Social workers´ experiences with social work oriented to foreigners in South Bohemian region among selected institutions
JEŽKOVÁ, Jana
The bachelor's thesis focuses on social workers' experience with social work oriented to foreigners in the South Bohemian Region among selected institutions. The thesis is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part describes the system of protection of foreigners in the Czech Republic, categories of foreigners and types of residence of foreigners in the Czech Republic, as well as valid laws on foreigners in the Czech Republic. The essential part of the theoretical section also includes the specifics of the social work with foreigners. These include for example the competences of a social worker in social work oriented towards foreigners, sociocultural specifics or selected methods and techniques of social work specified to foreigners. The practical part deals with the research, that was realized with the usage of qualitative research strategy and method of questioning carried out in the form of an interview. Interviews were carried out with the social workers and with the workers in social services from selected organizations in South Bohemia, that provide social services for foreigners according to Act No. 108/2006 Coll., on social services, as amended. There were defined two research aims for the research purposes. The first aim was to find out what experience social workers have with the foreigners regarding the practice of their profession, the second aim was to identify how they are prepared for this work according to the subjective evaluation (in the following areas: methods and techniques of social work; legal knowledge; sociocultural specifics of minorities, immigrants, and foreigners granted asylum; etc.). Following these aims, one research question was specified: How are social workers equipped with methods and techniques of social work specified to foreigners? The data obtained from the research was analyzed manually using by "pencil and paper" and the results, of the analysis, were entered into several diagrams, that were created in the computer program Draw.io. The analysis of the research results showed, that the social workers have both, positive and negative experience with the social work, oriented towards foreigners, while positive experience relates to the evaluation of social work with the foreigners as such. The biggest difficulties in social work oriented towards foreigners are social workers' language barrier or insufficient orientation in law on foreigners. Social workers have to often turn to other experts in these areas. The research also showed, that the social workers assessed their preparedness in the methods and techniques of social work specified to foreigners as sufficient, even though in most cases they did not mention any of the specific methods and techniques of this social work (such as intercultural communication; empowerment; networking; coaching; combating discrimination; social work with traumatized refugees; etc.). In this sense, they rather talked about general methods and techniques or about some theoretical approaches of social work, which they also apply in social work with foreigners. The results of this bachelor's thesis can be used as a motive to stimulate the reflections of the governmental and non-governmental sector on the need to improve the professional readiness of social workers in social work, oriented towards foreigners, but also as a valuable basis for the implementation of follow-up and deeper research on the issue.

Weight and BMI in relation to the dose of levotyroxin of patients with hypothyreosis
Radiměřská, Veronika ; Jiskra, Jan (advisor) ; Ježková, Jana (referee)
The objective of this study was to define if there is a mutual influence between the daily dose of levothyroxine, positivity/negativity of thyroid antibody, BMI, waistline, hip measurement and other anthropometric parameters. It was also to analyze if the daily dose of levothyroxine is being influenced by degree of hypothyroidismimportance. Methodology: There were 44 patients examined having hypothyroidism and who have been cured with levothyroxine so that their thyroid function has been normal at the time. I have examined those patients' body height, weight, BMI, waistline and hipline. Under the supervision of the medicine doctor I used records available for each of patients regarding concentration of TSH, TPOAb and TgAb, which were defined with patients' blood by a method of immunoassay. Results: The average daily dose of levothyroxine in all patients sample has showed a positive correlation with BMI (Spearman rho coef. 0,429, P value=0,004) and with waistline of women (Spearman rho coef. 0,332, P value=0,028). The concentration of thyroidantibody did not show a statistical relevance regarding the dependence with the dose of levothyroxine, BMI or other anthropometric parameters.The highest average daily dose of levothyroxine was confirmed for examined patients after total thyroidectomy (median of...

Vitamin preparations during pregnancy
Matoušková, Karolína ; Ježková, Jana (advisor) ; Vítková, Hana (referee)
This thesis discusses problems of pregnancy and increased nutrient requirements with a focus on vitamins and minerals. It is divided into two parts - theoretical and practical. The aim is to identify those vitamins and minerals that may be deficient during pregnancy and thus their intake should be increased. The theoretical part describes the importance of particular elements for the specifics of pregnancy and possible symptoms of deficiency or excess, with the pregnancy orientation. The practical part focuses on the evaluation of selected multivitamin and multi mineral supplements which are intended for pregnant women. The main criterion is to ensure sufficient amounts of vitamins and minerals during the increased demands of pregnancy. Evaluation is done by comparing two parameters - the recommended daily dose for pregnant women and the amount of micronutrients contained in the composition of given products. Content analysis was used as the data collection technique for the basic quantitative research. Finally, it discusses the usefulness of the administration of vitamin supplements during pregnancy, and whether a balanced diet is sufficient enough to meet the needs of the organism even in states where there may be some lack of vitamins and minerals. Key words: pregnancy ; nutrition ; vitamins ;...

Role of membrane phospholipid remodeling, oxidative stress and PKC-δ upregulation in cardioprotection induced by chronic hypoxia
Ježková, Jana ; Kalous, Martin (referee)
Role of membrane phospholipid remodeling, oxidative stress and PKC- δ upregulation in cardioprotection induced by chronic hypoxia Introduction: Cardiovascular disease is the main cause of morbidity and mortality in industrially developed countries. Therefore, a number of experimental and clinical studies deal with the issue of how to increase tolerance to myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. The present studies are concerned with mechanisms involved in the induction of endogenous cardioprotection after adaptation to intermittent altitude (IHA) hypoxia and influence of fat diets enriched with different fatty acids (FA) composition. We focused on changes in the composition of serum and heart lipids, the expression of PKC and on markers of oxidative stress and antioxidant enzyme activity in the myocardium. We also studied the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the cardioprotective effect of IHA hypoxia using the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC). Methods: Adult male Wistar rats were exposed to IHA hypoxia in hyperbaric chamber, altitude 7000 m, 8 hours per day, 5 days a week, 25 exposures. Animals were fed by standard diet and diet enriched with 10% fat (saturated - SFA and MUFA mononemnasycené), 10% corn oil (n-6 polyunsaturated MK PUFA) and 10% fish oil (n-3 PUFA) in the diet experiment....

Novel approaches to diagnosis and treatment of selected endocrine disorders
Ježková, Jana ; Marek, Josef (advisor) ; Haluzík, Martin (referee) ; Vladyka, Vilibald (referee)
Je známou zkušeností, že hyperkortizolismus urychluje aterosklerotické děje. Ty je možné sledovat ultrazvukovým vyšetřováním karotid a nověji též vyšetřováním cévní mikrocirkulace laser-Dopplerovskou metodou. Pro urychlení aterosklerotických změn u nemocných s Cushingovým syndromem jsou nesporně důležité známé faktory: hypertenze, obezita a hyperlipidemie. К nim se počítá zvýšená inzulínová rezistence, ale nemocní s floridním hyperkortizolismem mají normální hladiny glykemie a imunoreaktivního inzulínu. К aterogenezi u floridního hyperkortizolismu může přispívat zvýšená tvorba volných kyslíkových radikálů vznikajících při oxidaci lipidů a zvýšené hladiny pozitivního proteinu akutní fáze-orosomukoidu. Imunosupresivní charakter se projevuje snížením hladin autoprotilátek a snížením hladiny intercelulární adhezivní molekuly-1 (ICAM-1). К urychlení aterogeních dějů dochází i u nemocných, kteří jsou již dlouhou dobu po úspěšné normalizaci hyperkortizolemie. I když čerstvě operovaní a normalizovaní nemocní ztrácí do jednoho roku svou Cushingovskou obezitu, dochází později u operovaných nemocných opět к nadváze. Ta je spojena s poruchami lipidového spektra a u čtvrtiny nemocných i s hypertenzí. Nemocné po operaci pro Cushingův syndrom je nutné pravidelně sledovat, i když jsou dlouhodobě normalizováni. Je třeba u...

Integration of a Child with Phenylketon
Ježková, Jana ; Mrkosová, Eva (advisor) ; Zemková, Jaroslava (referee)
Fenylketonurie je pro většinu lidí neznámým pojmem. Z výsledků průzkumu u rodičů dětí majících PKU vyplývá, že pouze jeden z dvaceti rodičů znal tento pojem před diagnózou dítěte. Po sdělení diagnózy v sobě rodiče objevují síly, které dosud nebyly využity. Je nutné na sebe vzít břemeno nových požadavků, nový režim rodiny, zvýšené finanční nároky, časové požadavky. Důležité je, aby si rodiče jednotlivě i společně utřídili a ujasnili vše, na co spoléhají, kdo nebo co jim může pomoci.
