The Circle of architects of Albrecht of Wallenstein in early Baroque period. The first rare indications of early Baroque productions/ creations are appearing already in second decade of 17th century, mainly in the work of imperial architect Giovanni Mario Filippi. We can consider his work as a first stage of the architectonical production which was implemented for the one of the most important personality of the Thirty Year War - the duke Albrecht of Walenstein. The circle of Walenstein architects was created by three distinctive representatives, those proved successfully individually but also as a team working above the joint projects. They were able to fulfill the Wallenstein magnificent intentions. These architects were Andrea Spezza, Giovanni Pieroni and Nicola Sebregondi. These three Italians architects and builders were leading figures of the mentioned circle of which part were also Vincenzo Bocacci, Baccio Bianco and Giovanni Marini. Their activities is possible to trace on our territory in the period 1621-1634 except Giovanni Pieroni, who was focused after the duke death to the projects of fortification systems, mainly in Bohemia.

- Tomáš Kavka Supporting the Arts... Art Societies of Central Europe in the Context of the 19th Century's Social Modernization This dissertation focuses on the changing relations between society and art in the course of the 19th century. It observes the development within three cities - Leipzig, Prague and Brno - exponents of three different national environments. The thesis is based on the comparison of art societies representing these environments. Leipzig-based society Leipziger Kunstverein is a probe into the world of German art, Umělecká beseda of Prague demonstrates the quest for continuous development of Czech national artistic discourse and Brno's Mährischer Kunstverein is an example of the specifics of German community ringed by Slavic majority in Moravia. The thesis presents a view of Central-European artistic life, heavily determined by the dynamics of the 19th century's social modernization - the formation of civic society and national movements as well as the change of social discourse (namely concerning aesthetics and art history) about fine arts and its performers.

Prague in the czech media
Smlsal, Matěj ; Osvaldová, Barbora (advisor) ; Čeňková, Jana (referee)
This bachelor essay investigates how the most important Czech daily newspapers inform about regional affairs in Prague. The Mlada fronta DNES daily dedicates a few pages of every edition to local news. Every month it also publishes a stand-alone supplement in the capital and six times a year a luxurious life-style magazine. The Hospodarske noviny daily on the other hand reports more from Prague than about Prague, claims the editor-in-chief Petr Sabata, at least since the regional supplement has been discontinued. One of the other newspapers included in this research is Pravo, which dedicates a double-page every day to local news. Then there are Blesk, where the reader can find one or two pages of local news and the Prazsky denik newspaper. In the first chapter I introduce the mentioned newspapers. In the second chapter, I analyze the content of the dailies in a selected week. I conclude that the most news about Prague are brought by Prazsky denik and Mlada fronta DNES. This result is confirmed by the subsequent analysis of how each of the dailies reports about selected events in Prague in 2012. The Prague Pride, the second round of the Senate elections in Prague 8 and the Easter markets on the Old Town Square were discussed in the greatest detail in Prazsky denik and Mlada fronta DNES, but also in...

The Influence of Urban Closed Circuit TV on Crime: a Case Study of Palmovka
Vávra, Michal ; Jíchová, Jana (advisor) ; Temelová, Jana (referee)
This bachelor thesis examines the effectiveness of open street closed circuit television (CCTV) in reducing crime, as installed in Palmovka, Prague. The main aim is to describe and evaluate the effectiveness of CCTV in a place with increased incidence of illegal activity (disturbing public order and the commitment of certain crimes). The theses furthermore evaluates the preventive effect of CCTV devices and their contribution to the detection of illegal activity by police authorities. To obtain the results, a method of semi-structured interviews with local police officers and analysis of police crime data was used. The research showed that after installing CCTV the number of crimes decreased, but the expectations of the general preventive effect were not met. The main merit for the reduction in crime may be attributed to other established security measures. Nevertheless, these systems have proved very helpful in improving investigation of crime and taken records serve as useful evidence in criminal proceedings. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
