Splitting and Dissociation in Schizophrenia
Pěč, Ondřej ; Raboch, Jiří (advisor) ; Šípek, Jiří (referee) ; Kocourková, Jana (referee)
The term splitting is defined as a process of formation of mental aggregates linked incompatible experiences producing numerous divisions in mental apparatus. Current findings indicate that psychological splitting in schizophrenia is likely specifically presented on a neural level as disrupted organization in neural communication. This disrupted neural communication likely underlies deficits in mental processing described by various neuroscientific concepts such as theories of disturbed connectivity, corollary discharges and dynamic complexity. In this context, a purpose of the theoretical part of the dissertation is to describe basic neuroscience theories that complementarily reflect interrelated processes between mind and brain underlying disturbances of mental integration that likely present a neural representation of the splitting. A purpose of the first part of the empirical research was to examine relationships between psychological process of splitting and disturbed cognitive and affective functions in schizophrenia. A sample of patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) was used as a control group in this study. Methods: In the clinical study, we have assessed 30 patients with schizophrenia and 35 patients with BPD. The symptoms of splitting were measured using self- reported...

The difference in the content of Ca and Mg of moss Hypnum cupressiforme on two types of rock, serpentinite and granulite
Paštyka, David ; Kocourková, Jana (advisor) ; Chrastný, Vladislav (referee)
Most of plants are negatively affected by specific characteristics of serpentine. It is mainly due to the low ratio of Ca: Mg, drought and high content of heavy metals. Specific vegetation occurs on the serpentine thanks to these characteristics. Although many scientists looked into the topic of serpentine, mosses were not focused that much. This research is dedicated to the difference in the content of moss Hypnum cupressiforme on serpentine and granulite in south Bohemia.
This theses found out that bryophytes of serpentine contained significantly higher amounts of magnesium. Ca: Mg ratio was lower in plants at serpentine sites than at control sites. Calcium has been accumulated by mosses on the serpentine and granulite almost equally, on serpentine, magnesium was accumulated 13 times less and nickel 7 times less. Serpentine plants contained significantly higher amounts of nickel and chromium than granulite.
More accurate conclusions would probably bring chemical analyzes of individual parts of bryophytes and analysis of its subsoil. It would be interesting to include pleurocarp and acrocarp mosses and liverworts.

Eating Disorders: Epidemiology and Risk Factors
Pavlová, Barbara ; Papežová, Hana (advisor) ; Kocourková, Jana (referee) ; Šípek, Jiří (referee)
This thesis explores the epidemiology and risk factors of eating disorders. It focuses on the impact of the political and cultural changes that occured in the Czech Republic in the early 1990s. The term eating disorders includes mental illnesses characterized by disturbances in eating behaviour: anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and various eating disorders not otherwise specifieed. It appears that the incidence of anorexia nervosa was increasing until 1970s and remains stable since. The incidence of bulimia nervosa was rising until the end of 1990s. However, the data come from the western countries only. The epiemiological data from the Central and Eastern Europe region remain sparse. Eating disorders have multifactorial aetiology; which includes the recently emerging factors related to migration and acculatuation. Therefore, we hypothesised that the prevalence and incidence of eating disorders in the Czech Repulic rose in the 1990s and that factors associated with migration experiences may play a role in the development and maintenance of eating disorders. This thesis contains three different papers exploring different aspects of this hypothesis. The first paper shows that the number of hospital admissions for eating disorders in females aged 10-39 quadrupled between 1981 and 2001, and remained high till...

Depression - its features and awareness among nurses
Dejčmarová, Jana ; Voleníková, Ivana (advisor) ; Kocourková, Jana (referee)
My bachelor work deals with the issue of depressive affection and nurses awareness about it. The teoretical part concludes up present theories about this illness. It also explains its point, cause, symptoms and cure for this affection and an approach of nurses to the patients and their families. Datas from the exploratory study were obtained from a anonymous questionnaire, which I executed and analysed in Microsoft Excel. The questions were focused on the knowledge of the affection, endangering factors which pose a threat to nurses and also on their selfreflection. Acquired datas are represented in graphs and tables. 80 nurses took part in this study. In my work I also conclude improvement suggestions for improving nurses awareness.

Nursing process in ill with anorexia nervosa
Vacová, Mária ; Pohlová, Andrea (advisor) ; Kocourková, Jana (referee)
My graduation project is about mental anorexia (anorexia nervosa). There are two sections: theoretical and practical. In theoretical part I described mental anorexia- causes, diagnostics, complications and formsof treatment. In practical part I wrote about positive way of nursing at the patient with mental anorexia. I aimed to give informations about an individual nursing pian. The nurse can contribute with her way of caring to successful treatment. She cooperats with patienť s family and a1l members of nursing team. I used technical literature and my experiences from practise to write trus project. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Attention training using EEG biofeedback in patients with brain injury
Gregorová, Iva ; Kulišťák, Petr (advisor) ; Kocourková, Jana (referee) ; Urban, Pavel (referee)
Celosvětové statistiky jsou pravidelně plněny varovnými čísly, která oznamují, kolik lidí každý rok podlehne následkům traumatu mozku. Díky zlepšující se lékařské péči se zvyšuje počet lidí, kteří přežívají i závažná poranění mozku. Tato poranění však sebou nesou řadu komplikací a to raných i pozdějších. Finanční prostředky vynakládané na léčbu pacientů po poranění mozku jsou značné. Přesná čísla nejsou známa, ale podle Smrčky (2001) v roce 1990 např. v USA dosáhly roční náklady na mozková traumata 25 miliard US dolarů. Tato částka zahrnuje náklady spojené jednak s přímou léčbou pacientů, ale i s následnou rehabilitací, rekvalifikačními kurzy atd. Řada pacientů je díky následkům úrazu v dlouhodobé pracovní neschopnosti nebo trvalé invaliditě. Častými následky po poranění mozku jsou mimo Jlne deficity kognitivních funkcí, zvláště pozornosti. Tato disertační práce se zaměřuje na možnost využití metody EEG biofeedback při tréninku pozornosti u pacientů po poranění mozku, Jednou z terapeutických aplikací metody EEG biofeedback jsou právě poruchy pozornosti. Metoda EEG biofeedback je mnohými opěvovaná a jinými zase zatracovaná. Využívána je při léčbě celé řady onemocnění. Původní projekt této disertační práce musel být změněn. Měla být ověřována efektivita metody EEG biofeedback u vzorku dětí s diagnózou ADHD, u...

Literature search on the topic of lichens of heathlands in the Czech Republic
Vopatová, Lenka ; Kocourková, Jana (advisor)
This bachelor´s thesis excerpts information from published materials regarding lichens in heathlands in Czech Republic, and data of lichens habitats are enriched with description of heathland types (lowland, foothill and alpine) present in a given area. I evaluated factors influencing presence of lichens on various substrates (e.g. sands, serpentine steppe, etc.) in order to compare biodiversity of lichens in various types of heathlands. Gathered information is added to the commented list of lichens with description of habitat areas and substrates.

Interaction of humans and the environment in residential hauses with walls from inorganic masonry
Brada, Lukáš ; Kocourková, Jana (advisor) ; Zemanová, Lucie (referee)
Interaction of humans and the environment, is subject to the occurrence of mold in
residential buildings. Mold development has been the ultimate result of a variety of
phenomena, processes and causes that have penetrated in various stages of preparation,
implementation and operation of buildings. The negative effects which the mold in a residential area buildings exhibit is primarily a reduction in the use of comfort living
space in the form of health risks in the form of allergic reactions and possibly causing
chronic problems. Chronic problems over time can lead to serious illness. A big role in
the occurrence of mold also plays a reduction of aesthetic values of residential spaces
requiring repair and remedy these deficiencies. When removing adverse events leads to
an unnecessary additional environmental burden.
Problems of fungi in ground buildings are very expansive and interdisciplinary
problems, which incorporates structural, termomechanic, chemical and biologic aspects.
In this undergraduate work I concentrated on the origin of fungi in ground buildings
with inorganic materials and I am discribing at least some important sources and aspects
of fungi origin in each phases origin and exploitation building, with usage of specialised
literature. Model compultations and examples of origin fungi are performed.
Autocephalous origin of fungi in residencial buildings is yet fallback situation, which
can be possibly prevented. But due to conditions for origin fugi can begin long ago this
fallback situation. Store of bias each phases living buildings is accentuated on possibly
fugi production in buildings from project up to operation.
