Early Baroque Altars in Prague
Kolář, Jan ; Zlatohlávek, Martin (advisor) ; Horyna, Mojmír (referee)
ENGLISH ANNOTATION This paper discusses Prague altars that were crafted in the years of early-baroque between 1620 and 1680. It contains a brief outline of the historical period during which - in relation to counter-reformation and recatholization after the defeat of the Estate uprising in 1620 - baroque style had been fully accepted in Czech lands. The church, supported by the state, had made it its goal to restore catholicism in Czech lands and for this purpose it also used the means of arts. The baroque church combined all kinds of arts in its complexity. The main attention of its builders was paid to altar constructions, most often wooden ones. This paper then analyzes the history and typology of the altar and its components - the altar table, the retabulum (altar leg) and the tabernacle (sanctuary). The overall development of early-baroque altars dated from late-renaissaince mannerism to the beginning of top-baroque is discussed, together with the metamorphosis of the altars' architectural concepts, the artistic perfection of the altars and of their decorative elements. Both preserved and some non-preserved altar constructions located in Prague (in the area of Hradčany, Lesser Town, Old Town and New Town) are listed and described in this paper. Furthermore, an account is given of the artists...

Use of remote sensing data for snow water content determination
Špátová, Zuzana ; Spazierová, Kateřina (referee) ; Kolář, Jan (advisor)
Use of remote sensing for snow water content determination Abstract The aim of this diploma thesis is an integration of remote sensing to snow water equivalent measurement in Czech Republic conditions. The summary of present information of snow parameters retrieval is presented. For snow water equivalent obtaining, radar differential interferometry technique was chosen. The technique was carried out with seven ERS-2 radar images. The result of processing was finished after coherence images creation because of low coherence value at all interferometric pairs. The low coherence values did not enable next processing. Terms of the negative result are discussed. In the second part of the thesis, connection between snow characteristics and radar backscattering is searched. Dependence between snow moisture and backscattering is demonstrated. Factors, which impact values of backscattering and correlation with snow parameters, are discussed. In order to obtain snow water equivalent, the processing of remote sensed data was carried out for the first time in Czech Republic region. Therefore the negative result is still valuable information. Keywords: snow cover, snow water equivalent, remote sensing, radar interferometry

What is meaningfull proper name?
Volák, Martin ; Kolář, Jan (referee) ; Kolman, Vojtěch (advisor)
The theme of this Thesis can be characterized by one question: "What is the meaningful proper name?" The tradition of analytical philosophy is the departure point for finding the answer. The researched areas for what can be named have become not only things of the physical world but also abstract things, such as numbers. The author of this Thesis has determined the concept of truthfulness in such a way that this concept could become "Archimede' s" point for reaching the answer. The answer as such is accepted at the very beginning of the Thesis. From the perspective of language it is not the only possible answer. This answer is the only possible one, however, when viewed from the perspective of practical and pre-philosophical approach to the world - language relationship. The answer is: The meaningful proper name is any language entity for which there exist such criteria of identity that this entity can be secure1y and deliberate1y identified as a name for one conrete object; this entity must be incorporated within mutual language relationship with other language entities in such a way that it can be again recognized as a name naming the same.

Drug-legislature in Czechoslovakia 1945-1989
Kolář, Jan ; Rákosník, Jakub (referee) ; Pullmann, Michal (advisor)
Abúzus drog prošel v Československu ve sledovaném období dynamickým vývojem. V období bezprostředně po skončení druhé světové války se u nás zneužívání drog téměř nevyskytovalo. Duvodu bylo jistě více: nadšení z toužebně očekávaného míru nedostatečná úroveň zásobování. Z drogového hlediska se ale jednalo o klid před bouří. Rozvoj chemického a farmaceutického prumyslu předběhl kontrolní mechanizmy a počty toxikomanu až do konce vytýčeného období rostly. Již od 50. let se u nás objevovaly stále nové léky, o jejichž nežádoucích účincích na psychiku neměla laická, ale i mnohdy ani lékařská, veřejnost dostatek informací. Právě tato léčiva se stala na dlouhou dobu největším drogovým problémem poválečného Československa. Míra konzumace psychoaktivních farmak se v období 60. - 80. let vytrvale držela na vysoké úrovni. Léky Ca později také syntetická rozpouštědla) se staly náhražkou za klasické drogy užívané v té době na Západě, které byly díky uzavření hranic a nezájmu cizích obchodníku o československou měnu nedostupné. Nelze rovněž přehlédnout trend snižování pruměrného věku toxikomanu. Ještě v 60. letech tvořila jádro toxikomanické populace střední generace užívající léčiva pro vzpruhu či uklidnění. Na přelomu 60. a 70. let předstihla emancipovaná mládež své rodiče a v 80. letech nebyli výjimkou čichači toluenu,...
