Aggressive Patient in Healthcare Facility – Experience of a Selected Sample of Nurses in the Czech Republic: Descriptive, Cross-Sectional Study
No full textAim: To identify and describe the experience of a selected sample of nurses with aggressive behaviour by patients and their family members. To describe what nurses rate as the most common causes of aggression and what strategies nurses most commonly use to manage it. To determine whether there is a statistically significant association between the incidence of aggressive behaviour and length of practice in the selected sample of nurses.
Methods: This study included a group of nurses from a selected healthcare facility, totalling 67 nurses. A self-constructed questionnaire was used. The data were processed in STATISTICA 12 software using descriptive statistics and Spearman\u27s correlation coefficient. This study complied with the EQUATOR (STROBE) checklist.
Results: More than 70% of the nurses in our study had experienced aggressive behaviour by a patient. Nurses are most often exposed to verbal aggression, especially swearing and insults. Less frequently, they encounter physical assault. Most often, it is the patients who are aggressive; patients’ families or visitors are rarely aggressive. To manage aggressive behaviour, nurses most often use calm, assertive communication. In the selected sample of nurses, there was no significant association between the incidence of aggressive behaviour and length of nursing experience.
Conclusions: Our results show that most of the nurses in the selected sample have negative experiences with aggressive behaviour. Knowledge of assertive communication can significantly contribute to minimising conflicts associated with aggressive behaviours in patients. The research conducted may serve as a basis for further research.Aim: To identify and describe the experience of a selected sample of nurses with aggressive behaviour by patients and their family members.

DETERMINATION OF PICTOGRAMS OF CARGO AIRSHIPS FOR USE IN LOGISTICS
No full textČlánek se věnuje stanovení piktogramů na základě rozdělení nákladních vzducholodí dle nosného plynu a možnosti nakládky a vykládky nákladu. Nosný plyn je dělen na základní dva plyny, které jsou helium a vodík. Dalším rozdělením je přeprava nákladu uvnitř či vně trupu vzducholodi. Které je následně rozděluje dle možností nakládky a vykládky. Závěrem jsou přiřazeny piktogramy k jednotlivým výrobcům dle jejich deklarace jakožto příklad přiřazení.The article discusses the categorisation of pictograms based on the type of carrier gas and the method of loading and unloading cargo in airships. The two primary carrier gases are helium and hydrogen. Cargo can be carried inside or outside the airship\u27s hull, with further subdivisions based on loading and unloading capabilities. Finally, pictograms are assigned to each manufacturer based on their declaration as an example assignmen

“Nature’s Work:” Carolus Clusius and His Ties to the Sidney Circle
No full textPhilip Sidney’s European sojourn (1572-1577) was undoubtedly a formative experience, one that shaped his political and literary development. Unsurprisingly, it has received much commentary. Nevertheless, one rather neglected sphere of influence on Sidney’s education that deserves fuller attention is the coterie of high-standing and learned figures based in Central Europe, many of whom Sidney either corresponded with or met in person. This essay will consider the role of Carolus Clusius (1526-1609), a distinguished French botanist employed at the imperial court in Vienna. The influence of Clusius in Sidney’s intellectual circle and Sidney’s correspondence network will be surveyed, as well as whether Sidney’s exposure to the work of Clusius and other botanists, physicians and emblematists would have inspired Sidney’s ideas

INFLUENCE OF WOOTZ STEEL MICROSTRUCTURE TO FORGING
No full textCast (real) damascus steel (so-called “wootz”) is an ancient tool/weapon material. Due to relatively high carbon amounts, the wootz is hard to forge (or other hot-forming shaping). In some cases, the forging of wootz is impossible. During forging, cracks are often created that lead to absolutely disintegration of bulk material. In this paper is given one relationship between wootz microstructure and the forging impossibility
Concubinage and Free Love
No full text
The paper deals with the concepts of “concubinage” and “free love”, especially in the second half of the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th century. It outlines the motivations of who resorted to this way of cohabitation and why and how society coped with this family model. Particular attention is paid to the anarcho-goddess who chose the concept of free love out of conviction
