The Problem of Nicotinism at Primary Schools in České Budějovice Region
TVAROHOVÁ, Zdeňka
Abstract More and more young people, also children, are using tobacco products. It is serious patological phenomenon which can effect not only person using the tobacco products, but also the whole society. Using tobacco products causes serious health hazard and diseases, which are usually irreversible. Smoking tobacco is very spread in Czech republic as much as drinking alcohol. Both these phenomenons are tolerated by the society. Society has a big influence on everyone of us and it is very important to prepare healthy environment for curious and inexperienced children. The target of my work is to map the age and motivation factors of the first use of tobacco products, frequency and range of using and attitude towards the smoking. I also target on prevention in schools. Based on the studied materials I stated hypothesis concerning the age of using, realised prevention in schools and ratio between male and female smokers. I used technique of anonymous inquiries. Inquiry was checked by pre-research on which I examined functionality and fullness of the inquiry. Hypothesis {\clqq}I assume that more than half of under age (younger than 15 years) used tobacco products`` was confirmed by the answers in my inquiry. Hypothesis ``I assume that male smokers are more often{\crqq} wasn{\crq}t confirmed. There is 3% more smoking females than males. Hypothesis {\clqq}I assume that realised prevention in school was after the first experience with tobacco and is there for useless`` was also confirmed. It can be presumed of the fact that 17% of the informants didn{\crq}t answer the question, 3% answered ``I don{\crq}t know{\crqq} and 8% answered that they never received any warnings of health riscs in the school. Informants were chosen from two primary schools. Inquiried were total of 203 informants from 6th to 9th grades from ZŠ Kubatova in České Budějovice (91 pupils) and ZŠ Trhové Sviny (112 pupils). Age of the first experience with tobacco products is getting lower, because this inquiry confirmed that average age of the first experience was at 10,9 year of children{\crq}s age. That is why I maintain how important is to prepare complex view of nikotinism problem on primary schools.

The prevention of drug problematic as a risical factor of criminality in Český Krumlov
HAVEL, David
The social environment at present is characterized by an increase in aggression, heightened criminality, and an expanded assortment of a wider spectrum of toxic substances on the drug market, combined with easier access to such substances. Children and youth are at present characterized by {\clqq}group crimes`` (extremist groups, sprayers, vandals, etc.) as well as crimes on property, often associated with the purchase and consumption of drugs. Brutality has increased, as has the intensity of attacks on person and property, and criminal acts are more organized. A thorough analysis of all these manifestations and trends would serve as a basis for the systematic steps towards their solution, but even more so towards their prevention. Work on the topic of Drug Prevention as a risk factor towards criminal acts in Český Krumlov includes a portion of criminal acts committed in the context of drug consumption in the Český Krumlov area as well as the attitude of second level elementary school and secondary school students in the Český Krumlov area towards the usage of drugs and their experience with drugs. The work also includes a prepared methodology of the effective specific primary prevention of addictive substances as a risk factor towards criminal acts for elementary school students in Český Krumlov.

Prevalence of smoking according to education
JELÍNKOVÁ, Lucie
This dissertation deals with the issue of smoking. Its practical part specifies several objectives, one of them being finding out whether the prevalence of smoking within the population is dependant upon the attained qualifications. Establishing the respondents{\crq} views on the harm of smoking is another goal. The approach of the respondents towards a smoking ban in restaurants is demonstrated in this dissertation, so is their awareness of quitting-smoking methods. The decision to give up is also affected by the knowledge and understanding of all the risks bred by smoking, therefore determining the level of the respondents{\crq} awareness of these health risks is another aim of this dissertation. A quantitative research was used in my dissertation to obtain results. A questionnaire of 18 questions was answered by 211 addressed respondents being in the age group of 45-60 years of age. Analysing the outcome it can be said that the prevalence of smoking within the population is not dependant upon the attained qualifications. Nicotine dependence is referred to as a disease therefore the risk of developing an addiction is the same for everyone irrespective of the qualifications accomplished. Nonetheless, the outcome manifests the fact that smokers with lower qualifications smoke a higher amount of cigarettes a day as opposed to smokers with higher qualifications. Considering the results it can be, furthermore, assumed that smokers with lower qualifications are more tolerant towards the nicotine addiction and they feel less unpleasant in a smoky environment. Moreover, their favour for a smoking ban in restaurants and at working places is lower. At the same time, their awareness of possibilities to treat their nicotine addiction as well as of the negative health effects of smoking proved to be lower. Most smokers would like to quit their nicotine addiction (app. 50% lower- qualified individuals and 72% university and college graduates). However, only a very small percentage would seek any professional help when giving up smoking. The unwillingness to treat the nicotine addiction with the help of an expert reflects the unawareness of the severity of such addiction by the smokers themselves. Therefore, the prevention aimed at non-smokers is as important as effecting smokers so that they become more aware of the seriousness and vast consequences of their addiction.

Smoking prevalence in students of the Faculty of Health and Social Studies, the University of South Bohemia.
SLAVÍČKOVÁ, Klára
Smoking is becoming a huge problem not only in the Czech Republic but in all developed countries of the world. It is thus worldwide pandemics, which is necessary to take precautions against. Although the smoking prevalence in middle aged men and women is decreasing, it is increasing in both sexes of younger age groups. Especially, the big problem is occasional as well as regular smoking since the age of ten already. This exactly increases the importance of smoking prevalence. Significant role is played by the healthy life style education which should be provided by a family as well as the school educational system. In smokers there is a higher risk of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases; smokers have also higher inclination toward the onset of cancer than non-smokers. The most serious is bronchogenic carcinoma. The thesis was processed by a quantitative way using questionnaires. The research groups were the students of full-time study in the Faculty of Health and Social Studies, the University of South Bohemia. The main objective was to map the occurrence of smoking in students in selected study programmes of the faculty. I stated three hypotheses for the research. Hypothesis 1, students of the faculty are addicted to nicotine and are not satisfied with their addiction, was proved. Hypothesis 2, smokers prevail non-smokers in the group of investigated students, was not proved. Hypothesis 3, students do not lack information on smoking harmfulness, was proved. The research showed that 41.1% women and 40% men suffer from middle addiction to nicotine. The thesis should serve as an information source for the students and lecturers of the faculty and further it might initiate the establishment of the faculty anti-smoking clinic.

Sects and New Religious Movements, Jehovah's Witnesses
HOVJACKÁ, Veronika
Religious groups are societies, which aims to transcendental realities, but are realized among particular people and in particular time and society. It is interesting to study the relationship between society as a whole and these sub societies. One way of how the main society expresses its relationship towards religious groups, in a broader sense, is the registration of these groups as a state recognized religion. This status is desired and appreciated by the religious groups as it can change their position in public eyes. This thesis is a reflection about how difficult, and maybe even deceptive, is looking for criterions for registration or not registration. It is simply about describing borders between the terms ``sect{\crqq} and ``church{\crqq}. Intuitively, this border is something quite clear, but when we need to decide for or against registration, intuitive criterions by themselves are not enough.
