious hip joint deformities are treated by conservative methods including treatment with abduction aids including e.g. Frejka Pillow, Pavlík Stirrups and others. Surgery interventions and hospitalization have to be applied to more serious cases. DDH treatment is relatively successful nowadays and starts immediately after pathology detection. Nevertheless there are mixed opinions on treatment requirements among specialists. A lot of orthopaedists are satisfied with conservative treatment immediately after detection. Influence of this kind of therapy has its justification and its irreplaceable importance backed by numerous studies. Today?s physiotherapy tends to offer children with diagnosed DDH supportive rehabilitation methods that might enrich conservative treatment set by an orthopaedist. Cooperation with physiotherapists after successful treatment of children with DDH not only after surgical operations, but also after conservative treatment application is also developing. Children are often left to their own development after removal of abduction aids, which may be dangerous for future interplay of muscles (not activated before) after a long period of movement restriction. Qualitative research method in the form of elaborated case study of one patient with diagnosed DDH was chosen for the practical part. The thesis includes an introductory as well as final kinesiological analysis, description of the therapy course, the evaluation itself, communication with the mother and the physiotherapist in charge of the rehabilitation. The aim of the thesis was to point out the inseparable role of physiotherapy in treatment of children with DDH, to propose possible rehabilitation techniques for DDH treatment and to outline the way how Vojta method affects congenital hip joint disorders.

Řehořová, Zuzana ; Janský, Petr (advisor) ; Todica, Doina (referee)
The aim of this work is to evaluate and compare the Czech Republic approach to developing countries. The evaluation is mainly based on Commitment to Development Index. Commitment to Development Index assesses 22 OECD DAC member countries on their overall approach to developing countries. It is published annually by the Center for Global Development. I computed and partly estimated the index for the Czech Republic and consequently compared and commented the results. The Czech Republic score is slightly below those of all EU member countries included in the index finally ending up at 20th place out of 23 countries. The Czech Republic scores well in environment and trade component and badly in trade. I also made some comments on the design of the index.

Environmental Justice - links between air pollution and selected social characteristics of the czech population
Linhartová, Martina ; Braniš, Martin (advisor) ; Kryl, Martin (referee)
The present bachelor thesis deals with socioenvironmental problems. The first part involves review of literature, the second part is devoted to a pilot study covering the territory of the Czech Republic. Many studies pointed out uneven distribution of pollution among minorities, people with lower education and other socially disadvantaged individuals. The lower the social status, the worse the air quality and the higher risk of the threat from exposure to airborne pollutants. We analyzed association between various air quality factors and indicators of socio-economic status of the population from Czech cities. Our results correspond to those obtained from USA, Germany, New Zealand etc.: pollutants to which people are exposed to vary by level of social status. People with lower degree of education have to bear higher concentration of SO2 and PM10 - higher concentrations of combustion by- products. Contrary to that, people with higher degree of education and higher income are more likely exposed to pollutants from transport (namely NO2). Key words: environmental justice, air quality, Czech Republic

The theory of optimal currency areas: regional aspects
Ubry, Michael ; Šíma, Ondřej (advisor) ; Pour, Jiří (referee)
This bachelor thesis is concerned with the theory of optimal currency areas which was used to analyse regions in Czech Republic. This analysis is based on three criteria: mobility of production factors, economic openness and diversification of production. The main goal of this thesis was to find out whether there are regions of the Czech Republic which are prepared for monetary integration concerning the acceptance of the euro and whether they can create an optimal currency area with other regions. Results of analysis show that Czech Republic is not an optimal currency area. However, it is still beneficial to have one single currency in this territory because of the lower transaction costs and sovereignty of a country. Assuming only economic and theoretical view, existence of regional currencies would bring more costs than benefits for certain regions. Results of thesis also indicate that not every single region will be an appropriate candidate for joining Eurozone.

Rights of Immigrants
SOUKUPOVÁ, Eva
The Czech Republic encounters problems of immigration after 1989. At present time there are about 2.5% of foreigners in the Czech Republic. This percentage is amongst the lowest within EU, however the predictions for the future are that the number is going to constantly increase. People come to the Czech Republic seeking better conditions for living and want to start a new life here. Therefore part of the government policy should be securing immigrants with equal access and equal opportunities in the labour market, in relation to health as well as social care. A quantitative research in the form of a questionnaire technique was selected in the practical part. Anonymous questionnaires for immigrants and public were used. The research aimed at immigrants was conducted in institutions engaged in helping aliens in Brno, České Budějovice, Hradec Králové, Plzeň and Prague. Total of 120 questionnaires were sent out. The questionnaire's returnability was 49%. The research set was therefore formed by 59 respondents. Research aimed at public was conducted in České Budějovice, Jindřichův Hradec and in Třeboň. Total of 110 questionnaires were handed out and their returnability was 100%. All questionnaires were evaluated and elaborated into percentage figures. Two goals are set in the thesis. To each of the goals two hypotheses were set. Goal 1: Find out the level of immigrants' knowledge about labour law and related regulations to it {--} health insurance, welfare. Hypothesis No. 1: More than half of the questioned immigrants know their rights. Hypothesis No. 2: More than half of the questioned immigrants know to whom they may turn to in case of problem solving. After questionnaire evaluation the first hypothesis was not confirmed and the second hypothesis was confirmed. Goal 2: Find out the level of public awareness of the law status of aliens living in the area of the Czech Republic. Hypothesis No. 1: More than half of the questioned respondents do not know the alien rights living in the area of the Czech Republic. Hypothesis No. 2: More than half of the questioned respondents know the organizations providing support for aliens living in the area of the Czech Republic. After evaluation of the questionnaire the first hypothesis was not confirmed and the second was confirmed.
