Peroutková, Pavla ; Fulková, Marie (advisor) ; Sedlák, Michal (referee)
The Final work of the Bachelor degree 'On the edge' deals with the theme of social intervention and the use of the body in contemporary art and culture. It investigates concrete likenesses of these expressions in the edge of art, primarily in the Czech art scene and searches for its predesessors in the art of the twentieth century. The artistic part represents realised projects and inspired chosen works. The third part is comprised of evaluated questions, investigations into the relationship Basic school students have with contemporary art and a proposal for the possible exploitation of the explored approaches to work in artistic projects for older students of Basic schools.

Anaphylactick shock and the possibilities of dealing with it by a paramedic.
ZÁBRANSKÝ, Stanislav
The aim of the thesis was to map knowledge that paramedics of South Bohemian Emergency Medical Service have during a medical treatment of Anaphylactic shock in out-of-hospital emergency care. This topic included the knowledge of terms Anaphylactic shock, describing its symptoms, the way of its medical treatment, recommended procedures and its style of training. Six employees of South Bohemian Emergency Medical Service take part in this research. Respondents received 15 questions related to this issue. The qualitative research was used to achieve results. All the interviews were semi-structured. As emerged from the research, the training concerning Anaphylactic shock is insufficient. Most of paramedical staff have not been present during any Anaphylactic shock. They have been more present during some Allergic reaction. Therefore, their motivation to gain more knowledge of this issue is not satisfactory. Also, paramedics do not have enough knowledge of a term Anaphylactic shock. They are aware of this term, however, they are not able to describe it. The biggest problem is dosage medications. The paramedics are not sure how to dose medications without consultation with a doctor. Concerning medication of adults, the knowledge is better. However, in the case of children, the paramedics confess that they do not remember the procedure. Paramedics follow the rule which takes into consideration kilograms of a patient. However, for the reason of the faster intervention, it is better to give the amount of medication with regard to the age of a child. Another problematic question is a position of a patient when transporting to a hospital. To have better orientation and knowledge of procedures during Anaphylactic shock, paramedics should have more extensive training. Except for the mandatory training from an employer, the paramedics should have an occasional initiative of gaining the knowledge by their own.

Scale of Market Movements for US stock market
Kašpárek, Radim ; Krištoufek, Ladislav (advisor) ; Smutná, Šarlota (referee)
Currently, there is no singular, codified, and widely accepted approach to wards measuring the depth of financial crises. One of the approaches ap plied towards this problematic has been to build on the observed similarity between financial markets and dynamic systems in physics and to create analogous systems. The Scale of Market Shocks originally proposed for foreign exchange markets has been adapted for the US stock market in or der to provide US policy makers with a tool to assess the severity of such crises. Using methodology adapted from relevant research and literature we used volatilities calculated with different sampling resolution as the basis for our scale as we believe that these capture the behavior of different market agents. The resultant scale correctly identifies sharp movements and assign them a numerical value that denotes the importance of a crash. This scale is applicable for US policy makers to assess outcomes of proposed policies, however, the use of Principal Component Analysis to ease the computational complexity proved to not yield required results.

Shockvertising and its development in marketing communication
Havlová, Laura ; Klimeš, David (advisor) ; Hejlová, Denisa (referee)
With the Internet, mobile devices and other technological innovations, advertisements have an easy way to the customers. On the other hand, all these channels and opportunities to communicate make it harder for the ads to actually affect the public. Therefore, the advertisers and creative agencies have to use more aggressive and unusual techniques to catch the people's attention. One form that wants to differentiate itself from the other ads is shockvertising, ads using shock appeal to communicate. And this type of advertising is the topic of this bachelor thesis. The aim is to find out how Czech creative workers view the use of shockvertising. Despite the fact that ads with shock appeal are no exceptions, not many professional publications focus on them as their core topic. Authors often include them into the social advertising or state them just as one of the types of creative advertising. This thesis wants to change this and concentrate purely on the shockvertising. To do this, the theoretical basis is a necessary part of the thesis. The second part is a research on shockvertising, done by ten interviews with Czech creative workers.

The effect of hypothermia on outcome and neurologic injury after prolonged cardiac arrest treated by emergency preservation and delayed resuscitation
Drábek, Tomáš ; Jech, Robert (advisor) ; Hess, Ladislav (referee) ; Mareš, Jan (referee)
5 Summary: Currently, the outcomes from traumatic exsanguination cardiac arrest (CA) show that over 50% of deaths due to trauma occur at the scene, where medical care is limited. Less than 10% of patients who become pulseless from trauma survive. However, in an appropriate setting, some of those traumatic injuries could be surgically repairable. Emergency preservation and resuscitation (EPR) is a novel approach for resuscitation of exsanguination CA victims. EPR uses deep hypothermic preservation for prolonged CA to buy time for transport, damage control surgery, and delayed resuscitation with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Initially, we used a dog model to maximize clinical relevance. We showed that the efficacy of EPR is related to the depth of hypothermia and duration of CA. Pharmacologic adjuncts tested to augment hypothermia generally failed. Extended hemorrhagic shock did not prevent the success of EPR vs. conventional resuscitation if extended post-resuscitative hypothermia was provided. Oxygenation of the flush allowed extending of survivable duration of deep hypothermic CA. Because of the lack of molecular tools available for use in dogs, we developed a rat EPR model to study the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying deep hypothermic neuroprotection to allow us to define specific targets for...

Pre-Hospital Urgent Care of Injured Motorcyclists at Traffic Accidents
SEIDL, Miroslav
Currently every day a great number of traffic accidents happens in our roads. Some accidents are followed by very serious injuries, which must be treated quickly and right. Recently many motorcyclists have been in this group of the seriously wounded and this number is still increasing. At the scene of the accident paramedics shall give the right and fast first aid mostly to a young person and they often decide on his/her life, eventually on its next quality. Paramedics must it be able to take off a protective helmet in the right way, stabilize patient´s essential vital functions and diagnose eventual shock or polytrauma. However not all the injuries can be diagnosed by paramedics with the available equipment at the scene of the accident. A good result is guaranteed in the increasing tendency of this accident rate first of all with paramedics continuous training at this specific problems. The aim of the bachelor thesis is an analysis of pre-hospital urgent care of injured motorcyclists at traffic accidents and set standard for treatment of these casualties by paramedics. The sample of respondents is represented by staff members of Health Rescue Service of South Bohemian Region and staff members of the Traumatological department of the Nemocnice České Budějovice, a.s. The data collection was performed by the methods of questioning, guided conversation and secondary data analysis. The research was performed in March 2010. Pursuant to the performed research the following hypotheses have been determined and the standard for treatment of an injured motorcyclist by paramedics has been created. Hypothesis 1: Paramedics use immobilizing tools in case of an injured motorcyclist in the right way. Hypothesis 2: Paramedics cannot take off the protective helmet in case of an injured motorcyclist in the right way.

The ability of perform first aid by students of the high schools of Zlin region
SURÁ, Kristýna
In recent years, the term ``first aid{\crqq} has become an integral part of our lives. Due to the increasingly rapid lifestyle, we are everyday witnessing traffic accidents or accidents that occur while doing extreme sports. These, together with the ever-worsening lifestyle, cause acute diseases. High school students, children from 15 up to 19, live an almost carefree life. They are often interested in sports and other forms of entertainment that may produce events requiring their help and provision of first aid. Therefore my thesis deals with the ability of high school students in the Zlín region to provide first unqualified aid. The survey was conducted at Uherský Brod high schools by means of a quantitative research questionnaire. The first objective was to ascertain the knowledge, skills, and quality of the performance in the area of first aid provision. The first hypothesis I had stipulated predicted insufficient knowledge of first aid. The survey showed 73% respondents were successful. Therefore, this hypothesis was invalidated. My next objective was to identify the level of the students{\crq} interest in first aid training in their free time. Students prefer the Czech Red Cross and joining the voluntary fire brigade or the Scout Movement. However, membership in such activities is rare. The second hypothesis was to verify students{\crq} interest in first aid training. The questionnaire shows that students are interested but only in school classes. The last objective was to analyze the content of first aid classes at high schools. All high schools deal with the topic as part of the schooling. At trade schools, this is carried out in the form of ``Safety at Work{\crqq} training. At secondary trade schools, students of the secondary nursing school are invited to train students in first aid. At secondary grammar schools the topic is taught the whole school year, as part of ``biology practical training{\crqq} classes. To achieve even better results I suggest not only further schooling in the theoretical knowledge but also practical training of approaching the injured person and the basic communication with the wounded. I recommend making the activities that offer first aid training more attractive by using e.g. adequate illustrative aids.
