Social Work at the Hospital and its Impact on Patient Health
SAMCOVÁ, Pavlína
Human life is affected by illness and the loss of self-sufficiency. The aim of social work in hospitals is to help clients and their families come to terms with the problems associated with illness and to restrict and eliminate these problems. The theoretical part of the paper looks at health and illness, the needs people in hospital have, the changes that come about in the course of illness and illnesses as social events. I also look at social work in hospitals, the work of health/social workers and the theories and methods that are applied to social work in hospitals. The aim of the paper is to map out the influence of social work in hospitals on the health of patients. The main research question set out was, in what way does social work in hospitals influence the health of patients? In order to answer this question, I asked the following sub-questions: 1. What influence does social work in hospitals have on the physical side of the health of patients/clients? 2. What influence does social work in hospitals have on the mental side of the health of patients/clients? 3. What influence does social work in hospitals have on the social situation of patients/clients? 4. What methods or techniques of social work are used in social work at hospitals? The strategy of qualitative research was used to achieve the objectives set out. Questioning in the form of a semi-structured interview was the method chosen for obtaining information and questioning was supplemented by the method of monitoring. Interviews were conducted with 6 health/social workers and 15 clients/patients of such health/social workers. This paper could contribute towards an improvement in the social work services provided in hospitals and may also serve to broaden the knowledge level of the general and expert public.

The Energy policy of the Russian Federation: Present State and Prospects
Kučera, Jakub ; Lupták, Milan (advisor) ; Lisa, Aleš (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the energy policy of the Russian Federation in the period from 2000 to 2008 and its prospects until 2030. First of all, I analyse particular targets of the energy policy of Russia and put them in a broader framework. Consequently, I focus my attention on three economic targets that need to be met if Russia is to become an "energetic superpower". Firstly, I search for the answer to the question whether Russia has enough oil and gas for foreigner markets and whether it can provide for their export in order to be able to act successfully as an "energetic superpower". Secondly, whether Russia will succeed when exporting oil and natural gas to world markets and whether it will manage to diversify transport routes for its exports. Thirdly, whether the effort to "make the economy move" supported by raw-material exports has been successful and whether this situation can continue. The thesis further follows each answer to these questions in two dimensions of time. A hindsight shall first clarify how successful the energy policy of Russia was when meeting these targets until 2008, or what problems Russia had to face while trying to meet them. In consequence, this provides a basis for a foresight.

Unconvential monetary policy adopted by ECB and FED in 2008-2015
Pörner, Marek ; Šetková, Lenka (advisor) ; Ševčíková, Michaela (referee)
The main aim of this thesis is to analyse the accomplishment of the goals set, namely those of the selected unconventional monetary policies approved by the Federal Reserve System and the European Central Bank in response to the last financial crisis. With the FED the attention is focused on Quantitative Easing, whereas with the ECB it is focused on the programmes called Enhanced Credit Support, SMP, OMT and EAPP. Important parts of this thesis are also the explanation of the transmission mechanism of the unconventional monetary policy, the evaluation of macroeconomic impacts of these non-standard tools, the comparison of procedures of the two monitored central banks, but mainly the analysis of selected risks related to those tools. The principal method was an empirical analysis supported by economic studies dealing with the issues mentioned above. In the thesis it was discovered that the individual goals of the monitored programmes were achieved (with the exception of the SMP). With the programme EAPP no conlusion can be drawn because the programme has not been finished yet. Nevertheless, these non-standard tools bring certain risks such as a creation of a bubble in the markets of assets, a redistribution of wealth, a spillover effect, etc. For that reason it will be possible to evaluate the overall effect of the unconventional monetary policies only after a longer time period.

The readiness of students of the first grade of nurse to meet with the dying person
BOLKOVÁ, Ilona
Title: Preparation of First-Year Students of the General Nurse Field of Study for Dealing with a Dying Patient. Theoretical foundations: Vocational preparation for a career as a nurse is not among the easiest. Beside the considerably difficult theoretical courses, the students must also undergo many hours of practical training. During the training, the students deal with child, adult and elderly patients. Each patient experiences different problems; usually, the patients reach full recovery or at least a significant improvement. Unfortunately, even in these highly advanced times, medicine is not all-powerful and students often have to deal with a terminal patient, a patient who is dying. This situation is undoubtedly very complicated, especially for a young person. Death, as the final stage of a human life, both directly and indirectly influences life around us, and encountering death makes every person feel differently. The study of nursing care has recently transitioned to the university level. The undertaking of this type of qualification studies strives to establish an educational programme that is comparable to other countries of the European Union and to secure more efficient care for the sick. It is assumed that the higher age of the students and their higher maturity will facilitate a more mature perspective on the studies. The goal of this work: The principal goal of the bachelor thesis was to offer a comprehensive overview of the area of vocational preparation of first-year students of the General Nurse Field of study for dealing with a dying patient. Two research questions were established: How prepared are first-year students of the General Nurse Field of study for encountering a dying patient, what is their theoretical knowledge of the issue of dying? What is their assessment of their preparedness for dealing with a dying patient? With the help of these questions we aimed to find out whether the students encountered a dying patient during their first practical training and obtain an assessment of their current knowledge gained during the first semester at the Faculty of Health and Social Studies. Methodology used: To obtain information, a qualitative research was carried out that used non-standardized semi-structured interviews. The interviews were based on 18 research questions prepared up front. Ten first-year students of the General Nurse Field of study at the Faculty of Health and Social Studies in České Budějovice were approached. Before starting the interviews, the respondents were assured that their anonymity was guaranteed and that the interviews would be recorded on a voice recorder. Afterwards, they were placed into separate categories and subcategories. The research was carried out in March, 2014. Results: The results of the bachelor thesis show the real degree of preparedness of first-year students of the General Nurse Field of study for dealing with a dying patient. Answers to the main research questions were processed in detail in the research section, the set goal was met. The results showed that the theoretical knowledge of the students has significant shortcomings. Most of them lack a basic understanding of the stages of dying, of certain and uncertain signs of death and of taking care of a dead body. Nor are they sufficiently prepared for communication with a terminal patient and his or her family. Acquiring these skills should be a matter of course for exercising the profession of a nurse. Yet, the majority of the students stated that they find their training sufficient and that they consider its extension unnecessary. Most of them think that they will learn the right approach towards a dying patient while carrying out their duties and from their own experience; nonetheless, it is certainly worth considering whether it would be desirable to at least partially expand the scope of education in this particular area. Conclusion: The principal benefit of the bachelor thesis

Working in creative team versus working with directors solitaires.
Venclová, Tereza ; MATÁSEK, Petr (advisor) ; ŽIŽKA, Tomáš (referee)
In this dissertation I am concerned with my role of a stage designer in a particular creative team, whose members are: Jakub Vašíček ? director and author, Tomáš Jarkovský ? dramaturgist and author, Tereza Venclová ? stage designer, Kamil Bělohlávek ? stage designer, Ondřej Müller ? composer. In individual examples of realizations of inscenations I compare the method of working in teams and working with directors, who I call solitaires. The solitaires are: Dodo Gombár, Jiří Jelínek, Janek Jirků, Ondřej Pavelka, Ivan Ramont and Martin Tichý.
I research aspects which determine the quality of cooperation with solitaires and the team from my own experience, as well as advantages and disadvantages of working in collective.
Since I am not a theorist, I consider the creation as a focal point of my work. So that my aim is not to create a comprehensive research dealing with general rules, but to inform about how my thinking of my own creative work has been developing in the time of my studies and where I got. I believe in making a good use of this reflection in my future work.

Support of bachelor and master thesis couching
Winkler, Jakub ; Pavlíček, Luboš (advisor) ; Bartoš, Jan (referee)
Today, procedure of creating bachelor and master thesis suffers from many problems. Amongst them the main issue would consist of absence of central storage ability connected to creating and couching the thesis. In practice that would mean information about records from consultation, comments to thesis etc. are to be lost and neither student, nor his thesis couch can take a look to the history of thesis progress. Furthermore, there is a lack of date registration for consultations and deadlines of handing out thesis. As a consequence, both efficiency and quality of final thesis are decreased by such poor management. As a solution, support of whole thesis procedure with software tool is suggested. There are many options of such software solutions, however only one is the most suitable and that is exactly what this thesis is trying to find. Thesis formulates requirements for such software application, after the analysis of current situation and identification of core issues. Application should bring improvement of the situation and at the same time should be users, operational and financially acceptable. From wide spectrum of available solutions, only those which had fulfilled basic conditions were chosen. Basic conditions such as: users interface in Czech language, saving documents availability and large capacity of users accounts. Final group of potential solutions was put through detail analysis for support utility for thesis couching. This analysis finally shows the most suitable solution. This bachelor thesis brings analysis of utility for commonly available web application or hosted applications for bachelor and diploma thesis couching. The implementation could be done quickly without further problems, thanks to the undemanding IT and financial requirements of software application. After finding the most suitable solution, this thesis shows how large scale of efficiency Microsoft SharePoint Services 3.0 brings. Furthermore, at the end of this thesis, many more options for using this application are shown.
