Community and (Non)Individualized Person. The Case of Fandom.
Hásová, Veronika ; Buriánek, Jiří (advisor) ; Sekot, Aleš (referee) ; Numerato, Dino (referee)
This dissertation examines sports fandom through the lens of sociology of community. The aim of the thesis is to verify the functionality of the concept of community in contemporary Czech individualized society and to propose a possible grasp of the concept for analytical research. Thus, the theoretical part focuses on aspects that can be helpful to define, explore and compare communities in today's society. The empirical part is based on a qualitative case study combined with an ethnographic approach, where the focus is on one particular community, the community of hockey fans. The findings show that the fan community has undergone two generational changes in the period under study and that social relationships are a very important element for all processes in the community to ensure a sense of belonging to the community and the very survival of the community over time. Community is still a functional term that dynamically changes in response to social change and should certainly not be neglected by sociological research, for example because of its unclear conceptualisation. That is, it is possible to think of individuation and community as parallel processes that form a dialectical relationship with each other, rather than as mutually exclusive. Key words: community, individualization, fandom,...

Corruption mechanisms at Ukrainian universities
Maliukov, Hryhorii ; Mlynář, Jakub (advisor) ; Buriánek, Jiří (referee)
The corruption is a term which due to its negative characteristics can intervene into various spheres of human society on everyday basis and because of that, it attracts attention from the point of view of sociological research. Corruption as a phenomenon connected with abuse of power for own gain refers to obtaining privileges and material wealth, thereby gravitating to the structural area and is explained more often in the area of macrosociology, than in terms of sociological microanalysis. The objective of the thesis is to, using empirical research, understand corrupt practices which are happening at Ukranian universities and point out the intersubjectivity of the given practices in the light of social theory. The research of the corruption phenomenon is observed on the example of qualitative analysis of gathered semi- structured interviews with 7 Ukranian students. The interviews are subjected to interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA), which individually observes the lived experience of an individual. The analysis of interviews itself takes place utilizing the computer program for qualitative analysis ATLAS.ti. The answers of respondents focus, in reconstruction of corrupt practices experiences, on the interaction plane in which the process of interiorization of corruption where the...

The phenomenon of the advantages of the home environment in Czech football: an analysis of the influence of the (non) presence of fans on the behavior of players and referees
Kotěra, Jan ; Buriánek, Jiří (advisor) ; Šafr, Jiří (referee)
This bachelor's thesis examines the impact of the absence of fans on the so-called home-field advantage within the Czech football league. The aim was to verify the validity of conclusions from foreign studies on local data. The methodology used included t-tests for comparing match statistics with and without fans, and multiple linear regression with interactions. The results show that the absence of fans significantly influenced the match statistics. For most of the analyzed variables, there was either a complete elimination of the difference between the home and away teams, or this difference was at least halved compared to matches with fans. The influence of fans was demonstrated in the statistics of both home and away teams, for example, in variables such as the number of points and ball possession. In other player behavior- measuring statistics, there was a statistically significant (p-value < 0.05) impact only on the home team's statistics. As for the referees' decision-making, measured by fouls and yellow cards, in the absence of fans, they significantly changed their approach only towards the away teams. However, this too led to an overall reduction in home-field advantage. This work thus provides evidence of the significant influence of social forces, represented by the presence of fans, on...

Radimecká, Magdaléna ; Buriánek, Jiří (advisor) ; Podaná, Zuzana (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the issue of domestic violence in connection with the intergenerational transmission of aggressive behaviour. The aim of this work is to test the hypotheses on data from Pilot Survey of Students from 2018. The first part of the thesis presents theories that explain the origin or reproduction of domestic violence. In addition to the theory of intergenerational transmission, it is, for example, the theory of social learning, which is often cited together with the above-mentioned theory. I also deal with methodological aspects and specifications of Pilot Survey of Students from 2018. In this part of the work also set of hypotheses for subsequent analysis is formulated. In the analytical part, the results of the analyzes are presented, their interpretation and hypotheses tested, the validity of which was confirmed through secondary data analysis. The conclusions from the conducted research thus confirmed the validity of the main thesis of my bachelor's thesis: "The intergenerational transmission of aggressive behavior has an effect on the reproduction of domestic violence".

The aim of the study was to find out what factors influence employee identification with the company. Using multiple linear regression, the results of our analysis confirmed that employee identification with the company is significantly predicted by the factor of motivation, and the degree of employee identification with the company is most influenced by whether the employee enjoys and finds the work fulfilling. Another significant predictor is the...

Attitudes of secondary school students towards physical education
Janíčková, Klára ; Buriánek, Jiří (advisor) ; Šafr, Jiří (referee)
(english) This thesis focuses on the issue of non-participation of adolescents in physical education classes in secondary schools. The main aim of the thesis was to identify the causes of this phenomenon and to find possible alternatives that would lead to increased participation of students in physical education. The research combines quantitative surveys in secondary schools and qualitative interviews with selected students who show reduced activity in physical education classes. The research suggests that the most significant influence on participation and enjoyment of physical education classes is the content of the classes, among other social factors. Furthermore, the qualitative interviews revealed that secondary school students have a need to manifest their independence through the need for autonomy during classes, appeal for personal development and also manifest their autonomy by resisting authority. The interviews also highlighted the considerable fragility of identity during adolescence, with adolescents' identities being influenced by social judgements, the judgmental nature of society and pressure to perform. The present paper comes up with recommendations that could help in designing school curriculum and modifying the school environment and teachers' approach to physical education...
