The main aim of the work was to understand the complex and demanding path in the development of energy and power engineering in the Czech lands from the end of the 19th century to the present.

The next sections first describe the historical individual periods in which the power plants were built on the basis of certain conditions. Then I deal in detail with the most frequently used types of power plants in the Czech Republic with more emphasis on one of the modern technologies of the Temelín Nuclear Power Plant.

Cognitive Remediation and Emotion Skills Training (CREST) is a method successfully implemented in the treatment of eating disorders, that helps improve cognitive and emotional deficits. As patients with eating disorders and substance abuse have similar neuropsychological impairments and have also a high co-morbidity in both disorders, we can consider using CREST in the treatment of addiction. The introduction part is based on views of various authors on the issue of eating disorders, their comorbid psychiatric diseases and mechanisms associated with eating disorders and substance addiction. Further I describe the neuropsychological deficits found in both diseases, the possibilities of their rehabilitation and finally I present the CREST program.

Nováková, Kristýna ; Pavlovská, Amalie (advisor) ; Šťastná, Lenka (referee)
Resources: Needs analysis is an important tool to determine the demands and needs of target groups whom we offer or want to offer particular services. In 2015 there were reported 17, 029 users in communication with drop-in centre services (Mravčík et al., 2015). However, there is a lack of feedback on behalf of the clients, which would help create, develop, and also adjust current programme or service. Similar analysis in Zlín region was made in the year 2010 (Radimecký, 2010), next analysis with recreational users was made in Mělník area (Přádová, 2015), and with clients of drop-in centres in Prague (Miovský, 2003). Targets: The research is focused on needs analysis aimed to reveal which services are available for clients, how appealing offered services are, and whether services on offer meet the demands of clients. In this I also concentrate on the characteristics of local drug environment. Another target is to determine how the needs of target group have been changing since 2010 and the possibility to compare whether and to what extend the needs of workers and clients differ. In 2010 recommendations to establish a new kind of service were published, and my aim is also to compare these recommendations with my results, and create a new list of recommendations and proposals.
