Mental hygiene serves to maintain mental health and is the basis for prevention of the burnout syndrome.

Intensity of nursing work on the oncological department.
TŮMOVÁ, Lucie
This Bachelor thesis deals with working demands of nurses employed in oncology departments. Because of being in continuous contact with people (patients, their families or colleagues) nurses working in these departments should be empathetic, kind, patient and helpful. The theoretical part of this thesis focuses on general characteristics of oncological departments, description of nursing specifics, available oncological treatment, the role of nurses in palliative treatment and issues of burnout syndrom. The theoretical part presents the results of semi-structured interviews conducted with nurses working in oncology departments at "Ceské Budějovice Hospital" and "Na Bulovce Hospital". Based on the dialaogues were the case reports which later became the basis for category tables. The results show that nurses perceive their work as difficult, mostly from the psychological aspect. The oncology nurses have to face terminally ill people, dying and death on a daily basis. They are exposed to risks of cytostatic agents. They may often suffer from tiredness which can lead to disruption of social, physical and psychical wellfare and even to the burnout. Influenced by these factors the nurses often feel stressed and are not often familiar with how this stress can be prevented or tackled. A brochure based on the obtained information has therefore been compiled for nurses with the aim to inform them about these issues.

The growth of large crabgrass (Digitaria sanguinalis (L.) SCOP). biomass in salt contaminate soil - a greenhouse experiment
Nováková, Markéta ; Gajdová, Iveta ; Šerá, Božena
Large crabgrass (Digitaria sanguinalis (L.) SCOP.) is not registered on the list of Ellenbergs halophytic plant species. Despite it is a frequent species commonly growing along the roads on salt contaminated soils. The tests in the greenhouse were focused on finding the values of salinity in which Large crabgrass may produce biomass. Standard soil substrate contaminated by salt NaCl in the range from 0.12 % to 1.96 % was used. Tests have shown successful growth of underground and aboveground biomasses of tested plants in soil contaminated by lower concentrations of salt. Some plants despite the loss of biomass at higher concentrations were able to create generative organs with seeds. It was documented that Large crabgrass is a facultative halophyte.

Effect of various plasma sources on seed growth. Laboratory experimen in Buckwheat
Šerá, Božena ; Gajdová, Iveta ; Čermák, M. ; Gavril, B. ; Hnatiuc, E. ; Kováčik, D. ; Kříha, V. ; Sláma, J. ; Šerý, M. ; Špatenka, P.
Germination and early growth of buckwheat (Fagopyrum aesculentum) after low-temperature plasma discharge treatment in air gas generated in various apparatus were tested. Three pretreatment times were used: 180 s, 300 s and 600 s. Number of germinating achene, length and weight of sprouts were measured. The data was analysed with two-way ANOVA. A significant influence of the type of plasma apparatus, time of exposure and combination of both factors were found. The positive effect on germination and early growth was observed after application of GlidArc plasma. The opposite effect of PDBV apparatus, which is characterized by plasma with a high power density, was observed. Shorter pre-treatment times for this apparatus must be therefore used.

Reasons of consumption of narcotic drugs at medical high schools
CANDROVÁ, Eliška
Taking drugs is not a problem only in the Czech Republic, but it is a worldwide issue. This conduct leads to the disruption of health and life values of an individual and the whole society. Taking drugs affects biological, psychological and social spheres not only at the time when an adolescent leads a risky way of life, but also in the future, when he/she must bear the consequences of his/her behavior. According to prominent authors dealing with the issue of the use of narcotic and psychotropic substances one of the stated reasons is neuro-psychological stress. This type of stress is more evident in students of secondary nursing schools than in other helping professions. The study includes a theoretical section, in which adolescence is characterized, the factors leading to addiction and the most common reasons for taking drugs are described. Individual narcotic and psychotropic substances are characterized in detail and statistical evaluation of their use is given. Stress and stress situations and their impact on drug use are discussed. Mental hygiene and relaxation are also included. In the practical part the objectives are set, the course of my own research and also discussions with the authors from which I drew information are described. Data were collected by means of quantitative research. The method of questioning, the anonymous questionnaire technique was used. On that basis the predetermined hypotheses were verified or falsified. Students were interviewed in the school in the presence of administrators, with exclusion of teachers and others with a similar authority who could affect the validity of collected data. The research objective was to survey the use of addictive drug in secondary nursing schools. Specifically, what narcotic drugs the students use, with what frequency, in what manner and what are the reasons for doing so. The research shows that students of secondary nursing schools are mostly stressed psychologically. These students drink more alcohol, use more tobacco products and drugs than other students. The results of the study can be used in practice, for the purposes of additional research and awareness for the professional and general public.
