Education, values and the teenagers
Tischler, Daniel ; Eliáš, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Opatrný, Aleš (referee)
Resumé Současný stav naší mládeže je k otázkám náboženství poměrně složitý. Na jedné straně česká ateistická kotlina má vůči náboženství, včetně náboženství křesťanského poměrně dost velkou nedůvěru. Na druhé straně česká mládež, stejně tak jako česká dospělá společnost má náboženské potřeby, tudíž se o náboženské otázky sice zajímají, ale odpověď, kterou jim nabízí tradiční církve je zcela neuspokojuje. Tato skutečnost je příležitostí k pronikání nových náboženských směrů, které v posledních letech do naší země poměrně ochotně difundují a zakotvují se . I přes tyto výše vyjmenované skutečnosti má u nás největší vliv na mládež katolická církev. Ovšem, většina z mladých lidí, jež se k církvi hlásí, se s ní ne vždy plně identifikuje. Nežijí život plně včleněný do farnosti, do společenství; ve velké většině jsou to spíše občasné návštěvy bohoslužeb, na venkově přežívající tradiční rity apod. Hodnoty, především ty socializační jako jsou náboženské víry nesou v sobě vždy jisté procesy zobecnění, jisté koncepce, které jsou zaznamenatelné především v rovině etických měřítek. Etické hodnoty stanovují, jakým způsobem realizovat svůj život a svá přání. Proto v otázce hodnot je z hlediska křesťanské pedagogiky (obecně by to mělo platit také) nejvíce hodnotné to, co je eticky dobré a správné. Co je eticky dobré a...

Measuring corruption in developed countries
Bajzíková, Anna ; Baxa, Jaromír (advisor) ; Janda, Karel (referee)
The complex issue of corruption has attracted much attention over the last 20 years. The problem was analyzed mostly in the context of developing and transition countries, though not only the recent financial crisis showed the severity of corruption also in the world's most developed countries. This thesis analyzes twelve currently available corruption assessments for a cross section of 39 developed countries in the period 2007-2010. The thesis categorizes these assessments into three basic generations and characterizes the weaknesses and limitations of particular methods. The analysis is based on determination of relationship between individual corruption measures and recognizes specific aspects of corruption actually measured by particular indices. With the exception of strictly opinion poll-based corruption indices, the first and the second generation of corruption indices correlate well for a set of developed countries. This indicates that the sector specific indices, e.g. expenditure corruption assessment, are in analyzed countries closely related to the overall political corruption levels. An applied hierarchical cluster analysis gives better picture of otherwise inconsistent developed countries corruption rankings and divides countries into ten homogeneous groups. However, the analysis...

Šplíchalová, Eva ; Trávníčková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Machoň, Miloslav (referee)
The United States imposed the longest lasting sanction regime on Cuba in 1960 as a result of strained relations in recent years. Each US administration modified form of the sanctions regime, depending on the attitude toward the Cuban issue. General Assembly, the highest authority of the UN, adopts not legally binding but politically significant resolutions. Resolution condemning US sanctions regime has been adopted annually since 1992. Discussion on changes of the sanction regime in the General Assembly is a sign of reflection on current events and unrigid process of resolutions adoption. The main purpose is to determine whether the changes of the sanction regime were mentioned in the discussions on the adoption of the resolutions. The result of the analysis shows the reflection of the events in the speeches of ambassadors. The amount of mentioned events in speeches depends whether they were positive or negative step toward easing the embargo, and also how important the event was.

Changes in British Parliament in 1988-2008
Tyl, Lukáš ; Buben, Radek (advisor) ; Bureš, Jan (referee)
Political system in Great Britain underwent a significant change in the 1990s. Labour Party was the one responsible for the changes which it both initiated and pushed through. Devolution brought remarkable amount of decentralisation, which is likely to spread further in the following years. The Scottish nationalists, above all, will not give up they aim of independent Scotland in the future. British Parliament Upper Chamber reform, mainly the one taking place in 1999, was very intense. Some, even more intense, proposals were rejected. Judiciary reform that took place will do no harm to the House of Lords. It is improbable that the House of Lords will prevent further changes over next ten years. Just like it failed in the past 100 years in fact.

Eating Disorders: Epidemiology and Risk Factors
Pavlová, Barbara ; Papežová, Hana (advisor) ; Kocourková, Jana (referee) ; Šípek, Jiří (referee)
This thesis explores the epidemiology and risk factors of eating disorders. It focuses on the impact of the political and cultural changes that occured in the Czech Republic in the early 1990s. The term eating disorders includes mental illnesses characterized by disturbances in eating behaviour: anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and various eating disorders not otherwise specifieed. It appears that the incidence of anorexia nervosa was increasing until 1970s and remains stable since. The incidence of bulimia nervosa was rising until the end of 1990s. However, the data come from the western countries only. The epiemiological data from the Central and Eastern Europe region remain sparse. Eating disorders have multifactorial aetiology; which includes the recently emerging factors related to migration and acculatuation. Therefore, we hypothesised that the prevalence and incidence of eating disorders in the Czech Repulic rose in the 1990s and that factors associated with migration experiences may play a role in the development and maintenance of eating disorders. This thesis contains three different papers exploring different aspects of this hypothesis. The first paper shows that the number of hospital admissions for eating disorders in females aged 10-39 quadrupled between 1981 and 2001, and remained high till...
