Hladík, Jan ; Pargač, Jan (advisor) ; Šatava, Leoš (referee)
The Historical Causes of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict The following bachelor thesis covers the historical development of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. The main goal is to analyse the question of the area changes that have occured in the Caucasus during centuries and also to show the influnce of policy of three main empires - Russian, Ottoman and Persian. The text is also trying to outline the ethnic and religious factors and clarify a relation of Christian Armenians and Shi'a Muslim Azeris in the Transcaucasus. The problem of coexistence between Armenian Christians and surrounding Muslim majority - not only Azeris on the east but also Turks and Kurds, is crucial for understanding of situation in the region.

The end of Maur's Granada
Terešková, Barbora ; Opatrný, Josef (advisor) ; Binková, Simona (referee)
The present thesis deals with the end of Moorish Granada. The work starts in the year 1232, when the Emirate of Granada, also known as the Nasrid Kingdom of Granada, was established by its first emir Muhammad ibn Yusuf ibn Nasr, also known as Al-Ahmar, The Red, founder of the Nasrid dynasty; and it finishes with the taking of Granada by the Catholic Monarchs, Queen Isabella I of Castile and King Ferdinand II of Aragon. In any case, it doesn't limit itself to the moment when the last Arabic fort (the Alhambra) was taken, but it continues until early the 16th century, since the aim of this paper is the comparison of both Nasrid Granada and Catholic Granada. This paper further deals with the history of the Nasrid Emirate and the Nasrid dynasty, since I deem it impossible to engage in the study of Nasrid society, economics and art without getting first a knowledge about the historical events previous to the taking of Granada. During the 250 years of existence of the Nasrid Emirate, more than 20 emirs took a turn in power, being this the cause of instability in the political system. A kingdom which is not able to solve internal problems and to get united against the enemy cannot get big chances to win a war. In 1492 Isabella and Ferdinand took the last fort, Alhambra, thus bringing an end to the process...

Graphic realization of a book: Bible for children
UHLÍŘOVÁ, Lucie
My thesis should combine all three specializations of my study, art education, civics and pedagogic. The objective of my work is creating an author{\crq}s book of Bible stories for children. The main idea is to approach Bible to atheists, or more precisely to unbelieving children. I entitled the theoretic part of the thesis Bible {--} What For? I explain there, why also an atheist should know Bible. I examine Bible from various points of view. I search the importance of Bible for different groups of people (believing, not believing, children, artists...), I think out the relation Bible {--} art, I write also about Bible in education. One chapter is about some sayings, names and other things, which come from Bible and we use them in common language. Also my personal experience with Bible has its place in my thesis. In the last chapter I describe the procedure of work on the practical part. In the practical part of the thesis I targeted the Old Testament. I retelled some stories from the Old Testament, so as they are suitable for children. Those stories I accompanied with a collection of ilustrations. They are made by lino {--} cutting. The collection contains 19 whole-page pictures, 5 half-page pictures, 3 little pictures and the book-jacket). I put my texts and ilustrations together to a book. The final design of the book is also a part of my thesis. I entitled this book of stories First Step to Bible.
