Matoušek, Pavel ; Bartošková, Monika (referee) ; Němčák,, Ondřej (advisor)
This thesis analyses misuse potential of category 1, 2 and 3 firework´s products. An algorithm for selection of pyrotechnic products with the biggest potential of misuse was created and experimetally tested on common firework products. An experiment replicating the Boston incident was also conducted. And in this experiment was found out, that pyrotechnical compositions used in common firework products could have been used.

Abuse of the Sources of Ionizing Radiation
NOVOTNÝ, Matěj
The goal of submitted bachelor thesis is to summarize the problem of a possible misuse of ionizing radiaton sources, and especially to evaluate the Region of South Bohemia´s citizens´ knowledge within the area of ionizing radiation sources misuse. To fulfill the given goals it is necessary to study expert literature as well as the formulation of hypotheses which are further tested and examined in action. Individual questions are subsequently processed and evaluated. Determined hypotheses are tested on the basis of parametirized and non-parametirized testing. The bachelor thesis should introduce the reader to the basic terms within the area of ionozong radiation problem and its positive and negative use. Mainly it includes terms such as ionizing radiation and its biological effects, protection from ionizing radiation, and its sources. Attention is also paid to the use of ionizing radiation in radiotherapeutic and radiologic departments, in nuclear medicine or industry. In the following theoretical part the thesis focuses on the misuse of ionizing radiation sources as well as on radiologic terrorism which occurs as a huge threat for the humankind, having been already fulfilled several times. Nowadays, the greatest risk has been the use of a radiological weapon, so-called ´dirty bomb´ which may be misused by radical terrorist groups or may be available on the ´black market´. The practical part focuses on the research connected to the Region of South Bohemia citizens´ knowledge within the area of ionizing radiation and its misuse. This research is implemented via a questionnare survey. The questionnare contains 13 multiple-choice questions. Each question contains 4 multiple-choice answers (in the form of a), b), c), d)) out of which only one is correct. Two cities and five municipalities in the region of South Bohemia were randomly selected. There were 200 questionnaires in total out of which the first half was meant for cities and the other one was meant for municipalities. Questionning was carried out among respondents within age categories of 18-70 and questionnaire survey was carried out during the period of May to June 2016. In general the evaluated results of the questionnaire survey have showed that most knowledge regarding the given topic of the bachelor thesis was average, rather below the average. To be more specific, a higher success rate was noticed in the interviewed city residents rather than in municipality citizens. The difference in response unsuccess rate may be found in questions no. 7, no. 10, and no. 11 when interviewed municipality citizens had worse results in 68% average in comparison to city residents. On the contrary, municipality citizens proved better knowledge in question no. 9. Questions number 1, also number 2 and number 3 got the highest response success rate in all intervewed city residents and municipality citizens, where approximately more than 50% of the interviewed replied correctly. The main benefit of the bachelor thesis is the gained image of the Region of South Bohemia cities and municipalities´ citizens´ knowledge of the possible misuse of ionizing radiation sources. The theoretical part may serve as a study text for students of Population Protection study subject or connected study subjects.

Kempný, Marius ; Kobliha, Pavel (advisor) ; Loužek, Marek (referee)
The purpose of this study is to investigate the facts related to counterfeiting and misuse of drugs in health care, including their economic and social impacts. The intention is to compare the sample of countries in this respect and to show a correlation between the development of the country and the counterfeiting or misuse of drugs. The selected problem is solved with the available statistics for individual countries and surveys conducted by the World Health Organisation. The work is divided into three parts. The first part focuses on the introduction to forgery and misuse of drugs and its economic and social impacts. It is also the typology of counterfeiting and fight methods against counterfeiting. The second part is focused on performing an analysis of selected countries with distinctive drug markets in order to compare their situations and finding relationships in terms of economic advancement. The last section focuses on recommendations and potential solutions to this problem. The thesis provides a comprehensive overview of the issues at the international level and highlights the lack of attention to counterfeiting in healthcare.
