Determination of thermal properties of gloves by means of thermal manikin
Pidrová, Kateřina ; Pokorný, Jan (referee) ; Fišer, Jan (advisor)
This diploma thesis is focused on determination of thermal properties of gloves by means of thermal manikin. The background research with relation to this topic together with derivation of the computational equations used for the following measurement are presented in the first part. The most significant part of this work is suggestion of procedure for measuring the heat resistance of gloves with thermal manikin based on procedure from ČSN EN 511. This methodics was verificated with 5 pairs of gloves together with analysing the uncertainties and testing the repeatability of this measurement. This work also contains the outline for all of the measured pairs with posibilities of their usage in specific situations and surrounding air temperatures. At the end of this work is mentioned brief summary of achieved results.

The influence of moisture on the thermal properties of the gloves
Janíčková, Žaneta ; Toma, Róbert (referee) ; Fišer, Jan (advisor)
This diploma thesis is focused on the assessment of the influence of moisture on the thermal properties of the gloves. The first part of the thesis deals with the research of topics related to the given issue as well as with the derivation of the computational relations needed for evaluation of experimental measurements. The main focus of the work lies on defining the hypotheses and experiments that are used to verify the influence of moisture on the thermal resistance of gloves. As for the experimental part, it describes the individual methods of moistening the gloves from which the moistening through the air humidity and the moistening by the immersion were analysed. To verify the suitability of selected moistening methods, the tested glove samples were measured on the thermal manikin both in a dry and a moistened state under the conditions defined by ČSN EN 511 and ČSN EN ISO 15831 standards. Individual states were repeatedly measured and afterwards the progresses of thermal resistance depending on time were graphically displayed. The thesis also includes analysis of measurement uncertainties as well as evaluation of measurement repeatability. From the obtained results, both the defined hypotheses and theoretical assumptions about the decrease of the thermal resistance of a textile material due to the influence of moisture were confirmed in the conclusion of the diploma thesis.

In my final work I deal with the topic of handicap, disability and otherness. Any otherness causes fear in society, fear of ignorance. Being healthy, "normal," means the assumption of a full-fledged life of modern man. A disabled person, whether physically or mentally, does not meet these priorities and ideas of normality. I try to point out the handicap positively, not to hide it. I also work on the qualities of beauty and ugliness because they are very similar to health and disability issues. My final work is focused on the affected bodies. The result is a set of exposed objects that, in conjunction with the installation, can act as luxury goods. The work consists of about fifteen hand-sewn gloves of various shapes and materials. They are very extraordinary objects that only "sit" for the chosen. The aim of the work is to contribute to works that seek to promote disability in art or culture.

Apparatus for measuring the thermal resistance of the gloves
Pelikán, Jakub ; Fišer, Jan (referee) ; Hejčík, Jiří (advisor)
This thesis deals with common problem health protection at work. Namely hand protection during the work in very cold environment. It’s an analysis of materials suitable for apparatus used for measuring the thermal resistance of the gloves. There was analysed a range of materials. Every single sample was tested for heat conductivity and afterwards was assessed the suitability of materials. Heat was generated by electricity. Ocured heat fields was assessed with thermocamera. After performed experiments of carbon fiber we haven’t reached any satisfying results which we could use for manufacturing of this device. On the other hand kapton film has given very interesting results which we would recommend eventually. Kapton film needs to be modify according to the method listed in the conlusion. This thesis gives us a clear overview and inspiration for additional research of this device. It finds it’s place in research facilities and companies manufacturing protective clothing.

The use of gloves in nursing care.
REJNARTOVÁ, Květa
Current Situation: New demands in health care are on the rise, especially in nursing care. Protection against infection is an integral part of this process. Every hospital has developed standards that describe the use of gloves during certain procedures. Glove use protects the nurse as well as the patient from infections. The responsibility of every health worker is to comply with these standards and norms. The Bachelor's thesis "The Use of Gloves in Nursing Practice" informs about the real practices regarding compliance with the standards and also about the occurrence of allergies. Aim of the research: The aim of the research survey was to verify theoretical knowledge, such as standards and norms, related to procedures during which the medical staff use gloves and compare this knowledge with the actual compliance. Two aims were selected: 1. Evaluate the use of gloves in healthcare according to the standards and compare them with reality. 2. Determine the occurrence of allergies in medical personnel related to the use of gloves. Methodology: The empirical part of the research survey was conducted using qualitative research. The data were collected anonymously in three hospitals by means of a semi-structured interview. The interview consisted of three identification and eight open-ended questions. All the interviews were rewritten and analyzed by a "paper and pencil" method. Hidden observations were carried out before the interviews and recorded on the sheet. Results: The results of the research survey showed that there were differences between the theoretical training of medical personnel and the practical implementation according to the standards. Glove use is perceived as insignificant and most of the procedures are done without them. Medical personnel do not realize the importance of the standards and they behave as they see fit, not afraid of transmission of infection. They do not endanger only themselves, but the patients as well. The occurrence of latex allergy among medical personnel was confirmed. This allergy appears despite the better quality of gloves and their availability. The analysis of the research survey showed that the quality of gloves is also key to compliance with standards. Management should carry out more frequent inspections and audits. Conclusion: The Bachelor's thesis explored the discrepancies between theory and practice in patient care according to standards. Hospitals should not focus only on the economic aspect of protection of medical personnel but should purchase quality gloves. Training in glove use should be regular and consistent with the standards. The issue could be solved by regular inspections by the management of the department and regular audits. Next solution could be an adequate motivation of medical personnel by the hospital management. Protection of an individual means protection of the entire health facility.
