Transfer of dangerous substances in connection with safety at road traffic
SANDOROVÁ, Radka
The carriage of dangerous goods by road abides mainly by the European Agreement concerning the international carriage of dangerous goods by road `ADR{\crq}. The agreement was accepted by advanced countries in 1957 and The Czechoslovak Socialist Republic joined it in 1986, the Czech Republic became the full-fledged member on 1st January 1993 as a succesor of the former Czechoslovak Socialist Republic. Despite the fact that the development of industry has brought many products that we cannot imagine the existence of the modern society without, on the other hand, the integral part of them is production of dangerous goods, which brings a danger associated with their manufacture, storage, usage and transportation. On this account it is necessary to use all means to decrease potential hazards of a rise of accidents of vehicles transporting dangerous goods, which brings the biggest hazards to people{\crq}s health, their possession and ecological environment. As statistics show, one of the main agents of a rise of accidents is human failure. Even the most perfect regulations cannot avoid these or other hazards that menace whilst carrying dangerous goods. Though my effort was to refer to essential and the most important parts of the ADR agreement concerning the carriage of dangerous goods, to highlight the importance of exercising control over observing the regulations. Moreover, I wanted to point to the direct dependence of successful managing of solving uncommon situations on cooperation and instantiation of powers of all components of Integrated emergency system, and at the same time through a particular example from practice to mention the need of actualization of individual type plans and subsequent presentation of newly used methods and observations from solving crises situations and with them connected introduction of new ways of preparation for their solutions.

The preparedness of the Emergency Medical Service of Zlin Region for Crisis Situations
MANA, Štěpán
Impacts of global climate changes in the form of repeated natural disasters are becoming a part of the day-to-day life of the present-day society. The issue of preparedness for extraordinary and crisis situations is becoming more and more topical. The Czech Republic is no exception; it regularly faces heavy rains, floods or snow. The key prerequisite for successful management of these emergencies is an effective prevention and preparedness in the form of crisis plans or crisis preparedness plans. The objective of my thesis is to find out whether Emergency Medical Service of Zlín Region is sufficiently prepared for the occurrence of emergencies and to propose solutions if shortcomings are identified. The Emergency Medical Service of Zlín Region constitutes a basic component part of the Integrated Rescue System of Zlín Region. As a provider of emergency medical services, it is included in the Crisis Plan of Zlín Region. Capacity for action and the activities of the Emergency Medical Service of Zlín Region have to be ensured not only in day-to-day operation, but also if an emergency occurs and continues. The theoretical part of my thesis provides a general overview of emergency and crisis planning, competencies of administrative authorities with respect to emergency medical services in case of an emergency situation announcement, traumatology plan and pandemic plan. This chapter includes also characterization of the legal entity of Emergency Medical Service of Zlín Region and description of special antropogenic and natural threats. The theoretical part is followed by qualitative research, which involves in particular a detailed study of available professional resources in printed and electronic form, especially crisis and emergency planning documents of Zlín Region and internal documents of Emergency Medical Service of Zlín Region. The practical part of the thesis contains an analysis of external and internal threats at respective ambulance stations of Emergency Medical Service of Zlín Region. The external risks analysis is based on the Crisis Plan of Zlín Region and Emergency Plan of Zlín Region, while the internal risks analysis is based on an expert estimate of potential risks at respective ambulance stations of EMS ZR. I assigned the potential impact on the activity of EMS ZK to each identified risk in the risk analysis. The outputs from the analysis became the main source for the preparation of the crisis preparedness plan. The analysis of external risks confirmed that agility and EMS ZK activities may disrupt in particular the following threats: natural flood (ambulance station in Zlín Peroutkovo nábřeží, Uherské Hradiště, Vsetín), special flood (ambulance station in Zlín - Peroutkovo nábřeží, Karolinka, Vsetín), risks arising from climatic conditions (especially heavy snow in Wallachia), disruption of pharmaceuticals and medical supplies (secondary consequence of the crisis) and electricity cuts (especially ambulance stations that do not dispose of emergency power unit). The thesis result is a proposal of Crisis Preparedness Plan of Medical Emergency Service of Zlín Region. A legal entity or an individual who secures the performance of measures resulting from the regional crisis plan is responsible for the preparation of the crisis preparedness plan. The particulars and manner of preparation of the crisis preparedness plan are described in detail in the Government Decree No. 462/2000 Coll., which implements the provisions of Sec. 27(8) and Sec. 28(5) of Act No. 240/2000 Coll., on Emergency Management and Amendment to Some Acts. When drafting the plan I proceeded according to valid legislation. This plan is an internal document of the legal entity to solve the challenges of security in crisis situations.

The "World Order" in Gustav Herling-Grudziński's short stories
Petránková, Michaela ; Poslední, Petr (advisor) ; Benešová, Michala (referee)
v anglickém jazyce Reading a story typically involves a question where did this story come into being, where it arose from. Reading Gustaw Herling-Grudziński's short stories involve the answer as well. His texts after a novel A world Apart imply well-founded world order, which suggests, that stories exists in variations yet for centuries in old chronicles, files on historical events, commentaries written by historian and in famous European paintings and other works of arts. The plausibility of such stories is supported by their incessant repeating. Never can they be forgotten inasmuch as they can emerge anytime in present events, most often in the place where the previous story took place. In Gustaw Heling-Grudziński's short stories even the seemingly real place is never the purely mimetic image of a real place. Described landscape combines a representation of real European places with the imaginary space of fiction. In Herling-Grudziński's short stories it means that places have their own inner memory reflected in genius loci. As the narrator perceives them not by vision alone, but also by smell, sound, and so on and they interface with other spaces in literature as well, may such a narrative present itself as a projection of the memory engaged to a particular place. It may fully comprise of...

The Golden Rule of morality in everyday practice population protection
MARKVART, Petr
The aim of the bachelor thesis titled The Golden Rule of Morality in Everyday Practice of Population Protection is to ponder about the questions of rescuers' obligations within their work duties and to find out to what extent can they, in their line of work, operate with a certain amount of empathy to their surroundings, to the people, who are immediately affected by a crisis situation, whose health or even life is endangered, or who are in the danger of losing their property. I would like to use my thesis to find out, whether there are some situations in which the rescuers can encounter an inner conflict. Should they only follow the legislation, that is currently in effect, or should they sometimes follow their intuition, and especially the golden rule of morality? Can the rescuers imagine themselves in the position of the rescued and and use it to adjust their decisions? I will back my thesis with an anonymous qualitative research, in which fifteen members of the three basic rescue agencies (Fire Rescue Service of the Czech Republic, Police of the Czech Republic and Emergency Medial Service of the Czech Republic) have participated. The respondents were answering questions which were suitable for statistical evaluation. What can we find out from the questionnaire, and the proffesionals' answers? The questions were aimed at the proces of evacuation of civilians from flood areas and the possibility of application of the golden rule. Can we claim it necessary to define the field of population protection and the work of the individual rescue agencies of the Integrated Rescue System through legislation and observance of the current law, regulations and degrees in the area of population protection and crisis management? It is because of this legislation, that we have clearly defined procedures in various crisis situations, specifically in the area of planning, preparation and preventive measures. In spite of that fact, we will find out, whether some of the rescuers have ever followed the golden rule of morality in their line of work, or whether they can at least imagine themselves following it in some occasions (and if so, what would be the occasions). It is not my goal to use this thesis to detract from the siginificance of clearly set rules, designated procedures and orders from intervention commanders in crisis situations. The goal, that I have set for myself, is to discover how thin the line is between that which I have to do even though I might not agree with it, and that which I want to do, even if it means breaking some rules. As emerged from the research, we have a specific, embedded sense of justice and order. Are we more inclined to follow the rules and the individual given regulations, or to have a certain amount of liberty in deciding and following the golden rule? I find the topic itself highly attractive. The interconnection of the three agencies of the Integrated Rescue System may appear nonsensical at first glance. However, in this thesis, we will discover that there is, in fact, a very distinct link between them. When an intervention of the Integrated Rescue System occurs, it very often involves interaction between the firemen, paramedics and policemen on one side, and the rescued people on the other. None of the rescuers can resist feeling a certain amount of empathy towards the rescued person. What if it was me in his place? It is in this way, that the topics, at first glance so very different, interconnect into a very specific issue. I do not think there is a lot of situations in the field of population protection, in which one can follow the golden rule of morality. Certainly, the official procedures are the most effective way of work of all the agencies of the Integrated Rescue System. However, I think that there are some situations in the everyday practice of population protection, where one can, indeed, follow the golden rule of morality.
