The diploma thesis "Autobiographical Memory in Suicide Attempters" deals with recall of specific autobiographical memories in suicide attempters. The theoretical part of the thesis defines basic concepts associated with autobiographical memory, presents its structure, role throughout the life-span, and describes relation of autobiographical memory to emotions, depression and self. The second part of the thesis presents basic concepts of suicidal behaviour, describes selected theoretical approaches and models of development of suicidal behaviour, methods and consequences, assessment and prevention of suicidal behaviour, and presents most common myths about suicide.

Analysis of suicidal behavior manifested by firearm usage in the Czech Republic in the period of 2004 to 2008 regarding selected demographic characteristics.
BAMBAS, Vladislav
Bachelor thesis deals with the issue of successfully committed suicides by firearm usage in the period of 2004 to 2008. The first part summarizes the current knowledge, introduces the definition of suicide, a brief history of suicide, motivation and ways of suicide commitment. Details on suicides committed by shooting themselves are mentioned. The second part is devoted to the research that was carried out, deals with analyzing the current state of successfully committed suicides by shooting themselves. The aim was to determine whether there is an increase in suicide rate committed by shooting themselves. In the period of 2004 to 2008 suicidal behavior analysis was carried out according to the age, sex, motives for suicide, belonging to a social group, education and the type of gun ownership. The aim was to verify if the police suicide registration is sufficient in relation to the reasons for its introduction. To meet the research goals the secondary data analysis was used, the baseline data were obtained from internal databases of the Police of the Czech Republic. Data analysis revealed that the increase in the rate of suicide by firearm usage was not recorded, more men than women commit suicide by shooting themselves and in most cases legally possessed firearms are used to suicide commitment. Firearm suicides are committed more likely by adults and the elderly, minimally by adolescents. In the largest group of self-murderers the motif was not identified, the most frequent motif identified is a physical illness. The most vulnerable social group are the unemployed, and most suicides are committed by people with secondary education. The police suicide statistics is used by the prevention department of the Ministry of the Interior of the Czech Republic for analytical, statistical and inspection activities, the tracked markers are sufficient.
