Sivková, Olga ; Kučera, Tomáš (advisor) ; Mlčoch, Lubomír (referee) ; Hašková, Hana (referee)
The Family as an Externality within a Market Economy: Evidence from the Czech Republic The dissertation thesis deals with an issue of fertility decline in developed countries from a perspective of relationship between the family and the market economy. The family is perceived as an externality with respect to theoretical economic framework as well as to real economy of the Czech Republic in the period of economic transition. In other words, neither theory nor applied policy fully reflects contribution of the family for the whole society. The thesis goes into the family specification from distinct standpoints, its development within time, relationship to economy and briefly introduces economic approaches to the family at both micro and macro level. In addition, the thesis carries out analyses of Czech data in the period 1989-2010. While the macro analysis is focused on interaction between fertility and economy performance, the micro analysis is devoted to financial support provided by state to the family via the social scheme and the tax system. Keywords: the family, fertility, economy, the Czech Republic, the social scheme, the tax system

Růžičková, Ludmila ; Hašková, Hana (advisor) ; Havelková, Hana (referee)
Tato práce ukazuje obraz antikoncepce v českých tištěných periodikách v letech 1994-2004. Porovnává postoj katolické církve a postoj většinové společnosti pomocí kvalitativní analýzy vybraných textů. Identifikuje hlavní témata mediální diskuze o antikoncepci, roli odborníků, definici přijatelné antikoncepce a argumenty pro a proti užívání antikoncepce. Bylo zjištěno, že jak katolicky orientovaná, tak většinová periodika hodnotí antikoncepci jako přínosnou, pouze se liší jejich definice antikoncepce ve vztahu k potratu.
