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.

Gambling represents a significant part of the Czech economy which generates profits as high as dozens of billions CZK to the operators every year. Main share of the market is formed by technical games and slot machines. The thesis deals only with this specified section of gambling and tries to describe economic and social impacts of gambling from two different views. It proceeds with regression analysis at level of districts first time based on the Czech data and then describes the problematic at the local level in Prague. The results show connection of gambling with negative economic and social environment. Gamblers lost more money in districts with higher unemployment or social benefits payments and higher economic criminality. Gambling negatively influences also family background and the number of tradesmen. On the other hand, gambling based on foreign visitors is not seen to be connected with any negative consequences.

Social Impacts of Prostitution
BAIEROVÁ, Jana
The word ?Prostitution? means something we also call ?Providing sexual services for money?. It is an extremely old job that is not similar to any other job and it has been in our society since the very beginning. Prostitution is perceived as negative pathological phenomenon in our society. Penalize, supervise or legalize? These are questions that the Czech Republic has been asking very often lately. However, none of these forms will actually eliminate the negative effects that accompany prostitution. Especially social impacts and the way they are perceived by those women who make their living by providing sex for money, and that have been subject to this research. The goal of my work was to describe the social impacts of prostitution considering the specifics of the South Bohemian region mainly from the point of view of social aspects. I have used qualitative strategy for my research. The data collection was carried out with the help of non-structured intense and depth interviews. The research group consisted of 8 women that make their living providing sexual services for money in luxurious erotic club called SYDNEY. Results of this research provide possibilities as to how to look into the issue of prostitution, how to grasp on understanding of the women?s motivation toward their prostitution behavior, map out their live situations, discover difficulties of the prostitution carrier and find out how they see their future. Common characteristics that led to the formation of prostitution carrier have been such that the interviewed women grew in disturbed family environment; most of them graduated from high school prior their prostitution carrier, no boyfriend or husband, lack of finances and starting with the prostitution based on recommendation of their girlfriend. Development of their carrier is characterized by certain specifics. Every one of them works under a nickname, they do not encounter any physical violence during their carrier and typical thing is having the same customers. Most of the women drink alcohol during their work, neighborhood they live in does not know about their carrier as prostitutes, they usually have no children, none of the women provide the sexual services with pleasure, some are afraid to be identified, most of them are not afraid to get infected with sexual transmitted diseases and typical is change of their role while working with the client. All of them want to quit their job as prostitute in the future. Most of them however, need to make money since they are afraid that they will not be able to find any other job and most of them are not interested to find a partner. Based on the interviews and responses to the above mentioned questions it was possible to characterize the social impact in company prostitution that follow: untaxed income of prostitutes, drinking alcohol and risking addiction, addiction to high financial income, difficulties finding suitable partner to start family, difficulties finding a job, psychological stress, promiscuous behavior, separation from their home and risk to be infected with sexual transmitted diseases. The last examined phenomenon was whether the women in question have been aware of the possibilities of social work and if they perceive this as an option. The result was that considering the specifics of their job and position, they are not very interested in some social work. They don?t need to use the social services and they don?t want to communicate with the social workers. They do however know where to seek the possible assistance and how to get in touch with the social workers. This Thesis can help to understand reasons why are these women involved in prostitution, bring some light into the situation how their lives evolved and where they see positive and/or negative impacts of such activities in social field. It can also help to discover the striking differences in the forms of prostitution and describe specifics of prostitution.

MATOUŠKOVÁ, Monika
The Bachelor Thesis deals with the issue of the psychological and social impacts of unemployment on human life. Its main objective is to demonstrate these negative impacts, to reveal how unemployment affects everyday life of adult people and to find essential differences as for the understanding of unemployment in three phases of adulthood. In the end, the work illustrates what difficulties people of a different age group have to encounter. The theoretical part focuses on the current situation of the aforesaid issue. The attention is concentrated on the following chapters: the importance of work to human nature, labour market, unemployment and characteristics of each period of adulthood. This part is concluded by the detailed description of psychological and social impacts of human life. In order to accomplish the objectives of this thesis, quantitative research in form of non-standardized interview was executed. The respondents from the following age groups, young people from 18 to 26 years, middle aged people from 30 to 45 years and people from 45 to 60 years, were asked according to the previously set criteria. The part dedicated to research describes the personal experiences of individual unemployed respondents. The latter are divided into three groups which are summarized in the end of this research and later analysed in the chapter dedicated to the discussion. The results based on this research proved the existence of the majority of psychological and social impacts stated in the theoretic part. They confirmed the fact that the older generation struggles with the problem of unemployment more than younger generations. The basic difference in how to understand unemployment was proved on a different perception of the aforementioned impacts. This problem becomes more serious depending on the age, as well as the difference of psychological needs which get worse with regard to the older generation. The acquired results of this Bachelor Thesis should further serve in order to extend psychological and social care of unemployed people registered at the Employment Agencies. The example is illustrated on the multidisciplinary team providing primary prevention and comprehensive care of unemployed people.

Social impacts of disasters and their solutions
BOŽOVSKÁ, Vladimíra
This diploma thesis on social impacts of disasters and their solutions deals with disasters that have accompanied the mankind from the very beginning, their impacts and the effective solutions of such impacts. The theoretical section, in the first chapter, introduces the concept of disaster and it describes disasters that struck the Earth in the past and endangered substantially human lives. The second chapter is devoted to disasters of the 21st century and is divided into two parts. The first part of the second chapter deals with disasters of the 21st century in the world, including the current situation in Japan and the other part introduces major disasters of the 21st century in our country. The third chapter of the theoretical section focuses on the characteristics of basic disasters that may occur in the Czech Republic. The fourth chapter informs us about the impact and consequences of extraordinary events and crisis situations in the Czech Republic and about their solutions. This chapter introduces us to the way the Czech Republic addresses social impacts of disasters, which are an important factor in determining the seriousness of disasters. The concept of social impacts of disasters includes not only the loss of life or property, but also reduced ability of self-support of people affected by disasters caused by closing down businesses and their decreased work ability. The last chapter of the theoretical section, chapter five, deals with the role and responsibilities of state authorities and local governments during extraordinary events and crisis situations. This thesis aims at specifying social impacts of disasters and to propose some solutions. The results of quantitative research using questionnaire survey showed that we can confirm working hypothesis no. one, i.e. that one of the major impacts of disasters are social impacts. The thesis also includes research conducted using the method of guided interviews thanks to which we can confirm the second working hypothesis, i.e. that dealing with the impact takes place mostly in the reconstruction period after the crisis situation. Knowledge obtained while working on this thesis may serve as a comprehensive analysis of the current state of the Czech Republic in terms of dealing with social impacts of disasters.
