Modern information technologies has entered all spheres of human activities, public administration authorities are not exceptions. There has been significantly increasing tendency in using information and communication technologies since beginning of the century in public administration. Despite of some indicators, progress of public administration information systems is too slow. Several organizations are engaged of eGovernment assessment at the international level. We can find some variations in the methodologies that cause different ranking of some countries in international comparison. The main goal of this paper is to analyze and assess the present state of Czech Republic eGovernment with using both external indicators and internal indicators. eGovernment index, developed by United Nations, will be the main external indicator of eGovernment quality of the Czech Republic. It includes both potential for eGovernment development and its implementation, and it's the most complete international ranking at present. It is defined as average of the telecommunication infrastructure index, the human capital index and the web measure index. It represents overall country ability to engage and implement eGovernment. Internal ranking of the Czech Republic eGovernment will be based upon eGovernment level coefficient, that is defined as multi-dimensional model based on technology and communication facility index, Internet using index, using of public administration services by persons and companies, poviding obligatory information, existence of electronic registry on web pages, web pages accessability and language mutations. Selected statistic data are related to information society and using information technologies in public administration and were published on Czech Statistical Office or evaluated on the bases of previous years' development.

Article includes results of work studies that were done by autoscreening method in the regional hospital in the South Moravian Region by 30 head nurses and 26 department nurses. There were gained and analyzed 544 autoscreenings working day shots in total. There was found that department nurses in this hospital in average mostly perform managerial and personal activities. From the scope of structure of managerial activities the highest proportions have the organizational activities of department in the case of department nurses. On the other hand deparment nurses plan and perform personal activities with the smallest frequency. Head nurses perform qualified nursing activities in most cases, even though as managers on the middle level of management this should not be their main activity. Both head nurses and department nurses deal with administrative issues in average more than 100 minutes per day.

The paper deals with the measuring of the density profile of unevenly pressed wood of European aspen (Populus tremula L.). The main aim of the work is to examine in an experimental way the possibilities of using the X - RAY DENSE - LAB laboratory equipment designed for the determination of density profiles of agglomerated and plied large-area materials. The work uses the X - RAY DENSE - LAB equipment to determine the density profile of the cross-section of unevenly pressed aspen wood, plasticized hydrothermically, without the presence of chemical substances. The work also presents calculations of the level of compression/densification in dependence on the density and it describes the factors that can influence the density profile of compressed/densified wood; at the same time, it presents the possible ways to determine the density profile in the cross-section. Further, it includes the creation of the methodology for sample preparation so that the results do not get distorted during measuring. It describes the preparation of sample pieces, the orientation of the anatomic structure, the methodology of pressing, air conditioning, sample preparation, their measuring and analysis. The paper also describes the theory and the principles of measuring with use of X - RAY DENSE - LAB and its calibration. The paper analyses the obtained results of density profiles and searches for and describes the causes of the uneven distribution of the density in the cross-section. It concludes by summarizing the results and recommending the procedure for future measuring.
