Work Opportunities of Long {--} term Mentally Ill People in the Employment Market
ČERNÁ, Pavla
People have always met with the issue of insanity but nowadays it is discussed more often as the present society makes higher demands on its members, particularly to provide for the family. That is considered to be the main criterion of social existence. These days there is a rising number of persons suffering from a mental illness who are to an extent able and willing to work, to fulfil the requirements of the society and to satisfy their needs with respect to work. Therefore the author has decided in her own research to map out the issue of employing long {--} term mentally ill people and the most important factors influencing their work opportunities in the employment market. This is the target of the thesis. Survey was carried out by the quantity research using the method of questioning and the technique of the anonymous questionnaire. The questionnaire was distributed among the clients of establishments for mentally ill people. As research was carried out from the point of view of the person suffering from the mental illness the questions were designed at areas at which these persons are good and those which make them troubles. The results showed there is not a substantial difference between men and women. Despite the existence of particular differences between sexes (e.g. in education, in completing professional courses) these differences are not bound to the presence of a mental illness. Therefore the basic characteristics such as sex, age, education, language and professional competences correspond with the average which is common among other people and do not discriminate mentally ill persons. However the difference at these persons lies in the cognitive deficit influencing output, ability to work, adaptability and flexibility. Almost 50 % of mentally ill people are registered in the protected employment market or do not work due to the worries about the demands made in the open employment market. Contribution of this thesis is according to the author the information that people suffering from a mental illness are able independently or with a little support operate in the society but it is necessary to be aware of the cognitive deficit influencing the personal characteristics and behaviour of people with mental illness. This fact must be considered mainly when we offer them the employment. It corresponds with the need to improve the awareness of possible employers and also labour offices of the issue and of specific needs of the target group i.e. the long {--} term mentally ill persons e.g. by means of lectures and discussions organized by the institutions which deal with the mentally ill population.

Leisure time activities of children at special basic school and practical basic school.
LEPIČ, Jiří
The present Bachelor Paper is focused on leisure time activities of the pupils of primary schools - both practically-oriented primary schools and the special ones. As follows quite unambiguously from the theoretical assumptions, a meaningful use of leisure time by youth is affected by a number of factors. Literature specializing in the subject tells us a major role is played by the system of values and attitudes, but no less by the milieu where the youngsters are brought up. The Paper aimed to find out whether the parents of pupils attending the practical and special schools in Písek, Strakonice and Milevsko knew enough about organizations catering to the leisure time of children. Moreover, the Paper investigated the number of children engaged in the offered activities and examined the organizations they went to to spend their free time. The survey relied on three types of questionnaires: the first one was intended for parents of children going to the practical and special primary schools; the second one for employees of these schools; and the third one was designed for employees of organizations involved in providing the free time activities. The results returned in the questionnaires were then treated to statistical evaluation. Data obtained in Písek, Strakonice and Milevsko disproved my first hypothesis. My second hypothesis was proved true in its first part, but disproved in the second part. The results thus evaluated lead to this conclusion: parents of pupils attending the practical and special primary schools in Písek, Strakonice and Milevsko are not sufficiently informed on organizations catering to the leisure time of children. Attributable to this lack of information is the fact that most of pupils at the practical and special primary schools attended only hobby groups organized by the schools though they could choose from many more such hobby groups as their parents were ready to pay for them.

The Importance of Home Care Service in a Case of Seniors with Mental Disabilities (Neurosis and Depression)
DOHNALOVÁ, Helena
I maintain a position, that large disruptions in the mental state of the late old people are rooted in a loss of physical motion as well as they stem from vast absence of social contacts. Hand in hand with it comes an evanescence of seniors{\crq} ability to enjoy pleasure and happiness. In their declining years they are very reliant on the other people{\crq}s help. I was looking for proofs of how much the household help is only a paid service, or how much carers fulfil missing contacts and communication with the outside world for seniors.
