The present bachalor{\crq}s thesis titled The work of Probation and Mediation Service with a group of people on parole and under police supervision deals in detail with the activities of the said institution in the Czech Republic. Long-term sentence have no positive results, therefore alternatives are being sought, alternatives that would replace traditional forms of criminals´ punishments. A large contribution has been seen in activities carried out by the staff of Probation and Mediation service. Thanks to it, many of those condemned are allowed to accept another/alternative form of punishment apart from imprisonment. Theoretical part of the thesis gives an account of the activities performend by Probation and Mediation Service in the Czech Republic, it describes its origins, organizational structure, principles, objectives, and function.

The surveyed group contained the total of 15 clients of Probation and Mediation Service in České Budějovice. The aim of this work was to find out whether the people released on perole have a chance to come back to their original family bacgrounds, if they can find jobs and shelters, the impact of the punishment on the family as a whole, the amount of information they have, and the positive and negative aspects they saw in being sentenced and sent to prison. The findings of the survey are as follows: If the prisoners released from prison heve a functional family background even befor they started their imprisonment, they are welcome to come back even after having been released from prison. Upon their release, they tend to find some dwelling and proper job. The least negative impact has been detected in connection with relations between parents and children, noticeably negative impact has been observed in connection with relationships between partners. The amount of economical information provided for people released from prison is insufficient.

This graduation thesis tries to define positive notion of the ritual in the family life. The work consists of theoretical and empirical part. In the theoretical part we try to suggest positive psychological role of ritual. Psychology often considers ritual as a phenomenon which is related to the obsession. Current psychological literature perceives ritual in the positive way - as a pattern of 8pccific bchnvior which is oftcn rcpcnted in the time and which has a fundamental emotional effect. Ritual can be indivual or collective, it can be ritual which is performed every day, in ordinary situations or it can be transitional ritual which plays an important role during the times of crises or changes. Rituals and their emotional experiences have a big effect on individua! and/ or family. ln the empirical part of our thesis we try to define the ritual of parents and the ritual of partners or married couple.

Each couple has own rituals which are important for their lives and for their needs. However we can...

Chourová, Jolana ; Eliáš, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Kuźniar, Mariusz (referee)
In my thesis I deal with the position of the Christian kindergarten in the system of pre-school education in the Czech Republic . I describe the historical development of the kindergarten as an institution. The development of pre-school children is assessed in terms of education, psychology and religion. Family and teacher are the basic partners in the lifelong patterns of shaping the personality of every child. The Christian kindergarten meets the same objectives as other pre-school facilities which are based on The Framework Education Programme. The difference between the Christian kindergarten and ordinary kindergarten is their founder and the Educational Programme which is oriented and adapted to the requirements of Christian education of pre-school children. The Christian kindergarten has a logical place and tradition in the system of pre-school education.

Changes in gender roles and thein manifestations
Černá, Ivana ; Pauknerová, Daniela (advisor) ; Hubinková, Zuzana (referee)
The main goal of this bachelor thesis is to map situation in families, where man takes a maternity (parental) leave and woman is working. Furthermore, to learn what changes do we notice in comparison to the traditional gender roles in the past, the way that most people imagine them. I find this subject altogether actual, considering, that I myself know some families, where roles and responsibilities in the household care and children nurture are not, as they used to be in the times of our grandparents, when men provided material security and women took care of household and children. In the practical part of my thesis, I used two causuistries and further interviews, in which I found out very interesting opinions of the respondents, even from the point of view where they had their gender roles switched. The results suggest that nowadays, we really can see some shift in gender roles from the traditional view of the society, even though it is still minor. Often it's in families, where woman has higher income, so the roles switch for financial reasons.

Although two groups of actors changed representing the ruling elite - the military, the Islamists and the army again, both of them eventually apply the same approaches in the context of the foreign policy. This approach is characterized by particularly strong ties to the country's traditional partners, especially the U.S. and the rich Gulf states.
