My thesis is concerned about organization called "Junak" -- Czech republic union of scouts as the one of the largest organizations in Czech rep. The important part of its program is organizing meetings and creating events which fulfill a definition of an organized tourism. So we can speak about tourism caused by Junak organization, the so called scout tourism. Furthermore my thesis is focused on concrete indicators evaluating content and the structure of the scout tourism.

Mit dem Ziel, neue Impulse für die flächendeckende Verbreitung von E-Learning an der Hochschule auf Lehrveranstaltungsebene zu setzen, wird im Rahmen des Projekts „Studiengänge flexibel gestalten“ an der TU Dresden ein E-Scout-Konzept erprobt und evaluiert. Der folgende Beitrag gibt einerseits einen Einblick in die Notwendigkeit von zielgruppenorientierten Beratungs- und Unterstützungsformaten im Hinblick auf das Thema Digitalisierung, andererseits wird das Konzept der E-Scout-Qualifizierung vorgestellt und der Mehrwert für die Hochschule verdeutlicht.

The aim of the theorethical part of the thesis is to describe basic charac- teristics of concept of the emotional intelligence. The thesis summarizes two main theoretical approaches to EI: Mayer, Salovey et al. (1997) and Goleman (2000, 2011). Several currently used EI measurement methods are introduced, along with some of the principal reservations against the EI measurement as such. Practical applications of emotional intelligence along with theoretical possibilities of further development of EI are also briefly discussed. The empirical part summarizes the findings of combined quantitative- qualitative research realized in a sample of scout leaders. Using MSCEIT (Mayer et al., 2012), the research revealed that the scout leaders reached significantly lower EQ score in general EI, in Strategical EI branch and in subscales Using emotions and Understanding emotions. Reversely, they achieved significantly higher EQ score in subscale Managing emotions. The outputs of the qualitative enquiry are in direct contradiction to the quantitative outputs; the respondents agreed consentaneously that the scout education improved their emotional matureness, they also provided many particular examples and links between scouting and the develop- ment of the emotional intelligence. Possible explanations for this contrast...

En undersökning om andakter under scoutträffar inom Equmenia. Undersökningen grundas på att Equmenia bedriver scouting på kristen grund. Andakterna studeras utifrån förekomst, innehåll, åldersanpassning samt ledares egna reflektioner kring betydelsen av andakten. Andakten har valts för att göra en tydlig avgränsning men det berörs även andra sätt att bedriva scouting på kristen grund inom Equmenia.Studien genomfördes med en enkät till 21 Equmeniaföreningar, varav 14 svarade och intervju med två av ledarna som svarat på enkäten.Resultaten analyseras utifrån tre olika teorier, en sekulariseringsteori, en teori kring baspraktiker i kyrkan och en utifrån åldersanpassad undervisning inom kyrkan.Studien visar att andakter förekommer regelbundet vid scoutträffarna men att det finns ett behov av att definiera begreppet andakt. Andakten anses vara en baspraktik vid scoutträffarna och det är en utmaning att åldersanpassa innehållet. Särskilt från tonåren.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka vad ungdomar upplever att de lär sig i scouterna om natur och miljö samt hur denna kunskap omsätts till handling. Utifrån tre fokusgrupper med scoutkårer i Skåne lyfter vi fram scouternas perspektiv och funderingar. Vår undersökning har visat att ungdomarna i scouterna inte upplever att de lär sig speciellt mycket om natur och miljö. Kunskapen de får inom natur och miljö är till stor del Allemansrätten, att inte skräpa ner och förstöra naturen samt olika arter. Ungdomarna anser inte att den kunskap de får omsätts till några konkreta handlingar för natur eller miljö, med undantag från att de värnar om naturen under vistelsen där. Dessutom ser de endast miljö som något negativt laddat, då de enbart kopplar samman detta begrepp med miljöförstöring. Vi ser inte i dagsläget att ungdomarna får ett ökat miljöengagemang genom naturupplevelsen i scouterna. Däremot skapar naturmötet en positiv känsla och en ökad förståelse för naturen vilket kan leda till ett framtida miljöengagemang. / The purpose of this paper is to examine what young people perceive that they learn about nature and the environment within the Scout organization, and also how this knowledge is translated into action. By using three focus groups with scout troops from Skåne we will explore the scouts perspective and reflections. Our research has revealed that young scouts do not feel that they learn much about either nature or environmental issues within the Scout organization. The knowledge they receive about nature and the environment concern mostly that they shouldn’t clutter and destroy nature. We can’t currently see that scouts have a greater environmental commitment through the outdoor experience within the organization. By contrast, feeling oneness with the nature creates a positive feeling and a better understanding of nature, which may lead to future environmental commitment.

Apesar dos aspectos técnicos e físicos serem reconhecidamente importantes para o resultado do jogo, poucos estudos investigaram a associação entre estas duas características em jogadores de futsal. Assim, o presente estudo teve como objetivo investigar a associação entre aptidão física e desempenho técnico de atletas profissionais de futsal, além de verificar a associação entre ações técnicas com o resultado de partidas durante o campeonato estadual do Rio Grande do Sul (RS) no ano de 2015. A amostra foi composta por 16 atletas de futsal que disputaram a Série Ouro em 2015. A análise do desempenho técnico foi realizada através de scouts individuais de todos os jogos, considerando as variáveis: passes (certos e errados, absolutos e percentuais), finalizações, desarmes, interceptações e bolas perdidas, divididos em dois momentos no campeonato. A aptidão física foi avaliada a partir de testes de agilidade, potência muscular de membros inferiores, potência anaeróbia e potência aeróbia nos meses de abril e setembro. Para associação entre a aptidão física e o desempenho técnico foi utilizada correlação de Pearson e para associação entre o desempenho técnico e o resultado final das partidas foi realizada correlação de Spearman, além de ANOVA de um fator para comparação das médias de desempenho técnico entre os resultados de vitória, empate e derrota. As variáveis foram analisadas pelo software Stata 13.0 e SPSS 20.0, e foi considerado o índice de significância α = 0,05. Potências aeróbia e anaeróbia somente não apresentaram associação significativa com número de finalizações, independente do momento e indicaram que melhores resultados nos testes se mostraram associados com melhor desempenho técnico. Agilidade apresentou associação significativa no segundo momento de avaliação com percentual de passe certo (r = -0,637, p = 0,026), indicando que menor tempo no teste de agilidade esteve associado com melhor desempenho técnico na variável em questão. O resultado final das partidas apresentou correlações negativas e significativas com passe errado (rho = -0,72, p < 0,001) e bola perdida (rho = -0,51, p = 0,019), indicando que quando mais passes errados e bolas perdidas foram realizados, houve o resultado de derrota. Ainda, a ação de passe errado apresentou se maior nas derrotas em relação às vitórias (p = 0,001). Pode-se concluir que, após um longo período competitivo de nível estadual, as variáveis de aptidão física potência aeróbia e potência anaeróbia apresentaram relação com o desempenho técnico dos atletas em ambos os momentos da competição, mostrando a influência destas capacidades físicas no bom desempenho durante as partidas de futsal. Ainda, as ações técnicas de passe errado e bola perdida podem influenciar no resultado do jogo. Com base nos resultados encontrados, membros das comissões técnicas de equipes de nível estadual podem prescrever treinamentos direcionados para capacidades físicas mais associadas ao jogo e para as principais ações técnicas relacionadas ao resultado do jogo. / Futsal is characterized by high intensity intermittent sport that requires the athletes high physical, technical and tactical patterns for the implementation of game actions. Despite the technical and physical aspects are admittedly important to the outcome of the game, few studies have investigated the association between these two characteristics in futsal players. Therefore, the purpose of present study was to investigate the association between physical fitness and technical performance of professional futsal athletes, further verifying the association between technical actions with the result of matches during the state championship of Rio Grande do Sul (RS) in 2015. Sixteen futsal athletes that competed in the Gold Series in 2015 were part of the sample. The technical performance analyses were made through individual scouts of all games, considering the variables: passes (right and wrong, absolute and percentage), kicks, tackles, interceptions and turnover, divided at two moments during season. Physical fitness was measured from agility, lower limbs muscle power, anaerobic power and aerobic power in the April and September. Pearson correlation was used for association between physical fitness and technical performance and Spearman correlation was used for association between technical performance and final results of matches, beyond ANOVA one-way for comparison of technical performance means between win, draw and defeat. The variables were analyzed using Stata 13.0 and SPSS 20.0 software, and was considered α = 0.05 significance level. Aerobic and anaerobic power only not showed significant association with kicks number, independent of moment and indicated that best results during the tests were associated with best technical performance. Agility showed significant association at second moment of evaluation with percentage of right pass (r = -0,637, p = 0,026), indicating that less time during agility test was associated with best technical performance at this variable. The final results of matches showed negatives and significant correlations with wrong pass (rho = -0,72, p < 0,001) and lost balls (rho = -0,51, p = 0,019), indicating that when more wrong passes and lost balls were performed, there was defeat result. Yet, wrong pass was larger during defeat in relation to win (p = 0,001). Concluded that after long state level competitive period, the physical fitness variables of aerobic and anaerobic power presented relationship with athletes technical performance during two moments of championship, showing the influence these physical skills in success performance during futsal matches. Yet, the wrong pass and lost balls technical actions may influence in match result. Based on the results, members of the technical committees of state level teams can prescribe targeted training for physical skills more ssociated with the game and for main technical actions relationships with match result.
