Keeping The Family Rituals in The 21st. Century.
DVOŘÁKOVÁ, Pavla
This bachelor thesis is focused on the topic which values are attached by families to family rituals in the 21st century and which rituals they try to keep. In the first half of the theoretical part there are some definitions and explanations of some important terms related to rituals, traditions and their importance in people´s life. The second half of the theoretical part deals with a family: different types of families, history and evolution of family lives by Lawrence Stone. Then I deal with the sorting of transition rituals by Gennep. The sorting of family rituals and rituals done during a day is also an integral part of the theory. In the category of calendric rituals some symbols of the most important holidays in the year (such as Christmas and Easter) are chosen and described. The last part contains some extinct and new rituals - e.g. the 1st May, Valentine's Day, All Souls Day and Halloween are included. The second part of the thesis contains the practical part. The aim of the thesis, which is given at the beginning, is to find out, which traditions are handed down from generation to generation in contemporary society, if they are kept, which traditions disappeared and which have come into existence. Furthermore, I deal with the importance of rituals in contemporary families and with describing a form and use of daily and annual rituals. The aim of the work includes this research question: How important are family rituals and traditions in contemporary families? A qualitative research method of semi-structured interview was used in this research. The respondents were chosen by free choice. There were 10 interviewed families, each family differed in parents´ education. The first part consisted of families, whose members have a university degree and in the second part people are apprenticed. All interviewers were asked the same number of questions on a specific topic. At the beginning of the interview, respondents were informed about the research process and the result of the use of the data for the research. Interviews were conducted in a period of two months. One interview lasted during 30-60 minutes, when individual responses were recorded on paper and then transcribed and inserted into Annex. The interviews were held in places that respondents identified themselves, always in natural environment where they felt comfortable and were able to talk about their privacy. Topics containing the interview were divided into 7 categories: basic information, family rituals, family memories, religion and belief, Easter, Christmas, new and extinct rituals. Similarities and differences were identified after a careful study and a comparison. The results of the survey reveal that the families having a university degree attach great importance to family rituals, which means to spend time together, then time of contentment, peace and love. Compared to respondents with apprentice who do not attach much value to family rituals, even if that means to them: evenings spent together, warmth, shared holiday celebrations and holidays. An important aspect of a respect for family rituals is an established order in a family, but that is reflected by employment of parents. Due to time utilization family rituals are also limited in individual families. This research also confirmed compliance with the various traditions that can bring out the original families, mostly at Easter and Christmas. But traditions associated with areligion are reduced. This society refuses the introduction of new rituals to a family and still prefers the traditional customs. This work should aim to identify the values and importance of Czech traditions in a contemporary family, when through the hectic time we do not have time to stop and spend a quiet day with a family. This fact is closely related to problems of family background and family cohesion.

Specific nutriton as a means of own self-creation of human pesonality - athletes. Case Study
TEPLÁ, Kateřina
Modern times bring a number of new views on the perception of the meaning and role of nutrition in human life. Observing the current lifestyle we can see considerable differences in particular individuals. This work deals with the problem of specific nutrition in connection with a regular sport activity as contributory factors which create the lifestyle of a sportsperson. This work concentrates on the individual for whom the strict and specifically focused nutrition in connection with a regular sports activity creates an inherent part of their life and is therefore the way to fulfillment ? to self-assembly in numerous directions. The goal of this work was to describe the composition of diet and its changes connected to different stages of a sportsman´s ? body-builder´s training plan. To map possible bio.psycho-social consequences. For the implementation of this research a qualitative research strategy was chosen. The research was carried out as a case study. The reference file has been made of a couple of sportspeople-body-builders. A woman and a man representing the current trend of fitness ? body-building followers for whom the connection of sport and well-focused nutrition represents one of their life´s values. The research was implemented in a wider timeframe, in a frame from May 2012 to January 2013. Semi-structured interviews, observation, evidence of different personal documents and activity results were used as data collecting methods. For the data analysis a qualitative analysis of written-down interviews, observations and personal documents, and activity results was carried out. From the conducted research of the particular case it was further found out that the nutrition of a body-builder changes during the different stages of the training preparation, even in rapid ways. Changes of the total amount of food, the change of the ratio or amounts of particular nutrients as well as changes in the choice of consumed food are observable. The observed changes of the sportspeople´s eating correspond with the theoretical knowledge given in the theoretical part of this work. At the bulk stage of this work the eating of the observed couple was characterized by a relatively high intake of energy, especially as the permanently higher intake of carbohydrates, a high intake of proteins and out of all the stages by the highest demanded feed of fat. In the cutting phase of the preparation the food of the observed couple was characterized, on the average, by a lower intake of energy, especially thanks to the limitation of the intake of carbohydrates, by the same or higher amount of proteins than at the bulk stage. The intake of fat in the man´s food basically didn´t change, but the woman decreased the amount of received fat compared to the bulk stage. At the final stage of the preparation the food of the woman was absolutely specific. During the resting and recovery phase of the preparation the eating of the observed couple did not show any strictly given requirements. Out of the research results it is clear that the sportspeople´s approach to food is varied, it differs according to the phase of training preparation. Food can be therefore either an enjoyment or the need to a sportsperson. For the observed couple, food isn´t a taboo. This specific and to some extent extreme lifestyle brings certain positives and certain risks with it. This work can be used as an information material for nutrition therapists focused on working with sportspeople, and for informing sportspeople themselves as well as the wider society about the possibilities of the effects of extremes in nutrition.

Social work with Roma people minority is specific, big demands regarding various differences of their target group are placed on employees. Nevertheless social work with Gypsy minority is important not only for the clients themselves but due to its impacts and results it affects everybody. In spite of that employees sometimes face misunderstanding, astonishment and surprise of public, in some cases even condemnation of their work. Some important themes regarding social work with clients of the target Roma people minority are summarised in the theoretical part of the thesis. Besides definition of some terms there are described factors and problems of Roma people being the most frequent clients of social services. In particular the reasons are unemployment, debts, impossibility to find convenient living, bad health condition and especially total social exclusion of this group of people. Here are also described models, approaches and types of social work related to the Roma people minority clients the most. The target of the thesis was to analyse subjective feelings and moods of employees, to obtain information about specific positive and negative reactions regarding their work not only on part of their clients but wide public and especially to find out how they perceive these exposures. Further it was mapping of their possible other problems but also reflexion of what they like the most at their work and on the contrary some factor making their work unpleasant.The research was carried out using several methodology procedures of qualitative strategy ? questioning method, semi-structured interview technique but also participant observation. It resulted from the obtained knowledge that the addressed employees face both positive and negative reactions on part of the clients as well as wide public. From the summary of respondents? answers it resulted that the importance of their work is in their opinion marginalised and their job is not appreciated as it should be in their opinion.

Current social networks as a tool for resocialisation of handicapped people
KOLÁŘOVÁ, Tereza
It might happen to any of us at any time to have a direct experience of rehabilitation of persons with disabilities. As a result of a serious illness or an injury, a person might not be able to continue in the way of life to which they have been accustomed. It is very important for such person not to remain isolated, but rather to try to reintegrate into society. This thesis aims to determine the effect that being a member of a social network has on persons with physical disabilities. It focuses on the areas of health, social integration, and work as well as education. Further, the thesis tries to answer the question what people with disabilities perceive as the greatest benefit of being a member of a social network. To my research, I chose a qualitative approach; I collected data through semi-structured interviews which I had previously prepared a set of guiding questions for. The procedure was completed by a non-standardized observation technique, which was done secretly without any direct involvement from my side. The sample consisted of 15 persons with disabilities who are currently users of social networks. They were selected based on my judgment and their willingness to participate. The results of my research are presented in the form of case studies; the most important data immediately related to the main objectives of my thesis were also evaluated by simple enumeration technique. What emerged from the research is that being a member of a social network has a positive impact on rehabilitation of persons with disabilities. It may help them improve or compensate for their health situation, prevent social isolation, find suitable jobs, as well as raise their awareness about the opportunities for further education and retraining. People with disabilities perceive mediation of continuous contact with the outside world as the largest benefits of membership in social networks.

Effect of milking with an automatic milking system on selected incides of cattle welfare
PROVAZNÍKOVÁ, Iveta
The aim of my bachelor thesis was to evaluace the welfar of dairy cows. They are loosely housed and milked by robot. The main indicators were total time spent by cows in the robot and information about the movement of cows after leaving the milking box. The next step was to evaluate a time needed to prepare a dairy cow from entrance into the robot to a successful use of teat handpiece. Of course it was necessary to evaluate effects of stress on selected blood parameters. We can give us an idea of welfare using this loosely housing based on these observation. Next reason is the posibility of free decision in which intervals during the day the cows will be milked. Measured and monitored values were collected by observing dairy cows and precise records of their activities from entrance into the robot. In thirty minutes after leaving the robot it was recorded the movement of animals in housing and then satisfying their physiological needs, rating, drinking and lying down. The measurment was realized in standard operating conditions for 24 hours. The measurment was realized by all milked cows in the herd. Time information of ongoing operations and daily milk production were taken from the milking robot Lely Astronaut. Results of these measurements were evaluated by Microsoft Excel, Statistica 9 and then compared with total performance. Information of stress in all ways of milking were getting from the experimental work of VFU Brno. The observations didn´t show any serious problems in welfare area. Animals were calm and satisfied all the time of evaluating. Milking was carried out without any problems and dairy cows entered discipline into the box of robot. Only five cows (6 % of milked cows) had to be chasing with the help of zootechnician. But in the most of cases we talk about heifers and they have to adapt. During the observation it was detected 147 milking at 58 dairy cows. In diametr that was 2,54 milking per one cow. With the average yield 14,87 kg it means, that the average daily performance of one dairy cow was 37,8 kg of milk. The preparation for milking lasted about 2 minutes and 25 seconds. The time of actual milking was average 6 minutes. After milking 83,7 % of the monitored cows sought food and only 6,8 % of monitored cows lay down. The average daily yield significantly increased in the cows, these are milked three times a day, which means 31 % growth. The activity curve of diary cows in the chart showed strong willingness of dairy cows to work with the milking robot. Cortisone in the blood serum showed no values over the limit.

The migration of the Slovak Romani to the Czech lands after 1945: case study - the settlement of the Romani in Rokycany between 1945-1952
Šebová, Barbora ; Závodská, Milada (advisor) ; Červenka, Jan (referee)
Napsat bakalářskou práci na téma poválečné migrace Romů do českých zemí mi navrhla paní doc. Milena Hübschmannová, Csc. při svých přednáškách o historii Romů. Když mluvila o válce a poválečné historii, několikrát vyslovila přání, aby někdo zachycením a analýzou vzpomínek pamětníků - tedy za pomoci využití metody orální historie - zpracoval tento úsek historie podrobněji. Aby tím, že popíše detaily ze života lidí, kterých se poválečný přesun do českých zemí týkal, umožnil člověku, žijícímu v dnešní době, alespoň částečně pochopit motivy tehdejších migrantů a jejich příčiny. Proto se ve své práci vedle zkoumání odborné literatury, na jejímž základě je formulována obecná teoretická část, zaměřuji především na rozhovory s pamětníky a práci s dobovými dokumenty. Rozhovory s pamětníky umožňují popsat, jak migrace probíhala v rámci jednotlivých rodin a rodů a jak ji vnímali samotní Romové. Dobové dokumenty zase umožňují získat informace o tom, jak k romským pracovníkům přistupovaly jednotlivé průmyslové a zemědělské podniky a jaký pro ně měli Romové význam. Mým cílem je poukázat v případové studii1 Rokycan na to, že mnoho Romů přišlo po válce do českých zemí na základě výzev v médiích nebo bylo do jednotlivých podniků přímo nabráno náboráři, a že poválečná romská migrace nebyla pouze "spontánní" a "hromadná" 2,...

The meaning of time and space in the migration process. The experience of two generations of Czechs living in Berlin
Jansová, Lenka ; Grygar, Jakub (advisor) ; Mlynář, Jakub (referee)
(in English): This paper is concerned with the interrelation among social structures and individual agency in the migration process. Aim of the thesis is to contextually explain motivations and strategies of two Czech generations who migrated to Berlin. It focuses on generation of Czechs who left homeland between 1968-1989 and migration generation who moved after the accession of The Czech Republic to the European Union. The accent put on the time(s) and place(s) in the migration process enables to compare generations, and is the key to understanding interaction of structures and agency. Theoretical and methodological framework is formed by the concept of the theory of practices from Karen O'Reilly (2012), to interpret the meaning of the time(s) the life course perspective was used, the meaning of place(s) was interpreted by the concept of migration networks and transnationalism. The core of the empirical part is analysis of ethnographic material concerning notes from participant observation and narrative in-depth interviews with biographical elements (micro-level). The interpretation of motivations and strategies of the migration as well as social ties and practice is set in broader structures and events context i.e. historical and geographic relationship between the countries and the political...

Communication Taboo in the Family
Michalíková, Klára ; Rampouchová, Jaroslava (advisor) ; Krahulcová, Beáta (referee)
In the preface of this work I talking about quality of our life. Work on the assumption life should be lived as good as possible. We can't do this without understanding who we are? What we are feeling? What we need? What our neighbour need? What they are feeling? It's obvious, our family formed us in the most sensitive period of our life. We are without experiences, vulnerable. We will formed our children in the same way. I show the taboo from the many views and positions. Taboo is unremitting and still changing component of our lifes. The separation taboo from natural keeping secrets - privacy is very important. I used taboo as an affect negatively instrument in family communication. Taboo can interrupt the family communication.
