RISK BEHAVIORS AMONG ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PUPILS AND ITS PREVENTION
JÁNKOVÁ, Michaela
Risk behaviour of children and adolescents is an up-to-date issue with an upward trend. Our society tries to prevent the negative behaviour occurrence and development by implementing primary prevention measures. This thesis deals with the incidence of risk behavior in basic school pupils. It focuses on the pupils´ experience in alcohol drinking, smoking tobacco and marijuana. The theoretical part defines the basic concepts of social pathology, describes the period of puberty, selected forms of risk behavior and its prevention. The aim of this study was to survey the incidence of risk behavior ? addictive substance abuse. Another objective was to describe the methods and forms of prevention. In order to meet the purposes, in the practical part the quantitative method of data collection by means of a questionnaire survey was used. The school concerned was ZŠ Pohůrecká in České Budejovice where both the survey and the analysis of internal school documents were carried out. The results were interpreted using graphs and tables. They were also compared with some surveys from previous years. The results show an increase in addictive substance use and the still declining age of the first experience with them. In terms of alcohol drinking pupils mentioned the first use as early as at the age of 9 years and the first cigarette at the age of 10 years. What I consider alarming is pupils´ high experience in drunkenness. The research also shows a high availability of tobacco products, as almost half of respondents say that they can get cigarettes easily in shops. The experience with marijuana has been proven in a quarter of pupils attending the second stage of the basic school. It was the school that was reported more frequently by pupils as the main source of prevention. The outcomes of the thesis could be used as a basis for pedagogical staff to get informed on the current occurrence of these forms of risk behavior, for teaching and a further research to be carried out to make prevention more effective.

Process of the stressed situation and the following settlement with the given fact is given through the adaptation of the living conditions, surrounding and the types of tasks in the connection with human possibilities. Mainly in the sphere of helping professions inadequate stress can appear in the participation with the emotional, psychical and physical demandingness of the adequate activity. Administrative activity, ability to treat the ill clients in the time pressure during difficult circumstances is embodied in the work of the health worker. All these demands on the worker performance of the health worker are very demanding, often very exhausting on the man´s personality.

The following hypothesis that should verify deprecation of the problems on the rescue service workplaces connected with the worker performance of the rescue worker was also verified. For the right negotiation and behaviour in the demanding life saving situations it is, according to my opinion, necessary to appeal on the maintenance of the psychical and physical balance at very health worker in the rescue services.

Prohibition of drugs in condition of their mutual substitution with other addictive substances in the Czech Republic
Vilimovský, Petr ; Běláčková, Vendula (advisor) ; Houdek, Petr (referee)
This thesis analyzes regulation, prescription and prohibition of drugs in condition of their mutual substitution with other addictive substances in the Czech Republic; thesis investigates prices' and cross-prices' elasticities of substances and their markets. Comparison is made between regulated legal markets of alcoholic beverages and cigarettes, non-prohibitively regulated markets of pharmaceuticals and prohibited markets of illegal drugs. The thesis concludes that the demand for drugs is not price elastic. The demand for drugs is price inelastic but not perfectly price inelastic, as can be deduced based on the concept of A Theory of Rational Addiction developed by Gary S. Becker. The price of drugs, therefore, to some extent affects consumption. This opens the room to influence demand through pricing mechanism. The thesis also verifies The Theory of Economic Regulation developed by George J. Stigler and confirms that due to some substitution relationships between addictive substances it is possible speculate about the interests of producers of alcoholic beverages, cigarettes and pharmaceuticals for prohibition of drugs. Interests of producers of alcoholic beverages and cigarettes confirm their mutually complementary linkages.

Selected Risk Behaviour at the Secondary Schools in the Region of Domažlice
ČERNÁ, Pavlína
The topic of this bachelor thesis is ?Selected Risky Behaviour at the Secondary Schools in the Region of Domažlice?. Risky behaviour is a phenomenon threatening societies across all cultures. Its negative consequences can be intensified even more if it occurs at the adolescent age. Healthy development of adolescents is at risk under its influence. It affects the biological, psychological and social features not only at the time when the adolescent behaves risky but also in future when the individual has to bear the consequences of such behaviour. The thesis compromises of a theoretical part, in which selected forms of risky behaviour along with the protective factors that significantly affect this type of behaviour are briefly characterized. The goals stated are defined and the research in question, including the comparison of the results ascertained with the findings of other authors that are presented in the theoretical part, is described in the practical part. The occurrence of risky behaviour cannot be entirely eliminated, however, it can be reduced at least or it is possible to postpone its beginning. Primary prevention is used for this purpose. Monitoring of risky behaviour on which the practical part of this thesis is focused can be used as one of the basic evaluation tools for prevention. The research was conducted at the secondary schools in the region of Domažlice. These were various types of schools differently orientated ? a grammar school, a business secondary school and an apprentice school. The data of the learners of these schools were gathered on a quantitative basis through questionnaire investigation. The questionnaires were distributed among the responders at schools. Great emphasis was put on anonymity of the questionnaires and assuring the responders that the questionnaires filled in by them will not get in hands of any of the close authorities. Therefore the authority was not present when the learners were filling in the questionnaires. The highest validity of data could have been ensured in this way. On the basis of the data gained the hypotheses stated before were confirmed. The goal of the research was to map the occurrence of the selected risky behaviour at the secondary schools in the region of Domažlice. Comparison of the responders? involvement in risky behaviour for boys and girls was defined as the first of the individual goals. The other individual goal was to compare the occurrence of risky behaviour at the individual types of schools. The research obviously suggests that it is not possible to comprehensively define whether it is boys or girls who behave more or less risky. It can be only said that some selected phenomena are more typical of males, others of females, occurrence of others is comparable for both of them. When observing risky behaviour at the individual types of schools, the occurrence of unwanted phenomena is significantly higher at the apprentice school compared to the other types of school. The number of adolescents behaving risky in the region of Domažlice corresponds to the average of the Republic. The results of the thesis can be used for implementation of effective primary prevention, for the needs of further researches, and, last but not least, as a theoretical framework for education in this area.

The habits of teen-agers (alcohol, drugs, smoking, gamblers,...)
SCHNEIDEROVÁ, Monika
Abstract In my thesis ``Habits of secondary school students{\crqq} (alcohol, drugs, smoking, gambling{\dots}) I dealt with the use of addictive substances by students in the 2nd year of secondary schools. The use of addictive substances by young people has become a topical issue. According to statistical data, the number of users of both legal and illegal substances has been growing every year. It is disturbing that addictive substances, such as alcohol, nicotine or illegal drugs, have been used by ever younger consumers. In the theoretical part I covered the period of adolescence, characteristic features of that period and behavior disorders that may occur. I also reviewed the individual types of drugs and their physical and mental effects on the organism. In the empirical part of the thesis my objective was to map the current situation in drug abuse at selected secondary schools in the towns of Rokycany and Tábor. The researched group consisted of 325 respondents. I used a questionnaire to investigate their family backgrounds, alcohol consumption, cigarette consumption and experience with other drugs, e.g. marihuana, hashish or ecstasy. 2 of the 3 formulated hypotheses were refuted and 1 hypothesis was confirmed. All results are shown in form of tables and diagrams. In the discussion I compared my results with other research papers dealing with the same topic. The biggest issue in the selected group of respondents was the smoking of cigarettes. According to my findings, education is a major factor in the consumption of the individual drugs. The consumption of alcohol, cigarettes and other drugs is higher among apprentices while the consumption among students of comprehensive secondary school is significantly lower.
