PROBLEMS OF ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION WITH FOCUS ON YOUTH
MAJEROVÁ, Aneta
The topic of this bachelor thesis is ?Problems of electronic communication with focus on youth. ? Electronic communication is today presented by information technology communication (ITC), whose rapid development in recent years led to great changes in ways of human communication. ICT include PC, e-mail, cell phone, internet, electronic data exchange or online shopping etc. Apart from many indisputable advantages we also need to perceive many risky phenomenon brought by ICT. Special focus is needed to be given to the part of population most endangered by these risks ? children and teenagers. Bachelor thesis is divided into theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part presents summary of information about the present state of this topic. The content of the present state is electronic communication in general, its progress and it?s modern forms, in conclusion there are specificity and risks of using electronic ways of communication by youth defined. The practical part is determined by partial aims of research and hypothesis set in advance. The partial aims are chosen in sequence to the main aim of the thesis. The main aim of the thesis is to define problems and possible hazards of electronic communication within its recent trends with focus on youth. The research was done quantitatively by method of asking by anonymous questionnaire. Part of questions of my questionnaire was used before in Uwe Buermann?s questionnaire, therefore following interpretation included not only comparison of theoretical knowledge with outcomes of my own research, but mostly comparison of my outcomes with selected outcomes of Uwe Buermann. Interpretation is set in chapter Discussion. In conclusion of thesis I generally review the most important outcomes of research and suggest proceeding which would lessen riskiness of some phenomenoms on the internet. I give there also possible contributions of my thesis.

Carbon footprint of computers in the computer class at VSE
Kovařík, Lukáš ; Gála, Libor (advisor) ; Basl, Josef (referee)
This bachelor's thesis is about carbon footprint. It looks into assessing of carbon footprint. Theoretical knowledge is applied afterwards in a case study. Main goal is assessing of carbon footprint of computers that are located in computer class. The first part is about definition of carbon footprint. Then there are presented three different points of view of carbon footprinting. There is a part focused on software solutions that helps companies monitor their carbon footprint as well. Second part of this thesis includes the case study that is focused on assessing of carbon footprint in the area of information and communications technology. There is an analysis of activities and processes that computers in class are involved into. Then the consumption of electric energy is measured. On its basis the size of carbon footprint is calculated. The result offers the estimation of University of Economics' size of carbon footprint that is suitable indicator in the context of environment protection.

The Importance of Information Communications Technology for Pupils and Students with a Visual Disability in the Educational Process
PRÁZDNÁ, Radka
My dissertation thesis deals with information and communication technologies in the context of education and their impact on the subsequent quality of life of individuals with sight impairment. The work shows that it appears essential to provide pupils and students with impaired sight not only with the standard volume of knowledge, but also with specific and social skills and competences which will become a tool compensating their impaired sight handicap. The objective of the practical section of my thesis consists in determining the specifics of the process of instruction of pupils and students with sight impairment focussed on information technologies and in comparing the acquired data with research results aimed at the majority population of pupils and students. The said issues were analysed using the quantitative procedure of questionnaire research and evaluated under the application of frequency statistics. The testing of hypotheses was based on the Chi-square independence test. The research also incorporated the target group of parents of pupils with sight impairment and their teachers. Significant factors affecting the optimisation of the education and instruction process as a whole in the above mentioned target groups were determined and compared. Based on the acquired data and their statistic evaluation I succeeded to prove a significant correlation between the level of acquired competences in the field of information and communication technologies and the level of sight impairment. The results of the empiric section also suggest that the education of students with impaired sight within the mainstream educational process shows considerable reserves as compared with the educational process applied in special schools for pupils with a health handicap. The theoretical section of my thesis is divided into three chapters focussed on the conceptual and material specification and definition of the problem. The introductory chapter deals with the theoretical issues of sight impairment and the individuals with this type of handicap. The second chapter presents the system of the education of pupils and students with impaired sight and the concluding chapter deals with information and communication technologies as the tools compensating the information deficit in individuals with sight impairment. In co-operation with the Special Educational Centre based in České Budějovice, the results of my dissertation thesis will present the basis of recommendations targeted at an optimised formation of specific skills and competences in pupils with impaired sight educated within the mainstream educational process. The theoretical output of my thesis will result in study materials for the branch of specific educational studies in the Faculty of Health Care and Social Studies of the University of South Bohemia.
