Plachá, Barbora ; Kočí, Jana (advisor) ; Thorovská, Alena (referee)
The main topic and aim of this paper is to find out the effect of university study on students' perceived positivity. The Positivity Self Test by Barbara Fredrickson was used for this research. The first part of the thesis deals with mental health and the methods by which it can be promoted. The second part of the thesis describes the Positivity Self Test, which was distributed to 5 university students. Respondents completed the test four times over the course of a year, over a period of 14 days. Twice during holidays and twice during school. This test is used to assess the extent to which university study influences respondents' positivity. The results showed that during the semester, the average positivity ratio was equal to 1.04:1. Approximately for every positive emotion, there was one negative emotion during this entire period, and the overall average positivity ratio during the holidays was 1.83:1. Thus, positivity decreased by almost one positive emotion for every one negative emotion. The study concludes with recommendations for students to maintain a stable positivity ratio during a stressful period. KEYWORDS Positivity Self Test, mental health, positive emotions, university students

The monitoring of vitamin D content in the diet of university students
KALETOVÁ, Nikol
The aim of the diploma thesis was to evaluate the level of vitamin D saturation in a selected group of university students at the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice. The recorded diet method was used for the research. The research group included six men and six women aged 19-26. The research ran from the 10th February to 14th June 2020. Respondents recorded a week-long diet every second week in February, April and June. This captured possible seasonal fluctuations in the diet. Respondents recorded the amount and type of food and meals consumed. In the monitored group of respondents, vitamin D values averaged around 4.86 g per person per day. The values obtained do not correspond to the recommended daily intake of vitamin D, which according to DACH (2018) should be 20 ?g per person per day for men and women of this age category. In the group of women, the average intake of vitamin D was 3.88 g / day and in men the intake was higher, namely 5.85 g / day. The obtained levels agree with the results of other authors. Alimentary intake of vitamin D is usually in the range of 2-4 g / day, which is confirmed by the results of the diploma thesis. The lowest average daily intake was found in women to be 2.81 ?g / day and the maximum value in men on average 11.26 g / day. This value is at the level of 50% of the recommended daily intake. The main statistical finding was to demonstrate a difference in vitamin D intake between the gender. Men took more vitamin D than women. Furthermore, a positive relationship between protein and vitamin D intake was demonstrated. Last but not least, the effect of gender on protein intake was statistically significantly demonstrated. Men received more protein than women. The question dealing with the effect of the season on the intake of vitamin D from the diet has not been significantly statistically proven. In the second part, the energy intake and main nutrients were also determined, which according to the final evaluation were very unbalanced.
