Cuřínová, Veronika Mariana ; Angelovská, Olga (advisor) ; Vlčková, Kamila (referee)
This thesis deals with framing of homebirths in the Czech Republic. It is focused on the interpretation of homebirths in the Czech mass and alternative media. The goal of this paper is find out what kind of discourse dominate about homebirths in public discussion, against which attitude to childbirth it is in conflict and if this interpretation correspond with "real" practise of homebirths. I used discourse analysis for uncover discourses in Czech media and the in-depth interview with mothers for detecting the process, risks and experience of homebirth (was compared with the experience of childbirths in hospital). The secondary goal of the thesis is to discover how much are reflected the people involved in this issue. Theoretically, the paper is based on framing theory and the concept of human rights. The sources of analysis are composed of the Czech media articles (2014-2017) and the statements of mothers interviewed.

The diploma thesis deals with the increasing age of first-time parents from the perspective of family policy. The aim of the thesis is to describe the situation of family policy in the Czech Republic in the context of the increasing age of first- time parents and to explain changes in the behaviour of today's parents as well as to outline the causes and consequences of postponing parenthood. The work is based on the theory of life path and then focuses mainly on transitions in adulthood and parenthood. It defines family policy and describes related concepts such as family and the basic actors of family policy and their roles. For the purpose of this work, a mixed research combining both quantitative methods of questioning and qualitative methods were chosen. The research results were analysed and presented using graphical representations. It was found that the response of family policy to the increasing age of first-time parents in the Czech Republic is not very large, due to its institutional setting as well as due to the relatively insignificant effects of this phenomenon. The most significant causes of the increasing age of first-time parents can be characterized as the development and shift towards gender equality, the financial issue of the cost of the child and the support provided by the...

Štrobachová, Tereza ; Vlčková, Kamila (advisor) ; Dobiášová, Karolína (referee)
Women's homelessness is a not very well researched and rather neglected topic in the Czech Republic. However, it requires special attention because the number of homeless women is increasing. This thesis focuses on the impact of gender and psychosocial aspects of female homelessness on the availability of assistance for homeless women. The research objectives will identify the specificities of women's homelessness from the perspective of homelessness policy actors, which will be translated into the availability of assistance for homeless women and the actors' perspectives on the availability of housing, services and healthcare for homeless women. In the empirical part, a qualitative methodology is used, where the research instrument is semi-structured interviews with homelessness policy actors followed by qualitative content analysis using deductive and inductive coding. The research conducted identified the specificities of women's homelessness, the areas in which homeless women are identified and how these factors affect their access to housing, services and healthcare. It also resulted in concrete measures proposed by the actors. A secondary finding from the research is how the issue has been affected by the ongoing pandemic of COVID-19.
