Shape variability of proximal and distal human tibia.
Brzobohatá, Hana ; Velemínská, Jana (advisor) ; Beňuš, Radoslav (referee) ; Macholán, Miloš (referee)
The aim of this study was to detect and describe the trends in shape variability of proximal and distal human tibia related to sex, age, social status and time period. The variability of its shape and form was analysed first in an early medieval sample, then in two modern populations, an early 20th century sample and the contemporary Czech population. Finally, data from the whole studied time span were analysed. The initial raw data were acquired by optical scanning and computed tomography (CT) scanning of the lower limbs; the three-dimensional bone surfaces of the contemporary tibias were segmented from the clinical CT scan sequences. Geometric morphometrics and multivariate statistical methods were applied to study the variations in shape and form quantitatively. Proximal and distal tibias were evaluated independently, and the potential influence of sex, age at death and time period were investigated. In the early medieval population, we also explored the relationship between tibial morphology and presumed social status derived from the respective grave location within the settlement. Because traditional morphometric analysis revealed statistically significant sex differences in the parameters of both tibial extremities (e.g., Steyn and Işcan, 1997; Šlaus et al., 2013), we thus assumed the...

Social status of the integrated student with Asperger syndrome in the class
Ondráčková, Kamila ; Hájková, Vanda (advisor) ; Zemková, Jaroslava (referee)
The goal of this diploma thesis is to map the issue of social integration of students with Asperger syndrome into a regular class of elementary school. The theoretical part is based on analysis of publications related to the topic. It deals with the description of the Asperger syndrome diagnosis and its symptoms, the concept of integration, mainly the integration of a student with Asperger syndrome, and the issue of classroom climate and the possibilities of its diagnostics and development. The practical part is based on the theoretical part. In it, the author focuses on the analysis of social status of integrated students with Asperger syndrome. Sociometrical techniques are combined with projective method and both are supplemented with a questionnaire for teachers and qualitative methods, primarily interviews with teachers and observation in class.

Prestige of the Profession in the Perspective of Teachers in Louny
Rudolf, Milan ; Koťa, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Tvrzová, Ivana (referee)
The thesis focuses on prestige level of occupation as a teacher, how pedagogues themselves perceive it. The results are obtained through questionnaire survey and afterwards compared with values, which are periodically gathered from the workers of Center of public opinion surveys in long term project "Our society". The comparison of gathered data should answer the question, if teacher do not perceive their occupation as prestigious as is the meaning of the wide society. Second part of the thesis brings discussions about topics, with which teacher in Louny schools are faced most. The source for this discourse are not only answers from Louny's teachers gathered during the survey, but also direct interviews. Through the analysis of frequently mentioned topics the author tries to find an answer, why the teachers in the primary schools in Louny perceive their profession as less prestigious.

Media analysis of Jan Kraus talk show with a focus on reaching
Černý, Jakub ; Šoltys, Otakar (advisor) ; Moravec, Václav (referee)
This bachelor thesis presents an analysis of the communication in the TV program "Show of Jan Kraus". In the theoretical part we define and describe the term "talk show". A list of most popular programs of this type in Czech Republic is given for comparison. This part of the work contains also a chapter on medial dialog as a specific communication situation. We describe here a confrontation style, which is typical for the medial dialog in a talk show, a role of moderator and spectators, social status of the guests and also a question of politeness, which is the mains subject of the communication analysis in this work. The practical part is divided in two chapters. In the first one the show is analysed from the general point of view. We describe its structure, medial presentation, difference to other talk shows, and all its specific features. The second chapter deals with the question of communication, especially the performance of the moderator, Jan Kraus, and his way of discussion with the guests. The thesis investigates many points of a talk performance. The main point is the politeness, or rather impoliteness. The aim of the thesis is to find out, when this happens in the speech of the moderator, and which forms of the impoliteness are mostly used.

Daneš, David ; Šanderová, Jadwiga (advisor) ; Hirschová, Marta (referee)
David Daneš Social Status Inconsistency in the Czech Republic: What does the first decade of 21st century suggest? Abstract This thesis deals with the multidimensional concept of social status and mainly with the phe- nomenon of unbalanced position at several stratification scales - social status inconsistency. The work provides a comprehensive overview of the use of this concept in foreign and subse- quently in the Czech sociology with background of interpretation of classical theoretical con- cepts and approaches to social stratification as such. Then the author's own analysis of data from the ISSP surveys is presented. Author refines existing research's results and also de- scribes the progress of the core metrics of status inconsistency in more than a decade, which for this purpose so far not been analyzed. Analysis based on the operationalisation established in the Czech sociology showed that rising trend of status consistency described by Czech au- thors in the nineties does not continue. Even the degrees of status consistency doesn't keep that level. There are two significant declines during the late nineties and around 2009, which are also decline in performance of the national economy (GDP) - the relationship of the two variables being tested. The author also deals with broader conception of status...

Socio - economic impact on self nurses
Štraubová, Kateřina ; Marsová, Jana (advisor) ; Vidovičová, Helena (referee)
This paper discusses the influence of the social and financial awards on the self-assessment of nurses. In the theoretical part I deal with explanation of terms as self-konception, self-respect, prestige and social status of the profession. Since the prestige of the profession influences besides other things historical development of professions, I have been also interested in the history of nursing. To be able to measure the economic effects of self-reflection of the nurses, I compared the amount of the financial evaluation of selected professional groups in the country. In the practical part I have found out nurses' opinion to view their financial assessment with regard to educational achievement and job description and their opinion on membership in a particular social group. I also wonder, as a general nurse assesses the media image of their profession and what is most troubling to him. I also tried to determine what is the most common motivation for general nurses to remain in their profession. For this project, I have chosen the technique of quantitative research, the method of anonymous questionnaire of my own design. Research conducted in the period from 1st October to 15th October 2011. I have distributed questionnaires in the Faculty Hospital Bulovka in Prague, Department of Radiation...

Assessed psychological characteristics of human face in depedence on socio-economical status
Linke, Lenka ; Kleisner, Karel (advisor) ; Pivoňková, Věra (referee)
Human face is a complex semantic organ, which among others reflects also human individuality due to the high variance of facial morphologies. This study examines the relationship between psychological characteristics and social status. Moreover, we have analyzed variability in facial form and its relation to a particular social rank. The study was performed on a set of photographs containing 55 pictures of men in a management position. These photographs were evaluated by 47 male (average age - 22 years) and 77 female (average age 21,6 years) respondents. The data were analyzed by means of classical methods of statistical testing as well as geometric morphometrics methods. This study tests whether there is a relation between three psychological characteristics - dominance, attractiveness, trustworthiness - and social status. The effect of perceived dominance and attractiveness on social status were not significant. Nevertheless, we found statistically significant relationship between perceived trustworthiness and social rank. We were not able to detect morphological facial structures, which would distinguish the heads of department from the chief executive directors. However the parametric tests discovered statistically significant differences between the facial morphology of a trustworthy and...
