Struggle with the Liquid Muse: Law persecuting serving alcohol drinks and conditions his origin.
Balogh, Branislav ; Randák, Jan (advisor) ; Rychlík, Jan (referee)
The Youth Protection Act was the first standard to define the age at which a young person could consume alcoholic beverages.

I pay close attention to its prohibition in Slovakia, the reason for which was the image of Slovakia as a country loaded with governmentally allocated alcohol. I notice the logic behind the violations of the law which legitimized such actions.

Since I was fascinated to find out whether there was a...

Uvízlová, Tereza ; Rychlík, Jan (advisor) ; Randák, Jan (referee)
The thesis "Changes in Landscape and Population in the Czech Borderlands after 1945 with a Focus on the Hrubý Jeseník Area" describes and looks into transformations of our country's borderlands from the end of World War II to circa 1960. The thesis summarizes a series of complex events and processes. Key subtopics include the expulsion of former inhabitants and the settlement of newcomers. Tied or directly linked to these two subtopics are various other processes that took place in the area. The thesis touches upon forced collectivization, the disappearance of human dwellings, landscape changes, the state authorities that implemented borderlands policy, population groups moved to this area, the return migration from the borderlands, the settlement efforts in the 1950s, etc. Another part of the thesis expounds post-war circumstances in the Hrubý Jeseník area, i.e. in the districts of Bruntál, Rýmařov, Jeseník, and Šumperk. Since after the war, the failure of the settlement policy has had immediate and long-term consequences for this region, even more so than in other border areas. The chapter about Hrubý Jeseník presents the main reasons of the region's sparse population and profound transformations. Changes in the population and life of a foothill village are illustrated with an example of Dolní...
