Molecular genetic analysis of rare ocular disorders in Roma population from the Czech Republic
Rysková, Natálie ; Lišková, Petra (advisor) ; Klímová, Aneta (referee)
The Roma are the largest and most widespread transnational ethnic community. The Czech Republic estimates their 2% representation in its population. Due to the high level of endogamy, the spectrum and frequency of hereditary diseases in the Roma population differ from the majority population. Hereditary eye diseases are one of the most common causes of blindness in younger adults and thus represent a real socio-economic burden. The aim of the thesis was to perform molecular genetic analysis in individuals of Roma origin suffering from hereditary diseases affecting vision, including dual impairments and syndromes, and to determinate the frequency of the detected pathogenic variants in this population. Molecular genetic analysis of 17 families was performed using direct and whole exome sequencing. Within the framework of an international collaboration, the degree of their mutual kinship was calculated using the PLINK program. The frequency of selected variants was determined in a control dataset comprising 156 Roma exomes and genomes. The spectrum of analyzed diseases included various retinal dystrophies, primary congenital glaucoma, Usher syndrome, neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis, Noonan syndrome, nanophthalmos and congenital cataract, facial dysmorphism and neuropathy. The results of the thesis...

Blovská, Markéta ; Svobodová, Radmila (advisor) ; Marušák, Radek (referee)
This thesis focuses on the topic of multicultural education based on elaborated methods and techniques of drama in education. The theoretical part deals with the drama in education, its objectives, methods and techniques, and its inclusion in The Framework Educational Program for Basic Education (FEP), then on the Roma population and its specifics, multicultural education, its goals and its inclusion in the FEP. Through structured drama techniques in the practical part I try to explain school children the history, culture, values and way of life of the Roma population reflected by assimilation policy of the Czech Republic of the last century. Via this drama in education lessons focused on learning the specifics of the Roma population, I make an effort to prevent or influence prejudices. I have chosen to focus on this ethnic minority as it is the largest ethnic group in the Czech Republic and it is exposed to probably most significant racial prejudice.

Romany population in Slovakia and possibilities of its forecasting
Šprocha, Branislav ; Kučera, Tomáš (advisor) ; Šídlo, Luděk (referee) ; Kalibová, Květa (referee)
Roma population in Slovakia and possibilities of its prediction Abstract The aim of this study is to analyze and to evaluate the demographic reproduction of the Roma population in Slovakia. In the first part, attention is focused on analyzing the demographic processes as well as selected population structure. Primarily, we focused on the description of the fertility and mortality. In addition, we analyze induced and spontaneous abortion and health status of Roma. In terms of population structures, our attention was turned to the structure by age, marital status and highest educational attainment. Important to the overall understanding of reproductive behavior is also characteristic of the Roma families. Based on these findings we prepared projection of Roma population in Slovakia for the period 1981-2030. This study especially aims to point out the changes in the reproductive behavior of the Roma population in Slovakia and its possible development in the future. Keywords: Roma population, fertility, mortality, abortion, health status, Roma family, population structures, population projection, Slovak Republic

MACHOVÁ, Petra
This thesis focuses on the characteristics of the Roma population in the Eastern Slovakia specifically in the district of Trebišov. The first parts of this thesis examine the professional literature and statistical sources that deal with such problems. Methodological part gives insight into working with these statistical sources. In other chapters, historic and ethnographic aspects of the Roma population are highlighted and the specific territory is examined closely. The fundamental parts of the work are represented by the chapters based on the statistical evidence of the Roma population made by the District National office in 1982-1988. The primary aim of this thesis was to transcribe the records into digital form and assess the situation of the Roma population in terms of quantity, proportion, sex and age structure, economic activity and housing. Another part of the analytical work is also the characterization of the development of the quantity of Roma population in Eastern Slovakia approximately from the late 19th century.
