The Language of a Czech Minority in Repinka in Siberia
Hakenová, Barbora ; Dittmann, Robert (advisor) ; Andrlová Fidlerová, Alena (referee)
This thesis contributes to the research on Czech dialects in language enclaves abroad. Its objective is to describe the language of the Czech minority in the villages of Repinka, Voskresenka and Novohradka in Russia, Omsk, the territory of Kalachinsk. The research is restricted only to the oldest generations, i.e. people over the age of fifty-five, whose language use is analyzed on these traditional levels of language: phonology, morphology, syntax and marginally also lexicology. The theoretical part of this research deals with the history of Czech immigrants in Tsarist Russia. The study then focuses on the history of Czech immigrants in regions connected with moving to Siberia and on the present philological researches on the Czech community in Omsk region. The following part describes the methods of the data processing. Transcriptions of recorded speeches and prayers in the Czech language set down in Cyrillic alphabet were used as the input data. They were described separately for each language level. Most attention is paid to the elements which help to classify the dialect of Repinka under one of the dialect groups of the Czech language, and furthermore to language elements influenced by foreign languages (especially by Russian). In the conclusion, the author summarizes the obtained results. On...

Dulskaia, Elvira ; Janeček, Petr (advisor) ; Zahrádková, Lenka (referee)

Contemporary Forms of Buryatian Shamanism
Havlíček, Marek Aurel ; Kašpar, Oldřich (advisor) ; Bělka, Luboš (referee) ; Fukas, Andrej (referee)
RESUMÉ V ANGLICKÉM JAZYCE Since the 1980s, a revival of religious traditions, whose continuity was disrupted considerably in the Soviet-era Russia, has been in motion in the entire area of Siberia and Central Asia, among the so called 'rooted nations'. While major religious groups, such as buddhism and islam, could successfully pick up the threads of their religious traditions thanks to their written resources; religions based mainly on oral transmission are facing the opposite situation, shamanism not being an exception. Intense tension coming from the spirituality of their own ethnic traditions, which spontaneously opened after many years of the Communist secularization, in the case of shamanism hit the barriers of how to adequately re- establish the disrupted traditions (lack of living bearers and experts on their own traditions, initiated and uninitiated shamans, and other ceremony specialists, ignorance of symbolism). The whole process of rebirth, revival or revitalisation of shamanism is entirely consistent with the context of current issues concerning constituent societies, which naturally carries the legacy of Soviet culture. Political and economic changes in the post- Soviet space also enabled the bearers of traditions to become open to a wide range of new influences from abroad. Revitalization...
Deportation to Siberia in Latvian Memoirs Literature
Kočnarová, Markéta ; Štoll, Pavel (advisor) ; Lemeškin, Ilja (referee)
The subject of the thesis "Deportation of Latvians to Siberia in Latvian Memoirs Literature" is to compare the description of historical experience in three latvian memoirs based on several criteria and to set this problematics into historical context. Chapter one introduces the most important events during the first Latvian republic period and phenomena of collectivization, Gulag and deportations into the territory of U.S.S.R. Chapter two introduces the Latvian memoirs literature problematics including authors' biography and their memoirs. Among the analysed books belong "With Dance Shoes in Siberian Snow" by Sandra Kalniete, "The Stolen Childhood" by Ilmārs Šalts and "The Dugout Children" by Andra Manfelde. These memoirs are compared in chapter three based on two topics: the description of the deportation day and the journey to Siberia and the role of a mother. Chapter four analyses the memoirs relation to documentary literature and imaginative literature.
Detecting the children zone at the abandoned Nenets campsites: An ethnoarchaeological example from the Polar Ural Mts., Russia
Sázelová, Sandra ; Svoboda, Jiří ; Novák, Martin
The paper presents an ethnoarcheological approach to questions arising from archaeological studies of Upper Paleolithic settlements in Europe concerning the role of children and their activities in site formation processes. Within surveyed micro-region at Yangana Pe, they were recorded and documented several Nenets abandoned campsites with traces of childreln's play. During the play, Nenets children create specific patterns, usually detectable within the domestic and activity zones of abandoned campsites. In order to interpret them in context, supplementary ethnoarcheological evidence should be incorporated and evaluated.
Ecology of Actinobacterial classes of \kur{Micrococcaceae, Streptomycetaceae} and \kur{Nocardiaceae} in terrestric ecosystems
HEJDOVÁ, Barbora
The families Micrococacceae, Nocardiaceae and Streptomycetaceae belong to a large phylum Actinobacteria. This phylum is ecologicaly important and many of its members are mainly found in soil, where they are involved in the carbon cycle and other degradation processes. This capability of degradation of complex bololymers is typical for the genera Arthrobacter and Rhodococcus in the bioremediation process. Other members like Streptomycetes are characterized by the ability to produce antibiotics, which are used in the pharmaceutical industry. In this work, we focuse on metabolism of selected actinobacterilal families, but also on the pathogenicity and to their occurrence in different habitats. We will use these pieces of information to evaluate the abundance and metabolic potential of these families in soil collected from the north-eastern region of Siberia along the Kolyma River (Cherskii, Republic of Sakha, Russia). Sequencing of the samples showed the highest occurrence of Streptomyces and Arthrobacter genera and have also relatively large metabolic potential cellulose and phenolics degradation, mainly in the upper soil layers.
