Child exposure to aerosol particles inside bicycle trailer during the usual ride
Nechvátalová, Karolína ; Bendl, Jan (advisor) ; Mašková, Ludmila (referee)
Bicycle trailers represent a popular way of transporting children during cycling, however increased exposure to aerosol particles due to the location of the trailer in the immediate vicinity of the cycle path surface and of the bike tire may pose a health risk. Some aerosol particles can cause respiratory as well as other severe diseases, since the surface of the paths may also contain toxic substances, such as those produced by traffic. Children are more prone to developing respiratory and other diseases than adults, and therefore more attention is needed. The aim of this project is to find out how many times are the concentrations of PM10, PM4, PM2,5 and PM1 aerosol size fractions and the particle number concentrations higher in the trailer in comparison to the cyclist in front of it at different driving speeds while driving on dusty roads and to confirm the hypothesis that the particles are resuspended from the surface of the road and penetrate into the trailer, which has not been quantified so far. The possible health consequences are also discussed in this project. We did three measurements on two roughly 200 m long dusty sections of cycle paths (Stromovka park, cycle path A22 in Braník) in Prague. For the measurement, the trailer (Chariot Cougar 2, Thule) and the box placed on the handlebar...

Velická, Helena ; Štípek, Stanislav (advisor) ; Bencko, Vladimír (referee) ; Rychlíková, Eva (referee)
The effect of air pollution on the incidence of asthma symptoms MUDr. Helena Velická ABSTRACT The aim of the thesis was to establish the effect of short-term ambient air pollutant concentration changes on asthma exacerbation and symptom variability. The study concerned 147 child patients (age 6 - 18 years) and 304 adult patients (age 19 - 62 years) with confirmed diagnosis of asthma. Their respiratory symptoms and other complaints were recorded in diaries during the heating season (November 2013 - February 2014) in the high- polluted industrial city of Ostrava, Czech Republic. The concentrations of PM10, NO2 and SO2 were measured and provided as smoothed daily maps. GPS coordinates of two addresses of each respondent (the residence and the school/work) were linked with the maps and 24-hour exposure of the respondents to each pollutant was determined, regarding the individuals'daily pattern. The relationships between exposures and health effects were analyzed using Generalized Additive Models (GAM) and expressed as odds ratios per 10 µg/m3 increase in the mean 24-hour exposure at the same day, and also in lag days (1-5), both separately and as moving averages (1-5). Significant associations were found between increase of one- to several days exposure to air pollutants and asthma symptom incidence both in...

Kraví hora - BUT Family silver
Davčíková, Gabriela ; Kyselka,, Mojmír (referee) ; Nový, Alois (advisor)
The subject matter of the Master's Thesis deals with the design of the Brno University of Technology (BUT) compound on Kraví hora and comes as a follow-up to the work done in the previous academic term. The aim was to combine the interests of the city of Brno and that of the Brno University of Technology (BUT); to create a common zone which would incorporate attractive park areas for the general public and a representational space for the promotion of BUT and other activities that the university has been lacking to date. The primary objective was to make the compound more accessible to the public as there are currently community gardens which stand as a barrier. The entire BUT compound is thus integrated with the neighbourhood, providing numerous public areas that are ideal for relaxation and leisure activities where people may enjoy their free time. The new buildings will offer visitors an introduction to the history and current state of the University of Technology, mainly via exhibitions and entertainment. The faculty buildings, designed as a recruitment centre and used to present student work, will perform additional functions. The current facilities will be utilized as areas for graduates in creative disciplines who will be able to rent their first art studios there. The new buildings are set in the terrain so as not to disrupt the natural aspect of the park, seamlessly blending into the surrounding landscape. Another interesting feature is an observation tower, designed to further utilize the location's potential and provide visitors with a wide view of the area, far into its surroundings.

Kolibačová, Alžběta ; Plášil, Jiří (referee) ; Boháč, Ivo (advisor)
The thesis deals with the design of the architectural study of the Caribbean pavilion in Brno Zoo. The building will be located in the area of Mniší hora on the site of today's greenhouse pavilion from the 1960s which is ending its life expectancy I designed a comprehensive pavilion presenting the tropics ecosystem, fauna and flora from the Caribbean, Central America and Amazon. The building also includes a restaurant, a view point and a sanitary facility. The study also deals with the urban design of the entire section of Caribbean in the Brno Zoo and the design of exterior furniture. The designed solution creates space for animal breeding in harmony with current zoological trends like being as close as possible to their natural environment in which man and animal are equal. It also offers other zoo features such as visitor education, a meeting place, rest and relaxation.

Večeřová, Pavla ; Hrabec, Josef (referee) ; Vojtová, Lea (advisor) ; Kalousek, Lubor (advisor)
This Bachelor’s thesis is based on an architectural study made in winter semester of the third year of bachelor study program on the topic of “Thonetova vila v Koryčanech”. The task of this study was to find out new and suitable working and spatial solution of current building of the factory owner Thonet’s family house. The building should be used for holding public events, e.g. weddings, exhibitions or public screening. Small ceremony room, wine room, exposition of Thonet and his factory for bentwood furniture are parts of the building. Two housing units for temporary living are also designed in the attic. Another part of the compound is house of culture, which is not part of this project. There is an original park in the surroundings of the family house.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in intensive care
MIČKA, Lukáš
The theoretical part of work named: "Hyperbaric oxygenotherapy in intensive care" consists of chapters releated to hyperbaroxia as a method, the hyperbaric chambers and hyperbaric oxygen. For its practical part there were created 7 targets regarding intensive care. The main purpose was an investigation of experience with effects, complications and negative consequences of the therapy. A research was also released to the part of therapeutic and nursing interventions. After that we focused on specifications of work with a child in hyperbaria and specification of hyperbaric equipment. We studied also prevention against nosocomial infection and factors which could increase a risk of stress and cause making errors by staff. To fill the target it was released a quality research investigation based on indiviual semi-structured interview. The interview included 16 questions which were answered by doctors and nurses from hyperbaric clinic in Kladno and Ostrava. To complete the studies, data analysis were used from 9 patients treated in the chamber. According the results it was comfirmed that using of this method makes visible a health profile in case of some types after each exposition. The Hyperbaroxy is considered as a safe and there are not serious complications caused by treatment for the respondents. Intervention HBO in acute care is not so different from that one in ICU. The only diference is a space condition. Specific premedication and nursing in case of the child till the age of 10 years is solved by special paediatric nurse. To release HBO therapy - it is necessary for the clinic to have a special respirator and medical ventilator for hyperbaric conditions. It was confirmed a complete sterility of hyperbaric spaces caused by keeping hygienic plan in a hospital. Factors which are increasing a risk as a stress and error exist, nevertheless keeping prevention steps by staff minimalize them. The bachelor thesis should be used as an information based on a basic inquiry about treatment, education and efficiency of the treatment in the hyperbaric chamber. That can be used by patiens thinking about care with hyperbaric oxygen as well as a future medical and nursing staff studying medical or nonmedical health branches.
