Dívky

Dávky is the plural form of dávka, a Czech term for a measured quantity that is given or allocated at one time. The word is used across several domains, including medicine, nutrition, manufacturing, and social policy, and can refer to a single quantity or to a series of quantities within a process or program.

In medicine and pharmacology, dávka denotes the amount of a drug administered to a patient at one time. Dávky are tailored to individual factors such as age, weight, and health, and are described in guidelines as therapeutic doses or maximum doses. The dosing schedule, including the interval between administrations, is part of the overall dávkování (dosing).

In vaccination, a dávka refers to one shot of a vaccine, with schedules often comprising multiple dávky to achieve immunity.

In nutrition and public health, dávky are used to express recommended or acceptable intake levels, such as doporučené denní dávky (recommended daily allowances) of vitamins and minerals. These values help guide dietary planning and fortification policies.

In production and quality control, dávka can mean a batch or lot produced in a single run. The term is used to describe a defined quantity processed together and tested for consistency before release.

In social policy, dávky denote cash or in-kind benefits provided by the state or social security systems. Dávky may include pensions, unemployment benefits, child allowances, and other forms of financial assistance, subject to eligibility criteria and funding regulations.

Dávky thus function as a general concept of prescribed portions or allocations across diverse fields, emphasizing standardized quantities administered, dispensed, or paid out.
