House arrest punishment, its execution and control This diploma thesis deals with the complex issues related to house arrest punishment, its execution and control as one of the most controversial questions in the field of criminal law. This diploma thesis is divided into eight chapters. The first chapter focuses on clarification of general term and purpose of punishment. It discuses absolute theory, relative theory as well as theory that combines several approaches to the actual purpose of the punishment. This chapter also describes the main criminal law doctrines which are connected to punishment. The second chapter aims on restorative justice as a system of justice which is different from retributive justice when it represents approach which tries to identify alternative solutions in criminal cases. The third chapter aims on issue of alternative punishment concerning reasons for existence of alterative punishments, kinds of alterative punishments as well as secondary sanctioning. The fourth chapter concerns the actual house arrest punishment. It discusses general questions which are connected to house arrest punishment. It describes its history, legal frame of this institute as well as conversion of house arrest punishment to custodial sentence and on the other hand conversion of other punishments...

Resumé House arrest punishment, its execution and control House arrest punishment became a part of the Czech criminal law in 2010. Even though it is possible to impose this punishment for several years, it is not so commonly used. Judges and public prosecutors are still not convinced about its efficiency due to insufficient control. In my thesis I am dealing with particular provisions concerning house arrest, conditions for which the punishment might be imposed and with possible mechanism of its control. The first chapter is about the punishment theory. It is worth mentioning because the definition of this concept is important for deep understanding of the issue. I define the main characters of the restorative justice in followed chapter. This concept has influenced the alternatives punishments into which house arrest comprises. In the following chapters I am dealing with particular provisions of the house arrest, focusing on the conditions of imposition. This criminal sanction can be imposed for misdemeanour in duration not exceeding two years. Consent of the convicted person is one of the essential conditions. It reflects the will to carry out the punishment duly under the terms imposed by a court. Execution of the house arrest consisting of the obligation to stay in a certain dwelling for a period...

TITLE: Life of Family with a Child with the Toriello-Carey Syndrome AUTHOR: Bc. Ivana Valuchová DEPARTMENT: Department of Special Pedagogy SUPERVISOR: PhDr. Monika Mužáková, PhD. ABSTRACT: The thesis deals with the family of a child with a disease of rare Toriello-Carey syndrome. This is an isolated case of this disease in Europe. The main objective of the thesis is to process of complex information relating to disease of Toriello-Carey syndrome and to determine impacts of the syndrome on the quality of life of individuals and their families. The thesis is divided to theoretical and empirical parts. The theoretical part contains three chapters. The first theoretical chapter (Introduction) is devoted to detail syndrome- its etiology, symptoms, context, history, clinical assessment, treatment and prognosis. Other theoretical chapters describe a family with a child with disabilities and specifics of families with rare diseases. The empirical part of the thesis is focused on a research and mapping the life of the family of a child with Toriello-Carey syndrome by analyzing the documents and semi-structured interview with the parents and an active observation boy.

Domestic violence is a vast and grave social problem which pervades the whole society. In my diploma thesis, I follow it up because of its complexity as well, since it comes not only under the field of law and criminology but also psychology and sociology. It was necessary to define domestic violence as a term in the first part of the thesis, and to describe its characteristics which are constancy of aggressor and victim roles, escalation, cyclicity, continuation and repeatability. I deal with impacts of domestic violence on the society as a whole, and present a brief perspective on coping with this issue abroad. Furthermore I look into myths floating around about domestic violence because they show the public's attitude to domestic violence, and in my opinion, that plays an important role for setting the prevention appropriately. The second chapter of the diploma thesis relates to criminological aspects of domestic violence. Successively it concentrates on incidence of domestic violence, its typology, perpetrators and victims, emphasizing exactly the victimological part including the specifics of particular victim groups. The next chapter of the thesis contains an overview of previous development of the legislation in the field of protection against domestic violence. In the fourth part of the diploma...

Every day, I come across improper conduct, disobedience, breaking the law and subsequently also the criminal activity. In my final thesis, I wanted to summarize everything that is connected to the issue of alternative penalties and to aim especially at such punishment that is sometimes underestimated as re-education. Nevertheless, the new Criminal Code covers them to a large extent. Thanks to this elaboration and usage of alternative punishment in practice their usage is becoming more and more known among the public. Let's hope that it will help to deal with overcrowded prisons and to lower the costs on the prisons' operation. The aim of this thesis is to stress the importance of alternative punishment in practice, especially to show such way of punishment as important and significant mechanism for enforcing punitive sanctions thank to all workers of probationary and mediation services. I believe that processed statistics and questionnaires shall enlighten the whole processing of the topic and shall show how the public views the issue of alternative punishment.

This diploma thesis focuses on division of domestic labor in the Czech households and its change from 2002 to 2012 based on data from the International Social Survey Programme. It aims to uncover determining factors of the time that man or woman spends on domestic chores. Building on the conviction that the Czech Republic is going through similar value transformation that advanced western countries already experienced, we are also able to track similar transformation in division of household labor and explain this change through this value transformation. Theory of this diploma thesis is based on different approaches - economic approaches (human capital theory and the theory of relative resources) and gender approaches - that explain division of household labor by different factors. Therefore, based on its hypothesis, it is predicting that while economic factors affecting the time that an individual spends housework will decrease in its importance, normative/value factors will conversely rise.

The aim of the thesis was to find out how domestic violence was framed in the Czech printed media. The analysis was based on the findings of Robert Entman, who defined framing as selection and emphasising of certain attributes in the media (Entman, 1993). The work brought about a theoretical introduction into the concept of framing which became a part of the media studies in the last twenty years and which currently deals with all phases of media text origination and interpretation. The framing method was applied on a chosen topic of domestic violence, in connection with the new law on protection of abused people, which came into effect on January 1, 2007. Five weeklies (Blesk pro ženy, Instinkt, Květy, Reflex, Respekt) were selected for analysis and the monitored period of one calendar year from January 1, 2007, to January 1, 2008, was set. In the practical part, a qualitative analysis was carried out, determining the frames and research hypotheses for further interpretation of framing of given topic. Subsequent quantitative analysis studied the methods of article framing by individual magazines and eventual differences in the approach to this topic from the viewpoint of prevailing stereotypes associated with domestic violence. Attention was also paid to the question whether the magazines provided...

The aim of this thesis is to analyse the house arrest punishment as one of the alternatives to the imprisonment and to map the contribution of this punishment for the Czech criminal law. This thesis offers a short view in to history of this punishment. The main part of this thesis is an analysis of substantive and procedural legal regulation and analysis of the conditions for imposition of the house arrest punishment and its execution. Space is given also to Probation and Mediation Service of Czech Republic, because it plays an important role during the imposition of the punishment and its execution. Author of the thesis focuses also on comparing advantages and disadvantages of the punishment and he tries to compare both systems of control. One chapter is given to overview several foreign legal regulations.

NK cells, which are part of the innate immune system, are increasingly gaining attention, especially due to their cytotoxic ability to kill tumor cells of certain lines and certain viral, bacterial or parasitic infestation of the body. They lay a role in organ transplantation, the fight against HIV and other autoimmune diseases. NK cells have been studied since the 70th of the 20th century, but the structures and physiological ligands of their receptors remain only partially understood, as does the exact role of these cells in the organism. They communicate with others through their receptors, that recognize the lack of expression of MHC class I glycoproteins on the surface of target cells, thereby preventing cell recognition by cytotoxic lymphocytes. This diploma thesis deals with the research of receptors from cattle (Bos taurus), which is not a traditional laboratory animal and my task was to contribute to research of the structure of this group of proteins. I dealt with the recombinant production of some of the most important representatives of NK receptors CD69, NKRP1 and NKG2D in bacterial cells. The findings published in this thesis are a continuation of my bachelor thesis and together can be beneficial for further research into structural proteins and thus may help as in veterinary medicine...

The diploma thesis analyses a new alternative sentence - house arrest, which was implemented to the Czech legislation by the new Criminal Code effective from January 1, 2010. Chapter One introduces the reader to the concept of punishment and the idea of restorative justice as the basis of alternative sentences. Chapter Two focuses on the history of house arrest including the beginnings of electronic monitoring. Chapters Three to Five are the most significant parts of the thesis because they provide the analysis of substantive and procedural regulation of house arrest punishment and its execution. The author highlights potential problems and tries to make recommendations de lege ferenda. Chapter Six describes the control process of house arrest enforcement provided by Probation and Mediation Service and the electronic monitoring systems available in the world. In the last chapter the author shows the experience of some European countries with the house arrest punishment and especially with the implementation of electronic monitoring which could be inspiration for the Czech Republic.
