Caithamlová, Eva ; Čabanová, Bohumila (advisor) ; Bánovec, Ladislav (referee)

It discourses their position on the Czech labour market and describes problems they often face. That is especially low rate of employment and lack of appropriate jobs. There are mentioned measure proposals that could improve the situation of people excluded from the labour market, and the European Union policy in this sector too.

Social pathology from the perspective of socially excluded Roma
JUREČKOVÁ, Monika
The submitted diploma thesis has been focused on the chosen socio-pathological phenomena in terms of socially excluded Roma adolescents. The thesis is divided into two parts. In the theoretical part there I clarify first of all concepts as a social standard, a deviation and its basic theories, a culture of the poverty, I also deal with a delinquent and criminal behaviour in a context of the ethnicity, further I describe a social pathology in the Roma minority, a social exclusion of the Roma ethnic group including issues of social-excluded localities and in the end of the theoretical part I deal with an explanation of the concept Romany or the Roman ethnic group. An aim of the diploma thesis is to identify how Roma adolescent men and women living in social excluded localities perceive the social pathology. Because of the objectives and particularity of the research sample as well as the research investigation, I chose a qualitative research, a method of an interview and a technique of a half-standardized dialogue with open questions. The target sample includes 14 respondents aged 13 to 20 years. I addressed respondents in two socially excluded localities as follows: ? a dormitory of defaulters ? a dormitory of the housing estate type The result of the thesis is a recognition which phenomena are perceived by the social excluded Roma adolescents as pathological ones and which are their standard and whether they represent a factual standard for them or in what extent they have a personal experience with them.

Possibilities of Activation of a Client Set at Liberty from Imprisonment from the Point of View of a Social Worker
LUDÍNOVÁ, Ivanka Anna
As a subject-matter of my bachelor's thesis I have chosen "Actuation possibilities for a person released after serving the imprisonment sentence (SIS) in a social worker's view", because the theme is so actual in respect of the number of the imprisoned and the urgent need to motivate such clients towards active cooperation with social workers in order to succeed in their reintegration to our society. The bachelor's thesis is divided into two parts. Within the theoretical chapter, I am defining key terms and latest approaches which are both the most current in the field of social services and welfare, and essential for the research pursuit. I also deal with the hottest issues of people recently experiencing the SIS, their characteristics, life situation and the imprisonment impact on their personalities. In other chapters, I address to particular activities of social curators, their scope of work and tasks being applied upon treatment of clients released from prison after SIS. As for the elaboration of the research chapter of this bachelor's thesis and the accomplishment of stipulated objectives, a quantitative observation/questioning survey is used. The original and main aim of my bachelor's thesis has been to detect all needs of prospective clients, who are to be released from prison after serving the imprisonment sentence in near future, while residing permanently in the territory of the Pilsen City, to find out more on potential difficulties of a social curator-client cooperation within their mutual continual work and post penitentiary care, and also, in terms of the ascertained needs of such clients including the mentioned collaboration risks, to recommend a practicable actuation process of a client released from prison after serving a sentence. Based on the specified objectives, two hypotheses have been formulated. The research section describes the initial goals of investigation, methodology and techniques chosen for gathering the required information, and I am describing the search sample and the execution of data acquisition, too. Furthermore, I focus on the data interpretation and last but not least the discussion over the interviewing results. The intention of my thesis is fulfilled. The assumption no. 1 cannot be confirmed at all while the second assumption has now been fully proved to be true. This approach could be used as a guideline for other colleagues ? social curators, and/or it might also broaden the awareness horizons of the laics and general public on this tough and complicated situation of the clients released from prison sentence along with a social curator's challenging job.

Social determinants of health in select romani communities
KAJANOVÁ, Alena
This dissertation thesis titled ``Social Determinants of Health in Selected Romany Communities{\crqq} adverts to the issues of relationship between the health condition and social and economic factors, as well as other external or culture-conditioned influences affecting them. I have based my work on the concept of ten social determinants of health by Wilkinson and Marmot (2005). The theoretical section adverts to the interrelation of particular determinants in the Roma communities and the specific role of stress affecting all determinants. Thereat, I have based my study on generally available findings, primarily those acquired from research surveys, against which I have compared the results of my research section. The objective of this presented thesis is to describe the influence of social determinants of health in the wider context of everyday living in selected Roma communities. In doing so, I have primarily focused on impediments to the full participation of the described target population in the living of the majority society due to social exclusion. The target population consists of five multi-generation Romany families from two separate locations. Two families enjoy a higher stratification status (including a representative of the Romany elite) and three live in socially excluded locations. Having considered the specifics of the target population and orientation on the common day of the respondents, I have opted for socio-ethnographic field research, i.e. a qualitative by a research method, with the prevailing technique being participative observation and interviews. Processed research data is presented, alongside discussions, in subchapters following upon the topics of the theoretical part of my thesis, i.e. particular groups of health determinants. The results indicate that it is not only the underprivileged socio-economic conditions that take a share in the worsened health condition of persons living in socially excluded locations but these also involve therefrom originating stressors, which are often specific (symbolic element of social exclusion, alternative sources of livelihood). I also attribute a special meaning to culture-conditioned norms and opinions that, in some cases, bear a negative influence on the health condition via behavioral factors (such as a low number of Roma mothers lactating their children or attitude to the abuse of habit-forming substances). Apart from the identification of the influence proportions breakdown by social determinants of health in Roma communities, I see the benefit of my thesis in its qualitative nature, predestining it for utilization in a wider, longitudinal quantitative research of the target Romany group.
