Wiesnerová, Daniela ; Richterová, Magdalena (advisor) ; Blažková, Veronika (referee)
I choose the topic of my bachelor's thesis on the basis of practice, personal experience and the experience of colleagues in the field. I deal with the description of the activities and risks associated with activities of social workers to achieve the goals in homes for abandoned children with school. I used a qualitative research, method of semi-structured interviews, to achieve these goals. Five social workers from these institutions in Czech Republic were willing to do the interview with me. It was found that the role of social worker is very important and diverse in its content. The social worker is an intermediary between the institution for these kids and all other related institutions. Social worker coordinates the admission of children and administratively ensures their admission, transfer and release, cooperates and mediates contact with OSPOD, CSSA, Czech police, courts, schools and medical facilities. An integral part of his job is the mediation and enabling contact with the family, neighbors, foster parents, informs them about what is happening in the facility and maintains close contact with children and informs them about their family situation appropriate to the age and mental abilities of the child.

Adolescents awareness on the principles of rational nutrition
BÜRGEROVÁ, Kateřina
Adolescence or maturing is a period between puberty and early adulthood. This period is very problematic, since there appears increasingly risky behaviour. Among others, risky behaviour includes incorrect nutrition or eating disorders. However, incorrect nutrition can have a very negative impact on the health of adolescents. In order to eat properly, they need however sufficient knowledge about rational nutrition. The aim of this thesis is to find out how aware adolescents are of the principles of rational nutrition. The thesis is divided into theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part describes the current state of knowledge of period of adolescence issues and rational nutrition. For the practical part, qualitative research method was chosen. The following four research questions were set for the research: RQ 1: How aware are adolescents of the principles of rational nutrition? RQ 2: Where do adolescents gain information about principles of healthy nutrition most often? RQ 3: Is the diet of adolescents aligned with nutritional recommendations for this life period? RQ 4: How aware are adolescents about eating disorders? The data were collected through semi-structured interviews, 17 adolescents aged fifteen to eighteen from the Pilsen Region participated in the interviews. They were chosen by snowball technique. The results of the research show that interviewees have good knowledge of the principles of rational nutrition, even though they do not know the term rational nutrition itself. Unfortunately, according to the findings, information seems not to be enough to make teenagers eat entirely rationally. For example, in terms of fruit and vegetable intake, their claims were consistent with the principles of rational nutrition, but they still consume less than the recommended amount for their age.

At present, leisure is not only an object of interest of pedagogical and social workers but it also increasingly becoming a subject of political discussions. Creating suitable leisure conditions is no longer just a matter of family or school. In recent years, a growing tendency of interest in leisure time from the part of municipalities, regions and the state itself has been noticed, as a suitable use of leisure time can prevent negative phenomena, especially risky behaviour of young people. The main aim of the thesis is to analyse leisure activities as one of the forms of prevention of risky behaviour. The aim of the work is to evaluate the leisure activities that can effectively prevent selected forms of risky behaviour (such as the use of alcohol and narcotics and psychotropic substances and poisons, or bullying in school facilities).

Risk Behaviour from the Staffs´ Perspective of the Authority Children´s Protection.
ŠESTÁKOVÁ, Markéta
The bachelor thesis deals with the high - risk behaviour from the staffs´ perspective of the authority children´s protection. The goal of my bachelor thesis was to find out the typical forms of risky behaviour which the officials of the authority of children´s social care law most often encounter and whether the personnel authority of children´s social care law perceive eating disorders as a risky behaviour. In connection with these objectives, I have set the following hypotheses as follows: The officials of the authority of children´s social care law encounter with all nine types of risky behaviour and eating disorders are perceived by the officials of the authority of children´s social care law as a risky behaviour. For processing the data in the empirical part I have chosen the quantitative research, which proceeded with the use of questionnaire enquiry. The research sample consisted of fourteen social workers, specifically curators for children and youth operating on the authority of children´s social care law in the South Bohemian Region. The results show that the officials of children´s social care law most often encounter truancy of their clients, then bullying, cyber bullying, sexual risky behaviour and substance dependence. The responses show that risky behaviour occurs more often in extracurricular environment. The majority of responders are inclined to think of the primary prevention of risky behaviour in the education system as not sufficient. In connection with the second aim, which is focused on eating disorders, the most of the respondents said they agreed with the inclusion of eating disorders to risk-taking behaviour. For the most common eating disorder they encounter is anorexia nervosa as they marked. In their point of view is not, in the context of prevention at schools, taken sufficient account of the issue of eating disorders and the risks associated with them. Among their clients who got ill from eating disorder, most often cooperate with their families or refer to appropriate professional help. Based on these results, it should be noted that the first hypothesis with the results diverges, whereas the second hypothesis is with them in correspond. The research results could serve as an information material for the officials of the authority of children´s social care law. Furthermore, it is possible to embrace the basis for the educators working with at-risk group of pupils. They can also be beneficial for the improvement of cooperation between the school and the official of the social services or between educators in the creation of the minimum preventive programme.

The symptoms risks behavior of individuals with Asperger syndrome
TOMANOVÁ, Katarína
This bachelor thesis focuses, due to the ensuing inclusion on the current theme of social-pedagogical activities " Expressions of risky behaviour in individuals with Asperger's syndrome." The thesis is divided into 10 chapters. The first three are devoted to autistic spectrum disorders, Asperger's syndrome and risky behaviour. Other chapters are focused on the aim of the thesis, research questions and chosen methodology of survey. The goal of the thesis was to determine the extent to which individuals with Asperger's syndrome perceive the set of social norms, whether they are aware of how they are presented and if they know anything about risky behaviour, which may be committed by non-compliance with these standards. There was important to find out, what methods their parents and teachers use in order to face these difficulties. This thesis used a qualitative research technique of semi-structured interviews with individuals with Asperger's syndrome, their parents and teachers. From interviews with individuals with Asperger's syndrome is clear that they are aware of some types of risky behaviour but most standards they automatically learn rather than logically justify the correctness or incorrectness of their behaviour. Parents said that they solve risky behaviour with their children just at the moment when it occurs. Teachers emphasize teaching assistants to be an important part of the teaching team. Discussion compares the identified conclusions of the research section, that have been divided into categories, with the available literature and statement in the theoretical part. Conclusion adds that the bachelor thesis could contribute to better understanding of this topic not only for teaching staff, but also for future graduates of pedagogical disciplines.
