Bibliografický záznam ŠÍP, Michal. Vztah občanské participace a hédonistického životního způsobu u mladistvých. Praha: Karlova univerzita, Fakulta sociálních věd, Institut sociologických studií, 2015. 133 stran, Vedoucí diplomové práce Doc. PhDr. Pavol Frič, Ph.D. Anotace Diplomová práce "Vztah občanské participace a hédonistického životního způsobu u mladistvých" zkoumá, do jaké míry je oprávněné hledat příčinu nízké hodnoty občanské participace mladistvých v hédonistickém životním způsobu. Participativní chování poskytuje mladistvým prostor pro psychosociální rozvoj, podporuje jejich demokratický kapitál a též artikulační možnosti vnášet vlastní agendu do veřejného prostoru. Dá se předpokládat, že vzhledem k demografickému vývoji české společnosti bude potřeba participace mladistvých stále více žádaná. Pro implementaci účinných veřejně politických nástrojů k řešení této situace je důležitá znalost participativního chování mladistvých i jejich motivace, hodnotové orientace a sociálních potřeb. V teoretické části práce jsou proto představeny jednotlivé perspektivy zkoumání občanské participace a hédonistického chování. Práce pracuje se dvěma hypotézami. První hypotéza předpokládá, že hédonistický životní způsob produkuje takové vzorce chování a hodnotovou orientaci, které jsou v principielním rozporu s...

The sexual content in current music videos
Adámek, Petr ; Vedral, Jan (advisor) ; Štechová, Markéta (referee)
This thesis deals with the representation of sexual content in music videos as a product of mass communication between musical artist or record company and the audience. The main objective of this work is to analyze and interpret phenomena of sexual behaviour or nudity in a predefined sample music videos. The theoretical part defines marketing function of music video and explains the principles that are the base for displaying the sexual content in current production of movies. Other functions of music video such as socio-cultural principle and charity aim are mentioned. Theoretical part also briefly describes history of music videos. The practical part is based on content analysis of the presence of sexually explicit content in music video and ivestigates its various forms. There are two pre-defined aspects which are subject of observation: i.e. the presence of predefined forms of sexual behaviors divided into seven specific categories as well as the presence of three degrees of nudity. The observed sample is a set of fifty music videos that were posted on YouTube in 2014, while in the same year reached the largest viewership. It is therefore the set of the most popular music videos on the YouTube platform of last year. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Individual sexual behaviour control as a public policy topic (based on analysis of regulations in the Czech Republic)
Vošmik, Josef ; Angelovská, Olga (advisor) ; Novotný, Vilém (referee)
Josef Vošmik Diploma thesis: Individual sexual behaviour control as a public policy topic (based on analysis of regulations in the Czech Republic) ABSTRACT The goal of the diploma thesis named Individual sexual behaviour control as a public policy topic was, based on the analysis of the law regulations in the Czech Republic, to define and understand how sexual expressions are legally limited in our country. Human sexuality is a very private affair, but there are certain situations when the state authority has to interfere. Human sexuality is a very complex phenomenon. On one side it has very deep biological roots, but on the other side satisfying our needs has been modified by the culture and society as well. Therefore in the theoretical part of the paper we tried to draw main components of sexuality through the view of such branches as ethology, psychology, social and cultural antropology, sociology and gender studies as well as ethics, law and public policy. Questioning human sexuality we cannot omit sexuology as a branch which is associated with it most closely. So we aspired to describe the basic elements of sexual motivation which are sexual identification, orientation and emotions. Of course we paid special attention to sexual behaviour. The sexual disorders were also addressed, because they have a...

Hormonal control of male traits in leopard gecko, Eublepharis macularius
Schořálková, Tereza ; Kratochvíl, Lukáš (advisor) ; Rehák, Ivan (referee)
It is generally believed that the presence of male traits is regulated by androgens. This thesis is designed to reveal the influence of testosterone on male traits in the leopard gecko, Eublepharis macularius. The noninvasive skin application mixture of vegetable oil and testosterone was used to manipulate the hormonal status of females and castrated males. This method has proven to be an effective alternative to the widely used hormonal implants. Manipulation was successfully validated, and there was apparent progressive increase of male sexual behavior in both groups. In females, the onset lasted much longer time, but both groups were able to perform all components of males sexual behaviour. Furthermore, I found that, contrary to widespread view, male sexual behavior persisted several weeks after reduction of testosterone levels in both manipulated groups. These results bring new evidence for temporary organization of male sexual behaviour by testosterone. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Hormonal control of male sexual behaviour in reptiles
Schořálková, Tereza ; Kratochvíl, Lukáš (advisor) ; Landová, Eva (referee)
The most important hormone affecting typical male sexual behavior in reptiles is testosterone, but also other steroid hormones such as dihydrotestosterone, estrogens or progestins may be involved in this regulation. According to the organizational-activational hypothesis testosterone acting during early ontogenic stage has an organizational effect on adult behavior and this behavior is triggered by influence of recent levels of hormones. Moreover, it was formulated the hypothesis on temporary organization of male sexual behvior that could change existing interpretations. Reptile reproductive strategies use to be classified according to gametogenesis and steroidogenesis as associated or dissociated reproductive strategies howerever, this division is rather artificial. This review summarizes existing knowledge of the hormonal influence of sexual behavior in reptiles, and comments the most common methods.

Noninvasive measurement of steroid homones and effect of hormonal manipulation on behaviour in the gecko Paroedura picta
Matušková, Lucie ; Kratochvíl, Lukáš (advisor) ; Fraňková, Marcela (referee)
Hormones influence life of all animals. Not only they affect physiological changes in organisms, but also impact their behaviour. This work focuses at two main groups of steroid hormones: glucocorticoids and androgens. Glucocortiods are activated in response to stress. Their levels can be measured using non-invasive methods, which have a range of advantages. The main advantage is the feedback-free sample collection for enzyme immunoassay. As the measurement involves metabolites of the hormones rather than the hormones themselves, prior validation of the method is, however, necessary. This work reports on a study aiming to validate non-invasive measurement on the Madagascar Ground Gecko (Paroedura Picta). The validation was based on ACTH challenge test: Synacthen Depot was injected, which should lead to increased blood level of glucocorticoids. The validation, however, was not successful. The measurement did not discover significant increase in the levels of the metabolites of glucocorticoids. In addition, the work focuses on behavioural effects of testosterone, the primary androgen. Hormonal manipulations have been carried out on several male and female specimens. The results have discovered differences in sexual behaviour between control groups. On the other hand, the hormonal manipulations had no...

Men's sexual fantasies
Svatoňová, Petra ; Weiss, Petr (advisor) ; Šivicová, Gabriela (referee)
This study is concerned with men's sexual fantasies content that appears either within partner's sexual lovemaking or during masturbation. Except fantasy description and classifying it also pays attention to the associations with sexual satisfaction. The study results have proved that they appear much more and in higher variety with masturbation. One of the most popular fantasies is lovemaking with the own partner. Most men state one deviant fantasy at least, homosexual fantasy is an ordinary phenomenon even with heterosexual men. From the point of sexual satisfaction some differences have been approved in the fantasy content in contrast with unsatisfied individuals. Sharing mutual fantasy with the own partner has been approved to be very important.

Sexual Behavior of Adolescents in the Context of Health and Social Issues
KUBIŠTOVÁ, Tereza
The theme of this thesis is the sexual behaviour of adolescents in the context of health and social issues and the aim of this thesis is to explore this behaviour. Today it is proven that tolerant standards of adults shape the attitudes of young people. Therefore, the work will focus on clarifying opinions and viewpoints of juvenile sex life. The research involved a total of 40 respondents, who were selected by random selection principle from secondary schools in České Budějovice. The research sample was divided according to gender quota to 20 girls and 20 boys aged 17 years. The data were processed by statistical analysis and nonparametric methods, namely the Mann-Whitney test and the chi-square test, were used for hypothesis testing. The main aim of this thesis was to explore the characteristics and consequences of sexual behaviour of adolescents in secondary schools in České Budějovice. On the basis of the goals three hypotheses were set: hypothesis no. 1 "The boys start sexual life earlier than girls", hypothesis no. 2 "Girls pay attention to protected sexual intercourse more than boys" and the hypothesis no. 3 "Students who think that the sex education (discussions on sexual topics) in primary schools has meaning start sexual life later". This thesis could be used by social workers in social work with minors. It could be used also by curators for work with the young. Finally, it could be used to educate children in primary schools, particularly in the subjects of sexual education or health education.
