Photography and author's book
Růžičková, Zuzana ; Francová, Sylva (advisor) ; Magidová, Markéta (referee)
The topic of my bachelor thesis is Photography and the Author's Book. I deal in it with a brief chronological history of the medium of photography and, in a little more detail, with contemporary photography. I follow a similar approach to the phenomenon of author's books and their various variations and forms, where I also briefly introduce the medium of zine. After the author's book, the work moves on to the combination of the author's book and photography and photographic publications. Then, the various author's files, photography books, author's books and visual files are mentioned in the thesis, which are also described in terms of how they work with text, photography and their overall visuality. All of these publications are contemporary productions in the Czech Republic, no more than 5 years old, and their subject matter is similar to that of my author's photography book (nature, feelings, music), which I describe in detail in the artistic part of the thesis. The artistic part consists of an author's photographic project presented in the form of an author's book, in which I try to connect the theme of nature, feelings with images accompanied by music. I also incorporate other elements into my work - artefacts, natural objects and glass fragments that I have collected during my photographic...

The influence of nurses communication skill in the patient care at Department of internal medicine.
RŮŽIČKOVÁ, Zuzana
The Internal Medicine Department (IMD) is servicing a wide spectrum of clients. Communication with this type of clients is putting high demand on nurses in the area of communication competencies. My diploma exam is focusing on this subject and is targeted to map the issues of mutual communication between nurses and their clients and point out the frequent errors which the nurses are making. The diploma exam is divided in two sections. The first section is purely theoretic and is focused on communication as such, communication barriers and communication competencies of the nurses. It analysis how the type of the patient´s ilnesses influences formation of communication barriers between the nurses and patients. My main effort in this section was to present summarised information concerning the problems of communication, provide description of the IMD, describe a profile of the nurse and define the types of ilnesses that are most often treated at the IMD. The second section of my diploma exam is describing the results of my qualitative research which I conducted. I have set three objectives for my research. The first objective did focus on communication competencies of nurses in the communication with the patients treated at the IMD. The target of my second objective was to establish how the seriousness of the patient´s illness influences the communication between nurses and patients. The third objective was focused to establish recommended improvements in the communication between nurses and patients, based on the research outcomes. To achieve the targeted results, I have created three research focused questions based on my pre-set objectives. I have used two types of methods of qualitative research to acquire and evaluate the desired data a structured interview and observation. The research sample consisted of two groups of respondents. The first group was represented by four health nurses working in the department selected South Bohemian hospitals. The second group was represented Eight patients who at the time of the research were hospitalized in the internal medicine department. The structure of observation of the behavior of one nurse in relation to two patients allowed me to define the divergencies of the nurse´s behavior in relation to different types of patients. Following the observation I have conducted a targeted interview with the concerned patients. I have collected the data at the IMDs in the hospital in Pisek and České Budejovice during the period from February 2014 to March 2014. The results of my research have been thoroughly analysed. To analyse the data I have applied the method of coding. The core results of the research have been summarised in tables and graphs. The results of the research questions and answers are allowing to determine following four hypothesis. The first hypothesis says: the communication competence of nurses consists of verbal and non-verbal communication. The second hypthesis says: the communication of nurses with patients is influenced by the frequency and the duration of the admission of the patients. The third hypothesis says: effects influencing the communication between the nurse and the patient include noise and co-patient sharing the room. The fourth hypothesis says: the nurse´s behavior is not influenced by the seriousness of the illness of the patient. The results of my research are highlighting the effects occuring in the mutual communication between the nurses and patients. The outcome of this diploma exam enables application of useful communication techniques in the daily contact of the nurses with the patients during their admission. Those techniques are supposed to improve and increase the efficency of the mutual communication between nurses and patients.

Contemporary Czech Music for Harpsichord
Knoblochová, Monika ; Mrázková, Giedre (advisor) ; Růžičková, Zuzana (referee) ; Willi, Barbara Maria (referee)
Czech contemporary music for harpsichord is extraordinary both in importance and in the number of pieces that have been composed in the past eighty years. But professional literature, surprisingly, has not concerned itself with this subject. (See the chapter ?Critical Evaluation of Literature?.) Because of the size of the topic, apart from summarizing the repertoire of works from the first half of the twentieth century I have devoted myself mainly to a detailed discussion of the five most important Czech composers for harpsichord: Jan Novák, Viktor Kalabis, Marek Kopelent, Jiří Teml, and Jiří Gemrot. The chapters devoted to these individual composers contain a biographical section, analysis of their compositional means, and a complete catalogue of their works for harpsichord giving circumstances of origin, performance instructions, and a brief summary including dedication, recordings, publication, deposition of the autograph, and first performance. A dominant position among the composers chosen is held by Jiří Teml, and a complete recording of Teml?s music for harpsichord on two compact discs serves as the practical part of this dissertation. Besides the above-mentioned information provided for all five chosen composers, the chapter on Teml includes a detailed analysis of his compositional means and procedures. The dissertation also makes use of authentic recollections and commentary by the chosen composers or members of their families, which I consider to be an important contribution to the subject being treated.
