Addictive substances and Visual Art
Bobková, Simona ; Fišerová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Raudenský, Martin (referee)
This diploma thesis discusses the topic of addictive substances and their influence on artistic creation. In the theoretical part, I first focus on the search for their connection in history on various artifacts that could be found. Among the most common are cave paintings, which I also list in my thesis, as well as sculptures and illustrations. Subsequently, I define the distribution of the types of individual addictive substances that are most often associated with visual artists, and which I describe later. These include alcohol, cannabis drugs, stimulants, psychotropic substances, and opiates. Furthermore, I characterize visual artists who were influenced by addictive substances in their work at that time. I present exhibitions that have a certain connection with this topic, and in the last line of my work, I focus on the preventive component of the relationship between school and family. In the didactic part, together with the pupils of the eight-year high school, we deal with the issue of these substances and realize an art series with the name that this diploma thesis also bears, i.e. "Addictive Substances and Visual Arts." The thematic series contains five creative tasks that aim at a primarily preventive goal. The research part, the method of which is semi-structured qualitative research,...

Drug Prevention in Low-thershold Facilities for Children and Young People in Terms of Social Work
STRNADOVÁ, Pavlína
The submitted bachelor's thesis deals with drug prevention in low-threshold facilities for children and young people. The main goal was to find out how drug prevention is implemented and three research questions were developed to identify it. The Bachelor thesis is divided into two parts. The theoretical part deals with drug prevention and policy, the historical context of drug policy, low-threshold facilities and prevention in them. Qualitative research, polling methods and data analysis were chosen for the practical part. The semi-structured interview was chosen as a technique. The research set consists of 5 informers who are social workers in low-threshold facilities. Informants were approached through email communications. The results of the research were evaluated using the open-coding method. This method produced a total of 10 categories with codes and each category contains at least two or more codes. Research has found that specifically drug prevention takes many forms, but on a whole picture the devices agree. Prevention programs fall under the educational, educational and activation activities of low-threshold facilities. This activity is anchored in the Social Services Act 108/2006 Coll. Low-threshold devices are anchored in this Act under Section 62. Furthermore, it was found that drugs, addictive substances and addiction in general are the most common and popular topics among clients encountered by workers when carrying out prevention activities. This Bachelor thesis offers a glimpse into drug prevention in low-threshold facilities. The results can be used by these facilities or social workers, who carry out anti-drug prevention activities, to improve them or make them more transparent.

Securitization and Stigmatizaton of Illicit Drugs in Slovakia and their Impact on Users
Pecuch, Valentín ; Vostal, Filip (advisor) ; Střítecký, Vít (referee)
The thesis deals with the stigmatization and securitization of (illicit) drugs in Slovakia and its impact on drug users. Currently, drugs are seen as a threat to the security of society, and users are considered reprehensible non-members of society. The theory of securitization is expanded with a critical dimension that allows it not only to describe and evaluate the state of affairs, but possibly to contribute to the improvement of the situation through emancipation. Stigmatization helps to complement securitization, as it allows to show concrete effects on individuals. The thesis also elaborates on the evolution of attitudes towards drugs and drug users both in the international environment and Slovakia, as there have been major changes at the global level over the past century, often motivated by the interests of powerful states. In the Slovak environment, however, there was a sharp change of perspective only after 1989, and the thesis analyses this development in more detail up to the current day, in which stigmatization and securitization of drugs and users still persists. This perspective remains unchanged, despite statistics showing a decline in the number of illegal drug users. However, alcohol and cigarettes have seen an increase in users, also among young people. These findings are complemented by...

Furthermore, it was found that clients began to experience drugs at a very young age and the problems associated with this addiction did not come until many years later, when the drug changed the original scale of life values for all respondents and completely disrupted personal relationships. This bachelor thesis provides insight into the issues associated with addictive substances and their subsequent treatment performed in the Karlov therapeutic community. The results of the research conducted in this bachelor thesis could be used by the Karlov therapeutic community as a basis for an improvement of their current practices.
