The Image of Woman in the Old and New Testaments
Vlnas, Jan ; Ryšková, Mireia (advisor) ; Brož, Jaroslav (referee)
he diploma thesis called "P r e s e n t a t i o n o f F e m a l e C h a r a c t e r s i n t he O l d a n d N e w T e s t a m e n t s " endeavours to examine the depiction of female characters in the texts of the Old and New Testaments. The deuterocanonical books and addictions to Esther and Daniel are taken into account too. A list of the female characters and the interpretation of their names proves not only that there are many of them but also their importance. The classification suggested by this thesis is based on women's role in the story of our salvation and representative examples of these characters show their typical features as well as the personal ones. The characters are further described by means of the theological and historical context. Conclusions of these analyses are confronted with the commonly shared views and stereotypes in particular because of their claim that the Bible strongly promotes the patriarchal life concept. The author has concluded that the female characters in the Bible are much more important than people commonly think. Biblical authors naturally shared the patriarchal view of the world, in spite of it we can assume that they didn't belittle the importance of women. T

Blockchain database and it's implementation in libraries
Cironis, Adam ; Šlerka, Josef (advisor) ; Vlnas, Jan (referee)
The bachelor thesis' topic is aimed at the blockchain database technology that deals with possible use-cases in libraries. The author analyzes the possibilities of implementing blockchain databases into sectors that are not the most open to the innovations, namely the librarianship. The author also emphasizes the different types of the theoretical and the practical applications of blockchain databases. The theoretical part also introduces the fundamental principles of blockchain databases and also explains the operation of the general blockchain database. Furthermore, the author focuses on a detailed description of the indicators of advantages and disadvantages associated with every each one use-case. At the same time, there is briefly mapped the current situation of library systems. In the practical part there are described and designed two conceptual models of how to proceed to the implementation of blockchain. At first the author discusses the problem that the model solves. Then follows a description of a particular solution. This is followed by the conceptual model itself with the analysis of the selected consensus. In the end of this thesis there are explained the possible extensions for the future and the evaluation of the benefits of this solution are discussed.

Utilisation of Decentralized Technology in Scholarly Communication
Krejčiřík, Matěj ; Dvořák, Jan (advisor) ; Vlnas, Jan (referee)
This thesis presents a detailed explanation and argumentation of why modern decentralized technologies could be utilized in order to improve scholarly communication on many fronts. The current model of scholarly communication, which is dominated by scientific journals, is analysed together with the current economic models in use. The thesis also briefly investigates peer reviews. It also endeavors to explain how scholarly goods might be perceived from an economic standpoint. Blockchain technology offers functionalities that could potentially solve many problems associated with scholarly communication through decentralization. Both permissioned and permissionless blockchains, their implementations, interesting technical/economic/governance aspects and why they are such a unique match for scholarly needs are thoroughly analyzed and explained. Finally minimal viability criteria suitable for assessment of decentralized scholarly projects are proposed. Existing decentralized applications which try to migrate scholarly communication from a current centralized system to a decentralized one are described and examined through the prism of this framework.

The Web That Wasn't: Xanadu and alternative approaches to hypertext
Vlnas, Jan ; Šisler, Vít (advisor) ; Malečková, Dita (referee)
Project Xanadu is a complex hypertext system, a predecessor of the World Wide Web, which has not been implemented in its full potential. The goal of the thesis is to describe features of Xanadu and to critically evaluate implementation options of these features in the current Web with benefits and limitations of this approach. The thesis introduces a historical context of hypertext systems and analyzes Project Xanadu from two viewpoints: as a set of abstract designs and as a series of software prototypes. The thesis defines main features and goals of Xanadu and recontextualizes them for the current Web using new web standards and technologies. Based on the proposed solutions a new design is conceived which implements features of Xanadu in the context of the Web.
