This master thesis deals with finding level of knowledge about healthy lifestyle and evaluating eating habits among adolescent boys studying at technical colleges. The work consists of two main parts, the theoretical and the research (practical). The theoretical part is focused on defining the major concepts and characteristics of adolescence, the teaching health education at secondary schools and recommendations in terms of movement and supplements to adolescent age. The research part focuses on the evaluation of knowledge regarding the health and eating habits of the above sample. The results were compared with those already available findings from previous studies. It was managed to collect 134 completed tests of knowledge regarding to health and physical activity and their associated questionnaires about dietary habits. Based on the results of the knowledge test, it was found that the average results reached zone below average. Furthermore, on the basis of evaluation of research assumptions, it was found that higher health knowledge does not affect the optimal body weight. Education in the field of eating disorders is probably insufficient. As apparent from certain results, health education should always find its place in the curriculum so that pupils receive a sufficient amount of information to be encouraging to find another informations by themselves on their own initiative.

The main goal of this thesis is to map the knowledge of students, adolescents, including human biology, physical education, sports and nutrition and then compare these results with similar surveys carried out in the territory of the Czech Republic. I also tried to verify, whether the knowledge level of health and physical activity be reflected in our observance of healthy lifestyle of the adolescents. Two high schools were actively involved in the research a grammar school in Milevsko and Tábor. A total number of 132 completed student´s tests of knowledge on the issue of health and physical activity was collected along with the same number of enclosed questionnaires about healthy lifestyles. The results showed that the knowledge levels do not differ dramatically based on students' gender. They also showed that they are proportionally reflected in the life style of the students.

A participação comunitária incorporada às ações de saúde pressupõe que os indivíduos tenham maior controle sobre suas vidas, visando transformações da realidade. A atividade de grupo pode ser recurso de ampliação da atenção, dentro dos objetivos do SUS, da adoção da integralidade, da qualificação das ações e humanização das relações entre profissionais e população assistida. Tendo como referência a Educação Popular e Saúde e utilizando-se do instrumental da Terapia Comunitária, o objetivo deste estudo foi descrever e analisar as atividades de grupo realizadas em Unidade do PSF, a partir dos relatos das falas dos usuários envolvidos, com vistas a permitir aproximações a respeito dos limites e possibilidades das práticas de Educação em Saúde no PSF. Trata-se de estudo exploratório e de uma pesquisa participante, no qual se privilegia a descrição e análise das percepções dos pacientes participantes das atividades de grupo, tendo como base a descrição dessas atividades e análise do conteúdo das observações e das falas. A partir desse material foram determinadas categorias de análise. Os grupos foram configurados como espaço onde pacientes poderiam falar seus problemas e se fortalecer através das trocas de experiências. Foi gerado ambiente de confiança, mobilização e ajuda mútua. As atividades foram iniciadas após percepção da necessidade de abordagem coletiva de determinados problemas. Como primeira necessidade, aconteceu a “Caminhada”, como atividade física e grupo de convivência, reunindo pacientes hipertensos, diabéticos e com outras demandas. Na seqüência, deu-se o trabalho com alcoolistas.

This is an exploratory study and participant research, in which it privileges the description and analysis from the participant patients of group activity, based on the description of those activities and the analysis from the comments and reports’ content. From this material, categories of analysis had been determined.

Succeeding in life often depends on childhood conditions. The link between childcare arrangements and the development of competencies in early childhood on the one hand, as well as the impact of parental leave on children on the other hand, is yet to be fully understood. In this dissertation, I examine differences in childcare arrangements and changes in parental leave and if they matter for an individual’s development in several aspects. Differences between childcare centers and family daycare in Germany are explored and whether these differences matter for a child’s short-term development regarding cognitive and socio emotional skills and a child’s interaction with their parents. It also investigates whether an extension of parental leave in the former German Democratic Republic affected long-term well-being of children and long-term well-being and health of mothers. / Erfolg hängt oft von den Bedingungen in der Kindheit ab. Der Zusammenhang zwischen Kinderbetreuung und der Entwicklung von Kompetenzen in der frühen Kindheit einerseits und den Auswirkungen von Elternzeit auf Kinder andererseits ist noch nicht vollständig geklärt. In dieser Dissertation untersuche ich, ob Unterschiede in der Kinderbetreuung und Veränderungen in der Elternzeit eine Rolle für die Entwicklung eines Individuums in verschiedenen Aspekten spielen. Die Dissertation untersucht, ob es Unterschiede zwischen Kindertagesstätten und familiärer Tagesbetreuung in Deutschland gibt und ob diese Unterschiede für die kurzfristige Entwicklung eines Kindes in Bezug auf kognitive und sozio-emotionale Fähigkeiten und die Interaktion des Kindes mit seinen Eltern von Bedeutung sind. Außerdem untersuche ich, ob sich die Verlängerung der Elternzeit in der ehemaligen DDR auf das langfristige Wohlbefinden der Kinder und das langfristige Wohlbefinden und die Gesundheit der Mütter ausgewirkt hat.
