Kaňková, Zuzana ; Nekovářová, Tereza (advisor) ; Blahna, Karel (referee)
The quality of sleep is one of the main factors for the homeostasis of the body, the functioning of the brain and therefore the psychological functions of the individual. Sleep undergoes various changes during life. Significant sleep changes can be observed in adolescents. During this developmental period, there is a shift in circadian preferences towards a later chronotype, which is often in conflict with the demands of functioning in everyday life (for example waking up to school). Because of that this group is highly vulnerable to chronic sleep restriction and associated sleep deprivation, which can lead to many pathologies. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of partial sleep deprivation on cognitive function and emotional regulation in adolescents. The study involved 59 adolescents aged 14 to 21 years, 30 of them were exposed to partial sleep deprivation (4 hours/night) and 29 of them slept normally (8 ± 1 hours/night). The day after instructed sleep/sleep deprivation, participants completed an experimental battery of cognitive tests. The study found that adolescents after one night of partial sleep deprivation showed greater levels of subjective sleepiness than their peers after a night of normal sleep. This effect of sleep deprivation was stronger in girls than in boys. Also...

Adolescent views of ethnic bullying by peer exclusion
Jarolímek, Matouš ; Kollerová, Lenka (advisor) ; Lukavská, Kateřina (referee)
This bachelor's thesis examines adolescents' attitudes towards ethnic bullying by peer exclusion. Bullying is still widespread in Czech schools, and the increasing diversity of school classrooms can sometimes bring with it an increasing incidence of bullying among children with different ethnic backgrounds. For these reasons, it is necessary to know the attitudes towards bullying based on the ethnicity of those most affected, i.e. adolescents. In the theoretical part, the main concepts are defined and then placed in the context of the topic of the bachelor thesis. The following practical part aims to use quantitative methods to describe the attitudes of adolescents towards bullying by peer exclusion, which include the willingness to stand up for the bullied, the evaluation of bullying by peer exclusion or its perceived effects, and to verify whether the role of these attitudes is played by the fact that the bullying is directed by a Czech student against a classmate of the same, Czech ethnicity, or against a classmate of a minority, specifically Ukrainian, ethnicity. The assumption that adolescents rate bullying of minority ethnicity by peer exclusion as more acceptable than bullying of majority ethnicity by peer exclusion was tested. As further objectives, it was tested whether the gender of the...

The thesis is divided into a theoretical and research part. In the theoretical section, we first focus on the definition, classification, and description of movement abilities. Then, the history and composition of the UNIFITTEST 6-60 test profile are presented.
