General principles of dreams imagery in visual culture
Šmejkalová, Adriana ; Hlaváčková, Jana Hana (referee) ; Konečný, Lubomír (advisor)
This thesis is based on the assumption that a dream is "thinking in pictures" and as such can result in unchained and free artwork. Nevertheless, we conclude that authentic dreams in the form of pictures and text were not found before Albrecht Dürer's work. On the other hand, artistic concepts of dreams generally used the symbolic language of timeless oral tradition over the centuries, supported by Greek myths and stories of rich Hebrew oral tradition. This work emphasises the lack of preserved monuments and the process during the time that Greek culture was adopted by the Romans. It mentions works of art inspired by dream formation, quotes Greek and Roman philosophers' beliefs on dreams and clarifies the formation of the allegoric method of interpretation that affected the medieval approach to dreams. It presents Early Church Fathers' concerns in relation to dreams through which the human mind can be controlled by both God and Satan. The chapter on medieval narrative picture cycles explores in greater detail established picture schemes where in addition to biblical dreams, papal and royal dreams are also presented. From the 12th and 13th centuries, works of art associated with dreams and new Franciscan, Carmelite and Benedictine orders were created. The Renaissance period opens with a reminder of lasting...

Knowledge and preparedness of the population to provide first aid in case of an extraordinary events.
KRIŽÁNEK, Ján
The title of this diploma thesis is knowledge and preparedness of the population to provide first aid in case of an extraordinary events. It is divided into two main parts, that is the theoretical part and the empirical part of the thesis. The theoretical part of this diploma thesis is contained in one main chapter named Current status that contains several subheads. In the consecutive successive subheads we define the definition of first aid and its history. Moreover they contain characteris-tics and division of the Slovakian Integrated rescue system and the activity of the IRS coordination center. Within first aid and its procedure, this diploma thesis contains cha-racterizations of the first approach to the befallen, the characteristics of the rescue chain and the appointment and detailed description of life-saving activities. The next subhead contains selection of dangerous accidents with the tendency of direct threat to life and their treatment in the means of first aid. Further away we created an individual subhead about the procedure at the casualty site with a large number of the befallen persons. A very important element of first aid is the psychological effect on the befallen. This is described in the subhead Providing of psychological first aid at the casualty site. The next subhead describes the most common myths, miscues and mistakes in providing of amateur first aid. Many amateur rescuers stand by inactively in situations when help is needed, they feel that their knowledge of providing first aid is not sufficient and they are afraid. All of these negative factors cost the befallen valuable seconds that are nee-ded for saving a life and that is why it´s important to increase the public awareness abo-ut providing first aid. The individual subhead about extraordinary events contains basic characteristics of this problem and the description of chosen, most commonly occurring extraordinary events that endanger the residents of Slovakia. Seeing that the chosen method of this diploma thesis is a questionnaire and subsequently statistical evaluation of acquired data, it was necessary to include the statistical methods in the theoretical part of the thesis. The last part of the theoretical part of this diploma thesis is the des-cription of basic descriptive statistics methods and the description of the mathematical statistics methods, that are applied in the empirical part of the thesis. The empirical part of this diploma thesis begins with an assessment of aims and two hypothesis, that focus on ascertaining of the degree of theoretical knowledge of civilians about the providing of first aid in different kinds of extraordinary events. The methodical part of the thesis describes the way of collecting the data using a questionna-ire, it closely describes the characteristics of object file, inquiry progression and results processing. The results describe individual questions and their evaluation and subsequ-ently course of statistical inquiry and comparing its results using the methods of des-criptive and mathematical statistics. The last chapter of this diploma thesis is focused on the discussion about acquired results from the individual questions inquiries and subse-quently the description of the results of statistical inquiry. This part of the thesis further away contains practical recommendations that emerge from acquired results and their application.
