Stromšíková, Vanessa ; Kulhánek, Adam (advisor) ; Barták, Miroslav (referee)
Background: Flavoured non-alcoholic beers have become very popular among children and teenagers in recent years. These products are appealing because of their taste, packaging, design, but also because they give the impression that they are more like lemonade than beer. They are affordable and risk-free for most people, so children and adolescents usually consume it in the presence of adults, often parents.

Methods: The research was realised by quantitative method, namely a questionnaire survey. Data were collected as questionnaires in paper form in selected schools in the district of Prague 9 and transcribed into MS Excel, where they were also processed.

Kůlová, Markéta ; Marádová, Eva (advisor) ; Bartoňová, Miroslava (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with the evaluation of the need for a set of didactic aids for pupils with different special educational needs, the creation and verification of a set of didactic aids for pupils in the field of 2-year Practical School, which can be used in the teaching of the subjects Sewing and Working with materials. Due to the lack of suitable aids in the field of sewing and working with materials for secondary school pupils with a wide range of disabilities and disadvantages, it seemed like an appropriate solution to invent and create tailor-made aids based on theoretical analysis of the issues of education of pupils with SEN, mostly with mild and moderate mental retardation, autism spectrum disorders and combined disabilities or with impaired communication skills. In the practical part, the method of observation, interview and action research was used to verify didactic materials in specific teaching situations with pupils of the 2-year Practical School at Secondary Vocational School in Liberec. The aim of the thesis is to answer the research question whether it is possible to create and verify a set of didactic aids that can be used in theoretical and practical teaching for the education of pupils with special educational needs in the subjects Sewing and Working with Materials, i.e....

Toxic Plants and Fungi - Student Awareness of Specific Species as Prevention of Intoxication
Rendlová, Lucie ; Andreska, Jan (advisor) ; Hanel, Lubomír (referee)
ABSTRACTS The aim of this study is to evaluate the knowledge of poisonous plants and fungi among students and teachers and to present an overview of selected poisonous species of plants and fungi. The theoretical part focuses on the educational system and the inclusion of this issue in the Czech curriculum. The subsequent section presents case studies of serious poisonings of children, which served as one of the bases for selecting the individual species mentioned in the study. The overview of the individual species focuses on the description, active substances, and symptoms of poisoning, along with information on possible first-aid measures. Historical curiosities about some species are provided as potential didactic tools for teaching. In the practical part, I focus on verifying hypotheses, assuming a limited knowledge of this issue among both teachers and children. In the conclusion of the thesis, I confirm the hypothesis of superficial knowledge of poisonous plants and fungi among teachers. The hypothesis of children's lack of knowledge about the mentioned issue was not confirmed, but their knowledge was bolstered by a previous presentation on the topic. Awareness of various poisonous species is crucial not only for ensuring the safety of children during school events but also for teachers, who are...
