Selected youth fashion styles related with risk behaviour
RIGANOVÁ, Veronika
The title of my thesis is ?Selected Fashion Styles of Young People Associated with Risk Behaviour?. For young people, their appearance is very important. The appearance is a means of expressing identity; in this way, teenagers tell the people around whom they feel to be. As young people want to differentiate from their peers and adults, they express this not only by a certain style of clothing but also behaviour. Thanks to this, young people often enter different subcultures. A subculture can be described as culture of a sub-group that is more or less distinct from the dominant, mainstream and ?official? culture. A subculture consists of groups of people sharing particular values and norms in which they differ from the dominant or mainstream society. Various kinds of risk behaviour are often associated with subcultures. Risk behaviour is a phenomenon threatening the community across all cultures. It threatens the healthy development of juveniles in terms of biological, psychological and social development. The objective of my thesis is to describe selected fashion styles of young people and their specific characteristics in relation to risk behaviour of individual subcultures. The theoretical part describes selected youth subcultures, their history, lifestyles, values, and typical clothing. It also briefly describes the types of risk behaviour that are met in those subcultures. The practical part defines the objectives of the thesis and it describes the actual research, including the comparisons of the results obtained with the findings of other authors mentioned in the theoretical part. The actual research was conducted in a qualitative form using the method of questioning in the form of semi-structured interviews with respondents from youth subcultures. The results of the thesis make it obvious that risky behaviour does occur in the selected subcultures. In all the subcultures, the following can be seen: substance abuse, it was mainly alcohol and marijuana; however, marijuana was not in the emo subculture. In the skinhead subculture, some respondents reported right-wing extremism and violent behaviour. In contrast, in the punk subculture, a tendency to left-wing extremism and violent behaviour was much smaller. As far as hip hop and graffiti subcultures are concerned, only one respondent from the selected sample does graffiti but has not had trouble with the police. It can therefore be concluded that hip-hop and graffiti have not as much in common as it was in the beginning, when the style began to penetrate the country. In the gothic subculture, it was not confirmed that self-mutilation exists as a norm in the subculture. This subculture showed, more than the other subcultures, body-modifying practices but there was also Satanism; however, the respondents refused any connection with the violent practices that are associated with Satanism (cruelty to animals, etc.). Self-mutilation was confirmed in the emo subculture. Three respondents out of four have had some experience with it. Two of them started self-mutilation because of the ?emo rules? that they tried to follow when they started out with this style. All the respondents from the subculture add that self-mutilation has nothing to do with the style, self-mutilation is not one of subcultural norms, and they express opposition to these so-called ?emo rules?. It should be noted that these ?emo rules? were created by a person who did not belong to the subculture. All the respondents, who participated in the research, mention greater or lesser problems because of their style also in their everyday life (school, work, family). I think it?s mainly due to biased information from media. The results of my thesis can serve as a basis for further research, they can be used in teaching these issues and, of course, they can be used in the context of effective primary prevention.

STRNADOVÁ, Monika
Any disability can bring disadvantages in many aspects of human lives. This often affects physical, mental and social areas of life. It depends on many circumstances and factors to what extent and at what intensity disability influences the way of life. The research part of my diploma thesis confirms this fact. Not only the type of disability and its prognosis, the personality and his/her ability to handle difficult situations in life, but also the quality of social relationships and the strength of the social safety net are important factors. Irreplaceable role in caring for people with a disability has comprehensive rehabilitation, which helps not only to improve the health condition, to restore job skills and self-sufficiency, but mainly supports a successful return to the home environment as well as to the regular everyday life.The aim of my thesis was to learn about individual life stories of people struggling with a disability of physical functions, whether due to an illness, injury or another disability, resulting in movement disorders, and to find out how the disability affects their lives. I tried to analyze specific aspects of life and social consequences of disability (coping with disabilities,value orientation, interpersonal relationships, future plans, self-realization). The base of my work is the holistic, i.e. bio-psycho-socio-spiritual approach, I respect the individuality of each individual, his/her attitude to life with a handicap (disability).

The Life Style of People Working as Healty Life Style Advisors.
JANOŠOVÁ, Kateřina
Lifestyle belongs to the most significant factors that influence our health. Lifestyle of most people at the beginning of the 21st century is rather alarming. Healthy lifestyle counselling provides basic range of tests and examinations that determine the level of individual risk of a client. Risk analysis enables to recommend an optimum change in nutrition, alcohol consumption, smoking habits, physical activity and stress management. The thesis is divided in the theoretical and practical part. The first part introduces theoretical determination of the issue. It deals with the concept of lifestyle and questions that influence health factors. In the practical part the research results are presented. The research focused on the description of lifestyle of healthy lifestyle counsellors. I used the method of a questionnaire and I processed the obtained data statistically. The research set consisted of 153 respondents working in the field of healthy lifestyle counselling. The control group consisted of 438 employees of Public Health Protection bodies. Based on the research I have concluded that healthy lifestyle counsellors are aware of the importance to keep healthy lifestyle, however, they do not always follow the particular recommendations. Main problems are above all a lack of physical activity, insufficient consumption of fish and legumes.

Lifestyle of diabetic
HYNKOVÁ, Jana
Diabetes is said to be an epidemic of 21st century. Although death rates from diabetes are decreasing, the treatment results are still not satisfactory. Today, every tenth Czech is affected by diabetes, but according to doctors, a quarter of patients do not even know about the existence of their disease.In my thesis I focus on the lifestyle of diabetics. I am mainly concerned about their diet. Another important thing was to find out if they eat regularly, and whether the portions are eaten at regular time intervals throughout the day, as the regular and balanced diet is more important in diabetic patients than in anyone else.My survey has clearly proved that stress significantly worsens the quality of life of patients with diabetes mellitus. On the other hand, there is no evidence that a healthy diet and physical activity significantly improve health condition of patients with diabetes mellitus.
