CHILDREN´S HABITS CONCERNING DRINKING REGIMEN AT BASIC SCHOOLS IN THE TOWN HAVLÍČKŮV BROD
TVRDÁ, Lenka
Water is necessary for life, it forms essential part of body and many important chemical reaction takes place in it. Water intake is influenced by hypothalamus what is expressed as a feeling of thirst. Fluids are intaken especially in form of drink, less from food and metabolic processes. The biggest water release is by kindness, less by skin, respiration and stool. Insufficient water threatens by dehydratation. Child{\crq}s body is vulnerable to dehydratation more then adult{\crq}s body. In developing countries 4 -5 millions of children per year die of dehydratation per year. Smaller lack of water is expressed as higher tiredness, inattention or headache. Mucous membrane dries up and has predisposition to penetration of infection and constipation or lack of appetite can appear. Chronic absence of water can be initiatory moment for formation of cholelithiasis and renal stones. Lack of water during school teaching can decline efficiency and capability of concentration. It is well known that drinking of extra sugar beverages leads to egestion of insulin with subsequent rapid decline of blood sugar. High capacity of sugar in lemonade leads to satiety as a consequence of children refusing food. There were used two methods for data collection - direct questioning (in the first and second classes in school) and questionnaire (from the third to ninth classes). Rate of return was 100 per cent. The aim of work is survey of informedness with real children behavior. These hypothesis were verified by research. Hypothesis 1: Children are well informed. Hypothesis 2: Children disobey these information. Hypothesis were confirmed in major part of stand point. I thing that my research brought up new pieces of knowledge concerning drinking regimen at basic schools. Results can be used as basement to next research in this area and extend information concerning this problem or for preparation of prime prevention programs at basic schools.

The measure information about the osteoporosis problems by women at the age below forty years
KRÝDLOVÁ, Michaela
Abstract Osteoporosis is a skeletal disease, a disease of the bones of the body, which is characterized by a lowered amount of skeletal minerals, decrease of bone density and a changed microstructure of the bones. The effect of these changes is a lowered quality of skeletal tissues and an elevated risk of bone fractures. This risk, being very high, is directly threatening to the patient. Anybody can suffer from osteoporosis, but there are certain groups, much more at risk. The group most often affected by osteoporosis, are women in post-climacteric period of life, i.e. several years past their climacterium. The main factors causing this disease are age, gender, genetics, lack of physical activity, malnourishment, use of harmful substances (smoking, coffee, alcohol), use of some medications, certain endocrinological diseases and diseases of the digestive system, etc. Fundamental significance for prevention and treatment is an adjustment of life-style with sufficient physical activity, correct nutrition, avoiding of harmful substances such as smoking, alcohol and coffee. Regular use of vitamins and minerals as well as regular check-ups may help to prevent the disease. For this study a questionnaire was chosen for data collecting. The questionnaire created for this work included 17 closed and 8 semi-open questions. The total number of 120 questionnaires were distributed, of these 113 were returned, of which 12 were excluded for incompletelesness. The recovery of questionnaires was calculated to 84.2%. The researched group included 101 women between ages 18{--}40 from České Budějovice. The aim of the bachelor work has been accomplished. Hypothesis H1 was proved and H2 disproved. The results will be used as a basis for a seminar about problems with osteoporosis and its prevention intended for non-professionals.

General public knowledge of health awareness that too much exposure to sunlight and solarium increases the casuality rate of skin melanoma
KODETOVÁ, Věra
Harmfulness of sunrays and solariums has become a very topical problem in the recent time. Excess exposure of skin to sunlight causes premature ageing of skin, creation of deep wrinkles and geriatric stains and is especially accompanied with creation of malignant melanoma. However, people don{\crq}t take this warning seriously. A big part of them still thinks that sun exposure (and sunbathing especially) is healthy and that sunburnt body is a sign of beauty and an expression of fitness. Only the awareness of the real danger and change in bad habits in the form of adequate protection against UV radiation can prevent big damages in the near future. The number of malignant melanoma skin disorders is rising every year. The number of diagnosed melanomas in the Czech Republic has increased four times over the last years. The aim of my work is to find out, how well the public is informed about the harmfulness of sunlight and solarium and how people protects themselves against the harmful effects of UV radiation. I collected the data by the query method in the form of questionnaire filled in by students and employees of a secondary vocational school, students of a vocational college and patients of a dermatology ambulance on random screens. In total, 201 question-forms were evaluated. I assumed four hypotheses, all of which have been proved. The public is adequately informed about the harmfulness of UV radiation. In most cases, people protect themselves against the effects of sunlight using creams with protective factor and sunglasses with UV filter. My assumption that women between the ages of 20 and 40 sunbath in the sun or in a solarium for cosmetic reasons has also been proved. The inadequate awareness of preventive programmes and practises which lead to early detection of skin tumours is, however, alerting. I chose this topic because of my experience from a dermatology ambulance where I work and often meet the harmful effects of UV radiation on human skin. I will use the results of my work to educate patients about the harmful effects of UV radiation. I will especially stress the education about self-investigation of skin and about Euromelanoma day programme, which serves to early diagnose of skin tumour. As I have found out, the public lacks this information. The fact that only early detected tumour is curable is important.

Public awareness concerning problematic of dementia
GALLASOVÁ, Martina
Public awareness concerning problematic of dementia Dementia is a problem that is socially becoming a very serious topic. Consequently, with the increasing aging of the population, the number of people who are suffering from it is growing. The symptoms of dementia include a decreasing of the intellectual and memory abilities in comparison with the level on which they were acquired before the illness started. Nonetheless dementia does not include the defects in intellect and memory only; it also includes other psychical functions. For example, dementia strongly affects the person in virtually all social situations and has a big impact on the quality of the patient´s life, as well as the life of his/her family and other people that are close to them. In most cases this illness starts very slowly. Thus, diagnosing dementia in advance gives the possibility of an early start of symptomatic treatment as well as maximum use of the therapeutical procedures available nowadays. At the same time it gives patients and their family time to prepare for future health, financial and law problems. The public cannot distinguish the pathological aspects of aging from the normal aspects of aging. Consequently, the usual idea of aging is still a perception that includes forgetting, change of personality and aggression. These symptoms are not the indivisible part of aging, but they can be the symptoms of pathological process. I believe that if the public accepts this fact, it can change its attitude to the elderly. The problem is that the public is still not informed enough. Considering the facts mentioned above which I regard as important, it seems we should make an effort to find out how much the public informed about the problems of dementia. The theoretical part of this work gives the basic information about the problems of dementia. It defines dementia, its epidemiology, etiopatogenezy, and it classifies the different kinds of dementia. It also deals with differential diagnostics, risk factors, diagnostics, treatment and prevention; and it also contains chapters dealing with dementia from the social, financial and law point of view. At the same time it gives information about the present possibilities of help in the institution of social care, and it also gives the list of the organizations in the Czech Republic which offer help in the care of people suffering with dementia. In the practical part of my theses I wanted to find out how much the adult population of Písek is informed about the problems of dementia. I used a method of a standardized questionnaire that consisted of 18 questions; and the research was done on a statistically significant group of adult inhabitants of the town Písek. The total number of distributed questionnaires was 250, 220 were filled in, out of which 25 were filled in a wrong way. The final number was 195 correctly filled in questionnaires that were possible to use. The hypothesis as stated :{\crqq} The adult population in the town of Písek is not informed enough about the problems of dementia{\crqq} has been confirmed, because the respondents were informed about it enough in only 42% of the sub-questions. I believe that it is important to inform the public. It would help to prevent or lower the risk of neglecting and disregard of the warning symptoms of the pathological process of aging. I wish this theses was available to the people working in health and social services and mainly to the public. Such an availability of the material would give them well-arranged basic information about the problems of dementia.

Konkurenceschopnost malých a středních podniků České republiky po vstupu do EU
Žáčková, Kateřina ; Kambová, Anna (advisor) ; Mišovská, Soňa (referee)
Práce si klade za cíl charakterizovat faktory, které ovlivňují konkurenceschopnost malých a středních podniků České republiky. Východiskem je analýza postavení podniků v české ekonomice, která rozlišuje sektor malých a středních podniků dle velikostních tříd podniků. Malé podniky se ukazují jako nejméně výkonné (a konkurenceschopné) oproti podnikům středním a velkým. Faktory konkurenceschopnosti podniků, kterým se práce věnuje podrobněji, jsou podnikatelské prostředí v České republice, státní podpora malým a středním podnikům a informovanost podniků.
