Koubová, Markéta ; Foltýn, Dušan (advisor) ; Charvátová, Kateřina (referee)
The main part of the thesis mentions last plague epidemic wave, that hit our country in the years 1713-1714, here I focus specifically on the city of Prague. The Czech lands, Moravia and Silesia are mentioned only briefly to show little differences between lands and their plague rules. I also describe medical facilities and hospitals, where were sick and dying people placed, and personnel which took care of these people. Divine services were important for people at that time, society was very religious and people thought that plague is a divine punishment. Even though society was very religiously based, cities and streets were filthy and full of mud.People in cities had very poor hygienic standards and habits, that helped to faster spreading of the disease. At last, places of final rest for terminally ill people, plague cemeteries are mentioned.

History of Kaznějov before 1918
Kodetová, Klára ; Charvátová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Foltýn, Dušan (referee)
Resume The presented bachelor thesis portrays the historical development of the village Kaznějov. It deals with its portrayal in the available historical charters and documents. The focus is laid especially on the oldest history of the settlement, when it functioned as a grange of the Cistercian monks from the nearby Plasy monastery, and on its further development throughout the Middle Ages and Early Modern Period. Although the paper strives to rely mostly on available historical documents, it at the same time also strives to portray the village on the background of important contemporary events, such as the Hussite Wars and the Thirty Years' War. In the younger periods, the thesis focuses on the portrayal of the village based on the materials from different land cadastres - the Cadastre of the empress Maria Theresa, the emperor Joseph II.'s Cadastre and the Stable Cadastre. Finally, the paper describes the changes that the village sustained as a result of the mining and chemical industries' development in the area during the 19th century. These changes significantly shaped the village's further growth and also its physical appearance as opposed to the former periods.

This bachelor's thesis deals with the history of Saint Gabriel's Benedictine nunnery at Smíchov, which made a part of beuron congregation. I focus on a few disputable issues, which haven't been sufficiently solved so far and often have been neglected by Czech literature. The crucial question is, why exactly did the nuns have to leave the monastery. To provide an answer to this problem I had to perform a thorough study of the Beuron phenomenon in the context of the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the twentieth century, and, above all, I had to scrutinize the background of particular nuns. In this work, among other, I come to a conclusion that the reason for the nuns' departure, as well as for the overall specificity of the nunnery / monastery, was an unusual combination of extreme catholicism, German nationalism and their mostly aristocratic background. All the three aspects were in disagreement with the values acknowledged by the newly-emerged state of Czechoslovakia, whose apparatus didn't understand or didn't want to understand the mentality of the nuns and their commitments. This situation eventually culminates by the nuns moving out of the country and the building being sold to the Ministry of posts and telegraphs, with a real burden: a regular mass should be held in the church, which by...
