Parental Control of youth's Leisure Time as a Educational Problem at the Present

Diplomová práce se zabývá problematikou rodičovského dohledu nad volným časem jejich dětí. Zaměřuje se konkrétně na děti, které rodiče přivedli kvůli jejich problematickému chování ve škole nebo doma až do ambulantního oddělení Střediska výchovné péče v Děčíně, kde autorka vykonává funkci speciálního pedagoga etopeda. V teoretické části je vysvětlen pojem volný čas z pohledu nejenom renomovaných odborníků, ale také z pohledu rodičů dětí. V další části je diskutováno o výchově ke správnému využívání volného času dětí, a jakou roli v tom hraje samotný osobní příklad rodičů a jejich postoje k volnočasovým aktivitám jejich dětí. Výzkum, který byl na toto téma realizován, ukazuje, jaký obrovský význam má pro správný vývoj dítěte to, jak se rodiče staví k jeho potřebám, kolik času věnují svému dítěti a jak mu pomáhají naplňovat jeho volný čas.The master thesis deals with the issue of parental supervision over their children's free time. It focuses specifically on the children, whose parents brought them because of their problematic behaviour at school or at home to the outpatient department of the Centre of educational care in Děčín, where the author performs the function (the role) of the special pedagogue etoped. The theoretical part explains the notion of leisure time not only from the experts' point of view but also from the perspective of parents. The next part is concerned with education to the proper use of free time of children and with the role of what plays the personal example of parents and their attitudes towards leisure activities of their children. Research carried out on this subject shows how great im-portance for proper development of children has parents' attitudes to their needs, the time they devote to them and how they help them to fill their free time

The current situation on the reinsurance market

katedra: KPO; rozsah: 76 s., 3 s. přílohThe aim of my diploma thesis is the evaluation of actual situation of the reinsurance market. The reinsurance market very strongly affects the insurance market, which is displayed in various preventive activities of insurance companies but also in the price of insurance. Today, the insurance industry is affected by catastrophes, which are cause by climatic effects or people. The first part of my thesis describes the risks, which exist in insurance business and the possibilities of insurance companies to minimize these risks. Next I deal with particular forms and types of reinsurance. I characterize facultative and obligatory reinsurance and I describe the traditional and alternative possibilities of the risk transmission. The second part explains legal regulations of the reinsurace in the Czech Republic. I describe the situation on the insurance and reinsurance market and I try to analyse the possibilities of its development. Next I focuse on reinsurace in the world after the devastating hurricanes in 2005. I would like to show the way the catastrophic incidents affect the insurance and reinsurance markets.Cílem mé diplomové práce je zhodnocení současné situace na zajistném trhu. Zajistný trh velmi silně působí na pojistný trh, to se projevuje v různé zábranné činnosti pojišťoven, ale také v ceně pojištění. Dnes je pojišťovnictví ovlivněno katastrofami, které jsou způsobeny klimatickými vlivy ale také lidmi. V první části práce popisuji rizika, která existují v pojišťovnictví, a možnosti pojišťoven tato rizika snižovat. Dále se zabývám konkrétními formami a typy zajištění. Charakterizuji fakultativní a obligatorní zajištění a popisuji tradiční i alternativní možnosti přenosu rizika. V druhé části se zabývám právní úpravou zajištění v České republice. Popisuji situaci na trhu se zajištěním a pokusím se odhalit možnosti jeho rozvoje. Dále jsem se zaměřila na zajištění ve světě po ničivých hurikánech v roce 2005. Chtěla bych ukázat, jak se katastrofické události promítají na pojistných a zajistných trzích

Can Children of Different Ages Recognize Dog Communication Signals in Different Situations?

The presented study examines the ability of 265 children aged 4–12 years to correctly assign contextual cues and inner state values to a set of audio and audio-visual recordings of dog vocalizations and behaviors in different situations. Participants were asked to mark which situation each recording captured, what inner state of the dog it showed, and what inner state a human would feel in the same situation. Recognition of the inner state of dogs was affected by the age of the child when evaluating the audio recordings (p < 0.001), and such a tendency was revealed in evaluating the audiovisual materials (p = 0.08). The inner state of dog evaluation was associated with both the situation assessment (p < 0.01) and human inner state (p < 0.001) in the case of audio recordings, but it was only correlated with situation assessment in audio-visual recordings (p < 0.01). The contextual situations were recognized by the participants only in the audio materials, with “stranger” being the best recognized situation, while “play” was the least recognized. Overall, children aged 4–5 years showed a limited ability to understand dog signals compared to children aged 6–12 years, who were successful in recognizing the dogs’ stimuli more than 80% of the time. Therefore, children younger than 6 years of age require increased supervision when interacting with dogs

Increased resistance to sudden noise by audio stimulation during early ontogeny in German shepherd puppies

<div><p>The period of early ontogeny constitutes a time when the physical immaturity of an organism is highly susceptible to external stimuli. Thus, early development plays a major role in shaping later adult behavior. The aim of the study was to check whether stimulating puppies at this early stage in life with sound would improve their responsiveness towards unfamiliar noises during the selection process of the police behavioral test for puppies. The cohort comprised 37 puppies from the litters of three mothers. At the commencement of the experiment the dogs were aged 16 days, rising to the age of 32 days at its close. The mothers and litters of the treatment group were either exposed to radio broadcasts, (see below; three litters totaling 19 puppies), while the control group was not exposed to any radio programs (eight litters totaling 18 puppies). All three mothers had previously experienced both auditory circumstances, as described herein. Ordinary radio broadcasts were played to the puppies in the treatment group three times a day for 20 minute periods, always during feeding time. The cohort was subjected to the so-called Puppy Test, i.e. analysis of the potential of each animal, once the dogs had reached the age of 7 weeks. Such tests included exposure to a sudden noise caused by a shovel (100 dB), noise when alone in a room, and response to loud distracting stimuli (the latter two at 70 dB). Said tasks were rated by the same analyst on a scale of 0–5 points; the better the response of the dog, the higher the score given. The differences between the treatment and control groups were analyzed via Mixed Models (PROC MIXED) in SAS. The animals comprising the treatment group responded with a higher score to the sudden noise caused by the shovel than the control dogs (P<0.01). Interestingly, gender was seen to affect response, with the males scoring more than the females (P<0.1). In conclusion, the results suggested that audio stimulation early in life improved the response of the dogs to intense sudden noise, as caused by the shovel. Therefore, acoustic stimulation during the very early period of life has the potential to raise the necessary skills of dogs for military and police purposes, or civilian life.</p></div

How Parents Perceive the Potential Risk of a Child-Dog Interaction

Dog attacks on children are a widespread problem, which can occur when parents fail to realise a potentially dangerous interaction between a dog and a child. The aim of the study was to evaluate the ability of parents to identify dangerous situations from several everyday child&ndash;dog interactions and to determine whether the participants connected these situations to a particular breed of dog. Five sets of photographs depicting potentially dangerous interactions from everyday situations between children and three dogs (one of each breed) were presented via an online survey to parents of children no more than 6 years old. Data from 207 respondents were analysed using proc GLIMMIX in SAS program, version 9.3. The probability of risk assessment varied according to dog breed (p &lt; 0.001) as well as to the depicted situation (p &lt; 0.001). Results indicated that Labrador Retriever was considered the least likely of the three dogs to be involved in a dangerous dog-child interaction (with 49% predicting a dangerous interaction), followed by Parson Russell Terrier (63.2%) and American Pit Bull Terrier (65%). Participants considered one particular dog-child interaction named &lsquo;touching a bowl&rsquo; a dangerous interaction at a high rate (77.9%) when compared with the other presented situations, which were assessed as dangerous at rates of 48.4% to 56.5%. The breed of dog seems to be an influential factor when assessing a potentially dangerous outcome from a dog-child interaction. Contrary to our hypothesis, interactions involving the small dog (Russell Terrier) were rated more critically, similarly to those of the Pit Bull Terrier. These results suggest that even popular family dog breeds, such as Labrador Retrievers, should be treated with more caution
