This theses is focused on the difference in the organization of free time within the children's home and the children's home with school. In the theoretical part of this theses there is described institutional and protective care. There are also specified types of institutional care and facilities by Czech ministries. There are also explained the most common reasons for placement of children to institutional care and further specification of legislation and statistics of placing children to foster care. There is also explained the concept and importance of leisure in sections function of free time and in the views of leisure. The theoretical part is also focused on the personality of the educator. There are also described leisure places for free time in children's homes and children's homes with school. The last important point in the theoretical part is the chapter of significant differences in the work of the children's home and the children's home with school. In the practical part, there are compared two children's homes and two children's homes with school using interviews and case studies. The purpose of this theses was to find out what is the difference in the organization of leisure activities and hinterland for leisure activities within the children's home and the children's home with school from the perspective of children and young people who live there and also from the perspective of educators.

This thesis deals with temporal and local circumstantial adverbials. The aim of this thesis is to define the adverbials, to describe manners of expressions, positions in the sentence and functions and to analyse French and Czech adverbials on the basis of the parallel corpus Intercorp.The thesis is divided into a theoretical part and a practical part. The theoretical contains three chapters. The first deals with the description of temporal and local circumstantial adverbials on the basis of Czech grammars. The second chapter focuses on the description of adverbials by French grammars. The third chapter summarizes the conclusions of the theoretical part. The principal chapter is the fourth chapter dealing with the analysis of the temporal and local circumstantial adverbials in the corpus Intercorp.

Silence is a negative term denoting absence of sounds. However, our ordinary way of speaking about silence suggests that the latter is some perceptible reality, 'some- thing' perceived. But is it legitimate to say that we hear silence - absence of sound? What implications about perception does such a way of speaking have? The aim of the present thesis is to analyse these questions. The analysis unfolds along three axes. The first part of the thesis reconstructs the problem of perception of silence in John Cage's 'silent piece' 4'33" in context of its conceptual origin, Cage's aesthetics, and reflection of his work in his written texts. Hence the introduction of the problem of perceptible silence in recent thought. It discusses the thesis that we cannot hear absolute silence, not even in the soundproof chamber, and considers the question whether it is adequate to say that we can hear silence if we expect to hear music, but the music does not sound - a question that was raised by the premiere of 4'33". The second part of the thesis scrutinizes the position according to which we can directly hear/listen to silence which is the absence of sounds, namely the arguments of Roy Sorensen and Ian Phillips. Emphasis is put on Sorensen's theory since it is in direct contrast to Cage's position (though Sorensen...

The purpose of this diploma thesis is to analyse time management methods and their application in secondary education. The theoretical part of the thesis focuses on different time management methods, which are available to teachers and pupils in secondary education. Special attention is paid to the representation of this topic in the Framework Educational Programs (FEPs) for basic education, Gymnasium and secondary vocational education. The practical part deals with how teachers and pupils use these methods. Teachers are also asked how they pass their knowledge of time management to their pupils. The research is realized in the form of semi- structured interviews with teachers and psychologists. The interviews showed that time management is not systematically taught in schools. The result of this diploma thesis is a description of useful methods and recommendations for their practical application in the educational process.

Last decade of society development brought numerous essential changes, which are reflected in the forming of working time. This work tries to give comprehensive view on the progress of working time forming and development (its division and separation, working hours length variation) with the emphasis on unconventional (flexible) methods of working time planning and their usage in contemporary society, that is now more often and required. In final chapter there is brought closer the development of legislative conception of working time in Czechoslovak and Czech legislation.

The thesis has a form of a theoretical study with significant relation to practice in professional volunteer supervision in Kladno Volunteer Center. The thesis is divided in 7 parts. Part One is focused on the definition of basic terms such as volunteer, voluntary work. This part deals with the issue of awarding of volunteers. Part Two is devoted to the basic terminology of leisure time pedagogy, including the definition of free time, the phenomenon, which is very important for both voluntary work and leisure time pedagogy. Part Three is centered at history of leisure time pedagogy and voluntary work. Key intersections of the two studied phenomena and their evolution are described. Part Four describes voluntary activities as a social phenomenon. Subparts are focused on the attitude of society towards voluntary work, the myths associated with it, as well as the volunteer work motivation. In part Five, I was trying to grasp volunteering as a tool of leisure time pedagogy. The subparts combine my findings acquired from books and my own practical experience. Part Six is an analysis of a specific case of ?Pět P? programme practice. Part Seven - the final one - includes a small scale empirical research.

Work is focused on texts, which were publicated in Lidové noviny between years 2003 - 2011 and which give us information about the internet useful in leisure. Individual chosen texts are then classify according to three criteria. Firstly, they are sorted according to the topic, which they are talking about. Secondly, texts are sorted according to sections in which we can find them in the text and finally there are mentioned journalistic genres in which textes are written and their brief description. All division precedes clarify the issue of leisure, which is essential for this work and then the relationship of media and leisure. There are indicated functions of the media and spare time too. The most common free-time activities are graphically illustrated.

The diploma thesis deals with the personality and attitude of beginning teachers, pecifically teachers' free time working in after-school clubs and teachers working in primary schools in the Pilsen Region. The work analyzes the basic terms related to teachers and teachers' free time, demands on them and their attitudes. From the theoretical knowledge arisen requirements on qualitative research, that was made through interviews. In my own research are analyzed attitudes beginning teachers in the Pilsen Region, the differences arising from the position of primary schools and after-school centers and differences among teachers to primary school teachers and free time from school groups. In conclusion, I present the results of research, where significant differences were observed between novice teachers of primary schools and after-school centers. A significant role in influencing the attitudes of beginning teachers has environment where they operate and approach of the schools management.

This thesis provides an overview of spending leisure time by a pupil of a lower secondary school at the level of organized activities. In the theoretical part the important terms, such as leisure time, leisure time education, leisure time teacher, are defined. In this part, a pupil of a lower secondary school and a gifted pupil are characterized, the sense of leisure time activities at the level of organized activities is mentioned and finally the educational facilities for leisure education and leisure facilities used by pupils are listed. The empirical part provides a list of various leisure time institutions which the city of Příbram offers and it also presents an elaborated research survey, which is subsequently evaluated using statistical functions into tables and graphs. Among other things, as a part of my teaching specialization, in addition to other leisure activities, I incorporated in this work a part aimed at natural and technical leisure activities that are helpful in educating gifted pupils as a future generation and who are a real shortage in this area.

Deficits in interval timing have been described in focal brain lesions and in various neuropsychiatric disorders including Parkinson's disease (PD). The aim of this study was to explore brain areas responsible for human time perception and for the timing deficit in PD. We used a time reproduction task (TRT) which consisted of an encoding phase (during which visual stimuli of durations from 5 to 16.6 sec were presented) and a reproduction phase (during which interval durations were reproduced by a button pressing). In our first fMRI study, we used a parametric modulated analysis searching for brain areas with activity, expressed as Blood Oxygenation Level Dependent (BOLD) signal, correlated with the duration of time interval. During the encoding phase, there was a gradual deactivation of the left prefrontal cortex (PFC) and cingulate gyrus. During the reproduction phase, there was a gradual deactivation in precuneus and an accumulation of activity in the left PFC, primary motor area, right caudate and supplementary motor area (SMA). The second study aimed at supporting the role of two of these areas, SMA and precuneus in interval timing by repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). Accuracy and variability of time estimates were compared before and after rTMS. Accuracy of estimates was not...
