Vliv hřebce na sociální úspěšnost hříbat
PEJCHOVÁ, Tamara
Paternal behaviour in mammals could play an important role in the development of young offspring. The aim of this work is to evaluate the effect of interactions between colts and the stallion (father) in the early phase of their development focusing on the subsequent behaviour and social position of these young stallions in the bachelor group. We found that the behaviour of stallions is age-dependent and the individuals born to primiparous mothers are more dominant. In addition, we have not confirmed that the father is a behavioural model for his male offspring. In conclusion, we suggest that the most important factor which affects a social behaviour of young stallions is their personality.

in English Selected issues of legal and social status of executioners in the Bohemian lands from the 16th to the middle of the 19th century from a legal historical perspective The aim of this thesis is to comprehensively elaborate the legal and social situation of executioners and knackers in the Bohemian lands from the 16th to the middle of the 19th century. In particular, the specific rules and restrictions that applied to executioners, based on the legal regulations and decisions of the public authorities, as well as on the general social situation and the attitude of individual persons. The thesis also describes some myths and prejudices concerning executioners and compares them with reality.

MARTÍNKOVÁ, Nikola
The bachelor thesis focuses on age of gypsy seniors. The main focus of my bachelor thesis is to describe the age of gypsy seniors, their needs and subjective perception of a social status in a family. Also to find out reasons why the gypsy seniors are not being placed in a retirement home and to describe the way how the gypsy people take care of their seniors. The bachelor thesis consists of expressions such as gypsy, age, social status and social work. It also describes the history of gypsies from the beginning of their mentioning until our present. I focus on gypsy family, their tradition and the age of seniors. At the age I focus on the main needs and occurring changes. My research goals was to find out reasons the gypsy seniors are not being placed in the retirement home. I chose three age categories of gypsy seniors for my research. The first category are seniors from 65 to 70 years, the second category are seniors from 71 to 80 years and the third category are seniors from 80 years +. During my research I found out that I am not able to obtain the third category since I had the informants based on the snow ball technique, therefore no one from my informants knew any senior older 80 years. This is the reason why my is my research based on two categories only. Next the research focuses on the second category. This category is about offsprings of the gypsy seniors. Half structured interviews were done with eight gypsy seniors and their eight offsprings. The result of this work was to find out the opinion of the gypsy seniors and their offsprings on the retirement home. Also how the gypsies take care of their seniors and what needs the seniors have. I hope and believe that everyone will benefit from the knowledge of this bachelor thesis.

Characteristics of inter-individual relationship (friend vs. rival) in red deer and its effect on agonistic behavior and endocrinological feedback
Peterka, Tomáš ; Bartoš, Luděk (advisor) ; Fuchs, Roman (referee)
Red deer males aggregate during the period of antler growth to bachelor groups. Social position - Rank - is unstable in these groups. Previous experiments revealed that rank modulated by agonistic behaviour influence the antler growth and antler cycle timing. Antlers are the secondary sexual characteristics of the deer family and one of the fastest growing tissue in vertebrate taxa. Their development is modulated by androgenic hormone, testosterone. In our experiment, we observed agonistic behaviour of 19 males. They were equipped with GPS collar and observation lasted for two hours in the evening an in the morning, once or twice a week from the end of May to the end of August. Deer were handled regularly for blood samples and downloading the telemetrical data from collars. Base on a statistical analysis we found that in our bachelor group 13 stags kept similar interindividual distances which did not exceed the 22 metres level. These stags - the closest associates - differed in the sum of agonistic interactions. Those who reached 8 or less interactions were called Friends, while subgroup of the others reaching much more interactions were classified as Rivals. We found that number of interactions depended on average distance among males in groups (Friends and Rivals). Rivals with increasing distance...

Attitudes towards unmarried mothers and their children in the Czech lands from a historical perspective
Kuprová, Barbora ; Hamplová, Dana (advisor) ; Šubrt, Jiří (referee)
The intention of this study is to approximate the attitude to children born out of marriage and their mothers in the years 1750-1849. The nominal excerpts from parish registers were used to find numbers of births and proportion of illegitimate children at the manor of Škvorec, the area located at the eastern border of Prague. The proportion of children born out of marriage is compared with contemporaneous regulations that could influence attitudes and behavior of contemporary society. The study also investigates the social status of born children, their fathers and godfathers. The results show that the position of unmarried mothers and their children has improved in the followed period. The results suggest that many unmarried mothers already lived with their partners in the companienate marriage in that time.
