Pilgrimage and Religious Tourism as human need in health and illness
ŠIMÍKOVÁ, Petra
Thesis named: ?Pilgrimage and Religious Tourism as human need in health and illness? The phenomenon of pilgrimage and related religious tourism have been more and more discussed recently, although the history of pilgrimage origins in distant past. The main goal of the thesis was to describe two religious cultures, namely Christianity and Islam, to describe the history of pilgrimage and pilgrimage destinations of these two cultures and to compare them. The partial goals were to map attitudes of these cultures to health and illness, to identify the elements common for the pilgrims and to find out how religious and pilgrimage tourism influences these people in their relation to health and illness. The aim of the work was to identify and understand a person of different religion better, to grasp a human as an individual and to approach him/her this way. Qualitative research, for which four research questions had been set, was performed. The research itself had the form of an individual non standardized interview with a research sample consisting of four Christians and four Muslims. Case studies were elaborated upon the interviews. The case studies form the research base for categorization areas. The results based on the interviews were processed by means of frame analysis (of the categorized groups). The results show that Christianity and Islam have certain cultural differences. Pilgrimage and pilgrimage destinations differ substantially in Christianity and Islam. While Christians visit these places for spiritual and physical relaxation and to please for health, for Muslims the pilgrimage is a part of the ?five pillars of Islam?. This finding is the biggest difference of both the religious cultures in relation to pilgrimage and religious tourism. The topic of this thesis is not very typical for the nursing care field of study; however I would like to provide students and colleagues with valuable information based on the thesis. The thesis could be used as informational material for nurses and as study material for nursing care students.

Narrow format at eight
Procházka, Jiří ; Daňhel, Jan (advisor) ; Čihák, Martin (referee)
The topic of my thesis is 8 mm film strip with pictures. David among Goliaths. The goal is not the
rehabilitation of the smallest film material, nor is it its defense. The reason is much simpler, even
selfish. I am sick. I see only pixels, mega screens, chips, noise, aliasing, blooming. I hear only bits,
bytes, tera processors, encryptions, compressions. I feel cold and smell stench, I fear death. This
work is my therapy. It aims to reduce mental pains from cancer inducing binary system, killing the
image of light fertilized by angels. Our session consists of seven comprehensive chapters, which we
experience together. Some are lectures, others require your cooperation. We meet predecessors of
eight millimeter squirt, we will talk about his possibilities and limitations, we will compare him
with his half-brother bastard digital. We will stretch our ears to the wisest counselors from the list of
theorists and experienced practitioners. Therapeutic talk will finish with a good night story from the
highly competent author. We will not unduly deal with and dissect historical dates, names or events.
Facts are here distributed as silver in a sensitive emulsion. If you, inquisitive reader, find some bits
and pieces attractive or interesting, pick one of the books that are listed at the end. There you can
find answers to your questions. Your own search will be spiced up by more than mere list of
information which I could provide you in these lines. And if that happens, my work was not in vain.
Even I have walked that path, and perhaps under the influence of the smell of old books, under the
weight of their yellowed pages, leather bindings with gilt letters, writings in Old Czech language, I
dared to mate this language with the hairiness of my own language. Quotes are mentioned in the
original version, in case I attempt a free verse, I play with words and letters, as each can play with a
narrow format.
