Availability of rehabilitation and compensation aids for persons with rheumatoid arthritis.
KUBALOVÁ, Zuzana
The bachelor degree thesis ?Availability of rehabilitation and compensation aids for persons with rheumatoid arthritis? has a research character. The thesis is divided into theoretical and practical parts. The theoretical part deals with a comprehensive characterization of rheumatoid arthritis. Further, it presents methods of diagnostics and treatment of the disease. It also outlines issues relating to the needs of patients afflicted by the disease. It also includes a chapter dealing with compensation and rehabilitation aids that improve quality of life and integration of the patients into the society. The practical part deals with availability of compensation and rehabilitation aids on the current market, along with a financial participation of the patients. Three objectives have been set relating to the topic. The first objective was to map the offer of compensation and rehabilitation aids in connection with the demand on the side of persons suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. The second objective was to find out which compensation and rehabilitation aids have been used most frequently. The last objective was to investigate whether persons suffering from rheumatoid arthritis are willing to financially participate on purchase of the compensation aids. I am convinced that the set-up objectives of the bachelor degree thesis have been met. The method selected to deal with the issues and to achieve the mentioned objectives was quantitative research. We used inquiring by means of a questionnaire. The research has confirmed both the following hypotheses: Patients with rheumatoid arthritis most frequently use compensation aids for walking and The financial participation of rheumatoid arthritis patients on purchase of compensation aids depends on each patient´s working activity. Findings and results of the thesis may be beneficial for students of the following years in specializations dealing with rehabilitation and psycho-social care of children, adults and seniors with special needs. Moreover, the thesis may serve as an impulse for companies distributing compensation aids to take into account requirements of persons with rheumatoid arthritis.

Social impact of mental anorexy of child patient´s to a family.
ŠOUNOVÁ, Jitka
SOCIAL INPACT OF THE MENTAL ANOREXIA AFFECTING CHILDREN´S PATIENTS ON HE FAMILY In choosing the subject of my degree work I was influenced fundamentally by my experience gained during the department of children´s psychiatry. At thes very interesting work I had opportunity to become acquainted not only with various psychiatric diagnoses but with plenty of human fates in particular. The girls with plenty of human fates in particular. The girls wth mental anorexia were frequent patients of this department. During their long-term and often repeated hospitalization I met both the patients and the whole families. That´s why I could follow the development of the children affected like this and the impact of this illness on the family as well. The mental anorexia is a very grave and lingering illness belonging to the group of disorders in food ingestion. The consequences of this illness for he health can be of an persistent character and it is not exceptional that this illness is even fatal. The therapy is spite of all therapeutical possibilities, the modern psychiatry has at disposal. Therefore, the families of the patients have not only to get over the fear for the life and health of their members, but they have also to overcome longlasting psychological stress connected with the care of the person affected like this. This care can influence the running of the family fundamentally. It often happens that the family has to reduce the professional activities with respect to the exacting care. This can result in aggravation of the economic situation of the family. A considerable lowering of the living standard and the following crisis can take place in families with low incomes. Permanent psychological stress, deterioration of the economic situation and fair for the child can influence also the relations between individual members of the family. It is no exception that this stress has an adverse effect on the marriage of the parents, and that expecially in the case that the marriage was a problematic one as early as before the child fell ill.

Sentence of imprisonment
Nefová, Ivana ; Tlapák Navrátilová, Jana (advisor) ; Gřivna, Tomáš (referee)
89 CONCLUSION The most important achievement of the legislation in terms of penal laws is the adoption of the new Criminal Code (Act No. 40/2009 Coll.) which significantly modifies and modernizes Czech penal law. Criminal Code shall enter into force on the 1st January. The new code shall replace the existing Criminal Code (Act No. 140/1961 Coll. as amended). Particularly, the new codification of the substantive penal law may be characterized as follows: Following the intensification of the conflicts in the society and the new negative phenomena as well as forms criminal activity, rising brutality, international crime and the gravidity of criminal offences the criminal repression is being made more restrictive by increasing the term of imprisonment form some criminal offences. Criminal Code classifies the criminal offences into misdemeanours (deliberate criminal offences with the term of imprisonment of up to 5 years and all negligence criminal offences) and felonies (deliberate criminal offences with the term of imprisonment exceeding 5 years); the legal regulation isn't purposeless, but it is reflected in coherent provisions of substantive a procedural penal law (e.g. sentence of community service shall be imposed only for having committed the misdemeanour; in terms of misdemeanour, the diversion in form...

CNC Programming if the Single Point Incremental Forming
Ladecký, Tomáš ; Slaný, Martin (referee) ; Píška, Miroslav (advisor)
V současné době se zvyšuje potřeba rozvoje agilních výrobních postupů, které lze snadno přizpůsobit neustálému zavádění nových produktů na trh. Jednobodové inkrementální tváření je nový, inovativní a proveditelný tvářecí proces s jednoduchým uspořádáním. Proces se provádí při pokojové teplotě (tváření za studena) a vyžaduje CNC stroj, nástroj s kulovou hlavou a jednoduché příslušenství pro uchycení obrobku plechu. V samotném procesu jde o přírůstkové formování, řízené CNC programem. Plastická deformace je lokalizována pod formovacím nástrojem takže plech je tvářen souhrnem pohybů lokální plastické zóny. Tento proces je zdlouhavý a proto se hodí pouze pro prototypovou výrobu nebo pro malé výrobní dávky. Na druhé straně umožňuje vyšší tvářitelnost ve srovnání s konvenčními procesy tváření, umožňuje použití levných nástrojů a také je charakterizován krátkou dobou od návrhu po výrobu produktu. Tato práce je výsledkem mezinárodní spolupráce Danmarks Tekniske Universitet v Lyngby a Instituto Superior Técnico v Lisabonu. Práce začíná krátkým hodnocením dílčích tvářecích procesů, pokračuje představováním jednobodového inkrementálního tváření a identifikací jeho praktických aplikací. Teoretická část obsahuje přehled nového rámce pro jednobodové inkrementální tváření, který je vytvořen na základě analýzy styku třecích sil. Praktická část projektu poskytuje úplný popis experimentálních technik použitých pro charakterizaci materiálů a stanovení limitů tvářitelnosti, dále se analyzuje vliv různých vstupních parametrů procesu (poloměru nástroje, tepelné zpracování materiálu obrobku, druh maziva,...). Tato část také obsahuje přehled experimentálního uspořádaní procesu jednobodového inkrementálního tváření i krátký popis CAD / CAM vývoje tří testovacích modelů. Poté jsou popsány v samostatné kapitole výsledky pozorování a analýzy hlavních parametrů procesů, které ovlivňují tvařitelnostní limity v jednobodovém inkrementálním tváření v souvislosti s aplikovaným teoretickým rámcem. Výsledky experimentů z časti objasňují probíhající mezinárodní diskusi kolem tvářitelnosti mechanismu jednobodového inkrementálního tváření vzhledem k tradičním metodám tváření. Jako logické pokračování prováděných experimentů, byla práce rozšířena na více-stupňové jednobodové inkrementální tváření, které umožňuje tváření součástek (kalíšku) se svislými stěnami ve více krocích. Za účelem objasnění procesů spojených s tímhle procesem byly navrženy a ve čtyřech krocích vyrobeny dva experimentální modely. Hlavním přínosem této práce k více-stupňovému jednobodovému inkrementálnímu tváření byla úspěšná výroba součásti s nekruhovým průřezem a kolmými stěnami. S cílem aplikovat celkové znalosti získáných v předchozích částí práce byla vyrobena prototypová součást. Popis designu a vývoje prototypu je součástí práce. V neposlední řadě jsou celkové závěry uvedené v poslední kapitole. Předpokládá se, že tato práce přizpívá k lepšímu pochopení mechanismu jednobodového inkrementálního tváření.

The Role of Nurses in Colorectal Surgeries
ŠULCOVÁ, Jana
Theoretical basis: The problems in rectal and anal diseases have had rising tendency, especially haemorrhoidal diseases, on which we put emphasis in our bachelor thesis. 37% of adult population suffers from this disease so we may line it up to civilization illnesses. Their treatment involves wide range of medical methods, from the conservative therapy to semi invasive ways of treatment. The semi invasive treatment is well withstood by patients and it can help up to 90% of clients. This bachelor thesis is concerned with specifics of nursing duties in a colorectal surgery. It links with topics like taking faecal specimen, basic methods of endoscopy, communication with patients and giving them information about lifestyle. The theoretical basis describes haemorrhoidal disease and gives brief introduction into causes of its developing, most common symptoms and possible treatments. The aim of the thesis: From the practical point of view we set two tasks. The first one is aimed at specifics of nursing job in a colorectal surgery and the second one tries to monitor how nurses in colorectal surgeries inform patients about healthy lifestyle. We asked two research questions regarding these aims. The first research question is: What are the specifics of the nursing job in the colorectal surgery? The second question concerns how nurses in colorectal surgeries provide information to their patients about healthy lifestyle. Methodology: Regarding the bachelor thesis we decided to choose a form of a qualitative research with using semi structural interviews with practical nurses working in colorectal surgeries. The interviews took place from February 28 2014 to March 15 2014 in five colorectal surgeries in following towns: České Budějovice, Písek, Strakonice, Jindřichův Hradec a Třemošná u Plzně. The focus group was created of 6 nurses working in colorectal surgeries. The interviews were performed and recorded with the consent of all practical nurses involved in the research. All extracted data was arranged and categorised into groups that were consequently analysed. The interviewer´s questions were prepared in advance and some extra questions were asked during the interview. The interview was divided into five areas: Identification questions, role of a nurse, examination methods, recommendation and giving information about lifestyle. Results: The results show the specifics of nursing in colorectal surgeries. We found out that nurses working in colorectal surgeries deal mainly with preparing special medical instruments and devices needed for endoscopic examination. Then they assist doctors during a medical examination and with treatment methods of RBL (Barron´s rubber band ligation) and Hemoron, they manipulate with devices in a surgery, check hygiene measures, do administrative work and keep surgery office running. In other conversation areas practical nurses mostly mentioned sampling of biological materials, mainly blood and faecal specimen taking to be given up to histological examination, preparing patients for an endoscopic exam, communication with patients and attending to the intimacy of patients. Consequently we found out that more than half of the practical nurses pay attention to psychological conditioning of the patient before rectoscopy. The research also revealed some weak spots. More than half of the nurses in the focus group do not inform patients about preparations before anoscope exam. Barely one third of the group said that they inform patients about the natural emptying before the exam. Regarding the issue of giving information about lifestyle, we came to the conclusion that practical nurses, even though they do not have enough time, try to inform patients about physical activities, hygiene care and quality of eating and they do it in sufficient rate. But because of the time constrain they put emphasis only on the essential information.

Analýza dat týkajících se risku sebevraždy u mentálně nemocných
Hron, Jiří ; Rauch, Jan (advisor) ; Malá, Ivana (referee)
The three goals of this thesis are to present a coherent overview of the research on suicide in both the general population and among mentally ill, to analyse records of hospitalisations of mentally ill from years 2006 to 2012 while looking for patterns either leading to identification of suicide risk factors or useful for predicting probability of suicide at the time of discharge, and finally to compare a selected subset of statistical, data mining and machine learning methods in relation to their applicability to the second goal. The overview is based on information from over 40 published articles. The analysis and the comparison make use of associative rules mining, visual and stepwise methods for exploration, standard and conditional logistic regression models for inference, and variations of random forests for prediction. To the best of author's knowledge, none of the three goals was previously pursued by any other researcher in the Czech Republic, certainly not using the data set provided for purposes of this thesis. A new modification of random forest combined with a set of logistic regression in order to refine prediction accuracy is also briefly explored. The structure closely follows the above--stated goals starting from the chapters on related work and on the theoretical basis of the methods used, and concluding by the analysis itself and discussion of its results.

Nursing care of the operation area before and after the operation
KRATOCHVÍLOVÁ, Michaela
Theoretical outcomes The preparation of the operating field is an important part of all preoperative preparation. Preoperative preparation, before surgical intervention, cannot be neglected. In most cases, the doctor will not perform an operation without proper preoperative preparation. The only exception is urgent surgical intervention for which only the most basic preoperative preparation is provided. Preoperative preparation can be categorized as long-term, short-term, or immediate. A thorough and proper preparation of the operating field reduces any development of postoperative wound complications. The aim of thorough preoperative preparation of the operating field is to reduce any risk of developing postoperative wound complications. Postoperative care prevents postoperative complications. It is aimed at controlling the state of a patient's current health after surgical intervention, but also the surgical wound and its dressing. Both nurses and doctors are obliged to perform these controls. In the early postoperative period, the client stays in the ward or in the postoperative room. In the case of arising complications during surgical intervention, the client is moved to the ICU/ARO. The Aims of the Thesis The aim of the thesis is to map the differences in preoperative preparation of the operating field among surgery departments, and to find the differences between preparation in the operating field before a scheduled and an urgent surgical intervention. Furthermore, the aim is to find out if nurses perform preoperative and postoperative care properly. The following questions were chosen: What are the differences in preoperative preparation of the operating field among surgery departments? How do nurses perform preoperative and postoperative care of the operating field? Implemented methods In order to gain the desired information, a qualitative form of research was chosen, namely an in-depth interview method, a method of questioning, and an observational method. Observation was implemented using the hidden observation method. The respondents in the research were the nurses from the urology and the surgery departments at a hospital in Vysočina. Data collection was conducted from February to March, 2014. The acquired data was then analyzed through an open coding method. Results The subsequently transcribed interviews and observations were carefully analyzed using the 'pencil & paper' method and open coding. Eventually, five categories were created: preoperative preparation before a scheduled surgical intervention, preoperative preparation before an acute or urgent surgical intervention, preparation of the operating field, postoperative wound care, medical documentation. Conclusion The research suggests that nurses are well aware of the complete preoperative and postoperative care. What is, however, surprising is how adherence to the principles of barrier care and the client's intimity vary in the course of providing this care.The conclusions in this thesis should aim at an improvement of preoperative and postoperative care of a client and to eliminate any discovered shortcomings in the provided nursing care. The practical outcome of this thesis will be an article in a professional magazine for nurses.

In search of an equivocal country
Axmannová, Eliška ; Voldřichová - Beránková, Eva (advisor) ; Jamek, Václav (referee)
The present diploma thesis called In search of an equivocal country is devoted to the life and work of Victor-Lévy Beaulieu, a French Canadian (Quebecois) novelist. Beaulieu is an exceptional figure on the contemporary literary scene, especially because of his large scale project that he has been patiently pursuing for almost fifty years - the quest for a Quebecois epic and a hero that could save the nation from its loss of cultural identity. It is the 1978 trilogy Monsieur Melville that stands at the heart of the thesis. The eight hundred pages mosaic divided in three volumes might be mistaken for a simple biography of Herman Melville or for a critical analysis of his work. Nevertheless, it's to the art of literature that the text is devoted. Abel, writer and Beaulieu's alter-ego, is the narrator, while Melville assumes the role of an acolyte. Together, they undertake a voyage across New England and neighbouring waters in order for Abel to find strength enough to write the ultimate Book for Quebec. The thesis is made up by three main parts. Following a short introductory chapter concerned with Beaulieu's life and work and with his relation to the American literature, the focus is put on formal aspects of the trilogy. The first part of the thesis is called Monsieur Melville and postmodern inspiration and...
