KOUBKOVÁ, Markéta
For every woman, the period of pregnancy, childbirth and puerperium is a very exceptional and crucial period of life. A woman undergoes physical, mental and social changes. Nowadays, there is a great variety of possibilities how to maintain particular information and many women are interested in the fact how to make this period pleasant and easy. Currently, many a woman has the opportunity to apply alternative methods to mitigate some difficulties connected with pregnancy, childbirth and puerperium. These methods also help to make this exceptional period more pleasant. It is aromatherapy which is popular among these methods. The theoretical part of the thesis concludes the findings of current reference books dealing with aromatherapy during the period of pregnancy, during the childbirth and the period of puerperium. It also includes the description of these phases. At the beginning of this part a reader can find a couple of words about aromatherapy and its influence on an organism, about the use of volatile oil. The following chapter is on pregnancy, and the description about the use of volatile oil during this period follows. Moreover, next part is dedicated to the work during childbirth and the aromatherapy during it, and also the description of the period of puerperium and the aromatherapy applied. The aim of the bachelor thesis was to find out how the midwives and pregnant women are informed about the possible use of aromatherapy during the periods mentioned and if they are interested in the usage of aromatherapy during these periods. Another aim of the thesis was to create a brief manual for midwives about a convenient use of aromatherapy during the periods mentioned which was based on an in-depth study of reference books and also on carrying out a research described in the practical part of the thesis. To meet the tasks of the thesis, a survey was carried out which could be divided into two parts. The first collection of data was carried out via the method of dialogues which had been designed in the way to get the opinion of midwives about using aromatherapy in the periods mentioned. The other part included distributing the questionnaires to pregnant women and women in the puerperium period. The topic in question was, due to the survey carried out, assessed positively. The midwives expressed their positive attitude towards the usage of aromatherapy during the period of pregnancy, childbirth and also during puerperium. These midwives use aromatherapy themselves which gives them the basic view. If they are interested, they can attend some lectures about this topic which were realised at their working place. The basic assumption was confirmed. As the graphs show, approximately one half of the female-respondents used aromatherapy, and nearly one half of these used the aromatherapy also during the period of pregnancy, childbirth and puerperium. Further result of the survey was that most women used this method according to some previous experience and also due to their own initiative. This confirmed the hypothesis that women who have some information about aromatherapy are interested in using it. They usually have also enough experience and also their proved cosmetic brand. It was proved that midwives offer the possibility to use volatile oil primarily at delivery rooms. What arises from the interviews is that if midwives have the possibility to offer aromatherapy actively at their working places, they use it at convenient occasions. According to the survey, aromatherapy is an appropriate, successful and also quite popular supportive method in midwifery. This bachelor thesis serves as an inspiration for midwives to get a wider perspective in some basic data about indication and contraindication to the use of volatile oil during the period of pregnancy, childbirth and also during the period of puerperium.

Analysis of the EU regulations in the field of Information and Telecommunication technologies and their effect on the single market
Hart, Ludvík ; Procházka, Pavel (advisor) ; Strejček, Ivo (referee)
The bachelor thesis describes the EU regulations in the field of information and communication technologies (ICT), particularly the Digital agenda for Europe strategy. These regulations are then tested for their influence on the European single market. The major question answered here is whether the EU regulations in field of ICT have a positive impact on the EUs single market. Answer to this question helps us evaluate the ongoing Digital agenda strategy. The impact of the regulations is analysed by induction of the following indicators, international trade, ratio of population buying online, DESI index and NRI index. With this method it is possible to tackle the wide range of fields the Digital agenda covers. I conclude this work with the statement, that European ICT regulations do have a positive impact on the single market, although are problematic due to the slow legislative process and low efficiency in addressing the regulated issue.

Do women with children have lower wage rate than childless women?
Lukášová, Nikola ; Brožová, Dagmar (advisor) ; Čermáková, Klára (referee)
The aim of the thesis is to demonstrate if women with children in the Czech Republic have a lower wage rate than childless women. The data from WageIndicator Foundation was processed by using the the least squares method. The conclusion is that motherhood has a negative impact on salaries. I also found that the depreciation of human capital influences only women with two or more children. It can be caused by the lenght of maternity leave. The main finding is that the wage penalty for motherhood actually exists. And the society and politicians should give the motherhood penalty more attention in the future.

The role of innate immunity cells in the pathogenesis of celiac disease
Dáňová, Klára ; Palová Jelínková, Lenka (advisor) ; Černý, Jan (referee)
Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease which occurs in susceptible individuals after ingestion of food containing gluten. Gluten and its monomeric fraction gliadin induce inflammatory damage of the small intestine by activating the immune cells that react strongly to gluten peptides. Gluten peptides have the ability to activate cells of adaptive as well as innate immune system. This work is focused on the production of interleukin (IL)-1 in antigen presenting cells stimulated with peptic gliadin digest. We found that monocytes and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) isolated from blood of celiac patients secrete significantly more IL-1α and IL-1β than cells of healthy donors after stimulation with gliadin digest. The gliadin-induced IL-1β expression is controlled by a signaling cascade that includes MAPK kinase family molecules and transcription factor NF-κB. Moreover, we found that the adaptor proteins MyD88 and TRIF as well as Toll-like receptor (TLR) 2 and 4 play a role in the signaling cascade underlying gliadin-induced IL-1β expression by using murine bone marrow derived dendritic cells (BMDC). The precursor form of IL-1β in gliadin- stimulated PBMC and murine BMDC is maturated by caspase-1. In celiac PBMC the gliadin- induced maturation and secretion of IL-1β depends on the potassium...

Differences between men and women in the Czech labour market
Stroukal, Dominik ; Kadeřábková, Božena (advisor) ; Pavelka, Tomáš (referee) ; Němec, Otakar (referee)
This thesis consists of five articles that apply current world research on labor economics at the Czech Republic and confirms the significant differences between men and women in this market. It shows that gender has a significant influence on the preference on the labor market and, consequently, on employment and health. First, the thesis shows that preferences are relevant determinant of career and then we study the difference in preference of salary for men and women. Subsequently it shows that gender plays a significant role in explaining the relationship between homeownership, and unemployment, as well as unemployment and health. The first chapter was able to demonstrate that the preference for a career has a positive influence on the choice of career. The influence of higher education on prioritizing career proved to be positive and significant. Probability of a career choice is reduced by the presence of children, however, is not dependent on their number, which is contrary to the theory of preferences. The second chapter shows that Czech women prefer more non-monetary rewards than men. It has also been shown that people with university education are same in the preferences of non-monetary rewards regardless of the gender of the respondents, however, compared to the world's research, the Czech higher education increases this preference. It turned out that women prefer risk less than men. The third chapter demonstrates that although the housing market undermines labor mobility and employment in the Czech Republic at the regional level, therefore, that in regions with a higher rate of home ownership is higher unemployment, at the individual level, the owners of housing are unemployed are less likely. The estimates are significantly different for men and women. Men living in owner-occupied housing have a higher likelihood of employment than women. At regional level, however, this thesis shows that the high rate of home ownership increases unemployment for both men and women, in the long run only to women. The fourth chapter showed that men transition to homeownership reduces the likelihood of unemployment next year. For women, this relationship has proved to be insignificant. In addition, as insignificant showed the opposite relationship, the transition from unemployment to the newly acquired home ownership. The last chapter shows that the change in the working status to unemployment will increase in the future probability of worse health. Influence in less than two years, however, proved to be significant. An important conclusion is that men have a significantly stronger relationship between health and unemployment than women.
