Preparation of microbial, plant and algal extracts to use in cosmetics for infants
Janderová, Šárka ; Dzurická, Lucia (referee) ; Márová, Ivana (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the preparation of a cosmetic product for infants with the addition of active substances from cyanobacteria, microalgae, or plants. In the theoretical part, a review was made, which not only summarizes the basic information about these organisms, but also the antioxidants contained in these microorganisms. In the practical part, several types of extracts from cyanobacteria, algae and plants were prepared and characterized. The content of phenolic substances, chlorophylls and content of carotenoids were measured spectrophotometrically. Content of soluble proteins was determined by Hartree-Lowry method and the fatty acid profile in biomass was obtained by GC. Furthermore, the SPF factor was measured using the spectrophotometric method the Mansur equation. Antioxidant activity was determined by using the TEAC method. Finally, two of the best extracts were selected for the preparation of cosmetic emulsions. The sensory analysis of prepared emulsions was performed for the period of two weeks.

Changes in the concept of the child and childhood
Dluhošová, Adéla ; Hejlová, Helena (advisor) ; Opravilová, Eva (referee)
This thesis examines the changes in perception of the child and the childhood from the Early Modern Age until today. Primarily, the thesis investigates the quality of life of infants and education advice concerning the first year of age. The historic part of the thesis addresses the changes in infant treatment depending on the social status of the mother. Further, the thesis discusses the possible origin of these changes in folk traditions and examines the role of authorities by reference to historical education guide books. Moreover, the thesis points out the influence of science and rationality on the infant treatment. Given the fact that there is no summarizing research available about the infant treatment in the 20th century, the thesis analyses different infant approaches using education guide books from this time period. Using data from a survey among contemporary mothers, which investigates their beliefs about infant education including the origin of these beliefs, the thesis aims to analyse the most popular guide books among the mothers. The findings from the research are used to outline problematic aspects of the present-day motherhood. Based on the comprehension of the historical connections, the thesis discusses the profound context of different contemporary education approaches....

The morbidity of infants in connection with infant swimming
NOVOTNÁ, Eva
The infant swimming stands for harmonic movement of the infant in the water caused by effective moves which keep the swimmer afloat. However, it does not lead to mastering the basic swimming skills. During infancy, the rapid mental development, maturation of central nervous system and physical growth take place. The infants meet the diseases for the first time. These can be the infectious, respiratory, eye, skin, ear diseases, urinary tract and the digestive system diseases. Also the allergy can turn up. The infant swimming positively influences the infants, but more and more objections are stated in connection with area of risks that can cause negative impact on infant?s health. Some of the paediatricians do not recommend the infant swimming at all. The aim of this bachelor?s thesis is to explore morbidity of infants who participate in infant swimming courses. For the empirical part, the quantitative research, using questionnaires and secondary analysis data from medical records given by a general practitioner for children and adolescents, was used. The research group were children who took part in infant swimming courses. The research with questionnaire was conducted on the grounds of swimming pool of the city Jindřichův Hradec. The electronic form of the questionnaire, thanks to which the parents from the other parts of the Czech Republic were addressed, was used to enhance the research group. The survey attended 141 parents in total. The medical records contained information about 62 children who took part in infant swimming and 22 children who did not. The data are collected on children who attended the infant swimming courses a year ago. Two research questions were defined. The first defined research question: ?Is there a relationship between the stay in swimming pool and the occurrence of diseases of infants?? The source for the answer for this research question was a conducted survey. The result of this survey is that the continuity of diseases of children who attend infant swimming courses was confirmed in 5 % of cases, from which the disease did not occurred again in three cases where the swimming pool was changed for other. The most current diseases were the fever, virus infection, respiratory diseases, atopic eczema and mollusci. The second defined research question: ?Is there a relationship between a regular stay in the swimming pool and repeated occurrence of respiratory diseases and skin diseases?? For this research question, the two hypotheses were established for the statistical evaluation. Hypothesis 1: ?The infants who regularly attend the infant swimming courses do suffer a repeated occurrence of respiratory diseases in contrary to the infants who do not attend infant swimming courses.? and hypothesis 2: ?The infants who regularly attend the infant swimming courses do suffer a repeated skin diseases in contrary to the infants who do not attend infant swimming courses.? The results of the medical records of infants which included a comparison of infants attending the infant swimming courses with non-swimmers shows that regular stay in the swimming pool does not increase the risk of repeated respiratory diseases and skin diseases. Concluding from the above results, the infant swimming has no negative impact on the health of infant in case of following further conditions, for example the individual assessment of the health status of the infant, discussion of the health status of the infant with the family general practitioner and compliance the half an hour acclimatization after the infant swimming courses before entering the external environment. The results can help for the development of preventive measures before the onset of diseases associated with the infant swimming courses, help to the trainers of infant swimming and also to the doctors when deciding on the recommendations of these courses.

Physiotherapy for recurrent respiratory diseases of infants in home environment
ŽITNÍKOVÁ, Ivana
This thesis deals with physiotherapy for recurrent respiratory diseases of infants. Respiratory diseases belong to the most common childhood diseases. Therefore it is necessary to pay attention to this issue. The first two goals of this thesis are to cover an issue of respiratory physiotherapy in infants, both theoretically and practically. The third aim is to create a visual guide for parents of infants with respiratory diseases. To achieve these goals, it was necessary to study literature and to become familiar with the therapy in practice. Methods of qualitative research including direct observation techniques, casual interview with mothers, secondary analysis of data and taking photographs were applied in this research. The research group consisted of three infants with respiratory diseases, who come into the care of the pediatrician prof. MD. M. Velemínský, PhD., Dr. H. C., prof. H. C. Indirect anamneses were taken and through aspecting I assessed their postural activity. During three visits over the time horizon of 10 days, mothers of infants were gradually familiarized with the application of techniques of respiratory physiotherapy in order to realize the therapy in the home environment. On the basis of briefing I wrote a manual. I would like to inform the general public about the possibilities of this treatment. I tried to trace the responses of the infants to the application of the techniques of respiratory physiotherapy, to find a correlation between the character of their breathing and the postural activity and, last but not least, I focused on the problems that appeared during the training. This thesis can be beneficial not only for parents of the infants with respiratory diseases but also for the students of physiotherapy. I believe, that the manual I made could above all facilitate the parents of the ill children to participate on their treatment.
