Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka effekter av olika typer av målsättningar (öppna mål och specifika mål) på motivation (intresse/njutning, press/spänning, upplevd motivation) och prestation (distans) i en promenaduppgift hos individer som inte utför regelbunden fysisk träning. Målsättning har visats vara den mest frekvent använda strategin inom interventioner för att öka fysisk aktivitet hos friska, inaktiva vuxna. Nuvarande tillämpning baseras ofta på specifika mål men öppna mål utmanar målsättningsprincipen om att mål ska vara specifika. Det finns en avsaknad av forskning på effekter av öppna mål och därav avser denna studie att experimentellt utöka den befintliga kunskapen. Deltagarna var 14 individer som inte utförde regelbunden fysisk träning och som var mellan 20 och 32 år gamla (M=23.64, SD=3.37). Studiens design var en experimentell studie med inomgruppsdesign med tre nivåer av den oberoende variabeln målsättning (specifika mål, öppna mål och inga mål) och dess effekter på de beroende variablerna motivation och prestation. Deltagarna besökte en idrottshall vid två tillfällen där de utförde tre försök av en 6-minuters promenaduppgift och besvarade frågeformulär gällande motivation. Vid ena tillfället utförde deltagarna ett försök i kontrollförhållandet (inga mål) följt av två försök med specifik målsättning. Vid andra tillfället utförde de ett försök i kontrollförhållandet följt av två försök med öppen målsättning. Beroende t-tester visade att deltagarna visade statistiskt signifikant högre värden i intresse/njutning och upplevd motivation när de delgavs specifika mål i jämförelse med kontrollförhållandet. Specifika mål ledde även till statistiskt signifikant större ökning i upplevd motivation mellan kontrollförhållandet och specifik målsättning i jämförelse med kontrollförhållandet och öppen målsättning. Vidare presterade deltagarna statistiskt signifikant högre när de delgavs öppen och specifik målsättning i jämförelse med kontrollförhållandet. Resultatet föreslår att specifika mål och öppna mål är fördelaktiga för att öka prestation i jämförelse med inga mål och att specifika mål är fördelaktiga för att främja motivation hos individer som inte utövar regelbunden fysisk träning. Detta resultat går i linje med tidigare forskning och tillämpning som förespråkar specifika mål för att främja motivation och prestation. / The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of different types of goals (open goals and specific goals) on motivation (interest/enjoyment, pressure/tension, perceived motivation) and performance (distance) in a walking task among individuals who do not engage in regular physical exercise. Goal-setting has been shown to be the most frequently used strategy in interventions to increase physical activity in healthy, inactive adults. Current practice often rely on specific goals but open goals challenge the goal-setting principle that goals should be specific. There is a lack of research on the effect of open goals and therefore this study aims to experimentally expand existing knowledge. The participants were 14 individuals who did not engage in regular physical exercise and were between 20 and 32 years old (M=23.64, SD=3.37). The study design was an experimental within-group design with three levels of the independent variable goal-setting (specific goals, open goals, and no goals) and its effects on the dependent variables of motivation and performance. Participants visited a sports hall on two occasions where they performed three trials of a 6-minute walking task and answered questionnaires regarding motivation. In one session, participants conducted a baseline trial (no goals), followed by two trials with specific goal setting. In the other session, they conducted a baseline trial followed by two trials with open goal setting. Dependent t-tests indicated that participants showed significantly higher values in interest/enjoyment and perceived motivation when assigned specific goals compared to the control condition. Specific goals also led to a significantly greater increase in perceived motivation between baseline trial and specific goal-setting compared to baseline trial and open goal-setting. Furthermore, participants performed significantly higher when assigned open and specific goal-setting compared to the control condition. The results suggest that specific and open goals are beneficial for increasing performance compared to no goals, and specific goals are beneficial for promoting motivation in individuals who do not engage in regular physical exercise. This finding aligns with previous research and practice advocating for specific goals to enhance motivation and performance.

Organizacijos kultūra yra daugelio mokslo krypčių tyrimų objektas. Siekiant atskleisti organizacijos kultūros įtaką kompanijų konkurencingumui, šiame darbe daugiausia analizuojami informacijos ir komunikacijos, vadybos krypties darbai.Nors organizacijos kultūros sampratos, kūrimo ir įgyvendinimo tematika užsienio ir Lietuvos moksliniuose darbuose nagrinėjama plačiai, tačiau apie organizacijos kultūros daromą įtaką tarptautinių kompanijų konkurencingumui mokslo literatūroje užsimenama retai – teoriniai šių sričių tyrimai negausūs.Kompanijos, siekiančios pirmauti, susiduria su dviem pagrindiniais iššūkiais: būtinybe integruoti atskirus žmones į tikslingą visumą ir adaptuotis prie aplinkos, kad išgyventų, kad būtų konkurencingos. Ieškodamos šių problemų sprendimo būdų kompanijos remiasi kolektyviniu ugdymu, kuris padeda formuoti tam tikras bendras vertybes bei nuostatas ir yra vadinamas organizacijos kultūra.organizacijos kultūra ne tik užtikrina darbuotojų tapatumo jausmą (kuo labiau nustatytos kompanijos vertybės, tuo labiau žmonės tapatinasi su kompanijos užduotimis), ugdo atsidavimą kompanijai (esant stipriai suvienijančiai kultūrai žmonės pradeda jausti save didelės visumos dalimi ir įsitraukia į visos kompanijos darbą), bet ir turi didelės reikšmės kompanijos konkurencingumui, nes dauguma kompanijų, siekia išlaikyti ir didinti konkurencinį pranašumą. / To achieve continuous development and prosperity of an organization under market conditions any organization should work profitably. One of the main factors of the modern management is the specific organizational culture. As any organization is a group of people striving for the same aims, the success of its business depends directly on the skill and abilities of the working people to understand equally correctly what they are doing and aiming for. The ability to manage the work effectively influences the effectiveness of the organization, has a positive influence on the employees. The culture of the organization has been outlined and the importance of the culture of the organization for the results of common activities is discussed. The definitions of the culture of the organization are given. Significance of values for the members’ behaviour and work efficiency has been emphasised. Values are an understanding what is acceptable and unacceptable in society. They are accepted and supported by many people. Values may be either individual or collective. They are understood as an object of man’s requirements, desires and strivings, positive evaluations and attitudes. Individuals can choose whether to accept or reject one or another value. The culture of the organization is a system of material, spiritual and homogenous convictions acknowledged by all the employees; they influence behavior and are supported by the stories, myths, and heroes of the organization and reveal through...

The purpose of this diploma work is to describe the possibilities of senior education and specific needs of senior education. The population of Czech republic is ageing. In order to this it is necessary to define very important terms like age, ageing, age management. Demographic situation will need new solutions in learning, because people will have to work longer than it was in history. To be successful at labour market, older people will have to pass various courses and trainings. It is also necessary to prepare for age, because people are living longer, this period can last 30 or 40 years. Learning is a very good way to keep healthy and vital. Senior education has many variations - for ambitious people it can be University of third age, for less demanding students it can be for example Leisure time university. It was proofed, that senior education has positive influence on their health, they are not so often sick, have better mood. Seniors can thank to learning understand the current world and that is useful for them and for the society too. Key words: age, ageing, age management, senior, lifelong learning, specifics of senior education, ageing society, preparing for ageing

This thesis deals with diseased peripheral blood vessels, namely thrombosis of veins affecting limbs and the pelvic area and acute arterial blockages in extremities. In addition to data concerning these illnesses, the thesis also presents the treatment of these patients and treatment of those patients who are given anti-coagulants either preventatively or as part of treatment. The empirical portion includes quantitative research through an anonymous survey instrument. The respondents were nurses who worked in internal, surgery, or general units of intensive care in university and regional hospitals. The goal of the research was to determine whether nurses are aware of the general areas of non-coronary blood-vessel issues and of the idiosyncrasies of treatment of patients with warfarin and heparin, and whether the nurses were aware of the idiosyncrasies of treatment of patients with non-coronary arterial blockages. We discovered that nurses were most aware of the idiosyncrasies of treatment of patients with warfarin and heparin. On the other hand, the nurses had almost no awareness of the idiosyncrasies of treatment of patients with non-coronary arterial blockages. Exactly half of the respondents were aware of the general areas of non-coronary blood-vessel issues. The conclusion of the thesis...

Cultural Aspects of Cartographic Creation: Use of Mental Maps in Cross-cultural Research Abstract: Diploma thesis deals with study of interdisciplinary issue of cultural aspects of cartographic creation. The first part of the work consists of theoretical introduction dealing with the map con- tent, map stylistics and map language, in which maps show the greatest cultural differences. The map figures here in a role of the image of reality and visual manifestation of culture. The analogy between a map and a classical language (linguistic anthropology) and the analogy between early maps and primitive cultures' maps are described. Beside the language, as determinants of the human spatial perception and other categories related to the map creation could be mentioned the environment, the experiences and the society, in which man lives. Several examples of so- called cultural map styles, especially from Australia and Oceania, are introduced as well. In the methodical part of the work in connection with cultural-anthropological research a method of cognitive maps, respectively mental maps of map users and map makers is discussed in detail. Just these maps are suitable to explore the cultural particularities of cartographic creation. The application part of the work presents the results of field research of mental...

The aim of this thesis was to capture the readiness of elementary school teachers in regards to aerobics. I came to a conclusion in my research that aerobic is not included into physical education classes enough, as teachers are not well prepared, and therefore they do not include it in their plans. This fact is rather disturbing because I am positive that the aerobics exercise would enrich students in area of aesthetics and physical skills and coordination.

This thesis deals with the stress, strain and stress level of stress. It examines what more burdens on JIPu sisters and what the standard department, what are the specifics of their work. Compares the work load and nursing department and the standard JIPu. It looks at how the situation affects of stress nurses. It outlines the causes and manifestations of stress effects on the human organism. He is also the burnout that often occurs among workers in the helping professions. The thesis is focused on the shift operation (especially on night shift), relationships at work (sister-sister, sister-doctor), the aggressive behavior of patients, or the lack of sufficient time for patient care. Research method is a questionnaire distributed to the nurses and the internal standard surgical wards and ICU. The evaluation questions of the questionnaire confirms or overthrows the hypothesis that I set at the beginning of research. The hypotheses were confirmed hypotheses 2 and 5 of the hypothesis was not confirmed. It was confirmed that the exchange operation and overload nurses, patient aggression, care of confused patients and bad interpersonal relations a high burden on medical personnel and contributes significantly to the stress load of nurses. In conclusion, I mention that a large role in preventing and...

The goal of this thesis was to compare Czech and Spanish non-governmental non-profit organizations and analyze common and diverse characteristics using international comparison in several areas. As a representative of the Czech non-profit sector was chosen ADRA, o.s. Spanish nonprofit sector was represented by the organization Manos Unidas. Findings revealed differences in investigated areas. However, founded differences were not so significant to identify one of the non-governmental non-profit organizations as a significantly better one. Nevertheless the author recommended transferring some of the best practices of Manos Unidas to ADRA, o.s.

My diploma thesis deals with pupils who are struggling to hear and a cochlear implant may be their hearing aid.
