Sakin, Martin ; Korček, Pavol (referee) ; Viktorin, Jan (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the analysis, description and usage of sensor data from an intelligent home system. This term also describes the intelligent system BeeeOn, which provides a sensor data and the possibility of extending this system to automation tasks. This is followed by the analysis of all the measured physical quantities, their properties and their influence on humans. The results from the measured data were used to create a classifier based on deep neural networks to detect current events at home. Detected events can be used for the following automation system to help improve living conditions. At the end of this thesis are discussed the results and options to continue with this project.

Providing specialized palliative nursing care in the home environment
ZIMOLOVÁ, Linda
This bachelor's thesis is focused on specialized palliative nursing care and deals with providing palliative nursing care to patients at home environment. It focuses on the specifics of care and the needs of the patients, including the needs of their families. The goal of the research was to find out what the most common activities nurses conduct when providing palliative nursing care. Other goals of this work were to search for the possibilities of developing specialized palliative nursing care from the viewpoint of nurses and to find out what obstacles nurses encounter when providing specialized home palliative nursing care. Last but not least, this thesis shows the coordination of a multidisciplinary team providing specialized palliative care in the home environment. Methodology and research sample selection: To meet the goals, data were collected through a semi-structured interview with nurses who provide specialized palliative care in mobile hospices. The research group consisted of a total of eight nurses. Data were analyzed using an open coding, pencil-and-paper method. Data analysis resulted in 5 categories and 9 subcategories. Results: From the results of the research investigation, show that a nurse providing specialized palliative care in the home environment ensures the role of a nursing care provider, educator, manager and change agent. She is one of the most important multidisciplinary team members and also the main person between the doctor and the client. Furthermore, it was found that despite the great physical and psychological demands of this profession, none of the nurses subjectively felt signs of burnout. We found that despite the profession's many physical and psychological demands, no nurse experiences burnout syndrome. Nurses see the development of specialized palliative care in the amendment of legislation, education of society, especially in general practitioner offices, and in better cooperation with insurance companies. Results for practice: The results can serve as study material for students and female students of the Faculty of Health and Social Sciences of the University of South Bohemia, and the information can be useful in making decisions and choosing a career in home care.

Risks of Social Exclusion of Seniors Living in Home Enviroment
HŮLKOVÁ, Veronika
The bachelor thesis deals with the risks of social exclusion of seniors living in the home environment. The aim of the thesis is to find out the risks of social exclusion among seniors living separately and to identify reasons which lead seniors living in the home environment to the disuse of social services. This work is divided into two parts - the theoretical one and the empiric one. The theoretical part focuses on the definition of principal terms concerning the bachelor thesis. In the empirical part, there are stated two exploratory questions concerning the risks of social exclusion of seniors living in the home environment and the reasons which lead seniors living in the home environment to the disuse of social services. For obtaining the answers to the highlighted exploratory questions were used several methods, such as a qualitative investigative strategy, interviewing, and a technic of a semistructured interview. The investigative sample was formed by six informants, which were chosen in a combination of two methods of selection - the snowball method and quota sampling. Physical health, as one of the many risks, can lead to the social exclusion of seniors living in the home environment. The results further point to limited financial means, reduced self-sufficiency, and reduced social interactions. For example, low foreknowledge about social services, their negotiation and financial valuation, self-sufficiency, assurance of proceeding care and disposal of the sphere of close people can be seen as possible reasons that lead to the disuse of social services. The results may be beneficial for increasing awareness of the public about risks that lead to social exclusion. Further, they could serve as feedback to organisations providing social services to increase the foreknowledge about the services they provide.

Social Exclusion as a Determinant of Health in the Old age
BASTLOVÁ, Lucie
The aim of this bachelor's thesis was to find out in which areas (social relations, health status, civic amenities, financial situation, housing, etc.) seniors over the age of 65 who live in the home environment face social exclusion. In the theoretical part, I defined the basic concepts related to the topic of the bachelor's thesis, which I divided into three parts. In the first part, I dealt with the health factors of social exclusion. In the next part I dealt with the psychological factors of social exclusion and in the third part I dealt with the social factors of social exclusion. In the practical part, research questions concerning the causes of social exclusion in seniors over 65 years of age living at home and activities that lead to the elimination of social exclusion in seniors over 65 years of age living at home were set. A qualitative research strategy was chosen for the research, a method of questioning with the technique of semi-structured interview. The research group was selected using a technique called "Snowball" and consisted of seven seniors who lived in their own households in the district of Tábor. The research revealed a link between health status and social exclusion, due to an unfavorable health condition. The results of qualitative research will serve as information material for the elderly population, which is particularly affected, but also for social workers and the general public.
