Anti-Plague texts in the late Middle Ages and the Early modern period.
PAMPUSCHOVÁ, Marie
The theme of this work are late medieval and early modern time anti-plague treatises and official regulations against plague. In times when many countries and even continents were affected by plague, many city councils and rulers themself had the treatises printed in order to reduce the risk of transmission of the infection and development of the illness. The treatises adjusted regulations of towns and villages. These official decrees against plague were supplemented with plague treatises that were written for inhabitants of towns affected by black death. Many of them were written in Latin and therefore incomprehensible to uneducated people. It changed when a doctor Jan Černý wrote such a treatise in Czech language. The treatises advised not only how to prevent plague but also how to treat it. I divided my work into two parts. In the first part I describe particular plague epidemics that took place especially in Bohemia and Moravia. I progressed chronologically from antiquity to the 18th century and described whole course of epidemics in various regions. In the second part I focused mainly on different ways how these treatises deal with prevention and treatment of the disease. I made a comparison of various plague treatises from Prague, České Budějovice and Nepomuk. In order to gather data and informations I focused on historical sources and literature that give us informations from people who had first-hand experience of plague. I do the overall comparison and critique of these sources in seperate chapter. I believe this work can work as an educational material for students and teacher

Influence of transportation on quality of delivered food (Experience of boarders)
ŽUFOVÁ, Pavlína
In this bachelor thesis I deal with the influence of transport on quality of distributed food with focus on experience of the boarders. The paper is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part is concerned with the HACCP system representing the preventive measures that serve for provision of health harmlessness of food in processes related to its production, treatment, storing and transport. This system is required as a part of every catering establishment. The work analyses the legislation and is concerned with duties of the operators and the persons who carry out epidemiologically serious activities while it focuses on the maintenance of their personal hygiene. In the final work I point out the potential but in fact threatening health danger of food. I classify these food risks and suggest some possibilities of elimination of such risks. The final work studies the alimentary infections that are caused mostly by wrong technological treatment or ignoring the hygienic rules. In the work I introduce and point out the hygienic requirements that should be respected, followed and fulfilled in the process and preparation of food. I further describe transport wrapping, transport of food itself and the rules of food delivery and its serving. In the practical part I use the theoretical findings from the first part of this bachelor thesis. In this part I make a brief description of the main university canteen. The K2 refectory is described in more details and I analyse the process from filling into the food containers to the process of serving the food. Simultaneously, I emphasize the temperature of particular dishes that has to be kept during the transport as well as during the process of serving. For comparison and evaluation of the results I chose a quantitative research method. This method was realised in a form of a questionnaire. I distributed the questionnaires personally to the students of the Faculty of Health and Social Studies, in building of which the K2 refectory is placed, and the students addressed near the main university canteen. The questionnaire was anonymous and contained 21 close-ended questions. Both research samples received the same questionnaires that differed only in the sequence of particular questions. In total, 220 questionnaires were handed out, 110 in each place. The percentage of questionnaires returned was 100 %. Considering the fact that I eliminated two questionnaires from the K2 refectory and five questionnaires from the main university canteen due to their wrong completing, the real percentage of questionnaires returned in the K2 refectory was 98 % and in the main university canteen 95 %. The particular data obtained in the questionnaires were further processed in Microsoft Office Excel and Microsoft Office Word. The aim of this work was to chart the experience of the boarders in the K2 refectory who consume fresh, although delivered food. The process of transportation could debase food therefore the quality of food might decrease. The experience of these students were subsequently compared with the experience of students who board in the main university canteen where the food is prepared (cooked) and consumed immediately. Based on two main goals, I determined three hypotheses: Hypothesis number 1: Transportation of food has negative influence on the sensorial qualities of food. On the basis of the statistical testing, this hypothesis was rejected. Hypothesis number 2: Students prefer fresh food. After the statistical testing, this hypothesis is valid. Hypothesis number 3: Students do not feel the difference between fresh and delivered food. This hypothesis is valid as well. The results gained and processed during my research will be presented to the university canteen staff that could use the findings in practice.

Analysis of the behaviour of selected categories of breeding cows
VESELÁ, Tereza
The aim of this thesis was to assess the differences in behavior of the two categories of beef cattle of Limousine breed, reared in the system without market production of milk, specifically heifers and cows with calves. Two seasons were selected (summer and winter) for the observation and the accent was on observing basic categories of behavior, such as feed intake, rest, standing and movement. The place where the research took place was the farm "Černěveský háj" located on the boundary of Strakonice, Prachatice and Budějovice district. Both behavioral studies were conducted for whole twenty-four hours. For night monitoring hunting camera with programmable video recording was used. The recorded data were written to the ethogram using descriptive interval method with length of interval of 10 minutes. During both observations the fundamental rules of ethology were respected. Traced values were evaluated by absolute time, its percentage and frequency and were subsequently completed with appropriate description. The results from this ethological research of heifers and cows with calves during two different seasons show that older cows have more regular and more keep basic categories of behavior during the day and more extend their regular behavior even throughout the year. Older subjects are able to make better use of pasture than heifers and address to it more time of the day (40% resp. 35%). During consummation of preserved feed ration heifers shortened their feed intake compared to cows (39% resp. 31%). By heifers there was also significant movement restriction, but to a lesser extent than in the case of cows. At the same time heifers prolonged period of rest from 33% to 50%. In conclusion, the obtained results show that the area in which the cows are kept is suitable for raising beef cattle without market production of milk. The breeder could only focus more on supplementing of graze with elements supporting natural welfare of beef cattle in year-round grazing.

"Death, Death, you are always so carving of lives." Mortality and funeral ritual in Cheb in the second half of 19th century
KOLOUCHOVÁ, Jana
The presented thesis deals with the phenomenon of death in the second half of the 19th century using the area around the Cheb town as an example. The source base is made up by information from Christian registers of deaths, prescriptive regulations and tangible evidences. As a main methodological basis the Historical Demography was chosen, but the other approaches were used as a Historical Anthropology and Art History. The most important emphasis was oriented on getting results from statistical research. The index of death issues was researched from several circumstances. Not only the data on approximate life expectancy, infant mortality and seasonal movement was reached, but also the analysis of the causes of death was made with the respect of its German terms. The attention was oriented on infectious diseases, with which the society of the second half of 19th century was afflicted too. The question of spread of epidemics is given into the wider context in the subsequent chapter, which is devoted to influence to prevent the gradual lengthening of life expectancy. The attention was devoted to the analysis of preserved tombstones from the 2nd half of 19th century on the base of fieldwork. The artifacts were assessed from the point of view of artistic representation. The epitaphs were recorded as well for the identification of specific persons. The conclusion of this topic was the thought of vandalism of modern time and the importance of preservation of the testimonial of funeral culture as a proof of high art. The main aim of presented thesis is not only to find out what were the mortality situations of the monitored period, but also the changes of funeral rite influenced by emancipation of bourgeois society. The connection with early modern period tradition of colossal noble funeral ceremony was pointed out. The shift of attention from the deceased to the bereaved was substantiated on the analysis of the preserved tombstones from the second half of 19th century and from the parsing of the funeral announcements in the regional press. The complexity was amplified by the study of lives of the two generations of sculptors from Cheb, who influenced unchangeably the appearance of the local cemetery. Thanks to the language analysis of the term ?the Death? presented on the pages of Glossaries from that time and by the excursion into the folk?s habits connected with the end of life journey of rural population, the issues of Death and funeral ritual were studied from multiple perspectives. For obtaining the complete view, there was necessary to work not only with results of statistics, but also to consider the interdisciplinary approach.
