Surge, neste contexto, a Rede Social Educacional (RSE), cuja proposta é utilizar a tecnologia de análise da interação em redes sociais para criar um ambiente favorável à aprendizagem. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar o Design da Informação (Infodesign) e o Sistema de Atividades da Aprendizagem Colaborativa de RSEs brasileiras a partir da Teoria da Atividade (TA) de Leontiev. A abordagem da pesquisa foi qualitativa e quantitativa. Para tal, foram selecionadas e analisadas comparativamente três RSEs, utilizando as ferramentas analíticas da TA para criação das categorias analíticas; tendo dados coletados a partir de observação sistemática. Foram identificadas as divergências e similaridades entre os Sistema de Atividades, a Hierarquia de Funcionamento, as Ferramentas Disponíveis, os Objetos de Aprendizagem e os Níveis da Atividade destas redes. Realizou-se também um estudo de caso com uma das plataformas (Rede Passei Direto), tendo como procedimentos metodológicos a aplicação das seguintes técnicas: experiência de uso, entrevista semiestruturada, focus group e questionário online. Como resultados alcançados, foi proposta uma Lista de Recomendações para potencialização da atividade de aprendizagem colaborativa nesta plataforma.!

Ever since the breakthrough of social media it has become progressively more interesting to investigate whether or not it only exists for our pleasure or if it comes with negative side-effects. Instagram is, as of now, the fourth biggest social media which makes it one of the most established social medias whom most internet-users value. Instagram is an application for posting, and interacting, with pictures and videos by friends or even strangers. This may seem like harmless amusement, but it can also have a negative effect on the user's self-esteem. This study aims to examine whether a short term break from the social media platform Instagram can have a positive effect on an individual's self-esteem or not. The study that is conducted is a field study, where data is collected from the same frame of interpretation where the results have been concluded and discussed. Every participant took a break of one week from Instagram, where the app was deleted completely. Prior to the week the participants got to fill out a form regarding their self-esteem. The same form was also filled out after the break to be able to compare self-esteem between the two. The form, and thus the measure tool for self-esteem, was built on Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale. The result showed an increase in self-esteem after the break from Instagram. The result differed slightly between participants but on average everyone's self-esteem bettered. Further investigation revealed some patterns, for instance, a difference between men and women can be shown where women's self-esteem increased more than men's. Even if everyone's self-esteem on average increased, a conclusion can be drawn that self-esteem can be affected by many variables apart from the break from Instagram. / Genom sociala mediers genombrott har det blivit alltmer intressant att undersöka om de har en negativ påverkan eller om de endast finns till för vårt nöje. Instagram är det fjärde största sociala mediet vilket gör det till ett otroligt etablerat socialt medie som de flesta internetanvändare nyttjar. Instagram går ut på att publicera samt interagera med bilder och filmklipp från sina vänner eller även främlingar. Detta bringar nöje men kan även ha en negativ påverkan på användarens självkänsla. Denna studie undersöker om en kortvarig paus från det sociala mediet Instagram kan påverka självkänslan positivt kortsiktigt. Studien genomfördes genom en fältstudie där data samlades in från en och samma tolkningsram som sedan dragits till en slutsats och diskuterats. Alla deltagare tog en paus från Instagram i en vecka genom att radera appen helt. Innan och efter denna vecka svarade varje deltagare på ett formulär. Formuläret var utformat för att kunna mäta självkänslan före och efter veckan och då kunna dra slutsatser kring om och hur självkänslan påverkas. Självkänsla har mätts med hjälp av Rosenbergs Self-Esteem Scale. Resultatet visade på att det blev positiva skillnader i självkänsla efter pausen från Instagram. Resultaten varierade självfallet mellan olika deltagare men i genomsnitt ökade allas självkänsla. Detta analyseras vidare där man bland annat kan se att kvinnors självkänsla ökade mer än männens. Även om man kan konstatera att allas självkänsla i genomsnitt ökade efter veckan dras slutsatsen att många yttre faktorer, oberoende av den Instagram-fria veckan, kan ha en påverkan på självkänslan.

Tidigare forskning har visat att föräldrars anknytningsstil och personlighet samverkar och påverkar varandra. Men hur ser förhållandena ut mellan anknytningsstil, självkänsla, välmående och personlighet? I den här uppsatsen prövades fem hypoteser huruvida det fanns samband mellan dessa. Detta gjordes via en enkät som mätte de fem grundläggande dimensioner (vänlighet, extraversion, neuroticism, öppenhet och samvetsgrannhet), subjektivt psykiskt välmående, självkänslan samt anknytningen utifrån fem aspekter; två otrygga av karaktären avståndstagande (distans och sakorientering) och två av ängslig/närhetssökande karaktär (relationsfixering och bifallsbehov) samt tillit, den trygga anknytningsstilen som utmärks av ett tryggt och tillitsfullt förhållande till sig själv och till andra. De verktyg som användes var Big Five Inventory (BFI), Välmåendeformuläret, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) samt Attachment Style Questionnaire (ASQ). Enkätens reliabilitet var genomgående god. Totalt svarade 853 deltagare på enkäten i åldrarna mellan 20-74 år (M = 43.3, SD = 10.15) där 67.3% var kvinnor. Korrelationsanalyser och multipla regressionsanalysen genomfördes. Hypoteserna fick stöd i studien, anknytningsstilen kan prediceras av personlighetsdrag, välmående och självkänsla. Resultaten visade att anknytningsstilen tillit prediceras med positiva samband av vänlighet, extraversion, självkänsla och välmående samt ett negativt samband av neuroticism, vilket övriga anknytningsstilar inte har. / Previous research has shown that parents' attachment style and personality interact and influence each other. But what do the relationships between attachment style, self-esteem, well-being and personality look like? In this essay, five hypotheses were tested to see how these correlates with each other. This was done by a survey that measured the five basic dimensions (agreeableness, extraversion, neuroticism, openness and conscientiousness), subjective well-being, self-esteem and attachment style based on five aspects; two insecure of distancing nature and two of an anxious / closeness-seeking nature, the secure attachment style is characterized by a secure relationship with oneself and others. The survey was based on Big Five Inventory (BFI), Questionnaire on well-being, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) and the Attachment Style Questionnaire (ASQ). The reliability of the survey was good. A total of 853 participants responded to the survey between the ages of 20-74 (M = 43.3, SD = 10.15), where 67.3% were women. Correlation analyzes and multiple regression analyzes were performed. The hypotheses were confirmed, attachment style can be predicted by personality traits, well-being and self-esteem. The results showed that the secure attachment is predicted by and has a positive correlation with agreeableness, extraversion, self-esteem and well-being as well as a negative correlation to neuroticism, which the other attachment styles did not have.

I have been working at the land office in České Budějovice since 1993 and that is the reason for choosing the topic of land consolidation. This theme is very close to me. Consolidation of fertile ground into large unbroken units occured in agricultural landscape during the past 50 years. Country lanes, which separated single fields and formed strips of natural ecosystems between intensively cultivated agricutltural monucultures, were plowed. Removing of the country lanes contributed greatly to reduction of biodiversity in the landscape. Nowadays there is effort to correct the situation. For this purpose it was suggested to create a regional system of ecological stability (RSES), which includes planting of biocorridors - line elements, which remodel existing large soil units and increase biological diversity. My thesis was divided into two parts. First part is a literature review, which includes an overview of the issue of land consolidation in general and is drawn primarily from the scientific literature. In the second part I focused on implementation of RSES in cadastral areas Dynín, Sedlec a Lékařova Lhota. The result of this thesis is to evaluate the implementation in selected locations and their contribution to the landscape.

Magister Artium (Psychology) - MA(Psych) / This study focuses and draws on the fields of dance, psychology and the self-concept. Dance is seen as a powerful tool for expression of self. The Self-Concept is one of the most researched constructs in psychology. Previous research has focused on one element of the self-concept, such as self-esteem; this research considered the self-concept holistically, comprising of: self-image, self-esteem and ideal self. The theoretical framework of this research was the Self-Concept, and dance was employed as an intervention or method of researching the self-concept. The overall aim of this research was to explore the self-concept of a group of peer mentors prior to and after participating in a structured dance programme at a South African University. This research used a mixed-method approach with the primary method being qualitative. The quantitative research design was a quasi-experimental, one-group pre-test post-test design, using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES). The qualitative research design was ethnography. A seven session structured dance programme was conducted consisting of various aspects of dance. Non-probability sampling and purposive sampling techniques were used. Data was collected in four phases; quantitative pre-test data collection using the RSES scale; qualitative intervention data collection via observations (field notes and audio-visual recordings); quantitative post-test data collection using the RSES scale; and qualitative in-depth interviews. Informed consent was received through informed consent forms and information sessions prior to the dance programme. There were two steps of data analysis. First was to analyse the quantitative data from the RSES on IBM’s Statistical Software Package for Social Sciences, version 25 (SPSS v.25) and Microsoft Excel tools. Second was to analyse the data from the observations and interviews using thematic analysis.
