Visual abilities of horses in terms of differentiation of individual colors
HOLINKOVÁ, Petra
The bachelor thesis deals with the visual abilities of horses in terms of differentiation of the individual colors. The experiment was involved in 10 horses of various ages, breeds and different stable. The experiment was done on efficient the Faculty of agriculture University of South Bohemia in Čtyři Dvory with five horses and a private farm in Hlincová Hora also with five horses. Were tested the ability of horses to differentiation between red, blue, green and yellow colour. The research was evaluated: the direction of the movement of horses in search of colors, the success in finding the right colors, the relationship between the colors and the time to find the right colors, the relationship between the colors and the number of attempts to find the right colors, the success of the search for individual colors. Very well horse reacted to a yellow color, which found 50% of the horses behind him three times on the first attempt. The red and green color found only 10% of the horses behind him three times on the first attempt. The biggest problems the horses doing the blue color, find no horse here three times in a row. The average time to find the right color was yellow (24,25 second), green (41,5 second), red (55,93 second) and blue (75,33 second). The average number of attempts to find the right color was red (2,11), yellow (2,12), green (3,13) and blue (3,16).

The Incidence of Pertussis in South Bohemia
HOLINKOVÁ, Petra
The thesis deals with the problem of the occurrence of whooping cough in the South Bohemian Region in the period of 2003-2012. Despite the high level of vaccination the incidence of this illness after a significant fall in the 1980s has been growing constantly since 1993. This trend evidently also applies in other developed countries with a high rate of vaccination. The main aim is to draw up an overview of the occurrence of whooping cough in the South Bohemian Region in the monitored period of the last 10 years, compare this occurrence with other regions in the Czech Republic and map out the changes which have occurred in whooping cough vaccination. Quantitative and qualitative research was chosen to process the empirical part. Data for quantitative research was acquired from the database of infectious diseases (EPIDAT), and consisted of reported cases of whooping cough. Another essential group of data were demographic figures about the number and age structure of the population. The second qualitative part was drawn up on the basis of a literary search. I acquired additional information by communicating with individual territorial workplaces of the Regional Hygiene Station of the South Bohemian Region based in České Budějovice. Using the processed data I discovered that the incidence of whooping cough in the South Bohemian Region does not have an ascending trend in 2003-2012 unlike the trend in the whole of the Czech Republic. The highest occurrence of whooping cough in the Czech Republic in the monitored period was reported in the 10-14 age group. The research also showed that in the period of 2003-2012 individual regions differed greatly in the occurrence and can be divided into two groups ? regions with the highest reached incidence below 10 cases/100,000 people and regions with incidence with the highest reached incidence above 10 cases/100,000 people which includes the South Bohemian Region. There have been many changes in the vaccination of whooping cough and the most important was the transition from whole cell vaccine to acellular in 2007 and adding a 6th booster dose between the 10th and 11th year in 2009. The greatest attention should be paid above all to increase information or test the knowledge of the lay public, especially women preparing for pregnancy and people taking care of newborn babies and infants about the occurrence, potential risks and possibilities of vaccination against this infection even at an adult age. In my opinion a further necessity is the consolidation of diagnostics, definition of a case and procedures of surveillance throughout the Czech Republic, education of paediatricians and general practitioners about the illness and topicality of the problem, an appeal to report the occurrence of this infection to epidemiologists, observing the isolation of the patient, monitoring possible epidemiological connections between cases and making use of the offer of the NRL (National Reference Laboratory) services against whooping cough and diphtheria. This thesis can be used in practice as a summary of information material for the lay and professional public about the occurrence of whooping cough in the South Bohemian Region and throughout the Czech Republic and overview of vaccination against whooping cough. It can be an incentive for further anti-epidemic measures and the need for further research into this problem.

Health Supporting Kindergarten Network in South Bohemia
HOLINKOVÁ, Petra
This bachelor thesis deals with the issue of kindergartens supporting children´s health in South Bohemia. A kindergarten supporting health is a type of school that has prepared its school education programme in accordance with the Curriculum Supporting Children´s Health in Kindergartens and, thus, it has become a member of the health supporting kindergarten network. The first part of the thesis is aimed at this issue from the theoretical point of view. The basic terms such as health, health support and planned projects aimed health support are outlined in the first part. Development of, embodying and characteristics of the project Health Supporting Kindergarten is described in more detail. Qualitative research was selected to set up the second part of the thesis. I decided for the secondary analysis of data as the first method of data collection. Curricula supporting children´s health gained in the individual kindergartens supporting children´s health were the documents analysed. A structured interview with open questions was the other method used. Selected representatives of kindergartens were the respondents. The main objective of my thesis was to evaluate the programme School Supporting Health in Kindergartens in South Bohemia. The individual objectives determined along with the main objective were aimed at the analysis of and meeting the programme School Supporting Health in Individual Kindergartens in South Bohemia and, subsequently, these programmes were compared. Based on the research results I came to the conclusion that all kindergartens supporting children´s health meet the requirements of the model project-Curriculum Supporting Children´s Health in Kindergartens-and they are operated in accordance with its principle, too. The research also suggests that the programmes of the individual kindergartens do not significantly differ from each other. In my opinion, more attention should by paid on widening the health supporting kindergartens network in future, which means to support the project more and motivate other kindergartens to join the network. This thesis can be used e.g. by eventual members as a source of summary information on the project.
