Causes of canine dominant aggression (Canis familiaris) to people
Suková, Karolína ; Lindová, Jitka (advisor) ; Stella, Marco (referee)
Karolina Suková Abstract People have been living with dogs (Canis familiaris) in close symbiotic relationship for many thousands of years. Such a kind of coexistence cannot get along without certain risk factors. Although aggression is a natural and wide spread phenomenon in the animal kingdom, manifestation of canine aggression toward people is a public health problem which has to be resolved. Dog bites can cause traumatic injuries to victims and decrease the quality of life or even cause the loss of life to the animal. Therefore there is a serious need to determine the risk factors of dog attacks to people and provide effective preventive strategies to this problem. We consider two kinds of risk factors to be fundamental in this respect: factors depend on the dog (e.g. age, breed, sex and size) and factors depend on the owner (e.g. method of training, prior experience with care of dogs, knowledge of natural behavior of dog, time dedicated to dog etc.). Our study examined this risk factors using a questionaire. Seventy two respondents (owners of both aggressive and non-aggressive dogs) participated on our study. Our results suggest that owner's knowledge of natural behavior of dog, time which the owner dedicates to his dog and sex of the dog correlate significantly with canine aggression toward people.

Methodology of using combat games in the environment of alternative forest schools of pre-primary and primary education, as possible prevention of bullying and healthy development of pupils.
Nováková, Sandra ; Kazík, Petr (advisor) ; Paulovčáková, Lucie (referee)
The diploma thesis "Methodology of the use of rough-and-tumble play in the environment of alternative forest schools of pre-primary and primary education as a possible prevention of bullying." points to the area of children's games, which are inherently associated with such physical manifestation that it can cause all sorts of concerns in adults. The rough-and-tumble play as well as fighting and combat play are in question considered in this thesis as a kind of games, sometimes possibly neglected, but necessary for the healthy development of children's personalities. If the development of children and pupils is the goal of school facilities, then the possible inclusion of combat and combat games in these environments seems to be suitably developing. Alternative schools, in this case forest kindergartens and primary schools, are so open to innovation that this thesis chose them for the imaginary incorporation of rough-and- tumble play into their curriculum. It also outlines the possible context between the conscious fighting game of children and their perception of bullying, or the possible influence of the fighting game on the elimination of these undesirable behaviours. The empirical part formulates methodological material in accordance with the described characteristics of selected schools. Data...

Effect of a dummy on behaviour of Yellowhammer and Chiffchaff males in playback experiments
Kubátová, Hana ; Petrusková, Tereza (advisor) ; Veselý, Petr (referee)
A playback experiment in which a recording of vocalization is played to the tested subject and its response is observed, is a widely used tool for examining bird song and its functions. Most often only acoustic stimulus is used, but sometimes a visual stimulus is also provided in the form of a dummy. Taxidermic mounts or models made from different materials are used as the dummy. It is discussed among researchers, whether it is or is not necessary to use a dummy in experiments and how does its presence affect behavior of the tested individuals. However, only few studies directly focus on this issue and test the effect of dummies. The best way to test the effects of a dummy on passerines in playback experiments is to test the same individuals in both situations (with a dummy and without a dummy) and compare the reactions. The aim of this theses was to perform such experiments on Chiffchaff (Phylloscopus collybita) and Yellowhammer (Emberiza citrinella) males and to find out whether they would behave similarly in both variants of the experiment, or if their reaction would be enhanced in the presence of a dummy. Chiffchaffs reacted significantly more aggressively in the dummy experiment. The biggest difference was time spent by attacking the dummy and staying close to it. In Yellowhammers, the dummy...

Agression and bullying among pupils in chosen elementary school
Semerádová, Kristýna ; Hanušová, Jaroslava (advisor) ; Váchová, Alena (referee)
The thesis consists two parts. The first part is an introduction into aggression, risky behavior and bullying phenomenon. This part is also dealing with the problematic of deviations. The aim of the practical was to detect and defined bullying in 7th grades in chosen elementary school. In this part I prepared a questionnaire for the target group and based my analysis on it. Then results were compared between the classes and the next step was an interview with school employee, which is responsible for preventing methods. This interview helped me to understand which cases of bullying occurred, how the school managed it and the future preventing measure. The main question, I tried to answer in my work, was "Is there bullying among pupils in 7th grades?" The result of my research was optimistic. Just 1/3 of the respondents had been bullied or knows someone who was. The rest 2/3 of the pupils did not encounter with bullying. The second part of my research focuses on bullying kinds and there effect. Most of the responders consider that emotional bullying is worse than physical. In the conclusion of this thesis were created recommendations for future prevention of bullying occurs. KEYWORDS: Aggressiveness, aggression, bullying, aggressor, victim, school, family, deviance

Aggressive behavior of patients from a nurse perspective
Petříková, Zuzana ; Bratová, Andrea (advisor) ; Tomová, Šárka (referee)
Bachelor thesis " Aggressive patients' behavior from the nurse's point of view" deals with the problems of rising incidence of aggression and violence towards nurses in health care facilities. The thesis is divided into two parts, theoretical and empirical. Theoretical part includes an introduction to the given problem and getting familiar with several basic concepts., which are important for understanding of this phenomena. The theoretical part is bringing a brief overview of already published studies with the same topic in the Czech Republic, in Europe and across the world. Empirical part informs about own research outcomes, which was conducted with the participation of 178 respondents, who work as nurses in two large health care facilities in Prague. We used a questionnaire method based on VAPS scale (Violence and Aggression of Patients Scale), which determines the frequency of nurses contact with different types of patients' aggression during the last year. Statistical processing was done by using Mann- Whitney U-test. Over the preceding 12 months, 95.5% of respondents had experienced verbal aggression and 80.3% physical violence, which are similar numbers as in other studies using VAPS scale, but more than is reported in the literature. Empirical part also contents evaluation of own results...

Effect of a dummy on passerine behaviour in playback experiments
Kubátová, Hana ; Petrusková, Tereza (advisor) ; Linhart, Pavel (referee)
Playback experiment is a frequently used method for the scientific research of the bird song and its functions. A recording of vocalization is played in the territory of the tested male, and its responses are observed. Majority of the studies using playback recordings presents only the acoustic stimulus. Sometimes a dummy is also used to provide a visual stimulus. This review focuses on the effects of the dummy on the passerine behavior in the playback experiments. In the first part a comparison is made within the groups of experiments with the same field of interest. The main questions are: how often is a dummy used in these types of experiments, how do designs and results differ depending on its presence/absence and, if possible, how do researchers evaluate its use. Subsequently, I tried to compare experiments with and without dummy within same species, but because of the differences of the experimental designs and the differences in forms of presentation the results, which were often not comparable, it was difficult to make clear conclusions. Next part analyses the few available studies where both trials with and without a dummy were performed on the same individuals. The review shows that the dummy allows tested males to express additional behavioural patterns, which can be noted by the...

Aggressiveness of children in kindergarten
MAJEROVÁ, Monika
The bachelor work deals with the aggressive behaviour in preschool children attending kindergartens, the acts of aggression and their causes, the solution of conflict situations as well as the ways how to help children manage the aggression. The aim of the work is to find out the way how pedagogues in kindergartens can help children to ease their aggression. The theoretical part introduces the aggression issue from the point of biological functioning and the influence of the social environment. It further deals with the causes of aggressive behaviour, the pedagogues' reactions to the aggressive manifestations and the environment contributing to the elimination of the frequency of the aggressive behaviour. It as well describes the methods leading to the development of emotional intelligence, self-control and improvement of communication skills and further shows how to work with the aggression during the education process. The practical part consists of casuistry of three children who more frequently show their anger or aggression while being in the group but are driven by different causes of the aggressive behaviour. Those children are closely characterized in order to provide better picture there are their temperament characters and relationships with other classmates described. The practical part further deals with the description of activities helping to eliminate aggression. During the activities and games there are the observed children's reactions as well as their overall influence of the collective intercepted.
