Ševčíková, Sylvie ; Eislerová, Iva (advisor) ; Heczková, Jana (referee)
This diploma thesis investigates to what degree the evaluative and measuring techniques are used when assessing separate areas of condition of a neurosurgical patient in intensive care. The reason why I have chosen this topic was the increasing demands on nurses' performance and medical documentation as well. The rating scales method enables in a standard and proved way to assess the patient's condition and document the gained data. The rating scale, when used properly, can also make nurses' work easier. The first part of this diploma thesis focuses on definitions important to this topic. The second part is focused on processing scales used for the neurosurgical patient in intensive care. I have chosen the most used methods which are used for assessment of the patient's consciousness and the extent of sedation, assessment of severity of thrombophlebitis, pressure ulcer risk assessment, assessment of nutritional status, pain and fall risk assessment, evaluation of muscle strength and final evaluation of the patient's condition. In the practical part the anonymous questionnaire was used for investigation. There were 105 questionnaires from eight wards of three different hospitals evaluated. Key words: rating scale, neurosurgical patient, intensive care unit, risks to the patient, evaluation of the patient

Inventarizace a management jedle (Abies alba Mil.) na LS Jablunkov
Jaroš, Rostislav
The thesis provides an assessment of the status of European silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) in terms of its growth potential in view of the varying environmental features of particular habitat sites. To that end, sites were selected in Písek territory within the forest district of Jablunkov. The variance range in habitat site parameters and their impact on tree growth were monitored and analysed, including the relation to their age. The assessment criteria consisted primarily in field measurements of certain dendrometric parameters of selected tree, supplemented with additional data such as tree defoliation and fructification. The data collected are compared in the thesis with analogical parameter measurements made in tree clusters for Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) H. Karst) occurring alongside the silver fir. The thesis also notes the ability and intensity of natural regeneration of silver fir and its possible impairment.

Information and Communication Technologies in the Basic School Reality
Černá, Markéta ; Walterová, Eliška (advisor) ; Fialová, Irena (referee) ; Zounek, Jiří (referee)
In its document Learning to Change: ICT in Schools published in 2001, the OECD considered information and communication technologies (hereinafter referred to as ICT) as one of the means to improve the quality and effectiveness of the education process. ICT could truly be one of the means to improve the quality and effectiveness of the education process, but only provided that we manage to define and use all positive aspects which they offer and eliminate, to the largest degree possible, all negative aspects which may occur when using them. The aim of the dissertation thesis is to contribute to the solution of this complicated task. The theoretical part of the thesis deals with the determinants influencing the implementation of ICT into education in the second stage of basic schools (lower secondary, attended by children aged 11-15 years), particularly the state information policy in education, implementation of ICT into curriculum documents, approach of schools to computer technologies, equipment of schools with computer technologies (including Internet connection), teachers' digital literacy, availability of quality teaching software and other supporting materials. The aim of the research was both the historical development and the current situation. The theoretical part is supplemented with the...

Experiance of the midwife in care of woman by childbirth of dead fetus.
ČERNÁ, Lenka
Intrauterine fetal death is a serious medical and nursing problem. Midwifes in the delivery room do not come across this diagnosis often, so the women in labour should be looked after by sufficiently experienced and educated midwives, who are well aware of the problem and are able to satisfy the needs of the woman in all its complexity. The theoretical part of the Study describes the causes of intrauterine fetal death, the symptoms, the complications, the diagnostical and therapeutical procedures. From the nursing point of view the Study focuses on midwives? care of the woman prior to the delivery, during labour, in the puerperium and in the subsequent ambulatory care. It also deals with the importance of farewell ritual with the child and with the psycho-social aspects of this problem. I have included a chapter on civil legal requirements that arise from this situation. The aim of this Study was to compare nursing care of women with stillbirth in selected maternity hospitals. I compare the midwives´ approach, ways and means of saying goodbye to the child and try to ascertain the level of awareness of the legal requirements relating to this situation amongst the midwives.Qualitative methodological approach was selected for the research. The investigation was conducted through semi-structured non-directive interviews. The results of the interviews were processed, analyzed and arranged into transparent schemes with a description. The research group consists of eight respondents from five different workplaces. The respondents were selected on the condition that they had been working in the delivery room and have experience with the care of a woman with stillbirth. Upon completing this research, the first research question could be answered. The nursing care of the woman with stillbirth is in all the facilities comparable. The midwife monitors the condition of the woman in labour and the course of the labour. All facilities make an effort to ensure the woman?s privacy, allow the partner?s presence and focus on good analgesia. Empathetic and sensitive approach to the woman is matter of course. The second research question was also answered. It was established that the farewell with the child is not facilitated in most of the monitored delivery rooms. At most workplaces the midwives do not actively offer the farewell with the child to the woman although they believe that this ritual bears great importance. The third research question can be answered that the midwives? awareness of the civil legal formalities in this area is not very high. Almost all respondents knew about the possibility to name and bury the stillborn child, but the midwives? knowledge about the maternity benefits and death allowance is not sufficient. The results of the research show that it is important to focus on improving the awareness of midwives in the care of a woman with stillbirth. The solution would be to organize a seminar on this topic. In the seminar, the midwives would acquaint themselves with the appropriate approach to the woman in labour, the possibilities of communication, about the importance of the farewell ritual with the child, the possible ways of this ritual and the information about the naming, burial and the maternity benefit. Another suitable method would be to create a training leaflet that would summarize the basic information related to this issue. This work could contribute to raising awareness amongst the midwives and thereby women in labour would receive not only professional care of their basic biological needs but also the adequate support in the psycho-social field. Midwives would become competent accompanying persons in this, for the woman very challenging time of life.

Nutrition of patients in oncology departments
FOUSKOVÁ, Diana
The title of my bachelor thesis is Nutrition of Patients in Oncology Departments. In the theoretical part, I focused on the characteristics of malnutrition cancer, its symptoms, types of tumor malnutrition, its causes and consequences. Then I mentioned and described the various changes in metabolism of an oncology patient and a diagnosis of malnutrition. In the next part I described various types of nutritional support. In the theoretical part, I also focused on cancer therapy, where I described types of cancer treatment, various side effects of cancer therapy associated with intake of food and beverages and for every undesirable side effect I stated dietary recommendations. In the last part I mentioned risk factors and prevention of cancer. The goal of the practical part of my bachelor thesis was to determine the nutritional status of hospitalized patients in oncology departments in the context of anticancer therapy. I responded to three research questions: 1. "How does the antitumor therapy affect quality and quantity of consumed food?" 2. "How often must parenteral and enteral nutrition be applied to these patients?" 3. "How does the antitumor therapy affect the patient's weight?" The method quantitative and qualitative research was used for processing of the research part. The research was conducted by creating a week's records of diet, which were recorded by hospitalized patients in two departments of oncology. The research sample consisted of 50 oncology patients. Week's records of diet were recorded by 30 patients at University Hospital in Olomouc and by 20 patients at the University Hospital in Motol, Prague. The results were processed by Nutriservis software. Values of energy, protein, fat and carbohydrates calculated by Nutriservis software were compared with the recommended values corresponding with weight and age of the patient. I also examined the number of cases of parenteral and enteral nutrition and weight loss during cancer therapy by having records of the patient's weight at the beginning of anticancer treatments and their current weight. All patients were in the second half of anticancer treatment. I learned this information from patient documentation. To be allowed to have a look into the patient's documentation I prepared informed consent form, which I had consequently signed by the patients. The processed data are interpreted using tables and graphs, which are always accompanied by commentary. I have divided patients into groups according to diagnoses for evaluation. The results show that most patients have an inadequate intake of energy and essential nutrients. Food intake of patients has shown to be dependant on the type of tumor. Patients with carcinomas of the upper digestive tract, colon and carcinomas of liver, gall bladder and pancreas have larger deficiency of energy, proteins, fats and carbohydrates in comparison to patients with genital carcinomas. Patients with carcinomas of the kidney and urinary tract have also shown a significant deficit of energy, protein, fat and carbohydrates. The nutritional support was very common, particularly to patients to whom the tumor caused obstruction of some part of their digestive tract. As for carcinomas of the upper digestive tract, PEG is implemented to most patients. Very common was providing of sipping as an addition to their normal diet and in case of major nutrition complications parenteral nutrition was also often applied. The weight loss was apparent on most the patients. How significant was the weight loss depended on the type of tumor. Adequate intake of energy, nutrients and drinks during anticancer treatment is very important for patients. In the case of formation or developement of tumor malnutrition or developement of complications associated with food intake, nutritional support should be ensured timely according to patient's individual condition.

Theory of mind in preschool children
Hončíková, Dana ; Mertin, Václav (referee) ; Šulová, Lenka (advisor)
Theory of mind, an ability to understand one's mind as well as that of others, is a prerequisite for normal functioning in the human society. It helps us explain and anticipate other people's behaviour, enables us to share meanings and understand humour and forms a base for all social interactions. Theory of mind is the comprehension of human subjectivity - the fact that it is the representation of things, not their objective state, that determines human behaviour. The ability to attribute mental states develops along with the age thanks to the maturing of cognitive structures and acquiring experience in the social area. The most significant changes of theory of mind occur in the preschool age as the child masters mental verbs and begins to understand second-order mental representations. Most researchers conclude that an important change in the quality of theory of mind takes place around the fourth year of age. It is at this time that the child begins to realize the difference between the subjective and the objective reality, which leads to understanding that our representations of the world may not be always correct and depend on our access to information. That is why the researches focusing on the development of theory of mind use a method that examines the ability to understand the false belief - the...

Czech society in the 21st century from the perspective of gender statistics
Tomsová, Tereza ; Langhamrová, Jitka (advisor) ; Holá, Bohdana (referee)
The Czech Republic has subscribed to fulfil the conclusions of the Fourth World Conference about Women held in Beijing in 1995. The state therefore took upon itself the obligations to address and resolve issues of equality between men and women. During the period of the 21st century gender equality has became one of the major issues being in the centre of attention of the Government, ministries and other state organs. The data and information divided by gender are collected, analyzed and presented by the Czech Statistical Office in gender statistics. The main objective of this thesis is, by using the available data statistics, to compare the status of men and women in selected areas, and with help of the concerned economic and social indicators, to map the situation and developments in the Czech society in the 21st century. In other word to find out where and to what extent the gender differences mainly occur. The analytical part of the thesis then investigates whether there have been any more significant after-shift, change, or development of selected indicators of gender statistics during the 21 century and, if so, in which analyzed area, what gender and to what extent.
