INSTITUTIONAL CARE
PAPÁČKOVÁ, Lucie
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to acquaint the reader with institutional care in the Czech Republic, performed in facilities belonging to the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs, and the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports. Institutional care is one of the most important measures in which the State may intervene in family relationships. Minors have the legal right to secure a proper education and overall development. If the parents or family are unable to fulfill this legal claim, then the State is obliged to provide the child with an alternative rearing environment, either by assigning the child to the care of individuals or a facility for children requiring immediate assistance, and in the event of a necessity, also the most important measure: imposing institutional care. Priority is always given to individual care before institutional care, either with another individual, guardian, or foster parent. The Act also defines exactly where it's possible to proceed to extreme measures and impose institutional care. Given the severity of this measure, this decision only appertains to courts. No other governmental or non-governmental institution has such authority. This paper is aimed at introducing institutional care and the protection of children in the Czech Republic, especially highlighting the fragmentation of institutional care. The fundamental part of this paper describes the process of imposing institutional care, and especially its implementation in individual institutional facilities, differentiated according to the children's age, their physical and mental abilities, and the reasons why institutional care was decided on. The priority should always be the child's interest and welfare. This work also highlights the shortcomings of institutional care, particularly the lack of cooperation between the socio-legal protection of children and institutional facilities, the limited cooperation between government departments, the lack of suitable family recovery, and the small number of social workers and judges in the field. Finally, I also mention the achievements that brought about the transformation of institutional care, particularly the conversion to small family type facilities, surrounded by a network of services for the families of allocated children, the children themselves, and also other families who find themselves in a difficult situation. Not all children can be placed in foster care, not all families can be recovered. Especially for some older children and those who have gone through a specific life experience (abuse, repeated return from foster families), an institutional facility is an environment where they feel more secure and where they can fulfill their need to belong in a group of peers. In my work, I also want to draw attention to the current system of child care for children and youth, which does not address the period following the departure of young people from institutional care, although the stage of becoming independent is the most important for their future life.

Fado in the context of the city Lisbon
Kuhnová, Kristýna ; Matějů, Martin (referee) ; Czumalo, Vladimír (advisor)
The thesis focuses on the Lisbon cultural phenomenon of the traditional urban music, fado, with an emphasis on its professional practice. The paper informs about different cultural/historical approaches to the origins and evolution of fado music in the city of Lisbon, stressing the point of view of the Portuguese musicologist Rui Vieira Nery. It then moves on to explain the impact of dictatorship and later Salazar's fascist regime on the professionalization of fado during the years 1926 - 1974, which entailed a radical change of status of a fadista artist, who was abruptly separated from the original popular practise of fado. The next chapter focuses on the history of specific places of professional fado performance called fado houses, which emerged during the 1930s. The theoretical knowledge of the chapters "History of Fado Music", "Professionalization of Fado Music" and "History of Fado Houses" unites in a case study of a fado house called Mesa de Frades in the historical quarter of Lisbon - Alfama. The case study is based on a two-month field research in the city of Lisbon and aims at fado as a performance genre involving performers and audience in a communicative process using verbal, musical, facial and bodily expression. It includes observation of the musical roles of fado performers and their mode of...

Rozvoj měst v Aleppu
Touchan, Shourouk
Syria is one of this example. The country located in a region which considered to be the place of the birth of urban development, with a history of more than 5000 years. Syria, a central organized state, supports in particular the two metropolis Damascus & Aleppo.It is difficult to find a city like Aleppo in which economical and architectural activities joined together for thousands of years. Aleppo was conquered by many civilizations which left their traces in the urban and architectural character of the city. Aleppo was inhibited by different nationalities that belong to three religions. They lived harmoniously with each other and cooperated to improve living conditions. The City was always able to keep in touch with the external world. It both influenced it and was influenced by it. This is due to the ability of its population to communicate with it.

Poems on walls. Poetry in public space
Chlumová, Jitka ; Krol, Ellen Jacoba (advisor) ; Sedláčková, Lucie (referee)
In the last years placing of poems in public space has become popular in the Netherlands. The poems are to be found in the cities, mainly on the walls and in the pavements, as well as in the nature. They are specific form of poetry which was not described thoroughly so far. This thesis describes the phenomenon (for which the term wallpoems is used) from three different points of view: it is poetical object by itself, part of the city as a social space and part of literature. (1) The wallpoem is poetical object in which the interaction is very strong between the text and the medium. The interpretation of the poem is strongly influenced by used material (bricks, stone, glas, metal), typography and location (wall, pavement, nature). The location has own social cultural context that influences the perception. Thanks to the unusual placing outside of any book the poems can be seen by another public. Very important is for the reader the surprise and unexpectedness of such a meeting with poetry. (2) The wallpoem is part of the city space. The most poems are part of organised projects which also influences their perception. Some of them have common theme or background idea given by the initiators. These projects can represent particular aspects of the city or create an image of it. Such image is meant as...

Unpaid work in the Czech Republic
Daňová, Lenka ; Langhamrová, Jitka (advisor) ; Cséfalvaiová, Kornélia (referee)
This work aims to find out the range of unpaid work in the Czech Republic, specifically in the capital city Prague and its surroundings and to find out the measure of unpaid work of women and men, and if there are significant gender differences in the terms of unpaid work. I tried to reach this target by evaluating experience from abroad, mainly from OECD and research based on a survey in the Slovakia in 2011. In the Czech Republic I reached my aim through previously run surveys, but mainly based on my survey questionnaire, realized in Prague and in its surroundings. The work also contains a theoretical part, in which I tried to specify importance of unpaid work and gender inequalities mainly in the labour market. In the work, I summarize past results of surveys that addressed the issue of unpaid work. The main asset of my work is research in the Czech Republic, as there has not been any similar survey done by now. The benefit is also proposing possible amendments because the assumption that women spend more time on unpaid work than men was confirmed. These changes could help the inequality to compensate.
