Heráňová, Anna ; Randák, Jan (advisor) ; Stehlík, Michal (referee)
1 ABSTRACT The bachelor's thesis deals with the "action castles" 1945-1947 organized by the educator and humanist Přemysl Pitter. It seeks to conceptualize it not as an isolated event, but to place it in the broader context of a position of a child in post-war Czechoslovakia. It examines its ideological origins and institutional arrangements, the process of admitting children to the castles, the rules of everyday life and the subsequent possibilities for children after their recovery. It also takes into account the national aspect, especially the specifics that concerned the German children. In addition to the naturally important role of the protagonists of the event, it also focuses on the extent of the influence of the state and the contemporary approach to health and hygiene. KEYWORDS "action castles", Přemysl Pitter, social care, childcare, sanatorium, healthcare, Czech-German relations, Czechoslovakia 1945-1947

This bachelor's thesis deals with the influence of the Czech Social Democratic Party in opposition on the minority coalition government led by Václav Klaus in the years 1996-1998. The support from this party was crucial for the government and it was supposed to manifest itself during the vote of confidence but also the vote on government proposals. The aim of this thesis is to find out how the influence manifested itself, but also how it shaped itself during the election period, as there were changes in the parliamentary groups, which changed the ratio of votes between the coalition and the opposition. The thesis also presents the role of Miloš Zeman, which was also very important during this election period. Moreover, the thesis also focuses on government proposals, which were successfully enforced thanks to the votes of the Czech Social Democratic Party, but also tries to find out whether the party's electoral programme promises were carried out or not, which will be pointed out on several examples. Last but not least, the thesis deals with the overall political situation during this time period, which was accompanied by disagreements in the coalition but also by scandals that eventually led to the resignation of the government and the emergence of a semi-official government led by the Czech...

Sterzik, Josef ; Michela, Miroslav (advisor) ; Stehlík, Michal (referee)
The bachelor thesis is about Opus Dei, the only personal prelature in the Catholic Church. However, the thesis focuses mainly on the origins of the male branch in the Czech Republic. The thesis is based on the analysis of historical works and for the last chapter the method of oral history is used. My oral history research focuses on the narratives of the three founding members of the Prelature in the Czech Republic. The whole thesis can be divided into three parts. In the first part, the life of the founder and the related history of the organization and its structure are written, based on secondary literature of Czech, German and English provenance. I draw here mainly on the three-volume biography of Josemaría by the Spanish historian Vazquez. I deal with the person of the founder quite thoroughly in my work, as his person is very central to understanding Opus Dei. Members often refer to him and various feasts are celebrated throughout the year relating to important events in his life. I also describe the legal development and organizational structure of Opus Dei. The second part of the thesis concerns the situation of the Catholic Church between 1945-1989. Here I try to clarify the somewhat specific background of the situation of the Church in Czechoslovakia before the arrival of Opus Dei. The...
