Possibilities of using music therapy in clinical practice
Pavlová, Václava ; Schneidrová, Dagmar (advisor)
During the 20th century, medicine has undergone massive development. But countless new methods to save life or improve its quality began to develop a new perspective on health and the role of doctors and patient. Recognizing that virtually everything we do, eat, breathe, etc. affects our health, moved a large part of the responsibility for maintaining health to all of us. A patient who decides on many factors alone, should become a collaborator in self-care and an active participant prevention and therapy. Another change that is greatly reflected in the medical approach to therapy is the pursuit of the lowest of all invasive medical procedures. Doctor must always weigh the benefits and risks of surgery, which intends to make, and it should be attempt to choose the therapy so as to have the least adverse effects in maintaining good efficiency of treatment. The two previous points related increase in interest in psychotherapy. Its essence lies in influencing the patient's psychological means. It means avoidance of drugs and therefore the risk of side effects and risk dependencies that are often prescribed for some but i freely counter medications (anxiolytics, analgesics) a major threat. On the other hand, psychotherapy requires patient cooperation, willingness to treat a mainly willingness to devote time and...

Buryat shamanism
Havlíček, Marek ; Pargač, Jan (referee) ; Kašpar, Oldřich (advisor)
After the political changes in East Europe and Central Asia at the end of 80s of the 20th century some latitude of religious liberty, which had been limited till then, occured. It made possible to restore original traditions and gradually return the religion from illegality back to the public life. Ecclesiastic and confessional institutions started to restore in accordance with those ones operating in the period of Imperial Russia. A very specific situation arose from Buryat shamanism, which had never been under the state and authority control like other confessions had. Buryat shamans began to restore and renew extinct traditions mostly by the way of studying professional ethnographical and religious literature and inspired by the new philosophical currents of the tardy wave of New Age, they complemented numerous gaps and deficiency with their own ideas. During the last 15 years several organisations associtiating Buryat shamans have come into existence. They obviously differ from each other in their specialisation, traditions they gather from, and even in their range. Some of them are local, others try to unite all shamans in the territory settled by the Buryats, but there are also small formal and informal groups gathering disciples of a master. All associations of shamans in some ways use traditional...

The use of psychodrama in supervision
Švadlenová, Jana ; Havrdová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Procházková, Jana (referee)
The main topic of my diploma work called "The use of psychodrama in supervision" is a psychodrama method that is applied for the use of supervision praxis. In the first part of my work - Psychodrama as a method - is psychodrama described in its historical development that is connected with its founder J. L. Moreno, a doctor and a psychotherapist from Austria. Further in the text is psychodrama defined in the context of contemporary conception. It is also showed how are its basic elements, phases and techniques used in the praxis. In the second part of my work - Supervision and the method of psychodrama - is the psychodramatic supervision presented from the two points of view. The first point of view belongs to several contemporary professionals dealing with its theory and praxis and the second one belongs to German supervisors who were asked for this purpose. This part also summarises arguments for the use of psychodramatic supervision, specific concepts of professional education and theoretical concepts of psychodramatic supervision. As my diploma work is dedicated especially to the supervisors who are on the beginning of their supervision carriers it contains also concrete limits and recommendations for the use of psychodramatic supervision that have preventive character.

Standard of general laic public knowledge of first aid giving
Nechanická, Veronika ; Slowik, Regina (advisor) ; Skála, Bohumil (referee) ; Býma, Svatopluk (referee)
The synopsis of principles of first aid, including the newest guidelines for cardiopulmocerebral resuscitation was elaborated in this work. The selected states altering the human health or life-threatening conditions were mentioned, including their recommended management. The recommendations for appropriate calling for an ambulance were elaborated and the remark concerning criminal law was made. In the practical part of this work the answers of 99 respondents to questions investigating the basic sociometric and demografic data and elementary knowledge of first aid were analyzed. The hypotheses that people who had undergone first aid training, who had dealt with the accident or emergency in real life, and people with medical education have better knowledge of first aid were confirmed. The people who evaluated their own knowledge of first aid as good from their subjective point of view really had better knowledge. The hypothesis of direct proportion between knowledge of first aid and achieved education was confirmed in the female group. The assumption that the youngest and the oldest generation has the worst knowledge of first aid was also confirmed. The surprising findings were revealed in the male group. A group of the youngest respondents and a group with the lowest education had the best...

The quality of life of tracheostomized patients
Čiháková, Ivana ; Mareš, Jiří (advisor) ; Bezvodová, Věra (referee) ; Vokurka, Jan (referee)
In this bachelor's work, the quality of life of tracheostomized patiens is evaluated within 31 patients treated and operated at the ENT department of Hradec Králové Faculty Hospital. The most of them werw older than 50 years, mostly within 6th and 7th decennium. The main reason to undergo tracheostomy was laryngeal cancer in 24 cases, in all the other cases the reason was bilateral paresis of recurrent laryngeal nerve due to strumectomia. To evaluate the life quality, the SEIQoL method was used. The most important factor in this method is subjective feeling of each patient. The most important life themes for men and women was their family and health. After the tracheostomy no changes of their importance were noticed. More important changes have been refered after tracheostomy in other life qualities. Within women, their temper was deteriorated - obout 45%, their feeling of satisfaction in sport got worse (35%) as well as interpersonal relations (23%) and feeling of health (14%). The percentage of satisfaction with most of the life themes decreased also in men. The interesting conclusion was, that while in women the decrease of health feeling was not significant, in men this diference was about 32%. Men were also less tolerant for sport limitations (27%). The level of satisfaction with spiritual...

Configuration management
Pelikán, Robert ; Pour, Jan (advisor) ; Peka, Ondřej (referee)
My thesis is aimed at the problems of Configuration Management. Configuration Management is part of managing of information science management. Being part of it, it is very well described in different methodologies aimed at management of information science. Configuration Management is concerned with monitoring of company assets. In information technology it means mainly hardware and software equipment which is being used by the company. Knowledge of exact configurations of all these assets is very important mainly for providing user support, deploying new implementations or running audits. Situation in companies dealing with IT is, that many of such companies do not use Configuration Management at all, on a limited scale or are using some substitute method. Management of these companies usually realizes that it would be good to somehow align problems aligned with using of larger quantities of hardware and software. Often it is a situation when company does not use any methodologies for IT management and thus does not know that something like Configuration Management even exists. Goal of my thesis is to help future users of Configuration Management. I am trying to achieve this goal by analyzing particular components of Configuration Management complemented by my work experiences - I have been engaged in Configuration and Change Management during the majority of the last three years.

Intercultural Training Methods
Matysová, Kamila ; Zadražilová, Dana (advisor) ; Klosová, Anna (referee) ; Bedrnová, Eva (referee)
Goal. The goal of the following study is it to propose educational measures in readiness for the methods of intercultural training at the Faculty of International Relations of the University of Economics Prague based on revealed cultural attitudes of the students studying International Trade to chosen ethnic, national, racial and religious groups (also called categories). In particular, the goal is it to detect explicit and implicit attitudes and related prejudice, stereotypes and experienced emotions of the students studying International Trade (IT) at the University of Economics Prague to/against 17 (respectively 20) chosen categories; to evaluate its magnitude for business practice and economy; and to propose appropriate measures for intercultural training. Sample and conditions. 167 students of International Trade from The University of Economics Prague took part in the first study. For measuring magnitude of the determinants of explicit attitudes 166 members of common population were questioned. Another 293 students were questioned in the first study and altogether 460 students took part in the second study. There were used the Bogardus social distance scale as a measuring psychological technique for explicit attitudes and prejudice, the syllogisms aptitude tests as a measuring tool for implicit attitudes and prejudice and the open questionnaire for stereotypes. Hypotheses. The following hypothesis was settled in the first study: Attitudes of the IT students have specific features, on the one hand, they differ from the attitudes and prejudice of common population and on the other hand, they have relation to the status of the perceived national, ethnic, racial and religious groups. There were tested 24 zero, working hypotheses. The first 17 working hypotheses are related to the relationship between the memberships in the two observed populations and the expressed explicit attitudes and prejudice. The next 6 hypotheses are connected to the attitudes of the students to occidental nationalities, to the Ukrainians, Russians, the Mongols and Moldovans, to the Slovaks and Czechs, Arabians and Muslims. The last working hypothesis is related to the relationship between explicit and implicit attitudes to and prejudice against Roma minority and Muslims. The following hypothesis was settled in the second study: Stereotypes of the observed population refer to the real existing intercultural differences, experienced emotions and projected cultural complexes. There was tested a working hypothesis related to the dependence between prejudice and stereotypes. Statistical analysis. The data were analyzed by the chi-square test and the strength of the relationship was measured by Cramér V. Furthermore agglomerative clustering by nearest neighbor method was applied and the results were presented as a horizontal dendrogram. Results. The results of the first study are well fitting the settled hypothesis. International Trade Students have relatively less prejudice comparing to the common population, it is influenced by their age as well as by their academic degree. There were identified several clusters of categories, that show similar attitudes. The students have positive, but not identical attitudes to all occidental categories, the same attitudes to the Ukrainians and Russians, Arabians and Muslims. The most favored national group are the Slovaks and the most prejudiced ethnic group is the Roma minority. There is dependence between explicit and implicit attitudes. The results of the second study are well fitting the settled hypothesis. Stereotypes of the observed population refer to the real existing intercultural differences as well as to experienced emotions and projected cultural complexes. The dependence between explicit stereotypes and explicit prejudice is caused by positively connoted attributes. Proposed educational measures for intercultural training are discussed in the study illustrated with examples of optional course 2OP321 Effective communication in English. Limits. Bogardus social distance scale is mostly focused on the behavioral component of the explicit attitudes, which does not necessarily mean an equivalent behavioral action.

Good manufacturing and hygienic practices with processing of freshwater fish.
SMOLA, Jiří
HACCP and good manufacturing practices are tools to the safeguard of food safety. Technologic process of fish processing begins by receiving of live fish and ending with stock and expedition of fish products. Stocking is the operation, whereat is able to get to consumer{\crq}s health hazard. Wrong temperature regulation causes multiplication of microorganisms. Stocking proceed at temperature 0 {--} 2 °C, which is stopping increasing of microorganisms. Practically were tracked difference course temperatures during hours and days. During monitoring was average temperature at 10 AM 2.33 {$\pm$} 1.25°C and average temperature at 10 PM was 2.11 {$\pm$} 1.19°C. During monitoring was average temperature 2.10 {$\pm$} 1.03°C. Maximum temperature was monitored in the morning. The temperature raised trough storage of new products. This short - period increasing is able to influence quality of products.
