early-career women academic researchers in the Czech Republic (CR). It examines a sample of
women academics to see how their career paths unfold over time and identify the mechanisms,
factors, and barriers that affect their academic careers in the early stages. The article looks at
This study focuses on the approaches used by Czech social workers operating in the field of child protection to resolve parental conflicts and looks specifically at their inclination to employ defensive practice. Defensive practice involves prioritising regulations and prescribed rules over the interests of clients, i.e. parents and children.
The aim of this manuscript is to analyze notions of democracy among Czech mayors. Czechia is dotted with municipalities of various sizes, each with its own mayor, each of whom has a vision of how democracy at the local level should be practiced. Our focus here is on two types of democracies that are seen as alternatives: participatory democracy and representative democracy.
The paper discusses how selective pronatalism has been incorporated into childcare and reproductive health policies in the socialist state of Czechoslovakia (1948–1989). It answers the question of how pronatalist framing has been used to categorise ‘others’, whose procreation has been deemed undesirable.
The final monograph of a research project on "Return of Religion in the Public Space" is the first and only analyse of the divergent post-secularisation development of religion in the Czech Republic and Slovakia since the dissolution of Czechoslovakia.
This study explores the acquiescent response style (ARS) among respondents in the Czech Republic. To analyse ARS, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was employed and the response style (RS) was modelled as a latent variable. The RS factor in the CFA model must be validated by its relationship to education and age, i.e. proxies of cognitive ability. The two studies presented in this article use large amount of data as all available balanced batteries of items were analysed.
Severe material deprivation, a dimension of the poverty and social exclusion index, one of Europe 2020 Strategy headline indicators, is defined as enforced lack of at least four of nine specific items.

The primary objective of this study was to analyse the development of the effect of the bachelor’s and master’s tertiary degree on both respondents’ wage and socioeconomic status in the Czech labour market ten years after the Bologna Process. For the purposes
Since the concept of ‘local biologies’ was proposed in the 1990s, it has been used to examine biosocial processes that transform human bodies in similar and different ways around the globe. This paper explores understandings of biosocial differentiation and convergence in the case of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in the Czech Republic.
Energy production and energy facilities and projects are based on scientific knowledge and they require employment of various kinds of technologies. This links energy development with a more general view of natural sciences and technologies and their function in contemporary advanced societies. The impact of technologies on everyday lives of individuals, groups and communities has been growing unprecedentedly in recent decades.
As people living in the EU states we take it for granted that a source of electricity will be there whenever we need it. It is a considerably less self-evident matter, how the electricity we rely on is supposed to be produced and distributed. The energy sector stands at a crossroads today and newly emerging options of energy strategies challenge the old ways of doing the business.
Schutz’s concept of intersubjectivity departs from radical, philosophical analyses of the constitution of the other (alter ego) in my consciousness. Instead, he takes the existence of the other and his or her subjectivity for granted and investigates the intersubjective relations of understanding and action among individuals. The shifting of phenomenological lifeworld theory from philosophy to sociology enables Schütz to study social interaction and order.

Nesezdané soužití se stává stále častěji prostředím, ve kterém jsou vychovávány děti. Manželství již nepředstavuje jedinou společensky přijímanou formu partnerského soužití.

Lapitola se zaměřuje na interakci mezi vládou a opozicí v českém parlamentu a poskytuje pohled na fungování roztříštěné politiky - rozdělená opozice a slabá vláda. Kapitola ukazuje na příkladu hospodářské krize rozdílnost chování obou typů parlamentní opozice. Postoj permanentní opozice vůči úsporám a rozpočtu je odmítavý a v souladu s její ideologickou linií. Mainstreamová opozice vykazuje více variant chování, které se pohybuje mezi konsensuálním a odmítavým.
