The aim of this study was to examine the adaptation of transsexual patients, both Female-to-Male and Male-to-Female after the sex reassignment surgery and during the whole therapeutical process from the moment they asked for the sex change. A series of three questionnaires designed for this special purpose was distributed among the patients who underwent sexual reassignment surgery during a decade 1997 - 2006. It was filled out by 71 respondents in total, 52 FtM and 19 MtF. We extracted the questions relevant to the topic, i.e. adaptation to the new body scheme, to the (formally) new sexual identity, satisfaction or regret, presence of psychopathology, adaptation in personal life, sexual life, in family, in the social environment, in occupation and analyzed them. Additionally we made some descriptive statistic of the examined population. We found out, that the satisfaction rate is extremely high, as well as the adaptation to their new body scheme and formally new sexual identity. We observed also good adaptation in personal life, in dyadic relationships, in sexual life, family and social environment. However we had also to admit that there was a difference between the two subgroups - especially in dyadic relationships, in sexual life and in social environment the MtF transsexuals were doing worse.

Relation between own voice perception and skull vibrations
Vokřál, J. ; Horáček, Jaromír ; Černý, L. ; Veselý, Jan
Human own voice is percepted differently by speaker via air and bone conduction. The main aim of previous studies was to find out transfer function between these two ways of listening. Psychoacoustics methods, which were used mostly, gave relatively high differences between different subjects. Simultaneous recording of subject voice and vibrations of skull was used in your study. Low-pass filter effects found in vibrational spectra correspond to the psychoacoustics studies. These findings could be helpful in studying of self-perception of voice colour, the investigation of signer voice, the remediation of articulation disorders.

Flirtation between girls and male teachers at grammar school
Votřelová, Lenka ; Duplinský, Josef (referee) ; Smetáčková, Irena (advisor)
The goal of the work is to gain an overview of attitudes of male teacher to the behaviour of schoolgirls, in which there appears the flirt element. I think that in the area of school relationship (but also elsewhere) there exists very slight border between the "appropriate", "adequate", "inadequate" and "inappropriate" behaviour. I am interested in the slight border from the point of view of a pedagogue. Because I am dealing with the relationship between a teacher and a pupil (especially relationships between a male teacher and a schoolgirl), 1 would like to focus on the both persons involved in the interaction of this relationship. I am interested in the type of circumstances influencing the pedagogical relationship, what could be "a risk" for the both groups individually, or if the essential circumstances meet. In the theoretical part I am dealing with the themes "pupil", "teacher" and the pedagogical relationship between them. Considering the goal of the work it is not possible to omit the theme of sexual abuse, which may be a result of a flirt of intimate relationship between a teacher and a pupil. There is a risk, which changes an innocent flirt into something banned, inappropriate. The teacher uses this way his power and authority, although there does not have to be the bad intention and the effort to...

Gnoseological aspects of Advertisement and Illustrative Photos in Regard to Male and Female Elements
Serbusová, Monika ; Vančát, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Hájek, Václav (referee)
The "Gnoseological aspects of advertisement and illustrative photo with regard to men and women elements" bachelor thesis deals with how certain groups of population perceive visual elements, concretely image advertisement and illustration photography. The research made for the needs of this thesis is based on the hypothesis that media can not only reflect the perception of gender roles, but also contribute to the making of their actual shape. The categories of conceptions that people use when describing visual elements can tell us something about the connection of media, human culture and society. Such a finding is in my view very well useable in a much wider than just gender context. The research took place among university students of bachelor program at Faculty of humanity studies, Charles University, with the aim of ascertain whether some differences between perception of women and men will come to light.

Impacts of corruption and fiscal evasion on selected sectors of the economy
Rodonaia, Elizbar ; Šrédl, Karel (advisor) ; Kopecká, Lenka (referee)
Corruption is one of the most famous and also the most serious problems of the contemporary world. The aim of the processing of the dissertation is to create the actual characteristics of corruption and fiscal evasion, both from theoretical and practical point of view, specify their manifestations in economies of Georgia and Czech Republic in conditions of contemporary globalization, as well as to express the effects of corruption and fiscal evasion on selected sectors of the economy. The international organization Transparency International compared corruption in different countries based on the values of the Corruption Perception Index (CPI), which measures the degree of corruption perception from a subjective point of view. Every year the index captures the current view on corruption in the public sector and surveys used for the compilation include issues related to the misuse of public power for private benefit. The Czech Republic has 51 points and is on the 53th position in the rankings, right behind her at the 54th position ranked Slovakia with 50 points. This placement reflects very bad situation in the state administration, poor functioning of political parties and the lack of anti-corruption policy of the state. From the collected data and time series was concluded a conclusion about the high correlation and the correlated indicators of corruption CPI and GDP per capita in PPP. Although among the least corrupt countries in the world in 2014 ranks developed economies such as Denmark, New Zealand and Finland, less sophisticated Georgia was able to stay 50th position ahead of Czech Republic and Slovakia. It is due to the fact that with the advent of the Governments of President Saakashvili and Prime Minister Ivanishvili underwent a major reform of the state administration, including the security forces. This testifies to the fact that the underdevelopment of the economy is far from being the main factor for the elimination of corruption and fiscal evasion in a particular country. Reducing scope of tax evasions and departures of companies to tax havens are aims of the electronic records of sales and changes in the procurement system. Transparency of decisions on the allocation of public contracts should be solved and carry out an inspection utilization of public funds. Limitation of the influence of officials in the public service would undoubtedly help to eliminate small (petty) corruption. More than the total elimination of corruption endeavour currently states on its reduction or elimination of its consequences.
