Fytochemical potencial of polyfenols contain in berries
KRUMPHANZLOVÁ, Iva
This thesis sums up findings on polyphenols and their positive influence on human health. In these fytochemicals, unlike in micronutrients, recommended daily amount cannot be estimated. Micronutrient deficiency in food can cause deficiency symptoms, while in polyphenol deficiency, the deficiency does not occur. When they are present in sufficient amount in food, it is considered functional food, which is important for civilization illnesses prevention. At the beginning of the theoretical part, the polyphenol classification from pharmacological and chemical point of view is represented. On the basis of this classification important role of antioxidants and flavonoids is described. Special attention is being paid to resveratrol, which is populardue to its well known "French paradox". The following part considers the polyphenol influence on human health. The way in which polyphenols protect our body from certain diseases is explained in detail. Most of the health benefits are supported by studies conducted on animals. These studies are also mentioned and described in this paper. In the theoretical part the process of absorption and the polyphenols safety for human body is also explained. Polyphenol sources are listed in the last subchapter. The work is mainly aimed at blueberry fruits (Vaccinium myrtillus) and vine grapes (Vitis vinifera). Other berries are briefly mentioned as well, such as cranberries, raspberries, blackberries and currant. The goal of this work is to create a diet that would provide a functional daily amount of polyphenols. This amount can be compared to 120 ml of native blueberries. Only products, consumable without cooking, are used in this diet. The second goal is to chart, which food products are adequate source of polyphenols. On the basis of these goals, research inquiries were defined. Research inquiry No. 1: What amount of polyphenols is contained in berries, especially blueberries. Research inquiry No. 2: Which food products (without cooking) are ideal to be included in diet, to provide adequate daily amount of polyphenols. To asses polyphenol content in blueberries, analysis of polyphenol content acquired through GEOMED program from Nemocnice České Budějovice a.s., department of clinical pharmacology, was used. Assessments were made using the HPLC method (high performance liquid chromatography) in cooperation with the biological centre AV ČR in České Budějovice. Thanks to this analysis, the first inquiry can be answered. An interesting phenomenon is discovered, that frozen blueberries have higher polyphenol content then cooled ones. Malvidin (malvidin-3-6"-acetoyl glycoside) was chosen as priority anthocyan since it is most represented in the blueberry. Remaining information about polyphenol content in certain food products were drawn on Joseph Maroon´s book, MD, FACS (2010). The practical part involves a diet for 14 days, which meets the given requirements. The results clearly show that it is possible to create a diet rich in polyphenols. A list of blueberry products accessible to everyone is included. Blueberry dairy products, jams, beverages, fruit salads and fruit pyre have been analysed. The list shows which product contains the most polyphenols. The required amount can be achieved by the proper combination of given products. The ideal one proved to be 200 ml of red wine and one blueberry dairy product (with the malvidin value higher than 64). Findings in this paper will serve to promote polyphenol awareness and itseffects. This diet can be used in nursing homes, where their positive influence on equilibrium can be applied. It can also be used in spas and other alimentation related facilities.

Operating procedure of worker in crisis management center in case of an extraordinary event in He administrative division of extended reference township Prachatice.
PŮBAL, Přemysl
Security of citizens is one of the fundamental responsibilities of the state. Therefore, the crisis management system in the Czech Republic is one of the forms of the population protection guaranteed by the state. During its creation and operation cooperate appropriate bodies of the public administration, as well as legal and natural persons. In this thesis the readiness of smaller administrative units is assessed, such as municipality type I. (a municipality), municipality type II. (a municipality with authorized authority ) and especially municipality type III. (a municipality with extended scope). Despite the fact that the crisis management system in the Czech Republic is constantly evolving and is also supported by the legislative side, it is largely neglected at lower levels. Activities in this area are in many cases either postponed or in worse cases considered completely useless and their implementation will not take place. In relation with the exceptional situations the municipal authorities were entrusted with certain powers to deal with such situations. But on the other hand, different levels of municipalities are not distinguished in the cases of dealing with crisis situations. Problems arise in the areas of expertise, material and human resources, especially when the municipalities type I. do not have such resources to be capable of adequately respond in the event of a crisis situation. After all, there are better conditions in municipalities with extended scope, which are able, also due to the larger budgets within its administrative area, to ensure better crisis preparedness of municipality to an exceptional or crisis situation and its subsequent solutions associated with minimizing damages and eliminate the consequences of the action of an exceptional or crisis situation.The main objective of this thesis is to characterize the crisis management system in the Czech Republic. With the help of legislation and professional literature the theoretical part is focused on the explanation of basic terms, such as crisis management, a system of integrated rescue system, emergency and crisis planning, characteristics of the exceptional and crisis situation or crisis management authorities. Furthermore, the thesis is focused on the field of crisis management at the level of municipalities with extended scope, which describes both the scope and the various municipal bodies. It addresses the individual procedures of primarily smaller local government units in the prevention of municipality preparation for exceptional situations, participation of municipality on rescue and relief works and operations implemented in connection with the population protection. At last, the theoretical part contains the financial security operations related to the preparation of exceptional or crisis situations and to the rescue and relief work implementation.To meet the objectives of the thesis were established two research questions that address both the preparedness of humanitarian worker, as well as the possibility of drafting a proposal for a methodological procedure in dealing with crisis situation.

Standards of periradicular therapy under CT control of the department of imaging in the Hospital Jihlava
DOLEŽALOVÁ, Jarmila
The topic I have chosen for my bachelor thesis is treatment of backaches. I have focused on treatment options of radicular pains. The thesis is divided into theoretical and practical part. The first part focuses on description of spinal anatomy, neuroanatomy and spine functions. Backaches belong to the most common diagnosis of not only general practitioners but also specialists. Almost everyone, at least once in their life, visits a doctor with pains related to their back. There are a lot of factors involved in the rise of backaches. The permanently developing non-vascular part of the intervention radiology helps, thanks to its therapeutic methods, with backache treatments where conservative treatment procedure is inefficient for a patient. Current medicine offers a whole range of minimally invasive treatment algorithms. One of the possible minimally invasive treatment procedures in the area of cervical and lumbar segment of the spine is a periradicular local injection. The medical treatment into intervertebral area surrounding the spinal nerve is intended and performed under regulated CT control in sterile conditions. Another newer minimally invasive method is oxygen ozone therapy. This method exploits biochemical propertiesof ozone. Minimally invasive treatment methods are being successfully carried out at the ward of imaging methods in Jihlava's hospital. The difference between the two methods presented is the contents of the curative mixture. Both methods, closely described in the theoretical part, are accessible for the patient as well as well tolerated with minimal negative reactions related to the treatment. The conclusion of the theoretical part contains the description of the indication for an examination, the contents of a particular curative mixture, the information related to contraindication of this treatment as well as possible complications and also the description of therapeutic effects it has on a patient. It includes evaluation methods and comparison from time and financial point of view and an opinion of a radiology assistant. The practical part includes a detailed procedure and performance of medical treatment where the output shows the process of local radiology standards of individual methods designed for the needs of the ward of imaging methods in Jihlava's hospital. The processed standard will improve awareness from other hospital wards about this medical treatment. Subsequently I am comparing both methods which was the given aim of this thesis. The methodology of this assignment includes the evaluation of achieved results. The observed database was a group of patients that underwent a curative therapy in 2011 to 2013. The database includes the medical treatment, the age and gender of a patient and the treated part of the spine. It also shows the overall amount of treatments divided into individual years. The final assessment was based on a total number of 668 patients and is shown in graphs and charts. The explorative question of this assignment whether the number of patients of the minimally invasive therapy will grow while their age will decrease has proved to be true. These are some of the results shown in the graphs: the overall number of patients in the observed time period of 2011 2013 grows, however in 2013 we can notice the increasing number of female patients as opposed to the decreasing number of male patients in the area of lumber spine. Dividing patients into age categories shows that the number of patients increases up to the age group of 51 to 60 years of age, after that it decreases. The above mentioned age group formed more than 35 % of all patients. Minimally invasive medical treatments performed in the spine area improve the patient's life comfort and the positive healing effect makes their physical and mental condition as good as it was before.

Tuček, Milan
The survey of May touched briefly the issue of drugs and their use in the Czech Republic. People were asked whether and how much they perceive the current situation regarding drug use to be a problem in the Czech Republic as a country, and specifically in their place of residence. Furthermore, the survey investigated whether institutions in the Czech Republic deal with the drug problem adequately, inadequately or excessively in the view of the public. The attention of research also focused on how acceptable or unacceptable in view of public opinion is the use of certain legal and illegal psychoactive substances like tobacco, alcohol, painkillers, sleeping pills or antidepressants, so-called soft drugs like hashish or marihuana and so-called hard drugs like heroin, methamphetamine or “Ecstasy”.

KUBÍČEK, Roman
The thesis deals with the application of the Lean manufacturing and Kaizen ma-nagement in processes of production and logistics management and selected tools and techniques of lean manufacturing and Kaizen management. The research of the imple-mentation of the Lean manufacturing was conducted at the production departments of the company. It is necessary to involve the processes principles.We can say, that the introduction of lean manufacturing principles and application of Kaizen management is a significant competitive advantage. The aim of tools supporting the implementation of the principles of the Lean manufacturing and Kaizen management is the elimination of wasting, improving response to customer´s demands. The keeping of the principles of company culture with the transition from the concept company to concept my (our) company. These principles are applicable to systems in the mass production and the small batch production. The some methods and tools are applicable in the area of services and public administration. We can say, that into each activity can be found reserves which are wasting about the Lean manufacturing. We are able to reduce or eli-minate them with use right tools. The subject of research are a never-ending changes the set up manufacturing processes during the implementation of Lean manufacturing and next application of Kaizen management. The changes which were done was not concern only for new set of material flow, workplace layout, leveling and optimization work, but also changes focused to thinking of people who are involved in these changes or the changes affecting them. To evaluace of the success and applicability of the newly introduced methods were set up measurable indicators and methodology of their eva-luation. The results which are presented are important for the company where the re-search was conducted. The outputs is important for other companies and recommen-dations of general application can help their further development and help to futher de-velop scientic knowledges.

Receivables and liabilities in foreign currency in the conditions of the Czech Acounting Regutations - acounting, tax ang legal aspects
ŠARLINGROVÁ, Kristýna
The aim of this bachelor thesis was to accounting in foreign currency of the accounting entity in terms of financial, tax and legal, and that provide a comprehensive view of selected issues using concrete examples from practice. A review of literature was focused on the characteristics of receivables and liabilities in relation to business partners and describes the transactions that relate to these relations. Then we had introduced at accounting of receivable and liabilities and expression of foreign currency accounts. In the practical part was description of chosen organization. Another was provided a look at accounting of receivable and liabilities, the calculation of the exchange rate differences and characterization of VAT on specific examples for 2013. Receivables and payables were divided according to the type of sales tax. For the analysis of receivables and payables was first used the rate of exchange which is the company uses. Subsequently, were expressed in the author's proposed solution. For the receivables was used quarterly exchange rate and for the proposed variant was used the daily exchange rate which is announced by the Czech National Bank to the previous day. Payables in the currency of the EU and PLN were converted at the quarterly exchange rate and subsequently, the spot exchange rate of the AKCENTA CZ. Payables in the currency USD were recalculated the spot exchange rate, and then the quarterly exchange rate. Finally was made comparison of both methods and evaluated which method is more advantageous for the company.
