Palliative care is provided by patient's family at home
KUČEROVÁ, Tereza
The thesis, titled Palliative Care Provided by Patient's Family in Home Environment, discusses the specific care needs of a terminally ill patient in his/her own home. Caring for an ill person in a home environment is beginning to be a growing trend in home care, but also it is an increasingly common wish of the patients themselves. The family is therefore required to have enough theory and practical knowledge in order to deliver a highly demanding personal care for their close family members. The aim of the thesis is to summarize the current situation of delivering palliative care in home environment in Czech Republic whilst concentrating on the specific needs of the patient and the needs of their family. The objectives of the research were to determine whether family members were introduces to the specifics of palliative care of terminally ill patients; to map their skills in delivering palliative care in home environment and to reveal the most common issues that family members come across in that home environment. The final objective was to map out services in regions of Central Bohemia and Liberec that are accessible to family members whilst caring for a terminally ill patient. The research part of the thesis was completed employing a method of qualitative investigation using semi-structured interviews with patient's family members and nurses providing hospice care in home environment. It emerged from the analytical interviews that the family's knowledge level regarding support for palliative care in home environment is very limited and in hospitals families are only given minimal or no support or information. As a final document for the thesis an informative educational brochure was created based on the results of aforementioned research, primarily targeting patient's family; its core objective is to improve information and collate the specifics of care that would allow the patient a dignified end to their life.

Dobrovičová, Iveta ; Kučerová, Eva (advisor) ; Kateřina, Kateřina (referee)
Summary
The thesis is dedicated to solving the problem of homelessness, from the vantage point of synergy of social policy tools, mainly the housing policy. The author s aim has been to find out what methods are adopted to prevent and solve homelessness in Prague, whether the steps taken by the state or other subjects active in the capital provide help to the group of the socially excluded individuals in the process of their reintegration into the society of people with homes.
The theoretical part deals with the crisis of the welfare state concept, based on solidarity of the wealthier classes with the socially deprived groups. After examining expert sources, the accent is put on definition of social policy participants on the part of the state and other subjects that are instrumental in integration of persons temporarily or permanently excluded from the consumption of the fundamental social value,housing. Last but not least, this work defines the phenomenon of homelessness in its key aspects: in the history of its emergence and causes, its perception by the public, typology of homeless persons, and in the problem with a qualified estimate of the number of the affected.
The practical part is dedicated to a closer examination of the social exclusion of inhabitants in the interaction with the responsible persons from the ranks of social workers, curators, housing authority clerks, providing expert help to the socially deprived groups among Prague inhabitants. This research, done in the form of interviews, is completed by a questionnaire survey carried out directly with the people concerned the homeless. The contribution of this work consists in this combination of both perspectives, the basis of which is knowledge of the homeless environment, acquired via the author s voluntary work for a lowthreshold treatment program center Naděje in Prague.

Fee of the real street is very essential for the further development of the area. The design responds to the local environment. Most of the courtyards is dysfunctional in terms of human and aesthetic. The design creates a separate world - paradise - inside the block.

Veselý, Josef ; Wahla, Ivan (referee) ; Nový, Vítězslav (advisor)
Problems arising in the town house near the city center is largely determined by context and situation. The house is not possible to propose no relation to surrounding Material, shape, urban, typology context. Context, therefore, may seem to be anything problematic, but a proper understanding of context and unloading only leads to the correct destination. The house should have all these connections encoded in nature.

Self-Sufficient Home for 9000 Inhabitants
Valový, Přemysl ; Rudiš, Viktor (referee) ; Mléčka, Jan (advisor)
The objective of this diploma project is to propose a new self-sufficient city for 9000 inhabitants. The city as a phenomenon accompanying mankind for centuries has become an integral part of a physical and cultural heritage of our civilization. Accumulation of its population, ideas and material possessions always led to the remarkable act of creativity and efforts, that was always pushing mankind further. Nowadays cities are faced with a myriad of crises, both economic and social. However we shouldn't forget, with a view to the future, the impending ecological crisis. The rapid growth of the past is followed by a gradual decay in the current age. Moreover, in today's globalized society, the town becomes materially totally dependent on its surroundings. It drains resources from less developed land to feed its inhabitants. We can hardly predict consequences that would arise if these resources were cut off. With the precipitous pace of urban growth and migration of the world's population into densely urbanized areas* arise to us a question, if in these non-urban (agricultural) areas will be still somebody, who will nourish these future metropolis? * (since 2010, more than a half of the world population lives in cities) The aim to create a new self-sufficient city isn't a kind of compensation for contemporary cities, but an attempt to create a working model that would be generally applicable on a present towns. It should hint the way, which they could take to achieve self-sufficiency, less dependence on imports, functional community life reinforcing a higher unity and sophisticated environmental legacy for future generations. The goal of these efforts is not a "moving the population into this model city", but the movement of ideas from model town into existing cities.

Then there are described three existential movements, which Jan Patočka educes from the care of the soul and its three aspects. In another part is firstly implied relation between the care of the soul and philosophy, and then the original theme and herewith the aim of these two activities. The last part is an attempt to show how it can happen, that we are talking about ?succour from philosophy?, then how to use the care of the soul for we could see the world as our home and what the consequences will be there, when we don't care of the soul and instead we paying attention only to the exact knowledge of modern science.

Vertical motives of landscape
HORYNOVÁ, Alžběta
This final work is practically oriented. It consists of painting series of eight landscapes with vertical themes. These are large format oil paintings. In the theoretical part I deal with the current perception of the relationship between man and land, which is based on the current concepts of landscape-painting. The examples of contemporary Czech landscape show some topics that have appeared in the last forty years. For example it is a landscape as a specific interface and abstract paintings, a landscape inside us, a landscape of our civilization. The thesis also discusses vertical motif, which marks the space between the two main elements of the landscape ? the sky and land, which is a fundamental area of human existence.

The psychotherapeutic potential of ergotherapy in the boarding houses with handicapped
HAUERLANDOVÁ, Milena
Homes for young adults with disabilities provide services to clients with various degrees of mental illness, frequently with physical impairment as well. In respect of age, children and young adults represent the largest part of users of housing services. The facilities try to offer services which ensure fulfilment of basic life needs, they provide substitution of home, leisure time activities and systematic personal development which is aimed at integration into everyday life in society not only by means of training to self-reliance. Occupational therapy (also known as Ergotherapy) and psychosocial rehabilitation represent significant components in the activities. In many facilities the problem is expertise of providers of the occupational therapy activities. Considering that the research is undertaken as exploratory, only working, general areas of research work resulting from research objectives are set, not individual hypotheses. Data were gathered by the questionnaire method. The participants of the research were staff members of selected Homes for people with disabilities situated in Uherský Brod, in Velehrad, in Javorník and in facilities of Archdiocesan charity in Prague. Criteria for selection of respondents was in this case social services worker and worker involved in the direct care for the client. The objectives of the thesis were accomplished. Although specific facilities provide clients with sufficient quantity of occupational therapy activities, from the perspective of the individual-client this effort is restricted by the lack of skilled and professional attitude and insufficient knowledge of the staff and to a certain extent also by facility that provides occupational therapy. Occupational therapy diagnostics in the Homes is applied on minimal level, based especially in long-term clients on original examination of their remaining functional potential. Regardless of possible positive changes in the client it does not offer further forms and methods of development, only preserving the present condition. To improve the current situation, it would be useful to carry out a detailed personnel research in all resident facilities for people with disabilities. If the results were similar to the results on my research, it would be advisable to hire an occupational therapist and to bring to effect legislative adjustment in standards of facilities and thereby prevent mistakes in providing the service.
