Eating habits and their relation with weight development after bariatric surgery
Poshor, Vít ; Konečná, Judita (advisor) ; Starnovská, Tamara (referee)
Introduction: Despite modern obesity treatments such as pharmacotherapy and bariatric surgery, lifestyle intervention remains one of the key therapies. In particular, modification of dietary habits, increasing physical activity, and improvement of psychological state, which often complicates weight loss and maintenance of achieved weight loss. The treatment of obesity should be dealt with in particular by doctors and health professionals who are knowledgeable about the issue and who use the correct diagnostic and therapeutic approach. However, the main role is played by the patient, who must be motivated and cooperate with the multidisciplinary team. The nutritional therapist sets individual dietary recommendations, taking into account the patient's state of health and current diet and eating habits. The psychologist helps to understand the patient's thoughts by analysing the psychosocial context, lifestyle analysis and habits, thus being able to change the patient's behaviour. Thus, regular nutritional and psychological intervention can lead to a higher success rate of the reduction regime. Aims: The main aim of this study is to determine the association of factors of eating habits with weight change at 1 and 2 years after bariatric surgery. The second aim is to confirm the effect of nutritional...

Vývoj potravinové bezpečnosti ve vybraných zemích jihovýchodní Afriky
Hendrychová, Marcela
The diploma thesis deals with monitoring the development of food security in Malawi, Zimbabwe and Zambia. The specific criteria for the selection of three states were the HDI indicator and the geographical location of the selected states. Through individual indicators from different pillars of food security, the work evaluates the most significant factors that cause food insecurity in the monitored countries. The theoretical part of the thesis explains the basic facts and the background of the problem, contains an explanation of key terms and terms, and defines individual causes and consequences of food security at the level of selected countries. The work also describes the most used indicators measuring food safety. The practical part based on the development of monitored indicators (average protein intake; average protein intake of animal origin; prevalence of moderate or severe food insecurity; prevalence of severe food shortage; percentage of the population using basic hygiene services; percentage of the population with access to drinking water; percentage of children under 5 years, suffering from stunting; prevalence of anemia in women of reproductive age; variability of food production per person; political stability and absence of violence/terrorism) in the period 2009-2019 examines the factors that influenced changes in these indicators. In the work, it was found that the most important factors influencing the development of food security in the observed states of Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe are climatic conditions, political and economic situation, low education of the population and infectious diseases. These factors slow down the economic growth of countries and prevent growth from developing to developed countries and result in food insecurity and consequences.

Diet's influence on human psyche
VESELÁ, Pavla
This bachelor´s thesis deals with food issues in connection with psychic´s processes. The aim was to find out how diet and psyche affect each other. I list general psychological factors, which affect food intake. I mean the sensor quality of food and the culture of dining.

1981 Irish Hunger Strike in Cinema
Kolínová, Kristýna ; Kasáková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Matějka, Ondřej (referee)
The hunger strike of Irish republican prisoners in 1981 that was held in Maze/Long Kesh prison in Northern Ireland was the culmination of a protest against the abolition of Special Category Status for convicted paramilitary prisoners. Ten men starved themselves to death. The events related to the hunger strike are not forgotten to this day and still arouse disputes in the society. This thesis focuses on the analysis of popular feature films whose main theme is the hunger strike in Northern Ireland. On a theoretical level, the thesis uses the concept of collective memory which is described in more detail and applied to the issues of cinema in the first part of the thesis. The second chapter briefly presents historical context: the hunger strike itself and also its legacy today. The last and the most important part of the text deals with three movies, namely Some Mother's Son (1996), H3 (2001) and Hunger (2008) which are compared with regard to the origin of their authors, the selection of specific aspects of the historical events and time of their creation. Besides a summary of the main findings, there is also an outline of how filmmakers generally work with the theme of hunger strike in the conclusion.

Insects as human food
Augustinová, Šárka ; Frouz, Jan (advisor) ; Pivnička, Karel (referee)
Insects as a traditional source of food widespread in tropical and subtropical regions offer significant nutritional, economical and ecological gains not only to rural communities. Western bias against insects led to gradual reduction of usage of insects as food without any compensation for lost sources of nutrition and other benefits. Current efforts of the Western world to prevent starvation of population and undo the consequences of inconsiderate human interventions into the environment are often futile and ineffective. One of possible answers to these global problems could be reestablishment of insects as a food source for the native population. Insects offer a renewable source of protein with nutritional values as high as 3186kJ per 100g of solids which exceeds the values of most species traditionally cultivated. The protein content varies throughout the various insect species from 30% in wood-worms to 81% in wasps of the genus Polybia. Moreover, the quality of these proteins is very high and the high values of the amino acids contained outperform the FAO recommended designs. Many species contain important minerals such as calcium, sulfur, iron, phosphor, magnesium and zinc and are as well rich in B vitamins, niacin, riboflavin and thiamin, which are often not incorporated enough into standard meal...

The Self-imposed Starvation
FICENECOVÁ, Lucie
This bachelor's thesis deals with different approaches to starving diet of women who follow cleansing fasting procedure and women suffering of mental anorexia. The aim of this study is to ascertain the motivation for starving diet, the reactions of other people and the behavioral changes of fasting and starving women. Data for this research were gathered by unstructured interviews. Furthermore, the bachelor's thesis focused on the use of free time both groups of women acquired. In the theoretical part, the bachelor's thesis refers to fasting procedure, its origin and its impact on psyche. It presents the results of the research on the impact of experimental fasting on psyche. The empirical part of this bachelor's thesis was based on qualitative research. Unstructured interviews were conducted with four women following cleansing fasting procedures and three women suffering of mental anorexia. This research responds to issues of motivation for fasting and starving, the reaction of other people and behaving towards other people. It was concluded by this investigation that women who follow cleansing fasting procedure and women suffering of mental anorexia evince some similar signs in their motivation however they differ in many of them. The theme of weight loss appeared in both groups of interviewed women accept one as a motive leading to starving diet. Furthermore the research reveals the urge to inspire other people to follow the starving diet. This fact does not encounter positive acceptance. On the contrary this causes strong negative response to both fasting and starving.

Obstacles and Solutions to Solving the Global Hunger Issue in the World
Obenbergerová, Lucie ; Pavlík, Petr (advisor) ; Kačírková, Eliška (referee)
The urgency of the global hunger and poverty issues has led to establishment of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals with the deadline at the end of 2015. The presented bachelor thesis focuses on the first and the most difficult goal which is to reduce extreme poverty and hunger by half compared to 1990. Obstacles to achieving the goal emerge, slow down the progress and lower the effect of the invested money and effort. The aim of the thesis is to define and evaluate the obstacles and their negative effect on developing countries and implementation of otherwise efficient solutions, which are afterwards described. The thesis supports, with an example of three successful countries from different parts of the world, the fact that by using adequate methods it is possible to achieve the goal.
