This thesis deals with the phenomenon of social farming; its aim is to describe this phenomenon, understand it and critically discuss it in the context of social economics and social entrepreneurship. The text also proposes other frames of thought - social integration and social work, multifunctional agriculture, the Green Care concept and the social entrepreneurial theory in which social farming can be considered. The thesis also gives insight into foreign and Czech socio-agricultural practice. It uses methodology based on the principles of exploratory and descriptive case studies since it focuses on a small sample of a phenomenon not yet described in which context and content are observed. The study is divided into two sections: a theoretical part and a research part, each of which draw on professional literature, semi-structured in-depth interviews with representatives of social farms, other primary data and documents and secondary sources.

Funding possibilities of social enterprises.
Maščeníková, Miroslava ; Dohnalová, Marie (advisor) ; Hudcová, Eliška (referee)
Thesis focus on funding possibilities of social enterprises in Czech Republic, different ways of funding from various sources and the ability of enterprises to reach these resources. Work has theoretical and empirical character. The theoretical part comes with overview of the history of social enterprises in Europe and in the Czech Republic, their development and legislative framework. Part of the work is devoted to theories of civic sector organizations, on the basis of which I am trying to point out the factors that might have an impact on financing social enterprises. Social enterprises tend to have other sources of funding than those that are available for commercial business. In connection with these sources, the common term to describe it, is multi-source or hybrid financing. Empirical part is preceded by an analysis of hybrid financial instruments that are available in the Czech Republic and which are designed specifically for social enterprises. Empirical part is composed of analysis of financial reports from selected social enterprises and demonstrates the true structure of financial resources for the studied period.

Students of protestant theology and pastors in the 1980
Hudcová, Eliška ; Matějka, Ondřej (advisor) ; Cuhra, Jaroslav (referee)
The thesis called "Marvellous Year"- The Life of Evangelical Theologians and Pastors at the Normalisation Period in their own words tries to show an ordinary day of an evangelical theologian and pastor in the 70's and 80's of 20th century based on the participants' biographical narrations. The first chapter treats the state church policy at the normalisation period and there are also mentioned the basic historical data of the Evangelical Church of Bohemian Bretheren and the Comenius Evangelical Theologian Faculty for that period. The following chapter describes the life of evangelical theologians and pastors during the communist regime and it is elaborated on the basis of their present narrations. Unlike the official sources (which automatically do not correspond to the social practice), this way offers more critical view, so it revises the bipolar model of the totalitarian period. The last chapter deals with nowadays presentations of three Evangelical Church of Bohemian Bretheren parsons. It is followed by the analysis of the "marvellous year" dynamics. And this chapter is finished by retrospective memories of the normalisation period in former Czechoslovakia.
