Quality of Service in Cellular Networks
Spiššák, Filip ; Mašek, Jan (referee) ; Krkoš, Radko (advisor)
This thesis deals with the quality of service (QoS) mechanism in Evolved Packet System (EPS). The basic architecture and characteristics of the EPS are introduced. The concept of QoS is defined. Furthermore, QoS related entities, their functions and corresponding procedures are described. The methodology for measuring and evaluating of end-to-end QoS as seen from a user’s point of view is designed. This methodology is used to measure QoS of experimental cellular network at UTKO FEEC BUT. Finally, configuration change for optimizing the QoS support of experimental cellular network is designed.

The Ideological Basis of the FARC Movement and its Transformation
Falc, Martin ; Opatrný, Josef (advisor) ; Kovář, Martin (referee)
(in English): This work studies the genesis of the FARC's ideological nature and the consequences of changes in its development which have had an impact on the conduct of warfare. A number of aspects which, in varying degrees, affect the direction of the guerrilla group are analysed successively. Firstly, the roots of the movement are discussed along with events which led to the creation of the FARC and the legitimacy of its political program. Thereafter, the functionality of the security policy of Colombian presidents for the last thirty years is examined. Participation in the illegal drug trade, which constantly changes the guerrilla's mechanism of functioning, has had appreciable influence on the process of forming the movement and consequently on the public view of the organization. Based on the study of the stated aspects and the analysis of three key constituents of guerrilla movement - political, military and economic components - a scheme describing the hierarchic realignment that has resulted in the consequent transformation of the organization was created.

Facts influencing attempt of nursing staff in patient orientation health care.
WALDSBERGEROVÁ, Marcela
The thesis presented consists of two parts: a theory and the empirical part. The theory is introduced with a brief survey of the history of the patient centred care followed with current trends in nursing. It is followed with the three key areas determining nursing care. The first one consists of the objective factors - the health care system. The second area is formed by the factors associated with the practical implementation of nursing. The third area is devoted to the role of the patient and his surroundings. Objective of the thesis: The mapping of the factors influencing patient-oriented care by the nursing staff and management in various health care institutions. Research group The research group consisted of 11 female respondents state-registered nurses, aged from 24 to 58 years of age. The respondents varied in their position, level of education, and specialization, and they worked in various health-care institutions. Among them, there were 6 registered nurses, 4 ward nurses, and 1 head nurse. The willingness to cooperate and the saturation of responses were principal in forming the research team in question. The way adopted for achieving of the objective A qualitative research method has been chosen to achieve the goal. The phenomenological focus of the work has led to the selection of the method. The data were collected using semi-structured interviews. The findings were further categorized and confronted with the source material to answer the research questions. Results The research confirms the nursing care is a complex phenomenon. The recently-adopted health care legislation shows a shift from the paternalistic concept of care on behalf of the right of the patient to self-determination. On the other hand, however, the principle of solidarity the basis of the health care system in the Czech Republic retains some paternalismus, and that can negatively affects the relationship of the patient to the nursing staff in some cases. The respondents are in agreement as to the notion of PCC but a single one respondent knows its concept. The possibility of putting the PCC in practice is hampered by a wide range of factors. According to the respondents, the major obstacle is the undernumerousness of the nursing staff, resulting in the omnipresent time stress. The excessive red-tape demands have been seen as the almost equally important factor, together with the lack of continuity of care, but also the fast-and-loose approach of some nurses. The evaluation of the cooperation between staff nurses at the bed and the nurses in senior positions differed. Staff nurses see the problem in cooperation with their superiors, lacking appreciation of their work. Management, i.e. head nurses and ward nurses are often seen as systemic obstacles. The research investigation also shows insufficient cooperation with the patient's family. Permanent changes in the nursing education concept are seen as a hindrance to the problem solution. Regretfully, the actual approach of a nurse often slides down from a vocation to a mere employment. Conclusion The problems identified in the healthcare system indicate a wide range of factors influencing the relations between the nursing staff and patients. Multidimensional patient care concepts and examples from our healthcare system illustrate how clinical, structural, and interpersonal factors can interact in the relations between nursing staff and patient. The PCC concept should enable any health-care provider to set ways to improvement the care rendered and to motivate the caring staff to adopting it.
