Komárek, Tomáš ; Morávková Krejčová, Lenka (referee) ; Gillernová, Ilona (referee)
The thesis deals with experiencing flow and intrinsic motivation of pupils at Primary Art School. The aim of the research was to find out the following: to what extent are pupils of Primary Art School intrinsically motivated towards music, to what extent the pupils experience flow while playing a musical instrument and what psychological aspects are related to this type of experience. The target group of respondents represented pupils from musical branch at the age from 11 to 18 (N = 108). The data were obtained from three questionnaires (Flow, Teacher, and Motivation Questionnaire). The first two questionnaires were created for the purpose of this thesis. Motivation questionnaire was translated from English version of SIMS questionnaire (The Situational Motivation Scale). The research proved that pupils of Primary Art School think that they experience flow quite often. Most of the observed variables are significantly related to flow, on the contrary the relationship was less close. The exception was a relationship between flow and intrinsic motivation where closer connection was established. It was not proved that flow experience of Primary Art School pupils relates to participation in any musical groups, range of homework, length of playing musical instruments or gender of the respondents.

I've focused on mapping the working mechanism of these interventions. I mention factors that contribute to their effectiveness. At the end of the theoretical work I mention the critical reflection on researches to verify the effectiveness of intervention strategies and introduce most common pitfalls, typical for this type of studies.

Representation
Komárek, Tomáš ; Dvořák, Jan (advisor) ; Elischer, David (referee)
Representation: This thesis on the topic of representation is focused generally on behalf of the Institute. It mainly deals with the rules contained in Civil Code, Act no. 89/2012 Coll. It desribes basic concepts and methods of resolution representation. Its interpretation focuses on the diferences between any forms of representation. In that case, it is not possible to write up the entire institution of the representation, which was one of the largest in the law. This work is therefore focused on the substantive representation, and especially on the conditions for the creation and termination of contractual representation and on guardianship and especially guardianship of individuals. The thesis contains also an outline of the historical development of the Institute's presence in our law, but again, considering the vastness of representation, it is not an exhaustive analysis, but merely mentioning the most significant sources. An element of this thesis is also an overview of the procedural representation in civil court proceedings. Adoption of the Civil Code Act no. 89/2012 Coll. had to institute represented a significant impact when to applicable law brought many new important sub-institutes, and greater clarity.
