Comparison of national public policies of Roma integration in Central Europe
Tuzar, Vojtěch ; Perottino, Michel (advisor) ; Říchová, Blanka (referee)
The societies of most European countries, especially those in Central Europe, are plagued by a high incidence of social and civic exclusion of Roma. The living situation of a significant part of the Roma community is a long-standing human rights challenge for modern welfare states. Since the collapse of the bipolar world, with the flowering of liberal values of equality, it has been assumed that Roma would be relatively swiftly integrated into mainstream society and that unjustified disparities in access to public services would be eliminated. Over the last thirty years, all states affected by significant levels of exclusion of the Roma minority have attempted to address this sensitive issue through a wide range of policies, but without any relevant and lasting impact. The present thesis examines national public policies in the field of Roma minority inclusion in Slovakia, Poland, and Czech Republic and Hungary in the current period. The main objective of the thesis is to compare the national integration policies of selected Central European countries by applying Actor-centred Institutionalism Theory and the A-A-A Model.

Social work with Romany minority in Týn nad Vltavou
NOVOTNÁ, Tereza
The bachelor thesis presents an insight into social workwith the Roma minority in Týn nad Vltavou. The aim of the bachelor's thesis is to determine the current implementation of social work with the Roma minority in Týn nad Vltavou. As a research question, I set out - what methods and techniques do social workers use when working with the Roma minority. A quality strategy, a method of questioning and a semi-structured interview technique were chosen for the research part. The research took place in the South Bohemian town of Týn nad Vltavou, where social workers from 4 different organizations were contacted. The research showed that social workers treat each client as a unique being, regardless of race, prejudice or stereotypes and do not make any distinction between majority and minority clients. Interview, field and community work are considered to be the most frequently applied methods and techniques. Approaches used by social workers, include psychosocial, group, client-oriented and task-oriented approaches. I see the scientific benefit of my bachelor's thesis in understanding the Roma minority, how to work with them as social workers as appropriately as possible and how to achieve full-fledged results. In my opinion, it would be appropriate to expand the offer of field services, as the natural environment of clients means success in social work, especially with the Roma minority. I also consider to be important a greater involvement of Roma fellow citizens in the Community Center of Belonging (Vltavotýnska), where they could jointly participate in activities within community work.

Perception health and illness by the Roma minority.
MLEJNKOVÁ, Silvie
The Roma minority differs from the majority society mainly by its history, characteristics, traditions and customs, but especially by its perception, which is reflected in the approach to health and illness. It is important to have at least a minimum of knowledge about other cultures, because we also meet such patients in healthcare facilities. The theoretical part of the bachelor thesis entitled Perception health and illness by the Roma minority is devoted to history, but also the present. Attention is also devoted to the characteristics, definition health and illness, to which the factors are also related that affect health and illness. Perception health and illness also have an influence on the provision of nursing care. It was discussed with in the last chapter of the bachelor thesis. In total, three goals were set, namely to describe how Romany perceive health, the second goal was to describe how Romany perceive the illness and the last third goal was to describe how attitude towards health and illness affect the Romany access to the prevention. The practical part of the bachelor thesis was then processed using a qualitative research survey, specifically through semi-structured interviews with the Romany aged 18 to 50 years living in the South Bohemian region. A total of 10 interviews were conducted with the Romany members. The information obtained was further analysed in the form pencil and paper, then classified into categories and subcategories. The research showed that the Roma minority perceives health as a value that occupies a very high place in the value system. But it was not in the first place. The first place was taken by the family. Despite the fact that the Roma value health well, the attitude towards maintaining it is negligible. Their unhealthy lifestyle often did not correspond to statements about the value of health. The Romany most often associate the disease with pain, which limits them in their daily activities, and therefore often use a large number of analgesics. Surprising results were obtained in the part of prevention, where without one informant all went to the regular preventive inspections. The results can be used in a professional article or in teaching, for example in the education to health.
