The aim of the present thesis is to determine whether the Tea Party candidatesʼ attitudes towards selected controversial issues influenced their electoral success and the success of the Tea Party movement as a whole. The thesis consists of two parts, theoretical and empirical. In the theoretical part the author focuses on the historical perspective of the political and party system in the United States of America, bipartism and position of third parties in the system. It also includes a brief analysis of the Democratic and Republican parties. Next, the author examines the Tea Party phenomenon - its genesis, structure, purposes and ideals. The subsequent section deals with three controversial issues, i.e. abortion, LGBT rights, and race, which reflect an ideological cleavage among the american public. The empirical part presents a case study entitled The influence of controversial issues on the (non)success of the Tea Party candidates, which deals with attitudes of the House and Senate Tea Party candidates who won the 2010 congressional elections towards the above- mentioned controversial issues.

Purpose: Interpersonal communication is one of the most important abilities and skills in everyday life. But when patient's communication ability is limited due to endotracheal or tracheostomy tube insertion, the patient, who had communicated verbally, is not able to convey their feelings, needs and wishes anymore. The purpose of this thesis is to help improve communication skills of nurses in the area of communication with conscious, unconscious and analgosedated patients whose airways are intubated. Methods: The survey has form of quantitative research, the questionnaire method was used. Research data was obtained from a total of 144 nurses working at resuscitation departments at four hospitals in Prague. Results: By studying this issue, it has been found nurses have trouble communicating with intubated patients. The most difficult communication is with conscious patients, who are intubated by endotracheal tube. Communicating with patients with impaired consciousness is also very problematic. Conclusion: Despite the fact, that communication with intubated patients is inherently difficult, more than half of the respondents have never been educated about how to communicate with these patients.

This work maps currant situation of development assistance in Zimbabwe. It summarizes currant situation of this activity in this country and shows basic development problems: "Double-law" system, women empowerment, "Sugar mummies and sugar daddies" phenomena, religion syncretism, fear factor, "child- headed" families and a "vicious circle of poverty". This thesis states these basic development outcomes: Microfinancing, use of "physical economy" and political changes. It is divided in two main parts; theoretical and practical. In the theoretical-one it deals with geo-population discourse and historical-political discourse so that the outcomes can to be place into context of currant development problems. In practical- one it deals with research question and hypothesis, as well as own investigation at the place. It shows the general interest in development assistance in terms of education, not only in terms of money (which was anticipated). At the end there is a discussion chapter, based mostly on personal experience, which I gained during the residencies HTF UK in 2011 and 2012. The end deals with outcomes, which were done by investigation and mentioned discourses.

2011-uosius metus Europos Komisija paskelbė Savanorystės metais. Savanorystė jau tapo tarptautiniu reiškiniu, kurio nauda pastebima ne tik visuomenės ir nevyriausybinių organizacijų, bet ir paties žmogaus besiimančio šios veiklos asmenybės tobulėjimui. Europos savanorių centras išleido manifestą, kuriuo skelbiama apie savanorystės svarbą bei siūlomi konkretūs veiksmai, kuriais remiantis būtų ugdoma savanorišką veiklą šalyje gerbianti visuomenė. Taip pat šį rudenį Lietuvos Prezidentė nutarė steigti darbo grupę, kuri siūlys savanorystės problemų sprendimus. Tai yra aktuali šiomis dienomis nagrinėjama tema, kurios efektyvinimui didinti jau yra imamasi įvairiausių priemonių (pvz.:. dažniausiai žiniasklaidoje minimas rengiamas savanoriškos veiklos įstatymo projektas ar vykdomos įvairios savanorystę paremti programos). Tyrimo objektas – nevyriausybinių organizacijų savanorių pasitelkimo galimybių plėtra. Tyrimo tikslas - ištyrus savanoriško darbo paplitimo tendencijas Lietuvoje ir Belgijoje pateikti vadybos gerąją praktika grįstas organizacines priemones motyvuojančias Lietuvos gyventojus tapti savanoriais. Tyrimo uždaviniai: 1. Apžvelgti nevyriausybinių organizacijų veiklos aplinką, nustatyti teorines prielaidas pasitelkti savanorius NVO veikloje; 2. Nustatyti ir ištirti organizacijų požymių rinkinį, kuriam esant savanorystė gali būti plėtojama geriausiu būdu. Nustatyti, kaip nevyriausybinių organizacijų žinomumas ir aktyvumas daro įtaką savanorių pritraukimui. 3. Nustatyti...

Subject: Abused children in Czech republic - law aspects of abused children, phenomenon. In my master thesis I focused my mind on the CAN syndrome. The work has two parts: theory and research. In the theoretical part I describe the CAN syndrome, its possible impact on child's general development and last but not least what legislation offers for solving this problem. In the research part I used interviews with 200 people to find out public knowledge about his phenomenon, what is their attitude to this problem and what solutions they can think of. The results of the research are described and supplanted by graphs.

The work deals with evaluation of the incidence of individual types of urinary stones in dogs, and the effect of specialised clinical diets on the treatment of urolithiasis. The evaluted material consists of an aggregate of analytical results from extracted urinary stones from the Veterinary clinic Vltava, in the period from January 30, 2008 to September 12, 2011. The effect of administration of specialised clinical diets for urolithiasis was evaluated on the basis of case histories of sample patients with proven struvite urolithiasis and an occurence of calcium oxalates and urates. The analysed aggregate of laboratory results of tested urinary stones has shown that besides a high incidence of struvite, the frequency of occurence of calcium oxalates increases as well. In this analysis even up to an identical percentage with struvite occurence at 44,44 % (that is, 24) analysed concrements. A link has been established with overal greater proneness of males to the formation of urinary stones. In the patient group with analysed majority percentage of whewellite, only 12,5 % of the analysed aggregate were females. Considering the widely varied pedigrees of analysed patients, incidence of urolithiasis is expected with ever greater frequency even in dogs not predisposed by breed and crossbreeds. Specialised clinical diets are employed in the treatment and prevention of certain types of urinary stons with high success rate, which adjust the urine environment and thus reduce the risk of occurence of urinary stones. Given the possibility of recurrence of urinary stones, i tis necessary to perform regular urine testing, and eventual sonographic examinations of the bladder

The thesis addresses ethical aspects of upbringing and educating persons with autism spectrum disorders, focusing particularly on integrating them in a normal school. In the theoretical part the terms related to ASD issues are defined and specific behavior and expressions of children with autism and Asperger?s syndrome are described. This thesis is dedicated particularly to these individuals and to their integration to a normal school. Therefore this part of the thesis deals with the field of education and upbringing of these persons and it describes the educational principles, methods and strategies that are being used in this field. The thesis concentrates on ethical aspects of leading persons with autism spectrum disorder and therefore the theoretical part deals also with ethical aspects of education and upbringing and defines terms related to ethics. There are two case studies in the practical part of the thesis that show the problems and ethical dilemmas related to integrating pupils with ASD into a regular high school from the point of view of a teaching assistant. The thesis emphasizes the need for ethical education and ethical code in the education system that would guarantee that persons with ASD are led not only professionally, but also ethically.

The principal aim of this diploma thesis was to monitor radon volume activity from the ground at the buildings of selected high schools in the South Bohemian Region. The theoretical part of the diploma thesis was processed by secondary data analysis. With the help of professional literature, valid legislation and Internet texts, radon problems were analyzed. I dealt with the penetration of radon from the subsoil, water and construction material into the buildings. Furthermore, its biological effects on human health, radon program, subsidies and legislation regulating radon problems. The research was proceed through a qualitative search using secondary data analysis. The needful data for the research part of the diploma thesis I got from my own measurement of radon volume activity in five high schools in the South Bohemian Region, supplemented by the measurement of carbon dioxide. I measured the radon volume activity with the continual monitor Radim 5B and the carbon dioxide concentration with the Wöhler KM 410 for climate assessment. Measured result values were processed using special programs on the computer and the results were displayed in graphs. The measurements made it clear that in selected schools up to one have not a greater problem with radon. From the measured values of carbon dioxide concentrations is evident that in schools is not enough ventilation, and the insulation of the building and the replacement of the windows on behalf of Eurowindows plastic or wooden has an fundamental effect. Consequently, the concentration of radon is then higher than it could be. In view of these facts, it would be advisable to carry out a ventilation system in schools or create vents in the masonry to ensure that clean air is drawn into the building.
