Dance of Death" in ms. XVIII B 18 (Library of the National Museum) and the imagery of death in the Bohemian manuscripts of the late Middle Ages
UHROVÁ, Eliška
This bachelor thesis deals primarily with the illumination of "Dance of Death", originating from the medieval biblical manuscript of the National Museum Library sign. XVIII B 18 from 1441 (fol. 542r and 542v). First of all, it acquaints the reader with the perception of death at the time through a brief overview. It then analyzes the historical and religious context of the time of the Hussite revolution and the post-revolutionary period. Part of the work is also an overview of the development of book painting from the time of Wenceslas IV. until the period of the creation of the manuscript KNM XVIII B 18, which is also referred to as the Bible of the Hussite priest. However, the most important part is the description and interpretation of all related full-page illuminations depicting the Last Judgment, believers confessing their sins, the sacrament of the Eucharist, the Sorrowful Christ, the Judge of Christ, and above all the Dance of Death. In the end, it tries to answer the question of whether the original motif in our environment can be called the Dance of Death.

Identification of cadavers and skeleton findings
Potůčková, Šárka ; Štourač, Petr (advisor) ; Konrád, Zdeněk (referee)
1. Summary Identification of corpses and skeletal findings The topic of my graduation thesis is the identification of corpses and skeletal findings. In this work I have described methods which are currently being used for an individual identification of people, and I have also paid a special attention to methods that are regarded as predecessors of modern currently-used methods. In each chapter of my thesis, I described different kinds of methods and I have also attached some short cases, just to illustrate the real work of police forensic experts after location of the corpse or the skeleton. In the initial part of my work I have also attached the Glossary of Terms that explains some complicated technical terms. Although some of the methods which I have described in my work are used in many other branches, I have focused on the use of these methods in the forensic practice (criminal investigation) with the possible collaboration of experts in the identification work in mass accidents and disasters. Nowadays, one of the fastest growing and most accurate methods of the identification with the widest spectrum of applications is the DNA analysis method, so I decided to devote a substantial part of my work to this method. I have described her historical development, her practical use and how this method really...
