Occurrence and prevalence of sexual harassment on Czech high schools
Sedláčková, Jana ; Pavlík, Petr (advisor) ; Linková, Marcela (referee)
The aim of my thesis is to discover how prevalent the sexual harassment by teachers at Czech secondary schools is and how students perceive such described problematic behaviour. In the theoretical section, I describe the history of origin of the term sexual harassment abroad as well as in the Czech Republic. Further, I present its definitions and Czech legislation of this phenomenon. Consequently, the readers will learn about theories of sexual harassment in the academic setting and about findings of some foreign and Czech researches recently held on this topic. Finally, the last chapter of the theoretical part is devoted to specific setting of secondary schools with emphasis on the main functions of educational institutions. I also point out consequences of adolescent students' sexual harassment. The empirical part then describes a chosen method - quantitative survey research - and its practical use. After that, the findings are presented and analyzed. Besides the overall occurrence of sexual harassment at Czech secondary schools I also focus on the comparison of this phenomenon perception between boys and girls and also among different types of Czech secondary schools.

A development of the Czech secondary generel education after World War II (1945-1989)
Bauerová, Kateřina ; Koťa, Jaroslav (referee) ; Váňová, Růžena (advisor)
I will attempt to base my work on historical facts while describing the overall situation as it was perceived then. The post-war period was a time of reconstruction both in terms of economy and morals. In the education area, the renewed Republic faced a decision whether to continue the heritage of the First Republic and its experimental schools or whether to follow new trends from abroad (mainly the USSR). At that time the Communist Party already had a strong position but it is was still only one of the parties influencing the course of events in the country. The 4-year Gymnasium (secondary school) was re-established and it became a selective institution. The first attempts to unite the education system are starting to appear. Later on, prototypes of normalized schools are being founded. There is also a pressure to make schools public. The main effort is to increase the over-all expertise of the secondary school teachers. Most reforms fail due to the lack of financial resources in the post-war state. This time period may be described as the time the education system was searching for its identity. It was the time of discussion between the heritage of the First Republic and the accession of the Communist party and its aim to establish a unified education system.

German secondary schools in Brno in 1918-1945
Rausová, Markéta ; Valenta, Josef (referee) ; Váňová, Růžena (advisor)
The paper gives an account of the German secondary education in Brno during the years 1918-1945. The secondary education, within this paper, comprises training schools for teachers and technical and business schools as well. The purpose of the paper is to give a complete overview of the German secondary education in Brno during the given period of time, in the general context of education legislation. The analysis of the schools in Brno is preceded by a brief introduction to the system of secondary education in the Czechoslovak Republic and to the question of German secondary education in the Czechoslovak Republic. The paper examines the schools in Brno from diverse points of view (number of students, their religion and mother tongue, the percentage of female students, school financing and school fees, marking, …) and aims to describe the history of the schools and the relations among them. The source materials are primarily composed of documents written in German (school annual reports, anniversary memory books, principal and class registers, chronicles) and literature on secondary education of that period (predominantly by R. Neuhöfer). The work may serve as a basis for comparative works (to be compared with the Czech secondary schools in Brno, German secondary schools in Prague, etc.).

Reader's diary and ICT - a traditional teaching method in the content of modern technologies
GRÚZ, Michael
The thesis Reader´s diary and ICT a traditional teaching method in the context of modern technologies is divided into two parts. The theoretical part deals with general principles of literature, literature reception and reader´s motivation. The attention is also paid to literary and reader´s education of children at school and in their free-time, including so-called pre-reading period as well. The main focus is on the impact of modern technologies on teaching literature and the method of a reader´s diary. The exploratory part includes outcomes of two questionnaire-based researches. The first one was designed for Czech language and literature teachers at secondary and lower level grammar schools, and its aim was to describe their attitude towards assigning, checking, evaluation and further use of readers´ diaries in literature lessons. The second questionnaire was focused on the pupils´ attitude towards assigned reading in relation to so-called online literature guide-books.

Spatial Dynamics of the Population in the Czech Republic, 1989 - 2007
Vobecká, Jana ; Fialová, Ludmila (advisor) ; Musil, Jiří (referee) ; Marty, Pascal (referee)
3 Abstract The aim of the thesis is to describe, analyse and discuss the development of spatial population dynamics in the Czech Republic between 1989 and 2007. Demographic structure and migration, the two components of spatial population dynamics, are analysed using two spatial dimensions, the urban-suburban-rural gradient and the core-periphery region distinction, using quantitative analyses, including gravity regression modelling of migration. The analysis primarily focuses on domestic migration as the main vehicle of spatial population dynamics. It discusses the structure, determinants, and temporal evolution of migration and its consequences on the population structure in different spatial categories. The thesis indicates that suburbanisation has recently become the main factor influencing Czech spatial population dynamics. The key factor determining migration destination is the social status of migrants, whereas age has only secondary importance. However, since Czechs are not very mobile, population dispersal is less large-scale than in Western-Europe. This explains why recent domestic migration patterns have had only a small measurable influence on the social or demographic structures of the population across spatial categories. Key words: suburbanisation, domestic migration, gravity modelling,...

The municipal real-gymnasium of Malá Strana in 1865-1891
Veselá, Jana ; Randák, Jan (referee) ; Hlavačka, Milan (advisor)
The paper's topíc is Czech secondary education in the second half of the 19th century. It generally follows the development of the education system in Austria and discusses the consequences of the Exner-Bonitz school reform from 1849. This reform created two main types of secondary schools: the gymnasium and the real school. As a result of theoretical debates about a single, unified sec on dary school, a new type of school emerges in the Czech lands, the so-called real-gymnasium, a combination ofboth previous types. In the 1860s, new schools are being founded in the Czech lands by the individua! municipalities who also provide the funding. The paper selects one of them, the real-gymnasium in Malá Strana, Prague, as a model example and follows its development as a mixed type of secondary school and also the economic and administrative implications of its existence and the efforts of the city council to hand it over into the hands of the state. The relationship between the city officials and the Austrian Ministry of cult and education is analysed. Methodologically, the paper also discusses the use of autobiographical fiction in literature as a source for the study of everyday life in history. Considering the participants in the school situation, the paper's focus lies on students, their social standing and...

A lawmaker for life. Czech members of the Austrian House of Peers (1879-1918) between politics and prestige
Pavlíček, Tomáš ; Galandauer, Jan (referee) ; Velek, Luboš (advisor)
The author of this paper researches a subject new to Czech historiography - that of Czech life peers in the Austrian parliament between 1879 - 1918. He attempts to do it not only on the level of archive research, but also parliamentarism (the idea, foundation and operation of the House of Peers), political strategies (nominating candidates for peers), social stratification (social classes represented), social promotion (acquiring symbolic capital), political culture (perception of politics and the position of the peers by themselves and the society), and methodology. The author asks the question of what approach to choose for the research of the peers' lifestyle and their parliamentary identities. The latter differed from the political thinking and political behaviour of the members of the lower house in the following respects: less active up to completely uninvolved parliamentary career, apolitical activity in one's own occupation, office and one's own nation, appreciation of the individual's career and his merits to the society by being awarded an order, becoming a nobleman, and gaining political power in the form of the peer's prestige. Attention is drawn to the introduction of the general, equal and direct voting rights in Cisleithania in 1906, which remarkably increased the House of Peers' political...

Antovová, Michaela ; Langhamrová, Jitka (advisor) ; Miskolczi, Martina (referee)
The thesis examines suicidality in selected countries. The main goal is to compare the level of suicidality in the Czech Republic, Sweden and Spain, and to note down identical and dissmiliar outlines. In the following part, there is compared dependence of suicides on economic indicators (gross national product per person and rate of unemployment). The highest results of gross rate of suicidality are in the Czech Republic, then in Sweden and eventually in Spain. Suicidality of men is much higher than suicidality of women. The specific rate of suicidality increases with growing age. The most used method is hanging and throttling to death. Most of suicides are commited in spring. High indirest dependece of specific rate of suicidality and gross national product per person was ascertained in all above mentioned countries. As to rate of unemployment the lower relation was ascertained only in Sweden.

Posibilities of taking the number of children raised into consideration in the pension system construction
Veselý, Václav ; Fiala, Tomáš (advisor) ; Pechholdová, Markéta (referee)
The subject of diploma thesis is the pension system in the Czech Republic. We warn about the deficit increase in the future and suggest taking the number of children raised into consideration in the pension system construction. Pension system in the Czech Republic is described in detail. The first "pay-as-you-go" pillar represents the main part of the system. It could bring financial problems (if the retirement pension and pension income tax will stay at the same level as now) considering the expected trends in demography. Population projection was calculated using cohort component method (including migration). The threshold for the projection is year 2011, projection is calculated with 100-year horizon. There were also calculated revenues and expenses of the pension system for each projected year. If the expected parameters of the projection will be realized, the deficit of pension system in the hundred year period will reach 9.5 billion Kč (prices 2011). It represents the deficit 95.3 milliard Kč each year in the average. To reduce the deficit it is possible to increase the pension tax paid by productive people. But it could also bring the decline of fertility, because lower income could make people decide to reduce number of children. It would deepen the problems in the pay-as-you-go system. The financial problem of pension system could be solved by taking the number of children raised into consideration of the pension system construction. It would eliminate the situation that it is economically more favourable to be childless during the life. It could also bring the fertility increase. In the diploma thesis the value of the deficit is simulated for the various parameters of pension system and for the various demographic development in the future.
