Negative impact of Smart Cities on human society
Sakharova, Daryna ; Froehling, Kenneth (referee) ; Sedláček, Pavel (advisor)
Koncept Smart Cities je považován za nový způsob lidského bydlení. Hlavním úkolem této práce je určení role klíčových komponentů Smart City, za účelem zhodnocení zda Smart technology přináší pohodlí a zahrnuje oblasti, kde se lidé cítí v bezpečí. Ve své bakalářské práci představuji koncept Smart City za pomoci analýzy a zvážením různých definicí. Pro objasnění konceptu a vysvětlení jeho užití bylo nutno zahrnout i kapitolu věnující se historii tohoto termínu a fenoménu. Aby čtenář snáze pochopil problematiku konceptu Smart Cities a jejich potenciálních negativních dopadů, bylo nutno zabývat se i faktory, které ovlivňují vědecké vnímání toho výrazu. Stanovením hlavních nevýhod jejich realizace se zabývají poslední dvě kapitoly mé práce. V nich poskytuji detailní popis stávajících problémů, uvádím příklady a objasňuji důvody pro jejich výskyt.

The use of smart drugs by college students
Schoberová, Tereza ; Nekola, Martin (advisor) ; Bryndová, Lucie (referee)
The bachelor thesis focuses on the use of smart drugs by university students. This phenomenon is becoming more popular in society, but it has not been properly researched and debated in the Czech Republic. The aim of this thesis is to describe experiences of smart drug use among selected university students in the Czech Republic and to understand their motivations for using them. The first part of the thesis, the theoretical part, describes what smart drugs are, what their prevalence is and how their use can be viewed through moral and social behavioural perspectives. The theoretical part also discusses how the use can be viewed as a social problem or a solution to social problems. In the second part of the thesis, the methodological part, the aims of the thesis, the research questions, the chosen research methods and the ethical aspects of the research are presented. The last part of the thesis, the analytical part, is devoted to the analysis of the collected data. The data was obtained through qualitative research conducted in the form of semi-structured interviews with nine students of Czech universities and analysed using open, axial and selective coding. The analysis of the interviews shows that the academic environment creates pressure on students, which students try to resist by using smart...

Like mother, like daughter? Gender role reproduction of one and a half generation of female Armenian migrants in Czech republic
Dvořáková, Kristýna ; Bittnerová, Dana (advisor) ; Ezzeddine, Petra (referee)
Diploma thesis is focused on a social status of one and a half generation of female Armenian migrants in Czech republic. It follows processes of a negotiation of their own social position and a creation of their own self-image on basis of gender role reproduction analysis. There are two main influential factors in context with their life in the target country. First one is their family and an Armenian community who is trying to pass Armenian traditions and values to them. The other one is the major society around them. Thesis reveals how individual informants in the bicultural situation perceive traditional gender roles and the possibility of their development or change. Girl's strategies prove to what degree they are following social patterns based on their origins in comparison with the life in the target country. Despite the fact that they know and understand social patterns preserved in Czech society they are accepting and by their behaviour even proving a gender role identification in the context of their family and Armenian community. This identification coresponds with an identification of the common Armenian family because it's girl's key reference group determining all relationships. In view of the fact that the family provides full support it is recognised as an arbiter of social values....

Social Aspects of Hormonal Birth Control in the Lives of Women of Reproductive Age
Grünbergová, Lenka ; Sokolová, Věra (advisor) ; Kobová, Ĺubica (referee)
The diploma thesis is focused on the social aspects of women's oral hormonal contraception in the lives of two generations of women - daughters and their mothers. The theoretical part introduces the fundamental concepts of contraception research based on gender perspective. It also highlights the important historical milestones related to so-called birth control pill. Furthermore, the development of the contraceptive behavior of the Czech population since the 50s of the 20th century is analyzed. The empirical part of this thesis includes the description of methodology and the analysis of semi-structured interviews with ten women - mothers who were born in the 1960s and their daughters born around the turn of the 80s and 90s. The aim of the analysis is to discover how a generally accepted theory about contraception as the emancipation mechanism that helps women to control their own body and decide about their own reproduction is expressed in the lives of interviewed women. I ask the reason why, when and under what conditions these women decided to use birth control pills and the role of other circumstances in their decision-making. Moreover, I focus on the way how the birth control pills affect the relationship to own body and self-esteem of my respondents. And also, how birth control pills affect...

The representation of antiheroes in TV programmes for Children
Švarcová, Alžběta ; Jirák, Jan (advisor) ; Wolák, Radim (referee)
The thesis propounded below is based upon a presumption that one of the significant means of socialization is mass media. It represents a source of information since an early age of a child, constitute the models of a socially acceptable behaviour and depict the values and norms that are applicable to the society. In continuation to the ambiguous character of socialization, on one hand allowing an individual to integrate fully into the society, on the other hand, however, producing the present inequalities, the author enquires into the way how villains are portrayed in television cartoons, that is, those who violate these commonly accepted norms. In the theoretical part of the thesis the author builds predominantly on the sociological reflections of the character of the modern society, the character of socialization and social norms. In the chapters dealing with the socialization potential of media she employs primarily the modelling theory that stems from the more universal social learning theory. In the empirical part the author, using qualitative research, tries to describe how villains are portrayed in television cartoons and besides other statements, she proves that their world has a strictly dichotomic and exclude character. One of the outcomes of the thesis is a typology of villains who can...
