Vodáková, Zuzana ; Matoušek, Oldřich (advisor) ; Havránková, Olga (referee)
(in English): The main objective of this thesis is to map out the options of the contact and communication, of a child placed in foster care with their biological mother, to determine risks as well as advantages and opportunities, which both a child and a foster family would gain out of maintaining a contact with the child's biological mother. The goal is to find out whether potential risks associated with such a contact are possible to be addressed by our social system. For this purpose, I discussed this subject with social workers of agencies for the social and legal protection of children, social workers of other associated organisations and foster families. The theoretical part is the basis for the following practical part. Current state discusses foster family care, legal treatment of a child's contact with their biological mother while being placed in a foster family, forms of a possible contact with a biological mother, as well as problematics of attachment behaviour associated with the contact, and importance of the influence of both blood related and foster family in terms of development of a child's personality and experiences.

Psychosocial support for the family of the mentally ill
Šůstková, Jana ; Pěč, Ondřej (advisor) ; Matoušek, Oldřich (referee)
In my bachelor's thesis, I worked under the assumption that the family is an essential factor in the healing process, so it is good to involve the family in this process. At the same time, the family may be in crisis due to the mental illness of their member. Because the spectrum of mental illnesses is wide, I decided to focus on schizophrenia to make it easier to understand the problem. Schizophrenia is one of the most common serious mental illnesses, and it is clearly diagnosable. In the theoretical part of my work, I will focus on the family as a system, its functions, and how schizophrenia can disrupt this system. I will describe the mental care system and available forms of support to the family. In the practical part, I will interview social workers in community teams and centres for the mentally ill. From the interviews, I will evaluate how they support the family and whether they consider it important not only to involve the family in work with the client but also to support it in its needs and difficult situations caused by the mental illness of its member. Key words: Schizophrenia, family, family system, family support, mental health system, deinstitutionalization, destigmatisation.

Endurance skills and their testing in the military environment: a systematic review
Matoušek, Ondřej ; Maleček, Jan (advisor) ; Vágner, Michal (referee)
Title: Endurance skills and their testing in a military: a systematic review Aim: This thesis aims to create an overview of the frequency of tests used to test long-term, total and dynamic endurance in military personnel based on a systematic search of scientific publications. Methods: A systematic search method was used to create this bachelor thesis, based on a referred selection of items according to PRISMA recommendations. After defining the research question and objectives of the thesis, a search script was constructed through predefined keywords in the bibliographic and citation databases Web of Science, Scopus and PubMed. Studies that met the predefined criteria were used for data processing and subsequent synthesis. Lastly, studies underwent a methodological quality assessment. Results: The most commonly used test evaluated was the 3.2 km run, which included 44 of the 131 studies included in this systematic review. This is primarily due to the numerous representation of studies from the USA and their Army APFT test. The next most frequently used test evaluated was loaded marching, which may have a more significant transfer to the military context. The most common distance was also 3.2 km, found in 19 of 131 sources, with a relatively diverse range of loads (15 - 44.7 kg), with the most...
