BRABENCOVÁ, Věra
This Diploma Thesis bears the theme ?Attitudes of the Pub And Restaurant Employees to the Passive Smoking Problem ? Awareness, Health Influences, Regulation?. The smoking related illnesses and deaths constitute the most difficult problem of the public health care in most countries where smoking is a common habit. Health harm risk owing to tobacco smoke is not limited to smokers only, however even those are exposed to such a harm who inhale the tobacco smoke involuntarily ? ?passive smokers?. The aim of this Thesis was so map the problem and influence of the passive smoking in the environment of pubs and restaurants in České Budějovice. To reach this target, both quantitative and qualitative approach of investigation was used. Respecting the quantitative research via the questionnaire method there were three hypotheses to be defined: ?There is no significant difference between awareness of the passive smoking impacts between the employees of smoking and non-smoking pubs and restaurants?, ?The motivation of pubs and restaurants to keep the smoking concept is, primarily, the fear that they might lose their customers?, ?Employees ? smokers started to smoke owing to their work in the smoking environment?. The first two hypotheses were verified, the third one not. The quantitative research utilized the structured dialogue technique. This part of research included two research questions. The first referred to the employee awareness of passive smoking, the second aimed at fact whether the motivation factor of the pub or restaurant to be pronounced the non-smoking establishment is the care of the employee health. After the research had been completed and analysed, the set target was met. Working on this Thesis I obtained a lot of new findings, and I think that it could be a contribution even to practice and serve as an instructional and information material. In particular, as the Thesis brings brief and clear summary of basic findings concerning the passive smoking and it alerts to topicality and importance of the passive smoking not only in the pubs and restaurants. The Diploma Thesis can be also used to publish the research results in order to improve the working conditions of the pub and restaurant employees alerting them to the passive smoking harmfulness which is often underestimated and marginalized.

Working Conditions of Teenagers
BRABENCOVÁ, Věra
So as to elaborate my bachelor thesis I chose the theme of "Working Conditions of Teenagers". This problem seems to me interesting and very up-to-date. The target I chose for my work was to gather information on working conditions of teenagers in selected secondary professional schools and secondary vocational schools by means of the questionnaire survey and its evaluation. As for the survey I chose the method of the quantitative survey, as for the data collection technique I used the questionnaire. The targets chosen were fulfilled in accordance with my ideas; the questionnaire survey was realized without any substantial difficulties. Hypotheses concerned the awareness of the staff on the legislative limitation while employing teenagers, sufficiency of the work-health care provided to teenagers and satisfaction of teenagers with working conditions in professional practical trainings. All the three hypotheses were validated. The second and the third hypotheses, however, were not filled as unambiguously as the first one, therefore let me suggest precautions to improve working conditions of teenagers {--} more consistent observance of the obligation to undergo not only the entry medical examination but even the regular preventive medical examinations and the monitoring whether this obligation has been fulfilled; mutual efforts to maintain the unconflictful and collegiate relations between the apprentices and their foremen, using the most quality instruments and tools and, last but not the least, also the higher assessment of the work.
