Žižlavská, Klára ; Brodec, Jan (advisor) ; Kučera, Zdeněk (referee)
Diploma thesis "Regulation Brussels I and other procedural legislation of European private international law" (with regards to recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters) is focused on the procedure of recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments in the European Union. The beginning of the thesis is dedicated to the European legislative development of the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments. The key part of the thesis, analysis of recognition and enforcement according to Council Regulation (EC) No 44/2001 on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters, so called Brussels I Regulation, is contained in the third chapter. This chapter describes the procedure required for recognition and enforcement of judgments given in one member state in another member state, lists related significant decisions of the Court of Justice of the European Union and provides critical evaluation of this procedure by specialists. The aim of Chapters four and five is introduction of regulations that came into force after the Brussels I Regulation. These are Regulation (EC) No 805/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 April 2004 creating a European Enforcement Order for uncontested claims and Regulation (EC) No...

A nursing issue: peripheral venous catheter
TOMÁNKOVÁ NOVÁKOVÁ, Monika
Peripheral venous catheter is used to access the venous system. It is one of the most commonly used invasive procedures in health care facilities. This procedure falls within the competence and daily tasks of nurses. Therefore this type of nursing care is susceptible to risk of proceeding routinely which might result in conscious or unconscious errors. Peripheral venous catheter needs to be introduced into the patient's vein in the following cases: planned parenteral nutrition, infusion or transfusion therapy, application of intravascular medication or contrast media, rehydration, blood sampling (which can be performed immediately after introducing the peripheral venous catheter and before administrating medication) and also during an emergency care for critically ill (such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation). Nurses should be as knowledgeable as possible about this issue so that the peripheral venous catheter can be introduced well and fulfil its purpose. It is important to ensure that nurses obtain all the necessary information about their patients before inserting the catheter and that they are able to properly inform the patients about the procedure and to communicate with them. Next, nurses should be familiar with the correct procedure for inserting catheters, they should be informed about possible contraindications and know how to choose the correct type of catheter as well as where to place it. Furthermore, nurses should care for this vascular access correctly and provide the patient with enough information about taking care of the catheter after the procedure. Finally, nurses should be aware of their own potential errors and also of possible complications. Therefore they should employ aseptic technique so that they can eliminate nosocomial infections. The thesis is divided into a theoretical and an empirical part. The theoretical part focuses on the history of peripheral venous catheters and their types, indications and contraindications, necessary equipment, nursing care, complications, etc. The empirical part consists of a research. The aim of the thesis was to map the use of peripheral venous catheters in hospitals as well as to identify factors that may lead to problems among the patients with peripheral venous catheters. Four research questions were assigned to these aims. 1. What is the procedure prior to inserting a peripheral venous catheter? 2. What are the standards of caring for patients with an inserted peripheral venous catheter? 3. In which steps of caring for peripheral venous catheters do the nurses lack knowledge? What equipment do the nurses prepare in order to insert a peripheral venous catheter? The Bachelor's thesis was conducted using a qualitative research survey. The methods of collecting data included semi-structured interviews and participant observations. The research was carried out only in one hospital ward and it was anonymous. First, the data were collected by means of a semi-structured interview. The nurses were asked 14 questions (see Appendix 8). During this interview, several more subquestions were added. The results of the interviews were then grouped into several categories for the sake of clarity. The second method of collecting data was participant observation. The observed facts were recorded into an observation sheet (see Appendix 9). The same nurses who were interviewed were also observed. This Bachelor's thesis has been written in order to provide a basic overview of the peripheral venous catheters. It could be used as an information source for more experienced as well as novice nurses. The practical output of this Bachelor's thesis is a nursing care standard concerning peripheral venous catheters. This standard was missing in the hospital ward and could help the nurses to take care of these vascular accesses, to proceed correctly and eliminate possible errors (see Appendix10).

Possibilities for NGOs to participate in implementation of projects on socio-legal protection of children.
LOJÍKOVÁ, Jitka
In recent years, the social and legal protection of children has been much discussed and talked over by the general public. To a considerable extent that is definitely a result of the upcoming amendment to the Children?s Social and Legal Protection Act No. 359/1999 Coll., which is going to bring numerous changes regarding individuals taking part in the social and legal protection of children. The opening focuses on governmental and non-governmental organisations that cooperate with families. The social and legal protection of children, its structure and historical course are analysed and the issue of child neglect as well as the procedures of the children?s social and legal protection authorities and further cooperating subjects are specified. Family redevelopment is another point which is aimed at. Important constitutional and international documents related to the social and legal protection of children are described. Last but not least, the ethical code of a social worker is mentioned, which represents one of the fundamental documents in social work. The objective of the research lay in monitoring the circumstances of the cooperation between the Children?s Social and Legal Protection Authority (OSPOD) and the non-governmental non-profit organisations (NNO) in the Regions of South Bohemia and Pilsen. The thesis analyses the effects of the cooperation between the OSPOD and NNO and compares the attained experience of the subjects taking part in family redevelopment. The research questions of the thesis focused on cooperation negotiation between the children?s social and legal protection authorities and non-governmental non-profit organisations, determining strengths and weaknesses of such cooperations. Having processed the obtained data it was found out that the form of cooperation negotiation between the OSPOD and NNO is not cohesive. It takes place upon an individual agreement between individual OSPODs and NNOs. Additionally, the strengths and weaknesses of the cooperation between the OSPOD and NNO were further specified based upon the carried out research. To complete the task, a questioning method of dialogue was selected for the research. Half-standard discussions with the workers of the children?s social and legal protection authorities as well as non-governmental non-profit organisations took place in the Regions of South Bohemia and Pilsen.

Možnosti využití metody objektově orientovaného programovaní v organizační architektuře podniků
Martinez, Felipe ; Malý, Milan (advisor) ; Fotr, Jiří (referee) ; Kubátová, Jaroslava (referee)
The procedures to establish organisational structure are the focal subject of this study. The review of literature and research components of this dissertation identify that there is lack of procedures, processes, and working guidelines to facilitate this managerial task. The creation of any of these procedures is inherently complex as is the intended organisational structure to create. Organisational theories present several models. They identify and discuss primary organisational elements but fail to propose adequate methods for structuration. The doctoral candidate confronts this void to both practitioners and academicians by means of two approaches. Firstly, it proposes a procedure to institute organisational structure founded on the Object-Oriented paradigm. Secondly, it compares and contrasts this procedure with existing processes deployed by managers, entrepreneurs, and expert-consultants. The presentation of this procedure includes a fundamental analogy for its creation; the paradigm selection and explanation (Object-Oriented); a detailled 'step by step' guide for successful implementation and concrete applications of the procedure. The review in this area is extensive and promotes analyses that are both practical as well as theoretical. This assessment promotes and develops a research based on organisational structuring experiences. It uses quantitative and qualitative tools to collect the data. The data are discrete. Various techniques are employed to illustrate findings. Bar graphs with distributions curves represent the data. The graphical and statistical analyses argue the existence of a general procedure to set up the organisational structure. In addition, the research compares the general and proposed procedures. It uses descriptive and graphical tools for the comparison. The findings corroborate the proposed procedure as a valid method to implement organisational structure. The resulting hypotheses derived from the research problem and formulated research questions are validated. This unlocks the opportunity to formally use the procedure as appropriate guidelines for structuring. It equally demonstrates the use of paradigms borrowed from other disciplines within organisational design. Additionally, the procedural knowledge is formally transferable through university course material and lectures. The benefit of the dissertation is the inclusion of the Object-Oriented paradigm within the discipline of organisational design. In doing so, it eliminates the void in this domain and offers both academicians and managers further areas of research.

Analysis of current segmentation procedures within the 3M Industry and Transportation department and recommendations for future segmentation approaches
Breitbach, Verena ; Lhotáková, Markéta (advisor) ; Cook, Gina (referee)
Abstract: The present Master thesis broaches the issue of market segmentation and its importance for the Industry and Transportation department of 3M Česko. Market segmentation has been recognized to be a very important tool for strategic marketing planning but currently, its implementation at 3M in the Czech Republic is in an early stage and therefore rather unorganized and not yet framed by precise guidelines. The hypothesis is that linking together need-based and descriptive customer behavior characteristics would lead to more effective market segmentation within the 3M Industry and Transportation department. Therefore, the goal of this paper is to first of all test if the hypothesis is right and if so develop a segmentation method that combines descriptive as well as need-based segmentation criteria. It is to be shown that such an approach could improve segmentation efforts at 3M Česko and lead to more reliable results. The question that arises is whether 3M has understood the benefits market segmentation can bring for the company. And what has to be done in order to improve clustering of customers and to increase 3M's sales volume? Can segmentation take place on one level or is a multi-layer approach the better option? The present study tries to answer these questions by comparing theoretical findings from an extensive literature review with results obtained from semistructured interviews with 3M sales and marketing managers. Above all, one of the main points for improvement in the future is the collection of more market data and the combination of primary data with secondary information already available. The interviews have shown that even though managers are aware of the difficulty to understand 3M's complex and broad market, the feeling predominates that not enough effort is put into gathering additional information. Furthermore, it is recommended to perform descriptive segmentation through the usage of industry coding on a division-wide level, whereas need-based segmentation will be subject of each division individually. Moreover, keeping track of customer data in a standardized database is the key to success. The given recommendations are divided into actions that can be undertaken in the short, medium and long run in order to reach a department-wide effective and efficient use of the multi-layer segmentation in an organized and timely manner.

Physiotherapeutic care of patient with diagnostics of the impingement syndrome
BUŘILOVÁ, Pavlína
This thesis deals with the issue of physiotherapeutical care of patients diagnosed with impingement syndrome of arteculatio humeri. Impingement syndrome means an oppression or distress in the area of arteculatio humeri. That signifies an oppression of tendon m. supraspinatus in the subacromial area.It is clinically demonstrated by pain and functional limitation of movement and is caused by an overload of rotator cuff and its oppression with traumatic changes in the area of subacromial area.The most important information from kinesiology and biomechanics of arteculatio humeri are described in the theoretical part of the thesis. The possible causes of the development of impingement syndrome in different age ranges, individual stages and possible treatment methods are included too.For the research part of the thesis I used the method of qualitative research and investigative and therapeutic methods. In the kinesiological analysis I used the investigative methods according to Janda (muscle test and the test of abbreviated muscles), investigation of arthral free play according to Rychlíková, goniometric examination, visual inspection and palpation and examination of reflective changes according to Lewit. In the proposed procedures of physiotherapy the methods of soft tissues, postisometric muscle relaxation according to Lewit (including subsequent stretching), mobilization according to Rychlíková, PNF according to Kabat, respiratory physiotherapy and kryotherapy were used. I used interviews and observations to gather the data. The research file consisted of three patients who were recommended by orthopedic doctor for the surgical solution of impingement syndrome. The whole amount of time dedicated to the actual research was two months for the first two patients and three months for the third one. The patients were informed about the progress and goal of the therapy. The goal of this work was to compile the issues of impingement syndrome and describe the theoretical foundation of the area of kinesiology of arteculatio humeri.The second goal was to describe the physiotherapeutic possibilities and its practical efficiency in the research part. At the beginning of the research, the investigatory question was chosen: Which procedure of physiotherapy is efficient? The process and results rated and judged during the operational solution of impingement syndrome of arteculatio humeri were. The therapy of two of the patients was efficient. The edema, range of movement,muscular strength was modified and the respiratory stereotype and abduction stereotype was enhanced. The third patient, who was subjected to the revision of rotator cuff, did not reach the optimal results because of the short stretch time of therapy. The first six weeks of the therapy consisted of passive movements and in the next six weeks the active exercises were introduced to affect the muscular strength and interplay when moving. The results were also affected by a fall that resulted in a fracture in the Th12 area, treated in conservative way. The period of six weeks is too short to affect the quality of movement in full range in this case. Nevertheless, the clinical state was improved according to the output examination and the therapy was evaluated as efficient. The frequency of pain was lowered and the edema, range of movement in arteculatio humeri was adjusted, the muscular strength increased and the respiratory stereotype was modified. The results of research part showed that the methods used in the therapeutic part were effective and thus the goal of the research was fulfilled. The contents of this thesis are going to be available to the physiotherapeutic public. It can be beneficial in the clinical practice because it calls attention to the impingement syndrome and the possible procedures of physiotherapy.

Proposal of Procedures for the Transformation of Accounting Data to the Tax Base in Accordance with the CCCTB
Kuchařová, Ivana ; Valder, Antonín (advisor) ; Jan, Jan (referee)
Globalisation as well as on-going integration make the authorities accelerate their harmonisation and approximation efforts not only in the field of accounting and book-keeping -- to secure harmonised interpreting of books -- but also in respect of international business entities' corporate tax. My dissertation describes the efforts of the European Commission towards full harmonisation of the process of determining the corporate tax base in respect of business entities formed as supranational groups of businesses registered in various EU member states or in combination of members from the EU and the third countries. The pending harmonisation should prevent the said entities from aggressive tax "optimisation" in the course of which they transfer their tax base to countries with the lowest income tax and abuse gaps and incomprehensiveness of tax regulation in individual EU member states. Such practice may, in some cases, result in double non-taxation thus further reducing the income of EU member states' already suffering public budgets. The EU has recognized the need to implement measures to stop this practice and will take action. One of the measures that should lead to an improvement in tax collection is the fastest introduction of a common consolidated tax base for corporate income (Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base). The genesis, structure and characterization of CCCTB has become a crucial part of the theoretical background research. Other issues that arise in connection with the introduction of the common consolidated tax base and which are addressed in this work are as follows - what similarities and differences are there between the European and national rules on accounting and taxes, which procedures will be used for a transformation of the initial accounting data presented in accordance with the national legislation to the European tax base and what impact will have these transformation processes on the final amount of the tax base.
