The purpose of this study was to analyze how different authors from 1920 to 2011 described the Swedish temperance movement. The study wanted to highlight a gender perspective through a description of women´s and men´s relationship to alcohol habits and their different positions, assignments, and influences in the Swedish temperance movement. To further aid in the research of this study, it was decided to use the gender system that Yvonne Hirdman had presented in her work. The study showed that there existed a difference in the description between women’s and men’s alcohol habits and position of influence. Women were bound to have an idealized image of sobriety and their biological reproductive nature as women. Men had more liberty and freedom compared to women. However, this affected the middle-class and not the working class. The study showed that social standing influenced what type of position and influence both women and men had in the temperance movement. It also showed a separation between female and male in the description and that the authors were following a male norm in their description.

<p><b>Aims</b><i>: </i>The general aim of this thesis was to describe the life situation of women and men during their first year after myocardial infarction (MI) with regard to problems in daily life, how they coped with them, the social support available and the patients’ perceived quality of life (QoL). An additional aim was to examine differences over time and between women and men in coping, social support and QoL. <b>Methods</b><i>:</i> A consecutive series of 74 women and 97 men were selected 1 month after MI and followed over the first year. A qualitative approach was used to describe experiences of everyday life of 20 women and 19 men from the study group, from the onset of MI through the first months after the event (retrospectively). Focus was on managing problems and support from the network (<b>I</b>). Also experiences at 4 to 6 months and expectations of the future were explored (<b>II</b>). Coping, social support and QoL were compared between women and men both with a cross-sectional (at 1 month; 74 women and 97 men; <b>III</b>) as well as with a longitudinal design (at 1, 4 and 12 months; 60 women and 88 men; <b>IV</b>). <b>Findings</b><i>: </i>Physical symptoms and emotional distress were the most commonly described problems during the first months after MI. The patients managed the problems by negotiating with themselves, relying on their own capabilities, changing attitudes and behaviour and taking their own decisions. The network was generally supportive but also communication problems were described (<b>I</b>). Many of the patients had not established a stable health condition after 6 months. They managed the consequences of their disease, found a meaning in what had happened, and confidence in the future. The support from their social network encouraged them to move on (<b>II</b>). Women used more evasive and supportive coping than men 1 month after MI. More women perceived support being available from grandchildren and friends and more men from their partners. Compared with men, women rated lower health-related QoL and QoL (<b>III</b>). Coping and social support were stable over time, women used more evasive coping than men and health-related QoL increased for both women and men. (<b>IV</b>). <b>Conclusions</b><i>: </i>The first month after MI seems to be a vulnerable period especially for women. They had difficulties interpreting their heart symptoms, did not want to bother others with their worries and rated lower QoL than men. Patients redefined normal life, found hopes for the future and women did not demonstrate a poorer QoL profile than men over time. </p>

The issue of fair remuneration The diploma thesis focuses on the issue of fair remuneration in the Czech Republic, or rather lack thereof. The aim of this paper is to outline and evaluate the legislation of fair remuneration that is currently in effect. It must be said that the current fair remuneration legislation, at the first sight, seems to be sufficient and effective in practice. However, that is not true yet, as one of the remaining issues of fair remuneration is the inequality in the remuneration of women and men, where women are generally paid less than men for the same work. This thesis comprises of five chapters. The first chapter provides an overview and evaluation of the legislation of fair remuneration. The second chapter attempts to define the term "fair remuneration" while also outlining other key terms. In general, fair remuneration is such that is in absolute accordance with the current legislation. However, that does not guarantee that such remuneration would be perceived as fair by the employees themselves. Therefore, each employee should know how he or she is remunerated and what specific criteria affect the amount of his remuneration. It follows that each employer should have a transparent remuneration system in place, which would indicate which criteria play a role in...

Anhand von statistischen Angaben von Frau Dr. Vo Thi Ngoc Lan wird ein Blick auf die Gleichstellungsarbeit in der soz. Republik Vietnam im Allgemeinen und an der Technisch-Pädagogischen Universität Ho Chi Minh Stadt im Speziellen geworfen. Sowohl in Vietnam als auch in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland besteht in mancherlei Hinsicht noch ein Ungleichgewicht der Geschlechter. Somit besteht im Bereich der Sicherung einer echten Chancengleichheit der Geschlechter noch Handlungsbedarf, wie im Beitrag gezeigt wird.

Promoting equal opportunity - competition "Office of the 2009". The theme of this thesis is the competition "Fifty-fifty" - respect for equal opportunities of women and men that emerged at the initiative of NGO Gender Studies, o.p.s. and the Ministry of Interior. The theoretical part focuses on the theoretical foundations and legislative basis of equal opportunities for women and men. I also represent an institutional apparatus that may serve as the basis when asserting the equal opportunities, including basic documents. I also refer to the non-state sector activities and individual types of instruments for promoting equal opportunities. For the context of the competition, the activities of the coordinator of gender equality issues in the Ministry of Interior, which are also the part of the theoretical part, are also important. The empirical part focuses mainly on the methodology of the survey which I used when setting up a new questionnaire for the purposes of the competition. It is the setting of the improved questionnaire that would enable easy evaluation is also the goal of my thesis.
