Selected economic context of social care services
Čechová, Ilona ; Pikola, Pavel (advisor) ; Jaromír, Jaromír (referee)
Summary
In the theoretical part of the thesis Selected Economic Aspects of Social Care Services, I present a definition and an overview of the statutory regulation of social care services in the historical perspective and from the viewpoint of the valid law. The subsequent section, which is the core segment of the theoretical part of my thesis, sets forth a specification and a general outline of all social care services available in our jurisdiction.
The chapter about the funding of social services identifies the available financial resources, and the range of options associated with the payment of social care services. The services and particularly the financing methods constitute a frequent topic for discussion among all main initiators (promoters, movers) of social services.
In the practical part of the thesis, I present an identification of financial resources of one selected social service provider, and an analysis of its income from transfers, users payments for meals, from the accommodation and care allowances, and other revenue generated from 2005 to 2015. This part of the thesis also shows a comparison of the amount of individual transfers and payments from users, including per-user care allowance per year and month in the period from 2005 to 2015. The analysis is then used to identify the system for subsidy allocation, to draw conclusions on specific findings, and to present some recommendations. The last section of the practical part compares the selected social service provider with other organizations providing the same services in the year 2014.

Maternal behaviour in Giraffes (Giraffidae)
Gloneková, Markéta ; Baranyiová, Eva (advisor) ; Luděk, Luděk (referee)
Allomaternal care is one of the most interesting types of cooperation among females. Its most extreme form is allonursing, nursing of a non-filial young, which is still not completely understood, even though many hypotheses have been postulated. This type of cooperation among giraffes had not been expected for long time. This was based on the initial opinion that giraffes do not have social system and form only weak social bonds. However, my bachelor and master theses showed high occurrence of allonursing in captive giraffes.
The first aim (1) of this thesis was to test all possible hypotheses explaining allonursing in captive giraffes. However, a lot of the information needed to test them were missing, which resulted in the formulation of further aims. The second aim (2) was to test the hierarchy in captive giraffes. The third aim (3) was to describe the growth and weight of captive giraffes. The fourth aim (4) was to compare nursing patterns in the zoo and in the nature reserve Bandia, Senegal and the last aim (5) was to test the social bonds among giraffes in the nature reserve Bandia, Senegal.
(1) From 2007 to 2011, the nursing behaviour of 24 females and 37 calves was observed. Eighty-three percent of the females allonursed a nonfilial calf and 86.5% of calves allosuckled from a nonmaternal female. Allonursing in giraffes was explained by milk-theft from the point of view of the calves and possible reciprocity among females. (2) The agonistic interactions of 31 giraffes were recorded in four herds. A linear hierarchy was been found among giraffes and rank was significantly affected by age and time spent in the herd. (3) The weight data from 43 giraffes in Prague zoo were collected from 2009 to 2013 and provided the basic information about giraffe growth and weight. (4) I also observed the nursing behaviour of seven and four female-calf pairs in the fenced Bandia reserve, Senegal, and in Prague zoo, respectively, both for 22 days. The differences in nursing patterns were likely to reflect anti-predator behaviour, the population density of animals and the distribution of food resources. (5) Finally, I investigated the social preferences of 28 introduced giraffes in semi-captivity in the nature reserve Bandia, Senegal and provided the results supporting the existence of a fission fusion social system among giraffes with social preferences among adult females.
The overall results provide unique findings on allonursing in general as well as changing our perspective on giraffe social behaviour.

Food and its social context (a case of the pupils in one elementary school)
Hogenová, Hana ; Lošťák, Michal (advisor) ; Zagata, Lukáš (referee)
Food and its social context in connection with children is studied more and more often today. It seems that family characteristics influence childrens eating habits. Those habits affect other parts of childrens social life as integrating into their peer class group
as well. Therefore the goal of this paper was to find out how eating habits of 25 children from 2nd grade of a local elementary school in Litvinov are affected by their family background and how those children are successful in integrating with their classmates. Direct observation of children during their school collective eating time (snack and lunch) was the chosen method. Family eating habits were established by using Likert scale items. There was also determined family socioeconomic status for each child and every pupil was marked on the scale of popularity.
Some differences in childrens eating habits were successfully connected with socioeconomic status of families. Pupils from families with higher socioeconomic status think more often that eating together during celebration is very important. Their snacks are also richer and fathers or mothers partners from those families participate in preparing food for children. In contrast there was discovered weaker concern for quality of childrens eating in families with lower socioeconomic status. Although there is a clear distinction between eating strategies of popular and unpopular children, it is not possible to make clear connection with socioeconomic status of families. The popularity among children
in 2nd grade is rather connected with gender of pupils.

The next drift was to map out the influence of the center Štěpán Trochta on one group of socially excluded children and teenagers from the housing quartem in Teplice Prosetice, which is known for high criminality of teenagers and big concentration of socially deprived people. The target was also to find out if it helps children to easily incorporate to school attendance, to get over difficulties and disadvantage caused by the background they live in.
Qualitative research as well as structured and half structured dialogue, observation and examination of documents was applied to this paper work. Analyzing all the facts led to summarize the results and their evaluation.
Social exclusion is a phenomena we pay more and more attention the last few years. The main priority is to solve the situation of children and teenagers who are socially excluded. If we don´t help them to improve their situation and we don´t influence thein behavior for future, they will automatically behave as their own parents and they will never extricate from the life in excluded environment. Otherwise these locations won´t be disolved, on the citrany there will be more of them. One of the possible solution is the establishment of new low cost centers and free time centers with connection of targeted complex assistance for families living in social excluded places. The research part of this paperwork mapped out the activities and the impal of these activities on inclusion of children and teenagers into every day life.
