French in Belgium
Šťastná, Natalie ; Kalfiřtová, Eva (advisor) ; Jančík, Jiří (referee)
The aim of this research is to study the French language used in Belgium, to describe the linguistic situation and some peculiarities of the language there, and to compare it with French language used in France. The author lived in Belgium for nearly six years and compared her experience of the differences between the French language in Belgium with the one used in France. To explore her impressions, she has studied and analysed different sources on the topic and summarised the most important differences. The research is divided in two parts. One gives more general information on Belgium, describes the history of the territory and the linguistic situation of the country to help understand the situation of the French language there. The other, more important part on the language itself describes the phonetic, morphological, syntactic and lexical particularities of Belgian French. The basic conclusion of this paper is that Belgian French is slightly different from French used in France but the differences are not great enough to make understanding between the two nations difficult.

Analysis of the Italian Labour Market
Kadlecová, Kateřina ; Filipová, Alena (advisor) ; Zeman, Jiří (referee)
The thesis consists of two main parts: descriptive and analytical. The descriptive part focuses on providing the readers with information about the main characteristics of the Italian labour market. It provides not only statistical data about the labour market but also describes the key instruments and provisions of the Italian social and labour policy. In the analytical part, conclusions from the descriptive part are drawn, several critical issues are pointed out and proposals for improvement are presented. Due to the complexity of the topic, the thesis concentrates on depicting an overall image of the current situation at the Italian labour market. However, it does not aspire to provide details on all range of questions related to it. As a logical consequence of the fact that hardly any information in the Czech language on the topic stays at disposal, the thesis is based on the information and data presented mostly in Italian, possibly in English language, by Italian and international (non-)governmental organisations.

Culture of the west - on the issue of crisis of contemporary western society
Augustinová, Šárka ; Soukup, Martin (referee) ; Ortová, Jitka (advisor)
This diploma thesis is based on the presumption that the cause of today's imbalanced situation of the culture of the West is entailed in its neglect of mostly spiritual and afiliative components of our cultural code. The thesis is mostly based on the work of P. A. Sorokin, who saw the cause of the crisis of Western culture in its prevalent sensitive components and on the other hand in the deficit of spiritual ones. In the following chapters the author is focusing on the situation of religion in today's Western culture and on the issue of ethics for contemporary civilization. As a solution to current situation she finds necessary to return to those values that stood at the birth of Europe, which in fact, in today's language, are the values for sustainable way of life. The author comes to the conclusion that contemporary Western culture needs overall overhaul of its sociocultural system, in which the spiritual values should play greater role once again.

Faculty cooperation for teaching languages
Křížová, Miriam ; Dvořáková, Markéta (referee) ; Kasíková, Hana (advisor)
Osm let pracuji jako lektorka anglického jazyka v soukromém vzdělávacím středisku. Moje původní profese však byla jiná, pracovala jsem jako samostatný odborný pracovník památkové péče, což byl zbytečně složitý název pro průvodce na památkovém objektu. Náplní naší práce bylo provádět návštěvníky, a pokud to byli cizinci, prováděli jsme je v příslušných jazycích. Protože v té době nebyly k dispozici cizojazyčné texty, spolupráce a pomoc mezi kolegy byla nezbytnou nutností, ale i samozřejmostí. Ke změně profese mne donutila rodinná situace, kdy po mateřské dovolené jsem nemohla pracovat hlavně o sobotách, nedělích a svátcích. Složila jsem základní státní jazykovou zkoušku z anglického jazyka a odpověděla na inzerát v tisku nabízející práci lektorky angličtiny. Podvědomě jsem očekávala pomoc a spolupráci. Naštěstí se mi obojího dostalo vrchovatě.Ne od vedení firmy,ale od kolegů. Ze všech nejvíce mi pomohla kolegyně Martina, sama aprobovaná učitelka angličtiny a hudební výchovy. Poradila mi, jaké doplňkové učebnice si koupit, kde hledat zajímavé články a vůbec mi dodávala odvahu k této nelehké práci.

Romanies and health care
Čížková, Marie ; Havrdová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Boženský, Jan (referee)
This thesis is engaged in health provision problems in non integrated Romany population who live at the low social level. This is the qualitative research focused on practices and beliefs associated with health provision (it means family treatment, prevention, adherence to physician recommendation, ....), a different perception and a communication with health care providers. Romanies do not practice prevention of illnesses and they come to the physician when a disease is far gone. Usually reason for seeing a doctor is a pain. Romanies fear serious diagnosis and an invasive examination or treatment. Romanies are very emotional and it gets manifested in their behaviour. They ventilate their emotions without scruples. A different perception, a style of communication, a low level of education and a hard approach to information have an influence on a level of health provision in some Romany population. The key to positive change is well developed communication between the health providers and Romany patients and their families. It means not to expert language, to explain everything comprehensively and clearly, to be patient, to support feedback from the patient.
