Buřičová, Karolína Tamara ; Strnadová, Lucie (advisor) ; Arndt, Tomáš (referee)
The diploma thesis on the topic of The importance of empiricism in the work of Jan Evangelista Purkyně describes his approach to medicine, experiments designed by him and the study of the physiology of the human body through the senses. At the beginning of my work, I briefly describe the historical context and Purkyně's concept of subjective observation. His philosophical ideas about the soul and psychological knowledge are also described here. The main part of the work contains a detailed description of Purkyně's experiments in the field of experimental pharmacology, visual phenomena but also on hearing and dizziness. Based on these experiments, Purkyně then contributed to new discoveries key to medicine as we know it now.

Communication of Science in the 19th Century with Regard to the Work of J.E. Purkyně
Fišerová, Ivana ; Soukup, Martin (advisor) ; Knapík, Jiří (referee)
The diploma thesis "Communication of Science in the 19th Century with Regard to the Work of Jan Evangelista Purkyně" maps the development of communication of science during the Czech National Revival and proves the enormous role of science in the development of society, language, culture and politics. The work pays special attention to one of the greatest revivalists of this time, Jan Evangelist Purkyně, who had a huge influence on the formation of today's scientific society. The first part presents the theoretical basis of science communication, which serves as evidence of its influence on emancipation processes in the Czech lands in the 19th century. That means the overall context, then the biography and contribution of Jan Evangelista Purkyně, the development of Czech science, which is important for understanding this area, and finally the first Czech scientific journals, whose founder, or at least a partial initiator of their establishment, was Purkyně. The second part of the work is empirical and analyzes the editorials of the first period of publishing the scientific journal Živa in the years 1853-1867, ie during the leadership of Purkyně and Krejčí. With a qualitative content analysis, a political subtext and a challenging publishing activity in these years is illustrated there.
