Our planet has been facing enormous challenges over the last century, caused by population growth, an ever-evolving industry, resulting in ever-increasing CO2 production, rising water levels, misuse of agricultural land and the extinction of animal species. This causes the destruction of the Biome. Architectural and urban tendencies in the construction of cities, which do not change even today, use the maximum area, materials that cannot be recycled, also have a large share in this. Insufficient use of renewable resources, modern agriculture, self-sufficiency, both housing and urban structures. The reason for not using these technologies is largely a political and commercial problem. The aim of this work is to examine the problems we face today and find meaningful solutions. Change existing architectural and urban trends. To create a self-sufficient structure in places where Biomes were destroyed and to create new ones accordingly. These places often have poor living conditions, such as high temperatures, lack of drinking water and overcrowding. With the help of simple rules of working with the landscape and the use of modern technology, create a new biosphere environment, change the climatic conditions in a given place and create suitable conditions for the life of both plant and animal communities. The structure should be inhabited by a certain number of people who will live in modules that will be fully self-sufficient, following the ISS model. Provide plenty of drinking water, food and energy. The structure should be created from plastic waste by new construction technologies, such as 3D printing using nanotechnology and carbon fiber. This should make it fully recyclable and renewable. The goal is to work with one structure and subsequently create another structure.

Architecture of the extreme
Nohejl, Jakub ; Müller, Rudolf (referee) ; Kaftan, Martin (advisor)
Inhospitable environment of mountain ridges was considered uninhabitable for a long time of human civilization. Adverse weather with extreme fluctuations and difficult accessibility discouraged many people interested in development of this location. However, there still were objects that tried to withstand the weather. One of the examples is the exposed chalet Chata na Rozcestí located on the ridge of the Krkonoše Mountains at an altitude of 1,349 m above sea level. The chalet has been constantly struggling with the inhospitable environment of almost 90 years. Its aim is to provide shelter and refreshments for tourists passing by. Over time, all existing buildings in this location suffered from the bad weather. Due to the high operation demands of the current building, the owner is very interested in rebuilding the chalet. The design of chalet Chata na Rozcestí brings a new perspective on the problematics of this locality. In response to the surrounding landscape of the Krkonoše National Park, the design works not only with weather conditions, but also in terms of sustainability and self-sufficiency.
Self-Sufficient Home for 9000 Inhabitants
Valový, Přemysl ; Rudiš, Viktor (referee) ; Mléčka, Jan (advisor)
The objective of this diploma project is to propose a new self-sufficient city for 9000 inhabitants. The city as a phenomenon accompanying mankind for centuries has become an integral part of a physical and cultural heritage of our civilization. Accumulation of its population, ideas and material possessions always led to the remarkable act of creativity and efforts, that was always pushing mankind further. Nowadays cities are faced with a myriad of crises, both economic and social. However we shouldn't forget, with a view to the future, the impending ecological crisis. The rapid growth of the past is followed by a gradual decay in the current age. Moreover, in today's globalized society, the town becomes materially totally dependent on its surroundings. It drains resources from less developed land to feed its inhabitants. We can hardly predict consequences that would arise if these resources were cut off. With the precipitous pace of urban growth and migration of the world's population into densely urbanized areas* arise to us a question, if in these non-urban (agricultural) areas will be still somebody, who will nourish these future metropolis? * (since 2010, more than a half of the world population lives in cities) The aim to create a new self-sufficient city isn't a kind of compensation for contemporary cities, but an attempt to create a working model that would be generally applicable on a present towns. It should hint the way, which they could take to achieve self-sufficiency, less dependence on imports, functional community life reinforcing a higher unity and sophisticated environmental legacy for future generations. The goal of these efforts is not a "moving the population into this model city", but the movement of ideas from model town into existing cities.

Malečková, Zuzana ; Nováková, Petra (advisor) ; Nováková, Olga (referee)
BACHELOR THESIS ABSTRACT Name, Surname: Zuzana Malečková Supervisor: Mgr. Petra Novotná Consultant: Bc. Aneta Křivánková Title: Occupational therapy in the rehabilitation of patients after fracture of the distal radius and hand Abstract: This is a theoretical-practical work. The theoretical part briefly describes the anatomy and kinesiology of the upper limb with a focus on the hand and wrist, and then presents a summary of the most common fractures in this body part. The last and the longest chapter is about the possibilities of occupational therapy for patients fractures of the distal radius and hand, especially in the period after removal of fixation. Occupational therapy has a very wide application for these patients. Functional disorders of the hand and wrist, which are a frequent complication of fracture treatment, are often closely related to the limitation of self-sufficiency and have a great impact on the patient's quality of life. The aim of the practical part is chosen and verify the occupational therapy methods for people with fractures of the distal radius and hand. This section contains case reports of three patients, two of whom suffered a distal radius fracture and one with fracture of the fifth metacarpal. Each case report contains a detailed initial and discharge examination with a focus...
Assessment of motor skills and functional abilities in children with CP by correlation of Locomotor stages according to Vojta and the PEDI and TCMS tests.
Halámka, Jiří ; Šafářová, Marcela (advisor) ; Smetanová, Jana (referee)
The study evaluates the level of gross motor skills in pediatric patients with cerebral palsy (CP) using Vojta's Locomotor Stages, postural stability during sitting, and its influence on independence and mobility. The theoretical part of the study provides an overview of cerebral palsy, its classification, and diagnosis. It describes the utilization of current standardized scales employed in this diagnosis, specifically for assessing posture and postural stability while sitting. Furthermore, it summarizes knowledge about the functional abilities of children with CP (self-care, mobility, and social functions) in relation to psychomotor development. The primary objective was to determine the impact of gross motor skill levels on a child's trunk stability and to establish correlations between trunk stability and the independence and mobility of pediatric patients with cerebral palsy. Methodology: In the Practical part, we examined 25 pediatric patients with cerebral palsy using the Trunk Control Measurement Scale (TCMS), which is used to evaluate sitting stability in static and dynamic skills. Additionally, we queried the patients' parents using the standardized Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI) questionnaire, which is used to assess children's functional abilities in the areas of...
Specific nursing care for a frail senior
FRISCHOVÁ, Karolína
The aim of the bachelor thesis entitled "Specific nursing care for a frail senior" was to map the specifics of nursing care for a fragile senior and to find out the use of evaluation tests in practice, or to find the most adequate tool for the evaluation of seniors. In the theoretical part of the bachelor thesis, I focused on the definition of the concept of old age and aging and the problems associated with it, as well as on a detailed description of geriatric frailty from a theoretical point of view and, last but not least, on the assessment scales for a comprehensive assessment of seniors. The chapter is also devoted to proper nutrition in old age, which should not be forgotten in health care and personal life and is often key in the prevention and treatment of diseases. Part of the bachelor thesis is also devoted to risk areas that threaten seniors with geriatric frailty. The last subchapter of the theoretical part is devoted to the importance of motivation in the process of returning the senior's self-sufficiency and not giving up the goal and hope when being bedridden. The practical part of the bachelor thesis was filled with quantitative research investigation, using evaluation tests: SPPB to assess the physical fitness of seniors (see Appendix 1), questionnaire SARC-F (see Annex 2) to determine the degree of sarcopenia and Criteria for the evaluation of fragility according to Friedová (see Appendix 3). Part of the research was carried out in the Home for the Elderly in Bechyně, the other part consisted of members of my family and neighbors over 70 years of age. Testing was anonymous and completely voluntary. The research was processed by means of tables and graphs and statistical processing of hypotheses was done by Chi-square test and correlation method. The aim was early identification of frail patient in health care settings and finding a suitable measurement tool for clinical practice.

Author: Markéta Kolářová Thesis supervisor: Mgr. Petra Nováková Title: The influence of mobility on self-sufficiency of patients after proximal femur fracture This thesis deals with proximal femur fractures and their impact on self-sufficiency and mobility of patients with this diagnosis. This trauma is very common, and because of the increasing incidence, high morbidity and mortality, negative impact on self-sufficiency and quality of life and high economic cost, it is a worldwide problem that needs to be solved. An important part of taking care of these patients is rehabilitation which includes physiotherapy. The thesis has got two parts - theoretical and practical. The theoretical part includes the characteristics of proximal femur fractures and describes their influence on the mobility and the relation between mobility and self-sufficiency. The practical part includes 3 case studies of patients with the diagnosis of a proximal femur fracture. Objectives: The main objective of the theoretical part is to make clear characteristics of proximal femur fractures and to summarize the issue of loss and recovery of mobility and self- sufficiency in relation with these fractures. The main objective of the practical part is to describe the effect of a physiotherapeutic intervention on mobility and...
