Social relations and social role arising from them in the school group from the point of view of educators.
ŠTYXOVÁ, Monika
The thesis deals with social relationships in the school group from the perspective of educators and on the roles that arise due to these relationships. That is, whether the educators realize that the school group is a space for interactions between children. The theoretical part focuses on chapters from social psychology related to the topic of this thesis. It also describes the field of leisure pedagogy, characterizes individual school facilities for non-formal education and educators of the school group. The practical part is devoted to interviews that were conducted with five educators from three different primary schools and it also briefly comments on the interview with two children attending one of the school groups. A question about the formality of the interviews arose during the interviews, thus the practical part also touches upon the comparison of the impact of the environment in which the interview takes place or the length of the respondent's practice. The findings show that all the educators that were questioned by the author of this thesis are aware that the school group is an environment for children's interactions, where children establish relationships and try different roles. However, not all of them can apply this knowledge to their praxis.

The Process of Recruiting Clients to the Nursing Home.
ZADRAŽILOVÁ, Andrea
The bachelor thesis is focused on the process of admitting applicants to a home for the elderly. As our population ages, people are focusing more on the quality provided in social services. When we look at the statistics, the number of people waiting to be placed in a home for the elderly is inexhaustible and the waiting time is endless for some. That is why I focused on the process of admitting applicants to a home for the elderly. The aim of my work was to find out whether it is possible to simplify or speed up the whole process in some way. The work is divided into two parts, theoretical and practical. In the theoretical part, I focus on the process of aging itself, the relationship between the family and the elderly and related homes for the elderly. In the chapter on homes for the elderly, I deal with the quality standards of social services, (which must be followed), and the process of admitting new applicants to a home for the elderly. In the practical part, the main research question concerning the admission of applicants to a home for the elderly was answered, a qualitative research strategy, a questioning method and a semi-structured interview technique were used. Interviews were conducted with six informants in the Home for the Elderly Chýnov. The result of my bachelor's thesis is that unfortunately the level of bureaucracy involved in the admission process cannot be simplified, after all, the process of admitting applicants to a home for the elderly is relatively quick. It is a lengthy process for the facility staff, but for the given elderly it is their last big change in their life. In the end, my informants and I came to the conclusion that the way it is currently set up is working, so why change it. On the other hand, the construction of new social services facilities would not be a bad idea.

Social Work in a Nursing Home
MERTLOVÁ, Šárka
The bachelor's thesis deals with social work in a home for the elderly and a person of a social worker. As the population gets older, increasing demands are still placed on supply and the provision of quality social services. These bring with them increased requirements for the provision of quality and educated staff. Great demands are placed firstly on social workers, who must manage all the administration and at the same time have to provide seniors with such conditions thanks to which they will remain as self-sufficient as possible. In the theoretical part, important terms related to the topic of the bachelor thesis were defined. In the practical part, two main research questions concerning the roles and activities of a social worker and the specifics of social work in a home for the elderly were answered. To obtain the results, a qualitative research strategy, a method of questioning and a semi-structured interview technique were chosen. Interviews were conducted with social workers who work in this position in homes for the elderly in the Klatovy district. The results of the research show above all the number of diverse activities that social workers perform in a home for the elderly. These activities begin with talks with the person interested in the service and end with the closing of the client's file. There is a large scale of roles mingling in the activities. In the opinion of social workers, the role of administrator, which is often done to the exclusion of time for direct work with clients, prevails the most. This is considered by social workers to be the main limiting factor of social work together with difficult communication with sensory impaired clients. Another factor is the fact that some clients´ requirements in the home cannot be set individually as clients would demand. The research showed that the respondents saw the possibility of providing quality social work, especially in lifelong learning and professional growth, which are necessary prerequisites for the performance of their profession.

The role of a social worker in the protection of human rights
REMEŠOVÁ, Lenka
The main aim of this bachelor thesis is to find out the role of a social worker defending human rights from the perspective of a team leader, and from the perspective of social workers. I am going to compare the differences between the team leader and social workers´ perspectives. I am also going to find out how the social worker's role changes within the context of the provided service. This bachelor thesis is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. In the theoretical part there are laws protecting human rights, an explanation of the term "role" from a social work's prospective, and also a definition of the term "social work" and basic terms connected with it. In the practical part of the bachelor thesis I have chosen qualitative research. I collected the data via a half-structured interview with 4 bosses of organisations providing social services and with 6 social workers from these facilities. The different amounts are caused by the fact that in some of the facilities I interviewed only social workers because the leaders were busy. One of the leaders work also like social worker, but in the research, he is considered like a leader. I also decided to talk to workers providing the service of social care, prevention and consulting. In the conclusion not only the difference of a social worker and team leader's and between social workers perspective of human rights will be visible, but also differences in various social services. The results have shown that the social worker is allowed to take many roles and is on the edge between helping and controlling the clients while protecting human rights. These roles were different in other social services and the emphasis at the importance of specific human rights was different as well. The conformity was proved by the social workers and team leaders from identical services. The results of my work may be useful for the public expansion of knowledge of human rights problematic in social work. It can show variety of provided social services in the Czech Republic as well. It can provide view on the role of the social worker while protecting human rights in the context of different types and forms of provided social services to professional public.

Nurse roles on department of children psychiatry
BRYCHTOVÁ, Barbora
Current state of affairs This diploma thesis deals with the roles of a nurse in child inpatient psychiatry, how the roles are perceived by the nurses themselves, how they are perceived by their pediatric patients and how much these views differ. Objectives of the work Two research goals were set in this paper. Objective 1: To find out how the nurses' roles in the department of child psychiatry are perceived by the nurses themselves. Objective 2: To find out how the roles of a nurse in the department of child psychiatry are perceived by child patients. The methodology During the implementation of the research survey for this diploma thesis, a qualitative research survey in the form of a semi-structured interview was used. The interviews were recorded on a dictaphone, transcripts were created and these were then keyed. The sample group consisted of a total of 12 nurses and 10 patients. The entire research was carried out in the Children's Psychiatric Hospital. Results The obtained data were divided into a group of nurses and a group of patients. Three categories were determined in each of these groups, within which subcategories were created. It was found that nurses and patients have a clear idea of the ideal nurse working in child psychiatry, but they only partially agree. The roles of the nurse were perceived significantly differently when comparing the interviews of nurses and patients. The conclusion The research shows that there is a conflict in the perception of the roles of nurses in the perspective of nurses and their pediatric patients. Nurses perceive their roles positively, while patients perceive their roles they perceive them rather negatively. This conflict can be a major obstacle to providing sensitive care to pedopsychiatric patients.

Possible Uses of Camp in Interpretation of Czech Contemporary Cultural Background
DEMETER, Peter
Proposed dissertation is focusing on specific eccentric aesthetics based on hyperboles, ambivalent meanings and ironic attitude, which in Anglo-American background is so called camp derived from French. Camp origin can be found on the court of Louis XIV, where we can notice passionate tries to cultivate affected court-style culminating in baroque metaphor of the world as a theatre. Due to impact of modernity and postmodernity, scope of the camp extended to various cultural spheres and phenomenon began to corelate through its eccentricity with common marginality, respectively with something what is different from "normality" and "genuineness" also settled schemes of perception or ways of historical reflection. Goal of proposed dissertation is based on theoretical-historical interpretations to trace mentions of camp (mainly in literature) with focus on Czech background, where its rich interpretational potential can clarify most of social-cultural tendencies.

Classroom climate at a primary school
Lexová, Dagmar ; Hejlová, Helena (advisor) ; Poche Kargerová, Jana (referee)
The thesis deals with the class atmosphere in the 4th year of primary school. The topic is the transformation of a negative class atmosphere into a positive one. The aim was to find methods and forms of working with the class to improve the atmosphere in the class. In the theoretical part of the thesis we deal with the topics of a school class, the atmosphere in the school and in the class, indiscipline in the class, and the teacher's care for the atmosphere in the class, which is related to the addressed problem in the class. The practical part of the thesis is action teaching research. The aim of the action teaching research was to assess the specifics of the 4th year in terms of nurturing the classroom atmosphere, particularly when a negative class atmosphere arises. Through active teaching research, which included observations by the teacher, consultations with experts, and diagnostics of the class using a questionnaire titled "Our Class", the problem in the specific class was resolved and the objective of the thesis was fulfilled. Specific methods leading to an improvement of the situation in the class are described in the practical part. I believe that these methods are generally applicable and can be used in practice by other teachers, and not only those who are starting their career.

The Roles of Foreign Fighters in Insurgencies: A Typology
Klein, Gabriel ; Aslan, Emil (advisor) ; Laryš, Martin (referee)
The master's thesis deals with the phenomenon of foreign fighters primarily represented by contemporary jihadists. The author explores the insufficiently researched issue of participation of jihadist foreign fighters in insurgencies regarding their roles and activities in conflict zones. First, the author reviews the available academic literature on the concept of foreign fighters focusing on key definitions. Subsequently, the academic literature on seven most significant jihadist foreign-fighter mobilisations, Afghanistan (1980-1992), Bosnia (1992-1995), Somalia (1993-present), Chechnya (1994-2009), Afghanistan (2001-present), Iraq (2003-present), and Syria (2011-present), is analysed to identify patterns of similarity and difference in the jihadist foreign fighters' roles and activities. The author then introduces five distinct types of jihadist foreign fighters: 1) military and ideological leaders, field commanders; 2) foot soldiers; 3) suicide attackers; 4) support personnel; and 5) jihadist brides/wives. Each type is characterised based on the empirical evidence from the seven abovementioned cases of jihadist foreign-fighter mobilisations. Keywords Foreign Fighters, Insurgency, Jihadism, Roles, Typology Title The Roles of Foreign Fighters in Insurgencies: A Typology
