Ecotoxicological evaluation of selected psychotropic drugs
Hricová, Nikoleta ; Řezáčová, Veronika (referee) ; Zlámalová Gargošová, Helena (advisor)
This bachelor thesis done by literary research is about the issue of the occurence of psychopharmacs in the enviroment. Psychopharmacs such as antidepressants, anxiolytics, hypnotics, sedatives etc. belong to one of the most sold drugs around the world. The consumption of psychopharmacs is concerning and growing. Therofore their occurence in nature is also growing, which can negatively affect the ecosystems. Many studies confirmed the persistency of psychopharmacs in nature, their following bioaccumulation and ecotoxicity for the representatives of each ecosystem. This bachelor thesis describes possible ways of the drug’s intersection (penetration) in nature, the metabolism of psychopharmacs in the human body and the effectivity of their elimination in sewage tanks. This work also focuses on the occurence, stability, degradability and persistency of psychopharmacs in aquatic and in terrestrial enviroment. The consideration of risks in the occurence of psychopharmacs for the representatives of each ecosystems was processed by many ecotoxicological studies, which point out the danger of these substances. Based on this acquired knowledge, in the conclusion of this work, there was drafted a battery of ecotoxicological tests for the estimated effects of psychopharmacs.

Phytoextraction of Selected Psychoactive Drugs
Grasserová, Alena ; Smrček, Stanislav (advisor) ; Petrová, Šárka (referee)
Abstract, key words Fluvoxamine is one of the most used psychoactive drugs nowadays. In human body at least nine metabolites are formed and only 4 % is excreted unmetabolised by urine. This substance can be harmful for the environment at very low concentrations already. The aim of this Bachelor thesis is to find out whether we can use phytoremediation to remove the fluvoxamine from the environment. Phytoextraction of the fluvoxamine was tested on in vitro cultivated Zea mays and Pisum sativum plants. Murashige-Skoog medium contaminated with the fluvoxamine was added to cultivations. Samples were collected every 24 hours and the concentration of the drug was determined by HPLC with UV detection at 235 nm. The average concentration decrease was 54,6 % for Zea mays and 37,6 % for Pisum sativum within 72 hours. In the case of Pisum sativum, the decrease of fluvoxamine showed a linear pattern. Key words: phytoremediation, phytoextraction, psychoactive drugs, fluvoxamine, HPLC.

People without shelter and addictive substances
VČELIČKOVÁ, Karolína
This thesis deals with the problematic of homeless people and the role of psychoactive drugs in theirs everyday life in town of Pisek. The aim of thesis is to find out the importance of the psychoactive drugs for these people. What are they capable to do to get the drug and on the other hand what are they doing to limit their usage. Further aim is to find out whether those using the drugs tried of some kind of treatment or restricting theirs addictions. On the problematics of homeless people and psychoactive drugs I focused in the theoretical part of the thesis. I compile the problematics using qualitative research, when I used the methodology of questionnaire. I used the technique of semi-controlled interview. I questioned the clients of Social centre Arkada in Pisek. The clients were selected according to their ability and willingness by Arkada social worker. For evaluation I used Grounded theory. I found out the centre clients were facing certain family issues ever since their childhood. All of them had experience with psychoactive drugs from teen age. Furthermore they were facing the problems in family and with job. All these factors led to situation they found themselves on the streets without a shelter. Due to ongoing cycle of complications their situation were not getting any better, but on the contrary they were using more drugs. They created psychic and physical addiction, which they found very hard to fight. For the questioned clients of the centre the drugs represent something they cannot imagine their life. Although some of them tried the treatment, they were never able to completely eliminate them from their life. The outputs of this bachelor thesis can serve as information material for employees of social centre Arkady Pisek. There is no "cure" for the homeless people addictive to drugs to bring them back to normal life and to find their place in the society. Although I hope, that this thesis can at least a bit help to further cooperation with client, which seeks help in their fight in the centre.

PROBLEM INSIGHT OF PEOPLE WITH PSYCHOACTIVE SUBSTANCES ADDICTION
PROKŠOVÁ, Michaela
The dependancy on psycho-active drugs presents a substantial problem these days. The number of users is constantly increasing. In the adolescent groups the social norms in drug use are changing as it is not considered deviant behaviour. There are many prevention programs for potentially endangered groups. Treatments are in development which include substitution programs. In psychotherapy, which is still the dominant treatment, the key role is the question of insight to morbidity of behaviour. The goal of this bachelor´s thesis is to verify whether the people dependent on psycho-active drugs are interpreting their harmful behaviour as an illness or as a lifestyle which they have chosen. The research was implemented in a group of dependent people retrieved from a network of contact centers and in a group of dependent people in therapeutic programs of psychiatric units. I used the questionnaire method. The research technique was by interview. I stated four hypotheses. The first, and second hypothesis were confirmed while the third, and fourth hypotheses were not confirmed. The use of this bachelor´s thesis can be seen in the possibility of its mediation as an information source for secondary and tertiary prevention actions in facilities which are focusing on people dependent on psycho-active drugs.
