NGOs in Ethiopia - The Case of People in Need
DAVIDOVÁ, Klára
My intention about diploma thesis is to focus on the Czech workers from the Czech organization People in Need (PIN), who are fully involved in participating in the mission in Ethiopia or whom were given the possibility to join the working team of PIN in Ethiopia. I focused on the non-governmental organization People in Need, because it belongs to the biggest NGO in the Czech Republic and has the stable mission in Ethiopia. My intension is to analyze Czech workers of PIN, who are working on the mission in Ethiopia and who spent a longer period (at least 12 months) working in Ethiopia. My research questions are focused on obstacles of these workers in the sense of integration to different culture such as Ethiopia, transnational practices and the level of connectedness to the World, society and country of origin etc. For the theory framework, I have chosen the theory of transnationalism.

Personality and sociodemographic characteristics at drug users in institutional treatment
DAVIDOVÁ, Klára
Many Psychiatrists and Psychologists agree that researching Addictive Personality is a difficult subject. It is associated with many problems as research into the Personality traits is complex. Therefore some mental health experts find it useful to view addiction as `compulsive{\crq} and `self-destructive{\crq} behavior. By accumulating existing and ongoing research of the Personality{\crq}s role in addiction, primarily that of Drug users and Alcoholism; most scientists have concluded that there is no one set of Psychological characteristics that define all addictions. However, scientists have found that there are several Personality factors that contribute to Addictions. These include: Impulsive behavior, difficulty in relaying gratification, antisocial behavior and a disposition towards sensation seeking. They are often nonconformists and have little or no interest in the goals and achievements that society places value on. A feeling of alienation and a tendency for deviance is also found to be common among types of addiction, along with a heightened sense of stress. The first theoretical part of this thesis concerns the definition of Drugs, types of Drugs and Drug Addiction. The second part concerns Personality Traits, Addictive Personalities and Empathy. The goal of this research is to identify some Personality characteristics of drug users whom are in institutional treatment. The research was carried out in Červený Dvůr, an institutional mental home for drug users and gamblers. Research was devised through a questionnaire that was given to 41 drug users being treated at the home. For the practical part of this research six Hypotheses were stated. Hypotheses H1 claim that clients of mental home Červený Dvůr show higher level of neuroticism in comparison to equal population. Hypotheses H2 claim that clients of mental home Červený Dvůr show higher variability extraversion and intraversion in comparison to equal population. Hypotheses H3 claim that clients of mental home Červený Dvůr show higher level of openness to experience in comparison to equal population. Hypotheses H4 claim that clients of mental home Červený Dvůr show lower level of Agreeableness in comparison to equal population. Hypotheses H5 claim that clients of mental home Červený Dvůr show lower level of conscientiousness in comparison to equal population. Hypotheses H6 claim that clients of mental home Červený Dvůr show lower level of empathy in comparison to equal population.

DAVIDOVÁ, Klára
The profession of rescuers is very stressful and requires high level of resistance against stress, connected to pro-social tendencies, which are altruism and empathy. The theoretical part is divided into five topics related to the research. These topics are: helping professions, competence of helping professions, pro-social behaviour, integrated emergency system in the Czech Republic and the last theoretical part concerns personality. The objective of this research was to identify some personality characteristics of rescuers in South Bohemian region, in consideration of pro-social behaviour. The research was carried out in rescue service in South Bohemian region and at the University of South Bohemia. Research was devised through a questionnaire that was given to 77 rescuers (12 of them were studying the subject rescuer at the University of South Bohemia).
