Ideas of lower secondary pupils related to the content of the curriculum focused on viruses and the ways of their transmission, expressed through a verbal description and drawing
ZÍKOVÁ, Eva
The aim of this thesis was to investigate the perceptions of primary school pupils about viruses and viral infection, both through verbal description and the use of drawings. A part of the thesis was to create a teaching unit based on critical thinking and working with text to develop pupils' constructs about viral issues. The review of the literature focuses on the definition of viruses and viral infection, and the topic of viruses in curriculum documents is introduced, complemented by an analysis of selected science textbooks. Part of the literature review is devoted to teaching methods, with an emphasis on working with text, as this method was used in the research investigation. The research itself was carried out in two primary schools through a questionnaire survey (in the form of a pretest and a posttest) combined with the implementation of the designed teaching unit. The results were then extended with information obtained from interviews with selected pupils. The results of the questionnaire survey showed that the pupils in the study sample had only a rough idea mainly about viruses and had significant difficulties in describing viral infection. After the implementation of the teaching unit, the pupils achieved better results. The teaching unit helped them better express the characteristics of the virus and the viral infection. Interviews with selected pupils confirmed these results, as it appeared that pupils were already able to describe the course of the viral infection in their own words.

Stejskalová, Jana ; Kučera, Tomáš (advisor) ; Střítecký, Vít (referee)
The thesis entitled "Genesis of Russian propaganda as a serious security threat of the 21st century from the perspective of NATO and EU" examines the phenomenon of contemporary Russian propaganda. Russia commonly uses propaganda as a tool of promoting its interests. Russian propaganda is very sophisticated, aggressive, and massive. Mainly due to the effective use of the internet and social networks, Russian online actors are able, in a short space of time, to successfully generate an information chaos, which is difficult to navigate in. Contemporary Russian propaganda has several key aspects, namely the anti-American and anti-European orientation, attacks on Western democratic values, and the mixing of truth with fiction.

At the same time, it attempts to identify the moment when Russian propaganda began to be perceived as a serious security threat. Whereas the key of the analysis is to interpret the perception of Russian propaganda, the concept of securitization was chosen as the theoretical...
