This bachelor thesis is dedicated to the psychological aspects related to foster care for a temporary period. Firstly, it describes the position of this type of care in the system of foster care in the Czech Republic and it also defines this type of care in detail. Furthermore, it deals with important psychological connections, such as contradiction between professionalism and parenthood, the topic of short-term duration of this type of care and psychic needs of a child, especially the need of an open future and positive identity. It also emphasizes the issue of attachment and, at last but not least, psychological aspects from the view of a foster parent for a temporary period. The aim of the thesis is to identify and describe the psychological aspects and to connect certain facts and figures with a proposal of our own qualitative research. The exploratory aim is to find out whether there are any specific aspects or expressions in which the children who spent the first year of their lives in temporary foster care will differ from children who spent the first year of their life in a different type of care. Keywords foster care for a temporary period, psychological aspects, child's physical needs, temporary foster care for infants

The Role of Family Meal in Child and Adolescent Development
Celarová, Marta ; Šírová, Eva (advisor) ; Morávková, Kateřina (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on what role a family meal plays in a child, adolescent but also, afterwards, in an adult. Regular family meals affect not only the atmosphere and the mood of the household but also have an important role in the development, behavior and experience of an individual. Children who regularly eat with their families are generally more cognitively and intellectually capable, less problematic in adolescence and maintain better eating habits. They are also more successful socially and in their career, and overall more satisfied than those children who do not dine in common with their families. Family meals help to make relationships more permanent within the family and lead to better communication, but also to extend spare time activities spent in common as well as common time generally. The second part of the thesis contains a research proposal, the aim of which is finding out whether a regular family meal is related to the development of social skills among students of Czech schools, as the available studies cover only (some) foreign respondents. Keywords: Family meal, communication, social skills

The assessment of equine housing systems in terms of welfare
Morávková, Kateřina ; Hofmanová, Barbora (advisor) ; Majzlík, Ivan (referee)
Nowadays, the conditions of animals' breeding are better than they were in the past and bigger emphasis i sput on their compliance and improvement. To secure/provide a good welfare is not an easy task for the breeders. Generally, we know how good welfare should look like, but we do not know, if the animal is satisfied. Various studies and experiments of good and bad life conditions appear. On the other hand, there still are lots of things about the welfare topics, which could be discovered and explored. Other question is, if a bad welfare has something common with animals' cruelty, or does not. One of categories, which is welfare focused on is stablig. When horse breeding and stabling, we should consider their native lifestyle and behaviour. We should do this, if we want to secure a good welfare. In many of cases there is a problem, because as it has been said, there is no strict rule, what is a good and bad welfare. Some horses can be satisfied in a box, and the other can feel bad in the box -- they can have depression and they will feel best when they are out with other horses. Every system and style of stabling has its pluses and minuses. Some of the systems seem to be less suitable for horses, but it depends on the horses' character. But horses do not chooses their kind of stabling, it is choosen by the breeder. The stabling has been solved for centuries, and it must have been solved in the past, it is in the peresent, and it will be in the future. But we still come with new and improved ways of stabling. A modern guy can not imagine, that nowadays stabling should be the same as it was in the past. Today, we do not know, if this way of stabling was found as a good type of welfare and if horses were satisfied with it. It is a question, if better welfare is a box stabling or a styling out. For working horses the best stabling is the lashing one, where horses work in a wood and they want a lot of relax -- through this kind of stabling the rest can be enabled. But according to the law foals can not be roped. To stable the horse with the rope for 22 is a breach of a welfare. So we must alway take the reasons of stabling into consideration and if an exgerrated care about stabling does not verge on a horse's satisfaction. Through the behaviour and understading the horses a guy should be able to recognize, if the horse is fully satisfied and the welfare is arranged in the best way. It should be a reward for the breeders, if the horse has the good lifestyle.
