The teaching profession is appraised as a relatively demanding profession with lots of different demands and expectations. The final section of the thesis contemplates possible ways and strategies of dealing with load and stress in a view of a natural organism defence and other means of dealing with stress.

Legal regulation of international arbitration in the Czech Republic and Portugal
Přib, Jan ; Růžička, Květoslav (advisor) ; Dobiáš, Petr (referee)
This thesis deals with legislation of international arbitration in Czech republic and Portugal. The choice of international arbitration and of these countries particularly as the object of the work has not been done coincidentally of course, the reason is, despite Czech republic and Portugal are countries with that do have a lot in common, e.g. their membership in European Union, similar economic power and current situation and relatively significant activity in international trade that the area of Portuguese legislation of international arbitration and of the whole system of law from the Czech view and vice versa remains still almost unexplored. The choice of international arbitration was not random either. Such choice was made due to the fact that arbitration is probably the most significant way of out-of-court settlement of disputes in last years and decades with use still increasing. It offers parties a private settlement of litigation with easy enforceability of rendered arbitration award abroad, and foreing arbitration award at home. Therefore, the objectives of this work were not solely to describe the present legislation of international arbitration but also to enable the reader to comprehend particular legal provisions correctly in a sense of their legal background. The work analyses the...

Dietary factors in etiopatogenesis of kidney?s disease.
Kubátová, Andrea ; Hronek, Miloslav (advisor) ; Kudláčková, Zděnka (referee)
Acute and chronic renal diseases belong permanently among those with a relatively significant prevailance. Conservative treatment, including dietetic interventions, plays an important role in medical strategy. Dietetic scheme of the 80's of the 19th century is still used as a fastening point. For this scheme is, of course, unavoidable to be submitted to strict individualisation, not only regarding the health status of the patient, but also in relation to his psychic status and compliance resulting from it, must be taken into consideration. In case of the acute renal failure, the basis of dietetic structures is created by low-protein diets, which range between the energetic value of 25-50 kcal/kg/day and the intake of 0,6-1,2g/kg/day proteins, rich in essential amino acids. Further, the low-protein diets are supplemented with the reduced intake of natrium, calium and phosphorus. With chronic renal failure, dietetic processions are divided into three schemes in dependency on the level of serum creatinin. Moreover, they respect a distortion of lipid metabolism, distortion of glucoregulation and the individual status of the patients again. It is crucial to start conservative medical processions already in the early stadium of renal functions decrease. At the same time, the level of serum creatinin...

Balladic features in prosaic work of Hungarian author István Petelei
Okrouhlá, Ana ; Tóth, István (referee) ; Kolmanová, Simona (advisor)
The present work concerns a certain area of the oeuvre of the multifaceted Hungarian writer István PETELEI. Specifically, these works are the balladic novellas that represent the preeminent genre throughout the author's career. Petelei is himself something of an unjustly neglected figure within Hungary, and is entirely unknown in Czech. Consequently, the present survey has set itself the goal of recalling the author within his native Hungary and simultaneously presenting him to the Czech reader as a figure worthy of attention. Petelei's balladic novellas were selected as a result of the present writer's conviction that not only do they offer a trenchant depiction of society at the time, but moreover on their own merits form a significant literary heritage. PETELEI lived and worked at the turn of the 19th and the 20th centuries, a historical context likewise manifested within his work. Furthermore, the immediate background is the reason why attention has been paid in the present work to the writer's relatively unusual origins, as well as the course of his life. The genre of the balladic novella has been found to be particularly useful, as indeed both the ballad and the novella have been and continue to be popular not only among Czech readers but indeed the Central European literary tradition as a whole....

The Practice of Sky Burials in Tibet
Brzoňová, Monika ; Komárek, Stanislav (advisor) ; Berounský, Daniel (referee)
Sky burial is a common funeral practice in Tibet. A human corpse is cut into small pieces and placed on a mountaintop (called durtro), exposing it to the elements and animals - especially to birds of prey. In Tibetan the practice is known as jhator (Tibetan bya gtor), which literally means "giving alms to the gods". As the name implies, jhator is considered an act of generosity: the deceased and his/her surviving relatives are providing food to sustain living beings. Because the majority of Tibetans adhere to Buddhism, which teaches reincarnation, generosity and compassion for all beings are important virtues or paramita in Buddhism. So the function of the sky burial is simply the disposal of the remains. In much of Tibet the ground is too hard and rocky to dig a grave, and with fuel and timber scarce, a sky burial is often more practical than cremation. This graduation theses enlarge about this ritual in all his connotation, i.e. historical, religious, culturology and philosophical meanings. It also enlighten about Tibetan approach to the death and funeral services in Tibet. The primal problem is the phenomena of sky burial and it's course, sense and other overlaps (like astrology, medicine, ethics, enviromentalism, iconography and so on).

The psychical Load of Intensive Care Nurses
Svitáková, Hana ; Vachková, Eva (referee) ; Mellanová, Alena (advisor)
The profession of nurse is closely connected with very intensive psychical and physical load, especially in the intensive care units (ICU). The interesting, but very sad fact, is that the mortality in ICU units in Czech republic is about 20%. Dying of each patient is of course a very stressful situation for his relatives and also for attending doctors and nurses. These frequent stressful situations result often in psychical or physical burnout by nurses in ICU. The unpleasant consequence of burnout by nurses is very often the change of job. The target of this thesis is to map the psychical load of nurses in ICU in czech hospitals. The target was met. The hypothesis number 1 was confirmed by the research. The hypothesis 2, 3, 4, 5 weren't confirmed. This diploma thesis has two main parts - teoretical and practical. The practical part of this diploma thesis is the qualitative research, that was made by questionnairies, that were sent to nurses of ICU in czech hospitals. The total number of sent questionnairies was 257 - the number of answered and returned questionnairies was 210 (82%). These 210 questionnaries were used in this diploma thesis. This research was made in january and february in 2010. The results of the research will be used in the future in czech hospitals in case of their concern. When...

The study oxidative stress markers in animal model of chronic colitis in large intestine.
Hocková, Erika ; Němečková, Ivana (referee) ; Nachtigal, Petr (advisor)
Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are both entities of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The nuclear transcription factor kappaB (NFκB) family consists of five different members, which are namely p65 (RelA), c-Rel, RelB, p50 and p52. NFκB has ability to promote the expression of various proinflammatory genes, to influence the course of mucosal inflammation and to mediate different cell-type specific effects. Bilirubin is an endogenous substance with anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory effects, which influences the process of inflammation and has protective effect. This diploma thesis was aimed at conduction of methods of NFκB detection on paraffine tissue slices and observation of NFκB expression in large intestine walls of normobilirubin and hyperbilirubin rats (Gunn's variety) after chronic imunohistochemically- induced inflammation. Eight Gunn's variety rats (G+ ) and eight Wistar's variety rats (K+ ) were used in this study, all after long time administration of dextrane-sulfate (DSS). For seven following days, DSS (in concentration of 2%w/v) was added into drinkable water for these rats, followed by 14 days of clear drinkable water (without DSS) administered to rats. This three-weeks long cycle was repeated twice (3 cycles in total were completed). Six rats of both varieties (6 G+ and 6...

Privatization and Stock Market Creation: Evidence from Transition Economies
Fungáčová, Zuzana ; Hanousek, Jan (advisor) ; Fidrmuc, Jarko (referee) ; Hasan, Iftekhar (referee)
Research Journal Articles Working Papers Research in Brief Series Dissertations Other Publications Featured Article Dissertations Date: Friday, June 26, 2009 - 14:00 Zuzana Fungáčová: "Privatization and Stock Market Creation: Evidence from Transition Economies" Dissertation Committee: Jan Hanousek (chair) Randall Filer Evžen Kočenda Jan Švejnar Abstract: The importance of finance for growth has already been confirmed in numerous studies. This relationship is especially crucial for the transition economies where financial systems had to be built from the scratch after the collapse of central planning. This work investigates stock markets that constitute an important part of the developed financial system. Functioning stock markets are found to be necessary even if the country's financial system is bank-based. In fact, in the transition countries stock markets are a relatively new phenomenon. Even though in comparison to the developed countries these markets remain still underdeveloped, they have been evolving as an important complement to the banks in the course of the transition process (EBRD Transition Report 2006). Stock markets emerged to help with the transformation of the state-owned assets to private hands and afterwards also with the rearrangement of ownership structures. They were also expected to...

Ritualization of death and dying in the Revolution of 1848: the cult of the dead
Randák, Jan ; Hlavačka, Milan (advisor) ; Řepa, Milan (referee)
non-traditional view of the subject of the revolutionary year of 1848. While a vast majority of the existing research has been focused on the course of the revolution, particular political camps and leaders of the contemporary movement, I have put emphasis on a phenomenon seemingly concealed and disregarded. My attention was aimed on the dead, the victims of the events of this hectic period. Death as such has indeed been a traditional interest of historians, nevertheless, reception and reflection thereof in a political or rather a revolutionary context is a fairly less regarded subject. Therefore, I have laid out an indeed concrete topíc in my thesis - ritualisation of death and dying during the revolution of 1848. A simple question is apparent: why study this subject of the dead and victims in the Czech context when no major fights occured here and thus the number of fatalities was not extreme? After reading my thesis the answer com es up as obviously as the question does: despite a relatively low body count of the Pentecost events in June 1848, a cult of the dead and victims of the revolution 1848 is present in the course of the few restless months. The cult of the dead was a sophisticated means of using the victims to promote particular interests of both the reformatory and revolutionary camp as well as...
