The ontogenetical beginnings. The application of Merleau-Ponty's philosophy on early development psychology
Urbanová, Kateřina ; Horáková Hoskovcová, Simona (referee) ; Šulová, Lenka (advisor)
This work wishes to present the possibilities of phenomenological interpretation of world and development of infant. It utilizes the philosophy of Maurice Merleau-Ponty for this goal. It analyzes the ground for phenomenological philosophy in psychology and presents in main features the philosophy of mentioned author. It shows contemporary psychological view on ontogenetical beginnings of perception and it reflects these psychological ideas from the position of Merleau-Ponty's philosophy. It stresses the necessity to clear up the character of infant's world at all, before we start to explain its individual aspects. In a key part, this work deals with philosophical interpretation of developmental "beginnings" and it postulate the early development as a "looking for home" in a world. At the beginning of this process, there are other people. In the conclusion this work discusses methodological consequences of this conception for ontogenetical psychology.

Merleau-Ponty and the beginings
Urbanová, Kateřina ; Janoušek, Jaromír (referee) ; Šulová, Lenka (advisor)
This work whishes to open phenomenological paradigm in child psychology. It is inspired by the philosophy of Maurice Merleau-Ponty. It, at first, foreshadows his thinking, which is not very extended in czech psychology. So, it discusses the relationship between psychology and phenomenology too. Then it tends to put down how it is possible to understand some aspects of infant perception. The pivotal part of the work is a consideration about the nature of the "beginings" of our life and about how their conception influences developmental psychology at all. We try to find out what gives a fashion and direction to the development of man. Hier, it takes advantage also from others fenomenological authors. The result of this work is summary of the phenomenological view on child and it's development. It suggestes non-privative conception of child and it's world. It couldn't be uderstanded only as an imperfect wolrd of adults. We show, that the task of the other people is rather "to introduce" a child to the world.

Gitana between tradition and present times. (The position of women in particular communities of Catalan Gitanos in French Perpignan and environs)
Urbanová, Kateřina ; Andrš, Zbyněk (referee) ; Červenka, Jan (advisor)
Úvod V následující práci se pokusím popsat postavení ženy ve vybraných komunitách katalánských Gitanos ve francouzském Perpignanu a okolí. Budu vycházet především z terénního výzkumu, který jsem zde uskutečnila společně se dvěma spolužačkami na podzim 2004, vlastní poznatky budu doplňovat o informace z dostupné literatury a z materiálů, které jsem získala během dvouměsíčního pobytu ve francouzském Perpignanu. Téma bakalářské práce do jisté míry vychází ze situace, v níž jsem se společně s kolegyněmi v Perpignanu ocitla. Komunity katalánských Gitanos v Perpignanu a okolí jsou uzavřené a je velmi těžké do nich proniknout. Navíc je zde velmi striktně oddělen svět mužů a žen. Vzhledem k výše uvedeným skutečnostem pro nás bylo snazší proniknout do ženské společnosti, pravidelně jsme se se ženami setkávaly ve Sdružení gitanských žen (Association des femmes gitanes) v Perpignanu, vedly jsme rozhovory se ženami z obdobného sdružení v Montpellier, setkaly jsme se i s dalšími ženami z jiných komunit. Informátorky samy vypovídaly o svém postavení v komunitě a v rodině, o snaze své postavení v rámci komunity změnit. Během pobytu ve Francii jsme se setkaly s představitelkami "ženského emancipačního hnutí", míra emancipace, o niž ženy usilovaly, se v jednotlivých komunitách a napříč generacemi lišila. V první, úvodní...

Waldorf education - alternative primary education for children with special needs?
URBANOVÁ, Kateřina
This Bachelor´s thesis is called "Waldorf school system alternative to primary education for children with special needs?" Theoretical part of this work focuses on three main terms already mentioned in the above title of my Bachelor´s work definition of the term children with special educational needs in accordance with the Education Law and its implementing regulation no.73/2005 Coll., primary education and Waldorf school system. In addition, I also mention school curriculum framework, individual schooling programme and terms integration and inclusion. Practical part of my Bachelor´s thesis tries to find out whether Waldorf school can act as the alternative for pupils with special educational needs. Waldorf school system is patterned on anthroposophy founded by Rudolph Steiner. The philosophy is based on paying attention to child´s evolutional phases, their development of relations to the world, transformations and abilities to learn. The base of the whole Waldorf school system deals with alternation the school curriculum to suit the needs and gradual development of child´s capabilities. Waldorf pedagogy sees upbringing as the evolutionary process in which subjects are implemented during specific phases of the child´s personality development. Currently, there are twelve Waldorf schools in the Czech Republic. Practical part contains results of the research which covers two research questions. The first research question focuses on positive and negative points of Waldorf school system and the second research question finds out which factors influence the parents´ decision in choosing a basic school. Qualitative research was carried out by the methods of questioning and half-standard interviews. The interview covered ten basic questions. Six of them were the same for all participants, two of them were aimed at mothers of ordinary basic school pupils and the last ones were aimed at mothers of Waldorf school pupils. Research sample included three mothers of pupils with special educational needs from ordinary basic schools, two mothers of pupils with special educational needs from Waldorf school, one mother of a pupil without special educational needs from Waldorf school, the Waldorf school headmaster and the Practical Waldorf school headmistress. Waldorf schools in České Budějovice and Písek were inquired to provide me with contacts to parents; unfortunately, none of the addressed parents contacted me. The research sample was therefore made of mediated contacts. The research showed results of both research questions. The second research question dealt with determinative factors for choice of the basic school and the research shows that parents´ most deciding factors include accessibility from the place of residence and previous experience with the school such as the older sibling´ s experience. The reason for a different choice or a change of school is dissatisfaction with the attended school and the whole classical educational system. Parents of pupils with special educational needs often decide only whether they choose either an ordinary school or a special schools´ network. Lack of information about alternative schools in the Czech Republic rules out the choice within more possibilities. Provided that the parents search for alternative educational possibility, they have to look up the information themselves. The first research question results are not as obvious as the second research question ones. Predomination of positives or negatives in Waldorf school system cannot be stated unambiguously. Waldorf school system has definitely both positive and negative points as anything else and every parent ought to consider the importance of the positive and the negative points for themselves. One respondent claimed during the interview: "Waldorf school is for every child, but not for every parent."

The simulation model of the population growth
Urbanová, Kateřina ; Kuncová, Martina (advisor) ; Fiala, Tomáš (referee)
In this thesis, called a simulation model of population growth, there was created the simulation model of a population growth in the Czech Republic to the year 2052. First there was constructed the projection through the component method used in demography. Deterministic values obtained by this method are then used in the simulation analysis. In the simulation analysis there was conducted an experiment with three variables which influence the population growth (the fertility, life expectancy/the coefficient of the decline of the probability of the death/ and the migration balance). With the support of the Crystal Ball, supporting program for Excel, which provides the possibility of the simulations, there was determined the stochastic character of the three variables. There are created the low, medium and high variant of the projections, as well as three other possible variants of population growth that might occur. These variations are called economic crisis, friendly migration policy and restrictive migration policy.
