Changes in diet and physical activity during the COVID age
Lorencová, Marie ; Sládková, Petra (advisor) ; Svěcená, Kateřina (referee)
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the daily routine of everyone in the Czech Republic, even school-age children, whose daily rhythm has been completely changed due to school closures. Children were left without regular exercise at school and in after-school clubs, they were eating irregularly and with a different food composition, and their sleeping patterns shifted. Many children returned to school fat and physically unfit after the government measures ended. For fat children, this change could have a negative impact on their health. The aim of this study was to obtain information on changes in eating and exercise habits of school-aged children before, during and after the lockdown. The information obtained from each period was compared and evaluated. Another aim was to determine whether the observed group of children had gained weight or not due to the changed daily routine during the covid restrictions, and for those who had gained weight, selected values from blood tests taken by a paediatric and adolescent general practitioner were monitored to see whether the values had moved outside the reference limits. By processing the questionnaire responses, I expect to confirm the three suppositions that children worsened their eating habits during the lockdown in both composition and frequency of...

Just take a moment to stop. The process of religious conversion in the context of the covid-19 pandemic: an interpretative phenomenological analysis.
Jiřičková, Eva ; Beláňová, Andrea (advisor) ; Viktorová, Ida (referee)
The focus of the thesis is to examine the process of religious conversion to the Roman Cath- olic Church in the context of the covid-19 pandemic. Its main aim is to describe the experi- ence of individuals with religious conversion and the way in which this experience is re- flected in the context of the covid-19 pandemic. Another partial aim is to map the functions of religion from the perspective of the convert and to put these functions in the context of theories of religious coping (how it manifests itself, whether and to what extent is the concept of religious coping strategies appropriate, as regards religious conversion in the context of the covid-19 pandemic). The thesis adopts a qualitative form of psychologic research in which the methods of interpretative phenomenological analysis are applied. The data were collected by means of semi-structured interviews from five converts to the Roman Catholic Church. The result of the analysis is represented by four central topics in which the quality of the experience of religious conversion is described: space of transformation, parallel for life, liberation, and relationship. The heart of experience thus outlined is then related to the functions of religion and theoretical psychological concepts.

Clients of Residential Youth Care at Risk of Dropout from Upper Secondary Education
Bílá, Pavlína ; Dvořák, Dominik (advisor) ; Straková, Jana (referee)
Early school leaving represents a serious problem in the European and recently also in the Czech context. The aim of this thesis is to research the dropout risks at clients of the Youth Diagnostic Facility using qualitative methods. The subject of the research is a group of six boys aged 15- 17 years. The goal of the research is to map the causes of educational issues through case studies and identify the reasons for dropout among the facility's clients; to explore the approach of schools and their staff to the education of these individuals; to describe the education conditions provided by the diagnostic facility; and to find out how the clients themselves see their education process and whether their attitude and approach to education changed during their stay at the facility. The results show that in some cases placement in a diagnostic or educational facility can increase, by providing suitable conditions, the chances of obtaining secondary education. KEYWORDS school dropout, early school leaving, upper secondary education, adolescent boys, residential care, COVID-19 pandemic

A comparison of teachers' attitudes towards qualitative and quantitative assessment before and after the Covid-19 pandemic
Výborná, Andrea ; Laufková, Veronika (advisor) ; Novotná, Kateřina (referee)
The aim of the diploma thesis is to analyze a sample of 46 Czech first-grade pedagogues, whether there was a change in their perspective on verbal assessment after distance learning due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This work is divided into two parts. The introductory part of the first, theoretical part contains information from scientific publications regarding the concept of assessment in general, its functions, its types and forms. In the next part, the theoretical part deals with quantitative and qualitative assessment with an emphasis on their influence on the student's motivation. In the second, practical part, I compared the results of 2 researches carried out by me in the form of a questionnaire. One was implemented in 2020 and the second, enriched with 2 update questions, was implemented in 2023 on the same sample of respondents. The conclusion of the thesis contains the answer to the question posed at the beginning of my diploma thesis. From the data collected from my 46 respondents, it appears that educators' views on verbal assessment did not change significantly after distance learning during the Covid-19 pandemic, although there was a slightly more positive perception of verbal assessment.

The complexity of the profession of operator of a medical operating center not only during a pandemic
ŽABA, Dominik
The topic of this bachelor thesis is the demanding nature of the job of a medical dispatch center operator, not only during the pandemic. The theoretical part of this thesis describes the work and structure of the emergency medical service, the activities, history, and current state of the medical dispatch center, the job duties and demanding nature of the profession of a medical dispatch center operator, and also describes the Covid-19 pandemic. The practical part of the bachelor thesis contained four objectives and four research questions. The first objective was to map out the demanding nature of the job of a medical dispatch center operator. The second objective aimed to map out the changes in the work of medical dispatch center operators that occurred during the Covid-19 pandemic. The third objective investigated the direct impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on individual medical dispatch center operators. The last objective of this bachelor thesis was to determine how medical dispatch center operators evaluate their preparedness for the job of a medical dispatch center operator. The empirical part of the bachelor thesis was conducted using a semi-structured interview with nine medical dispatch center operators from Pardubice, Jihlava, and České Budějovice. The interview consisted of twenty-four questions, which were divided into nine categories for better clarity. All objectives of this bachelor thesis were fulfilled based on the answers to all research questions. It was found that the job of medical dispatch center operators is undoubtedly demanding, especially from a psychological and communicative standpoint. It was also found that the work of medical dispatch center operators changed during the Covid-19 pandemic, which did not have a significant impact on the operators due to the nature of their profession. We positively evaluate the current preparedness of medical dispatch center operators for their profession. However, the research pointed to insufficient preparedness of medical dispatch center operators before starting this profession.

Dopady pandemie COVIDu-19 na turismus států sdružení ASEAN
Hübschmanová, Lucie
The diploma theses deal with the regional differentiation of ASEAN states in their approach to the COVID-19 pandemic in the context of impacts on the tourism sector during the period 2019-2021. Based on literature, a total of seven impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on tourism are identified and discussed. These selected impacts are further specified and divided into four negative and three positive impacts. Furthermore, the impacts are discussed for individual states based on analyses of quantitative data obtained on selected databases and qualitative data obtained through the recherche of ASEAN states regulations in the context of COVID-19. One of the key prerequisites for determining the regional differentiation of impacts on tourism is chosen the degree of openness/closeness of the state to international tourism, which plays an important role in the region. Based on the chosen methods, it is evaluated that in ASEAN the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on tourism have become more significant, hitting the economic and socio-economic spheres within all states. At the same time, no significant differentiation is discovered within the impact on tourism based on the identified approaches to the solution.
