Possibilities of evaluating changes by women during the period of menopause and their effects on the quality of life
BELEŠOVÁ, Romana
Menopause is a period, which is perceived as a natural part of female lifecycle. The way how women experience this period is individual, it differs in the intensity of the experience which is influenced by a variety of factors. Among the most important factors belong the biological as well as genetic factors, lifestyle, family environment, relationships between people, job as well as ethnical and cultural influences. The above-mentioned factors contribute to the occurrence of symptoms and changes connected in the life of a female. Standardised tools that are used and helpful in the clinical practice should be reliable, sensitive, and specific to certain symptoms. The objective of this doctoral theses is to map the use of evaluating tools with women in the period of menopause, to analyse symptoms influencing the quality of life, to create educational program for women and to find out if education has an impact on the knowledge of women on the menopause issues. The research was carried out in combination of two research methods - quantitative and qualitative. The quantitative research was designed as a descriptive cross-sectional study. The design of the descriptive qualitative study was used for the qualitative research. For the methodology of the qualitative research the Standards for qualitative research were applied. For the quantitative research a research sample I was set up. It was composed of women with a permanent residence in the southbohemian region in the ages of 45-65. For these respondents three types of questionnaires were designed, the standardised WHOQOL-BREF, WHQ and the unstandardised questionnaire. The data analyses were executed via SASD programmes (Statistical data analyses) and SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences). The qualitative research was realised in two phases. The first part of the research was carried out before the educational programme was realised and the second part took place 3 month after finishing the educational programme. For the purposes of the qualitative research analyses elements of embedded theory using open and axial coding were applied. There were two research samples that were subject to the qualitative study. The research sample II was composed of women in the ages 45-55. The research sample III composed of midwives working in the primary care. In midwifery in the clinical practice no measuring tools are used to evaluate the quality of life and health of women in menopause. Nowadays the evaluating scales are applied in research studies rather than in the clinical practice. In our quantitative study women evaluated the quality of life primarily as good. While evaluating the individual domains via the WHOQOL-BREF tool, women rated their physical condition the best and on the contrary the environment they live in the worst. When qualifying their health condition based on comparison of individual dimensions using the standardised WHQ tool, women mentioned the vasomotor symptoms as bothering and on the contrary, they rated anxieties/worries as not so bothering. In the qualitative part of the research women qualified the following symptoms as the most frequent: hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, corrupted sleep, gaining weight, mental and cognitive changes. Conclusion: In the framework of the study based on the results an educational brochure for women was created. The aim of this brochure is to provide information about the problematic of the menopause period, about the symptoms, about the diagnostics, about the therapy and about the regime precautions. At the same time as a part of the research an educational programme for women was prepared. This programme focused on climacteric symptoms, diagnoses, therapy and the use of regime precautions leading to relief from the menopause difficulties. In this field, midwives still play a significant role. Midwives should lead women to accept the positive approach to the issues of menopause period.

Psychosocial effects of tinnitus
Svatošová, Martina ; Ondrušová, Jiřina (advisor) ; Krahulcová, Beáta (referee)
Annotation: Master thesis "Psychosocial effects of tinnitus" is based on a general approach to this phenomenon as a disease of civilization. The symptom that tinnitus represents is underestimated in Czech Republic as well as treatment possibilities and the impact of tinnitus itself on person's life and his/hers surroundings. It can have devastating consequences. Coping with tinnitus can be very difficult if not impossible and in the end it can lead to suicidal attempt. Similar negative effects as on affected person can tinnitus have on his/hers closest surroundings which could not understand him/her.

The best interest of a child in the context of biopsychosocial aspects of health
Benešová, Zdeňka ; Hanušová, Jaroslava (referee) ; Váchová, Alena (referee)
The rigorous work can be considered as a response to the issue of child health promotion, which is currently still focused mainly on somatic health, while there is a long-term deficit and underestimation of psychosocial health promotion. The systematically conceived theoretical part of the thesis is based on the existing health status of the population and presents the biopsychosocial concept of health and its legislative anchoring in relation to ensuring the best interests of the child. The work also includes reflections on health and illness as the ability to cope with life stress and maintain homeostasis. The fundamental concept is the recognition of a living organism as a self-regulatory system with the ability to create symptoms at all levels of existence. In the viewpoint of the rigorous work, symptomatology can be seen as a specific language that allows to find a way for the organism to stop producing the symptoms of the illness and to cure it. The thesis entirely respects current health services, which are extended to support the psychosocial aspects of health in such a way that its individual aspects are given comparable attention. For the purposes of practice, the work focuses on health education in the family and at school and on children with an increased need for psychosocial support...

Studium fytoplazmy ESFY a jejich projevů u odrůd meruněk a broskvoní
Kopřivová, Vladimíra
The aim of this study was to obtain detailed knowledge of the symptomatic expression of various isolates European Stone Fruit Yellows phytoplasma (ESFY) on selected rootstocks, susceptibility testing of selected rootstocks to phytoplasma ESFY and exploration of the extent and impact of phytoplasma ESFY to the biological properties of pollen, seeds, some phenological and pomological characters of varieties of apricot fruit. After three years of observation of pomological characterictics of fruits from ESFY infected trees and comparing to pomological characteristics of fruits from healthy trees of 16 apricots varieties the most susceptible varieties to ESFY were infected trees Arzami Aromatnyj, Hatif Colomer, Veselka and Vestar. These varieties were significantly reduced overall size and weight of fruit due to present ESFY phytoplasma. During the research no shrunken or deformed fruits were found, fruits from infected trees were just rounder than fruit from healthy trees. Effect of ESFY phytoplasma on pollen germination, early flowering, ripening time, soluble dry matter of the fruit and seed viability was not so significant. Symptomatic manifestation of the annual shoots grown through the inocula, originating from nine selected infected trees of different varieties of apricots and one peach tree and symptomatic manifestation of plants from five different rootstocks, which were inoculated, was during the three years of observing very diverse. It was found, that it is dependent on botanical species, variety, rootstock, growing conditions and the interactions of the pathogen and the host. The most susceptible annual shoots to present ESFY phytoplasma were the grown from inocula sampled from infected tree variety Jantze peach and Murfatlar apricot. Chlorotic leafroll, yellows and growth depressions appeared most on annual shoots. The least susceptible response to ESFY phytoplasma was demonstrated on shoots grown through from inoculum originating from apricot tree variety Poyer. In this variety there were the most numerous shoots without symptoms compared with other varieties. In most varieties (Jantze, Saldcot, Poljus Južnyj a Hargrand_2) with a higher frequency of positive shoots the chlorotic leafroll was the most represent symptom, so it will be a typical symptom for ESFY pyhtoplasma. Symptomatic manifestation of rootstock plants in combination with inocula from ten selected varieties reached lower frequency of evaluated characteristics compared to annual shoots. Based on the resulting reaction of shoots grown through inocula of tested varieties and reaction of rootstock plants to presence of ESFY phytoplasma, the most susceptible rootstock was GF 305, susceptible rootstock was GF/8/1, less susceptible was M/LE/1 and the least susceptible rootstocks were Torinel and St.Julien 655/2. Sensitivity reaction of rootstocks file to present ESFY phytoplasma was observed for three years at fifteen selected rootstocks, whose plants were inoculated by two inocula from different varieties. Rootstocks plants without any symptoms had the highest frequency (84.37 %), and the most widespread symptom was the leaf yellows (average 10.5 %). Rootstocks were divided into four groups according to their susceptibility to ESFY phytoplasma. The most susceptible response was manifested on rootstocks GF 305 and GF 677, rootstocks MRS 2/5, VVA1, Strážovický myrobalán, Lesiberian, AP1 and GF 31 were susceptible, rootstocks M/LE/1 and Myrobalán 29C were less susceptible and the least susceptible rootstocks to ESFY phytoplasma were Torinel, St. Julien 655/2, GF/8/1 and MY/KL/A.

Private Archives - The Traces of Past in Our Present
Zíková, Markéta ; Fišerová, Michaela (advisor) ; Charvát, Martin (referee)
The main topic of Master thesis with the title Private Archives - The Traces of Past in Our Present, is creation of private archives and how reading and work of French philosopher Gilles Deleuze support understanding of those archives and establishment of intimate history of human being. Private archives are represented by any object, collections of objects or by anything else what reminds to owner or author of archives his past and who is returning back to the past through this object. Private archives are present in life of human being and we are coming back to the archives whenever we consider it important and whenever we want. Private archives are the part of life of all of us and that is why I consider crucial to understand their functioning, their role in our life and to know how to use them. The private archives, unlike our memories, which can be mixed one into each other, represent concrete tool referring to our past. The master thesis includes the description of practical part which is represented by creation of private archive, the functioning and the characteristics are also described. Three philosophers who influenced Gilles Deleuze have their place in this master thesis as well. I am referring to Michel Foucault, Henri Bergson and Marcel Proust.
