Pavlovský, Jakub ; Veteška, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Kříž, Jaroslav (referee)
The thesis deals with the educational role of the Václav Havel Library, i.e. its role in the field of adult education. There are several objectives of the thesis. In addition to introducing the library, analysing and characterising the cultural and civic impact of this institution on adult individuals who have attended at least five educational events in a one-year period, it is also to identify its impact on the development of democratic culture. The thesis also characterises the civic education of adults and their civic competences and describes the role of the Václav Havel Library within the framework of cultural andragogy, a field that is both approached and described in its historical context and through contemporary means. The aim of cultural andragogy is to support adults in acquiring cultural values and meeting the needs of self- realisation.

Wage discrimination of the European players in the NHL
Pavlovský, Jakub ; Červinka, Michal (advisor) ; Kolář, Daniel (referee)
This thesis analyses the wage discrimination against the European players in the National Hockey League (NHL). There were some results in the past litera- ture acknowledging the existence of discrimination in the NHL. The main goal of this thesis is to examine the discrimination in the NHL using new data from season 2020-2021. Another goal is to extend past literature by including the models for goalkeepers because they were omitted in most of the literature, and by using modern advanced statistics to better analyse the players' skills. The method used to analyse the relationship between dependent and independent variables is linear regression. OLS is used to estimate the coefficients of the created models. The estimation of the created models arrives at an unexpected conclusion. There is no discrimination against European or Russian skaters in the NHL. But there is positive discrimination against Russian goalkeepers in the league.

Campaign for the same-sex marriage in the Czech Republic and its presentation in Czech online media
Pavlovský, Jakub ; Krobová, Tereza (advisor) ; Dobosiová, Martina (referee)
This thesis defines the basic terms concerning not only the homosexual minority but also other sexual minorities, and maps the historical and social development of primarily Czech gays and lesbians from the late 19th century to the present. Based on the study of selected Czech literature dealing with the history of homosexuality, the author presents the first preserved mention of people with minority sexual orientation in the territory of the Czech lands, describing their situation during the First Republic, World War II and Totalitarianism. The author devotes substantial part to the associations and movements that could be legally founded after 1989 and also presents a list of various radio and television programs and printed periodicals. At the same time, the thesis illustrates the efforts of this sexual minority to improve its social acceptance and its rights. It also describes specific milestones that led to the removal of homosexuality from the list of diseases in Czechoslovakia and subsequently the Czech Republic, through the adoption of the registered partnership act to the same-sex marriage campaign. The analytical part is devoted to the characteristics of the Koalice za manželství (Coalition for Marriage) and its campaign Jsme fér (We are fair), which was created in 2017 and aims to...
