Georg Barthold Pontanus of Breitenberg and his funeral orations as a historical source
Daňková, Tereza ; Hojda, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Sládek, Miloš (referee)
Funeral orations, as a literary genre on the boundary between written and verbal communication, experienced a resurrection in the Czech Republic during the 1990s as part of a reawakening of interest in Czech Baroque literature and culture and associated literary genres pertaining to the subject of death. In seeking the origins of this literary form one must go much farther back than the beginning of the modern era. Literary tributes to the dead have deep roots in European culture, originating already during ancient times. The textual construction of funeral orations in the early modern era was based on the classical form known from the ancient orators Menander and Dionysius of Halicarnassus. During the period around 1500 the development of this homiletic genre was influenced by two factors. The first was the invention of printing, which already in the late fifteenth century led to publication and dissemination of speeches, and thus of course to a rise in their level of dignity and their didactic function. At the same time, with the arrival of the Lutheran reformation came a new manner of perceiving life after death, the fundamental change lying in a different conception of salvation, purgatory, and the associated activities of those surviving the deceased. The purpose of this study is above all to...

Sheep grazing as a controversial tool of nature protection
Daňková, Tereza ; Malíček, Jiří (advisor) ; Sedláček, Ondřej (referee)
Sheep grazing is currently more and more used as a main type of management in protected areas. However, it seems that in many cases this type of management has a negative impact on a habitat or species of interest. This bachelor thesis try to demonstrate how a care about pastures in term of nature conservation should be applied in a selected area. There are examples of endangered species that are directly threatened by an unappropriate sheep grazing. Positive and negative influences of grazing, especially sheep grazing, are summarized.

Restored Unitas Fratrum's Mission in South Africa at the turn of the 18th and 19th century
Daňková, Tereza ; Hojda, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Křížová, Markéta (referee)
After the Battle of White Mountain on 8 November 1620 the non-catholic-minded nobility and burghers left the country. It was not until the 1720s that common people started to go into exile in response to oppressive servitude. During the reign of Emperor Charles VI (1711-1740) the Czech lands saw another wave of recatholisation.1 The non-catholic religious movement was born by the simplest people of the lowest social rank. These new exiles left especially for Slovakia, Silesia, and Saxony. Many groups of exiles from the Czech lands merged in their new environment with local protestant churches. However, one particular group of emigrants from the region of Fulnek2 (especially from Těšín and Suchdol nad Odrou), led by the carpenter Kristián David from Ženklava3 , maintained some independence and inspired the founding of the congregation in Herrnhut (Ochranow) in Upper Lusatia, and later the establishment of an independent church known as the renewed Unity of the Brethren (Moravian Church).4 The congregation formed in Herrnhut between 1722 and 1727 was strongly influenced by Count Nicolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf. As a landowner on whose territory the said congregation arose, Zinzendorf became a sort of spiritual leader of the fraternity. He tried to keep the congregation within the Saxon Lutheran...

Daňková, Tereza ; Hiršová, Miloslava (advisor) ; Čejka, Pavel (referee)
The thesis focuses on rationality in decisions by managers. The terms rationality, irrationality and bounded rationality are defined in the first part.

The chosen bounded rationality effects, including heuristics, are also described. The purpose of the second part of this study is to examine experimentally the differential uses of heuristics among the students of the Faculty of Management relative to completion of the Managerial Decision Making course. The effect of time to use of heuristics is examined as well.
