Jedlička, Martin ; Hořák, Jaromír (advisor) ; Beranová, Andrea (referee)
The submitted thesis deals with problems of juvenile justice. The emphasis is put on the Czech legislation, represented primarily by the special Act No. 218/2003 Coll., on the liability of youth and juvenile justice and on the amendment of some laws (Act on Juvenile Justice), which contains a substantive law part and a procedural law part. I chose this division for the thesis as well. The aim of the thesis is to identify, to review and to carry out an analysis of the Czech legislation and to point out its contention parts. The thesis is divided into three parts. The first part deals mainly with the historical development of juvenile justice in our territory in the last 100 years and general aspects of the Act on Juvenile Justice. A separate chapter of the first part is about the concept of restorative justice, its use in the Czech legislation, but also in documents, directives and resolutions at the European level and United Nation level. The second part is focused on selected aspects of substantive law regulation, such as minimum age of criminal responsibility, mental and moral maturity, moral development of children, measures imposed on youth and relationships between these measures. In the last part I deal with selected aspects of procedural law, including the role of the Probation and Mediation...

Rechtbergerová, Karolína ; Pospíšilová, Tereza (advisor) ; Frič, Pavol (referee)
The master's thesis focuses on the nature of volunteering in a traditional interest organization, specifically the Czech Tourist Club. The aim is to identify the specifics of volunteering in this organization, including whether the examined organization faces issues typical for traditional organizations and their impacts. The research also explores how the Czech Tourist Club addresses the identified problems. Data for the study are sourced from interviews with organization employees and volunteers, a questionnaire survey conducted within the Czech Tourist Club, and documents of the organization. The research yields significant insights into volunteering within a traditional interest organization. The findings confirm challenges faced by traditional organizations related to aging of their members and declining membership. Moreover, the results offer new perspectives on volunteering in this type of organization and volunteering in general. Changing life values and attitudes among individuals result in volunteers having different priorities and expectations, emphasizing the need for organizations to adapt and align with societal changes. Keywords: Volunteering, traditional interest organization, membership base, aging members, youth, civil society

Photographer Marie Tomanová and American Youth
Kopelentová, Tereza ; Turek, Pavel (advisor) ; Géla, František (referee)
This master's thesis aims to explore the body of documentary and photographic work by Marie Tomanová, a prominent Czech photographer who has spent more than a decade living in the United States. Tomanová is now an established part of a long-standing tradition of American documentary photographers who seek to capture the emerging young generations and their culture. In its theoretical part, the thesis will provide a brief history of youth culture in American society from the beginning of the 20th century all the way to the early aughts. It will explore the context in which photographers have depicted youth culture since the mid-20th century, with a particular focus on Marie Tomanová's work as one of the most prominent contemporary representatives of the genre. The practical part consists of a visual social semiotic analysis of selected photographs by various photographers introduced earlier in the thesis. The analysis will attempt to decode the fundamental values encoded within these photographs of young Americans, compare any changes in these values over time and also focus on differences in approach among the individual authors. Finally, this thesis will attempt to place Tomanová's body of work within the lineage of American documentary photographers. The results of these analyses will be...

Andrle, Štěpán ; Kokštejn, Jakub (advisor) ; Vampola, Jindřich (referee)
Title: Assessment of general motor coordination, sprint speed and dribbling with the ball in young football players. Purpose: Find out the relationship between measured parameters from the motor coordination tests (area of general motor ability), the timed slalom ball control test (area of football skills) and the sprint test with a change of direction (area of conditioning abilities) for the young football players (U6 - U11). Find out the possible differences between the age categories of pre-preparation (U6-U7), younger preparation (U8-U9) and older preparation (U10-U11). Find out possible differences between players with different levels of motor coordination in the slalom test with a ball and in the speed test with a change of direction. Methods: We used the method of observation and measurement for data collection. We used a form of field testing for the observations. The research group consisted of 90 football players in the preparation categories (U6, U7, U8, U9, U10 a U11) in the football club SK Slavia Prague. The Körperkoordinationtest für Kinder (KTK) test battery was used to determine the level of motor coordination. This test battery contains 4 tests from which the motor quotient can be calculated. Agility test was used to determine the fitness ability of the players movement speed...

Bláža, Lukáš ; Zahálka, František (advisor) ; Buzek, Mario (referee)
Title: Selected parameters of fitness assesment of elite young soccer players Objectives: This work identifies selected parameters of the fitness readiness of young elite soccer players. Additionally, we describe terrain motor tests focusing on the metrics of speed, dexterity, and agility, amongst others. Finally, we describe the results of the tests and analyze the speed capabilities and individual indicators by using the motor terrain tests. Methods: Subjects were studied using field testing specific to soccer. Participants were elite soccer players under 16 years old who were in the national selection. The subjects attended a measurement at national level with artificial grass, the standard playing conditions. We investigated the speed capabilities of each player, followed by a statistical evaluation of the results using computer programs. Results: The individuals tested showed very good condition parameters, forming a homogeneous assemblage. An analysis of the players' motor test performances determined their speed abilities. It was found that at single speeds in various sections of a run, which the players achieve during a twenty meter run, the curve of acceleration rises and plateaus as they start to maintain their speed. Keywords: football, youth, tests, speed, agility

Ulipová, Jana ; Bednařík, Petr (advisor) ; Köpplová, Barbara (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with the magazine "Širým světem", which was managed by Stanislav Nikolau (1878-1950), a prominent figure in the public life of the First Czechoslovak Republic. Based on a historical analysis of primary sources, placed in context by the study of secondary literature, it completes Nikolau's personality including his views orientation that is based on the ideas of the nationalist right-wing, with a strong anti-Communist orientation, through the leadership of the Czech fascist movement Vlajka to the anti-Semitic rhetoric. The thesis presents his rich activity in the pedagogical, journalistic, and editorial field and does not omit his professional work that was always closely intertwined with geography. However, it is an analysis of the non-fictional periodical "Širým světem. The Geographical Magazine", founded by Nikolau for young readers in 1924 that is the core of the thesis. The magatine's content also corresponded to that − it included adventure stories, short stories and original travel reports that − in addition to the resilience of the human spirit − also reflected the diversity of geographical conditions especially on non-European continents. It continued to develop and change in the context of Nikolau's preferences, reflecting the growing interest of the reading public...

Media imperialism and its possible influence on identity perception: The case of Lebanese youth
Abdul Baki, Sandra ; Němcová Tejkalová, Alice (advisor) ; Lábová, Sandra (referee)
Western media imperialism in the Global South has long been a discussion in media studies. Lebanon, a country in the Levantine region, is often characterized by its conflicting Arab and Western identities. This study investigates whether the domination of Western media in the entertainment industry plays a role in shaping the cultural identity of the Lebanese youth towards a more Westernised one. The study uses a cross-sectional survey of 140 respondents aged 18-25 from five main universities in Lebanon. The study analyses the collected data through descriptive and inferential statistics. The study reveals that the higher the consumption of Western entertainment media, the weaker the fulfillment with local culture on the one hand and the higher the identification with Western culture on the other hand. In addition, respondents who have high consumption of Western entertainment media tend to adopt Western cultural preferences of wearing Western fashion, listening to Western music, and being fluent in both Arabic and Western languages at the same level.
