Orientador: Eduardo Kokubun / Banca: Alex Antonio Florindo / Banca: Sandra Lia do Amaral / Resumo: O objetivo desse estudo foi investigar associações entre nível, oferta de Atividade Física (AF) no trabalho e AF de lazer. Foi realizado um estudo transversal de base populacional. Participaram do estudo 864 trabalhadores com idade média e desviopadrão de 41 (± 13,4) anos, sendo 451 homens e 413 mulheres e eles responderam o Questionário Internacional de AF (versão longa- classificados em ativos e sedentários de acordo com o nível de AF de lazer), o Questionário baseado no modelo Transteorético (Estágios de Prontidão - classificados em fase de adoção e fase antecedentes), o Questionário sobre convênios e instalações para a prática de AF pela empresa e o Questionário sócio-demográfico. Para verificar as associações foi realizada a Regressão de Poisson no programa STATASE.10, obtendo a Razão de Prevalência (RP) com Intervalo de Confiança (IC - 95%). Como variáveis dependentes utilizamos o sedentarismo (nível de AF de lazer) e fase antecedentes (participação em AF de lazer). Para as variáveis independentes utilizamos: sexo, idade, índice de massa corporal (IMC), escolaridade, nível sócio-econômico, nível de AF no trabalho, oferta de ginástica laboral, participação na ginástica laboral e oferta de programas de condicionamento físico (PCF) através de convênios e instalações no local de trabalho. Os resultados indicam que os trabalhadores do sexo masculino são menos sedentários quando comparados com as trabalhadoras do sexo feminino. Para o sexo masculino, menor nível sócio-econômico está associado ao sedentarismo e a oferta de PCF oferecidos através de convênios está associada a níveis mais elevadosl de AF de lazer. Para o sexo feminino, maior IMC e menor nível sócio-econômico foram associados ao sedentarismo. Com relação a participação em AF de lazer o sexo feminino tem menos chances de estarem na fase de adoção...

The degree paper deals with the issues of juvenile delinquency and the factors which have impact on the origination of the juvenile delinquency. I have chosen this topic since it is a very serious problem and this phenomenon has been proliferating significantly. The crime in general, especially the juvenile delinquency, is a serious social-pathological phenomenon. Minors who do not reach the limit of criminal liability often became the offenders. In addition, the probability of threatening a young man by social pathological phenomena and his subsequent ``criminal career{\crqq} is currently much higher than ever before. To recognize the occurrence of risk factors among the youth in time it is necessary for the families, teachers, educators and all professionals working with the juveniles to acquire sufficient knowledge, information and experience and be able to work with the factors and fight against them in time. The theoretical part deals with the definition of the term ``youth{\crqq}, the personality of a young delinquent, structure of the juvenile delinquency, analyses of the risk factors which most frequently participate in the occurrence of juvenile delinquency, and outlines the possibilities of intervention against the juvenile delinquency and various kinds of prevention. The research is focused on the occurrence of risk factors among the young respondents and on protective factors and attitudes of the respondents in respect of the juvenile delinquency and the crime at all. Structured interviews were held with the youth which are placed in the reformatory or special correctional institutions in the territory of the Regional of Plzeň. The main objective of the degree paper is to describe the factors which significantly affect the occurrence of the juvenile delinquency and to map the occurrence and impact of such factors on the juveniles placed in the correctional and reformatory social retraining institutions in the Region of Plzeň. Hypothesis No. 1 is: The youth commit property crimes at the most. Hypothesis No. 2: The youth behave improperly namely when in groups. Hypothesis No. 3: The decisive factor affecting the juvenile delinquency is the family. I think that the objectives of the degree paper were fulfilled. Hypothesis No. 1 was confirmed. The respondents mostly stated that they were adjudicated treatment in special reformatory institution due to property crimes. Hypothesis No. 2 was also confirmed. The replies of the respondents mostly contained the possibility that they committed crime within a gang. Hypothesis No. 3 was confirmed, too: Analyses of the research proves that all factors participating in the occurrence of the juvenile delinquency are penetrated with the impact of the family and family environment on the juveniles. Results of the performed research will be used for further education of the students at the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice, as well as for the students of other auxiliary professions at other universities. The results will be further used as the source of information for parents and pedagogical professionals working with the youth and as source materials for seminars about the given topic.

The thesis focuses on the character and the structure of reading literacy and reading books by pupils from the age of twelve to the age of 15. The thesis consists of two parts. The theoretical part explains the most important terms related to the literacy and summarises pieces of knowledge which have been gained on the basis of different sociological surveys. The empirical part concerns own research in the area of children`s reading activities and their reading motivation, the position of a book in the world of media and the role of libraries as a support of reading literacy. This part presents the results of the questionnaire survey proceeded in the second grade of primary school.

This thesis, using the quantitative data, studies the correlations between delinquency of juveniles and free time. In the beginning study focuses on the definition of the core terms such as juveniles, delinquency and free time, as well as presents some of the theories in which the subsequent data analysis is based on (situational theory of Per-Olof H. Wikström, the theory of social bonds of Travis Hirschi, the common theory of criminality of Hirchi and Gottfredson, theory of procedural justice of Tom R. Tyler and the theory of institutional anomie of Steven F. Messner and Richard Rosenfeld). This thesis furthermore presents select surveys on the delinquency of juveniles. The next section contains the methodological basis such as the method of self- reported inquiries and the IRSD 3 research for data analysis. The last chapter of this thesis is reserves for the evaluation of the free-time activities of individuals without family and friends and the difference from other groups, the difference between the delinquency caused by loners and other groups and finally the profile of the loner type based on other criteria such as gender, age, morality and self- control.

This diploma thesis is focused on the support of educational leisure time organizations, which deal with science education, but not in the first place. Within the diploma thesis a literature search for non-formal science education was conducted and seven activities with supporting materials for the purpose to educate the participants of these activities as well as the organizers of them were created. The activities were prepared in such way to respect the fact that their organizer did not typically study science at university. The supporting materials should facilitate the preparation, carrying out and evaluation of the activity. All activities were verified in practice at meetings of the leisure time organization Junák - český skaut, z. s. The purpose of this verification was to find out whether and how the activities could be used in practice. Structured interviews with organizers and observation wre used to receive feedback. The final form of the supporting materials of particular activities is presented in the diploma thesis.

The Diploma thesis deals with the leisure time of youth in the seventies of the 20th century in Czechoslovakia. It compares two forms of spending leisure time. Those are the official activities that were organized by the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia by the Socialist Union of Youth and unofficial alternatives that are ideologically opposed communism. The aim of this Diploma thesis is to contribute to the analysis of spare time of youth in the seventies of the 20th century. How did exactly the young generation of seventies in Czechoslovakia spend their free time and what opportunities did they really have. The conclusions of the thesis should then contribute to the development of further research in the area of free time of socialist society.
