Tomáš Zdechovský, Jitka Fialová

JNSS 2024, 15(1-2):66-82 | DOI: 10.32725/jnss.2024.006  

In the E. M. case, two sons were removed from a Czech family in Norway in 2011 due to suspicion of sexual abuse by the father. This abuse was not proven, but the sons were not returned to the mother, against whom accusations appeared in the form of alleged neglect and later media coverage of the case against the children's interests. The boys were separated into two different foster families, and the mother's visiting rights were gradually reduced from two hours twice a week to 15 supervised minutes twice a year - and only with the younger son. In 2017, the mother also lost her parental rights. The case ended up at the European Court of Human Rights...

Introduction: Vitamin D has several functions in the body. It affects calcium metabolism and various physiological functions, such as immunity, CNS, pregnancy, the cardiovascular system, etc. Its intake is mainly mediated by synthesis in the skin from 7-dehydrocholesterol thanks to UV radiation - specifically UVB with a wavelength of 290-320 nm. Another source of this vitamin is food. This article deals with vitamin D intake from food. Goal: This paper aims to map the connection between the amount of vitamin D from an adult diet and its level in the blood. Methods: To determine the level of vitamin D in the blood, we used the daily records of individual...

Team neurorehabilitation care after a cerebrovascular accident (CVA/stroke) in acute and inpatient facilities is at a very high level. However, models suitable for subsequent rehabilitation in home environments are less known. A review of the literature published between 2013-2023 was conducted using the PRISMA methodology. The search for relevant articles used three electronic databases, i.e., Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed. Twenty-three articles were initially selected for review. This study summarizes the physiotherapeutic methods and approaches available to stroke patients undergoing rehabilitation in the home environment. The study also characterizes...
