Erasmus Students, Culture Shock and the Process of Adaptation
Hofmannová, Zdena ; Cirklová, Jitka (advisor) ; Hirschová, Marta (referee)
The thesis is focused on culture shock and adaptation of Erasmus students based on a research conducted with Erasmus students at Irish university. The method of the research was biographical interview with nine students participating in Erasmus programme. The research indicated absence of culture shock and adaptation was usually tied to personal changes and challenges that the sojourn brought about. The thesis presents main topics through which the respondents constructed the notion of adaptation - language, academic, practical, social adaptation and adaptation on the absence of relatives, friends and partners. The tendency of each of those dimensions of adaptation is growing until the exams start which disrupts this process. In the next section, the thesis compares the course of the sojourn to rite of passage, dividing it into three main phases - before departure (pre-liminal), during the sojourn (liminal) and after return (post-liminal). Rite of passage is also one of the ways how it is possible to explain the definition of the meaning of the sojourn for the students themselves. Other ways are adventure and development of self and better understanding of self (the concept of existential authenticity is used to explain this fact). The thesis marginally touches the subject of the meaning of culture...

Seidlerová, Nicole ; JANEČEK, Václav (advisor) ; DIATTA-REBCOVÁ, Monika (referee)
This diploma thesis describes the origin and development of dance in New York, its culture and the possibilities of dancing in one of the most artistic cities of the United States. The aim of my study was to find out what forms of dance appeared in the New York environment and how they influenced the development of dance in this area. The diploma thesis deals with historical events and personalities who participated in the development of dance art. The content of the thesis includes the current dance scene and the possibilities of studying dance in New York. The fact that there is no comprehensive study in the Czech Republic on this issue has become a stimulus for the creation this thesis.

Naklady zdravotnickeho systemu na nemoci zpusobene kourenim
Dolejší, Gabriela ; Běláčková, Vendula (advisor) ; Vebrová, Ludmila (referee)
Práce se zabývá nákladovou stranou zdravotnického systému nemocí přiřaditelných kouření. Předmětem zájmu práce je analýza metodiky ?cost of illness?(COI), jež vyjadřuje ekonomické náklady nemoci či diagnostických skupin nemocí spojených s kouřením a odhaduje maximální částku, která by mohla být potencionálně ušetřena, pokud by byla prevalence kuřáctví ve společnosti nulová. Dokladem nákladovosti nemocí způsobených kouřením jsou příklady zahraničních studií zabývajících se metodikou COI. Empirická část práce přináší komparaci metodik a výsledků zahraničních studií se zjištěními výsledky nákladů nemocničního léčení chorob způsobených užíváním tabáku v ČR. Cílem práce je srovnat výsledky zahraničních studií se studií nákladovosti nemocí způsobených kouřením v České republice.
