Tomčíková, Nelly ; Wolák, Radim (advisor) ; Šťastná, Lucie (referee)
The thesis is focused on mapping of the foreign research on the relation between media (television and the Internet) and children within EU for the period of 1990-2010. Television emerged in the lives of children in 1950s and immediately became the focus of the media studies. First crucial study which has influenced development of media and children research for the next decades was study Television and the child (1958) conducted in Great Britain. Since then we have been able to follow several changes in research agenda. First change is how the child is understood for the research purposes, then the shift from media effects to media meanings and uses and last but not least shift from television to the media environment. The most of media research on children between 1990 and 2010 has been carried out in Great Britain, Germany and Nordic countries. Most of European countries have long tradition of qualitative as well as quantitative research.

Efforts for autonomy in Zakarpattia Oblast of Ukraine after dissolution of Soviet Union
Tomčíková, Nelly ; Lupták, Milan (advisor) ; Lisa, Aleš (referee)
Zakarpattia Oblast of today's Ukraine has been a part of Hungarian Kingdom, Czechoslovakia, Soviet Ukraine and then, after collapse of Soviet Union, Ukraine. The main goal of this thesis is to deal with the efforts of Rusins to gain the autonomy since 1848, the economic and social potential to become the autonomous part of Ukraine today and to deal with the question whether Rusins could be considered as the nation or not. Due to isolation of this peripheral part of the state by Carpathian Mountains, Zakarpattia has always been the center of autonomic tendences. According to M. Hroch term "nation" should have its objective (by which he meant language, history, culture etc.) and subjective traits (to realize themselves as a part of the nation). There is rusin language, history and culture, but the national consciousness of beeing Rusin is still missing.
