Osteoporosis is a multifactorial system illness of the bones that occurs very frequently (like tumours and cardiovascular illnesses). It is also an illness that is partly preventable. The goal of this article was to find out whether the total energy intake and the intake of macronutrients and micronutrients are sufficient for the respondents. There were 60 patients with decreased bone density who suffered from osteopenia or osteoporosis. The respondents' average age was 71.9 years and the average Body Mass Index (BMI) was 26.4 kg/m2. We used questionnaires and forms to record the patients' daily intake. We found that energetic nutrition...

There have been many significant changes in the system of care of vulnerable children over the past five years. The cause of this was mainly the amendment to the Act on the Social and Legal Protection of Children and the Civil Code, which led to a radical change; not only in the rights of the child but also in the rights of the family. It is a constantly evolving process resulting from their individual needs. A number of new health and social support services are therefore being created.A much discussed issue is the placement of children in institutional facilities. Above all, we see a key problem in the lack of knowledge of the different types...

JNSS 2019, 10(1-2):51-55 | DOI: 10.32725/jnss.2019.006
Prenatal life is the time of the physical, mental and social development of a human being. It is a kind of "base" that supports all further post-natal development. Increasingly, attention is being drawn to the fact that the success of the adoption depends on providing the new guardians with accurate information about the child's past and his family, the impact of his previous experience on the current functioning, and their predicted long-term effects. Although it is not correct to say that adopted children are different compared to other children, those who meet them in their work and people who are orphans themselves say they are different. Adopted...
Retention of outdated theories about violence in intimate relationships in practice
Daša Malíková
JNSS 2019, 10(1-2):56-66 | DOI: 10.32725/jnss.2019.007
Women experiencing violence in intimate relationships, when seeking to solve the problem of violence in the framework of the help and support system, are faced with the stereotypical image of a "real" battered woman or an "ideal victim". Only a woman who is passive, helpless, does not defend herself or her children, does not argue, physically fight back, who speaks to no one about the violence and who does not leave a violent partner conforms to this image. No woman experiencing violence and abuse can permanently "fit" the concept of an ideal and real victim. In the case that women do not conform to this "ideal" and the concept created by society,...

The article discusses the factors of quality of life of metamphetamine users. The abuse of metamphetamine often destroys human dignity in many ways, as it devastates the self-respect and acceptance of the person in question and of the person's social networks.

The data were acquired through secondary analysis of data extracted from professional databased journals without any specific time interval. The following source databases were used:...
