The problems of nursing care during the application of transfusion
PEŠKOVÁ, Radmila
Abstract Issues of nursing care when transfusing Current situation: A transfusion is putting whole blood or its complements (plasma; erythrocytes) into the bloodstream. The doctor who transfuses is responsible for transfusing. While transfusing, cooperation between the nurse and the doctor is important; any mistake can endanger the patient's health and life (Vyhnálek, 2003). When transfusing, the nurse's competencies include taking the patient's blood for blood type testing and cross testing, preparing equipment and a set, ensuring the venous access, ensuring blood compatibility and blood at the patient's bedside, monitoring the patient while transfusing, and keeping documents (Vokurka, 2005). The aim of the research: To determine issues of the nursing care of a patient requiring blood transfusion. In addition, to determine whether nurses observe the standard nursing procedure for patients requiring blood transfusion. Methodology: The empirical part of the bachelor's thesis was prepared on the basis of qualitative research data collection through interviews. The qualitative research was supplemented with observations of nurses using an audit technique.The results were processed using open coding. Codes were created using a pencil and paper and then divided into categories and subcategories. Participants: Interviews were intended for general nurses working at the surgical and orthopaedic departments of hospital České Budějovice, a.s. The interviews were conducted by agreement with the nurses in charge of the departments concerned. It was a deliberate choice that was influenced by the participants' willingness to cooperate. Sampling was terminated when the data obtained were theoretically saturated. An audit was carried out in the case of 5 nurses within the semester thesis. Results: It was found out on the basis of the research that the nurses had good theoretical knowledge in the area of the care of a patient requiring blood transfusion, but there were certain areas in which the nurses showed a weakness. The nurses showed their greatest weakness in the case of blood derivatives. There we found out from the research that the nurses were unable to explain what blood derivative was during the research. The results show that the nurses' knowledge in the area of patient care before transfusing is excellent. Another examined part of the research was to determine what duties the nurses had to perform while transfusing. There it was found out that not all nurses observed the recommended procedure for monitoring the patient while transfusing. The last part of the research was to find out what responsibilities the nurses had after transfusing. The research results show that the nurses know how to handle the completed transfusion and that they should keep it in a special refrigerator for 24 hours. After the end of transfusing all the nurses interviewed also measure the patient's physiological functions and then record them in the nursing documentation. Furthermore, it was discovered by the research that the longer practice nurses have and the more often they meet with transfusing, the less danger of damage to the health of the patient is. The results of the audit of transfusing show that the most frequent mistakes the nurses made were the insufficient identification of the patient, failure to observe the recommended time of application, and the unsatisfactory checking of the patient's condition while and after transfusing. Conclusions: The research results show that the nurses interviewed have relatively wide knowledge of the issues concerned. They know the nursing care of a patient requiring blood transfusion before, while and after transfusing. The research shows that the more often the nurse meets with transfusing the better her skills in transfusing are. The research proved that although the nurses knew the standard nursing procedure for a patient requiring blood transfusion, in practice they did not observe it fully.

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.

Is import of goods from european countries to Czech republic more or less influenced by changes in nominal and real exchange rates than in non european countries?
Vereš, Jan ; Stroukal, Dominik (advisor) ; Slaný, Martin (referee)
This bachelor thesis analyses the connection between import of goods from foreign countries to Czech Republic and the exchange rate changes. The initial hypothesis of this paper is to prove that the depreciation of domestic currency has positive influence on balance of trade balance. For this purpose there is eight econometric models which were created by using time series from years 2003 to 2016. These models are divided in pairs among four chosen countries. For each country two models were created that follow the development of trade balance between Czech Republic and one of the countries in two different time frames. All the models always use the real effective exchange rate, growth rate of GDP for Czech Republic and growth rate of GDP for one of the countries as explanatory variable. It is connected with the second task of this thesis, which is the analysis of the differences in the behaviour of the models that belong to the countries which are members of the EU and these that are not. The aim is to find out whether the existence of tariffs on imported goods from countries out of the EU causes visible differences in the behaviour of the variables that were included in the models. Based on the outcomes of all eight models the main hypothesis has been proved right for three out of four countries. In the models for Germany, China and France the relation of real exchange rate and trade balance came out as positive in long term, in short term the outcome was ambiguous. The second question of this thesis has been answered, but its added value is questionable. The final models for each state do show some noticeable differences and they can be used to determine if the influence of the change of exchange rates on trade balance is smaller or bigger in the countries where tariffs are used. On the other hand, from the results we can learn that the sample of only four countries is insufficient for the deduction of any conclusions.

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.

Analysis and design of intranet structure
Novák, Miroslav ; Pour, Jan (advisor) ; Šedivá, Zuzana (referee)
Nowadays, Intranet is an inseparable part of every company, notwithstanding of their size or field of activity. Both, in my work and personal life, I often come across different intranets that usually do not get a positive response. But they usually have the same source of the problem, which is based on their wrong structure. This is why is chose this topic for my thesis. The goal of my thesis is to perform an analysis of an existing intranet of a particular company and subsequently create a design of the intranet new structure using the card-sorting method. This thesis primarily represents a generalized method of how to proceed during such realization and which areas to look into. Theoretical part of this thesis covers the topics of information architecture and also the term intranet itself, where the most frequent issues I came across in the intranets are pointed out. Practical part covers the analysis itself, where I focus on the structure of the existing intranet, categorization of its content, connections with other systems, customization, permission management, surveys of contentment, and intranet usage. The analysis is performed manually by scanning through the existing intranet of the company, since other methods or approaches could not be applied due to technical limitations or insufficient permis-sions. Based on the outputs of the analysis, web categorizations and the card-sorting method, a design of a structure of the new intranet has been proposed. The design itself is a demonstration of the method how to approach the new intranet design.
