Life situation of university students in terms of adulthood
Musilová, Barbora ; Tuček, Milan (advisor) ; Kuchař, Pavel (referee)
Diplomová práce: Životní situace vysokoškolských studentů z hlediska dospělosti (Life situation of university students in terms of adulthood) Zpracovala: Barbora Musilová Abstract Diploma thesis " Life situation of university students in terms of adulthood" aims to show how young people currently studying university perceive their life situation and how much they feel to be adults. The thesis seeks the answers in qualitative analysis of students of Prague universities. Theoretical background of empirical part is formed by theories of present time analysts which highlight the variability and instability of social conditions. The result of this instability is that there are shifts of the timing of life events in the life cycles and challenging the traditional definition of adulthood as defined for example, independent living and marriage. Trends in the life of young students, such as prolonged studies or leaving home parents in late time point to a new stage, which haven't been in the life paths of previous generations. Living situation of young university students is not only extending the transition to adulthood, but the independent stage, which also raises the need to redefine the earlier definition of valid adulthood.

Spatial aspects and their impact on social life on Strahov campus
Pflegerová, Nikola ; Tuček, Milan (advisor) ; Pašková, Miroslava (referee)
The main topic of this bachelor thesis deals with the issues of individuals and spatial aspects in general and uses the Strahov dormitory as an example. The text is composed of two parts, theoretical and practical. The first part is based on theoretical architectural determinism with an emphasis on interactionist theory and tries to characterize concepts related to space and spatial behavior, which may, to some extent, positively or negatively influence the behavior in general. This work also focuses on social function of buildings and the influence of the quality of space on the amount of social interaction and social life. This thesis also addresses the issues of living on university campuses - its temporary nature, sharing space with unfamiliar people and limited set of free choices. I applied the information from the theoretical part of this text on the case study of Strahov dormitory. I learned about serious lack of quality of that area, such as bad climate and operating conditions. On the other hand, I witnessed the effort made by students themselves, who are not satisfied by the conditions in which they live and try to make them better. Thanks to their initiative, new social spaces are made and the quality of the dormitory gets better.

Mikoláš, Michal ; Tuček, Milan (advisor) ; Buchtík, Martin (referee)
The author deals with MMORPGs, a special computer game genre. MMORPGs are designed to host simultaneous playing of a large number of people. The key topic is role- playing, which occurs when the players accept a fictional role connected with their avatar. The text also includes description of the terms avatar, guilds, synthetic worlds, games and online games. The basic premise of this theoretically oriented work is that role-playing is not a homogenous issue and takes different forms as a result of the server/guild game style choice. The author collected data in World of Warcraft game environment. He created an avatar which helped him to observe actions of others while taking "field notes" and recording the chat communication of the players. The author compared data recorded while playing in two differently oriented guilds, which helped to create and describe basic definitions and forms of role-playing in online games.

Cirklová, Jitka ; Tuček, Milan (advisor) ; Lužný, Dušan (referee) ; Bělka, Luboš (referee)
The text, which is divided into ten chapters, deals with the form and orientation of the Czech Buddhist community. At the beginning, the thesis presents a short overview of Buddhism interpretations by Western science, culture and society. We present the ways of and reasons for popularization of Buddhism in Western cultural environment and provide the issues which attract attention of professional public and which have been explored within various scientific fields. The paper introduces research into the current Western Buddhism, which is understood as an independent form of Buddhism rather than a direct continuation of Asian Buddhist lines and schools. The dissertation thesis therefore uses the discussions and foreign studies focusing on the mapping of ways of interpretation and application of Buddhist ideas in the Western cultural environment.. Our study endeavours to understand better the dynamics of the domains of current religion and describe them. The field survey concentrated on Buddhist groups as well as individuals. Subsequently, the text evaluates their interaction and the process of forming of a group and an individual. The first stage of research provided us with more complex data on the institutional background formed by Czech Buddhist groups on which the respondents draw. The following second...

Soviet civilization. The Phenomenon of the USSR in reflection of the contemporary Russian Sociology
Bělonožník, Zdeněk ; Petrusek, Miloslav (advisor) ; Kubát, Martin (referee) ; Tuček, Milan (referee)
The aim of the thesis is to introduce a specific discussion of contemporary Russian historical and social science on the phenomenon of the USSR and its role within Russian history. In particular, concepts of three contemporary Russian authors are analysed that deal with topics such as specific periods of Soviet history, context of USSR establishment and its breakdown, internal dynamics and transformation, leading principles of the society life or the Union's relations towards both West and the Third World. The questions of continuity of Russian history and relation between Russian tradition and modernity constitute horizontal issues that diffuse discussion on most of the particular topics. The presented concepts illustrate considerable complexity of the postsoviet Russian disccussion; at the same time they reffer to certain leading lines which allow to overarch the variety of ideas by general concept of "Russian point of view". One of the lines consists in confronting the USSR/Russia with the West, quality that traditionally marks any Russian discussion on the country's identity. The author of the current document intends to demonstrate that the idealized reflection of the Russia/USSR that we can witness in works of most Russian historicians might particularly arise from their incorrect 5 perception of the...
