Vegetables and fruit in school lunch system
FLEMROVÁ, Karolína
My thesis is named Vegetables and fruit in school lunch system. I have chosen this topic because I think that is very important which eating habits kids are creating in childhood. The basics of nutrition are determined primarily by their parents, but also by the school in which they spend most of their time during the day. A thesis is divided into two parts - theoretical and practical. Theoretical part is focused on the nutrition of school children, especially on fruits and vegetables. There are macronutrients and micronutrients described in each chapter. Thesis also deal with fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins. The part concerning vegetables, fruits, and their technological modifications, such as cooking, baking, cooling, and others, is also important. At the end of the theoretical part, thesis deals with school meals, consumer basket of school canteens and educational programs. For the practical part, the are two main aims. The first aim is to inspect the popularity and frequency of fruit and vegetable consumption among students attending the school cafeteria. It is made by research. Research has been done by a questionnaire survey at two primary schools. The results are showed in bar graphs. Second aim is to determine and compare the composition of school menus in selected school canteens, which were attended by children filling out a questionnaire about the popularity and frequency of fruit and vegetable consumption. The result of the practical part shows that the children do not consume enough fruits and vegetables, at the same time they are not satisfied with the choice and quality of vegetables and fruits in school canteens. The menus show that the same types of vegetables and fruits, as well as their form of serving, are often repeated in canteens.

In this graduation thesis a sample of 237 pupils of the Grammar School and the High School of Economics in Sedlčany was tested by using Unifittest test battery to determinate the motor performance level. The weighted arithmetic mean of the total score of the test battery for all the pupils was 18,3 points, which means that the final evaluation of motor performance level is bellow average. The best results were achieved in pull-ups test with the weighted arithmetic mean was 5,3 points, which matches average evaluation, however, only boys aged 15-19 years were tested. Also, in the both-feet-long-jump-from-stay test the pupils reached average evaluation with 5,1 points of weighted arihmetic mean. The worst evaluation of the pupils was in 12-minute-running test, where the weighted arithmetic mean was 4,0 points and the evaluation was below average. The weighted arithmetic mean in the sit-up test was 4,2 points, in the 4x10 meter-shuttle-run test the pupils got 4,5 points (only pupils 11-14 years old) and in the pull-up endurance test the result was 4,7 points (only girls 15-19 years old).

Risk Behavior of Pupils in the Second Grade of the Hluboká nad Vltavou Primary School
LACIKA, Pavel
The period of adolescence is a period of fundamental changes in the organism of the individual person and also in human´s developing personality. The aim of this work is to determine the occurrence and also possible changes in risky behaviour of pupils in the 6th and 9th grades of the Hluboká NAD Vltavou Primary School. Next aim of the work is to find out whether the frequency of risky behaviour of students rises with increasing age. The work also focuses on the level of energy drinks consumption among adolescent students and the relationship of this consumption with the time spent at the PC, respectively tablet. To achieve the goal, a quantitative research strategy, a questioning method and the technique of questionnaire are used. The questionnaire uses closed questions with the possibility of selecting specific items in the answers and semi-closed questions. The semi-closed questions allow completion of offered answer. A total of 82 respondents were interviewed, 47 girls and 35 boys. Due to the ongoing Covid 19 pandemic an electronic questionnaire survey was chosen. The respondents were therefore addressed by their class teachers who sent them an electronic link to the questionnaire via means of communication. The answers are processed and evaluated by a statistical method using graphs and tables. The hypotheses were tested by a contingency table using the Chi-square test of independence. The hypotheses were verified by 2x2 contingency tables using the Chi-square test of independence. In the case of low frequencies in some PivotTable cells, Fisher's exact test was used. The dependences of the two ordinal variables (the time spent at the PC and the frequency of drinking energy drinks) were tested using an independence test based on the Spearman correlation coefficient. All calculations were performed in the TIBCO STATISTICA 13 program. The established hypotheses were confirmed. The results of the research are summarized in the part discussion and they are compared with the facts shown in the literature that deals with risky behaviour issues. At the end of the thesis possible benefits of this bachelor's work are stated as well as possible solutions- such as the improvement of school programs for primary prevention.

Opinions of older school children on social work
TESAŘOVÁ, Veronika
In this Bachelor thesis, I discuss the views of older school-age children on social work. The aim of the Bachelor thesis was to find out and describe what information children of older school age have about social work, how they perceive it and whether it is promising for them as a possible future profession. Qualitative research, polling method and semi-structured interview technique were used to process the practical part and achieve the goal. Interviews were conducted with 8 children of older school age from České Budějovice who were selected on the basis of the snowball method. After processing the interviews, I conducted their evaluation using the categorization method. The results of the research indicate that children of older school age have little to little awareness of social work, which is not particularly present in school or family settings. On the basis of the interviews, we can conclude that children can deduce what the concept of a helping profession means, but social work as such is largely unknown to them. The results of this Bachelor thesis can help to improve awareness of social work not only for older school age children, but also for the general public. It is particularly the case that social work occurs in everyday life without us realising it and it is therefore a good idea to inform children in primary schools about this area and to offer it to them as a future focus.
