Comparing Awareness Students of Universities about Accidents at Nuclear Facilities in Selected Areas
JANDOVÁ, Kamila
The diploma thesis compared the awareness of university students of accidents at nuclear facilities. The aim of the thesis was to compare and assess the awareness of students of three universities in České Budějovice and one university in St. Petersburg, Russian Federation. The Czech universities concerned were the Faculty of Health and Social Sciences of University of South Bohemia, the College of European and Regional, and the Institute of Technology and Business; the Russian university was the Russian State Hydrometeorological University. First, two hypotheses were set. The aim of the first hypothesis was to find out if the students of Russian State Hydrometeorological University will have statistically significantly better knowledge about accidents at nuclear facilities than the students of the three universities in České Budějovice. The aim of the second hypothesis was to find out if the students of the Faculty of Health and Social Sciences of University of South Bohemia will have statistically significantly better knowledge about accidents at nuclear facilities than the students of the other two universities in České Budějovice. In order to achieve the set aim and to verify the hypothesis a questionnaire, comprising 15 questions, was compiled and a survey was carried out; its results were then evaluated using the methods of descriptive and mathematical statistics. The total number of 200 students from the Czech Republic and the Russian Federation took part in the survey. The first hypothesis, which compared the knowledge of the students of the Russian State Hydrometeorological University and the students of the three universities in České Budějovice, was disproved. The second hypothesis, which compared the knowledge of the students of the Faculty of Health and Social Sciences of University of South Bohemia and the students of the other two universities in České Budějovice, was approved. The results of the survey showed that there were statistically significant differences between the Russian and Czech students, and between the students of the Faculty of Health and Social Sciences of University of South Bohemia and the students of the other two universities in České Budějovice as far as their knowledge of accidents at nuclear facilities is concerned.

Research between students of selected high schools inside and outside the emergency planning zone of the Dukovany nuclear power plant in field of population protection
KOLÁŘOVÁ, Helena
Spectrum of threat types and their combination is very extensive. The essence remained for chiliads unchanged, but during the development of mankind some patterns extinct or changed their shape, other reappear. Efficient managing of emergency situations requires beside this competent specialists, organizations, systems and legislative regulations and also ready and well-informed population. Principal part of knowledge and skills in the field of inhabitants protection and behavior in the emergency situation acquire the kids on the primary and secondary level of education. This object is included in the education on the primary and secondary schools according to Instruction of Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport about the integration of the subject of protection of man in a emergency situation into the education program, r. n. 13 586/03-22, and the related appendix to the educational documents "Protection of man in emergency situations", r. n. 13 586/03-22 of the 4. march 2003. Education proceeds to the extent of at least 6 lessons in every class, most often cross-sectional within the selected school subjects. Very important role in the education of inhabitants plays Fire Rescue Service of the Czech Republic. This master thesis focuses as one of its main goals on the inquiry of the knowledge and opinions of the selected age group of 15 to 20 years old related to the behavior in the emergency situation and to the knowledge of the integrated rescue system. Another goal was to find out, if the results of the inquiry are influenced by the fact, that the school and permanent home of the student is situated within or outside the emergency planning zone of the Dukovany nuclear power plant (EPZ Dukovany NPP). The theoretical part focuses mainly on the development of the education of children and youth in the field of protection of population after 1991 and on the contemporary system of education in the field of protection of man in emergency accident on professional and grammar schools. In the experimental part of the thesis two hypothesis were set. According to H1 should at least 75 % of the students correctly answer more than half of the questions. H2 was divided into two partial hypothesis, whereas it was supposed, that between the informedness of the students of grammar schools resident and studying within EPZ Dukovany NPP or outside EPZ Dukovany NPP and the students of the professional schools resident or studying in EPZ Dukovany NPP and outside EPZ Dukovany NPP these is no statistically significant difference. Presented data were acquired on the chosen schools within and outside the EPZ Dukovany NPP in the form of questionnaire survey. Questionnaire was set together from four questions of qualitative nature and 16 questions of quantitative nature. On the grounds of the measure data it was necessary to reject the hypothesis H1, since only 21,5 % of the students answered correctly more than a half of the answers. The average achievement in the questionnaire was 41,3 % of correct answers. In the testing of parametric hypothesis was by means of comparison of the selective statistical sets proved, that the informedness of the students of both types of secondary schools is on the same level and further that there is no significant statistical difference between the informedness of grammar school students living in and outside the EPZ Dukovany NPP. The hypothesis H2 was thereafter confirmed. The results imply, that the informedness of students in the field of the protection of population is insufficient. As a suitable solution of this problem appears the education of these topic within a separate subject focused on the protection of man.

Comparison of knowledge of Secondary Hotel School students in České Budějovice and Teplice on hygiene and sanitary requirements in catering services
WEISSOVÁ, Veronika
Students of secondary hotel schools are the most likely candidates to work in catering services because of their professional specialization. Graduates may work in the hospitality or hotel industry and are qualified for a job in catering and should be able to ensure compliance in hygiene, health and safety at work. This work is focused on students of the secondary hotel schools and their awareness of hygiene requirements in food services. The work is divided into two parts. The theoretical part defines catering service, its features and types. It also includes the legislation relating to hygiene requirements in food industry, describes the spatial requirements for businesses, personal and operational hygiene and the HACCP system. The work also briefly describes different ways of food preparation and possibilities to influence health safety and the most common foodborne infections in catering services caused by failing to comply with correct manufacturing and hygiene principles. This work describes sanitation (disinfection, insect and rodent control) and the performance of state health supervision of food hygiene. The practical part includes research results which were obtained by a quantitative questionnaire method. Questionnaires were distributed amongst students of third and fourth (the final) years of secondary hotel schools in České Budějovice and Teplice. Each questionnaire contained 25 closed questions; the data collection was conducted anonymously. 106 of the 110 distributed questionnaires were returned from the Secondary Hotel School in České Budějovice. 99 questionnaires were sufficiently filled in to meet the research needs, making the return of 90%. In the Secondary Hotel School in Teplice, 98 of the 100 distributed questionnaires returned, 96 were sufficiently filled in, making the return of 96%. The aim of this work was to determine the level of awareness of the hygiene requirements in food service at secondary hotel schools in Teplice and České Budějovice. Based on the objectives of the work I set two hypotheses. Hypothesis 1: Students of secondary hotel schools in Teplice and České Budějovice are not informed about hygiene requirements in food services. Hypothesis 2: Students of secondary hotel schools in Teplice and České Budějovice who are interested in working in catering services are informed about hygiene requirements for food services more than students who are not interested in such work. After testing the two hypotheses it is evident from the results that the students of secondary hotel schools in Teplice and České Budějovice are not informed about hygiene requirements in food services and that students of secondary hotel schools in České Budějovice and Teplice who are interested in working in catering services are more informed about the hygiene requirements than students who do not intend to work in the field. Based on these findings, it is important to educate students of secondary hotel schools continually, especially about the foodborne disease issues and also, to motivate them to work in catering services, because there are more than 50% of students who do not want to advance towards working in the industry at both schools. There was almost no difference between the knowledge of students in secondary hotel schools in Teplice or České Budějovice. Students of the Secondary Hotel School in České Budějovice were slightly better an the number of correctly answered questions. Only one question, concerning the E-coli outbreak in Germany, was correctly answered by most students in Teplice. This work could serve as a teaching resource improving knowledge in this field. The outcome of this work is a flyer for the secondary hotel schools students.

Evaluation of knowledge about primary prevention of sexually transmitted diseases among students from selected four-year grammar schools in České Budějovice.
JOZOVÁ, Lucie
The title of my bachelor degree thesis is: Evaluation of knowledge about primary prevention of sexually transmitted diseases among students from selected four-year grammar schools in České Budějovice. As indicated by the title, my objective was to find out what information the students have about the issue of sexually transmitted diseases and how they protect themselves against such infections. In the theoretical part of my thesis I dealt with the current occurence of veneral diseases, their classification, legislative measures and detailed descriptions of the individual diseases. The research part of my thesis is based on an anonymous questionnaire. I have used 178 questionnaires dully filled out by students in the first and second years of four-year grammar schools. I formulated two hypotheses. The first hypothesis assumes that students get the information about the issue most frequently from media. This hypothesis has been confirmed and it demonstrates a long-term trend of an ever increasing influence of media on the young population. The second hypothesis assumes that the health education provided at schools in this field is seen by students as insufficient. This hypothesis has not been confirmed because only 35,4 % of the students evaluated the education as insufficient ( or as none at all). The result have shown that the students are not indifferent to the issue of sexually transmitted diseases (STD), however in certain areas their awareness should be increased to a necessary level. This thesis may be used for teaching purposes and its results may be used by the schools involved in the questionnaire survey as a basis for sexual education and programs of primary prevention to increase the knowledge about the issue among the students and to motivate them to a better approach to their health protection against sexually transmitted diseases.

Confrontation of the awareness of future graduate and undergraduate paramedical workers in České Budějovice of the risks inherent in sexually transmitted diseases.
FÜRSTOVÁ, Romana
Sexuality is an inseparable part of life. Apart from natural reproduction processes it enables us to deepen our relationship with a beloved person and makes it possible to share positive feelings. Unfortunately it also brings various undesirable phenomena into our lives {--} for example unwanted pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases (STD). For this reason I chose STD as a topic of my bachelor thesis. The sample for my survey consisted of future paramedical workers with secondary and university education , i.e. the students of medical subjects at the Secondary Health Care School in České Budějovice and the Faculty of Health and Social Studies of the University of South Bohemia. For them the risk of STD infection is double {--} not only in their personal life but also in terms of their future profession. Due to the fact that the topic is rather delicate, the survey was carried out on the basis of anonymous questionnaires. The questions were partly focused on concrete STD and the originator, incubation period or vaccination, and partly also on STD-related general facts. The objective of my bachelor thesis was to compare the awareness of future paramedical workers studying at the secondary school and at the university. After setting this objective I specified two hypotheses. The first hypothesis was as follows: Paramedics with university education are more aware of the threat of STD than those with secondary education. This hypothesis proved to be true. The second hypothesis: Students of medical subjects at the secondary school as well as the university are informed about a non-sexual way of STD transmission. This hypothesis was proved only among the students of the Faculty of Health and Social Studies but not among the students of the secondary school.
