Bouz, David ; Dušek, Libor (advisor) ; Montag, Josef (referee)
1 The Efficiency of Enforcement of Anti-covid Measures Abstract This thesis evaluates the efficiency of the enforcement of anti-epidemic measures during the covid-19 pandemic in years 2020 to 2022. Although the Czech Republic had managed the first wave of the outbreak in spring 2020 in an exemplary manner, it later showed one of the highest increases in new infection cases relative to population worldwide, as well as a rather high number of excess deaths. Why did the country become one of the most affected regions during the pandemic, even though the anti-covid measures were similar to those in other countries? One possible explanation could stem from the insufficient enforcement of existing anti-epidemic measures by governmental authorities. Based on the data provided by the administrative and police authorities in the territory of Prague for the period between March 2020 and May 2022, this thesis describes the real-life practice in terms of inspections, offence proceedings and subsequent sanctions for violations of anti-epidemic measures. The conclusions are supported by other publicly available information as well. The thesis then undertakes an analysis of the enforcement of anti-epidemic measures through the lens of the economics of crime and G. Becker's rational choice theory. The thesis concludes that...

Preparedness of selected providers of social services for emergencies with a focus on the epidemiological situation of COVID-19.
PAVELKOVÁ, Petra
The diploma thesis deals with the readiness of selected social service providers on the territory of the South Bohemian Region for dealing with extraordinary events. For the diploma thesis, social facilities providing a residential form in the territory of the South Bohemian Region were randomly selected. In these facilities, staff is the most important thing for clients, so staff should be adequately informed and prepared for emergencies. The social facilities providing the residential form include: these are homes for the elderly, homes for people with disabilities, asylum housing, halfway houses, weekly hospitals, sheltered housing and others. The first chapter of the theoretical part deals with the issue of social services. To include individual concepts related to social services, the classification of social services, without which we would find it difficult to orient ourselves in the offer of services. In the next chapter I focus on COVID-19 disease, its symptoms, spread and treatment. In the practical part of the diploma thesis, 78 facilities were addressed by random selection. 41 of the addressed facilities actively participated in the questionnaire survey. The aim of the diploma thesis was "To assess the current state of readiness of selected providers of social services in the South Bohemian region to deal with emergencies." To achieve the goal of the diploma thesis and to answer the hypothesis: "Providers of social services in the South Bohemian region are 80% ready quantitative research "was chosen, the data of which were obtained using a questionnaire survey. 78 social facilities providing a residential form in the South Bohemian Region were randomly selected for the diploma thesis. Questionnaire (Appendix 1) was distributed to social service providers, according to the register of social service providers. The questionnaire contained 38 questions. The results of the questionnaire survey were evaluated in the form of graphs, including their interpretation. A threshold has been set for assessing the awareness of social service providerssuccess rate of 80% correct answers. The results of the questionnaire survey show that the readiness of selected providers of social services in the South Bohemian region reached only 58 %, which means that social service providers are not sufficiently prepared for emergencies. The threshold of success was met in questions 1, 5a, 5b, 8, 10, 11, 13, 22, 23 a 30. Most social service providers have developed a crisis preparedness plan (question 13) and the thesis shows that social service providers are interested on the creation of a system of education and training of volunteers (question no. 36) where, however, the threshold of success was not met. The diploma thesis can be used for other study purposes.

Family life in quarantine
MARCZELLOVÁ, Lucie
This diploma thesis stems from the government directive restricting free movement of people in the Czech republic due to the health risks related to the confirmed cases of coronavirus. The effect of this directive is that people spend most of their time at home with other members of the household. Children don't go to school and parents work from home. The aim of this thesis is to explore and record how parents perceive the time spent together with children. It seeks answers to the challenges of this relationship and how it is being approached and processed. The theoretical part maps the main pedagogical and psychological constructs governing understanding of this challenge (family, institutional influence at family free time, term "scholé", meaning of family time spent together). The empirical part represents my personal research that was conducted through in-depth interviews.

(Non)cultural Czechia alias political culture during the pandemic
Tichý, František ; Hájek, Lukáš (advisor) ; Perottino, Michel (referee)
The bachelor thesis "(Non) cultural Czech alias political culture during the pandemic" deals with the political culture in the Czech Republic during the covid-19 pandemic in the period between 13th of March 2020, and 17th of December 2020. The first theoretical part deals with the interpretation of the very concept of political culture in the academic literature, but also, for example, in newspaper articles or other sources. In this respect, the author categorizes the individual definitions and approaches into a clear classification, of which one conceptualization is used in the research itself. In the second, i.e. practical part, using the materials created in the theoretical part, the work seeks to identify the level of the political culture of political representatives, more precisely members of the government, in the Czech Republic. It examines whether or not they have breached anti-epidemic measures during the specified period, and if they have, it further analyses them. This work builds on longer-term research in political culture, but also tries to bring knowledge from the new situation, the pandemic of covid-19, which is a completely unprecedented event for the 21st century.

Prevention of Nosocomial diseases in dental surgery
TESAŘOVÁ, Petra
The degree work is concentrated on basic characterization of nosocomial infections, on the prevention thereof and on the observance of antiepidemical measures in the sphere of stomatology. Although these infections were largely related to the mortality and morbidity in health service establishments in the past, their occurrence goes down significantly these days. The adoption and observance of fundamental hygienic principles and rules was of decisive importance in this sphare. The neglect of these principles can endanger the health and life of the patient seriously end bring about the increase of costs for further therapy of the patient. It is therefore necessary even at present time ot pay great attention to these diseases and to the prevention thereof. The research part of the work is devoted to the evaluation of preventive measures connected with nosocomial infections in stomatological practice. The literature search in the theoretical part follows therefore this orientation too. The theoretical part deals at first with the most frequent agents of nosocomial infections, that can be encountered. The attention is concentrated on brief characterization of these diseases, their sources and on the process of spreading. Then, the basic classification of these diseases and the concrete methods of prevention are mentioned. In the sphere of stomatology, the work resumes the basic historical relations and identifies particular sectors of this discipline. In conneciton with nosocomial infections, their impact upon the stomatology as well as the need of protection against these infections are discussed. It means epidemiological measures, importance of hand hygiene, necessity of sterilization, desinfection and of cleaning. The aim of the work is to point out the importance of prevention as to the origin and spreading of these infections and the necessity to observe the epidemical principles at the work in dental surgeries. The performed investigation resumes established facts about the observance of hygienic and epidemiological regimen and that not only as to the general judgement on problems, but in consideration of local differences, of differences in the duration of practice carried out by individual stomatologists and in relation to the frequency of conducted hygienic inspections as well. Problematic areas as to the nosocomial infections and as to the observance of decreed provisions by stomatologists are defined here. It refers also to the influence of the locality and to the frequency of inspections directed to the observance of these hygienic rules by physicians.

Prevalence Study of Occurence of Nosocomial Gastro-enteritis of Virus Etiology in the Bohnice Asylum in Years 2003-2009.
NUSLOVÁ, Aneta
The degree work is concentrated on the problems of the epidemic as to acute viral gastro-enteritides of nosocomial nature occurring in the Mental Home Bohnice in the years 2003 {--} 2009. I chose for my work the methodology of quantitative research in the form of an epidemiological descriptive study with the technique ``data collection and analysis{\crq}q. The infectious diarrhoeal affections are very current all the time and great importance in developing and even in advanced countries of the world. About 5 {--} 10 million people are dying of diarrhoea often connected with undernourishment in developing countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America per year, whereof 4,6 millions are children aged up to 5 years. The infection diarrhoeal affections in advanced countries of the world are important mainly as to their high frequency because they represent the second most frequent infection just behind the infection of air passages. The theoretical part of the work is concentrated on general characterization of the acute viral gastro-enteritis, on the process of spreading, on the most frequent aetiologic agents and on the new possibilities of diagnosis and therapy. The attention is also paid to the observance of antiepidemical measures and rules fixed in the hygienic and antiinfectious regimen, that prevent further spreading of the diseases in the case that an epidemic has broken out. In this connection, the basic profile and structure of the Mental Home Bohnice is also presented inclusive of important facts concerning the hospitalized patients. These patients form a very specific group of persons in respect to the occurrence of epidemics caused by viral diarrhoeal diseases as they are hospitalized in an isolated environment often for long term and their heath condition depends on psychiatric diagnosis. The performed investigation resumes the general judgement on the problems of epidemics caused by the acute viral gastro-enteritides in the Mental Home. It determines the most frequent aetiologic agents giving rise to this disease and analyzes these epidemics in relation to the age and sex of the patients. Another aim of the work was to explain the seasonal nature of the epidemics and to evaluate the efficiency of antiepidemical measures taken in this establishment. It is necessary to conclusion that the epidemical occurrence of viral gastro-enteritides was registered in Mental Home Bohnice even before the year 2003, but the aetiologic agents could not be specified in greater detail owing to the possibilities of virologic diagnostics being at disposal at that time.
