Sociology of health. Health and media in the social context
Novotný, Tomáš ; Mudd, Dana (advisor) ; Hamplová, Dana (referee)
ABSTRACT /ENG/ Sociology of Health Health and media in the social context Until the middle of the twentieth century, modern scientific medicine had an excellent reputation as a universally effective institution. In recent decades, however, this idea has been called into question, because the public has realised that the idealised image of medicine promised more than it could fulfil. The image of medicine over the past 50 years has changed significantly and today it is closely associated with other areas, including the environment, politics and the economy. The thesis is therefore devoted to current issues of health systems, health information and mass media as a mediator of health information. One reason why we will criticise modern medicine is that the Czech Republic can not cover all the costs associated with caring for patients; others will include lobbies in the health sector, and the general difficulty of comparing the country's quality of health care and research to other countries. For the public, the media, playing a major role in the process of the "secularisation" of medicine, has become the main source of information on health and health care. But the media also has another function: to direct our attention to health issues and...

Krátká, Tereza ; Hamplová, Dana (advisor) ; Kuchař, Pavel (referee)
The relationship between health and working conditions represents an important topic of sociologic research. Still, in the Czech context this theme has not been sufficiently dealt with.

The results of the analysis correspond with those reached in foreign context - in comparison with unemployed, economically active people feel them healthier. Using the regression model, significant influence of education on this relationship was proved. Other testing brought a conclusion that people working in difficult conditions evaluate their health worse than people who do not have to cope with hard working conditions. There was not proved a significant difference between men and women in evaluation of subjective health...

Kdo se vyhýbá manželství?
Hamplová, Dana
The paper analyzes increase in non-marital fertility in the Czech Republic in 1990-2005. It emphasize that non-marital fertility is typical for women with low education and for women living in regions with little economic prospects. Using data from SECM, it is argued that this increase in extra-marital childbearing cannot be fully explained by procreation within cohabiting unions. Instead, this paper points out that decline in marital births can be to a large degree attributed to men’s withdrawal from families, which is significant especially among lower classes.

On Ideological Approaches Towards the Family During the Socialist Period
Horská, P. ; Hamplová, Dana
The work describes theoretical approaches towards the family from 50s to 80s. The emphasis is especially placed on the Marxist ideology and sociology of family and on the practical implications of these theories. The first phase of the communist regime in 50s was characterised by a strongly anti-family rhetoric and politics, and this was weakened only in 60. Functionalist approach towards the family and endeavour to fight against bourgeois familiarism was typical for the period of 70s and 80s.
