Rheumatoid arthritis versus ankylosing spondylitis from the view of dependence to social network
JELENOVÁ, Michaela
The number of rheumatic diseases has been increasing in Europe. It is estimated that currently up to a quarter of Europeans suffer from some type of rheumatism. Rheumatoid arthritis and Bechterew's disease (ankylosing spondylitis) are chronic diseases manifested by pain, stiffness, inflammation of joints and the back. The theoretical section is divided into two parts; the first part defines rheumatoid arthritis and Bechterew's disease from the health point of view. The second part is devoted to the social area that is often neglected. The aim of the practical section of the thesis is to reveal how rheumatoid arthritis differs from Bechterew's disease in terms of the use of social assistance, as well as employability or participation in social life. For the data collection, qualitative research methods and interviewing techniques were used. The addressed respondents were patients of rheumatology consulting rooms of the Medipont Plus Ltd., who were divided into two groups ? patients with rheumatoid arthritis and those with Bechterew's disease. The research has shown that persons suffering form rheumatoid arthritis are more likely to get a disability pension than those with Bechterew's disease and they also more often use social contributions, most frequently the extra benefits for people with disabilities ? ZTP cards. This is related to a lower work capability in patients with rheumatoid arthritis compared to those with Bechterew's disease. The research results are influenced by the age of the respondents, the length of the illness, the difference in the roles of men and women and last but not least, by personality characteristics. The research has proved that patients suffering from rheumatic diseases as well as those suffering from Bechterew's disease and undergoing biological treatment are more self-sufficient due to this modern treatment. It has also been found that the respondents who are not fully self-sufficient are not informed about the possibilities to get social benefits and contributions and do not know where to get this information. The thesis could provide an impetus for the strategy when rheumatic diseases are not considered only a medical issue, because these diseases significantly influence the lives of the people affected and thus become a serious psychosocial issue.

The usage of psychosocial services in hemodialysis centres
HACKLOVÁ, Lucie
Chronic disorder of kidneys is a gradual progression from the state of health to the state of a disease, resulting in permanent failure of excretory, regulatory, and hormonal (metabolic) functions of kidneys. During a kidney failure water and electrolyte imbalance, retention of catabolites, and metabolic acidosis occur; there is a shortage of substances produced in kidneys. A complex metabolic disorder occurs, whose clinic corelate is a uremic syndrom. Conservative treatment consists in adjusting or positive influencing of metabolic deviations through a diet and medication. However, if the conservative treatment is insufficient, it is necessary to proceed to some of the blood purifying methods {--} hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis. These methods are then followed by kidney transplant. Dialysed people have an abnormal life, as a vitally important organ of theirs does not work and is replaced by an apparatus. Patients are faced with many stresses and bans {--} they have to be on a diet with liquid restrictions, they have to take remedies regularly, due to dialysis days they are time limited, their appearance is often changed, they suffer from sexual disfunction, their sickness rate is high, etc. A successful transplant is a great white hope for the patients, but it also has its medical contraindications, therefore it does not concern all the dialysed patients. Thus a big occurence of depressions and suicides among patients cannot be a surprise. Besides medical care it is then necessary to focus on psychological care and social recovery. However, the results of a questionnaire research did not prove the occurence of psychological problems among the clients of dialysis centres. It proved true that the clients of centres are not interested in using psychosocial services, which was the third hypothesis.Further it came out that the clients are not well informed about social services and social benefits. Thus the second hypothesis was confirmed {--} The clients of centres do not know psychosocial services. The first hypothesis {--} Psychosocial workers are not used by hemodialysis centres {--} was also confirmed. The teams of the centres miss a psychologist absolultely and only one centre has a social worker.

Awareness of the public about social assistance system in the Czech Republic
NAJMANOVÁ, Radka
This thesis deals with the social assistance system in the Czech Republic and makes a survey of the system as a whole. Its main objective is to present changes that have occurred in this particular area and to show how the Czech public perceives these reforms. In the theoretical part of the thesis I feature characteristics of the social assistance system with an emphasis on forms of assistance {--} social assistance benefits and social services. The empirical part describes views of respondents selected from the general public of individual areas of social assistance system and also of the system as a whole, including its evaluation. Partial objectives of research investigation turned out to be very important for making a survey of the views, therefore I focused also on finding out experience of people and awareness about social assistance system and resources people obtain this information from. I used quantitative research, the interview method and as a data collection technique I used a questionnaire. The research results show that awareness of the public about social assistance system is rather poor. Most addressed people had very incomplete knowledge in the field of social security and did not know the term social assistance at all. Respondents weren´t able to express their opinion because they had little information about the issue. The results point out low level of awareness and lack of interest of the Czech public about social assistance. I believe that Czech public is disoriented following the adoption of new laws. I would recommend paying much more attention to the transmission of information to users, to support general awareness and the ability of competent authorities to provide users with understandable information.

Conditions of Life of Families Living on Social Allowances in the Long Term
BERANOVÁ, Kateřina
This thesis for baccalaureate is dealing, theoretically and practically, with issues of the living conditions of families living on social allowances in the long term. The objective of the thesis was to describe the conditions of life of a selected sample of families living in dependence on the state system of the social protection focused on the social conditions of life of the families. A partial objective was to appreciate possible relationship of conditions of life of the families and the occurrence of social pathological effects and criminal activities in these families. I used the method of a concerned observation and a guided interview with the quality research. The observation was carried out in the course of visits to families and interviews with individual family members. The interviews focused on several pre-determined topics. From the data obtained from observations and interviews with the families members, I drew up four case studies. The comparison of case studies that followed proved a relationship between the lives of families depending on the financial support of the state and occurrence of the negative phenomena such as criminal activities and drug addiction. These phenomena produce a negative effect on interpersonal relations in families, contribute to psychological and emotional devastation of their members and impair the functions of the family as a whole. It is also possible to state that the surveyed families live on the conditions of income scarcity due to a low financial support of the state. It results in a certain degree of insulation of the families from their social surroundings. The criminal activities and social pathological phenomena still increase the social insulation of the families. The families attempt to resolve a number of the problems of their existence, mainly those of housing and employment. These problems are resolved by themselves or with some assistance of the broader family. For various reasons, these attempts tend to be unsuccessful. Therefore, they are left to the support of the external that is currently insufficient.

Ifluencing the Demographic Behavior of Chosen Inhabitant Groups by Social Benefits
Vlček, Petr ; Kotýnková, Magdalena (advisor) ; Sunega, Petr (referee)
This paper aimes to provide a multidimensional view on the topic of the sustainability of the social system in the long run. Psychology together with sociology indicate that the impact of genetic factors on the forming of an individual into a well-ordered member of society with a normal values is much smaller than the impact of the family and its social capital. Social system aspirates to motivate the needed ones to become financially independent again, but this simply does not work. On the other hand in the attempt to increase the household income especially the socially excluded households chose to change their characteristics in order to get the social benefits rather than to enter labour market. One of the most important and relatively easily changable characteristics in this context is the number of unprovided children in the family. Therefore to get a bigger amount of social benefits they have children. To proove the rationality of such behaviour the concept of the consumption unit is used. This concept quantifies the economies of scale in the common household. The result is that while in the typical family the income per consumption unit steadily decreases with the increasing number of children, in the family without any earnings this income approximatly doubles. The financial situation of the poor family improves with the number of children. This has an adverse effect on the society structure in the long run, because it encourages higher birth rate of the groups that do not contribute to the system. It is possible to lower the birth rate in the unfavourable families and increase it in the typical families by changing the rules of computing the benefits. It is necessary to keep the income per consumption unit independent from the number of children. This can be achieved for example by a tax abatement. It is also advisable to connect the social and retirement system in the manner that the amount of the retirement pension would be affected by the amount of money contributed to the system by the children of the retiree.

Redistribuční dopady veřejných financí v ČR
Švajková, Monika ; Klazar, Stanislav (advisor)
V práci se zabývam otázkou spravedlivé redistribuce sociálních dávek v ČR a provádím jednotlivé výpočty potřebné pro dané zjištění. Součástí práce jsou i charakteristiky jednotlivých sociálních dávek a způsoby jejich výpočtů ve formě tabulek a grafů. V teoretické časti jsou hlavně teoretické vědomosti o dané problematice a v praktické časti jsou veškeré vlastní výpočty (přesný postup výpočtu čisté mzdy, vypočty výši testovaných sociálních dávek a jejich analýza). Pro svoji práci a analýzu všech dat používam programy Microsoft Excel na jednotlivé výpočty sociálních dávek, dále SAS Enterprise Guide, ve kterém spočítavám závislost sociálních dávek na výši čistého příjmu a nakonec samozřejmě Microsoft Word, ve kterém svoji práci píšu. V přílohách uvádím jen první stranu vlastních výpočtů, protože rozsah je moc velký, poslední výpočty jsem ale prováděla na 3026 domácnostech, a právě proto, že jde o velké množství dat, poslední tabulku jsem do svých příloh neuvedla.
