In the thesis four research questions were specified. The main question will assess what are the actual solutions to the current status of Quebec. This question is connected with three sub-questions. Will be held a referendum on Quebec independence? Does the eventual referendum have a chance of successful result?

Gypsies and Interpersonal Relations
PECHOVÁ, Jana
The topic of my Thesis is ``Gypsies and Interpersonal Relations{\crqq}. I chose this particular topic intentionally. In my opinion, even though gypsies have been a part of our society for a long time, relations between them and other citizen in the society are not on a satisfactory level. Mutual interpersonal relations between the majority society citizens and gypsies are very hot and discussed topic. The co-existence issue is analyzed not only by professionals but also by wide public. My Thesis is divided into two parts, the theoretical and the practical part. The theoretical part deals with the gypsies history, the structure of their society, a traditional gypsy family, traditional family habits, gypsy language, racism and discrimination, mutual relations between the gypsy society and other citizens, and social work with the gypsy minority. In the practical part of my thesis, I have used the method of quantitative analysis. I used two kinds of questionnaire. One of them was addressed to gypsy citizens and the other one was for the rest of the majority citizens. I have distributed 120 questionnaires among the gypsy citizens. The return was about 76 %. The other questionnaire was for the majority citizens. The return was 100 %. The goal of my Thesis was to discover reasons that lead to problems and issues between gypsies and the majority citizens. I was able to establish three assumptions. Firstly, more than half questioned gypsies experienced some kind of discrimination. This assumption was proved to be correct. Secondly, more than half of questioned majority citizens have negative experience with gypsies. This assumption was also proved to be correct. And thirdly, more than half questioned respondents from the majority citizens do not know the basic specifics of gypsies ethnic. And this assumption was again proved to be true. The results of my work will be at disposal to people involved in the gypsy{\crq}s issues and to students of the Health Social University, majoring in a Rehabilitation and Psycho {--} Social care of handicapped kids, adults and seniors. In the future, my findings may serve to create new arrangements that could lead to better the current situation between gypsies and the majority citizens

Rights of Immigrants
SOUKUPOVÁ, Eva
The Czech Republic encounters problems of immigration after 1989. At present time there are about 2.5% of foreigners in the Czech Republic. This percentage is amongst the lowest within EU, however the predictions for the future are that the number is going to constantly increase. People come to the Czech Republic seeking better conditions for living and want to start a new life here. Therefore part of the government policy should be securing immigrants with equal access and equal opportunities in the labour market, in relation to health as well as social care. A quantitative research in the form of a questionnaire technique was selected in the practical part. Anonymous questionnaires for immigrants and public were used. The research aimed at immigrants was conducted in institutions engaged in helping aliens in Brno, České Budějovice, Hradec Králové, Plzeň and Prague. Total of 120 questionnaires were sent out. The questionnaire's returnability was 49%. The research set was therefore formed by 59 respondents. Research aimed at public was conducted in České Budějovice, Jindřichův Hradec and in Třeboň. Total of 110 questionnaires were handed out and their returnability was 100%. All questionnaires were evaluated and elaborated into percentage figures. Two goals are set in the thesis. To each of the goals two hypotheses were set. Goal 1: Find out the level of immigrants' knowledge about labour law and related regulations to it {--} health insurance, welfare. Hypothesis No. 1: More than half of the questioned immigrants know their rights. Hypothesis No. 2: More than half of the questioned immigrants know to whom they may turn to in case of problem solving. After questionnaire evaluation the first hypothesis was not confirmed and the second hypothesis was confirmed. Goal 2: Find out the level of public awareness of the law status of aliens living in the area of the Czech Republic. Hypothesis No. 1: More than half of the questioned respondents do not know the alien rights living in the area of the Czech Republic. Hypothesis No. 2: More than half of the questioned respondents know the organizations providing support for aliens living in the area of the Czech Republic.

Štoková, Daniela ; Veselý, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Krines, Vlastimil (referee)
In the main part of the thesis the conflict between Czechoslovakia and Poland over Teschen Silesia (1918-1945) is being analyzed and its impacts on the climate of Czech-Polish relations considered. Nevertheless, the whole issue is set into the frame of current events on the international political scene and is regarded not only as a regional matter but as one of the fundamental problems of international relations -- a conflict between two states over a border territory motivated by strategic and economic intentions. From the theoretical point of view, the conflict is applied on the methodology published in Waisová, Š.: Řešení konfliktů v mezinárodních vztazích.Further on the thesis deals with the current situation in the Teschen region with the emphasis on the position of the Polish national minority. That is supported by a survey focused on the quality of coexistence of various national groups in the region.

The relationship Czech majority and national minorities in the region of South Bohemia
Pána, Lubomír ; Pešková, Vladimíra (advisor) ; Prorok, Vladimír (referee) ; Pecka, Emanuel (referee) ; Švejda, Gabriel (referee)
Práce se zabývá zkoumáním problematiky národnostních menšin v kontextu Jihočeského kraje. Vychází ze skutečnosti, že současná společnost čelí problémům, které jsou historicky dané a navíc, které jsou způsobené imigrací. Vychází z rozsáhlého výzkumu, který byl proveden v Jihočeském kraji a který zkoumal jednak vztahy většinové populace k národnostním menšinám, na druhou stranu také věnoval i vztahům menšin k většinové populaci. Nabízí návrh koncepce Jihočeského kraje ve vztahu k národnostním menšinám. Je přínosná především z hlediska možnosti praktické aplikace získaných poznatků, ale může posloužit jako základ pro další analýzu dané problematiky, jednak v kontextu Jihočeského kraje, ale také na obecnější úrovni.
