Monitoring in Middle- and Low-Voltage distribution systems penetrated by distributed generation
Kolacia, Tomáš ; Kolář, Vladimír (referee) ; Drápela, Jiří (advisor)
This thesis concerns monitoring in Middle- and Low-Voltage distribution systems penetrated by distributed generation. Monitoring itself means measuring voltages and power flows and sending relevant data to the supervisory system. The first part of the thesis describes distribution systems with differences between individual voltage levels. The following chapter is focused on consequences of high share of renewable energy sources in distribution systems. Most of the problems are partially resolved by technical conditions for connection of the new power sources. However, difficulties with voltage regulation and uncontrolled power flows to higher voltage levels remain. These are the reasons for measuring voltages and currents in medium voltage networks. Second to last subhead of this chapter is dedicated to possible benefits of monitoring. The fourth part of the thesis deals with voltage and current sensors with their advantages and disadvantages. The best suitable devices are chosen in the end of the chapter. It is crucial to mention that sensors are only part of measuring system. Analog outputs from current or voltage transformers need to be converted to digital signal and further processed. After that required quantities are finally sent. Properties of these circuit cards are described in the sixth chapter. Following part aims to define a certain key that will determine the suitable locations for installation of the measurement. The final part of the thesis compares measured voltages and power flows from real 22 kV network with calculated values from computer program PAS DAISY Bizon.

Remote and passive speech monitoring application
Klimeš, Jiří ; Mikulec, Marek (referee) ; Kováč, Daniel (advisor)
Motor speech disorders in patients with Parkinson’s disease collectively referred to as hypokinetic dysarthria, occur in the early phase of the disease. Language plays an essential role in classifying speakers into healthy and those with dysarthria. Author explains which aspects of speech are most often affected. Then explains how mobile applications work on the Android operating system, and if it is possible to use them in passive and distant speech monitoring. Then the topic of voice call recording is described and how is it possible to implement this solution. Such application is then designed and partially developed.

Importance of Education in the Care of Patients with Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators with the Possibility of Remote Monitoring
ŠAFAŘÍKOVÁ, Iva
Remote monitoring is a type of telemedicine for patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) that has already become the standard of care; however, it requires more efficient methods of patient education. The main goals of our study were to determine the current level of knowledge of patients with ICDs regarding the use of remote device monitoring and determine if an intensive education program would be beneficial for ICD patients. 163 patients (122 men, 41 women, mean age 64?77 years) in whom a single chamber, dual chamber, or biventricular ICDs were implanted in 17.8%, 5.5%, and 76.7%, respectively, were included in the trial and followed using the Home Monitoring? (HM) system (Biotronik, Germany). Patients were randomized either into a group with standard physician-led education program (control group) or into a group with an intensive nurse-led educational program using in-person content, along with written and video material (intervention group). All education sessions were carried out during the primary hospitalization. Enrolled patients were approached the day after ICD implantation with the request to fill in a detailed questionnaire (baseline), which investigated the general and technical knowledge as well as the patient?s awareness of the clinical advantages of using an HM system. After three months of follow-up, both groups of patients were surveyed again, using the same questionnaire with the same questions. Using a different questionnaire, patient satisfaction with the provided education programs was also surveyed. Furthermore, patient opinions regarding adding a nurse educator position to daily clinical practice were also assessed.The day after ICD implantation, we found that patients had little understanding of the ICD type they had received and poorly understood the advantages of remote monitoring of their device. After the three-month follow-up, 100% of the nurse-educated group vs. 44% of the control group had a good understanding of the follow-up possibilities of their ICD (p<0.001). Altogether 88% of nurse-educated group vs. 59% of control group were able to correctly define the term ?telemedicine? (p<0.001) and the former group also demonstrated a better understanding of remote monitoring (p<0.001).The technical functions of patient units (i.e., the CardioMessengers) were also better understood by the educated vs. control group (p<0.001). Patients in the nurse-led education group were able to list and describe more clinical advantages of remote ICD monitoring than the control group (p<0.001). Regarding patient satisfaction with HM information, educated patients were more satisfied with all types of education than patients in the control group (p<0.001). Most patients assessed the educational video positively, with a mean grade of 1.2 ? 0.7 on a scale from 1 (best) to 5 (worst). The vast majority (97%) of patients, undependently of the educational program group, reported that they would ?definitely? or ?most likely? welcome receiving information on remote monitoring of their ICD devices from a qualified nurse-educator as part of routine clinical practice.Intensive education of patients regarding remote monitoring of their ICDs contributes to better overall technical knowledge of the HM system and a better understanding of telemedicine in general. It also leads to greater awareness regarding the clinical advantages of HM. However, patients not in the nurse-led education program reported that they were not satisfied with the remote monitoring education they received; most of these patients reported that they would also prefer an intensive education program led by a qualified nurse as part of routine in-hospital education regarding HM devices. Therefore, we recommend creating a nurse-led educational program in telemedicine (i.e.,remote monitoring care) for ICD patients. Such a program would guarantee the provision of timely and accurate information for ICD patients and their families.

Cost analysis of remote and in office pacemaker check ups after device replacement from the perspective of health care payer
Čurila, Karol ; Lešetický, Ondřej (advisor) ; Pažitný, Peter (referee)
Current pacemakers allow check up of their function using telemonitoring. Even so, the majority of the checks are carried out on an outpatient basis. It is not known, whether remote follow ups of the patients after pacemaker replacement would be cost-effective compared to in-office controls. A retrospective analysis of patients files of patients after pacemaker replacement in 2002-2005 in Faculty hospital of Kralovske Vinohrady was done. A total of 1407 records from the years 2002-2015 was analyzed. It was demonstrated that the vast majority (96%) of planned controls of these patients was not associated with a change of program of the pacemaker, so it could be performed remotely. Based on the obtained data a model, which compared the cost-effectiveness of outpatient and theoretically made remote controls of pacemakers was created. Using an analysis of cost minimalization, it was found that the remote controls of pacemakers, was not associated with a significant reduction of the costs compared to the ambulatory controls.

Monitoring biological activity honeybees
MACHART, Luboš
This thesis deals with monitoring the biological activity of bees. Its main part is to find and investigate the condition of the field and using questionnaire survey. This survey, I applied for a sufficient number of respondents and by its evaluation optimize and proposed appropriate solutions for monitoring the volume of honey produced in the hives. Interview I end-Rolling so that the resulting solution can be as much closer to the market and thus enable monitoring thread hives remotely as many beekeepers. Data transmission equipment so I chose according to clearly defined criteria. The resulting proposal would allow for further refinement into practice and continue research with interesting data.
