Comparison of national public policies of Roma integration in Central Europe
Tuzar, Vojtěch ; Perottino, Michel (advisor) ; Říchová, Blanka (referee)
The societies of most European countries, especially those in Central Europe, are plagued by a high incidence of social and civic exclusion of Roma. The living situation of a significant part of the Roma community is a long-standing human rights challenge for modern welfare states. Since the collapse of the bipolar world, with the flowering of liberal values of equality, it has been assumed that Roma would be relatively swiftly integrated into mainstream society and that unjustified disparities in access to public services would be eliminated. Over the last thirty years, all states affected by significant levels of exclusion of the Roma minority have attempted to address this sensitive issue through a wide range of policies, but without any relevant and lasting impact. The present thesis examines national public policies in the field of Roma minority inclusion in Slovakia, Poland, and Czech Republic and Hungary in the current period. The main objective of the thesis is to compare the national integration policies of selected Central European countries by applying Actor-centred Institutionalism Theory and the A-A-A Model. The result of the scientific research is to present a comparative overview study that will generally reveal parallels and discrepancies in the states approach to Roma exclusion and...

Minority{\crq}s problems and their engagement into the social life {--} with respect to Romany community (social aspect)
FRÍD, Lukáš
To highlight the most serious problems of Romany ethnic minority in Czech Republic and to reveal the reasons of that problems, it was my main aim in the thesis. I traced the long history of the Romany ethnic group (see the 2nd chapter) and I tried to find out the roots of nowdays problems of Romans in ours, especially in social area and in the way of coexistence with czech majority. The 3rd chapter reflects the present day situation of Romany in the Czech Republic {--} their social and societa status. In the last part of the thesis (chapters 4, 5, 6), I described three topics where I want to show the obvious link between the insufficient Romany education {$\rightarrow$} the deficit in skilled qualification {$\rightarrow$} the high unemployment rate in Romany community {$\rightarrow$} and the subsequent social exlusion with all the pathological phenomenons such as criminality, drugs and prostitution.

Comparison of Methods of Left Appendage Exclusion During Surgical Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation
Kohut, Marián ; Kuntscher, Vilém (advisor) ; Skalický, Tomáš (referee) ; Rohn, Vilém (referee)
Comparison of methods of left atrial appendage exclusion during surgical ablation of atrial fibrilation Abstract Atrial fibrillation is the most common heart arrhytmia affecting a significant part of the population over 60 years of age and it is an eminent source of cardio-embolic events. Leading source of intra-cardial thrombi is the left atrium of the heart, specifically the left atrial appendage. Randomised studies show significant reduction of cerebral ictus by the use of Warfarin in patients with atrial fibrillation, however the use of anticoagulation has its restrictions, side effects and contraindications. There are several surgical techniques of excision or exclusion of the left atrial auricle. This dissertation thesis is focusing on the comparison of the two most common surgical techniques - resection of the left atrial appendage using a stapler and the exclusion of the left auricle using a clip applied from the pericardial side. At the same time, we've set an objective of confirming the electrical insulation of the left atrial appendage as a significant source of fibrillation impulses when using the clip for the left appendage exclusion. In a group of 30 patients with atrial fibrillation and who underwent the surgical atrial fibrillation ablation using a clip or stapler amputation during complex...

The following describes why and who is most at risk of social exclusion, what are its causes and consequences. Since this work deals with the view of socially excluded localities, theoretical part also describes the origin and definition of these localities. The practical part consists of an analysis of interviews with respondents from among the inhabitants of excluded localities and experts. The aim is to determine how these actors of inclusive policies perceived problem of social exclusion and excluded areas.

Coping strategies of the socially excluded
MIČKOVÁ, Barbora
The bachelor's thesis entitled The coping strategy in socially excluded is focused not only on stress from a general point of view, but also on strategies of coping with stress situations. The main goal of the bachelor thesis was to identify coping strategies in socially excluded and to find out whether socially excluded people predominantly had negative coping strategies. The research population consisted of socially excluded persons living in the South Bohemian Region. The selection of respondents was quite random and went on the field. The methodology of the thesis deals with the standardized questionnaire SVF 78, thanks to which all the data was obtained. The questionnaire contained 78 items mapping behaviors in different stress situations, respondents choosing a degree of agreement on a five-point scale. Finally, the data was transformed into 13 areas that present individual coping strategies. These areas were statistically tested in the SPSS program in relation to the established sociodemographic variables, the T-test method. Unfortunately, none of the hypotheses have been proven. Choosing coping strategies has no effect on the age of respondents, and there is nothing to suggest that women use more positive strategies than men. Research has shown that the least used coping strategy is just the negative one. The most neutral strategy has emerged, suggesting that socially excluded to better cope with a stressful situation desires help and social support. The results of the bachelor thesis can be used to compare with the results of other studies focusing on coping strategies and socially excluded persons. Further, the results of my bachelor thesis can be of benefit to future social workers who are preparing for the profession.

Education of physically disabled Children
Syrovátková, Tereza ; Šanderová, Jadwiga (advisor) ; Čada, Karel (referee)
This bachelor's thesis focuses on the problem of education for children with physical disabilities. It discusses the possibility of their integration into the mainstream society and it opens a question of a special educational needs school as an acceptable alterna- tive on the way to a full inclusion. Through qualitative case study, it verifies Tom Schmid's idea that this kind of school may be a possible option only if it is not a total institution as E. Goffman puts it, it keeps the social functions of a school and respects student's individuality while concerning the handicap as part of his personality. The text specifies basic school functions, defines physical disabled people and their educa- tional opportunities and it describes the concept of total institution by E. Goffman as well as latter authors. The case study, based on participant observation, interviews and official document analysis, interprets totality of the institution in relation to its closedness that is not demonstrated by physical barriers as in E. Goffman's concept. The school possesses other features to bind its inmates within the walls. The research findings are interpreted in context of integration. It also looks at the conditions of ac- ceptability of special school education proposed by Tom Schmid.
