In music he paid attention to carols and Christmas songs and plays as well (the most famous is The Young Shephers of Bethlehem). J. V. Soukup excelled in almost every field, not only in pedagogy and music but also in drawing (he even taught Mikoláš Aleš, the well-known Czech painter), chemistry, technology and cultivation of plants.

However, as really hardworking and diligent student he got stipendium and thus he had not have any financial problems since that time. He knew K. S. Amerling (a great pedagogue who participated in the efforts of a higher girls' education) whose lectures he attended and was influenced by his philosophy. Josef Věnceslav...

The main topics of his contributions are divided into six basic groups, which are described in more detail. At the end of the chapter, Hejda's opinions are summarized and compared with contemporary economic thought. The third chapter is focused on individual economic publications. Subchapters devoted to the publications include description of the individual pieces of work. Most represented are the works that were published by Česká národohospodářská společnost during the period of the first Czechoslovak republic. The fourth part deals with the literary work of Jiří Hejda. Besides the economic studies, Jiří Hejda wrote an autobiography and was also an author of crowns of sonnets, novels and stories.

Identity in biographical narrative: The case of Slovak Roms in a Czech town.
Dienstbierová, Kristina ; Elšík, Viktor (advisor) ; Červenka, Jan (referee)
Anotation Most available studies dedicated to the identity of Roms fail to give a sutisfactory reply to some questions given by the social reality. The reason why lies in the fact that they explore the Romany identity based on culture and culture border studies. This work based on the biographical research is mapping the identity of Roms from the point of view of the participants themselves and their experience. It is focused on factors playing an imortant role when creating and reproducing the Romany identity and when giving meanings to it by its bearers themselves. The work shows that even the absence of any shared culture and social relations in the frame of the broader community it is possible to consider an etnic Romany category since it is is presented as the category not only by the Roms themselves, but by the majority society, which has a real impact on everyday live of each individual who is classified as a Rom.
