Diploma Thesis "Assistance of dignified life for the elderly - Social services in field" is focused on the field of social services for the elderly, which's main function is to enable seniors to remain as long as possible at home, despite difficulties with self-sufficiency and independence, leading to a better quality of life. Due to the aging of population and new trends in the way of care for the elderly, it was necessary to fundamentally change the way of this kind of care in the Czech Republic- the current requirements are quality of life, individual approach and subsidiarity. To create the background leading to providing quality services and care, there was the need to change the law. In 2007 came into force the Act 108/2006 Coll. on social services, which changed the setting of social services, their definitions, rights and responsibilities, funding, but also shifted the responsibility for providing services and quality control on the region, as well as for the availability of services. At the same time steps have been taken, which should support the market behaviour of service providers to achieve their accessibility, affordability and quality. The content of this work is to evaluate the Social Services Act in relation to European trends of care and assessment of the law, its applicability...

The position of women and "women question" in late Victorian and Edwardian society
Tumis, Stanislav ; Kovář, Martin (advisor) ; Skřivan, Aleš (referee) ; Halada, Jan (referee)
The position of women in British society at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries was influenced by the traditional conservative ideas which allocated their place in "private (domestic) sphere"; these views continued to have in Britain considerable influence and they were moreover supported by the new ideologies of social darwinism, social maternalism or eugenics. At the same time the influence of representatives of liberal, democratic ideas, the so called new people advocating women emancipation in all spheres of life largely grew. It is not possible to perceive the end of Victorian and Edwardian era as a period in which the modern ideas on women position in society succeeded; on the contrary old conservative concepts though often in new context and another "more moderate" version had the support of the majority of British society, including women. The main reason why the feminists failed to enforce their radical claims at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries lied in the fact that women movement was confined largely to the liberal elites of middle classes and failed to obtain wider support.

From failed states to failed cities? Slums and stability in urbanizing world
Eckhardt, Ivan ; Buben, Radek (advisor) ; Slačálek, Ondřej (referee)
This text aims to examine the relation between booming urbanization in the developing world on the one hand and the issue of state stability and global security on the other hand. More concretely, it tests a hypothesis that overcrowded slums inhabited by millions of slum-dwellers deprived of basic needs constitute a serious destabilizing factor for states and regions they live in. To test this hypothesis, the failed state concept is used. Both the hypotheses and the theoretical background used to test it necessitate that the whole problematic is simplified in two major ways. First, it might appear strange that the failed state concept is applied on cities. As written above, this text tests a hypothesis that slums in the developing world threaten state stability. This assumption is based on the fact that social factors typical for failed states, such as demographic pressure, unemployment, economic inequality, poverty, or poor public services are at the same time typical for social environment of slums. The text presupposes that factors proved to have destabilizing effects on a state-level should have similar effect on a city-level too. Second, regional differences need to be omitted in order to enable comparison of mega cities in different parts of the developing world. The main aim of this article is to...
