Prevalence of mental disorders in the Czech population: age and sex differences Abstract Mental illnesses and addictions to alcohol and drugs are quite huge problem in current society, which are not much discussed and not even solved, even though in Czechia the number of people with mental health problems is increasing. In 2017 in Czechia was made the CZEMS survey, which participated 3306 respondents, who were older than 18 years. Based on these results, there is almost 20 % people diagnosed with mental illness in Czechia.

The analysis also focuses on exact selected illnesses and dependencies, which are depressions, agoraphobia, social phobia, marijuana addiction and tranquilizers dependency. The target of this bachelor thesis is to analyse and describe with the results of the CZEMS survey, how was prevalence of these mental illnesses and dependencies differenced...

Trends in Czech migration and development policy coherence
Seidlová, Aneta ; Stojanov, Robert (advisor) ; Novosák, Jiří (referee)
Migration and development are a globally recurring topic within media and political discourse. In Europe, the topic gained attention following the so called "refugee crisis", accompanied by rhetoric of solving the root causes of migration and increasing coherence of migration and development policy. Even though the refugee flows mainly avoided Czechia, the crisis had an impact on public and political discourse, including links to migration, development and the need for coherence in policy strategic documents. The diploma thesis analyses trends in Czech migration and development policy and their coherence in the aftermath of global financial and refugee crisis. This thesis aims to assess the progress toward coherence and identify the key areas and causes of incoherence. The concept of policy coherence for migration and development, and a model of policy coherence cycle are used as the main theoretical frameworks. To gain an insight into the process of policy formation, a distinction is made between political commitments and policies on paper, policy coordination and implementation in practice, and the potential impact of the political discourse on this process. This thesis presents attitudes and perceptions of key stakeholders in Czech migration and development policy, based on a series of 20...

Equality: age and gender (Czechia, Denmark, France, Poland)
Černá, Tereza ; Rychtaříková, Jitka (advisor) ; Kalibová, Květa (referee)
Equality: Age and gender Abstract Diploma thesis addresses age and gender inequalities in Czechia, Denmark, France and Poland, based on Special Eurobarometer 437 and Special Eurobarometer 465. It introduces basic terms connected with inequality in society as well as terms related to gender and age discrimination. The analytical part is focused on different perceptions of age and gender inequality by respondents from four selected countries. The questions are also analysed on base on the respondent's gender and their age group, either 25-34, or 55-64 years. The conclusion of the conducted survey data analysis is, that society in Czechia and Poland inclines towards gender-based prejudices and stereotypes more, than society in Denmark and France, which may be a consequence of stronger emphasis on gender equality in Western European countries. Age discrimination is more often noticed by Czech and French respondents, but it is clear, that respondents from all four countries perceive ageism as very serious and do not see adopted anti- discrimination measures as sufficient. Key words: discrimination, inequality, stereotypes, ageing, ageism, age discrimination, gender discrimination, Czechia, Denmark, France, Poland

The music education system in Bohemia and Switzerland
Peková, Zuzana ; ERICSSON, Mikael (advisor) ; STRAŠIL, Tomáš (referee)
In my diploma thesis The Music Education System in Bohemia and Switzerland, I try to delineate the general picture of the development of music education in these countries from its beginnings, for the time when it has gone through the greatest and most important changes, up to the present, where I describe the current state and structure of musical education. Undoubtedly, the main impulse which has driven me to choose this topic has been my recent stay in Switzerland. Thanks to the Swiss Mobility program, I was given the opportunity to study music at a university in Luzern, where I spent the entire academic year, so I had enough time to learn about the local school system. As a result of my personal experience, I decided to find and write information that could provide readers an opportunity to compare our familiar system of schooling in Bohemia with such a specific and unique system of education as the one they have in Switzerland. Musical education in Czech republic has a very strong tradition and still enjoys a great deal of popularity in the present day . In the part concerning the development of musical education in our country, I focused especially on the period of struggle for the introduction and the form of the subject of music in curricula, which has been led in the past century by professors of music and other important personalities of the then Czech music scene. In contrast, in the part dealing with education in Switzerland, my intention was to introduce the overall form of the education system of the country, despite the fact that its scheme often differs greatly within the cantons. Due to these numerous differences and also the limited scope of this work, I have focused on describing the most significant dissimilarities in teaching music in the main Swiss cantons. In making my decision to choose this topic I was captivated by the fact that there are only a small number of publications on Swiss education in our country and, if they exist, they include information only up to the 1980s. This has confirmed my belief that my work could be of real benefit to all potential students of music in Switzerland and to the Czech music public in general.

The Development of Spatial Differentiation of Unemployment in Czechia through the Lens of Evolutionary Geography
Vrbík, Filip ; Netrdová, Pavlína (advisor) ; Slach, Ondřej (referee)
The Development of Spatial Differentiation of Unemployment in Czechia through the Lens of Evolutionary Geography The diploma thesis aims to analyze the development of spatial differentiation of unemployment on the municipality level in Czechia between the years 2003 and 2016. The theoretical framework is based on the evolutionary approaches in geography which emphasize the role of heredity, continuity and the local specifics in economic and social regional development. The first, extensive part of the research analyses the development of spatial differentiation of unemployment using statistical and spatial methods and identifies two adjacent localities which underwent significantly different unemployment development, specifically the Karviná and Jablunkov regions. The second, intensive part of the research discusses and evaluates possible causes of these different dynamics of unemployment development. An analysis of historical development, information gathered through semi- structured interviews as well as data confirm that the different unemployment development is caused by different population structure, different local customs, and norms stemming from different historical development. The historical heritage also influences locating of new investors who provide new job opportunities. Key words:...

Urban foraging: a (non)traditional strategy of food privisioning in the city?
Růžičková, Lucie ; Spilková, Jana (advisor) ; Rypáčková, Pavla (referee)
A research of foraging represents a relatively new phenomenon abroad. In Czechia, on the other hand, this is an ordinary issue with a long-time tradition, but until recently it has not received much attention by the scientific community. For this reason the following diploma thesis deals with this activity. It consists of two main units. The first part aims to create the theoretical framework necessary for the introduction into the foraging study. There is a familiarization with the trend of the self-provisioning in general both in Czechia and abroad. A substantial part of the theoretical framework deals with the quantity and the typology of harvested products, the reasons for foraging, the characteristics of the harvesters, etc. It also outlines the problem of western academics' interpretation of foraging in post-communist conditions as a survival strategy. In the second part, using the mixed research methods, the thesis seeks to find out what is the tradition of foraging in Czech conditions during recent decades, who are the harvesters and what are the reasons and motivations to harvest. By statistical data analysis and by interviewing method, it is confirmed that people across a variety of demographic and socio-economic characteristics are harvesting and motivation is certainly not a bad...

Kostelecký, Petr ; Netrdová, Pavlína (advisor) ; Mikeszová, Martina (referee)
This thesis is focused on the analysis of the housing construction developmental tendencies in selected Czech cities and in their hinterlands. Housing construction is considered as the main indicator of the ongoing suburbanization process. The housing construction analysis covers the last twenty years (1997-2016), because in the mid-1990s suburbanization in Czechia has begun to intensify. The development of housing construction is at first analysed at the level of all municipalities of Czechia, using spatial data analysis. In the next sections of the thesis the development of housing construction and population changes are analysed in the defined functional regions of 120 selected cities. These cities are categorized into groups based on their population size and economic characteristics. The results show an increase of housing construction in the cities' hinterlands, which has been dampened due to the economic crisis. Differences in the development of housing construction between functional regions of cities with different population size and economic categories were successfully demonstrated. There are also other factors influencing housing construction and population changes in cities' functional regions. Especially, the geographical position appears to be of great significance, since the cities...
