Leisure activities for children with hearing handicap
SEBENIOVÁ, Tereza
The topic of my bachelor thesis is: "Leisure Time Activities for Hearing-Impaired Children". The theory part of my bachelor thesis explains what hearing impairment means and the associated concepts, and it further presents special education as an academic discipline and surdopaedia as its branch. The final theory part defines the concept of leisure time and describes the organisations and institutions that offer leisure time activities. The thesis is aimed to determine the offer of leisure time activities for hearing-impaired children in České Budějovice. The research part is focused to identify how hearing-impaired children spend their leisure time, and to gather information from people who work with hearing-impaired children. To further illustrate this issue, it was necessary to find out in the organisations that offer leisure time activities whether they have some clients amongst hearing-impaired children and whether their organisations enable at all to work with such handicapped children. The research part was implemented using qualitative research and the method of controlled interview. The research was carried out in the period of four months from January to April 2011. Interviews were conducted in three target groups - the S1 set comprised hearing-impaired children, S2 covered teaching staff, and S3 included organisations and specialists who offer leisure time activities, or children and youth organisations. A total of 20 interviews were conducted with hearing-impaired children, 3 interviews with school staff and the staff of the Special Education Centre for Hearing-Impaired People, 1 interview with the interpreter from the Basic Deaf Organisation, and 9 interviews with the staff of the organisations that offer leisure time activities. The research results show that children who do not depend on communication using the sign language spend their leisure time similar to their intact peers. Further it was determined that no specific afternoon club is available for hearing-impaired children in České Budějovice, but none of the approached organisations offering leisure time activities resist to work with such handicapped children. The gathered knowledge can inspire parents of hearing-impaired children to improve how their children spend leisure time. The knowledge could also be used by organisations and institutions that offer leisure time activities.

The current state and prospects for sustainable development of tourism in Slovakia.
Libantová, Silvia ; Indrová, Jarmila (advisor) ; Chaloupka, Radek (referee)
Tourism contributes to the prosperity of destinations by bringing financial resources, new jobs, a higher level of services and infrastructure development. However, if tourism does not develop sustainably, it is accompanied by negative factors, as well. Especially, negative impacts on the environment, such as: water and soil contamination, increased noise and overcrowded destination during the high season. As a response to the worsening state of the environment and possible irreversible changes caused by irresponsible human behavior, the idea of sustainable development is becoming more important. The theoretical part describes tourism in the Slovak Republic and highlights plans for sustainable tourism development. In the practical part, the results of the questionnaire, related to the awareness of sustainable tourism in the Slovak Republic, are evaluated. The main objective of this thesis is to evaluate the current situation in the field of sustainable tourism and to make suggestions for its future development.

ELECTRON BEAM REMELTING OF PLASMA SPRAYED ALUMINA COATINGS
Matějíček, Jiří ; Veverka, J. ; Čížek, J. ; Kouřil, J.
Plasma sprayed alumina coatings find numerous applications in various fields, where they enhance the properties of the base material. Examples include thermal barriers, wear resistance, electrical insulation, and diffusion and corrosion barriers. A typical structure of plasma sprayed coatings, containing a multitude of voids and imperfectly bonded interfaces, gives them unique properties - particularly low thermal conductivity, high strain tolerance, etc. However, for certain applications such as permeation barriers or wear resistance, these voids may be detrimental.\nThis paper reports on the first experiments with remelting of plasma sprayed alumina coatings by electron beam technology, with the purpose of densifying the coatings and thereby eliminating the voids. Throughout the study, several parameters of the e-beam device were varied - beam current, traverse velocity and number of passes. The treated coatings were observed by light and electron microscopy and the thickness, structure and surface morphology of the remelted layer were determined and correlated with the process parameters. Based on the first series of experiments, the e-beam settings leading to dense and smooth remelted layer of sufficient thickness were obtained. In this layer, a change of phase composition and a marked increase in hardness were observed.\n
