Rational reflection of faith in theology
Koch, Rudolf ; Salvet, Ondřej (advisor) ; Svoboda, David (referee)
The bachelor's thesis deals with theological reflection on the doctrine of the knowledge of the Christian faith. True knowledge is possible only with an understanding of the philosophical reason with which faith is interrelated. Reasonable thinking has its origins in the Greco-Roman wisdom of antiquity. The aim of the thesis is to describe theological teachings that deal with the search for truth from the time of ancient philosophy. The ancient books of the Old Testament describe, in the form of a distinction, the unity between the knowledge of faith and the intellectual knowledge of human truth. The fullness of truth has been perfected in the good news of Jesus and is accessible only in the light of faith. The main sources of faith are the testimonies of early christianity and the origin of the formulation of the confession of faith. The encyclical Fides et ratio, which is the primary source of this work, combines philosophy with theology. The study of philosophy is an essential part of theology and together they support the search for truth. Today's theological reflection emphasizes important aspects in matters of understanding the nature of man and the meaning of life. This truth is available only in the search for God, which is the culmination of every theological reflection. Keywords Word,...

Religion in the United Nations Security Council
Formánková, Marie ; Parízek, Michal (advisor) ; Dostál, Jan (referee)
This thesis deals with the occurrence of terms with religious significance in the meeting records of the United Nations Security Council. Religion manifests itself in the private and public spheres, in which it also intervenes in political and international affairs. As it is also present in various forms in the United Nations, the thesis aims to find out whether religion is also manifest in the Security Council and, if so, in what forms and contexts. It also tries to find an answer to the question if there was a temporary increase in the number of mentions of religion after 2001. In addition to the literature, the thesis is based on the analysis of Security Council meetings, that took place in the period 1996- 2006. A dataset was created consisting of ¼ of the meetings for the given period, which means 550 records out of a total of 1 998. Through the analysis of these documents, the thesis focuses not only on the number of religious expressions and their form, but also on the possible causes that may affect their presence. Primarily, it is the thematic focus of the UNSC meeting, which is treated as the main factor in the occurrence of references to religion. Therefore, the thesis tries to find out whether they really represent a fundamental role and in which topics religious aspects occur most...

Multicultural approach in Pre-hospital care
JANOVÁ, Andrea
The topic of the bachelor thesis is dedicated to multicultural nursing specifically in the conditions of pre-hospital emergency care. In today's globalized society it is necessary for paramedics to have basic knowledge of multicultural care. The theoretical part defines basic concepts in multicultural treatment, it is dedicated to communication and characterizes individual minorities living in the Czech Republic. For the practical part, there were three goals set: 1. To map out the approach of paramedics while providing care to a member of another nationality in the conditions of pre-hospital emergency care. 2. To map out the experience of paramedics with the individuals of given cultures within pre-hospital emergency care. 3. Find out the opinion of paramedics on whether they were sufficiently prepared for multicultural care within the qualification study. To fulfil set goals, qualitative research method was used, via the approach of queries and semi-structured interview technique. The research sample consisted of paramedics of the Karlovy Vary and South Bohemia regions with various lengths of experience. The research investigation found, that paramedics choose the same approach when in contact with ethnic groups. They are aware of various differences, though the most common problem is the communication barrier. The paramedics have both positive and negative experiences considering providing care to minorities. The research revealed, that the education about multicultural care is mostly insufficient and that the paramedics are willing to further educate themselves on the issue. Based on the research, an option of developing a special application was proposed. It would be able to quickly and precisely translate even professional medical terms from different languages in action. An information brochure about the principles of providing pre-hospital emergency care to ethnic groups was also made. Furthermore, it would also be possible to compile information from the bachelor thesis into scripts, which would be intended for teaching about multicultural nursing.
