The bachelor thesis contains the analysis of four volumes of the textbook of world and Czech history for grammar school and high school students, written in Czech language: 'Dějepis pro gymnázia a střední školy', Praha 2001 - 2002, author of it's conception is Petr Čornej. The bachelor thesis evaluates the frequency of content related to Christianity to all of the content of the texbook. This frequency in four volumes is 5,25%, 35,80%, 3,83% and 2,21% respectively. The bachelor thesis also identifies all the negative or positive statements on Christianity. The result of the thesis is that the frequency of content related to Christianity is adequate, if we take into consideration that the textbook mainly deals with political history. The negative and positive statements are not an intention of the authors, but a result of mistakes, clumsiness and unintentional acceptation of historical paterns we could find in school texbooks in era of the former state regime.

Bulířová, Michaela ; Opatrný, Aleš (advisor) ; Kuźniar, Mariusz (referee)
Firstly, the present thesis, "The Impact of The Society of Jezus on education in The Czech lands", introduces a person of Ignatius of Loyola, who founded the Society of Jezus, and gives a short overview of events including the establishment of the Society and its expansion mainly in Europe. Concerning this the thesis answers a question of some typical features of The Company. The history of the Society in the Czech lands follows. This chapter also includes some notable Czech members of the Society of Jesus. A view of process of education in the Czech lands introduces a second part of the thesis. In the second part of the thesis there is reflected education though time. There is pointed out the influence of the Society not only on process of school education, but also on process of education in general. However, it is difficult to see all of these in complexity of contemporary education. Moreover, it is not the point of the thesis to cover this complexity of problems of education, so the emphasis is put on some main periods and forms of Jesuits' activities. Considering all of this, of course it is possible to find some disadvantages of their impact on society, but anyway, in this case positive aspects are more noteworthy.

Existential-analytic concept of meaning in life and its implications for the care of seriously and terminally ill patients of health care facilities
Kalvínská, Eva ; Ventura, Václav (advisor) ; Balcar, Karel (referee) ; Opatrný, Aleš (referee)
In Czech hospitals, a patient's problems are usually perceived mainly as troubles of a somatic nature, which reduces the quality of the care provided. It is usually very professional in terms of fulfilling the patient's physical needs. However, the care provided in the domain of the patient's psycho-social needs is developing rather slowly, while caring for their spiritual needs is either totally absent or only beginning to be realized and offered. This thesis looks into the ways in which the spiritual needs, above all the need to find a meaning in one's life, can be examined, understood, and fulfilled - especially in people that are seriously, incurably or terminally ill. The hospital staff do not have enough experience concerning the care of the spiritual dimension of man, nor do they have enough knowledge and skills to provide the necessary care and assistance, although such needs could often be crucial for the quality of life of such patients. V. E. Frankl's antropology, which is the basis of his therapeutic approach of logotherapy and existential analysis, is applied here as one of the theoretical models that are suitable for the clinical application of this thesis. This approach concentrates on the fulfillment and/or the frustration of the human quest for meaning during common as well as...
