Socio-geographic determinants of risky substance use among Czech adolescents
Kážmér, Ladislav ; Dzúrová, Dagmar (advisor) ; Kulhánová, Ivana (referee) ; Králíková, Eva (referee)
The thesis aims at the specific issues of health-related behaviour among the contemporary Czech youth, with particular emphasis on a socio-geographical dimension of the phenomena. In particular, it aims at identification of selected demographic, social, and contextual factors underlying the inequalities in risky substance use among the Czech adolescent population in its complex multilevel perspective. By applying the advanced methodology of multilevel modelling, the author reveals an integral nature of these factors in space and time, and thus contributes to a deeper knowledge on the structures and processes determining the selected forms of risk behaviours. In addition to an integrative multilevel approach, the author derives recommendations for an effective planning and implementation of preventive measures in agenda of the Czech drug policy as well. Key words: adolescence; substance use; prevalence; socio-geographic inequalities; multilevel analysis; Czechia

The Position of Women in Czech Science. 2016 Monitoring Report
Tenglerová, Hana ; Kážmér, Ladislav
Even in 2016, the proportion of women among researchers did not increase, on the contrary, the trend of slight but steady decline continues. The proportion of women among researchers reached 26.6%. In addition to data on researchers by field and sector of activity, on students and academics at universities, AND in decision-making positions, the report contains data mapping the position of women among researchers in the EU. The comparison clearly shows that the CZE is among the worst in all the monitored criteria.
