MEDALOVÁ HŮDOVÁ, Václava

Ethical principles of mentoring as social support of young people
Walters, Ester ; Červenková, Denisa (advisor) ; Zimmermannová, Marie (referee)
Youth mentoring involves matching a young person who may be experiencing social, economic, or personal challenges with a volunteer mentor who serves as a positive role model, providing guidance, support, and encouragement. The mentoring relationship usually lasts for a specific period, such as a year or more, and may involve regular meetings or activities between the mentor and mentee. The goal of youth mentoring is to assist young people in developing the skills, confidence and resilience they need to overcome obstacles, challenges and achieve their full potential. This diploma thesis explores the ethics of mentoring, specifically in the context of formal youth mentoring. The primary focus of the work is centered around ethical aspects of mentoring as a means of providing social support to young individuals who are facing social exclusion. The main objective of this thesis is to examine how mentoring can provide positive social support to young individuals during times of transition, taking into account the ethical principles of mentoring and the impact of relationships on the well-being of mentored youth. The thesis aims to explore the various ways in which mentoring can be beneficial, while also considering the potential ethical risks such as power imbalances and boundary violations.

Comparison of the effects of marijuana legalization on mental health in selected countries
Stránecký, Jakub ; Nekola, Martin (advisor) ; Potůček, Martin (referee)
The topic of legalizing marijuana for recreational use is becoming increasingly relevant over time, not only worldwide but also in the Czech Republic. This trend began with the legalization of recreational marijuana in the United States, specifically in the states of Colorado and Washington in 2012. Subsequently in 2013 Uruguay became the first country to legalize marijuana throughout its entire territory. Since then, other U.S. states and countries such as Canada and Malta have joined the legalization movement. The most interesting development from the perspective of the Czech Republic is in Germany, where the legalization of cultivation and possession of marijuana for recreational use is planned from the year 2024. This, coupled with the growing support from experts and politicians advocating for marijuana legalization in the Czech Republic, could lead to the adoption of similar legislation. The legalization of marijuana raises a series of questions that need to be addressed before such a step is taken. Among the most common concerns associated with marijuana legalization are its impact on mental health and the potential increase in marijuana use among adolescents due to easier access to the drug. To answer these questions, it is essential to compare existing models of marijuana legalization...

Keprt, Jan ; Voňková, Hana (advisor) ; Papajoanu, Ondřej (referee)
Changes in leisure activities of older school-age children and adolescents in the context of the restrictions announced by the Government of the Czech Republic during the COVID-19 pandemic ABSTRACT The thesis focuses on the changes in the leisure time of children and adolescents due to the restriction of personal freedom of individuals related to the state of emergency declared by the government of the Czech Republic. This state of emergency was declared by the government of the Czech Republic in order to protect public health in the context of the SARS CoV-2 (COVID - 19) pandemic. The thesis is divided into a theoretical and a research part, where the theoretical part explains the concepts related to the topic and the research part explains the interrelationships between the selected variables based on a questionnaire survey and follow-up interviews. The research found that the impact of the SARS CoV-2 pandemic is not the only factor influencing the changes in the respondents' leisure time, especially since the period under study covers almost three years of the respondent's life, and therefore there are normal developmental changes.
