Population´s Awareness in Case of Epidemic Infection Herd Occurrence
 SÝKOROVÁ, Žaneta
Population´s Awareness in Case of Epidemic Infection Herd Occurrence This diploma work deals with the problem of biological weapons. It consists of a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part describes biological weapons in general, the options of their use and the principles of population´s protection. Further, I focussed on selected diseases which are considered to present biological weapons. The information I acquired is based on technical literature, the internet and the current legislation. The practical part of my diploma work deals with the opinions and attitudes of the Czech population concerning biological weapons and the potential risks of being exposed to biological weapons. Further I tried to find out whether the Czech population is aware of the basic issues of the problem in question. At the same time I focussed on comparing the state of awareness in the age groups of the economically active population on the one side and senior citizens on the other side. The research results have shown that the issue of biological weapons tends not to be appreciated adequately and that the opinions found in both age groups do not show significant differences. Further, an analysis of the acquired data has shown that the rate of awareness of the basic issues of the problem is low and that the population lacks sufficient information how to respond to a biological weapon attack in case of suspected assault. Differences in the level of awareness in the studied age groups have not been confirmed. The research has also shown that the respondents feel they do not have access to sources of sufficient and adequate information on biological weapons. Based on the acquired facts I have written a brochure providing information on biological weapons as well as on the recommended measures in case of suspected exposure. I have also elaborated a proposal concerning the implementation of the project and the distribution of the brochure.

Bioterorism and problems with mass media in population awarness.
 VENKRBCOVÁ, Klára
Bioterrorism is a deliberate abuse of bilogical agents with a view to bring on a human or animal illness, it can have military, religious or political connection. Biological weapons number among mass destruction weapons and their advantage is in their ineffectiveness on dead matter and ability to cause high mortality. Biological weapons are very various and budget-priced. Just a small amount can kill many people or contaminate a vast area for a long time, it all depends on qualities of the used biological agent. Biological agent can be spread in several ways, namely by aerosol inhalation, in an alimentary way otherwise by taking of with groceries, by exterior contamination by means of objects or linen and by means of vector (medium {--} insects) by blood suction. The aspiration of my work was to state the awareness level of inhabitants and I asume it was carried out. The first hypothesis {\clqq}General awareness level about bioterrorism is mininal`` This hypothesis was neither validated nor confuted, fifty percent of the answers confirmed the thesis but fifty percent did not. The second hypothesis {\clqq}Awareness and interest in bioterrorism fall with the rising age.`` This was confirmed. The third hypothesis {\clqq}Media are exaggeratedly interested in this topic. This hypothesis wasn{\crq}t confirmed. The fourth hypothesis {\clqq}The Czech Republic is according to informants´ views ready for a bioterrorist attack but it isn{\crq}t imminent.`` This hypothesis was neither validated nor confuted, as well as the first hypothesis it was confirmed from 50 % and confuted from 50 % . The fifth hypothesis {\clqq} People look for special information on bioterrorism most ofen in special literature and they get further information most ofen through the medium of television.`` This hypothesis was neither validated nor confuted. The sixth hypothesis {\clqq}The informants connect the planned build- up of the American counter rocket radar with the menace of bioterrorism.`` It was confuted.
