Child with visual impairment in a mainstream kindergarten from the perspective of teachers
ŠMITMAJEROVÁ, Šárka
The topic of my bachelor´s work is called: "A child with a visual impairment in a common nursery school as viewed by teachers." The aim of the work is a detailed analysis of the common nursery schools´ preparedness for an acceptation of a child with a visual impairment. Within the analysis, it has been found out what the tecahers have been missing for the education or development of such impaired children, whether they have been lacking certain tools, didactic or compensational, whether the have been in a need of other support, and if so, what kind of support would that be. There in the theoretical part the visual impairment is defined, the most common visual impairments of pre-school children are classified as well as the view of the visual impartments issue as a whole is, and the development of the visual perception of children of up to the age of six. Further on, the usage of didactic and compensational tools is being described there. The issue of inclusion from the purview of our legislation as well as a clear list of consultancy services are also a part of the theoretical part. The practical part is based on a qualitative research. The method of semi-structured dialogues with teachers of selected common nursery schools in the South Bohemian region, mainly the České Budějovice area, has been used. The respondents have been working in public nursery schools and in one private. As the research has shown, the respondents have not been preparing for the acceptance of a child with a visual impairment, mainly for reasons of their common daily issues they have been solving (e.g. the adaptation of small, two-year-old children). Those who have had such a child in their class have been preparing for such situations by reading learnt literature pieces, having dialogues with the children´s parents and searching for relevant information on the internet. The children with visual impairments have had no more serious problems with socializing in the common nursery school. The research has further shown that the respondents consider the inclusion ill-considered, mainly due to a high number of children in classes, a needed individual approach and a lack of qualified assistants.

On Changes In The Ways of Burial In The Czech Republic In The Last Decades
KADLECOVÁ, Hana
The work deals with changes in the ways of burial in the Czech Republic in the last decades. It has two parts - practical and theoretical. The theoretical part summarizes the evolution in the sphere of burial since the First Republic to the present days (this part contains interviews with witnesses). It leads to the conclusion, any changes have happened, mainly in the attitudes towards burial rituals. Two basic ways of burial (into the ground, cremation) have changed only a little. The new matter are burials without ceremony. The practical part contains questionnaire research. Respondents (priests, deacons and employees of the undertaker's and crematories) made answers about changes in attitudes towards death and burial in the last years. At the end of the work the results of the theoretical part are confronted with the results of the questionnaire research. Both parts of the work (the theoretical as well as the practical) confirm the main changes in a sphere of burial are in attitudes of people. Respondents crittically refer to state of contemporary morale, a decline of respect to the deceased and taboo of the death.
