Given the demographic aging of the population, the theme of taking the family care of seniors becomes an ever more important problem of the research in sociology. In accordance with this, the target of the study is searching for methods and principles of helping family members within the family. The article is based on a sociological research, which inter alia studied the measure of the financial help granted, emotional support and support through taking care of non-self-sufficient family members between generations. In attempts to reveal principles of the inter-generation care, three theories were tested as follows: the reciprocal theory, the theory of obligation and the theory of attachment. The author used an analysis of quantitative data from an inquiry examination for their corroboration or refusal. Four hundred and eleven persons who intensively took care of senior family members and 203 respondents having no experience with the family care were inquired. In a questionnaire, the respondents reported the transfer of help between them and their children similarly as between them and their parents. Thus, the data offer an insight into the situation of help within families over three generations. In the article, basic theoretical concepts and methods of the work are first described. After that, there is a description of findings concerning the magnitude of the help granted in families and a subchapter dealing with effects of selected attitudes. Thereafter, the author tries to find a model of taking care of family members. The purpose of the work is to show what types and methods of the help in the family exert mutual interactions. The author conclusively supports the capacity of the theory of the obligation, which can most properly explain taking care of seniors in families. On the other hand, a new hypothesis was also found concerning contextual reasons for the inter-generation solidarity. Whereas in the families taking the care, the theory of the obligation can be most appropriately implemented, in families which do not take a care of seniors it seems that certain aspects of the attachment theory of the family solidarity are prevalent.
Protecting of historic roofs is an important part of efforts to protect our cultural heritage. These wooden structures carry a lot of information about the authentic tools, technologies and construction processes. Trusses are generally endangered by many risks that could cause irrecoverable damage and loss of information. In addition to the threat wood destroying insect and fungi, should not be forgotten on fire threats that may start from lightning, through electrical installations, to the burning of the surrounding dry grass areas. Historical wooden trusses are with respect to the old wood, indoor climate, the unavailability or the fact that many national cultural monuments are located outside of the inhabited territories, very susceptible to fires. Nevertheless, there are many methods, which are used for new buildings, but unusable for historical truss, and others were proved to be unsuitable by the time. This article analyses the possibilities of modern firefighting arrangements in the historic truss with regard to the specific construction conditions and with regard to the very rare substructure, which should not be damaged.
