Discopathy and changes of posture
Červenková, Zuzana ; Vacek, Jan (advisor) ; Mende, Karel (referee)
In my bachelor thesis I have focused on discopathy and its effects on postural system of individuals. I concentrate on changes of intervertebral disc in lumbar part of the spine, as they are the most common. From physiotherapist point of view, I consider this issue essential for subsequent adequate and succesful therapy. Patients suffering from chronic low back pain present significant socio- economical problem. It is one of the most common problems, mainly because of lifestyle and absence of motional activity. Surprisingly, only a few authors deal with the effect of postural system based on discopathy. Key words: discopathies, intervertebral disc, chronic low back pain, postural system, changes of posture

Senior volunteerism in the context of active aging
Červenková, Zuzana ; Angelovská, Olga (advisor) ; Dobiášová, Karolína (referee)
At present, the issue of population aging is discussed. In the framework of public policies is becoming increasingly important concept of active aging, which emphasizes human development and social participation in old age. They created the societal conditions for its implementation, but which takes place at the individual level. One of the activities, which is also supported under the National Strategy to support positive aging is volunteering. In the Czech Republic, however, in this activity relatively few seniors are involved. I examined the obstacles and possible solutions perceived by different types of stakeholders. I have conducted dozen expert interviews with representatives of senior and non-profit organizations and ministries and I have also analyzed the relevant documents. Actors saw some gaps in funding, the creation of a National Action Plan, the activities of the Working Group to support education and volunteerism, but also in terms of awareness and the overall interests of seniors in volunteering. Stakeholders have proposed some minor changes notably by overcoming excessive formality of the entire policy , raising awareness of the specific opportunities and changes in financing. Senior representatives opinion differ a lot from the other. They want to introduce a law on seniors and...
