Evaluation of information security in information systems
Urbanec, Jiří ; Toman, Prokop (advisor) ; Vlasta , Vlasta (referee)
Information is a valuable asset for organizations and a source of competitive advantage nowadays. Therefore it is necessary to retain information security characteristics of processes and systems in required limits and continuously evaluate the state using measurement. The problem in measurement shows to be in the selection of suitable characteristics and measures of the processes or the products, which are subject to measurement.The main aim of the dissertation thesis is to design methodic for evaluating information security in information systems and formulate conclusions and recommendations for its use in practice. The situation in The Czech Republic was obtained based on a quantitative survey in which data was collected by means of a questionnaire survey (N=785; n=101) and qualitative research was conducted in the 3 organizations from financial sector in the Czech Republic. Results showed that at present an absolute majority of surveyed organizations evaluate information systems from the perspective of risk to valuable information (58.49%). Organizations evaluating information security are most often to identify weaknesses and emerging issues (41.5%). Only a 17.6% of them measure. The designed methodic identifies behavioral model of the organization, defines measurable characteristics of the system and the organization based on extended security model, defines process of development of the measures based on GQM tool, engages measurement process compatible with ISO 27004 and presents evaluation procedure using measured values. The proposed procedures and constructs focused on improvement of field detected by the survey, the "information classification" and "difference between perception of information value between owner and processor". The procedures were validated on two anonymous organizations and are presented in form of case studies. One of the conclusions is, that proposed methodic is applicable mostly in organizations with strong technical and financial base, where it is possible to overcome requirements of measures development processes and measurement application. Also the methodic of evaluation has its own limits of applicability.

Education clients in Crohn's disease.
HAVELKOVÁ, Martina
Crohn's disease is an unspecific inflammatory disease of the intestines, which affects people regardless of age or sex. The disease is lifelong, though it follows a cycle of calm periods (remissions) and inflammatory periods (relapses). The first symptoms usually arise between year 20 and 30. There is currently no known therapy which leads to a complete recovery, though successful therapy can induce the remission stage. This therapy enables patients to return to a relatively normal lifestyle, such as they lead before the onset of the disease. We performed quantitative research by distributing 100 questionnaires to general nurses. 71 of the returned questionnaires could be used for research. The thesis is further supported by qualitative research - an in-depth dialogue with five clients with Crohn's disease. The goals of the thesis were met. We defined two hypotheses. H1: Doctors educate clients about Crohn's disease more than nurses. H2: Clients are educated about Crohn's disease more often by means of printed educational materials than direct dialogue. Neither hypothesis was confirmed. Nurses educate clients according to their competence and in close cooperation with doctors, and education takes place by means of dialogue supported by printed materials. Two research questions were also defined: 1. Do you think that upon leaving the hospital you have sufficient information about Crohn's disease? 2. What form of education do you prefer? The research showed that most respondents consider themselves sufficiently informed about Crohn's disease before leaving hospital, and prefer dialogue before printed materials. My Bachelor's Thesis is designed so it can be used as a basis for education materials which will improve communication between patients and medical personnel with respect to information about Crohn's disease.

An Analysis of the Czech Republic's Civilian Population's Awareness of Behavior in the Event of a Nuclear Weapon Attack
KRČAL, Jan
The main objective of this thesis entitled "An Analysis of the Czech Republic's Civilian Population's Awareness of Behavior in the Event of a Nuclear Weapon Attack" was to find out about the awareness of the Czech Republic's population about the pro-tection options against the effects of nuclear weapons. The introductory section contains an overview of these weapons, divided into particular types. It also contains a summary of their primary and secondary effects on the human body, and it is concluded with an overview of the recommended procedures and methods of personal protection. There are several means of improvised protection and methods of their use which are presented in this last mentioned overview, as well as recommended actions in this considered situation, beginning from the moment of warn-ing through shelter to the evacuation. There are results of the survey have been realized in the form of a questionnaire, and have been evaluated and with their graphic representation in the next part of the thesis. The part with the evaluation of the answers also contains a short comment re-garding each question and then it is concluded with a statistical evaluation. The survey respondents were divided by age into the first and the second groups; the age limit was chosen as the date of birth in 1980. The first group represented the respondents born before that year; the second group included those whose date of birth was in that year or later. This made it possible to assess the knowledge of particular generations, especially given the limited availability of information given after 1990 at the primary and secon-dary schools regarding this subject. The survey results showed that the awareness of the Czech Republic's popula-tion of the actions to be undertaken in the case of a nuclear weapon attack is signifi-cantly lower than what is necessary for effective individual protection. There is also significantly lower awareness within the generation born in or after 1980, as compared with the older generations. The solution of this unsatisfactory situation is to incorporate the issues into the lectures at the primary and secondary schools, preferably directly into the curriculum of those schools.

Social problems of the citizens of "Holýšovsko" and their consideration according the Act on Assistance in Material Need
ŽÁKOVÁ, Jana
The subject matter of bachelor thesis is focused on social problems of the Holštýnsko region citizens and assessment of those problems according to the law on aid in material distress. In the theoretical part the basic aspects of social policy, poverty, poverty management and legal regulations of the issue are outlined. The objective of the thesis was to give an overview of the structure of aid in material distress recipients in the region and to identify the effectiveness as well as the use of activation measures of the Act No. 111/2006 Coll. towards applicants for aid in material distress. Both quantitative and qualitative research was used to achieve the stated objectives of this thesis. For data collection in the quantitative research the chosen method was questioning, the technique of guided interview with 51 recipients of aid in material distress. The responses were analyzed and presented in the thesis by using graphs and tables. Within the secondary data analysis I focused on the social status of respondents, their age, unemployment duration, the living allowance period and education of respondents. On the basis of the stated objectives 2 hypotheses were set up. Hypothesis 1 assumed that most recipients of aid in material distress have only primary education. This hypothesis was not confirmed. In the Holýšov region most people affected by material distress are people with secondary vocational education holding a vocational certificate. Hypothesis 2 assumed that the concept of public service has not brought the effects expected. This hypothesis was confirmed both by the result of interviewing the recipients of aid in material distress, and by the results obtained from interviews with representatives of local authorities. In the qualitative research the method of questioning was used, the half standardized interview with nine representatives of local authorities. Due to the research used the hypothesis was set up at the end of the research. Hypothesis 3: The rise of unemployment will make local representatives establish a public service institute. The results of the thesis can be used to increase the awareness of the public as well as of local representatives on activation instruments according to the law on aid in material distress and on possibilities for citizens to obtain aid in the case of insufficient incomes. They may also serve as a source of information about the problem of providing aid in material distress for the Municipal Authority Holýšov and the Regional Authority of the Plzeň Region.

FUČÍKOVÁ, Kateřina
The goal of diploma work is to describe current state of volunteering within social rehabilitation in the facilities providing social services in the town of Benešov and the surrounding area. Partial aim of diploma work is to find out the positive effects of the project Patron which was included in the work as an example of application of volunteering within social. With regards of the above mentioned goals, two research questions were set. 1. How is volunteering within social rehabilitation being used in organisations providing social services? 2. What are the positive effects of project Patron? Quantitative strategy, questioning method, the technique of managed and semi managed interview were used for research. Set research questions were answered by means of three research sets, where the technique of semi managed interview was used and one research subject, where the technique of managed interview was used. To ascertain the first research question a research set comprising of 10 social workers employed in facilities providing social services in the town of Benešov or the surrounding area was determined. Given criteria for taking part in the research was the length of employment of social workers being more than on year in their profession. The range of questions for the first research set was prepared for the case when the facility was using the help of volunteers and not. After gaining the necessary data, interviews were rewritten and evaluated with the help of open coding process when all the data was clearly organized into each category. Results arising from data gained in the first research set show that all facilities, where the informants work, providing social services apply social rehabilitation. The research further shows that 7 out of 10 facilities for social services use volunteers who participate on social rehabilitation of their clients and they are in the direct contact with clients. Volunteers, according to gained results, work with clients individually and in groups. 5 of the facilities using the help of volunteers are considering the expansion of volunteering and thinking about other areas where they could include the work of volunteers. One of the facilities which does not use volunteers is preparing for including volunteers in their work. Second research question of diploma work was researched by the means of third research sets and one research subject. The second set comprised of 5 boys who live in children's home near the town of Benešov and who are the clients of project Patron. The third research sets comprised of 5 men who volunteer for the project Patron. To complete information about project Patron and interview with a research subject representing the manager of project Patron was made. To gain necessary data the interviews were rewritten and then evaluated. Data gained from the second and third research sets were evaluated with the help of open coding process when all the data was clearly organized into each category Information gained from research subject was based on the research technique interpreted with the help of interview transcription. Data obtained from research sets show that clients and volunteers of project Patron get to know each other during common weekends. Volunteers meet the clients approximately once or twice a month to take part in their favourite activities and to talk. The research further shows volunteers and clients have good relationships based on trust. Based on answers from all informants we can without doubt claim that project Patron has very big positive effect. Clients of the project state they are glad they gained a new adult friend because in the children's home they lack male role models. Volunteers see the positive effect of project Patron in the possibility to help boys from children's home to get to know the world with the help of adult male.

Midwife´s role in edukation of women with gestacional diabetes mellitus
PERNÍKOVÁ, Hana
Gestational diabetes mellitus is a disorder of saccharide tolerance which is diagnosed for the first time during pregnancy and usually disappears after the delivery. As non-diagnosed gestational diabetes mellitus can affect the fetus and influence subsequent delivery and post-delivery complications resulting from diabetic fetopathy of the newbom, a proactive screening of gestational diabetes is necessary during pregnancy. Gestational diabetes treatment using a special diet or low doses of insulin is not successful unless the woman is properly and systematically educated. The Bachelor Thesis called "Midwifes Role in Education of Women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus" was aimed at examining the ways in which midwives participate in education of women with gestational diabetes. The research was made using qualitative method and it was carried out through non-standardized interviews with midwives working with women suffering from gestational diabetes, and with a group of women with gestational diabetes. Four research objectives and five research questions were determined. The interviews were conducted during February and March 2010 in selected hospitals in the Czech Republic. lnterviews with women with gestational diabetes revealed differences in midwife s participation in the educational process. Women who were hospitalized during their pregnancy were only provided minimum information by the midwives. ln those cases, education was completely assumed by diabetes centres. Women who were at least once hospitalized during their pregnancy perceived the midwives as educators whom they could contact for assistance. Out of all educational materials, midwives only used text materials. None of them recommended websites. The midwives educational methods inc1uded explaining, instructing and discussion. They draw up dietary plans for women with gestational diabetes based on their own experience or educational materials provided by diabetologists. Research results showed that midwives rely very much on educating the women in diabetes centres. Based on information obtained from interviews with midwives in the other hospitals, I have drawn up an educational leaflet for women with gestational diabetes. This leaflet can be used as educational material in the antenatal-care unit of a hospital. In this way, midwives can provide women with important first information after telling them the diagnose to help them get over the period prior to visiting the diabetes centre.

Evaluation of the fire safety in the rack storage in Vysočina Region
SUK, Martin
The aim of this Bachelor's thesis titled Evaluation of Fire Safety of Rack Warehouses in Region Vysočina is to evaluate the protection of rack warehouses in region Vysočina, compare the existing situation with legislation and technical regulations, and draft measures for successful suppression of fire in a rack warehouse for a firefighting crew commander. The thesis is divided into two main parts, the theoretical part and the effective part. This thesis also contains another part, where there were outlined two research questions and introduced the research methodology, which describes the procedure of obtaining results. In the theoretical part, there is a brief outline of the history of storage and its development. There are also explained main terms related to warehouses and storage, and there is also mentioned the basic division of warehouses. Furthermore, there is also described the burning process, course of fire and its particular stages. Last chapters of the theoretical part are dedicated to fire safety and applicable regulations, description and function of fire safety equipment, that are installed in warehouses chosen for assessment. Warehouses assessed in this work were selected intentionally and according to predetermined criteria, like for example rack storage of material, area, height and installed fire safety protection equipment. In this thesis, there can be found elaboration of the assessment of five rack warehouses in region Vysočina, which meet the conditions mentioned above, and which also provided detailed information. Results of this research are divided into two parts, when each part brought an answer to one important question. In the first part, there are stated results of guided interviews with professionals in the field of warehouse design, which provided answers to one of the research questions, and that was whether rack warehouses in region Vysočina were protected against occurance of fire in accordance with valid legislation and technical regulations. This comparison simultaneously represented one of the aims of this thesis. After the evaluation of obtained information, we can say that the researched warehouses are protected against the occurance of fire with the sufficient and appropriate means, and we can even consider some fire safety elements to be oversized. While processing guided interviews with commanders and chiefs of the squads located at firefighting brigade stations in region Vysočina, it was possible to answer the second research question outlined in the resulting effective part of this Bachelor's thesis. According to the results of the research, the firefighting brigade chiefs do not have enough information from warehouse owners to fight the fire successfully. From 24 interviewed crew commanders and chiefs, 15 consider provided information insufficient. As a complication while fighting the fire, they mention confusing state of operational cards, and also the fact the the information stated in these cards are not adjusted regularly. In the case of fire emergency, in a very short time, the firefighting brigade has to orientate in a large amount of information that are not stated in the operational card. This card is very voluminous and becomes confusing. While firefighting, the presence of the contact person is always important. On the basis of all information obtained during guided interviews with crew commanders and chiefs, there was created a methodological tool, so one of the objectives of this thesis, to help the crew commanders to make firefighting easier, was fulfilled. This tool will be offered to complete the firefighting documentation for the fire brigade stations in the region that cooperated during the process of obtaining data for this Bachelor's thesis. In this methodological tool, there is implemented a brief and synoptical list of all information that are, on the basis of the research, crucial for crew commander's decision making while firefighting.

Media and their influence on delinquent behavior of children and adolescents
JANOUCHOVÁ, Veronika
The Thesis "Media and their impact on delinquent behaviour of children and youth" studies possible effects of media on children and youth who have committed an offence. The influence of media on modern societies is substantial and still increasing, which is why its affect on a human is being more and more discussed. The influence of media on children and youth seems to be particularly important. High degree of influence by external factors, including that of media belongs to the basic factors of delinquent behaviour among children and youth. This is why the Thesis tries to link these two specific areas laying in the focus of professionals as well as general public. The theoretical part first deals with the basic terms related to the influence of media on delinquent behaviour among children and youth. It also describes development and functions of media, the basic attributes of media content and media influence. There is also an insight into the legislation and authorities dealing with media activity as well as the media educational conception. The author then analyses delinquency of children and youth including the activities of a custodian. The aim of the work was to gain more detailed information on the possible impact of media on delinquent behaviour of children and youth, which is why qualitative research was chosen. Questioning methods implemented by the technique of semi-standardized interviews was used for data collection in May and June 2010. The research sample consisted of two groups of respondents. The first group consisted of seven children and young people registered by a social office and the other one of five professionals working with young people who committed offences. A case report supporting the issues in question was moreover prepared from documents conducted by a custodian. The qualitative research showed that the direct influence of media on delinquent behaviour of youth seems to be questionable, but the image shown in media might support delinquent behaviour in persons with higher risk of such behaviour. The Thesis should particularly contribute to accessibility or also extension of the information on the possible influence of media on individuals or the society as a whole in relation to young people who have committed an offence. The research results may also serve as a base for further wider research.
