Life (dis)satisfaction and the decision to migrate: evidence from Central and Eastern Europe
Otrachshenko, V. ; Popova, Olga
This paper provides the first evidence regarding the impact of life satisfaction on the individual intention to migrate. The impact of individual characteristics and country macroeconomic variables on the decision to migrate is analyzed in one framework. Differently from other studies, we allow for life satisfaction to serve as a mediator between macroeconomic variables and the intention to migrate. Using the Eurobarometer Survey for 27 Central Eastern (CEE) and Western European (non-CEE) countries, we test the predictions of our theoretical model and …find that dissatisfi…ed with life, people have a higher intention to migrate. The macroeconomic conditions have an effect on the intention to migrate indirectly through life satisfaction. At all levels of life satisfaction, unemployed, middle-aged individuals with a low or average income from urban areas at all levels of education are found to have higher intentions to migrate from CEE countries than from non-CEE countries.

Rossini's biography and work: Bassoon Concerto and Issue of Autorship
Hlavatý, Petr ; SEIDL, Jiří (advisor) ; HERMAN, František (referee)
Gioacchino Rossini, who lived from 1792 to 1868, was the author of 39 operas, various works of sacred music, cantatas and other vocal and instrumental compositions and various smaller pieces, which are called Péchés de Vieillesse (Sins of Old Age). He worked mainly in Italy and France. He interrupted his compositional activity in 1829 and to the end of his life just composed mostly minor and occasional pieces. Typical features of his works are melodically creative themes, sotto voce alternating with fortissimo full orchestra, the accompaniment alternating bass and themes starting sixteenth value followed a half note (or their variations). Bassoon Concerto, whose autorship is not yet confirmed, was probably written between 1845-48 for the bassoonist Nazzareno Gatti for one of his final exams at lyceum of music. From detailed analysis of the work can not be concluded that the concert is completely original work of Rossini. Today, the most valued works are that written in the style of Italian opera buffa (eg. The Barber of Seville).

Perceptions of the elderly by society
ŠANDOVÁ, Libuše
I chose the topic of my thesis The perception of Elderly by the society because I believe that it belongs to major actual topics. The whole world faces the demographic issue of aging population and our country is not an exception. The aging of population is accompanied by a number of problems, which may induce negative perception of aging among inhabitants of the particular countries and tension among generations. However, everybody must realize that they are heading towards old age because the aging process relates to everyone since birth. Old age is only a result of the lifelong process of aging.The aim of my thesis is to map the differences in the opinions of people aged 18 to 29, 30 to 39, 40 to 49, and 50 to 65 regarding the age when a person is considered to have become a senior. I also wanted to find out how the respondents feel about the situation and status of seniors in the society and to discover whether the attitude of the respondents towards elderly people is positive or negative. How the subjective perception changes with the respondents´ increasing age? Are there any differences in the opinions of men and women? In which age categories can we already perceive some elements of aging? To meet the objective of my thesis I determined the following hypotheses. H1: Persons up to 30 years of age perceive seniors and old age as a negative issue and later their perception changes to tolerance. H2: There are differences between the perception of old age and seniors by women and men not only within the particular age categories but also in general. H3: The current society behaves adversely towards seniors. In the theoretic part I am firstly addressing the individual phases of a human life. I am also paying attention to the period of old age and to changes accompanying the final part of human life. Subsequently, I am clarifying the terms age, geriatrics, and gerontology, which are connected with the topic of my thesis. Following is a chapter called Old Age and Society where I am addressing the issue of perception of old age in the past and at present. Another topic is aging. I am dealing with the term´s definition and the causes of its origination. Then I am tackling the topic of population aging. In the final part of my thesis I am focusing on financial securing in old age, retirement pensions conditions of the claim and its individual types. For my survey I used an anonymus questionnaire. I asked respondents aged 18 to 65, which I divided in the aforementioned four age categories and compared the results. The thesis may be used by society organizations as a basis for education of young people and it can also be published in the journal Kontakt.

Generic myths and facts relating to blindness phenomenon
PALETÁŘOVÁ, Renata
This diploma thesis devotes to the questions of general public awareness of themes like visual handicap, integration, the blind and their life in society. The aim was to find out, if fables and distorted images exist, which relate to the phenomenon of amaurosis; to compare the findings regarding the education of informants and also to specify the sources, from which people gather the information of the visual handicap. The thesis also maps the availability of the chosen source of information. The research has shown that people believe the fables and fames which are spread in our society. The most informed in the area of the visual handicap are undoubtedly the informants with university degree education, who gain their knowledge at the university, on the internet or from television. The books, which treat the above mentioned themes, are readily available and a few of them are to be found in every local library.
