Protecting hospitals from terrorism
KLEČKOVÁ, Anna
Abstract The diploma thesis deals with the analysis of the security of selected medical facilities (hospitals), their experience with terrorist and cyber-terrorist attacks and the analysis of differences in the threat and security of medical facilities in the Czech Republic and selected countries. To fulfil the first goal of the work and to answer research questions, a quantitative research was conducted using a questionnaire survey, and to fulfil the second goal, a qualitative research in the form of semi-structured interviews with employees of medical facilities who have experience from foreign internships/missions in health care in selected countries was conducted. The data obtained from the research and the survey were evaluated using graphs and graphical representations. Based on the evaluation of the obtained data, it can be stated that in most medical facilities (hospitals) the entrance is not secured, there are no security check door frames and the entrance for employees is not separated or secured. Most hospitals do not provide training, employees are not familiar with counter-terrorism measures, but most respondents would welcome terrorism response training. From the semi-structured interviews, it was found that the level of security is individual for each state, depending on the current situation. In most countries, employees are not trained to respond to terrorism. The threat to the medical facility in other countries was in most cases more severe than in the Czech Republic. Most respondents perceive differences in hospital security and think that some security features used elsewhere are applicable in the Czech Republic. These aspects are further discussed and compared with foreign research. Furthermore, other research possibilities, weaknesses in hospital protection and recommendations for practise are also outlined. The conclusions resulting from the diploma thesis can be used to improve the means of protecting hospitals from terrorism.

Decision-making on Czech participation in the military missions and operations of the European Union
Vondřich, Marek ; Weiss, Tomáš (advisor) ; Tomalová, Eliška (referee)
This Master thesis examines reasons of Czech politicians to decide on sending armed forces of the Czech Republic into military missions and operations of the European Union. The Czech Republic in researched years 2003-2016 took part in six out of twelve EU's military missions and operations. During these years, the support at the Czech political scene towards said missions and operations changed many times, depending on the position of certain party in the government or in the opposition. Thesis uses content analysis of discussions for its research. These discussions took place in the Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of the Czech Republic between years 2003 and 2016 and were associated with government's proposals on the deployment of the Czech armed forces abroad. Each Member of the Chamber of Deputies' contribution is assigned into one of defined categories: Security, Profitability and Appropriateness. The main hypothesis is that the majority of contributions in the researched debates belongs into Appropriateness category, largely due to importance of commitments towards allies in the EU. The second hypothesis is that the amount of arguments belonging into Security category will rise in the last couple of years, mainly because of the worsening security situation in the European Union and the...

Forms of provision of pre-hospital emergency care applied to the foreign missions by the Army of the Czech Republic
SMUTNÁ, Jana
The thesis deals with the forms of provision of pre-hospital emergency care (PEC) by paramedics of the Army of the Czech Republic (ACR) and this means above all those forms of PEC which are provided by Combat Medic and Combat Lifesaver (a Combat Lifesaver trained soldier). With regard to the terminology and conception of the thesis comprising the areas of providing PEC, the thesis deals with the levels 1 3 outfeed chain, consequently with the care of the patient to the relevant Role 1 including. The aim of the thesis was to show the basic differences in providing PEC by the Army of the Czech Republic in comparison with the system of emergency medical services of the Czech Republic and then to find out what the specific qualifications for a paramedic´s profession are. I tried to demonstrate this knowledge both by the practical part of the thesis and by its theoretical part.The theoretical part deals with the problems of reaching the paramedic post of the ACR either the Combat Medic or Combat Lifesaver, by required education and necessary courses. Then the thesis deals with providing PEC in the battlefield, up to Role 1, when the wounded person is given the first aid by paramedics. The practical part meant the qualitative research in the form of semi-structured interview and research questions. There I managed to achieve particular aims of the thesis thanks to the interviews with the respondents of the medical personnel of the ACR and the respondents of emergency medical services. All the inverviewed medical personnel of the ACR had to participate in at least one foreign mission. Among the respondents were both the CLS trained soldiers, Combat Medics, and even one medical corps doctor. The thesis is a contribution to the paramedics of the ACR and paramedics in general who could learn more about the problems of providing PEC in extreme circumstances or possibly consolidate the knowledge they have. The research showed that the basic differences in providing PEC between the interviewed groups (it means the military paramedics and paramedics) are above all external factors, the terrain, and material or even the kind of wound or the hierarchy of the medical personnel of the foreign mission. The research also outlines the specifics necessary for exercising an ACR paramedic´s profession, and those are the courses they take before a foreign mission.

Snížková, Žaneta ; Peterková, Jana (advisor) ; Zemanová, Štěpánka (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with foreign missions, namely with entrepreneur missions and their role in enforcement and support of entrepreneur interests in foreign markets. The thesis offers definitions of essential terms determining these specific means of export support, investigates the functionality of entrepreneur missions and analyses the benefits of these missions as the instrument of facilitation of making new business contacts, establishment of new partnerships and cognition of foreign markets and local business conditions. For evaluation of the entrepreneur missions effectiveness there was devised a study based on information gained from such missions participants and organizers. For purposes of this thesis, three entrepreneur missions were chosen. The case study ascertained that entrepreneur missions are still indispensible pillars of Czech export and entrepreneur community. Among the main positive aspects of entrepreneur missions belong especially the extension of contact network and identification of specific elements of foreign marketplaces.
