FOREST ECOSYSTEM SERVICES: SELECTED KNOWLEDGE
Melichar, J. ; Horváthová, Eva
The assessment of ecosystem services (ES) has become an important concept during the last two decades and a model tool used to quantify the contribution of individual ecosystems (including the global one)\nand biodiversity to human well-being. Although there are a number of conceptual frameworks and a wide variety empirical applications, there is a lack of more detailed theoretical definitions based on ecological and economic theories as well ambiguity persists in defining the term ecosystem service. Ad hoc delineation and general formulation of this the concept is then limiting in the interpretation of the achieved results, the possibility of comparison across studies, including implementation transfer of values and functions of values, or when designing economic instruments such as payments for ecosystem services. Therefore, in this paper we discuss terms such as final product, intermediate product,\necological production function and utility function, i.e. concepts that are decisive for the correct definition of ES from the point of view economic theory.

Impact of Universal Basic Income on Income and Poverty in Italy: A Multi-Scenario Analysis Using HFCS Data in EUROMOD
Petrus, Tomáš ; Kolář, Daniel (advisor) ; Šťastná, Lenka (referee)
Mikrosimulace základního nepodmíněného příjmu v EUROMOD přisprívají probíhající diskusi o sociálních důsledcích a rozpočtové proveditelnosti této politiky. Evropská HFCS data použitá v této práci umožňují zdanění majetku jako způsob financování, aby byl základní nepodmíněný příjem rozpočtově neutrální. Tato práce zkoumá vliv tří unikátních scénářů na redistribuci příjmů a míru ohrožení chudobou na různé části italské populace. Rozmanitost italských regionů a boj s veřejným dluhem mohou vážně ohrozit proveditelnost scénářů v reálném světě. Výsledky práce následují trend radikálního snižování celkové chudoby a nerovnosti pozorovaný v této oblasti výzkumu. Tyto scénáře, spolu s pevnou daní z majetku, mají nepříznivé dopady na starší věkové skupiny, které se spoléhají na starobní důchody. Systém sociálních dávek má ve scénářích různé úrovně náhraditelnosti, které významně ovlivňují dopad na ohrožené skupiny. Práce nastoluje potenciální zmírnění nežádoucích účinků, které lze analyzovat v dalším výzkumu. Mikrosimulace postrádá behaviorální dopad základního nepodmíněného příjmu na jednotlivce, který je zachycen v provedených studiích v Evropě a Severní Americe.

Sociální politika v České republice
Janošková, Sára
The bachelor's thesis "Social policy in the Czech Republic" maps social policy in our country. One of the objectives of the thesis is to describe the setting of social policy, which is what it‘s based on. In the theoretical part, the concept of social policy and its basic goals are clarified. The actors who figure in it are also defined here. Furthermore, the tools, principles and functions of the given policy are defined. The practical part is divided into two larger parts. In the first of these parts, the use of tested benefits of state social support in individual regions of the Czech Republic is evaluated with the aim of finding out in which regions the benefits are used the most and thus where social problems are more frequent. The second part of the practical part is devoted to the citizens' view of the setting of social policy in the Czech Republic based on a secondary analysis of data from the European Values Study.

(Not) increasing social benefits in 2012–2023: an overview
Janský, Petr ; Kolář, Daniel
In this overview, we map trends in the value of social benefits over the past ten years and compare them to trends in inflation, average salaries and old age pensions. If the real purchase power of benefits is to remain stable, they should be raised at least at the same rate as inflation. If we want social benefits to continue to provide the same level of financial security, keeping pace with economic developments in the long term, then their value should rise at approximately the same rate as the average salary, and spending on benefits should increase at approximately the same rate as GDP.

Social impacts of Cystic fibrosis disease on children of various age
FILIPI, Kateřina
The bachelor thesis is called Social impacts of Cystic fibrosis disease on children of various age. Cystic fibrosis is a disease which can be treated, but it cannot be completely cured yet. It is a disease that affects mostly the lungs where a thick mucus is gradually built and is hard to get rid of. However, it impacts other organs too. Cystic fibrosis is considered to be a rare disease because in the Czech Republic there are approximately 600 patients only. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to find out what aspects of life are impacted the most by the cystic fibrosis. The main focus was on the families with children who are diagnosed with the disease. Not only is the disease financially demanding, but also it impacts social life as people suffering from it should avoid contact with a large number of people because they are at higher risk of getting sick. People suffering from the disease face many restrictions, therefore they can feel disadvantaged compared to their peers. The research question was formulated as follows: What are the most common social impacts on a family with a child that is suffering from cystic fibrosis? Given the aim of the thesis, I used qualitative research, specifically interviews. In the empirical part, the snowball technique for the interviews was used. Seven families with children suffering from cystic fibrosis participated (9 - 17 years old). The results suggest that the most common social impact of the cystic fibrosis is a limited choice of a future occupation. Due to the strict restrictions which are placed on people suffering from the cystic fibrosis it is not possible to pursue just any profession that patients would want to. Another issue is that many families are not entitled to social benefits due to unjust decision making.

What relationship do clients have with the environment (facility, other clients, social workers, workers at the social services)? What is considered positive and negative by workers of the social services when it comes to the work with clients with disabilities. The results were processed with Atlas.ti 9. Results of the research show that work with these clients is based on individual needs. Workers at social services emphasize principle of voluntariness. It is obvious from the interviews that clients are happy and pleased at the selected social service facility.

Types of support, which families caring for a child with autism spectrum disorder can use
Englichová, Lucie ; Kopsa Těšinová, Jolana (advisor) ; Dobiášová, Karolína (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on the support of families of children with severe autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It takes into account the gaps in support, which have been pointed out in recent years by both researchers and the target group itself. It sums the needs of these families, explaining them in the context of the current state of social politics. The aim is to reflect on the needs of these specific families and what kind of help is provided in the field of social benefits and social services. It simultaneously aims to reveal how key social politics work in practice in relation to people caring for children with severe ASD and to identify possible deficits of such politics. The theoretical part maps the theory of implementation, individual approaches to implementation and problematic factors. The practical part uses qualitative approach. Data was gathered by the means of semi-structured interviews with five experts on the issue. The research had shown that within the Czech republic there is still a lack of services capable of serving the needs of children with severe ASD. The incapacity is caused by a general underfinancing of the social sector and also by the system of distribution of the state-provided grants. The research also suggests that factors contributing to the current state are...
