Richter Musilová, Oldřiška ; Váňová, Růžena (advisor) ; Kasper, Tomáš (referee)
The Denominational School System in the Period before the Battle of the White Mountain Abstract: The Pre-White Mountain Period within the European context brought an extraordinary development to the Bohemian Latin education. The experts consider the Bohemian Latin education to be at the forefront in European development at that time. However, Latin Scholar system in this period was very closely connected to two different confessional backgrounds. In the Pre-White Mountain Period two basic Latin school systems existed in Bohemia, each with a different denominational background. On the Protestant side there were Utraquist Latin schools, existing under the direct supervision of the Prague University; on the Catholic side Jesuit grammar schools were being gradually built under the management of the Jesuit Order. Both confessional school systems formed a nourishing base for the two main religious forces that also determined the basic political powers in the country. Confessional schools enabled the religious-political powers to influence the upcoming generations and via their religious education they supported and shaped the main religious forces in Bohemia. The comparison of the two basic Latin scholar systems in the Pre-White Mountain Bohemia has identified number of common features, but also differences,...

Okurka, Tomáš ; Jančík, Drahomír (advisor) ; Vošahlíková, Pavla (referee) ; Šouša, Jiří (referee)
Industrial and Universal Exhibitions in Bohemia during 1891-1914. Participants and Their Motivation Abstract At first, the work defines four participant groups in connection with industrial and universal exhibitions in Bohemia before the First World War: a) organizers and promoters, b) exhibitors, c) the public, d) "suppliers". In doing so, it examines in particular the institutional base (associations, chambers of commerce, municipal and land authorities, civil service etc.) and the socio-occupational structure. Consequently, there follows a thorough analysis of the most significant motives and goals that led these parties to take part in the exhibitions: a) promotion of industry, crafts and trade, b) edification and entertainment, c) benefits for the town and presentation of municipal politics, d) national motives and country patriotism, e) social prestige. The thesis concludes with the question of to what extent the exhibitions served the function of communication medium among the individual socio-occupational groups on the one hand, and across the ethnic border on the other hand.

Reflections of the 1866 War in the Bohemian Urban Enviroment
Kalecká, Karolína ; Šedivý, Ivan (advisor) ; Velek, Luboš (referee)
The central theme is the reflection of the Prussian-Austrian war of 1866 in Prague. The study deals in detail about what had the occupied Prague to experience, how was the reaction of people on the occupation and how did Prague manage to fulfill the requirements of the Prussian army. The research is based on Národní Listy, which were the most influential Czech-speaking newspapers, and City Council meetings protocols. We can say that Prague, its administration and population, did very well. After the departure of the imperial authorities, the City Council had to deal with all city management and communication with the Prussians, has mastered its role and saved Prague from falling into chaos. There were no food riots and the Prussians had no reason to conflicts with the people of Prague who conscientiously fulfill their requirements. National conflicts were marginal or none, but in this work, they are not described in detail. Locals took the war primarily as a necessary evil and do everything possible to survive it unscathed.

Hudeček, Ondřej ; Himl, Pavel (advisor) ; Koldinská, Marie (referee)
My thesis presents a study of floods which repeatedly hit the town of Soběslav and it's close surroundings between 1729 and 1740. The text is divided in a theoretical (metodological) and an empirical part. In the theoretical part I will briefly summarize methodological trends in the modern historiography, which were most relevant for the thesis - environmental history, historical anthropology and microhistory. The second part will be dedicated to the floods of Soběslav; it derives primarily from research of previously unpublished resources from the archive and focuses also on short history of the town and description of it's natural surroundings. The main part is devoted to the Soběslav millers, but there will be reflected also the documented disputes over water-washed material, the response of the town offices to natural disaster and other consequences of the flood. The broad objective of this study is to examine other directions of research on early modern floods and the related problems. The thesis is an attempt to more general application of findings which emerged from the analysis of archival sources, and consideration of the possibilities and limits of comparison of historical and modern floods.
