How to Prepare a Stage Game for the Integrated Group of Children
Kleinová, Jana ; Ortová, Marie (advisor) ; Růžička, Vít (referee)
In this seminar I give examples of how to prepare a summer camp for integrated groups of children. There are three parts. In the first part you can find general information on how to prepare a summer camp, more specific information being in the section on specialized literature. The second part deals with the special needs of handicapped children, how to build a suitable environment to meet their physical and mental development needs, which will allow for growth and expression, as well as for non- handicapped children, and allow for friendship and positive interaction between handicapped and non- handicapped children. In the third and main part of this seminar, I describe, day by day, a multi-stage game for integrated groups of children. In this game handicapped children can show their abilities, knowledge, and are given the chance to gain self-confidence. To children without handicaps the game brings knowledge of handicapped children's lives, and helps to develop understanding. Also, it focuses on the physical development of the children, and helps build awareness of life in their country. This helps to decrease the distance between handicapped people and the rest of society. Public attitudes towards people with handicaps are full of misunderstanding and apathy. The purpose of integrated summer camp is...

Culture and nature in the chinese tradition and today
Krámská, Pavlína ; Uherek, Zdeněk (referee) ; Ortová, Jitka (advisor)
Tato diplomová práce se zaměřuje na určité rysy čínského způsobu života, které se dotýkají životního prostředí a vnímání přírody jako takové. Práce rozebírá problematiku čínských kulturních tradic i způsob života současného čínského obyvatelstva. Vedle studia relevantní odborné literatury je doplněna o konkrétní empirické poznatky získané během studijního pobytu v Čínské lidové republice. První dlouhodobý pobyt v Číně se uskutečnil v období od září 2003 do srpna 2004. Druhý krátkodobý pobyt proběhl od května do srpna 2005. Během této doby jsem měla možnost poznat řadu oblastí jak na severu Číny, tak na jihu. Nejblíže jsem se však seznámila s životem lidí na severozápadu Číny, který patří k nejchudším a nejméně rozvinutým regionům. Díky svým čínským přátelům jsem strávila určitou dobu přímo v čínských rodinách ve městě i na vesnici. Byla jsem vtažena do jejich každodenního života a prožívala jsem s nimi sváteční chvíle i některé obřady. Právě setkání se všedním životem obyčejných lidí a pohled na neutěšený stav životního prostředí, které stály v příkrém rozporu s tradičně zdůrazňovanou vnímavostí Číňanů k přírodě, se staly podnětem pro hlubší zkoumání vztahu přírody a čínské kultury. Pro bližší porozumění čínské kultuře se tato studie opírá jak o čínskou terminologii, tak o kulturo logické teorie kulturního...

Japanese American experience in the works of Nisei authors
Dušáková, Hana ; Kolinská, Klára (referee) ; Nováková, Soňa (advisor)
Presenting this diploma thesis as a general overview of one group of writers, perhaps only a few words would suffice for the explication of my choice. Putting aside any emotional or personal involvement of mine in this topic, which stems from my ongoing interest in Japanese culture and the study of this language, I regard Japanese Americans and the literature they produced as unique in several respects. Considering their often contradictory reception and the turbulent historical shifts they were subjected to, one has to view this group as a generation of paradoxes. Being born in America, yet all their lives contending with the label of "exotic" or "oriental," struggling to conform, but only to discover that this effort (if it brought them closer to their peers) distanced them from their immigrant parents, writing literature in a language that was usually not their original mother tongue. These are attributes and dilemmas that would pertain probably to any recent group of immigrants to the United States. But what singles out the Japanese American experience among the countless other immigrant histories, is their collective experience in the years 1942-1944, when the nation they long aspired to be a part of suddenly crushed these hopes in the wake of the Pearl Harbor attack by considering them an enemy and...

Error in Descartes' philosophy
Klinka, Tomáš ; Hill, James (referee) ; Palkoska, Jan (advisor)
The present work analyses the theory of error of René Descartes, mainly in the context of his Fourth Meditation. This analyze begins with the exposition of the Descartes' theory of judgment and his notions of understanding and volition. The main question is the following: Is Descartes' theory of error valid, even if we consider all the objections of Descartes' critics? The maill objection is: in the explication of error during our judgment as a result of interaction between a limited understanding and an unlimited human will, we have to consider us capable do decide at will what we believe and what we don't, which is not an intuitive position. But this work suggests that this non-intuitive position is sustainable, if we abandon the "strong" version of Descartes' voluntarism, in which the will influences our believes directly, and we see Descartes' theory of error as using the "milder" version of voluntarism (called here "attention" voluntarism), in which the will influence us indirectly, by forcing our attention in the needed way. As a final conclusion, we consider Descartes' theory of error as valid.

Hemophilia in dogs and use of a dog as a model for analogous disease in human
Marvanová, Veronika ; Hofmanová, Barbora (advisor) ; Dokoupilová, Adéla (referee)
This compilation deals about hemophilia in dogs and options, how to apply findings obtained from studies on dogs to cure people. Hemophilia is suitable for research of modern healing methods, because it has been known for centuries and thanks to this its thoroughly researched. As a hereditary, sex-linked coagulation disorder, which is normally cured by replacement therapy, is hemophilia ideal model for examining the genetics determinants and nowadays it significantly helps in development of modern methods of treatment.
Hemophilia in dogs and humans is caused by gene mutation, which brings the absence or dysfunction of coagulation factor VIII or FIX. These factors in a healthy individual participates on coagulation cascade and on blood clot creation. Hemophilia mutations increase incidence of spontaneous hemorrhage, or hemorrhage after minor trauma, and patients suffer by hematomas, blood loss, dangerous internal bleeding, difficulties in movement and other related problems.
The fact, that hemophiliac dogs naturally occurs, in addition with possibility to compare them with people despite the differences in karyotype, because of binding to sex chromosome, and finally in connection with people desire to treat these dogs, just confirms that hemophilia in dogs is suitable for studying. This explain why dog models were involved in all significant discoveries in hemophilia treatment. For example, dogs assisted in development of replacement therapy with plasma and plasma concentrates, where studies confirmed safety and efficacy of these substances. Within recent years dog models enables safety transfer of gene therapy to human patients.
Thanks to these studies hemophilia possibly become the first genetically conditioned disorder, which would be permanently cured by gene therapy.

The Employment of Clients of the Halfway House
BOČANOVÁ, Marcela
This Bachelor thesis is called The Employment of Clients of the Halfway House. The theoretical part consists of three areas which describe the services of the Halfway House, the characteristics of its clients and also the possibilities of searching work. The practical part is focused on the research itself, used methodology, obtained results and discussion. The Halfway House is oriented on young people till they are 26 years old and who leave state school facilities for institutional protective upbringing once they reach a legal age. The other groups which this service is oriented on are people who are released from their sentence or from protective treatment. Last but not least, these houses are also intended for young people who suddenly find themselves in an unfavorable life situation which they are not capable to deal with on their own. The Halfway House provides accommodation at a reduced price, advisory and they also try to make the transition of their clients from institutional environment a little bit easier. During this transition, the people have to face many problems and searching for work is only one of them. Thanks to the institutional upbringing, they lack work habits, tend to be more psychically unstable and they usually have more issues with getting into new relationships. Current situation on labour market when the labour supply highly exceeds labour demand and the job offer is quite limited obviously does not benefit to the situation of these people. The aim of this thesis was to map the situation of the clients of the Halfway House and also to answer the research question what problems on the labour market these young people usually face. I chose a qualitative research to gather required data. As a methodology, I used interviewing with a usage of half-structured technique and a method of document analysis with the help of content analysis data technique. The research was performed with twelve people, four respondents were social workers from the Halfway House and other eight people were clients of these providers from whom three were unemployed. Three respondents came to these facilities from upbringing institution and the rest were from children?s home. Two respondents had only basic education, five respondents reached secondary education with certificate of apprenticeship and one respondent had a secondary education with leaving exam. The output of this research is a finding that situation of clients of the Halfway House is unfavorable at current conditions. To find a job, they use internet, job offers in magazines, personal contact with companies, acquaintances and job agencies. During the time they are unemployed, they are obliged to be registered at the Employment Office of the Czech Republic. The social worker stated that other problems the clients encounter on labour market, besides lack of work habits, unstable psyche, low communication skills, were incorporation into work society, solving of conflict situation with co-workers and high salary expectations. Clients themselves stated that the problems on labour market for them were high education expectations from the employers, complications with curriculum vitae compilation and writing of motivation letter. Two respondents also saw the problem in their ethnic membership and as a reason for their unemployment stated discrimination of a society. None of the respondents stated that was discriminated due to their institutional past. In my opinion, it is important to show the facilities like the Halfway House and social issues of young people who try to integrate themselves to a normal life after leaving institutional facilities because it is important to raise public awareness regarding this topic. This thesis can serve as a study material for students of social-law branches and also as a feedback for social worker of the Halfway House.

Human capital requirements in terms off the structural changes in the Czech Republic economy
Grušáková, Markéta ; Lapáček, Michal (advisor) ; Vostrovská, Zdenka (referee)
Nowadays there has been a great public and economic discussion about recent dynamics in the labour market in the Czech Republic. We enjoy a significant decrease in the rate of unemployment, some branches of the czech economy suffer from a qualified labour power deficiency. There are signals that educational and professional structure of unemplyed people do not meet the employers' demand for qualified workers. In the first, theoretic, part I classify sectors, branches and professions together with educational levels. I describe the theoretical backround of structural changes in the economy and its effects on the labour market. I focus also on an active employment policy. The second, practical, part examines how the educational level and qualiffication influence a possibility to acquire a job in The Czech Republic. I detaily focus on differences across regions in respect to acquired education. Further I analyze how former working experience influences a final decision about engaging the employee and if the current trend is to engage graduates or experienced employees. Another part of the labour market are labour offices and HR agencies. That is why I study the differences between these two institutions, especially the differences in their clientship, again in respect to acquired education. Final conclusion resulting from my findings illustrate the trends in the czech labour market according to the economic developement and continuing structural changes. Built upon my analysis I predict which occupations will enjoy a boom and which one starts to suffer a decline. Furthermore I suggest which educational branches support and which not because they produce a lot of not-engageable people.
