The impact of housing on the quality of life of people moved from socially excluded localities to standard housing
Cinová, Michaela ; Mertl, Jiří (advisor) ; Řeháček, Pavel (referee)
Housing is a fundamental human right, and failure to fulfil this right can be a significant contributing factor to social exclusion. The existence and emergence of localities is a significant factor in the process of social exclusion. They exist and emerge outside or at the edge of the infrastructure of the municipality. The predominant feature is the low level of housing stock - unmaintained buildings, inadequate sanitary conditions, overcrowding of housing units. Tenancy relationships are often not legally regulated and are highly unstable or non-existent, and residents live here without any legal status. The lack of legislative anchoring of social housing contributes to the deepening and widening of social exclusion of people. However, the situation can be partially addressed by applying various approaches to standard housing - for example, approaches to social housing, approaches aimed at preventing homelessness (Housing First, Housing Led, Rapid Re-housing, etc.) or within the private rented sector. The theoretical part of the thesis focuses mainly on the introduction of basic concepts. In the research part, the thesis focuses on mapping the situation of people moved from socially excluded localities to housing outside the socially excluded locality, where the main objective of monitoring life...

Conception of case management in terms of mental health center
Řeháček, Pavel ; Furmaníková, Lada (advisor) ; Palánová, Tereza (referee)
The main goal of the Strategy for the Reform of Psychiatric Care, published in 2013 by the Ministry of Health of the Czech republic, was to improve the quality of life of people suffering from mental illness. One of the results of this strategy was the emergence of new mental health centres. These mental health centres are meant to provide individualized social and health care to people with mental illness in order to prevent or minimize their hospitalization. The service is ensured by multidisciplinary teams which include professionals such as psychiatrists, psychologists, psychiatric nurses, and social workers. Case management is supposed to be a dominant form of the service provided. The theoretical part of the thesis describes the historical context of the case management and its recent exploitation in the mental health centres in the Czech republic. The empirical part focuses on a particular multidisciplinary team applying the case management method. Through qualitative research, it aims to identify the different parts of the case management and the constraints and obstacles of its application. The analysis of the data collected brings the definition of the key problem areas the team is facing. The final part of the thesis provides recommendations for further development and proposes steps...

Changes in Thinking About Science: Parallels of M. Foucault's Concept of Episteme and T.S. Kuhn's Concept of Paradigm
Řeháček, Pavel ; Balon, Jan (advisor) ; Janas, Martin (referee)
This work is focused on introduction of two science theorists Michel Foucault and Thomas S. Kuhn and their concepts of science itself. The crucial concept of Michel Foucaults work is the episteme which can be understood as epistemological field which knowledge is enabled. Foucault puts this concept into the field of archaeology of knowledge which is a methodological tool for his research. Further in the work the term discourse is explained which is used as an information value of certain epoch. This work also structures Foucaults three historical times of episteme which are interdivided by discontinuities. In Thomas S. Kuhn perception the paradigm is the key concept. This concept is the pattern of scientific research of particular historical period and represents values and approaches to research. Paradigm works in normal science as a cycle in which the cumulation of problems - anomaly - is present. When the science reaches the point where explanation of anomalies is impossible the revolution of science takes place and the whole cycle starts again. The last part of this work compares these two crucial concepts.
