Slavíčková, Kateřina ; Vozková, Anna (advisor) ; Tetourová, Tereza (referee)
This bachelor thesis qualitatively analyses interviews of young girls and their carers on the topic of relationships with friends and social self-concept. Apart from the concept of friendship, the aim of the thesis is to clarify the image of the interviewed girls' social self-concept, i.e. how they perceive their own effectiveness in establishing friendships, which is then related to how their carers think that the girls could handle such social situations. The theoretical part of the thesis defines the issue of Asperger's syndrome, social self-concept, focusing specifically on the main concept of the whole thesis, as well as Albert Bandura's concept of self-efficacy. The thesis then focuses on Jenniffer Connolly's concept of social self- efficacy and last but not least, it deals with the concept of friendship. The empirical part first defines the general research problem and includes the research question. It deals with method, data collection and with how they are processed. It then specifically defines the method of grounded theory. The empirical part also presents the results of the social self-efficacy section and contains the interpretation of the results. The discussion then further analyses the connections of these results with literature and includes possible limits of the theses. Klíčová...

This thesis researches aspects of (re)socialization and integration of unaccompanied female minor immigrants in Italy. The thesis aims to present an overview of the immigration situation in Italy. The focus is on Nigerian girls as Nigeria is the country of origin of the majority of unaccompanied female minors hosted in reception centres in Italy. There is a discussion on who these minors are and why they migrated. The theoretical background is based on a theory of Social Integration developed by Bosswick and Hackmann who defined Social Integration as being a four-dimensional process, consisting of structural, cultural, interactive and identificational aspects. This is an ethnographic study and was carried out though the mean of participant observation in a reception centre located in Sicily. The analysis of the field notes was done in accordance with the 4-demnsional model proposed by Bosswick and Hackmann.

"There are not many of us girls and that is a shame". Low number of female students at technical secondary schools
Nguyenová, Monika ; Kobová, Ĺubica (advisor) ; Hasmanová Marhánková, Jaroslava (referee)
This diploma thesis is attentive to very low numbers of girls, studying at technically oriented secondary industrial schools. It examines the factors, which lead to the reasons why girls are not motivated to study at the schools of this kind, as well as factors which cause that they do enter these schools, such as their interest in studying technologies, their motivation in the form of their future professional application or the existence of patterns in the form of people who they imitate. In the theoretical part, which examines the causes of the absence of female students, the work criticises the claim that boys are more talented for studying technical disciplines, while girls excel in humanities. It points to ways of keeping gender stereotyped thinking, for example, a strongly rooted opinion, that little girls should be led to take care of children and other persons, housework, and professions which are an extension of their domestic roles into the public sphere. After this work identifies the risks and impacts of the absence of girls in technical fields, there are mentioned some procedures that should be introduced in the education of children in elementary schools, so that the children may not have to decide on their future field of study based on generally accepted gender stereotypes.
