Life of a patient with ankylosing spondylitis
ŠÍMOVÁ, Markéta
The bachelor thesis deals with the life of a patient with ankylosing spondylitis. The thesis is divided into a theoretical part and a practical part. The theoretical part presents anatomy and physiology of the spine, ankylosing spondylitis, its diagnosis and therapy. Furthermore, attention was paid to nursing care, communication and needs in everyday life of a patient with ankylosing spondylitis. The practical part of the bachelor's thesis was conducted through a qualitative research investigation, using the method of questioning, the technique of individual semi-structured interview. The study sample consisted of 7 patients with ankylosing spondylitis in a healthcare facility. Three objectives were chosen for the bachelor thesis. The first aim was to find out in which areas of normal daily activities ankylosing spondylitis affects the patient. The second aim was to investigate the role of the patient's family in the integration of the patient into normal daily activities. The third aim was to explore patients' perceptions of nurses' support in relation to their illness. In line with the objectives, research questions were set. Based on the results, it was found that patients with AS manage normal daily activities independently or with only minor assistance. Patients use compensatory aids to help them cope better with everyday activities. Treatment has a big impact on the patient's life, even though they use spa treatments and exercise daily. The research also showed that the support of family and friends plays a big role in the patient's life. Patients require more information from the nurse in collaboration with the doctor about treatment options, compensatory aids, exercise and social support.

Conceptualization of Life in the Czech Popular Lyrics (Contribution to the Study of the Linguistic Picture of the World)
Janovská, Zuzana ; Vaňková, Irena (advisor) ; Saicová Římalová, Lucie (referee)
This thesis examines the conceptualization of life in the lyrics of Czech popular songs of 1960s. The thesis derives theoretically and methodologically from cognitively and culturally-based approaches to language, especially from the theory of conceptual metaphor and metonymy (e. g. Lakoff and Johnson) and the concept of language as a picture of the world (school of Lublin). At first the thesis analyses the semantics of lexeme life. The analysis is based on the data from dictionaries and it reaches the basics of the linguistic picture of life as it is anchored in common language. Simultaneously the thesis works with the picture of life (in contrast with death) how it is served in the literature about Czech folk culture. The main part of this study consists of almost a hundred interpretations of lyrics from the examined period, which depict human life in its various stages and forms (through oppositions of life - death, youth - old age, etc.). The analysis follows relevant semantic elements which participate on its conceptualization. The thesis describes systematically and in detail particularly metaphors (structural, ontological and orientational), metonymy, and also the image schemes which are associated with life (scheme of JOURNEY, CYCLE). The attention is paid to their specific language...
