How communistic propaganda influenced Czechoslovakian radio's programs for kids between 1968 and 1974
Kaňka, Josef ; Groman, Martin (advisor) ; Bednařík, Petr (referee)
Since the beginning of its more than a hundred-year history, Czech and Czechoslovak Radio has offered a number of programmes for child listeners. Whether it was fairy tales, educational and journalistic programmes or special formats not found in programmes for adults. Children themselves could often participate in the creation of the content. In the politically turbulent 20th century, during which radio experienced the beginnings of democracy, the Nazi occupation, the long socialist era under the control of the Soviet Union and the return to freedom, media content also changed depending on the social situation. From dramaturgy, to form, to content as a key factor. This is especially noticeable in the case of the totalitarian regimes. By excluding or, on the contrary, frequently repeating certain topics and treating them in a critical or servile manner, the representatives of the ruling establishment were able to control the dominant discourse and, with it, influence public opinion and suppress the critical voices. In addition to news and journalism, drama could also be used for this purpose. Using various media outlets, a fictional reality that may have little in common with the real situation can be created very effectively. The aim of this thesis is to search for, analyse and compare these...

Jelínek, Erik ; Petružela, Jan (advisor) ; Vampola, Jindřich (referee)
Title: The impact of strength training on throwing speed in handball players aged 11-13 years. Objectives: The aim of this thesis is to assess the impact of strength training on goal shooting in handball players. Methods: This is an experimental study that utilizes methods of measurement, intervention, and comparison between two groups - control and experimental. The speed of shots at the goal was measured using radar equipment, and the height of vertical jumps using the Optojump device. In total, two measurements were taken. The first measurement of both groups was conducted before the intervention, which was undertaken only by the experimental group. The second measurement of both groups took place after the completion of the intervention, which lasted once a week for 8 weeks. The resulting data were finally processed and evaluated using the T-test and effect size. Results: The experimental group showed significant improvement in shooting speed on goal, the control group did not exhibit any significant changes. Keywords: Handball, strength training, resistence training, isometric strength training, bodyweight strength training, throwing velocity, youth, children, fundamental movement patterns.

Weaknesses in state support for families caring for a disabled child
Janků, Vojtěch ; Angelovská, Olga (advisor) ; Tomášková, Vladimíra (referee)
The topic of the bachelor thesis is Weaknesses of state support for families caring for a child with disabilities. In the first part of the thesis the current state of the system of support for these families is mapped. Specifically, what benefits are provided and what social services are supposed to help them with their care. Then the main theoretical basis is explained, which is the theory of familialism. The research methodology was conducted in a qualitative manner. The respondents, who were representatives from among parents who care for a child with disabilities, were selected using the snowball sampling method and there were 7 respondents in total. The final respondent was also an actor in the issue, specifically a member of parliament who sits on the social policy committee. Using in-depth interviews with eight different respondents, the different aspects of support to families, their advantages, but mainly their shortcomings are examined. This was first in the area of financial support and then in the area of social services. In the subsequent discussion, the whole issue is then discussed in the context of the theoretical framework of the thesis, i.e. the theory of familiarisation. The main findings of the thesis are in particular the information that for a large part of parents the amount...

Sharenting from the perspective of parents and children aged 10-13
Zavadilová, Tereza ; Háša, Marek (advisor) ; Vochocová, Lenka (referee)
The thesis deals with the topic of sharenting through the perspective of parents and their children aged 10-13. Through the examined phenomenon, space is given to parents and children to express their own position. The research reflects the existing theoretical knowledge that defines the issue of sharenting. Using in-depth qualitative interviews, research with a parent-child dyad is elaborated. Data were analysed using a combination of thematic and conversation analysis. The main findings in this thesis show that children show trust towards their parents, but their attitude varies considerably according to the specific content and towards the subjects through whom the sharing of their own person is performed. According to children, disclosure of their information should only take place with their consent. For parents, sharenting is a new discipline about which not much information is available. Through the research it was found that there is no regular communication between parents and children on the topic being discussed. From participants' statements and the subsequent main findings of the research, it is confirmed that the issue of sharenting should be more widely known to the public. The results of this research can serve as a basis for conducting further research on sharenting.

This diploma thesis explores the media habits of children aged 6-8, a developmental stage corresponding to early school age according to psychological understanding. Through the ethnographic method of guided tour, in which participants lead the researcher through their home, it is possible to examine these media habits within their natural environment. As indicated by its title, this thesis is primarily dedicated to researching media habits among children of this age group. The secondary research questions are focused on independent media engagement and contrasting daily media usage with periods of increased leisure time, such as holidays or weekends. Additionally, it examines which type of media children use and whether they use them to communicate with their peers. Finally, it explores the organization of personal space in relation to the individual media. The detailed results of this analysis uncover the content consumed on participants' devices, technical and skill-related challenges associated with media, descriptions of individual families' media usage approaches, levels of independence in media consumption, the integration of media into daily children's or family routines, and the difference in these routines compared to periods of increased leisure time. It was observed that there exists a...

Hodačová, Alžběta ; Vařeková, Jitka (advisor) ; Majorová, Simona (referee)
Title: Sensorimotor difficulties in children with speech impairments Objectives: The main aim of the thesis is to assess sensorimotor functions of children with speech disorders using standardized test batteries. Methods: 27 children were part of the study (21 boys, 6 girls), all with speech disorders from an elementary school in the age range 11-15 (12,4 years±1,05). Motor skills were tested with data collection testing batteries MABC-2, Unifittest 6-60. Furthermore, sensory functions were tested using the Nottingham Sensory Assessment. Probands were also provided with a supplementary questionnaire to gather additional information. In the next step a data matrix was created in Microsoft Excel where all data were input. Data analysis was conducted using programs Microsoft Excel and Jamovi. Results: Children with speech disorders showed higher prevalence of motor difficulties compared to Czech norms. According to the overall STS score in MABC-2 test, 63 % (17) were in the range of significant motor difficulties, which is 13 times higher than the norms. A statistically significant relationship between the Unifittest and MABC-2 was proven.In addition, a positive correlation was also confirmed between the BAL component of the MABC-2 and the long jump task in the Unifittest 6-60. Among the sensory...
