Integrace zahraničních vědecko-výzkumných a akademických pracovníků v České republice
FICHTNEROVÁ, Eva
Foreign experts in higher education and research institutions guarantee international scientific cooperation and the quality of educational programs. Some obstacles harm their quality of life and prevent them from engaging in the work process in a new social environment and from performing professional and scientific work, which affects not only their well-being and health but also the employer's competitiveness. The field of services for foreigners on campus is not systematically researched in the Czech Republic, and therefore there are not enough theoretical basis, information, or procedures recommended for the process of their integration. There is a lack of setting up a system of services and rules involving intercultural and ethical approaches for adaptation to the new environment. This dissertation aimed to find out selected aspects of the integration of foreign scientific-research and academic workers in scientific-research and higher education institutions in the Czech Republic. Quantitative research was chosen, the research tool was a questionnaire, and all public universities in the Czech Republic and the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic were approached. Feedback was obtained from 221 respondents. Data were analyzed in SASD 1.4.10. and SPSS, version 24, and supplemented with qualitative research ? by coding answers to open questions in the Atlas.ti program. The analyzes demonstrated statistical connections between the variables and revealed problematic areas and shortcomings in the work, social and cultural integration of foreign experts. As the biggest obstacles, respondents identified complicated administration, the Czech language as the only official language, and problems with providing basic life needs (accommodation, school facilities, health care), but also pointed to socio-cultural differences. They identified shortcomings in the services provided, which currently vary in quality and are different for each institution. This is the first and very unique feedback with examples that should lead to further research in this area and the incorporation of evidence-based practice within integration strategies. The result of the dissertation not only identified selected aspects of integration, but also resulted in a recommendation for the implementation of complex integration services for foreign professionals disadvantaged by a foreign environment, which will help in removing obstacles and support the creation of measures and rules for solving dilemmas arising from the diversity of cultures, social values, and religions. The practical impact of the proposed concept should result in satisfied foreign employees with good mental and physical health and be a prerequisite for problem-free integration into our society. A high level of quality of life in a scientific and academic environment will thus be able to guarantee the improvement of the Czech Republic's excellence in the field of education, science, and research. The findings should be an impetus for further intercultural education and the deepening of internationalization efforts at home.

Reflection of Values in Social Work focused on Charity Work.
FICHTNEROVÁ, Eva
The diploma thesis deals with an analysis of a concept of a value on the basis of the selected literature. It tries to point out a connection of ethical theories with a practical human behaviour. It has been structured from an explanation of key concepts as ethics, morality, manners; it examines a word of the value and fundamental philosophical theories which are associated with values. In detail it analyses the values in terms of so called philosophy of the material and formal subjectivism. It focuses on representatives of the phenomenology - Max Scheler, Nikolai Hartmann and Dietrich von Hildebrand. It specifies approaches to the values as well as in terms of a human personality, especially from a perspective of the analytical psychology. The thesis shows an importance of the values in the practical application - in the professional ethics of social work, where ethical codes provide an orientation for employees. Caritas Czech Republic was chosen as a model organization. That is also why a theological perspective on the values has been mentioned and basic values and principles of the Code of Caritas Czech Republic as well. This study should be a stimulus for a further exploration of the concept of the value and its significance for human beings. It considers the values to be a fundamental motivation that will lead mankind to a good behaviour (virtues) in the future.

Information in the social sphere for the citizens jeopardized by a social exclusion
FICHTNEROVÁ, Eva
The research of my bachelor work was focused on the issue how much are information necessary and interesting for the people jeopardized by a social exclusion, if they properly get to them and if they have the right form. There is a lot of information in the social sphere and they are important for all of us. From the questionnaires I gave to the people in the sanctuary House of St. Paul and in the streets of České Budějovice I received many answers significant for the knowledge of our community and for my job in public relations with Městská charita České Budějovice (a charitable non-governmental organization). In theoretical part of my work I described general causes and specific problems associated with the life of the excluded citizens, especially their difficulties with the employment, health state, problems with information and communication barriers with organizations and institutions, examples of their excluded or homeless life, possibilities how to return to the common life. In relation to the social services I stated some fundamental legislature. In the practical part I concentrated on the question of a passing and preferred forms of information among them. Answers I got brought me to improvements even in my job (for example a better marking to the sanctuary house from the railway station, maps on the web sites with a marking of the way and the bus stop, more brochures with information in the railway station). I learned that homeless people would be very glad to obtain some knowledge in the field of information technologies and I recommended Internet courses for them. I realized, that all the people living in the street, are interested in information and the most essential way, how to provide information to them, is a street-work.
