This thesis attempts to capture the development of the position of civil engineers, who tried to achieve the position of an academic educated elite in the society of the 2nd half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century.

Historical records of Hg emissions in the Prague city using dendrochronology
Miller, Zbyněk ; Dočkalová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Mihaljevič, Martin (referee)
The primary aim of this work was to estimate whether tree rings of Norway spruce (Picea abies L.) can be used as a geochemical archive for the purposes of historical and recent pollution of atmosphere by Mercury (Hg). The research was realized during the year of 2013 (January to June) in the the capital city of Prague. Šumava National Park was selected as a reference site. In total, forty eight cores of Norway spruce were sourced from five locations for the Hg analysis. Three cores were obtained from each tree from the following cardinal points: the north, east and south-west. The investigated sites have been significantly different in amount of Hg measured (ANOVA, p < 0,001). There was found also negative correlation among the amount of Hg and phosphorus (P) (r = - 0,66; p < 0,002). The highest concentrations of Hg were measured at "Krematorium Motol" site (up to 14,2 ng.g-1 ). On the contrary, the lowest concentration of Hg was recorded both near the former incineration plant at the site "Pod Spalovnou - Vysočany" (1,1 ng.g-1 ) and at the reference site in the Šumava (1,2 ng.g-1 ). Increased values of Hg in the investigated tree rings in the 50's up to the late 70's of the 20th century is probably caused by the former industrial era connected with coal-fired power plants and ore processing.
