Supervision is a relatively new concept in Czech education, which in recent years has been trying to become part of the working process of educators. Supervision is intended to help a worker cope with stressful situations, understand current situations, deepen his experience and develop new perspectives for his professional behaviour. The aim of this thesis is to try to map the positive and critical points during the Supervision meetings and to define the differences in the two selected kindergartens. Since each kindergarten is specific in its climate and teaching methods, supervision meetings should also differ in certain aspects. The work is processed qualitatively, with interviews with kindergarten teachers as the main research method. Klíčová slova: supervision, supervisor, nursery school, helping professions

The Facebook social network has become quite a phenomenon in recent years. Now journalists have profiles there, both on private and "fan" pages, i.e. pages started by someone else for promoting the person in question. In connection with this, we encounter a new ethical issue-the journalist's statements on this social network. Some media-or their editors-in- chief-have already reacted to this phenomenon by issuing a set of rules of behavior on social networks. Yet there were a few cases (not just on the Czech media scene) where a journalist's unethical statement on the Facebook social network was criticized. The aim of this thesis is to determine whether editorial staff of printed newspapers and television channels have rules for journalists' statements on the Facebook social network, whether editors-in-chief check if these rules are complied with and whether the journalists themselves try to comply with existing rules, or set down their own code as to the subject and manner of their expression on the social network. Another issue is, of course, how many of the journalists surveyed have their own profile on the Facebook social network, or how many of them had their profile pages started by their fans. In my thesis, I would also like to at least suggest an answer to the question to what extent is the...

The beginnings of the conference interpreting profession in China date back to 1979, when the UN Training Programme for Interpreters and Translators was launched. In 1994 this programme was transformed into the Graduate School of Translation and Interpretation at the Beijing Foreign Studies University, which became the first interpreter training institution in China. In 2006 the first three universities launched a BA in Translation and Interpreting (BTI). In 2007 fifteen universities started offering anew Master's programme in Translation and Interpreting (MTI).

Several universities offer also PhD programmes in interpreting studies.
