Fišerová, Andrea ; Beneš, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Šmíd, Marek (referee)
In this diploma thesis with the title Children in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia I try to look at war period through children's eyes. At first I focus on children of Czech then German, Jewis and finaly Roma origin. I constantly deal with events, institutions and places that have essentially influenced their lives. In chapter about Czech children I pay attention to their education, Curatorium for youth education in Bohemia and Moravia, internment camps, the fate of children whose parents were imprisoned or executed and children from Lidice and Ležáky. In connection to German children I also don't forget the project Kinderlandverschickung. Next chapters deals with children of Jewish and Roma origin, their persecution and concentration camps. I attempt to capture daily reality of children in this period and in last two chapters deal with children's relationships with their parents and with other children.

Possibilities of working memory training and the influence on cognitive functions
Páchová, Anna
TITLE: The possibilities of working memory training and the influence on cognitive functions AUTHOR: Anna Páchová DEPARTMENT: Psychology SUPERVISOR: PhDr. Miroslav Rendl, CSc. ABSTRACT: The topic of the PhD thesis was to explore the possibilities of the cognitive development using the training of the basal functions. The analysis of literature showed that (1) working memory (WM) is considered to be the function, which is frequently associated with higher cognitive processes and (2) core training can improve the WM capacity and this improvement seems to be transferred to other types of memory. The transfer to higher cognitive functions (intelligence) was not confirmed unanimously. Training programs were evaluated usually in different groups of individuals but none of these studies considered the possibility of WM training in context of the socio-cultural handicap, even if low SES children achieve poorer performance in cognitive tests including tests of WM. Therefore the aim of this study was to verify the possibilities of WM training on cognitive development with special interest in low SES children. We designed a 400-minutes WM training PC program, which was applied on two groups of children with different SES (low SES - Roma children, middle/high SES - Czech children). The results showed that both groups...

Lomnička yesterday and today : Transformations of social structure in the village and their reflection in the lived world of Roma children
Schurdaková, Petra ; Šanderová, Jadwiga (advisor) ; Kandert, Josef (referee)
The master thesis "Lomnička now and then: Changes of social structure in a village and its reflection in life-worlds of Gypsy children" reconstructs a life in Lomnička together with capturing a change of social structure of inhabitants by creating a past and present picture of the village. A result of the reconstruction is an environment that shows signs of a culture of poverty. This environment sets a base of living space for children in village. In short, it describes problems of the space as well as character of Gypsy family (beliefs, habits, social organization, and relationship to nature) and childhood itself. The aim is to find out how children in Lomnička reflect contemporary environment in their life-worlds. With a help of mental maps, this thesis describes life-world of children in which environment created by family and environment created by church is interconnected. Such a fact is reflected, in children's life-worlds, in positive presentation of their environment and mainly in change of their habits.

The purpose of my thesis is to present the structuring of time of eight Gypsy children aged 11 to 17, living or spending free time at prague's suburb Velká Ohrada. The central goal of this thesis is to identify the Gypsy's child structure of the day and to find out which points of a child's day are defined as crucial by child and by parents and to which event of a day these points refer to. The text is divided into theoretical and empirical part. Theoretical part focuses on pointing out the main aspects of the topic of time. First part also tackles the issue of conceptualization of time as a category itself and as a category, which structures the reality. Question of time is analysed in the context of sociology and psychology. The literature related to the structuring of time of Gypsies is also reflected in the theoretical part of the thesis. The discourse is conducted from a historical perspective and notes that the perception of time was affected by several significant milestones. Empirical part, in addition to the description of objectives, methods, research sample and environment pays particular attention to analysis of its own data of quality- oriented research - the view of Gypsy childern and their parents on how they spend different types of days (e.g. weekday, weekend day, holiday day)....

The attitude of inhabitants in the location of České Budějovice to accepting gypsy children to a substitute family care
KŘISTKOVÁ, Lucie
In spite of a fact that parentage is taken as a natural part of life, unluckily the number of families without children is growing up. How to resolve this situation, if the pair is wishing for the baby and they can not have it? One of the feasible solution is substitute family care. Both sides - a pair wishing for the baby and children growing up in institution - will be happy with this method of solution. This bachelor thesis is divided into two parts the theoretical part and the research. The point of the theoretical part of my bachelor thesis was to explain what the substitute family care is and to describe forms of substitute family care. Next point was to describe how life of gypsy minority in the Czech Republic looks like, to describe stereotypes of majority to this minority and describe problems of a gypsy child in substitute family care. The point of the practical part was to find out an opinion of community in the South Bohemian region on taking gypsy children to substitute family care, to find out their prejudices against gypsy people and if this prejudices influence the choice of accepting gypsy children to substitute family care. I did quantitative research which contained my own answer sheet, which consisted of 14 questions and with this answer sheet I was trying to achieve the best stated goals. Questions were divided into questions finding out the opinions of the respondents and identification questions. In sum 205 answer sheets was hand-out and 197 was returned to me, so rate of return was 96%. I set two hypoteses: Hypotesis 1 is: "Gypsy children are accepted more into foster care than into adpotion." Hypotesis 2 is: "The number of probability of acceptance of gypsy child is less with more prejudice of people." The more prejudice people have, the smaller number of probability of acceptance of gypsy child is. The research shows that in community the prejudices are very extent and because of that people are not willing to accept gypsy child to substitute family care. The next confirmed fact was that people would rather accept gypsy child into foster care than adopt him forever. This bachelor thesis woud be helpful to employees of OSPOD in deparment of substitute family care to recieve a real image of intolerantion to gypsy minority, next would be helpful to claiments applying for a substitute family care to recieve helpful information and as well for the students as a study material.
