The Issue of Alcohol Dependence in Adolescents
FILIPOVÁ, Darina
Researches focused on the issues of alcohol addiction performed in the Czech Republic show that the number of alcohol addicts is higher every year and alcoholism has become a serious public health problem. There are more and more addicts every year, which is except others backed by the words that MUDr. Petr Popov, senior consultant of the Addiction Treatment Department of the General Faculty Hospital in Prague, said to the Právo daily on 10 March 2010: ?We used to have about 300 thousand alcohol addicts. Now there are between 600 and 700 thousand. There are twice as many men as women, but women have been gaining on men?. As an article in the Mladá Fronta Dnes of 21 February 2012 says, the number of young alcohol consumers is increasing, while about a fifth of 16 year olds admit drinking five or more glasses at least three times a month. This results from 2011 research quoted in the above article. My thesis dealing with the issues of alcohol addiction in teenagers wants to map the situation among teenagers of České Budějovice region and their knowledge of the impacts of excessive alcohol consumption on their personal and family lives, social lives and relations. The theoretical part deals with the problems of the process and occurrence of alcohol addiction in general and with the social and health consequences of excessive alcohol consumption, with the factors influencing teenagers to consumption of alcohol and other drugs and prevention in the field of addiction focused on teenagers. In the research part I particularly focus on socioeconomic background of young respondents, personal experience with alcohol and marginally on the other addictive substances. I also focus on mapping the knowledge of the consequences of alcohol consumption, influence of environment and of free time activities. I applied quantitative research, in the form of a questionnaire. My research shows that most of teenagers are aware of the consequences of alcohol consumption or abuse, but they do not limit alcohol consumption in their lives and they actually increase its consumption as they are growing older. More systematic application of training seminars focused on more consistent care about personal and social development and better orientation of free time activities can definitely contribute to prevention of alcohol abuse, of addiction development among teenagers, to further improvement of their knowledge and skills used for alcohol consumption reduction and consequent addiction. Better legislation measures in the field of punishing young users of alcohol and drugs would undoubtedly contribute as well.

The Citizens with Officially Cancelled Permanent Residency on Territory the Ceske Budejovice
HOLZÄPFELOVÁ, Vlasta
Permanent address is very important information for each citizen of the Czech Republic as it is closely linked to some rights and obligations exercised. A citizen of the Czech Republic may only be registered for permanent address at one place, usually where he/she has his/her family, flat or job. The permanent address location however does not have to be connected with the real place of residence and the bachelor thesis focuses on this reality, which often complicates citizens? lives. The origins and purpose of permanent address is examined from the historical point of view with links to the present situation. The bachelor thesis deals with the exact definition of the institute of permanent address of citizens of the Czech Republic and with a relatively new phenomenon of citizen registration, the possibility of so called official permanent address cancellation if the address does not correspond with the place where a citizen really lives. A house owner or a new lessor then exercises his/her right and files an application for cancellation of permanent address of a former lessee that is still registered at the address. During the administration procedure the lessee is asked to re-register voluntarily to another address upon valid right of use, if he/she fails to do that within a set deadline the address is officially cancelled, he/she is formally registered to a registration address, and the registration office of the municipality in whose territory the permanent address was cancelled then becomes the permanent address. The issue of permanent address cancellation brings numerous aspects not only in the context of the phenomenon of homelessness. The purpose is to point out the fact that not all the people with officially cancelled permanent address are homeless and still they are people who solve urgent living conditions and other existential anxieties. The bachelor thesis focuses on the territory of České Budějovice, its goal is to map the structure of the citizens with officially cancelled permanent address in the territory from the gender point of view. Another aim of the thesis is to find out in which parts of České Budějovice applications for permanent address cancellation are the most frequent and except others to propose a prognosis of the number of citizens with officially cancelled permanent address in České Budějovice. The fact showing certain relation between officially cancelled permanent address and escalated crime in selected area of České Budějovice seems to be a very interesting indicator. Demographic data processing is based on quantitative research performed upon own work experience by means of analysis of secondary data and trends from documents of opened administration procedures, their course and from already issued administration decisions on permanent address cancellation at the territory of České Budějovice.

Komrsková, Zuzana ; Chromý, Jan (referee) ; Mareš, Petr (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with graphic and orthographic innovations in Internet texts. The analyzed material comes from blogs, social networks, Internet forums and chats. These are all public sources, with the exception of electronic communication via ICQ programme, which was taken from private sources. Electronic communications and the Internet as a medium are generally described in the first part of this thesis. The hypotheses related to occurrence of various changes are included in the description of analyzed texts. The second part presents an analysis of the above-mentioned internet texts and it focuses on the graphic and orthographic innovations that are summarized in the last chapter. The found agreements result from features of the texts and their communicative function. The absence of innovations in certain texts is caused by different conditions and intentions of the communication.

Analysis of the approaches of Central and Eastern European countries towards their membership in the Banking union
Samuelis, Tomáš ; Dvořák, Petr (advisor) ; Fleischmann, Luboš (referee)
The goal of this thesis is to analyze the approaches of countries in Central and Eastern European region towards their membership in the Banking Union. The selected topic has been investigated based on structural characteristics of the banking sectors of the impacted countries. The comparison of these characteristics resulted in identification of inconsistencies between the 2 standpoints (Opt-in and Opt-out). The thesis monitors the motivation of banks in choosing or changing the legal form of 'their' banks in host markets. The work identifies areas in which the host government can act to prevent banks from converting into branches, thus retaining the regulatory powers in local authorities. The thesis in the first 2 chapters maps the first and the second pillar of the Banking Union, Single Supervisory Mechanism and the Single Resolution Mechanism respectively. Furthermore, it summarizes the results of the European Central Bank in carrying out the Comprehensive Assessment exercise.

The needs of family in care of the old patients with oncologic diseases
PANGLOVÁ, Tereza
Abstract Cancer diseases are one of the most frequent causes of death. Their occurrence increases with age and depends on many internal and external factors. Cancer is much feared diagnosis among people especially due to high mortality and pain. Such diagnosis causes high psychic stress on a patient and their family. The time period of medication and convalescence is stressing for a patient and entails number of complications. The course of the disease and therapy is also influenced by age of a patient. In case of seniors, anatomic and physiologic changes that can influence the result of medication must be considered. Family can be a great support for a patient. Some families care for their diseased family member at home. However, this is an uneasy task. Sometimes it can lead to exhaustion of a tender; nevertheless, stay in home environment has a positive effect on a patient. Findings about population{\crq}s ageing, old-age and physiologic changes caused in human body due to ageing, are included in the introductory theoretical part of the Bachelor{\crq}s Thesis. The following chapters devote of occurrence of cancer diseases, their prevention, characteristic symptoms and complex medication. An essential chapter is characteristics of an onco-geriatric nurse. Family function and complex insight on a family tender is described in the second concurring part of the Thesis followed by characteristics of separate biological-mental-social needs of a patient and their family. The Thesis is elaborated by use of a qualitative approach. Semi-standardized interview was used for data collection, the group of informants was structurally chosen. I have elaborated 12 detailed case reports according to the informants{\crq} responses. The interviews were held in home environment of the informants. The objective of the Thesis was to examine needs of families with regard to care for a client above 60 years of age with cancer disease. The second objective was to examine conditions enabling care for a client with cancer disease above 60 years of age to a family in home environment. The results revealed that the home tenders mostly miss offer of psychological care and sufficiency of information from specialists, in particular information from the field of finance. The most frequently mentioned condition enabling care for a senior with cancer disease to a family is free time. The free time of the main tender was enabled due to their retirement age or leaving their employment. Another condition is support of a family and other people.

Experimental murine leishmaniasis and its application for drug discovery and study of host-pathogen interactions
Grekov, Igor ; Lipoldová, Marie (advisor) ; Krulová, Magdaléna (referee) ; Šírová, Milada (referee)
Leishmania spp. have a great clinical significance, being a causative agent of leishmaniasis. Leishmania is transmitted to its vertebrate hosts by phlebotomine sand flies. In vertebrates, the parasites infect professional phagocytes (neutrophils, monocytes and macrophages) and a variety of other cells. Clinical symptoms of leishmaniasis range from lesions, local or disseminated, to mucosal and visceral pathology. Twelve million people are infected with Leishmania and 350 million people are under risk of infection in 88 countries. Yet, no vaccine has been developed and the treatment needs significant improvement. In this regard, animal models of leishmaniasis play a key role in understanding the mechanisms of the disease and in finding ways to treat and prevent it. This thesis summarizes the results of my Ph.D. project devoted to refinement of procedures relevant to Leishmania studies and to the use of the optimized protocols for gene mapping and search for antileishmanial drugs. Large-scale cultivation of infective Leishmania parasites is important in a wide range of experimental setups. We adapted a biphasic SNB-9 medium for the large-scale cultivation of Leishmania and compared it with a common liquid medium. We also modified and optimised detection and quantification of Leishmania with PCR-ELISA by using...
