Intraspecific diversity in the ichthyofauna of the Czech Republic, its knowledge and protection
Lusk, Stanislav ; Lusková, Věra
At present, 48 fish and 2 lamprey species occur in the waters of the Czech Republic. Of these, 22 fish species are protected by law all over the country or locally, the protection of 3 fish and 2 lamprey species is conditional. For the time being, there are no legal means to protect their intraspecific (genetic) diversity. In this point, one can only utilise certain indirect measures that follow from the limits pertaining to endangered species. The available knowledge of intraspecific diversity of the fish fauna in the Czech republic is fragmentary an incoherent. That is one of the causes of the absence of legislative means to protect the intraspecific diversity. In addition, the apprehension of this phenomenon by the piscatorial public is insufficient although this diversity is the most endangered by the very fishery management. Increased research and knowledge of the intraspecific diversity of particular species is inevitable as the basis for its conservation.

The participation of the nurse in the management of pain therapy by patients with malignant disease
KUČEROVÁ, Miroslava
The topic of this diploma thesis is ?The Nurse?s Contribution to the Management of Pain Treatment of Patients with a Malignant Disease?. The first objective is to ascertain whether nurses know the specifics of care of patients suffering from a cancer pain. The second objective is to ascertain whether nurses use an analogue score to assess the cancer pain. The third objective is to ascertain whether nurses document the pain intensity. The fourth objective is to ascertain whether nurses use non-pharmacological techniques to relieve cancer pains. The fifth objective is to ascertain whether nurses know the strategy of the WHO?s pain relief ladder. The research was conducted in the form of questioning while using the technique of anonymous structured questionnaires completed by the research set consisting of nurses in selected clinical wards with a high probability of occurrence of patients with an oncologic diagnosis. The total of 360 questionnaires was distributed, of which 198 completed questionnaires were returned. 105 questionnaires (53 %) came from the regional hospital in České Budějovice, 51 (26 %) from the St. Anne?s University Hospital in Brno and 42 (21 %) from the district hospital in Tábor. The research took place in March 2012. The results were assessed under the criteria preset by the author of the thesis. Hypothesis 1: Nurses are able to provide specific nursing care to patients suffering from a cancer pain, was confirmed. Hypothesis 2: Nurses assess the pain under the available analogue scores, was confirmed. Hypothesis 3: Nurses document the pain intensity, was disconfirmed. Hypothesis 4: Nurses use non-pharmacological techniques, especially physical ones, was confirmed. Hypothesis 5: Nurses know the strategy of the WHO?s pain relief ladder, was confirmed. In connection with the addressed issue, an educational leaflet about pain monitoring was drawn up for non-medical healthcare workers. This material describes the most frequently used methods of pain assessment and will serve as an overview of individual procedures including their specifics and application possibilities. The diploma thesis may serve for extending the knowledge of nurses in the field of pain treatment management.

Problematic of nursing care about patient with long ventilation therapy
ŠAŠKOVÁ, Lenka
This thesis deals with nursing care problems of patients with a long term aspirial therapy. Thanks to progress in medicine and new modern technology, doctors manage to save more human lives, although these lives are not always of high quality. Therefore the number of clients requiring long term aspirial therapies grows. It has come out of the questionnaires that nurses can meet the needs of these patient and they also have sufficient knowledge. However they lack time to care of these patients during the nursing. This problem can be solved by adding to the number of staff but this is a financial question. There were also differences in care not only in different hospitals but also among different nurses. The solution for this situation might be setting up nursing standards and inspections of their keeping. We must not forget about nurses´ motivation to further work.

To issue of impact effects in planetary transmission systems with spur gears
Hortel, Milan ; Škuderová, Alena
The designing of gear systems with split power flow needs to be based on the perfect knowledge of dynamic phenomena in these light weekly and strongly nonlinear parametric systems. One in the notable dangerous effects of internal dynamics of such systems are impact effects due to tooth backlash existence in gear mesh. The contribution deals with simulation analysis of dynamic properties of impact effects in damping dependence for special case of system with split power flow.

Oxygen therapy after cardiothoracic surgery from the point of view of nurses and patients
VRCHOTOVÁ, Klára
Cardiac surgeries are very serious surgical procedures with considerable specific features. This bachelor thesis focuses on oxygen therapy from the viewpoints of nurses and patients. Its theoretical part describes physiology of breathing and the oxygen therapy as such. It describes individual sources of oxygen and indications for oxygen administration. It also describes principles to be observed during oxygen administration. Specific aids are used for oxygen administration, particularly oxygen masks or oxygen goggles. Quality pulmonary rehabilitation is also necessary to make oxygen therapy more effective. Pulmonary rehabilitation is particularly important for patients after a cardiac surgery and it should be practiced even before the surgery. This approach is critical because in the post-surgery period the therapy makes it possible for the patient to breathe and to expectorate properly. Pulmonary rehabilitation is practiced with patients by general nurses at the cardio surgery ward, as well as by physiotherapists. There are various techniques available to determine efficiency of oxygen therapy and pulmonary rehabilitation. The techniques may be classified as invasive and non-invasive; the most frequently used non-invasive method is pulse oxymetry and the most frequently used invasive technique is blood collection for ABR. Two objectives were set for the thesis. The first objective was to map knowledge of nurses about how to provide care to patients treated with oxygen therapy. The second objective was to determine how the patients feel after a cardiac surgery. Two hypotheses and two research questions were formulated. The first hypotheses were: Nurses working at the resuscitation care station have more knowledge about oxygen therapy than nurses working at the intermediate care station. The second hypothesis was: Nurses working at the resuscitation care station have more knowledge about pulmonary rehabilitation than nurses working at the intermediate care station. The first research question was: How do the patients feel during oxygen therapy and pulmonary rehabilitation? The second research question was: How are the patients after a cardiac surgery informed about oxygen therapy and pulmonary rehabilitation? In the research part of the bachelor thesis I have used both quantitative and qualitative research methods. Quantitative processing of data was used for questionnaires filled out by nurses working in the hospitals Nemocnice České Budějovice a.s., Nemocnice na Homolce in Prague and in the faculty hospital Královské Vinohrady in Prague. The method was used for evaluation and assessment of knowledge of nurses working at the resuscitation and intermediate care wards. Quantitative methods were used for processing of data obtained through semi-structured interviews with patients after a cardiac surgery. The data were transcribed and coded using a pencil and paper method. The data were categorized based on the identified codes. Two categories were created: oxygen therapy and pulmonary rehabilitation. Each of the categories was further divided into three sub-categories. Two categories were created for the research oxygen therapy and pulmonary therapy. Three sub-categories were subsequently created for the oxygen therapy and the pulmonary therapy. The quantitative research has shown that the knowledge of nurses about oxygen therapy is higher among the nurses working at the resuscitation care ward. However, the situation is different in case of their knowledge about pulmonary rehabilitation. In this case the knowledge of nurses working at the intermediate care ward was higher. The processed data from the qualitative research have shown that patients do have sufficient information about post-surgery oxygen therapy, as well as about pulmonary rehabilitation. For all patients in the post-surgery period after a cardiac surgery the frequency of pulmonary rehabilitation was higher than 1 per day.
