The Revision of selected Lower Carboniferous Arthropods from the Moravian Karst
Rak, Štěpán
In my dissertation thesis I made a revision of two selected groups of Lower Carboniferous arthropds from the Moravian Karst: trilobites and thylacocephalans. I studied their systematics, autecology as well as taxonomy. In the first part I mapped an occurrence of an atheloptic trilobite association in the Březina village vicinity. Based on a study the new trilobite association is erected. The second part is focused on the very first discovery of Lower Carboniferous thylacocephalan outside of US. Its specific carapace structure is studied. New species Paraconcavicaris viktoryni (Broda et al. 2020) is determined and compared to known species.

Krein, Nikita ; RAK, Štěpán (advisor) ; ZELENKA, Milan (referee)
This thesis deals with the contribution of Belarusian composers to the 20th and 21st century guitar repertoire. The aim of this is to highlight important role of authors from Belarusian guitar school in creating guitar repertoire not only in Belarusian context. The first part of this thesis focuses on the works of professional composers composing for guitar, as well as the works of Belarusian guitarplayers-composers.Also, I systematised published ,usic material and methodological publications regarding guitar, from the historically first guitar anthology in Belarus till today. In the second part, I analysed chosen guitar composition of Belarusian author - the Concert for guitar , strings and bells from Galina Gorelova.
While determining the contribution of Belarusian composers to guitar repertoire, I first researched the background of professional guitar education and interpretation in Belarus in soviet times. These are the roots of madern professional guitar composer school. The work of particular composers has been analysed based on their interpretation, pedagogic and composer activity in historical and music - cultural context.
I analysed the Concert for guitar, strings and bells in three parts from G. Gorelova from the point of view of guitar part, its role in this composition, dramaturgical content and musical form.I managed to systematise the work of Belarusian composers- guitar players and non - guitar players, as well as publishing of their opuses and compositions, and to include them into a broader context of Belarusian guitar school development.
The benefit of work lies in highlighting the role of Belorusia composers in creating guitar repertoire not only in Belarus. Based on data ascertaned, it is possible to contend that Belarusian guitar players and composers contribute significantly to the 20th and 21st century guitar repertoire.
