Burnout syndrome in the teaching profession
Gregar, Jan ; Peřinová, Radka (advisor) ; Kotlík, Kamil (referee)
Title: The Burnout Syndrome of Teachers Profession Objectives: The objectives of the thesis were to describe the rate of burnout of teachers at elementary schools, high schools, and gymnasiums. The aim of this work was also to compare burnout rate of different groups of teachers which are linked sociodemographic and professional characteristics and to describe teachers' opinions of the burnout syndrome. Methods: We used a questionnaire survey in the practical part of the thesis. 653 respondents participated. The questionnaire survey consisted of the MBI questionnaire and items created by the author of the thesis. The Survio internet platform was used for distribution. The snowball sampling, nonprobability sampling and sampling across institutions were employed to select respondents. The Excel and Statistica software were used to analyse the data. Results: We found a high degree of emotional exhaustion in 34 % of teachers, a high degree of depersonalization in 12 % of teachers and a low degree of personal accomplishment in 26 % of teachers. Although burnout syndrome is a relatively well-known phenomenon in the school environment, it is not given enough attention in terms of prevention. Burnout does not only affect older teachers or teachers who are higher experienced, but it affects especially...

Criteria for assessment and teachers' preferences for kinds of final assessment in physical education at elementary schools
Gregar, Jan ; Peřinová, Radka (advisor) ; Kotlík, Kamil (referee)
Title: Criteria for assessment and teachers' preferences for kinds of final assessment in physical education at elementary schools Objectives: The objectives of the thesis were to gather and evaluate information about teachers' preferences for criteria in assessment of physical education as well as their preferences for kinds of assessment in the final evaluation of physical education. The aim of this work was also to compare preferences of different groups of teachers which are linked sociodemographic and professional characteristics. Methods: We used a questionnaire survey to gather the information in the practical part. 63 respondents participated. We utilized Google Forms to create the questionnaire and we shared it via email. The snowball sampling, nonprobability sampling and sampling across institutions were employed to select respondents and Excel software to analyse the data. Results: Based on the data analysis, we can say that teachers at elementary schools perceive the criteria of assessment very similarly, but for certain groups of teachers, greater or lesser differences can be observed. In general, teachers order the criteria of the final assessment on their importance in this sequence: 1. effort, 2. improvement, 3. performance, 4. theoretical knowledge. The preferences for kinds of...

The influence of unified and devided government in the first term of president Barack Obama
Gregar, Jan ; Buben, Radek (advisor) ; Kouba, Karel (referee)
The Influence of Unified and Divided Government in the First Term of the President Barack Obama Abstract: The phenomenon of divided government belongs to one of the most discussed topics in contemporary American political science. The American political system experiences its unprecedented increase since the half of the 20th century, which is connected with the raising interest in that field of interest. I draw on theory of David R. Mayhew, who as a first one systematically studied impact of divided government in comparison with the unified one. I apply his method of research to the first presidency of Barack Obama, who experience the period of both unified and divided government. Based on this data, I assume that divided government had significant influence of the second part of Obama first term in this special case. The reason is not only the type of government, but primarily the environment of Obama first presidency (high political polarisation or economic crises).

The influence of unified and devided government in the first term of president Barack Obama
Gregar, Jan ; Buben, Radek (advisor) ; Císař, Ondřej (referee)
The phenomenon of divided government belongs to one of the most discussed topics in contemporary American political science. The American political system experiences its unprecedented increase since the half of the 20th century, which is connected with the obvious interest in such an issue. Many authors reflect it as negative a priori, unless they would study the circumstances of its existence, influence on the system or differences between divided and unified conditions. David R. Mayhew as a first one systematically studied impact of divided government in comparison with the unified one. His theory and especially his conclusions, which claim the absence of fundamental difference in enacting important legislation between the conditions of divided and unified government, are theoretical basis for this work. This paper aims to evaluate first term of President Barack Obama from the perspective of Mayhew's theory, and try to validate his theses from the beginning of 1990s. Key Words: American Political System, Divided Government, Unified Governmnet, David R. Mayhew, American Presidency, Congress of the United States of America.

Kinetic energy of rainfall
Pála, Jan ; Petrů, Jan (advisor) ; Gregar, Jan (referee)
Water erosion is caused by the momentum of falling raindrops and is transferred into the soil surface causing soil loss throughout the world. Rainfall kinetic energy is an important component of determining erosivity of rain with subsequent determination of the average soil loss on land and is derived from the precipitation characteristics of rain. Organised overview of the precipitation characteristics and deriving of the kinetic energy from these characteristics along with deriving methods of the kinetic energy via the rainfall intensity is done in the first part of this work in the form of literature research.
The second part of this work is focused on the comparison of the selected existing relationships for deriving kinetic energy from rainfall intensity. Kinetic energy can be expressed by form of volume specific - KEmm or time specific form - KEtime, where the model values of rainfall intensity were put into the selected formulas. Chosen KE-I relationships were compared on the basis of climate categorisation and altitude of the locations where the equations originated. Discussion and conclusion of this work assesses suitability or inapplicability of the selected equations for climate of the Czech republic.

Study of revitalisation of the part of Karlický creek
Svobodová, Gabriela ; Gregar, Jan (advisor)
This thesis deals with a revitalization action suggestion in the chosen part of Karlický creek in the district of Dobřichovice. The points of the thesis are to collect information material, to explore studied area, to evaluate current situation of creek and to suggest of revitalization actions, to return natural character of creek. In the studied area was made terrain survey, on which are based the suggestions of revitalization measures with appropriate accompanying vegetation. Hereafter this thesis deals with successfully realized revitalization measures of water flows in the Czech Republic. The results were processed in the form of evaluated situation of the creek and suggested revitalization measures.

Methods of Measuring Rainfall Characteristics
Holubová, Nikola ; Petrů, Jan (advisor) ; Gregar, Jan (referee)
Atmospheric precipitation is the most important meteorological phenomenon on the Earth. Therefore, more and more studies about its structure and properties have been created. Many researches describing characteristics and measurements of the precipitation have been created for more than one century. The first manual techniques, such as the method using a filter paper, which were used by the end of the 19. century, were very inaccurate. Demands on more modern techniques of measurement were rising during the 20th century. Many fully automatic devices for measuring of the precipitations characteristics were developed. Advances in technology have also had a lot of shortcomings. Some of them have been resolved, but some still exist.
The first part of this research work is focused on the precipitation and its importance, origin and extremes. The second part of the work deals with the precipitation characteristics, offering a comprehensive overview about the sizes of drops, their shape or the speed of the fall. The methods of measurement and their advantages and disadvantages are described in the third part.
