Košátková, Anna ; Žemlička, Josef (advisor) ; Doležalová, Eva (referee)
The bachelor thesis The Czech Kings in the View of Otocher of Styria deals with a chronicler, member of a Styrian lower nobility, and his view on the Czech kings Přemysl Otakar II. and Václav II. due to a monumentality of this Chronicle (nearly 98 000 verses in the middle high German). These thesis focuses on the Otochar's view on this two Czech kings in the examples of courteous festivities - the wedding of Ottokar II. of Bohemia and Margaret of Austria, Kunigunde of Brandenburg and Béla of Hungary, where was Ottokar II. of Bohemia as well. Others examples are wedding of Wenceslaus II. of Bohemia and Judith of Habsburg, the coronation of Wenceslaus II. in Prague and the Imperial Diet in Nuremberg at 16th November 1298. For a better explanation of the context, this thesis contains chapters about personality of Otochar of Styria and about the phenomenon of verse chroniks at the turn of thirteenth and fourteenth century. This thesis focuses to answer the question about Otacher's reception of some festivities and due to the question about picture of this festivities as well. Otacher of Styria doesn't focus on each of these festivity in the same intensity. In the case of the wedding of Ottokar II. of Bohemia, Otochar of Styria wrote a only short message. This brevity could support proposition about...

Razim, Jakub ; Žemlička, Josef (advisor) ; Čechura, Jaroslav (referee) ; Dvořáčková, Dana (referee)
BOHEMIA, CARINTHIA AND TYROL UNDER THE RULE OF HENRY OF CARINTHIA (JAKUB RAZIM) ABSTRACT The aim of this dissertation is to describe the governing practice (Herrschaftspraxis) of Henry of Carinthia in Bohemia, Carinthia and, subsequently, especially in the Tyrol, in whose southern parts the power base of the Menhart dynasty was situated. The work focuses on four key features of Henry's rule - constructing consensus between ruler and elites, exploiting feudal rights, the use of mortgages, and the use of culture to project political themes. The analysis of the various power techniques used is divided into individual chapters drawing on sources previously unpublished or insufficiently explored. The first group consists of Tyrolean chancery registers (Tiroler Kanzleiregister) and accounts books (Tiroler Rechnungsbücher, alternatively Raitbücher), the second of Austrian court poetry. Following the initial introduction of the sources, bibliography and methodology used for dealing with this particular topic, the consensual context is introduced, within which the rule of Henry of Carinthia was conducted, ranging from informal consultations to deliberations of the royal council. A list of counsellors, along with short biographical sketches, is included. The third and the fourth chapters consider the role played by...

Perception of space and orientation in the countryside in the Czech middle ages (12.-14. century)
Klimek, Tomáš ; Žemlička, Josef (advisor) ; Semotanová, Eva (referee) ; Bolina, Pavel (referee)
The work deals with perception of space and orientation in the countryside in the Czech Lands from the beginning of the 12th century till the end of the 14th century. In the first part the author describes concrete aspects of perception of space in contemporary cosmological concepts. He defines the distinction between medieval view on space as a set of concrete places and the modern concept of absolute and unmarked space and analyzes reflection of concrete features of the medieval model in the texts from the Czech environment. As a part of analyzes of the space heterogeneity the author further deals with reconstruction of perception of woods as one of the types of medieval countryside. Historiography often attributes special position to woods in imagination of contemporary people. The author analyses existence of literal cliché presenting woods like hostile environment in narrative texts from the Czech cultural environment and the result is confronted with conclusions from interdisciplinary studies dealing both with the task of proportional representation of woods in medieval countryside and with it's development and with ways of economic use of woods. On this bases along with the interpretation of results from a specific analyzes of books of interrogation statements the author comes to the...

Obotrite Proces of State-forming in Central European Dimension (789-1178)
Tomášek, Jan ; Žemlička, Josef (advisor) ; Klápště, Jan (referee)
Key Words Polabian Slavs, Polabian area, Obodrite, Populus, Gens, Nacio, State, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Obotritic confederation tribes Abstract The thesis analyses and interprets the key events in the state-forming process of so-called Obotritic confederation tribes in 789 - 1178. It focuses on the analysis of written sources, which serve as a basis for three models of inter-tribal units in Polabian area. The thesis argues against the traditional evolutionistic point of view, which considers the confederation tribes to be the predecessors of early medieval states. The main focus of the analysis is put on the starting point form which the Obotritic state-forming process originated. The main question is whether the Obodrite, upon their first appearance in written history, were more federation of tribes or one large tribe, whose break-up at the turn of 9th and 10th century started a new phase of the process. For the next period, the thesis introduces unique model of so-called tribal state, created by the combined effects of various factors, such as location, political situation, social changes in 11th and 12th century etc. The inner and outer factors that lead to the break-up of the Obotritic tribe state in 1270s are discussed in the same manner. The last part of the thesis is an analysis of later...

Position coding on line and plane
Těthalová, Gabriela ; Tůma, Jiří (advisor) ; Žemlička, Jan (referee)
The introduction into the position coding consists of two examples of position codes on line which use the positional number system of base 4 and De Bruijn sequence constructed with the use of LFSR. The main aim of this thesis is the description of two positional codes on plane based on the patents of the Swedish company Anoto. These positional codes use mixed radix number representation and also a specific type of sequences called quasi De Bruijn sequences. The second of the described position codes represents an application of the Chinese Remainder Theorem. The thesis focuses on the position code construction, description of decoding, and the proofs of detectability. A detailed comparison of the principles of the coding of the coordinate y of both discussed codes is provided in the final part of the thesis. Keywords: positional code, quasi De Bruijn sequence, mixed radix, Anoto Pattern Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Theoretical foundations of cryptosystems based on isogenies of supersingular elliptic curves
Oupický, Jan ; Drápal, Aleš (advisor) ; Žemlička, Jan (referee)
The thesis is focused on the theory behind post-quantum key exchange algorithms CSIDH and SIDH. We assume basic knowledge of elliptic curves although, at the begin- ning, we briefly present the theory of elliptic curves and isogenies. After that, we build on that theory to understand the endomorphism rings of elliptic curves. We also present the ideal class group action on elliptic curves over the complex numbers and how it relates to elliptic curves over finite fields. At the end, we present the two mentioned algorithms and explain why and how they work with the help of the presented theory and examples. Also, we include a brief security analysis of some aspects of the algorithms. Throughout the thesis we also modify or expand proofs of essential statements and formulate some of our own. 1

Three Polabian Slavs' Confederations of Tribes. Analysis of the development of the Slavic Ethnic Group between Elbe, Oder and Ore Mountains.
Tomášek, Jan ; Žemlička, Josef (advisor) ; Klápště, Jan (referee) ; Izdný, Jakub (referee)
Submitted thesis deals with selected points from the development of the tribal society of the Polabian Slavs in the area called Slavic Polabia, i.e. the area between the Ore Mountains and the Lusatian Mountains in the south, rivers Elbe and Saale in the west, Baltic Sea in the north and river Oder in the east. The thesis is divided into the introduction and four longer chapters; together, they introduce the forms and manners of the medieval tribal society. The introduction defines the aims and methodology of the thesis, while also emphasizing the necessity to observe the diversity of each tribal societies, even in the context of the Slavic Polabia, which was supposed to be a home of the three big tribal societies or tribal confederations. Because of the differencies in the socio-political development of these three tribal confederations, the first chapter introduced its own proposition of periodization of the Polabian Slavs' history. This proposition is not based on the traditional criteria used by the older and contemporary medieval studies relying on the external factors, level of social differentiation or structural changes in the political system. The proposed periodization set a few development phases, which each of the tribal societies either passed or never reached. In its three parts (head,...
