Motivation sources of mental health support in preadolescents - girls
MACOUNOVÁ, Iva
The bachelor thesis deals with the motivation sources supporting mental health in pre-adolescent girls. The theoretical part of the work includes findings on health as a whole and from several different points of view. An independent chapter is dedicated to the definition of the term mental health and its determiners, focusing mainly on sleep. The major part of the theoritical section of the work deals with the characteristics of pre-adolescent girls and a description of the changes in this stage of development. The research section is concerned with the results and data obtained from the intervention programme, which was created in cooperation with Eliška Šindelirová and subsequently applied to the 6th and 8th forms of primary school. The programme was aimed at mapping the state of sleeping habits among pre-adolescent girls and the subsequent motivation and support of correct sleeping habits. All the results which were possible to obtain within the frame of the entire intervention programme are presented in the research section. It was proved that pre-adolescent girls don{\crq}t follow the sleep regime appropriate to their age, but computer games are not the reason for the lower sleep quotas. Based on the results, we recomend the inclusion of the topics of sleep problems within hours of health education curriculum in primary schools.

Myšková, Lucie ; Trpišovská, Dobromila (referee) ; Kucharská, Anna (advisor)
The thesis concerns various screening procedures applied on pre-school children with regard to their readiness to the school-entry. The chapters with theoretical basis mainly examine children's abilities and skills, like reading and writing, which are thought an essential for the sake of further education. A particular attention is paid to present diagnostic and screening methods, which are aimed at mapping readiness of children for the school-entry. A method that can be in particular useful in pre-school children screening procedures is a newly created Test of school readiness. The test can be used for stopping insufficiently prepared children from entering the school. Moreover, the test is also aiding in finding a suitable way to prepare children for school; and appropriate interventions can be made upon the test results. The actual task was to consider recently prepared method with regard to its applicability and usefulness. It has been compared in the form of sub-tests to previously mentioned Test of school readiness, Orientation test of school maturity (Jirásek, 1970), Compare scheme of school ability (Kondáš, 1984). It has been confirmed that the test could be appropriately used as a screening method. However, it is necessary to adjust both subtests and several tasks within the test and further...

Masculine and feminine gender in Italian: not only grammatical category
Luhanová, Eliška ; Špaček, Jiří (advisor) ; Štichauer, Pavel (referee)
Key words: grammatical gender, nouns, language sexism, society, lingustics This work focuses on phenomenon of nomi di azione which indicate professions, occupations or titles in Italian. In this limited group of substantives exists inequity between used masculines and feminines. The crucial source of this work is an important work of Alma Sabatini Raccomandazioni per un uso non sessista della lingua italiana (1986), which consists of recommendations for more appropriate and neutral expressions. The work managed to include this topic into the public consciousness and point out to its impact for society. Practical part of the work is based on analysis of competing forms of words, which do not fit common language standards or social conventions. These forms will be examined by five italian expository dictionaries (published between 1998 and 2007) and the Italian corpus of La Repubblica. The results attempt to map current situation and confront it with the recommendations of A. Sabatini. However, the issue is beyond the linguistics area, so the concern of this work is focused also on the socio-cultural and psychological aspects, which condition the whole situation. Among those, the relative disciplines to linguistics are mentioned - politics, mass- media and education. This work does not present clear...

Genesis of the Belarussian National Identity (1863-1958)
Linitskaya, Natallia ; Štaif, Jiří (advisor) ; Pullmann, Michal (referee)
The study follows the process of the construction of belarussian national identity between the second half of the 19th and the first half of the 20th centuries in terms of community of name, language, territory and historical memories. This subjective foundation of a nation does not blend in the belarussian case with the civic model. Historical memory of Kalinovski's Uprising demonstrates the dubiousness of using a common historical past which itself corresponds with that of Russia and Poland. On the contrary, the allocating of belarussian national identity according to social demands was convinient. Unsuccesful vindication of the historical legacy of "Litva" and the failure of Belarussian to become the language of bureaucracy caused a decoupling of the genealogical bonds from the national identity. The longing of "tutejshi" for social happiness facilitated the appropriation of national identity as essentially a soviet one. Belarussians are becoming Belarussians as toiling people who are emancipated in a national state, deliniated by the colonial map. Keywords: Belarus, national identity, nationalism, national state, belorussification, «tutejshi»

Accountability of international NGOs
Staša, Michal ; Skovajsa, Marek (advisor) ; Muhič Dizdarevič, Selma (referee)
Diploma thesis concerns two current issues filling scholarly magazines in recent years. The first one is a discourse about the global civil society, its existence, definition and scope. Thesis maps the basic approaches and creates three groups of authors: globalists, skeptics and empiricists. The second issue is about the need of better accountability which arises after few scandals of global institutions in the early years of new century. The scandals didn't avoid the international non-governmental organizations. The diploma thesis summarizes few types of typologies of accountability and introduces the basic areas divided into the two groups: moral and political accountability and procedural and internal accountability. The research part of thesis comprises the accountability assessment of three branches of international non-governmental organizations: Amnesty International, Greenpeace and Hnutí DUHA - The Friends of the Earth. The goal was to find the appropriate methodology for assessing the national branches and verify it. The main result is the modification of an existing methodology of One World Trust organization and the finding that the organizations have the low rate of accountability.

The importance of the comprehensive rehabilitation system of children with a combined handicap
ČÍŽKOVÁ, Zdeňka
The bachelor work investigates the integral rehabilitation system of care for children with a severe complex handicap. A partial aim of the work was to map out this problem in the ARPIDA Centre, a.c. in České Budějovice which provides services in this field. The research proved hypothesis no. 1 which presumes that when applying an integral rehabilitation system, close cooperation between interested professionals and the parents of a handicapped child is necessary. Hypothesis no. 2 was also proved. It states that the basis for complex care of children with severe complex handicap within the integral rehabilitation system is therapeutic physical education, especially the Vojta{\crq}s reflex method. Therapy is a long term and team effort and, as proven by the research, the parents are an integral part of the team. The results of the research proved the parents´ satisfaction with the activities of ARPIDA centre, including the opportunity to cooperate with professionals working at the centre. In my opinion there is also significant room for appropriate education for parents of children with a severe handicap with regards to the difficult task of caring for their children. This work can be used as study material for those interested in work in helping professions.
