Public awareness of the work of midwives
REICHLOVÁ, Markéta
This Bachelor Dissertation aims to address problems general public has in understanding of a midwife's work and midwifery profession. This is currently a hot topic due to changes in midwifery today. This work concentrates not only on public information about the work of a midwife but also on all wider aspects her work. The main aim is to map the knowledge of current public information about midwifery in general. From that knowledge a question arises: How does general public understands the role of a midwife? Work and role of the midwife is described in the theoretical part of this work and covers a period of known history to present day. A special consideration is given not only to the historical connections but also to the development of educational systems, its past and present, last but not the least, the legislation. A midwife's competences are described in terms of legislative norms currently in place in the Czech Republic as well as roles and activities of professional institutions; another section of the work is devoted to the specific aspects of the profession. This research was focused on finding the existing levels of information and knowledge, in public domain, about midwifery education, the content of a midwife's work and the areas of her involvement in healthcare. A quantitative method of research was chosen as being the most suitable for the purpose of this work. Data was acquired by using a questionnaire. The non-standardised anonymous questionnaire was aimed at adults of both sexes' without age limitations, except for the minimum age limit of 18 years. To maximise the use of the limited available time, both printed and electronic distribution was chosen to run concurrently. The research was carried out during months of February and March 2014. Research sample size was 125, 30 men and 95 women. The result of this research shows that 68 % of participants did not know that a midwife's qualifications are obtained at university, at a degree level. Knowledge ofthe range of work a midwife does is very limited. Most respondents (119) expected a midwife to be present at birth in hospital. Another, rather large section of respondents connects a midwife with care of pregnant women on antenatal courses and with teaching expectant mothers relaxation exercise techniques. A midwife's work is not generally associated with gynaecology, gynaecology ambulance service and care for the newborn. Generally, a midwife is perceived to be a doctor's assistant and helper, not as an autonomous worker making independent decisions in the medical team. It was shown also, that in reality no distinction is being made between a nurse and a midwife. One of the aims of this research was to elicit the perceptions the respondents have about the level of healthcare a midwife can offer; to find if they would be interested in having independent working midwifes and if yes, then in what areas of healthcare. Respondents had only very minimal experience with independent or private midwifes. The research has shown that it is, imperative to improve the information for general public about all aspects of midwifery. Public awareness of this is not very high. This Bachelor Dissertation has highlighted that public knowledge about midwifery is insufficient. Only when people will be sufficiently well informed about the services on offer, have awareness of a midwife's competences and knowledge of all spheres of her work, then midwifery profession will be able to extend and develop more of its services. Everyone needs to know what services are available in order to use them fully. In conclusion, this work is recommended for midwifes in active service it provides an overview of level of information people have about the service, where the weak areas are, and what are current preferred options in midwifery healthcare.

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.

The impact of the economic cycle to finance the defense of the Czech republic in years 2004-2014
Heres, Ondřej ; Chmelová, Pavla (advisor) ; Strejček, Ivo (referee)
This bachelor work examines the impact of economic performance on financing the defense sector in the Czech Republic in the years 2004-2014. The main questions are whether this influence is clear and the extent to which is essential for funding this sector. The work also provides a basic overview about development and structure of the Ministry of Defence budget in these years. The theoretical part contains theories of business cycle and public sector and briefly introduces the basic institutions that are tasked to provide a defense. The analytic part analyzes the expenditures and revenues of the Ministry of Defence and assesses their mutual influence and simultaneously the influence of GDP on these indicators. To compare with previous findings, the GPD growth rate and the growth rate of defense expenditures in selected countries of NATO are analyzed in brief in the last chapter. While findings based on data from the Ministry of Defence have rather anticyclical development of defense expenditures, in selected countries of NATO, the development is more procyclical. It highlights the very ambiguous impact of the economic cycle on expenditures in the defense sector.

Míry podobnosti pro nominální data v hierarchickém shlukování
Šulc, Zdeněk ; Řezanková, Hana (advisor) ; Šimůnek, Milan (referee) ; Žambochová, Marta (referee)
This dissertation thesis deals with similarity measures for nominal data in hierarchical clustering, which can cope with variables with more than two categories, and which aspire to replace the simple matching approach standardly used in this area. These similarity measures take into account additional characteristics of a dataset, such as frequency distribution of categories or number of categories of a given variable. The thesis recognizes three main aims. The first one is an examination and clustering performance evaluation of selected similarity measures for nominal data in hierarchical clustering of objects and variables. To achieve this goal, four experiments dealing both with the object and variable clustering were performed. They examine the clustering quality of the examined similarity measures for nominal data in comparison with the commonly used similarity measures using a binary transformation, and moreover, with several alternative methods for nominal data clustering. The comparison and evaluation are performed on real and generated datasets. Outputs of these experiments lead to knowledge, which similarity measures can generally be used, which ones perform well in a particular situation, and which ones are not recommended to use for an object or variable clustering. The second aim is to propose a theory-based similarity measure, evaluate its properties, and compare it with the other examined similarity measures. Based on this aim, two novel similarity measures, Variable Entropy and Variable Mutability are proposed; especially, the former one performs very well in datasets with a lower number of variables. The third aim of this thesis is to provide a convenient software implementation based on the examined similarity measures for nominal data, which covers the whole clustering process from a computation of a proximity matrix to evaluation of resulting clusters. This goal was also achieved by creating the nomclust package for the software R, which covers this issue, and which is freely available.
