TŘÍSKOVÁ, Lucie
Lifestyle, decrease in physical activity, advance in new technologies, industrialization and globalization contribute to the increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity. Considering the number of factors participating in their formation might be beneficial for the nurses to use the Betty Neuman's conceptual model to evaluate the involved factors and the level of their influence. In accordance with this evaluation also set the interventions in the individual stages of prevention. The aim of this thesis was to describe the possibilities of utilization the Betty Neuman's conceptual model in prevention of overweight and obesity. In the investigative part the quantitative and qualitative research were used. The quantitative research was performed by means of a non-standardized questionnaire intended for the nurses from Vysočina region and Jihočeský region. The qualitative research was implemented via a semi-structured interview with the overweight or obese individuals and nurses from the same regions. Relating to the people with overweight and obesity, no significant differences in stressors were found after the quantitative data analysis. However, the results reveal a considerable dissatisfaction with the overall appearance and health condition. They also reveal the perception of the overweight and obesity impact at work. The respondents show an interest in weight reduction, some of them try repeatedly. Equally, the qualitative data analysis implies that the overweight and obese patients percept themselves with less satisfaction. The most frequent problems are higher weight, troubles with breathing and pain in legs while walking. With regard to general nurses, it was found out that they approach the overweight and obese patients the same way as the rest of the patients. They would recommend regular and healthy diet and exercise. The gathered results reveal the necessity of communication with the individuals who suffer from overweight and obesity. For the lifestyle transformation, sufficient education supported by motivation is crucial.

The knowledge of affected risk factors of cardiovascular illnesses of Havlíčkův Brod inhabitants in two groups: from 18 to 40 years and from 40 years higher.
TŘÍSKOVÁ, Lucie
Topic of the bachelor thesis: Knowledge of influenceable risk factors for cardiovascular diseases of inhabitants of Havlíčkův Brod in two groups at the age of 18-40 years and of 40 and more. Theoretical Background: The bachelor thesis begins with a brief anatomy description. Then we characterized the most common cardiovascular diseases that make public trouble. Furthermore, the thesis is focused on the description of influenceable risk factors. These include hypertension (high blood pressure), diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, smoking, obesity, psychosocial factors, low physical activity and nutrition. Prevention is described for each risk factor. The last chapter of the theoretical part is devoted to education and its importance for prevention. Objectives of the thesis: The aim of the thesis was to compare the knowledge of the controllable risk factors for cardiovascular diseases of the inhabitants of Havlíčkův Brod in two groups at the age of 18-40 and of 40 and more. Then, to describe the knowledge of these risk factors and compare the knowledge in women and men. Methodology: The research investigated the knowledge of influenceable risk factors that cause cardiovascular disease. The research of the bachelor thesis was carried out a quantitative research strategy using the method of anonymous non-standardized questionnaire. The criterion for entry into the survey was the age over 18. Before the final distribution of the questionnaire, we conducted piloting, focusing on the clarity of questions and their answers. The questionnaires were subsequently distributed in printed and electronic form. The questionnaire consists of 19 questions. Questions of the questionnaire are divided according to the way of answer into questions closed, semi-closed and open. The obtained data were processed into descriptive tables and graphs, followed by statistical analysis, which tested the mentioned hypotheses. Results: We chose two hypotheses. The first was: "The knowledge of influencable risk factors for cardiovascular disease will vary in the age groups compared." Second hypothesis: "The knowledge of influenceable risk factors for cardiovascular disease varies between men and women. We conducted the research using questionnaires that we distributed to the inhabitants of Havlíčkův Brod. The population had to be at the age of 18 or older. The first hypothesis was not confirmed. Both age groups have shown the same knowledge in this field. By analyzing the data, we found that both groups had the same knowledge, but this knowledge is insufficient, 57 % (34) of the respondents of both age groups did not show sufficient knowledge. Further analysis compared knowledge about influenceable risk factors between women and men. Women living in Havlíčkův Brod reported more knowledge than men. The second hypothesis was confirmed, 51 % (38) women and men 30 % (14) (Table 3). From the overall research, I was most disappointed by the result when respondents said that the physician and nurse were almost never talking about cardiovascular disease prevention. In this result, I see a serious problem, and if education by doctors or nurses is going to be as it should, knowledge might be better.

Overview of platforms for mobile application development
Třísková, Lucie ; Buchalcevová, Alena (advisor) ; Pecinovský, Rudolf (referee)
This bachelor work deals with the evaluation of mobile platforms from the perspective of mobile applications developers. The aim of this thesis is to establish criteria for mobile platform evaluating from the per-spective of novice developer, who wants to develop applications in his free time, and to use them for comparison of selected mobile platforms so that the reader will be able to ad-just them to his preferences and then choose the best option for him. This aim was achieved by synthesis of information from Czech and foreign sources, under which were created my own recommendations for choosing a platform for mobile applications devel-opment. The thesis is structured as follows: first is captured the market share of different mobile platforms in the Czech and worldwide mobile operating systems market, then are described three major mobile platforms (Android, iOS and Windows Phone) in detail, focusing on the specifics of mobile application development, in the next chapter are defined evaluation criteria according to novice hobby developers and the conclusion is based on comparison of selected mobile platforms by the selected criteria. This thesis provides developers with the necessary information and recommendations for the choice of platform for developing mobile applications. In the Czech Republic has not been yet published any work, which compares so comprehensive the most important mo-bile platforms and evaluated them from the perspective of mobile applications developers.
