(Mock-)Gothic Characters in Oscar Wilde's The Canterville Ghost
JÁCHYMOVÁ, Kateřina
The subject of this bachelor thesis is the portrayal of the characters in the short story The Canterville Ghost written by Oscar Wilde, which belongs to Gothic literature but at the same time parodies it in its own way. The humorous short story The Canterville Ghost additionally satirizes the differences in thinking between Americans and Britons. The theoretical part provides a basic characterization of the Gothic genre, information about the author Oscar Wilde, and a typology of typical Gothic characters in both early and late Gothic literature. The practical part includes a description of the plot of the story, characterization of the figures, and a comparison of their behaviour, manner of expression, or appearance with other Gothic characters in order to assess to what degree and how they correspond to the conventions of the Gothic genre.

Jáchymová, Kateřina ; Řasová, Kamila (advisor) ; Baranová, Eva (referee)
The aim: This thesis deals with the investigation and comparison of physical activity in physiotherapy students of Czech and Slovak universities. The aim is to map their activity and investigate the relationships between their activity and stress levels, sleep quality and general wellbeing. Methods: It is a descriptive cross-sectional study, carried out by the already mentioned online questionnaire, which was in English. The link to the SURVIO.CZ website was distributed by the guarantors at universities. In the development of the questionnaire, existing questionnaires were used, specifically the International Physical Activity Questionnaire was used to adress physical activity. For one faculty that participated in the pilot study in 2021, in which the questionnaire was tested, the results were compared with the current results. Statistically, the data were processed using means, one and two sample t- test or F-test in ANOVA. Chi square test and Pearson's correlation coefficient were also used. Results: Women have been shown to be less satisfied with their mental health and to feel less in control of their lives compared to men. When subjectively asessing quality of life, significant differences were found between countries and universities. These results were consistent with the results of the...

Comparison of day regime for children in holiday camp of two types
JÁCHYMOVÁ, Kateřina
Abstract Comparison of day regime for children in holiday camp of two types Bachelor{\crq}s work treats the staying conditions of children at the holiday tented camps and at permanent camps and the mode of their boarding. In individual chapters it deals with the conditions for the stay of the children at the camp, their boarding, their satisfaction and the duties of the arranging person, the health worker and his tasks and last but not least with the day regime of children and the specialisation of the camp. The goal of the work was to find the differences in the facilities, provision of operation and the day regime at both the types of camps (tented and permanent). Tented camps for relaxation activities were the following: in Sepekov ``U rybníka Chobot{\crqq}, Orlík near ``Schwarzenberská hrobka{\crqq} and in Pohoří {\clqq}Na Pile``. The permanent ones were the relaxation facilities Zátaví, Jiskra Dražíč and Varvažov Avie. Three hypotheses were set as follows: H1: From structural, technological and operational point of view the permanent camps are better equipped than those tented. H2: There are differences in keeping of medical documentation in tented camps and in permanent ones. H3: There are differences in the day regime for children at tented and permanent camps. To collect the data in order to fulfil the goal, the asking method with the questionnaires was used; they were given to 120 informants (younger children of school attendance age) in the selected camps. Discussions with leaders and health workers in these camps served to collect the data. The questionnaires contained 19 questions. The backflow of the questionnaires was 100%. The evaluation of the questionnaires was done separately for boys and for girls and also for tented and permanent camps (in %). The aim has been achieved, none of the three hypotheses was confirmed, however the differences in hygienic conditions of boarding were found, and in paradox it was detrimental for the permanent camps. There were differences found in the evaluation of the relaxation activity in the responses of children. The results of our work can be useful for field workers, for further work or for updating of the existing legislation. It can also be used for unification of procedures for health surveillance of relaxation activities of various types.
