Cyberviolence towards LGBTQ+ people in Czech Republic
Kalousková, Natálie ; Hasmanová Marhánková, Jaroslava (advisor) ; Coufalová, Linda (referee)
This piece of work focuses on cyberviolence against LGBTQ+ adults in the Czech online space. Cyberviolence is overall a new phenomenon, at present mostly examined in relation to children and adolescents. In this work, the author offers insight into the ways queer people use the Internet, the negative events they encounter and the manner in which they manage these experiences. The work builds on the ideas of heteronormative social hegemony and looks for links between this social order and cyberviolence. Using the qualitative method of semi- structured interviews, research was conducted with eight LGBTQ+ participants. The results showed queer people faced grave acts such as threats or extortion as well as homophobic and transphobic microagression. The fact that cyberviolence against adults is often downplayed by the society, but also victims themselves, makes its management all the more complicated. Nevertheless, it is essential to dedicate more attention to this topic in the effort to eliminate heterosexism in society.

Impact of Covid-19 pandemic on sexual services in Czech Republic from the point of view of employees of NGOs Abstract This bachelor thesis is focused on the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on sexual services in the Czech Republic from the perspective of employees of non-profit organizations. The aim of this work is to determine the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on sexual services, to point out the changes caused by the pandemic in the field of sexual services and watch the reactions of non-profit organizations. This is a qualitative research in which five employees of non-profit organizations participated. I obtained the data for my work through online interviews, which took place from March to June 2021. This work shows the changes in the Covid-19 pandemic in the field of sexual services. Discusses topics such as violence, marginalization, and intersectionality in relation to sexual services. In my work, the Covid-19 pandemic is worsening the living conditions of sex workers and often forcing them to lower their boundaries. It also turned out that the reaction of non-profit organizations was quick, and their help was necessary.

Motivation of young people to enter into marriage
Chytrá, Valérie ; Hasmanová Marhánková, Jaroslava (advisor) ; Mazáková Šetinová, Markéta (referee)
In the last thirty years, significant changes in demographic behaviour took place in the Czech Republic. This thesis focuses on the current form of family behaviour, namely marriage, for young people who have married at a relatively younger age than is currently common. The nature of the marital relationship is viewed and critically reflected through the lens of individualization in the work of A. Giddens and U. Beck. In addition to marriage itself, the work deals with its position among other transitions of young adulthood, and thus the shape of the life course of young people. The research of this work was performed by a qualitative method and technique of semi-structured interviews. It is concluded that marriage has primarily a symbolic meaning, but its practical consequences are also important. The main meaning of marriage is the formal confirmation of the partners' commitment to each other. The marital commitment serves as a means of communication between the spouses themselves, as well as between them and their social environment. The specific age situation given by the relatively lower age of marriage is mainly reflected in the feeling of the existence of certain age and adulthood norms, which, however, are no longer binding, and if they do not match the value orientation or economic...

Foster care - negotiating between care and work and gender aspects of care
Studená, Adéla ; Hasmanová Marhánková, Jaroslava (advisor) ; Senft, Lukáš (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with foster care and its position on the boundary of care and work. The term care is understood as "care from love" in the family, which according to societal ideas should be provided regardless of the existence of financial rewards. The term work is used in the sense of paid employment. The boundary is examined on a general and gender level. The core of the bachelor thesis is qualitative research which is based on the analysis of semi-structured interviews with eight foster carers, namely with four long-term male foster carers and four long-term female foster carers in pairs. The thesis concludes that foster care reflects the established gender order, within which care is an activity that is inseparably linked to the identity of women. However, this identity is also professional in nature and penetrates the field of paid work. Nevertheless only women construct their professional identity in the context of foster care and the boundary of foster care between care and work is therefore gendered. In addition the thesis shows through the analysis of the perception of financial rewards by foster carers that "care from love" and the money provided for it are not in conflict, but on the contrary can provide a symbolic expression of the value of care itself. The perspective of...

Černá, Anna ; Numerato, Dino (advisor) ; Hasmanová Marhánková, Jaroslava (referee)
The diploma thesis focuses on impact of civic engagement on health care system. It studies to what level this participation helps health care system transformation and change of a relationship between patients and political and professional authorities. It's aim is to provide a critical sociological analysis and explain social processes accompanying patients' engagement by using examples. Patient organisations - an institutionalised form of civic society with a potential to evoke social change - get into scope here. The ambition of this thesis is to show the applicability of the reflexivity concept to the area of health care, to enrich this analytical framework by multilevel approach to the health care system and therefore add to the discourse around civic engagement phenomenon by a systemic and structured view of dynamic relationships between patient organisations and health care system. The findings of the author are based on an analysis of semi-structured interviews with patient organisations representatives and available documents. The author emphasises the ambivalent impact of civic engagement which on one side reinforces individual transformations of micro, meso, macro and meta levels of health care system and also acts as a catalyst of wider sociocultural changes. On the other hand, it is accompanied...

Consumption of animal-based products among ecologically active individuals
Kalčoková, Maša ; Balon, Jan (advisor) ; Hasmanová Marhánková, Jaroslava (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with the paradox that arises based on a conflict of actions and opinions on the consumption of animal products. The aim of the work was to reveal the social factors that cause this discrepancy, assuming that social factors play an important role. This assumption is based on the consideration of meat as a social construct rooted in culture, and thus the consumption of meat is examined in this paper not as an individual decision but as a result of the influences of different institutions and social structures. This paradox is being studied on ecologically active individuals, and it is assumed that in this case the discrepancy between opinions on animal products and actual behaviour will be even more pronounced. The conclusion of the work reveals as one of the most important factors family and traditions, which cause that individuals are afraid of exclusion from the social group of the family and at the same time they want to be true to traditions. Respondents often preferred to conform to members of the groups to which they belong or to culture and traditions. The work also deals with the guilt caused by this discrepancy, taking into account the impact of ecology as an external factor.

The role of family and close social relationships in the narratives of Israeli women who experienced stillbirt
Dargan, Keren ; Hasmanová Marhánková, Jaroslava (advisor) ; Tučková, Anna (referee)
This thesis examines the social context of stillbirth and its impact on women's life and on their relationships with their family members. The study sample includes 8 adult women from Israel. Israel is a country characterized by a high number of children in families and the centrality of religion in society. The methodology used in this study was semi-structured interviews. Our results were similar to those of previous studies in terms of the partner's attitude to the event. On the other hand, the results included novel findings regarding other family members' coping with the stillbirth event. Solidarity and other types of empathy were found to be relevant according to women's stories; whereas some filial norms were met with more ambivalent responses. This thesis demonstrates the importance of intergenerational solidarity, the mass influence of cultural context and ambivalence within everyday situations and the meaning of empathy from close family members. Particular attention needs to be paid to the intergenerational perspective, which focuses on the family (couple, divorced or single units) or the wider society in which they live. Moreover, the experience of particular social groups further exploration; for instance, single mothers and surrogates.

Vernerová, Karolína ; Hasmanová Marhánková, Jaroslava (advisor) ; Slepičková, Lenka (referee)
This diploma thesis focuses on the issue of postnatal care in maternity hospitals in the Czech Republic as it is perceived by women who went through the medicalised obstetric birth in the past year. It examines in particular women's expectations concerning the care on the postnatal ward, their experiences of various aspects of care provided, the moments women highlight and the strategies they adopt in case of possible clashes of their own "non-expert" opinions with the regime of particular maternity hospital or "authoritative knowledge" of the staff. The aim of this thesis is to present the authentic experiences of postnatal care and to implant them into broader conceptual framework, especially considering the medical discourse and possible disciplinary techniques which are implemented to strengthen the authority of medical staff and to provide the opportunity for physical and social control of women.
