This bachelor thesis examines the phenomenon of internet discussions on Facebook. The starting theoretical framework for the thesis is Erving Goffman's focused interaction and the principles of fun in games theory in terms of focused interaction. The aim of this study is to find out whether the elements of fun occur in the researched environment and what form they take up. Research units were specified as discussions on the official Facebook websites of chosen online news portals. These discussions are embodied in the comments section below shared political article. 70 research units were subjected to conversation analysis. The results of the analysis show that most of the examined internet discussions can be determined as focused interaction and the elements of the game are strongly present in the discussions. The real situation in a virtual environment, however, differs from the way game elements manifest themselves in the face-to-face interaction, in which Goffman defined the concept of focused interaction originally. This work also deals with the situation of the participants leaving the interaction. In this case, it appeared that not all the characteristics of the internet discussions can be interpreted in terms of fun in games theory. Some aspects of the interaction in a virtual environment...

Development of social and emotional intelligence of preschool-age children through methods of drama education Abstract This thesis presents the concept of emotional intelligence, the level of which is based on self- awareness, self-regulation, self-motivation, empathy and social skills. Emotional intelligence is herein placed in the context of evolutionary development and anatomy of emotions, focusing on the possibilities of its development through pedagogical work. The main goal of the project was to evaluate whether preschool children can be developed in this direction through regular drama education lessons. The evaluation was based on an experimental method relying on a comparison between the results of the experimental and control groups. After 5 months of regular dramatic work, the children from the experimental group manifested a more significant improvement in their emotional and social skills when compared to the children from the control group. The presented project thus provides an unconventional source of inspiration for systematic work with children's emotions within the typical day-to-day schedule at kindergartens. Keywords: emotional intelligence, emotional and social skills, drama education, preschool age

This thesis points out that economic agents preferences can be dependent on the future utility and that economic agents can achieve higher social status and prestige with the conspicuous demonstrative consumption. I label this behavior as the game of social status. Some companies even adjust their production to this phenomenon as they produce quiet and loud goods or as they lower their production. This thesis also suggests that the conspicuous demonstrative consumption and positional externalities may be affected by race, age or social interactions. It also shows that these phenomena are not rich countries exclusive but they also appear in poor countries of Asian and African continent. Positional externalities can be theoretically removed by the nonexistence of volatility in fashion trends, by the application Coase theorem or by law restrictions and taxation of the incomes or consumption.

In this thesis, secondary school students' awareness of the area of civil protection in the Central Bohemian Region was investigated. Every single person should be involved in individual areas of civil protection, taking into account the person's age. Every person is regularly exposed to extraordinary events of various types. Therefore, it is of primary importance to know how to behave under given circumstances. Thus, such an extraordinary event can be solved better and any negative consequences can be minimized. The best start is to familiarize children in kindergartens with the given issues appropriately, continue with pupils at elementary schools and deepen the information further with students at secondary schools. However, these days there is no regular training in the area of civil protection at secondary schools. Students today are, therefore, reliant upon one-time lectures or their own search for the required information. The theoretical part of the thesis focuses on civil protection and its brief history in the Czech Republic as well as in foreign countries. The Concept of Civil Protection until 2020 with a View until 2030 is detailed herein. Furthermore, the current system of preventive educational activities and training at secondary schools is described herein. It is followed by definitions of several terms related to the area of civil protection (extraordinary event, emergency, integrated rescue system, warning and notification, evacuation, survival of citizens under emergency circumstances, individual protection, sheltering of citizens). The theoretical part of the thesis also includes the description of the fundamental methods of descriptive and mathematical statistics, which are applied in the subsequent chapter. The aim of the thesis consists in assessing the awareness of secondary school students in the Central Bohemian Region of the area of civil protection and in increasing their knowledge about the given issues. Two hypotheses were laid down: Hypothesis No. 1: The knowledge of secondary school students about the area of civil protection in the Central Bohemian Region is distributed normally. Hypothesis No. 2: Students from various types of secondary schools show statistically significant different levels of knowledge.

Mimořádně zajímavá analýza příkladu vývoje moderní vědy, unikátní také zvoleným formátem studie a metodou strukturní hermeneutiky (Alexander a Smith). Autor konstruuje vlastní story o příběhu Higgsova bosonu a činí tak velmi poučeně a svědomitě. Povaha materie ho samozřejmě nutí některé dekurzívní projevy detailně popisovat. Musí také intenzivně těžit z inspirativní práce Knorr-Cetinové. Pokračuje ovšem dál směrem k filozofickým interpretacím moderní vědy, aby se vrátil ke svému tématu a svůj stimulující text zdárně uzavřel.

(in English): This interdisciplinary thesis deals with the relation of oral tradition and somatic terms - words describing specific parts of the human body. The analysis is based on the ethnolinguistics, the theory of term's profile in particular, that deals with the question of which somatic terms serve as the inputs to semantic contexts and what is their dominant meaning. The thesis focuses on general interpretation of folk poetry, while aiming to those poetic methods and characteristics that are coherent to the main subject of the thesis. Next chapter describes ethno-linguistics and explains its methods and theory - the relation of language and culture, language stereotypes and mainly the theory of term's profile. The core of the thesis is the chapter dedicated to somatic terms: hands, eyes, blood, cheeks, mouth and face. Based on the collections Prostonárodní české písně a říkadla (National Czech songs and riddles) by K. J. Erben and Moravské národní písně (Moravian national songs) by F. Sušil, it determines the meaning profiles. In these it describes more closely in what meanings the terms mentioned above appear in folk songs.
