Braunová, Linda ; Mocná, Dagmar (advisor) ; Krejčová, Iva (referee)
BRAUNOVÁ, L.: František Kožík's biographical novels about Zdenka Braunerová compared to the extant correspondence /Master Degree Thesis/ Prague 2014, Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Education, Departement of the Czech Literature. This Master Degree Thesis compares Kožík's novels Na křídle větrného mlýna and Neklidné babí léto with the extant correspondence, which is used in different ways in both novels. The starting point was extensive research, which provided a precise undertanding of the author's intentions. The goal was to find out how the author forms the characters and their relationship using sources, especially the correspondence. At the same time this thesis delineates the difference between facts and fiction with an example of Kožík's novels.

Czech Luxembourges in french contemporary historiography
Jedináková, Petra ; Bláhová, Marie (advisor) ; Nejedlý, Martin (referee)
Petra JEDINÁKOVÁ, CZECH LUXEMBOURGES IN FRENCH CONTEMPORARY HISTORIOGRAPHY, Prague, Faculty of Philosophy, Charles University in Prague 2012. The aim of this thesis is to consider the relationship of Czech Luxembourg dynasty towards the French dynasty and the impact of their policies in western Europe. The work also focuses on different ways of perception of the Luxembourgs in both Czech and French environment and reasons for such observations. The Luxembourg dynasty, being originally an earl family of the French from Luxembourg, always had a strong relation towards France and its ruling dynasty which was based on mutual respect, friendship, similar opinions and also family bonds, the successors were educated at the French court. The two countries supported each other in fight andalso by mutual contact, visits and in terms of diplomacy. We have testimonies regarding these events thanks to medieval sources such as chronicles, annals, documents, correspondence and texts of authors from the French environment, who personally met Czech kings from the House of Luxembourg and therefore left us important insights into the situation of that time. John of Luxembourg has been perceived in as a model of knightly virtues and a brave fighter always loyal to the French king. In Bohemia, he was for centuries...

Hydrochemical and hydrogeological assessment of spring waters in the western Lusatian Mountains and Zittau Basin
Palkovičová, Veronika ; Komínková, Dana (advisor) ; Kamil, Kamil (referee)
The bachelor thesis was conducted within the project "Springs connect landscapes and countries - environmental education and cooperation in the Liberec - Zittau region". The studied area is located along border of the Czech Republic and the Federal Republic of Germany, in the region of the former Sudetenland. The area encompasses two sea drainage basins and four geological units, resulting in a diverse landscape morpholgy with various types of groundwater.
From March until December 2016, field measurements and water sampling were carried out on selected springs in the western part of the Liberec - Zittau region. Basic physical-chemical parametres (temperature, pH-value, electrical conductivity, redox-potential, dissolved oxygen and, if possible, discharge) were determinee on the field. Water samples were collected and processed in the laboratory. Concentrations of most anions (SO42-, Cl-, NO3-, PO43-, ...) were measured by Ion Chromatograph (Dionex ICS-1100). Cations (Ca2+, Na+, Mg2+, Fe3+, Al3+, K+, ...) were measured by inductively coupled plasma with optical emission or mass spectrometry (ICP-OES, ICP-MS), depending on the expected concentration.
The measured data was averaged and sorted into four geological categories according to the geological map (crystalline complex, cretaceous, quaternary sediments, volcanites). Data were further evaluated using the demo version of the commercially available AquaChem hydrochemical software (Piper and Stiff diagram) as well as in the statistical program R. The average concentrations in most springs confirmed the attribution to the particular geological settings, however, some springs reveal a significant affect by agricultural activity. From the graphical representation of the concentration of selected ions in the spring water, it is also evident that the Quaternary sediments of the Zittau basin were likely formed from the surrounding crystalline.

Composition of stygobiotic communities in selected set of springs in Lusatian mountains
Sobotová, Jana ; Bílý, Michal (advisor) ; Hořická, Zuzana (referee)
From August to December 2016, ten selected springs in the Lusatian Mountains were three times sampled in order to study underground water fauna. The sampling method was based on filtration of rising water for several hours.
The organisms were determined at higher-taxonomic level. Six taxa were found in the underground water: ostracods (class Ostracoda), oligochaetes (class Oligochaeta), copepods of order Harpacticoida and Cyclopoida, arachnids of the subclass Acari and amphipod crustaceans of the family Niphargidae. The majority of specimens belonged to the order Harpacticoida.
The highest number of specimens was found in the spring No. 5 Čtvrtý propustek. Representatives of all taxa were found only in spring No. 3 U oplocenky. On the other hand, in the spring No. 9 Nad pasekou no specimen of underground fauna was found.
Next part of research included measurements of physical and chemical characteristics of the spring waters. It was found out that these waters are clean and they comply with chemical parameters for drinking water. The spring No. 10 Pod Kulichem differed strikingly in SO42- concentration, pH and conductivity from the others. The water from spring No. 7 U smrku exceeded the natural background concentration of F- ions.

The Alchemy like the Gate to Luck
Erös, Roman ; Čechura, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Zdichynec, Jan (referee)
Synopsis The aim of this Bachelor thesis is not rendered and reveal the alchymist procedures, but rather to know the thinking of the alchemists and their destinies, because not all of them were con artists who would like to share the fraudulent ways and so enrich at the expense of its surroundings. A few of them not only made money, but even borrowed, and eventually ended up in prison. Most of them really believe in their dreams of actinide transmutation and extending the life and the other on the contrary, have ceased to believe in the miracle of riches by using the transmutation and rather started to think about whether something like that is possible and then go back to the top. And it was actually the beginning of the inquiry and that of the beginning of a new scientific discipline and chemistry. Of course, that together with the effort of the alchemists of actinide transmutation of metals, and search for the stone is associated and the destinies of famous players of this science and it, from the founder of the Herma Trismegistose to the present, because the dream of the alchemists is not foreign or today's man.

The study of water quality in springs and wells in Křivoklátsko area.
Brabenec, Tomáš ; Benešová, Libuše (advisor) ; Popovský, Jiří (referee)
At present, the nature around us is constantly being polluted by anthropogenic activities; therefore the quality of all components of the environment, including water must be monitored. This thesis examines mainly the water quality in selected springs and wells in the Protected Landscape Area of Křivoklátsko. For individual wells is shown in what environment they are and even some history. Several locations were tipped off where water sampling was carried out, and in the laboratory the basic physico-chemical parameters were defined. In conclusion of this thesis, are the individual wells and springs included in water quality classes according to CSN 75 7221. It is shown that monitored parameters have exceeded limits and whether the water in a well and spring is drinking or not.

Lifestyle as a determinant of overweight and obesity
Wlochová, Markéta ; Háva, Petr (advisor) ; Tušková, Eva (referee)
Diploma thesis "Lifestyle as a determinant of overweight and obesity" focuses on risk factors determination which influences overweight and obesity in population in regards to failure of programmes dealing with this topic. Main goal of this thesis is to understand current lifestyle of chosen group of people because traditional understanding for reasons of overweight and obesity - higher energy income than outcome - seems to be insufficient. Further target is current Czech policy analysis, especially part of policy dealing with overweight and obesity prevention and its connection with European Union. In the first part of the thesis reader takes up with overweight and obesity as itself. This is followed by targets and research questions definition. Primary method is qualitative research. There is no generally accepted definition for this kind of research and therefore this method is briefly described here. Method used for policy analysis is content analysis. For this part i used domestic public policy documents as well as abroad ones. The next chapter is devoted to the theoretical recurrences and conceptualization of basic terms which are basement for this work. The chapter focused on development of obesity prevention policy briefly introduces into policy creation from its origins as a protection of...
