Ministerstvo průmyslu a obchodu vyhlásilo dne 31. 5. 2016 výzvu k předkládání žádostí o podporu v programu Inovační vouchery. Cílem je sdílení poznatků a know-how mezi podnikovou a výzkumnou sférou, které mohou podnikatelské subjekty využít pro zahájení či zintenzivnění vlastních inovačních aktivit.

V úterý 21.6.2016 bude na Zemědělské fakultě Jihočeské univerzity v Českých Budějovicích slavnostně otevřena nová budova pro praktickou výuku studentů.

Studenti Jihočeské univerzity měli v právě končícím letním semestru letošního akademického roku poprvé možnost přihlásit se na zcela nový předmět Ochrana duševního vlastnictví. Nový předmět byl nabízen jako volitelný a rozšířil nabídku Zemědělské fakulty, k tomuto rozšíření došlo zejména z iniciativy vedoucí Kanceláře transferu technologií, dr. Štemberkové, a děkana této fakulty, prof. Šocha.
Předmět byl určen pro začátečníky v tomto oboru a poskytl studentům přehled o právních platných úpravách v celé paletě duševního vlastnictví především pak v oblasti autorského práva a právní ochrany průmyslového vlastnictví, zejména vynálezů, užitných vzorů, průmyslových vzorů a ochranných známek u nás i ve světě. Důraz byl dále kladen na pochopení tzv. třetí role univerzit – spolupráci s průmyslem a aplikační sférou reprezentovanou aktivitami označovanými jako ´transfer technologií a znalostí´, neboli přenos výsledků výzkumu a vývoje do praxe.
„Mluvila jsem o tom se studenty. Je to pro ně nové a lákavé téma. Nabídku nového předmětu přivítali a zcela určitě jim rozšířila povědomí o důležité oblasti, “ konstatovala dr. Štemberková, která výuku zajišťuje.
První možnost absolvování nového předmětu využilo 13 studentů oboru Agropodnikání, všichni jej úspěšně zakončili zkouškou s celkovým průměrem 1,8.

Počátkem července proběhne v týmu Kanceláře transferu technologií (KTT) změna na pozici technologického skauta Zdravotně sociální fakulty. Novým členem týmu se stane RNDr. Karel Roháček, CSc., který nahradí RNDr. Slavomíra Rakouského, CSc., jenž v létě odchází do důchodu.
Dr. Roháček je zkušeným odborníkem nejen v oblasti ochrany duševního vlastnictví a transferu technologií. Působil po několik měsíců v Kanceláři transferu technologií Biologického Centra AV ČR, v.v.i (BC AV)., mimo jiné zde absolvoval vzdělávací kurzy „Technology Transfer Manager“, od stupně ‚Junior‘po stupeň ‚Expert‘. V průběhu svého působení v BC AV pracoval v oblasti biofyziky fotosyntézy a pro svůj výzkum vyvinul se spolupracovníky novou metodu, založenou na principu interference koherentního záření HeNe laseru. Funkční prototyp interferometrické aparatury, jakož i vyvinutá metoda, se staly předmětem českého (CZ 301826) a následně i amerického (US 8520215) patentu.
Od r. 2015 působí na Zdravotně sociální fakultě jako odborný asistent Ústavu laboratorní diagnostiky a veřejného zdraví.

Přejeme dr. Roháčkovi v nové funkci mnoho zdaru, zejména úspěšné navázání na dlouholetou spolupráci jeho fakulty s aplikační sférou a její další rozvoj.

Zároveň děkujeme dr. Rakouskému za práci v týmu KTT a přejeme mu pevné zdraví a mnoho tělesných i duševních sil v jeho další životní etapě.

Department of Laboratory Methods and Information Systems 

Who are we?

Our department mainly educates professionals for practice in health care. Therefore, our scientific and research activity is focused on practical applications. We can offer the experience of our staff in the field of laboratory diagnostic methods, including molecular diagnostics based on DNA and cooperation in the field of genetically modified organisms and computer modeling.

Research focus:

-         molecular diagnostic methods using the properties of molecules and interactions between molecules for molecular recognition and recognition of biological structures; specific applications are focused on the screening method using DNA hybridization, DNA chips for viral diagnostics

-         research of genetically modified organisms

-         study of molecular systems using methods of molecular modeling and simulation of processes

-         practical topics directly related to laboratory practice and information systems

Points of interest - molecular diagnostics

Molecular diagnostics, based on the mutual recognition of molecules, is an integral part of many practical applications in medicine, the pharmaceutical industry, toxicology, the natural environment, the food industry, agricultural production, etc. In a pilot research project, the department developed detection methods specifically aimed at the detection of plant pathogens - bacteria and viruses that provide prerequisites for further applications requiring rapid diagnosis, particularly where it is required to test samples for a larger (virtually unlimited) number of different microorganisms simultaneously. The Department is in contact with leading European institutions that are participating in the development of DNA chips in the COST program and in cooperation which was formed during carrying out the bilateral project of the Grant Agency of the Czech Republic and the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft focused on the modeling of DNA chips. The Department provides consultation on the use of modern molecular diagnostic methods in practice and if necessary it also assists in the development and application of methods in different conditions.

COOPERATION WITH PRACTISE

Laboratory diagnostic methods for the purpose of medical diagnostics

The department guarantees the medical specialization – Medical laboratory assistant, which is focused on the education of laboratory staff for practice in hospitals and other medical facilities. We dispose of leading experts for teaching this discipline. Within theses, appropriately assigned tasks aimed at the verification or comparison of laboratory methods for particular files, preferably with an application in health service, can be addressed.

Computer molecular modeling

Computer molecular modeling enables the performance of complex experiments to verify and predict the behavior of molecules and molecular systems in silico, meaning via computer simulation. This approach saves time and costs in the development of new materials, pharmaceuticals and all systems that use the properties of molecules, such as molecular sensors or anticancer drugs.

The Department of Laboratory Methods and Information Systems has extensive experience in the molecular modeling of the interactions of biological molecules, especially nucleic acids, which it can provide during consultations or for the analysis of specific systems using methods of molecular modeling and other methods of modeling and the simulation of functions.

Faculty of Health and Social Studies

Who are we?

The Faculty of Health and Social Studies of the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice commenced its operations in 1990 as part of the Faculty of Education. As a classical humanities-oriented university it deals with health and social issues. It was already operating at the height of the educational process during its first term, so starting from the beginning of the next academic year, i.e. 1991/1992, it became an independent faculty of the University of South Bohemia.

The USB Faculty of Health and Social Studies was legally established on 8 November 1991 by the USB Academic Senate. It has long been focused on the development of education, the promotion of knowledge and creative scientific work in the health and social field and in related interdisciplinary and border areas.

Note: In addition to the introductory paragraph a new video about FHSS shall be inserted

What do we do and for whom?

EDUCATION

The faculty provides students with a university education in bachelor's, master's and doctoral degree programs. The fields are aimed at prevention, rehabilitation and a holistic approach for all age groups, with the ultimate aim to maintain and improve their quality of life. The faculty is dedicated to the teaching of university-educated professionals in several study programs: nursing, midwifery, specialization in health care, rehabilitation, public health, social policy and social work, special education, biophysics, population protection and a program in English - nursing.

Within the framework of lifelong learning, the faculty offers study focused on the professional competence to practice the given profession, the programs are designed to enhance professional expertise in accordance with applicable legislation.

Within the framework of the University of the Third Age, the faculty offers several study courses.

SCIENCE AND RESEARCH

In the field of nursing, research leading to the improved quality of care of patients and nursing care - particularly multicultural nursing, clearly dominates. In the area of social rehabilitation, the scientific and research work of the faculty is focused mainly on improving the living conditions of the handicapped and the problems of the young generation, where constant attention is paid to accidents, violence and children's rights. Research is focused primarily on the situation in the Czech Republic. The areas of the quality of life, especially for the 50+ generation, social policy and the study of the human rights of minorities living in the Czech Republic are also given attention. In the field of population protection, research activity is focused on the study of the influence of permanently present NOx in the environment that is a result of both natural processes and human activities as well as the interaction of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. Furthermore, in the field of laboratory methods, scientific work is focused on molecular diagnostic methods, detection methods using DNA hybridization, DNA chips for diagnosing viruses and the research of genetically modified organisms.

The USB Faculty of Health and Social Studies is now in the Czech Republic considered an important institution for the preparation of specialists, particularly in the area of nursing and other health and social programs, which is also reflected in the representation of its members on the scientific and academic boards of like-minded faculties of other universities. The permanent goal of all research groups is to participate in the management of projects under the 7th Framework Program of the European Union. The USB Faculty of Health and Social Studies, or the Department of Radiology, Toxicology and Population Protection, is currently involved in solving an international project under the Euratom 7RP EU program.

Why do we exist?

EDUCATION

The faculty offers full-time and combined studies. As a classic humanities-oriented university it is collectively engaged in the composition of health and social issues.
