Barriers of hypokinetic adolecents to active lifestyle
Králová, Kateřina ; Fialová, Ludmila (advisor) ; Blahutková, Marie (referee)
Title: Barriers of hypokinetic adolecents to active lifestyle The dissertation addresses the issue of physical activity among adolescents studying at secondary vocational schools. It focuses on those students who do not meet the minimum recommended number of steps per day, i.e. inactive students. The aim of the study was to clarify the reasons which prevent them from adopting a more active lifestyle. To better understand student responses, we also examined the relationship to school physical education as a school subject that has the potential to positively influence the physical activity habits of youth. Research was carried out on a group of students 15-16 years old at secondary vocational schools (two in Prague, one in the Moravian-Silesian Region). A total of 315 students were studied. A standardized questionnaire was used to obtain information about student opinions on physical education. Sigma Activo fitness bracelets were used to monitor amount of physical activity, and a semi-structured interview was used to determine specific barriers to physical activity. According to our results, 29.5 % of students are inactive, more frequently boys. Overall, these students have a favorable view of physical education. Although the majority are satisfied with PE class, they have problems with certain...

Physiology of Blood Brain Barrier
Kellner, Patrik ; Otáhal, Jakub (advisor) ; Filipovská, Eva (referee)
This thesis takes on the theme of blood-brain barrier. Blood-brain barrier is a physiological barrier, that divides the circulatory system from brain, in place of their konfrontation. Barriers main task is to maintain homeostasis and regulate the transport of substances in both directions. The most important group of proteins, responsible for transport, are the ABC transporters. Alterations of barrier properties during the pathological states, but also the distribution of medical drugs is subject of futher investigations. Overview of the above mentioned themes will be mediated by this thesis.

Dealing of palliative care in home environment from perspective of patients and family members
BRODCOVÁ, Petra
Bachelor thesis is dealing with topic of home palliative care. The aim of the thesis is to find out how the patients and their accompanying family members are coping with providing care in the home environment. Because majority of incurable ill persons are willing to die at home with their close family members then the topic of palliative care is becoming a hot discussed topic. In general, there is being settled new centres where the patients in terminal stage of life can receive palliative care. In contrary to Czech Republic in foreign countries are the hospice services and palliative care more spread and anchored in the medical system. Nevertheless, there is aim of our Czech doctors, palliative care associations and many other organizations to contribute and set up the conditions for palliative care development. The care which should be available for all sick persons and which should offer the good quality and dignified dying to all patients. In the Bachelor thesis were set up three research questions with the focus to answer the aim of the thesis. The first research question is dealing to describe the scope of barriers which are common in the home palliative care. The second research question consists of the analysis of the needs of ill person and their accompanying family members. The third research question is targeting to describe the process of home palliative care. The research was done by method of qualified survey with the help of semi-structured interview and method of observation. The research itself was performed among eleven persons. There were five nurses employed in the home palliative care. Further on there were three patients in terminal stage of life and their three accompanying family members. The answers from interviewees were processed with the method of "pencil-paper. "The method of observation was used at the sick interviewees in the terminal stage of life where was detected what are the relations in the family, what is the patient's status and which household conditions can allow the home palliative care. Those results were continuously recorded into the Observation sheet. Based on the obtained results it is possible to mention that home palliative care can be provided in the stable and cooperating family who lives in the flat or house suitable for providing all necessary supporting equipment to the ill person and which lives in the accessible distance for the employees of home palliative care. During the interviews with the ill persons in the terminal stage of life and their accompanying person were not detected any barriers which would not allow to provide palliative care in the home environment. From the point of view of nurses are the major barriers not cooperating families, difficult communication with families and the lack of physical strength on the side of accompanying persons. Holistic view on the ill and the accompanying person allow to nurses satisfy respondent needs in all aspects, that means they care about biological-psychological-social and spiritual areas. By the listed respondents' nurses provide mainly psychological support, in the biological area they cure about the pain of ill persons. Considering the results from research survey the home palliative care has enormous success and the increasing palliative care is becoming a standard in the treatment about the patient. The results from Bachelor thesis can serve in the future in the education of next nurses.

Functional parameters of biocorridors built in fragmented cultural landscapes due to facilitation of the organism's mobility
Vaškovský, Adam ; Kovář, Pavel (advisor) ; Vojta, Jaroslav (referee)
Human caused landscape fragmentation, accompanied by loss of habitat connectivity, is currently a significant global threat to biodiversity conservation. One possible way to address this problem is to identify, establish and maintain wildlife corridors that connect isolated habitat patches to allow the movement and spread of organisms through the environment. This study based on literature review addresses the identification of relevant factors supporting functionality of wildlife corridors in various scale levels for different species or groups of organisms. Key words: biocorridor, ecoduct, barrier, landscape fragmentation, connectivity, dispersal of organisms, mobility, corridor functionality, landscape ecology

Bird mortality at transparent barriers
Houdová, Monika ; Reif, Jiří (advisor) ; Koleček, Jaroslav (referee)
Bird mortality at transparent barriers (noise barriers or common house windows) is undoubtedly very important environmental issue, because of the rapid development of human society and even more rapid growth of very dangerous places for birds. At this time there is no review article yet, that would synthesize each sub-study on the extent to which individuals can die on those obstacles, which factors are critical for the ability of obstacle avoiding, how much collision threaten the vitality of bird populations and if we can prevent such unintended damage. This bachelor thesis handle with these questions as a literary review. From the available information we can suggests that the most important factor is migration behavior of birds, individuals migrating through the night are much more at risk than those migrating during the day, mostly because of light pollution, which can confuse them. The most dangerous time of year in this direction is clearly autumn, and that also relates with migration. Population losses caused by collision to the transparent barriers can be up to 20 % of the total population per year. Thesis in addition to a summary of available information on the issue proposes and evaluates possible preventive aplications, which may further serve to effective conservation for birds among...
