PAVLÍKOVÁ, Hana
Long-term care for the elderly people is a widely discussed topic in recent years not only among health professionals but also by the general public. And it will not change in the future. According to the Czech Statistical Office (2012) in 2050, the population aged over 65 will double and the population older than 85 years even quintuple. This work deals with long-term care for the elderly from the perspective of nursing, for the current demographic trends affect it significantly. Long-term hospitalization of the elderly in medical facilities is linked to many complications, not only physiological, but also psychological, social and spiritual. The aim of the thesis entitled "Long-term care for the elderly in nursing perspective" was to find out what the nurses in long-term care for seniors consider as the greatest problems, if they would welcome a change in competences in long-term care for the elderly, and to obtain an opinion about the long-term institutional care and long-term home care. Individual opinions of nurses from different departments were compared; what kind of solution to the current problems of long-term care for the elderly the nurses propose themselves. Objective 1: Find out what the sisters find as the most crucial problem in long-term care for seniors. Objective 2: Determine whether nurses feel the necessity for change in nursing competences in the management of long-term ill elderly. Goal 3: Find out what is the opinion of nurses about long-term institutional care for the elderly compared to long-term community care at home. The main research question based on the research problem and the research objectives was defined as follows: What is the prospect of long-term care for the elderly in terms of nursing? I decided for an exploratory approach. I was looking for another connection to general research question and examined them in depth. I decomposed this relatively broad topic covered by the research questions into several specific questions: 1. Will it be necessary to make additional changes in financing long-term care, due to a growing demographic age of the population increases? 2. Could nurses in long-term care for the elderly take over certain powers previously belonging to doctors? 3. Will the importance of providing nursing care long-term ill seniors at home increase? 4 Should be a long-term care for the elderly moved out of hospitals to specialized facilities? 5. Will it be necessary to increase the number of health care facilities with the focus on long-term care because of the growing number of senior citizens? 6. In connection with the increasing number of hospitalized elderly, will medical facilities have enough of gadgets? For the research was chosen a qualitative interview method. Nurses from various departments were interviewed and the outcomes were processed using the content analysis. Sisters? perspective on a long-term nursing care for elderly is: closer connection of health and social services, to increase quality of care, to strengthen the autonomy of elderly, dignified care for the elderly, increased use of home care and informing the general public about it, streamlining communication with seniors and their families, safer environment and to increase the motivation of nurses to provide the highest quality of nursing care.

The system and the financing system of psychiatric care in the Czech Republic in the period 2010-2016
Křížová, Natálie ; Lukášová, Tereza (advisor) ; Bartůsková, Lucia (referee)
The bachelor thesis focuses on mental health, which is becoming a socio-economic problem these days. Since there is a constant prevalence of patients with mental illnesses and thus an increase of a burden in the economic system, this work explains the system of psychiatric care, which is crucial for the future development of mental health of Czech population. Based on the analysis of the issue it is evident that the effort to manage the care system to community care will do not contribute to the reduction of treatment costs, but on the other hand, will facilitate the accessibility to psychiatric facilities for patients. The funding of psychiatric care is not based on the national health system, which influences the direction of a large part of the funds for treatment in psychiatric hospitals.

Fiscal rules in selected EU countries between 2004-2015: sensible method for consolidation of public finances or fad of politicians?
Veselý, Lukáš ; Strejček, Ivo (advisor) ; Chmelová, Pavla (referee)
The subject of fiscal rules is very topical issue. The rise of public debt in certain developed countries resulted in what is sometimes called "debt crisis". Debt of those countries which is higher than their annual gross domestic product is viewed as unpayable by some economists. The main objective of this thesis has been to prove or disprove hypothesis that the fiscal rules studied in this paper are an effective solution for public finance consolidation. This verification was based on the analysis of fiscal rules functioning in selected countries between 2004 and 2015. As per results of analysis the paper aims to give recommendations for the Czech financial constitution proposal. The actual results of inquiry proved the hypothesis. Well-chosen fiscal rules are the right way towards fiscal consolidation, provided they are observed. Fiscal rules making thus requires an emphasis to be placed on the well-formulated exit clauses altogether with prospective sanctions. The current Czech financial constitution proposal is built on the correctly picked fiscal rule type, although the reference value lacks economic sense and it would not lead, with a high degree of probability, towards fiscal consolidation.

At Resuscitation Units and Intensive Care Units nurses face the issue of dying and death every day. Very often they are in contact with the dying and their immediate family and they are expected to have professional approach and provide comprehensive care. Stress that the nurses experience in these situations results into mental, emotional and physical exhaustion, and can be manifested by psychosomatic problems. Preparation of nurses to these situations and support of their management is therefore a key factor for the management of this demanding profession. The theoretical part of the thesis contains a description of the current state of the issue, characterizes resuscitation and intensive care, and deals with the issue of death and dying in Resuscitation Units nad Intensive Care Units, managing situations associated with death and the support of nurses in these situations. The work has four goals.

Výběr a implementace open source nástroje pro řízení portfolia projektů
Marek, Jan ; Chlapek, Dušan (advisor) ; Kučera, Jan (referee)
Methods and ways of implementation of changes and innovations in companies through project management are in today's society very well established. There exists methodologies, techniques and tools for the management of individual projects. However in a role of project manager, I very often faced the fact that companies are performing the project portfolio management in very intuitive way. This in itself leads to failed and prematurely terminated projects, initiation of the wrong projects or realisation of correct projects, but at the wrong time. Very often I have also recognized, that there is lack of awareness of fact, that there are also Open Source applications that can help with the organization's portfolio. This thesis deals with the definition of requirements, search and selection of proper OSS application and subsequent implementation. In the first part of this thesis I prepare a theoretical framework about PPM, and on that basis then identify and verify a set of requirements for selection of right OSS PPM application. The next section of thesis describes searching for suitable applications from a variety of sources, assessment against the requirements and the final selection. In the last part the implementation project is drafted, which aims to serve other colleagues in project management as one of the possible implementation paths. The outputs are then continuously confronted with experts in matter of projects and project management in the field of IT in order to maximize symbiosis between theory and real life experiences. Virtually every project management methodology defines the collection of already-proven techniques, best practices or lessons learned from the previous similar implementations. The main contribution of this thesis I see in fact that it contains not only the design of the project implementation, but also describes a logical path, what leads to the result. Therefore this thesis could be used as a base or discussed best practice, when a project of implementation of PPM application in place.

Introduction to bio art
Šperanda, Nina ; SILVERIO, Robert (advisor) ; JANOŠČÍK, Václav (referee)
Bio art is a contemporary art practice that works with living organisms (except humans) or is created in cooperation with living organisms. It is relatively new art movement that is rooted deeply inside the history of evolution, domestication of animals and plants, technological discoveries, their development and science. Never before was art questioning its ethics and aesthetics in such profound, molecular and sub-molecular way.
In this work I will consider the historical influences and conditions that led to current developments in the field. I will also try to explain the problematics of defining what bio art is and try to clarify the associated terminology. Most relevant and ground breaking works in the field will be mentioned as some new recent developments.
Aesthetics of bio art is also an important subject often set aside by the ado around ethics of it. It is an extremely important subject to be considered when talking about bio art and I will try to sketch out a brief outline of it with references to philosophy and contemporary bio art theory.
