The imperative of feminine beauty
Myslivcová, Klára ; Duffková, Jana (advisor) ; Mudd, Dana (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with one of the most viable ideas within the Euro-American territory that accentuates the distinction between men and women and therefore maintains the "mystic demarcation line" that Virginia Woolf talked about. It is the idea that only women are obliged to "be beautiful". The primary objective of this work is to lift this conviction from the common (biologically-essentialist), trouble-free understanding and to uncover it in the light of social constructivism as a mere myth; to show that the myth of beauty - as it is called in this thesis - is originally our human work, not the work of nature (or God), and that its hidden ambition is nothing less than preserving the social - patriarchal - status quo. It is a purely intentional myth aimed at the disadvantage of women, which is, however, again and again reproduced unrecognised within the process of socialisation: first of all by the family, school, (mass) media and the industry of (feminine) beauty - these factors are called the guardians of the myth of beauty for the purpose of the thesis.

Mentally challenging moments of intensive care's nurse
Myslivcová, Klára ; Heczková, Jana (advisor) ; Kratinová, Zuzana (referee)
The profession of general intensive care nurse is specific in its high demands on physical, technical, ethical and mental abilities of each individual. The thesis focusses on the mental stress of the nurse, analyses potentially high-risk professional situations the nurse encounters and proposes methods for their management. The topic of mental stress and its handling has, and will, have important impact on the field. The goal of the thesis is to map the psychologically challenging situations that all of the 129 nurses approached in a smaller local medical facility considered as difficult to handle and thus have impact on their ability to cope with a demanding job. The situations are defined and evaluated using predefined hypotheses. The results of an anonymous quantitative questionnaire clearly show that the largest levels of stress and discomfort are caused by situations which are "directly connected to medical care provided by the general intensive care and accident and emergency nurse". The least discomfort is perceived in situations described as "indirectly connected to intensive care / A&E nurse duties", such as irregular working patterns and work during public holidays. The results are presented in a graphical form. We conclude by observing that unlike large-scales studies that commonly...

Screening test of emotive traumatization in children's painting
Myslivcová, Klára ; Vaníčková, Eva (advisor)
The aim of my degree work has been the verification of screening methods. The examination is based on emotional traumatization of the juvenile subject. As far as screening examination is concerned the method of Hardin and Peterson has been used (L.W.Peterson, M.E.Hardin, 1997). Twenty children (including boys as well as girls) were chosen to undergo the research. Children haven't been chosen randomly but with the disposition to risk factor. As a matter of fact conditions of the method were observed and according to the instructions every child drew a human body, on which the presence of certain indicators were identificated. The amount of indicators were counted together. As a result of the research the outcome was classified into 3 groups (0-2 without a danger, 3-5 low danger, 6 and more high danger). 90% of observed children has been without any risk at all. 10% of children pictures were evaluated as a low danger ones. In that case a chat with that child has been done and that may have confirmed the analysis. In conclusion I may claim that the method I have chosen in suitable for screening examination. Even though it is very fast and accurate there is one point I would like to reproach - children are chosen to according to teacher which may be a problem. Therefore my suggestin is to realise this...
