The members of this minority are consisted of Russians who migrated within union state and after its breake up became a minority of the new succession states.

Rights of minorities in Czechoslovakia and their application
Černý, Jan ; Kuklík, Jan (advisor) ; Šouša, Jiří (referee)
Rights of national minorities in the Czechoslovak Republic and their application Abstract This thesis deals with the rights of national minorities in the Czechoslovak Republic. The introduction is devoted to a brief outline of the situation before the establishment of Czechoslovakia and also the situation just after its establishment and the adoption of a new state by minorities. The core of the work is the analysis of national regulation, especially the constitutional level and language law, as well as the analysis of international law, from which the national regulation was derived greatly. The thesis is also devoted to outlining the functioning of the international system for the protection of minorities within the League of Nations and its establishment. An important part for understanding the issue of the rights of national minorities is to compare their protection in several European countries that had the same international obligations to protect minorities as the Czechoslovak Republic, namely Hungary, Poland and Romania. The international system for the protection of minorities was the first such act in the field of international law and it was to some extent an experiment with a number of shortcomings, such as the recklessness of the management process at its inception or the fact that only some...

Representation of Vietnamese in the Czech newspapers
Bartůňková, Tereza ; Trampota, Tomáš (advisor) ; Nečas, Vlastimil (referee)
Diploma thesis "Representation of Vietnamese in the czech newspapers" deals with representation of this ethnic minority living in the Czech Republic in some czech newspapers. Vietnamese are the third biggest group of foreigners in the Czech Republic. They started coming to our republic in 50's by agreements between Czechoslovakia and the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. Some of them stayed here after 1989 but most of immigrants after 1989 are the new incomers, mostly they come even with families. The reasons of their arrivals are most often better economic situation or better education. The vietnamese community living here is quite reserved so the media are often the only opportunity how to gain some information about this group. But the studies show that Vietnamese living in the Czech Republic get into the media above all in context of criminality. The aim of the survey, done by means of quantitative content analysis, is to chart the representation of the Vietnamese - in what way and contexts the chosen media write about them, eventually find out the fixed ways of presenting the Vietnamese or their stereotypes.

Settlement of Karlovy Vary after the expulsion of the Germans
Slámová, Jana ; Čechura, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Czumalo, Vladimír (referee)
The topic of this diploma thesis is the Settlement of Karlovy Vary after the expulsion of the Germans. The work examines the period after the Second World War, when the German population was expelled in Czechoslovakia and subsequently settled by new inhabitants. The first part of the thesis examines the post-war situation and problems related to the settlement of the Czechoslovak border. Emphasis is placed on agricultural and industrial settlement with issued decrees. The second part of this thesis is devoted to the settlement of Karlovy Vary, which, despite all efforts, had serious problems with the lack of people interested in resettlement. The arrival of re-emigrants and minorities from foreign or neighboring states with Czechoslovakia is closely related to this issue, so this thesis will also address this topic.

Transkulturální rysy, pravidla a kulturní vzory při umírání a smrti vybraných minorit na území České republiky
MAŇHALOVÁ, Jana
The objective of the submitted study was to find out and assess the specifics of transcultural features, rules and cultural patterns at dying and death in selected minorities in the Czech Republic in relation to nursing care, and to describe the experience of nurses with transcultural nursing and to evaluate the possibilities of using the Transcultural Assessment Model Joyce Newman Giger and Ruth Elaine Davidhizar and the Conceptual Model of Cultural Competencies Larry D. Purnell in transcultural aspects, rules and cultural patterns of dying and death in selected minorities in the Czech Republic. The stated objectives were achieved by a combination of qualitative and quantitative research methods, which were part of the research conducted with the financial support of the Grant Agency of the University of South Bohemia (GAJU) in České Budějovice within the team grant project called "Using Conceptual Models in Clinical and Community Practice ", No 048/2015/S. In the first part of the research, a pre-research with 50 informants was carried out by a semi-structured interview technique, each time with 10 representatives of Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism, Islam and atheism. The main objective of the pre-research was to specify the key data for answering research questions and for creating a self-constructed questionnaire that served together with the standardized DAP-R (The Death Attitudes Profile - Revised) questionnaire to complete quantitative data that analyzed the results of 1 700 respondents. The results of the pre-research study became the basis for the nursing documentation proposal, which was verified in the next phase of the qualitative research in a focus group interview, in which 35 nurses from clinical and community practice were involved. Based on the results of the pre-research study, it was found that the care of the dying and the dead is based on traditional values of human life. Informants demand that nurses have 7 virtues in the form of humility, generosity, compassion, peacefulness, chastity, temperance and activity, enriched with respect for human dignity, love, empathy and understanding. Quantitative research has shown that there is a statistically significant difference in transcultural features, rules and cultural patterns in the period of dying and death, depending on religion or personal belief, in which the degree of subjective identification with a religious belief or a personal belief plays an important role. According to the results of the investigation, it is obvious that de-taboooization of dying and death, as well as contact with the dying person and the deceased, greatly contributes to reconciliation with our own mortality. The results have also shown the presence of lower fears of death in women than men, which can also be seen from the results of the DAP-R questionnaire, which show that there is a statistically significant difference in the welcome acceptance of death by gender. The welcome acceptance to death is more expressed in believers than non-believers people. The focus group with nurses appears to have revealed the absence of cultural competencies that can greatly influence the quality of life of dying people and their families. The research study provides a comprehensive view of transcultural features, rules and cultural patterns in selected minorities in the Czech Republic. Based on data analysis, a nursing anamnesis, which can be an appropriate tool for the continual quality improvement of provided care, has been created. In view of the above mentioned, the research study is beneficial both for increasing theoretical knowledge of nursing and for clinical and community practice.
