Bozděch, Lukáš ; Burcin, Boris (advisor) ; Hulíková Tesárková, Klára (referee)
The development of excess male mortality in EU countries in 1970-2005 Abstract Men generally have shorter life than women. The objective of this study is to analyze the development of this phenomenon in EU coutries, and to compare them. At the beginning, this study considers the historical development of excess male mortality and its general rules. It tries to answer the question, why male mortality rates exceeds female rates. This work also compares biological factors (e.g. genetics) and cultural factors (smoking, alcoholism etc.) This is followed by analytical part of this study, which considers the similarities and dissimilarities of analyzed countries. In this part, male excess mortality rates in different age groups and their development during analyzed period are examined. On the basis of discovered facts, it then tries to create a typology of EU countries by level and structure of excess male mortality. In the end, the study compares non-comunist and postcomunist countries and tries to indicate the future development of this phenomenon. Keywords : excess male mortality, mortality, gender differences, European Union, life expectancy

Development of population of Staňkov in 19th century
Bozděch, Lukáš ; Fialová, Ludmila (advisor) ; Šídlo, Luděk (referee)
Development of population of Staňkov in 19th century Abstract This work focuses on description of population development in Staňkov in years 1827-1900. Data were gained by the method of anonymous excerption of registers of births, deaths and marriages. These registers are currently located in State regional archive in Pilsen. Staňkov always had a Czech majority, even though it is located in Western Bohemian region close to German boarder. Inhabitants of Staňkov worked mainly in agriculture and trades. Great development in industry and mining took place in Staňkov in the analyzed period. Population development is analyzed from the point of view of fertility, mortality and nuptiability. The results from Staňkov are also compared to other towns in the same time period. Keywords: historical demography, 19th century, development of population, Staňkov

Changes in reproductive behaviour in the beginning of the demographic revolution (example of Staňkov)
Bozděch, Lukáš
Changes in reproductive behaviour in the beginning of the demographic revolution (example of Staňkov) Abstract The aim of this study is to analyse reproductive behaviour of population in the Czech lands in the 19th century, a period in which demographic revolution began. The research is based on data from Staňkov, a town in southwestern Bohemia, which, unlike the majority of adjacent region, experienced a substantial industrialization in the 19th century. This resulted in a significant population growth during the analysed period. Family lists were compiled from the registers of births, marriages and deaths using the method of family reconstitution. Nuptiality, marital fertility and infant mortality were the main analysed topics. Population was also divided into groups based on social stratification and these groups were analysed to determine, whether their reproductive behaviour differed from each other. The results from Staňkov were compared to other previously studied localities in the Czech lands. This study revealed that in the 19th century changes in reproductive behaviour within social groups were quite small or negligible. Big changes in nuptiality, fertility or infant mortality in the beginning of demographic revolution can therefore be mainly attributed to the shifts in the social structure of the...
