Immersion Tin Surface Finish of PCB
Karzel, Vítězslav ; Zatloukal, Miroslav (referee) ; Starý, Jiří (advisor)
The aim of this work is to study and more deeply understand everything about surface finishing of the printed circuit boards, that are used for lead-free soldering. Mainly we should focus on immersion tin and prepare some fundamental information for future measurement. Therefore, in the first part of the thesis is our main task is to create a~sufficient theoretical background for printed circuit boards, immersion tin and solderability. Then we are able to use previously created theoretical background to measure selected samples. Thereafter the measured data can be used for more strict evaluation, from which the results of measurement can be obtained.

Golden foils from Borg - iconographical and religious analysis
Gorroňová, Marianna ; Starý, Jiří (advisor) ; Janák, Jiří (referee)
5A Abstract This work gives the analysis of iconographic elements which are found on five gold foils. These foils depict two figures which look at each other from their profile. Foils were found in the foundations of the chieftain house in Lofot's islands in Northern Norway, which is from the Migration to the Viking period. For the reason of analysis the author demonstrates three main groups of gold objects - gold bracteates, gold foils and one medallion. On these objects we can find a pair of two figures and these objects were found in Scandinavia. The author presents here the context of such finds, iconographic elements and academic interpretations of the depiction. Author compares the elements such as type of foil, appearance of eyes, posture of man and woman, their dress and haidress with 91 foils from Scandinavia, and also with bracteates and other objects. She notices the partial concordance among these elements and the other objects and she seeks the iconographic essence and function of each foil from Borg which is later confronted with the theories of the influence of religion. Because of lack of attributes on the foils, the author's assumption is that there is no general depiction of gods on the foil. On the other hand, each foil has its own story showing people from their common life. According to...

Sturla Þórðarson: his work in context of his time and an analysis of the authorial intent
Korecká, Lucie ; Starý, Jiří (advisor) ; Březinová, Helena (referee)
Sturla Þórðarson: his work in context of his time and an analysis of the authorial intent The purpose of this thesis is to analyse the literary-historiographical works of Sturla Þórðarson with regard to the specific historical situation at the time of their origin and the methods and authorial intent of this 13th century Icelandic historian. The introductory chapters give a brief overview of Sturla Þórðarson's life in a broader historical context, based on the extant primary sources, and of his literary and literary- historiographical works. The major topic of the thesis is an analysis and comparison of two of the author's works, Íslendinga saga and Hákonar saga Hákonarsonar, in context of various scholars' views of medieval historiography. The former saga belongs to the genre of samtíðarsögur (contemporary sagas), the latter to the genre of konungasögur (kings' sagas). Both works present the same historical period. The major object of analysis is the differences in the author's approach to the historical material in his literary-historiographical works of different genres; this analysis is followed by an attempt to explain the differences. The first part of the thesis presents a separate analysis of each saga in context of the given genre. Both sagas are among the latest extant works in their respective...

Reflexion of the Norse Discovery of America
Novotná, Markéta ; Starý, Jiří (advisor) ; Polách, Vladimír (referee)
The thesis focuses on the reflection of the discovery of America by the Norsemen, and does so in three steps. Firstly, the approach to and the significance of the Norse voyages to America in the medieval materials, and especially in the Vinland sagas, are presented. This part is accompanied by a general introduction into the sagas. Secondly, the situation in the 19th century is introduced. In this period a lot of scientific works as well as works of art aiming at the Norse voyages to the New continent arose. The factors that led to this increased interest are explored, e.g. national movement in Scandinavia. Thirdly, the contemporary reflexion of the Norse discovery of America is analyzed (particularly its influence on works of art, society, politics and scientific research). The methodology used in this thesis is discourse analysis, which points out to the changing reflexion of the given topic.

Hel. The Old Norse underworld and its mistress
Ratajová, Kateřina ; Starý, Jiří (advisor) ; Antalík, Dalibor (referee)
The Old Norse realm of the dead and its mistress are both called Hel. This paper attempts to reconstruct the conception of Hel current in the period of recording the extant texts, because a search for the original form of it necessarily reduces the sources on the basis of the speculation about Christian influence. The method here used is an analysis of texts and occurences of the word hel with respect to genre and context. The scaldic and Eddic poems are considered the most valuable thanks to the conservation caused by metric rules. The chapters deal with terms, location of the underworld, conceptions connected to the voyage to Hel and the sojourn there, which are aspects of the Old Norse Hel - both as a locality and a person.

Seiðr
Šebetovská, Michaela ; Chlup, Radek (advisor) ; Starý, Jiří (referee)
SEIÐR Michaela Šebetovská AAAABSTRACTBSTRACTBSTRACTBSTRACT The thesis is about an Old-Norse practice called seiðr, which was performed as a prophetic and magical ritual, according to some authors similarly to shamanic ones. The emphasis is put on information obtained from the Old-Norse textual sources. Despite their fragmentary nature, the aim of this work is to make a well-arranged summary of the facts provided by these primary sources. The main subjects are the beings performing seiðr, their characteristics, place in society, equipment and conditions required for the ritual and its goal. This information is then used for interpretation and a detailed analysis of several aspects of seiðr.

Rose, oh pure contradiction... Form and funcion of philological "possibility"
Jakubcová, Alena ; Starý, Jiří (advisor) ; Zbytovský, Štěpán (referee)
The diploma thesis is based on the results of analysis of two literary works: Bebuquin (Carl Einstein) and Mein Name sei Gantenbein (Max Frisch). It express the changed worldview and understanding of literature at the turn of the ninetieth to the twentieth century and connect them into the term of possibility - as a new kind of lived and perceived reality. The analysis itself strides from one layer of the literary work to another and leads to the differentiation of the three possibility-types: the ›ambiguous diversion‹, ›open uncertainty‹ and ›empty incomprehensibility‹.

Þorr's voyage to Geirrøðr
Kozák, Jan ; Starý, Jiří (advisor) ; Antalík, Dalibor (referee)
The thesis analyzes eight versions of a narrative of thórr's journey to the dwelling place of thurs (giant) Geirrodr. These variant versions are preserved in several distinct genres and come down from different ages - the oldest is a scaldic poem from the time before the christianization of Scandinavia (10th century) whereas the other versions are written down by Christian Icelander Snorri Sturluson and Danish chronicler Saxo Grammaticus (both 13th c.). The youngest version is a fairy-tale short story from 15th c. The fact of diachronic and genre variation is used to track and analyze the changes of an originally religious narrative after the christianization, i.e. after the dissolution of the original pagan symbolic universe into the medieval (or even post-medieval) one. Although the basic pattern of the story and the names of the protagonists are preserved quite well (in respect to the time span and indirect transmission), the meaning and genre setting of the story is significantly altered: in the case of Saxo Grammaticus into euhemerized pseudohistory and in the case of 15th century short story into fairy-tale loosely connected to historical king Ólafr Tryggvason. This observation illustrate and confirm the process of demythization of pagan myths and show two genres where those myths are to be "stored"...

The Old Norse Periphrastic Future: The Origin, Grammaticalization and Meaning
Šimeček, David ; Starý, Jiří (advisor) ; Schulte, Michael (referee) ; Eyþórsson, Þórhallur (referee)
The subject of the dissertation is the origin of the Old Norse periphrastic future. First, it is shown that the main exponent of future in Old Norse, as opposed to other old Germanic languages, is the auxiliary verb munu, both in terms of its frequency and its remarkably neutral meaning. It is attested as such even in the oldest 9th century sources, the Skaldic poems. These characteristics of munu are in contrast with the other exponent of the periphrastic future, the verb skulu, which was less frequent and more modal. The futural character of munu and the modal character of skulu are further demonstrated by an analysis of the means of future expression used in prophecies and curses. Discussion of the grammaticalization of munu has shown that as early as the 9th century the verb had developed meanings that are derived from future (particularly the probability meaning). Hence, the futural use must have been fairly common for a considerably long period before the first attestations. Further evidence for the early use of munu-future in North Germanic comes from the reconstruction of the morphological development of the verb. It shows a transition from the class of regular weak verbs to the preterite-present class which was associated with modal/function verbs in Germanic. These findings show that the...
