Furthermore, the theoretical part deals with support measures aimed at mitigating the impact of social disadvantage of children in their edukation, because they are not successful in them, which results in their early departure from the education systém, and this eventually brings them problems both in professional life as well as in personal life and ultimately, this fact of life society, politics and, consequently, of the state´s economy. The purpose of the practical part was based on qualitative research, data collection interviews with selected teachers to get an overview of the methods and approaches used in the education of socially disadvantaged students in the current full-time teaching and then in connection with coronavirus epidemic measures in distance learning.

Behavioral addiction to online social networking, social literacy and social status
MAJEROVÁ, Žaneta
For today´s children it is common to live in two places at once - in the off-line environment of the classroom and in the online world of social networks. The movement in both places requires an individual to abound with certain abilities and skills. At the same time, the individuals in both places - online and offline, encounter with some dangers - in the social media case it can be considered addictive behaviour. The question is whether the abilities and skills that the individual uses in the real world and which affect his position in the classroom may be somehow related to the emergence and development of addictive behaviour on social networks. The aim of the theoretical part is to inform readers about the problematic of addictive behaviour on social networks, to explain the importance of social contact and outline the connection between online and offline environments. The practical part contains the research, which is aimed to find out, if there are any correlations between addictive behaviour on social networks, social literacy and social status of pupils.

Social networks and surviving the Holocaust
Bělín, M. ; Jelínek, T. ; Jurajda, Štěpán
Survivor testimonies link survival in deadly POW camps, Gulags, and Nazi concentration camps to the formation of close friendships with other prisoners. We provide statistical evidence consistent with these fundamentally selective testimonies. We study the survival of the 140 thousand Jews who entered the Theresienstadt ghetto, where 33 thousand died and from where over 80 thousand were sent to extermination camps. We ask whether an individual’s social status prior to deportation, and the availability of potential friends among fellow prisoners influenced the risk of death in Theresienstadt, the ability to avoid transports to the camps, and the chances of surviving Auschwitz. Pre-deportation social status protected prisoners in the self-administered society of the Theresienstadt ghetto, but it was no longer helpful in the extreme conditions of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. Relying on multiple proxies of pre-existing social networks, we uncover a significant survival advantage to entering Auschwitz with a group of potential friends.

Explanation of professional and educational visions of pupils in the ninth grade
Vařeková, Karolína ; Remr, Jiří (advisor) ; Petrúšek, Ivan (referee)
1 Abstract This thesis is focused on the interpretation of the ninth-grade pupil's conceptions of hierarchical segmentation of society based on profession and obtained degree of education. Its main goal is to clarify student's perception of inequalities of social status among different work positions and to understand impact of study achievements on their vertical grouping. Theoretical part deals with sociological theories to explain the role of occupation and education in formation and maintenance of social stratification. Analytical part validates theoretical explanations by qualitative research conducted within one ninth class. Research questions are answered by qualitative analysis of data acquired by in-depth semi-structured interviews. Student's conceptions correspond to the basic three-dimensional hierarchical classification of the social layers defined in theoretical part. Mutual inequalities of those layers depend mainly on the level of work position which is related to particular layers. Pupils perceive different social status among vertically segmented vocational groups to be justified because individuals within those categories are distinguished by different personality traits. Achievement of specific social status depends to a great extent on educational performance, which is a measure of...

Socio - economic impact on self nurses
Štraubová, Kateřina ; Marsová, Jana (advisor) ; Vidovičová, Helena (referee)
This paper discusses the influence of the social and financial awards on the self-assessment of nurses. In the theoretical part I deal with explanation of terms as self-konception, self-respect, prestige and social status of the profession. Since the prestige of the profession influences besides other things historical development of professions, I have been also interested in the history of nursing. To be able to measure the economic effects of self-reflection of the nurses, I compared the amount of the financial evaluation of selected professional groups in the country. In the practical part I have found out nurses' opinion to view their financial assessment with regard to educational achievement and job description and their opinion on membership in a particular social group. I also wonder, as a general nurse assesses the media image of their profession and what is most troubling to him. I also tried to determine what is the most common motivation for general nurses to remain in their profession. For this project, I have chosen the technique of quantitative research, the method of anonymous questionnaire of my own design. Research conducted in the period from 1st October to 15th October 2011. I have distributed questionnaires in the Faculty Hospital Bulovka in Prague, Department of Radiation...
