Sickness insurance benefits and their specifics in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic (theretical thesis)
BAŠTÝŘOVÁ, Kristýna
The bachelor thesis focuses on the analysis of sickness benefits and their specifics in connection with the Covid-19 pandemic. The aim of the thesis is to compare the legal regulation of sickness benefits under normal conditions and during the Covid-19 pandemic. The thesis focuses on analyzing changes in the legislation of sickness insurance in response to the pandemic and assessing the impacts of these changes on employees, employers, and self-employed individuals. It is based on the Act No. 589/1992 Coll., on social security insurance and state policy on employment, Act No. 258/2000 Coll., on the protection of public health, Act No. 187/2006 Coll., on sickness insurance, and several other related laws. In the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, additional measures were continuously issued during the relevant period, which are mentioned in the thesis. The thesis exclusively contains a theoretical delineation of the topic, in which the system of sickness insurance is detailed as a key component of the social security system. This system provides financial support to insured individuals in the event of a social occurrence. The significance of sickness insurance has significantly increased in connection with the Covid-19 pandemic, as the pandemic has notably influenced the rise in the number of temporary incapacity to work cases. The pandemic prevented students from attending schools and educational facilities, leading to a large number of parents applying for sickness benefits. The thesis defines the Covid-19 disease itself and outlines the overall development of sickness insurance during the Covid-19 pandemic in the Czech Republic. In conclusion, the changes to the current legal regulations effective from January 1, 2024, in the area of sickness insurance are summarized. This bachelor's thesis can be utilized as a source of information for social workers or as study material for students in social sciences.

The series of realized events is built on the border of social and artistic experiment and intimate realism.

Homfray, Šárka ; Jiroutová Kynčlová, Tereza (advisor) ; Kolářová, Kateřina (referee)
The thesis examines the political discourse on informal care during the first four pandemic waves from March 2020 to February 2022. The study explores three main themes: crisis care allowance, distance learning, and the position of single parents in the pandemic. The author uses critical discursive analysis methods, as developed by Norman Fairclough, to identify prevalent images and themes of informal care in political discourse. The analysis also assesses the degree to which informal care has been gendered and the interconnections between political discourse and other discourses, such as journalistic and expert discourses. Finally, the conclusion of the thesis provides an evaluation of the effects of the discourse analysed and assesses the political representation of informal carers.
