Využití fytoterapie v chovu koní
HAVLÍKOVÁ, Natálie
The aim of this bachelor thesis was to conduct research on phytotherapy and herbs used in horse breeding and internal parasites and their developmental stages. Breed-ers are increasingly paying attention to the health care of horses, and for that reason they tend to use unconventional medicine, such as herbs. The research focused on monitoring the effectiveness of a herbal mixture by WILD HERBS s.r.o. which supports against internal parasites, and recommenda-tions for the use of herbs in horse breeding. Monitoring took place on a farm in Mažice, where horses received a mixture fed in several stages by a feeding machine. After feeding the mixture, a coprological examination followed. Large and small strongyles, horse roundworm and horse tapeworm were found in the monitored farm. A clear indication of the effectiveness of the mixture when fed was a signifi-cant reduction in EPG values compared to previous years, which was also the goal. The EPG value in 2022 was 273 which is a significant decrease compared to the previous year of 2021 when the average EPG value was 634. The difference in EPG values between seasons was not significant. The value is rather determined by the current weather or the arrival of a new horse in the herd and the resistance of indi-viduals to the infection. The mixture had a very favorable effect on most horses, but at some point, a few individuals had higher EPG values, which could have been de-termined by several other factors. The steps needed to support a partially parasite-free breeding include collecting faeces, dragging pastures and monitoring the level of parasitic infection, giving suitable herbal mixtures and using anthelmintics in case of heavy infection.

Usage of alternative methods and natural products as means to increase immunity in the adult population of the Czech Republic
NEDBALOVÁ, Martina
For my diploma thesis I have chosen the topic of utilization of alternative methods and natural remedies as means of increasing immunity of the adult population of the Czech republic. The thesis is divided into two parts - theoretical and practical. In the theoretical part I deal with the explanation of basic terms related to the immune system, function of the immune system and its division, namely to non-specific and specific immunity and further to humoral and cellular immunity. In a separate chapter I talk about natural resources and procedures that support the immune system. I touch on the effects of homeopathy, phytotherapy, hardening, gemmotherapy, forest therapy and the usage of the food supplements. The last chapter deals with the influence of lifestyle on the functioning of the immune system. I talk here mainly about things that have negative influence on the immune system, such as lack of physical activity, lack of sleep, substance abuse and I also mention the negative impact of excessive stress on human health. The theoretical part is followed by the practical park, for which I've set myself four main goals. The primary goal is to determine whether, and if so, what procedures and products are used by the adult population of the Czech republic to improve their immunity. Furthermore, I try to find out whether there are people in the population who visit general practicioner even when they catch just a common cold. The third goal is to find out what is the attitude of the adult population of the Czech republic towards the use of homeopatics for bolstering the immune system. The final goal of the thesis is to find out whether the are adults who used or are still regularly using some food supplement as a preventive measure for bolstering the immune system. Part of this thesis is a quantitative research based on the method of questioning. The questionnaire was compiled on the basis of my research assumptions and it was published online for anonymous completion. My diploma thesis can be used for better orientation in this problematics, as source of information concerning strengthening of immunity by natural means and last but not least also as a guide for direct application of some alternative ways into your lifestyle and thus strengthening your immunity.

Alternative medicine in specialized media and the reflection of these phenomena in the selected mainstream press media
Kábrt, Jiří ; Wolák, Radim (advisor) ; Kocourková, Lucie (referee)
Diploma thesis "Alternative medicine in the specialized media and reflections of these phenomena in the selected mainstream press media" is researching specialized magazines with content oriented on alternative medicine emerging in the 90's of the previous century and in one case in the beginning of the 21st century. Thesis specifically examinates magazines - social magazine Reflex (on account of alternative medicine materials in the 1990 and 1991), Regena ( 1990 and 1991), Regenerace (1993 and 1994) and Meduňka (2004). In their first years magazines are described from historical and content perspective and in the same time they are contrasted with the topical volume of their predecessors (except of Reflex magazine). Another part of thesis is dedicated to observing two important czech daily papers - Mladá fronta / Mladá fronta Dnes and Lidové noviny (at the same observed periods). All five volumes of both periodicals contained numerous references which proves attractivity of these themes for society as a whole. While the analysis of specialized magazines was dealing with form by which are people interested in alternative medicine, reading of Mladá fronta / Mladá fronta Dnes and Lidové noviny evaluated general attitude of media to reader mostly uninitiated to these matters.
