Evolutionary theories of homosexuality
Fořt, Jakub ; Kaňková, Šárka (advisor) ; Štěrbová, Zuzana (referee)
This thesis deals with male homosexuality from an evolutionary viewpoint. In the first part, it provides a review of knowledge about the genetic and immunological origin of male homosexuality, this consequently serves as a theoretical base for the main part of the thesis. Regarding the fact that homosexuals leave less offspring than heterosexuals do, it is appropriate to raise a question by which mechanism is male homosexuality maintained in population and what could eventually be its evolutionary role. The thesis summarizes five most influential theories which were constructed in a purpose to answer this question. The thesis also posits and critically evaluates results of empirical research that support particular theories or give evidence against them.

The work maps the historical context of Velenovský's work, deals with the transformations of Velenovský's vision of evolution and the most interesting aspects of his theoretical thinking about biology. At the beginning he fully acknowledges Darwin's theory, in the late age he holds a completely contradictory theory. Key words: history of botany, Josef Velenovský, evolutionary theory, natural selection, altruism

Qualitative research of working methods with fairy tales by Nursery school teachers
HEJHALOVÁ, Tereza
The main goal of the thesis was to identify and describe the methods that kindergarten teachers use when working with fairy tales, their strengths and weaknesses, the selection criteria of fairy tales. The theoretical part is focused on the major psychological theories related to the development of the child (Child Development - Vágnerová M. , Theory of cognitive development - J. Piaget, The structural model of personality and psychosexual development - S. Freud , psychoanalytic theory C.G. Jung ) . The methodological part explains methods used in the thesis: qualitative research, grounded theory and semistructured interview methods of coding. In the practical part, interview and subsequent analysis is done. The fundamental importance of the thesis lies in the revealing and descripting the most important methods that kindergarten teachers use during the work with fairy tales.
