Antoš, Michal ; Zeman, Martin (advisor) ; Brabec, Petr (referee)
The subject of this bachelor thesis is the research of the value of life calculation in the Czech republic, United states of America and Russia in 2007-2014.The main purpose is to analyze and compare values of life and major factors influencing them. The hypothesis is that value of life differs in selected countries due to distinctions of sections influencing them. The theoretical part is devoted to sections directly or indirectly influencing values of life, and then analyzing and comparing them together within the selected countries. The selected sections are education, health care, labor market, inequality and living standards. The practical thesis approach is to calculate the values of life for the individual states. The values of life are calculated for so called, representative individual, who is 40-years old citizen of selected country. In the period, in which is the value of life calculated, the retirement age and life expectancy are also considered in formula. Calculated values are examined and the economic and political measures are offered to the states, which can turn into significant increases in the value of life in future.

Orienteering club support system
Buk, Jindřich ; Vojíř, Stanislav (advisor) ; Sklenák, Vilém (referee)
Nowadays, an increasing number of processes and life situations is getting IT support. Often the use of the Internet aims to accelerate and simplify existing processes. In addition, there is a big area of social networking that can be complementary. This thesis deals with the possibilities of using web technologies to support the running of a club and its subsequent development. Indeed, the club has the potential to simplify and automate many processes which previously have been carried out by someone in person. It has also a potential to use social networks for its publicity and development. The aim is to first determine what areas of the clubs operations are the most appropriate to be supported by any information system. Another objective is to find out how other clubs already integrate any information systems. The final objective is to design and create a specific application. The first two objectives are addressed through a survey among the leaders of the biggest Czech clubs. Indeed in these clubs, the use of automation and simplification of existing processes could have a great potential. The proposal for a specific application is then based on the previous survey and the field experience of the author. While serving many existing processes in running the club, the proposed application adds many elements of social networking.

The GIS support to measures on the ground in case of leakage of liquid pollutant on the road
Kolejka, Jaromír ; Rapant, P. ; Zapletalová, Jana
Accidents on roads associated with the leakage of hazardous substances are one of the major challenges encountered by disaster management. Because of the impossibility of predicting the place and time of the event, then it is necessary in the event of such an accident to proceed in quick succession of steps. They are designed primarily to protect human life and health, and then to minimize to property and environment damage. The paper describes the response to this event using GIS tools and generally available geodata. The simulated accident on the D1 highway near Ostrava is applied as a demonstration example.

The use of assistive devices for patients with Bechterev disease
KULHÁNKOVÁ, Barbora
The theoretical part of the thesis describes the actual disease. It is a rheumatic disease which includes inflammatory processes located in the spinal area. The disease is also called Ankylosing spondylitis. Typical symptom of the Bechterew's disease is stiffness and consequent back pain. Successful treatment must include use of nonsteroidal antirheumatic drugs and pain-relievers. However, the most crucial element is regular physical training, which must not be avoided otherwise the client may become permanently disabled and need assistance. The successful treatment also in cludes repeated spa stays. The thesis also deals with the role of a nurse, who together with a professional team, including physiotherapists, ergotherapists and social workers, care for the client's needs as well as for his/her education and his/her family members' education. The nurse should emphasize the importance of regular physiotherapies and use of prescribed drugs to the patients with such diagnosis. The most crucial part of the thesis deals with compensation aids which allow the clients relieving pain when moving and which get the patients back in their common lives. The patients start to use the compensation aids, such as walking sticks, wheeled walkers, and hygienic aids with long handle, in advanced stages of the disease, when common movements are difficult and painful for them. Furthermore, I am writing about the possibility of renting or purchasing such aids. There are compensation-aid rental companies and shops which offer such aids. Another part of the thesis deals with compensation allowance, which the clients may receive from their insurance companies.It also describes changes in the patient's life and environment, which may occur after receiving the compensation aids. The major goal of the thesis is to describe the possibilities of usage of compensation aids by the Bechterew's patients. To reach that I have chosen two survey questions. The first one reveals the type of compensation aids the clients prefer using and the way how they get these. The latter question explores influence of the compensation aids to the clients' lives. The survey was done by qualitative research method. For this purpose, semistructured in-depth interview was conducted with clients who suffer from the Bechterew's disease and who use compensation aids for their everyday routines. The obtained information shows that the most used aids are those which we are typical for people with movement disorders. Mostly, the clients pay for their aids by themselves. Vouchers prescribed by doctors are only used to get the forearm crutches. The Bechterew's disease is still an incurable disease. It may have very serious consequences for the patients unless they execute regular physiothe rapy, repeated spa curative stays and use the medicaments. The thesis may be used as a source material for special brochures created for mobility-impaired clients.

Compartment syndrome in pre-hospital urgent care
BENEŠOVÁ, Lucie
This bachelor thesis focuses on conditions associated with compartment syndrome development in prehospital care. Pressure increase in a closed anatomical space is characteristic for this condition, leading to circulation and neural sensitivity affection in the specified area. In the prehospital care, we may meet with the compartment syndrome in fractures, burns, allergic reactions, traumas caused by an accident, electrotraumas; further in crush syndrome, traffic accidents, craniocerebral injuries and other conditions associated with swelling. This thesis focuses on burns, fractures, electrotraumas, intra-abdominal hypertension and conditions caused by snake bite. Inconsiderate or inadequate manipulation with affected patient may worsen his/her condition and lead to deterioration of his/her health condition or even fatal consequences. The aim of this thesis was to map the theoretical and practical knowledge of non-medical health care professionals working in prehospital care, in treatment of conditions able to delay compartment syndrome development or even to accelerate it. Data collection for the research was performed using questionnaires and semistandardised interviews. Questionnaires were filled by 20 randomly chosen respondents. 12 respondents were interviewed. Correct answers evaluation is listed in the tables in the practical part of this thesis. Interviews transcript is a part of the practical part as well, with colour coded correct and incorrect information provided by the interviewed medical rescuers. A sample test and list of posed questions with sub-questions are included in the attachment. Both parts of the research were performed with medical rescuers and general medicine nurses working at medical rescue services of southbohemian region and the region of Vysočina. The research found that the term of compartment syndrome is well known by medical rescuers and general nurses working at medical rescue services. However, they are not aware of its association with prehospital care. In some cases, the answers of the responders differed significantly, as for treatment of acute conditions associated with this problem, from the recommended procedures according to the literature. Furthermore, the research analysed the type and amount of used fluids in pre-hospital care. This question showed interesting findings as well. Lastly, the research analysed the options of acute fasciotomy in circular neck burns in prehospital care. The respondents interpreted this procedure as life-saving, as this condition is life-threatening for patients and quick transport without releasing incisions is very risky. It is a procedure that should be known to medical rescuers, at least at the theoretical level, and considered life-saving, even if they do not have sufficient competences to perform it. Respondents showed interest and effort for deepening of their knowledge about this procedure during the research. This situation may be improved by additional training in traumatology, surgery and intensive care not only in medical rescuers working in medical rescue services, but in students of these specialisations as well. This thesis could be a base for deeper investigation of this topic, currently insufficiently known; furthermore, for increasing specialised knowledge of medical rescuers in treatment of oedematous conditions and increasing of health care quality in prehospital acute care.

Political and social aspects of local government - public participation in the municipality affairs
Kučerová, Zuzana ; Kopřiva, Radek (advisor) ; Lenka, Lenka (referee)
The thesis deals with contemporary theories of the citizens involvement in municipal life and civic society. It works with Nekol s concept which is a typology of forms of participation. The aim of the thesis is to test the usefulness of this concept on two selected municipalities in the Czech Republic Týnec nad Labem and Krakovany.
The thesis focuses mainly of the description of participation forms and it examines the factors which influence the differences in people s participation. It shows that Nekol s concept is a useful tool in the effort to understand these differences in the two selected municipalities. The decisive distinguishing aspect is the stability of political environment. In Krakovany, the political environment is settled and is connected with the mayor, who is an important initiator of development in the town.

Fishpond management and ecological stability of fishponds -as a key water habitats of the Třeboň region
Pechar, Libor
Fishponds have an important role in the hydrological system of the Třeboň region and generally they represent the most common type of stagnant water habitat in the Czech Republic. Most of the fishponds are several hundred years old, and have therefore lost most of their man-made character. The period of intensification of fish production started in the 1930s, when liming and fertilization of the fishponds became a common practice. Since the 1930s, fish production has increased from a mean of about 50 kg ha-1 to more than 500 kg ha-1. Common carp, Cyprinus carpio L. has been the main cultivated fish species. Management for higher fish stock densities, accompanied by higher nutrient loads result in increasing trophic levels, ultimately reaching a state of 'hypertrophy'. The main symptoms of this state are the massive development of phytoplankton and cyanobacterial ' algal blooms', great fluctuations in oxygen concentrations, pH, which, in turn, destabilise the fish pond ecosystem.
