Addictology services from the perspective of inhabitans of Příbram
KYMLOVÁ, Petra
Addictology services pursue prevention and addiction treatment. In Czech Republic, these services started to develop more after the Velvet revolution in 1989. Until then, the topics of addiction and especially drug use were taboo and their problematic not discussed publically. The addictology services in the Příbram disctict are provided by the non-state, non-profit organization Magdaléna, o.p.s. The Contact center operates in Příbram since 2002, the Outreach program was established in 2003 and the Outpatient Addiction Treatment Clinic started its operation in 2017. The target of this thesis is to discover, how well informed are the residents of the Příbram district about the addictology care provided in this disctrict and map their views towards addictology services in general and specifically towards addictology services provided in the Příbram disctrict. The theorecial part is dedicated to establishing the general concepts in the areas of addictology, drug addicton and addictology services. It describes the network of care for people with addiction and the historical development of this care in Czech Republic. It pays attention to the definition of the basic sociological terms in the area of public opinion and available researches of public opinion in regards to the use of addictive substances. The quantitative strategy was used for the research part of the thesis, using a survey including closed and semi-closed questions, and questions with range options. The research set comprised of 430 respondents of the Příbram district residents. The aquired data wre evaluated using descriptive statistics in MS Excel, hypothesis were checked using the SPSS statistical program. The research investigation showed, that over 40 % residents of the Příbram area are aware of the services of the Contact center and the Outreach program, but are not sure of how these services operate. Over 30 % of respondents never heard about the services of the Outpatient Addiction Treatment Clinic, which operates in Příbram for only 3 years. Nearly 56 % of respondents have heard about the Magdaléna o.p.s. organization. The most controversially perceived topic is providing the low-threshold services to active drug users for free, and the financial viability of the addictology services for the country and society is questioned. Around 50 % of the respondents is glad to have addictology services provident within the Příbram disctrict and support them, with further 30 % of the respondents tend to agree with this statement, which I see as a positive outcome for the CAS Magdaléna Příbram. This thesis and its results can serve as a feedback for the workers of the Příbram area addictology services and to making the relaying of information to the public and presenting the services in personal contact by the workers of the outreach program and in media propagation more effective. Furthermore, this thesis can have an informative and educational value for everyone starting to get interested in the problematic of addictology services. I believe that the questionnaire was desinged in a way, that made the survey benefitial and informative for the respondents.

The diploma thesis deals with the perception of the teaching profession through the eyes of selected teachers of the 2nd level of primary school and at the same time brings information about the view of the teaching profession by the addressed representatives of the public. In the theoretical part, on the basis of professional literature, information is processed concerning the teaching profession and the current situation in education in terms of the prestige of the teaching profession, feminization of teaching staff, teacher remuneration, profession and working hours of teachers.

The aim of the practical part was to find out how the addressed profession is viewed by the addressed teachers and several people from other professional fields.

Analysis of generational differences in public opinion on the disintegration of Czechoslovakia
Kukačka, Jakub ; Klípa, Ondřej (advisor) ; Kocián, Jiří (referee)
In this thesis named "Analysis of generational differences in public opinion on the disintegration of Czechoslovakia", I am focusing on documenting the moods of the Czech citizenry in the period from 1990s to present day. The main force behind the dissolution were the political elites of both successor states which acted without consulting the citizens of both republics who were mostly supporting the proponents of the continued existence of the federation, according to public surveys of that time. However, since the dissolution of the shared state, the public's attitude has significantly changed and major role in these changes plays generational composition of a given society. In the 30 years, since the dissolution, new generations have established themselves. Therefore, it is more than appropriate to compare these moods and their changes and try to identify the causes behind them. The result of this work should be a basic historical overview of the final stages of the CSFR, a mapping of the development of the public opinion on this event, a comparison of that development and identification of possible generational trends.

Attitudes Towards Free Movement of Workers from the Perspective of Welfare Regimes
Janáková, Šárka ; Young, Mitchell (advisor) ; Rovná, Lenka (referee)
This Master's Thesis studies the connection between welfare regime clusters, their institutions and public attitudes towards the free movement of workers in the European Union. It aims to analyse, whether welfare regime clusters can serve as a useful tool for understanding the cross- national differences in public opinion on intra-EU labour migrants. To do so the Thesis uses the institutional theory and looks at three dimensions of welfare state institutions - the universality of the welfare state, economic inequalities and job opportunities. The study is conducted on the case of eight (former and current) EU member states, which are divided into four pairs, each representing one of the welfare regimes - conservative, liberal, social democratic and Southern European. The Thesis concluded that neither clustering into welfare regimes, nor institutional dimensions represent a sufficient tool to explain the variations in attitudes between the chosen countries. Insufficiency of clustering was shown in the case of some countries, that are part of the same welfare clusters but show different levels of support for free movements of workers. Additionally, countries with the positions in the studied institutional dimensions which should lead to the most positive attitudes do not reach the predicted degree of...
