Politicizing Sexualities: Mobilization practices and networking within the LGBTQ movement in contemporary Madrid
Wiesnerová, Vendula ; Ezzeddine, Petra (advisor) ; Kolářová, Kateřina (referee)
This ethnographic study intends to explain the recent mobilization practices within the LGBTQ movement in contemporary Madrid in reference to the strategic use of identity and networking in collective action. It describes the Spanish movement as an ideologically polarized heterogeneous aggregate. The active challenging groups criticize the dominant part of the movement for giving up its original message of sexual liberation and diluting it in consumerism by supporting capitalist tendencies and the power of leading political parties. Via launching protest campaigns and collaborating in internationally supported networks with other ideologically related social movement communities, the challenging groups demand civil rights for all people, regardless of their sexual orientation or identity. They mobilize upon the collective identity of "precariousness" while integrating elements of queer and transgender theory into their radical leftist oriented politics in order to transform the Spanish society. By bringing on new critical ideas and adherents, the success of the leftist oriented challenging groups has an impact on the direction of the politics of the dominant group, which thereby is forced to adopt such ideas into their politics. Despite the disunity and antagonistic character of the movement, the...

Chejn, Tomáš ; Křeček, Jan (advisor) ; Vochocová, Lenka (referee)
In the thesis we are going to focus on the topic of on-line political communication of 8 czech ballot leaders on the social network service Facebook during the 2019 European Parliament election campaign. On-line campaign is essential tool to gain the favor of the electorate in the 4th age of political communication. In long term perspective the European Parliament elections are suffering from the low interest of the electorate and from the trend of decreasing tournout in both pan-European and Czech political arenas. Our research is based on the theoretical concepts about main functions of on-line campaign in the 4th age of political communication. The mobilization of the electorate towards political participation is one of those functions. Next we base our research on the second order elections theory of Karlheinz Reif and Hermann Schmitt. The European Parliament elections are characterised by predominance of topics important to the local political system and by substituting as a referendum about the government of a member country. Last but not least, we base our research on the theory of Paul Taggart and Alexander Szczerbiak, who say that today, euroscepticism is an attractive mainstream topic, which can be found throughout the whole political spectrum. The goal of our research is to prove and...

Verticalization of patients with peripheral ECMO in terms of nursing care
Křenková, Karolína ; Hladká, Petra (advisor) ; Pražáková, Zuzana (referee)
INTRODUCTION: ECMO is an increasingly popular method of support used in cases with severe respiratory or circulatory failure. Treatment is often associated with significant immobilization of the patient, which may take up to several weeks, resulting in deterioration of physical fitness, extending lenght of hospitalization, and a return back to normal life is very difficult. In recent years, however, efforts have been made to enable mobilization even to those patients who may be conscious, in order to maintain their muscle power. OBJECTIVES AND METHODOLOGY: The aim of this thesis was to obtain information about nurses' experience with mobilisation of patients treated by extracorporal membrane oxygenation, to evaluate an occurrence of the most frequent barriers that prevent them from mobilizing paticents and to evaluate differences in nursing attitude among the addressed workplaces. The research was carried out in the form of a questionnaire of my own creation. The research sample consisted of nurses working in Intensive Care Units under cardiocenters in the Czech Republic where the ECMO method is used. RESULTS: Mobilization and active rehabilitation of patients with peripheral ECMO is very rare practice in the Czech Republic. In 4 out of 6 departments respondents reported that patients with ECMO are...
