Comparison of efficiency of bibliographic databases for biochemical problems
Frantíková, Dagmar ; Hudeček, Jiří (advisor) ; Hodek, Petr (referee)
The study presents a comparison between four bibliographic databases widely used in biochemistry: paid SCOPUS and Web of Science and free-accessible MEDLINE and Google Scholar. Their efficacy and suitability for solving biochemical problems was evaluated. Three model problems were chosen and entered to databases: "ellipticine", "Lowry method" and "serine racemase". The located articles in each database were then sorted by their relevance. The best results were obtained with the SCOPUS database (highest proportion of relevant results; thus database has at the same time user-friendly interface). Very good was also free MEDLINE database and if paid databases are unavailable, MEDLINE would be the right option. The best results were found with a combination of both above named databases. Also database Web of Science gave good and relevant results but was not as useful as SCOPUS or MEDLINE. The worst results in this study was given by the database Google Scholar. It would be recommended for searches of basic, not so specific problems. This database locates many articles but with questionnable proportion of relevant articles - and these have to be found manually, which would be time-consuming. Thesis in Czech.

Analysis of Information Sources for Development of Software Application for Printing Industry
Urbánek, Matyáš ; Basl, Josef (advisor) ; Lipková, Helena (referee)
Diploma work is targeted on analysis and description of information sources for software application and management information systems in printing industry. At first information needs and information overloading are shortly defined. Next are descripted concepts of printing industry, software for printing industry and relatives concepts of management information systems and workflow systems. In next chapter keywords for information retrieval was arranged in hierarchical tree structures. Core specialised journals and usefull information sources were found within information retrieval. In work are involved both deep web sources and surface web information sources. Found information object are descripted and cited by ISO 690. At the end of work are given categorised bibliographic lists and simple web page project for specialised information portal.

Analysis of Medline/PubMed
Vejvoda, Tomáš ; Papík, Richard (advisor) ; Jarolímková, Adéla (referee)
The diploma thesis examines biomedicine bibliographic databases MEDLINE and PubMed, both developed, maintained and provided by the U. S. National Library of Medicine (NLM). A general goal of thesis is offering answers to the question of historical and current importance of these resources. Text deals with a historical context of databases formation and their reflection in Czechoslovakian and Czech scientific community, what is also supported by qualitative research conducted as part of the thesis. Main part of the thesis deals with comprehensive analysis of the databases within environment formed by the NLM; analysis of systems components and PubMed graphic user interface and its query language. The thesis also presents issues of accessing databases content through third parties alternative platforms or interfaces built upon E-Utilities API. In the end, thesis offers ideas on probable development of MEDLINE and PubMed databases in the near and distant future. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Mapping of physiotherapy techniques terminology in scientific databases
Novák, Michal ; Kučerová, Helena (advisor) ; Jarolímková, Adéla (referee)
in English This Bachelors thesis is dedicated to the major bibliographic databases in physiotherapy and mapping concepts between them. Firstly, based on the amount of important scientific journals, the most important bibliographic databases were identified and then they were analysed. That brought basic information about individual databases and about system how there are documents organised. These knowledge organisation systems were examined further with increased emphasis on concepts related to physiotherapy, especially physiotherapy techniques. Each concept was mapped across the analysed bibliographic databases and presented in a scheme, which can help to make information retrieval in those databases more efficient or as a principle for further investigation of those concepts and their relationship in medical bibliographic databases.

Databases and digital libraries for pharmaceutical disciplines
Kebza, Vladimír ; Papík, Richard (advisor) ; Horváth, David (referee)
The aim of the diploma thesis is to describe and basically analyze representative databases and digital libraries that focus on pharmaceutical disciplines. The introductory chapter is concerned with related terminology, while the following chapters refer to significant subjects and principles in the field of pharmaceutical industry, and also to important classification systems and retrieval languages that can be found in some of the described resources. The fifth chapter focuses on pharmaceutical information resources which are offered by some of the world's leading database service companies. The sixth chapter contains a description and a basic analysis of 10 representative electronic resources for pharmaceutical disciplines. The empirical section of this diploma thesis consists of three major parts. One of them is a subject coverage analysis of bibliographic databases MEDLINE and EMBASE from the viewpoint of pharmaceutical information. Secondly, it contains a presentation of an indicative survey that is related to using electronic information resources by a commercial and a nonprofit subject. The last chapter deals with information brokering that is presented on example of the Medistyl company. Keywords Pharmaceutical industry, pharmacy, pharmacovigilance, factographic databases, bibliographic...

Analysis of information environment and information resources for pharmaceutical disciplines
Kebza, Vladimír ; Jarolímková, Adéla (referee) ; Papík, Richard (referee)
The aim of the rigorous thesis is to describe and basically analyze representative databases and digital libraries that focus on pharmaceutical disciplines. The introductory chapter is concerned with related terminology, while the following chapters refer to significant concepts and principles in the field of pharmaceutical industry, to important institutions that have an impact on this field, and also to important classification systems and retrieval languages that can be found in some of the described resources. The sixth chapter focuses on pharmaceutical information resources which are offered by some of the world's leading database service companies. The seventh chapter contains a description and a basic analysis of 10 representative electronic resources for pharmaceutical disciplines. The eighth chapter describes representative information resources for complementary and alternative medicine. The empirical section of this diploma thesis consists of a subject coverage analysis of bibliographic databases MEDLINE, EMBASE and BMČ from the viewpoint of pharmaceutical information, and further deals with information brokering that is presented on example of the Medistyl company.
