Šinclová, Eva ; Oulíková, Petra (advisor) ; Pučalík, Marek (referee)
After the arrival of Piarists to Mikulov in 1631, the order began to spread itself all over Czech lands. When colonizing different places the Piarists usually called upon local sculptors, who then fulfilled various iconographical programs in their churches. This theses will cover Piaristic college churches in Moravia and Silesia in a period from settling down of the order to its peak phase in the half of the 18th century. Attention will be mostly paid to individual sculptors, themes and iconographical programs appearing in these churches to determine the common signs of sculptural decorations of Piaristic churches.

The aim of the thesis is to present the current state of folk medicine and its methods and meanings, focusing on phytotheraphy and medical treatment of the most common diseases in the studied area. Traditional folk healers who mainly worked in the 20th century, their lives, methods of healing, and the potential transformation of healing practice at the beginning of the 21st century are also introduced.

Velička, Tomáš ; Hlaváček, Ivan (advisor) ; Pátková, Hana (referee) ; Ryantová, Marie (referee)
The present work deals with confirmations that have issued Bohemian kings and princes of Silesia to Bohemian or Silesian towns. The work is divided into five parts. The first deals with existing exploration and methodological inspiration that I subsequently used. The second chapter summarizes the findings regarding the process of confirmation documents - from motives of its release, through the process of the documents in the office during the procedure, to handing over the finished instrument beneficiaries and paying taxes. Then I deal with the various types of confirmations and also I discuss separately the observational charters. The third part is devoted confirmations for the Bohemian towns with regard to all documents which the royal towns received, published by Bohemian kings. The problems are discussed from the perspective of publishers and recipients, as well as the documents themselves (their content, form). The same shall apply also in the case of the fourth chapter, which deals with the same aspects of the Silesian towns and confirmations, which they were received. The final chapter summarizes the findings, which I reached on the previous pages. An important part of this thesis is a variety of reports and graphs to better perceive the immediate context and development trends. I also deal with...

Breaking down barriers: Euroregional cooporation of the Czech Republic
Benko, Karen ; Kasáková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Riegl, Martin (referee)
Cooperation between people of different nations has existed throughout Europe for centuries on an informal basis as borders have shifted and power has found its way into different hands. During the European integration process of the 1950s, this cooperation was formalized with the creation of the Euroregions, or cross-border regions. These regions were formed to promote common interests and cooperation to counteract barriers and benefit the people residing in the area. The Czech Republic is currently a member of 13 different Euroregions either exclusively or with multiple neighboring countries: Poland (7), Austria (3), Germany (4), and Slovakia (2). Of these 13 regions, four - Silva Nortica (Czech-Austrian, 2002), Bílé-Biele Karpaty (Czech-Slovak, 2000), Silesia (Czech-Polish, 1998), and Egrensis (Czech-German, 1993) - have been chosen to further evaluate how the creation of Euroregions has facilitated regional development. This thesis aims to analyze the level of regional development in the programming periods before and after the accession of the Czech Republic to the European Union in these four Euroregions through the application of the theory of learning regions. Then, by applying the three criteria of theory of learning regions to the four chosen Euroregions, it will determine how the...

Nationalism in architecture: Opava/Troppau 1900-1938
Graca, Ivo ; Procházka, Lubomír (advisor) ; Šalanda, Bohuslav (referee)
This Magister Thesis called "Nacionalism in Architecture: Opava / Troppau 1900-1938" is focusing on a specifically Central-European issue typical to a town situated in a cultural peripherie - merging of national tendencies originally formed as a sort of animosity between national majority and national minority, and vice versa. These tendencies are maped especially on the field of architecture. The wider cultural-historical situation of the era is characterized by the fall of Austro-Hungarian Empire, dawn of modern national states, and last but not least, the former German majority suddenly facing a completely new political ambiance. Therefore, the manifestations of architectural nationalism are closely linked to the defensive efforts of given nations. They all strive to preserve their traditional or newly fought positions. Thus, the major goal of the thesis is show how the political interests are demonstrated by the artistic means in the realm of architecture. Key words Nationalism Architecture Opava Silesia
