POPELÁKOVÁ, Lenka
The aim of my bachelor thesis was to specify new possibilities and demands causing the stabilization of rural regions, to find new areas, where human resources would contribute to satisfaction of folks with country life. The results of my research, which was realized by questionnaire inquiry in Čkyně and Doudleby, could be resumed into following. All areas, which has been already generally known {--} such as services, infrastructure, employment etc. {--} confirm their importance in stabilization of countryside. There is lack of educational courses or discussions in Čkyně and Doudleby according to the further development and education of country people. The main contribution of my bachelor thesis should have been the findings that connection of culture, traditions and environment together with human relations are valuable for stabilization of the country. Old national customs in Doudleby join people together and improve social relations in the village. If these traditions are the urban entertainment, people will become a stranger to each other as we can see in Čkyně in the small extent. The preservation or renewal of national customs and traditions is important for stabilization of rural regions, people become deeply rooted and it prevents them from leaving the countryside.

KOLOUCHOVÁ, Jana
Presented theses deals with the phenomenon of death in the second half of 19th century on the example of the area around the Cheb town. The source base is made up by information of Christian registers of deaths, by prescriptive regulations and tangible evidences. As a main methodological basis the Historical Demography was chosen,but the other approaches were used as a Historical Anthropology and Art History. The most important emphasis was oriented on getting results from statistical research. The index of death issues was researched from several circumstances. Not only the data of approximate Life expectancy, infant mortality and seasonal movement was reached but also the analysis of the causes of death was made. The attention was oriented on infectious diseases too. The question of spread of epidemics is given into the wider context in the subsequent chapter, which is devoted to influence to prevent the gradual lengthening of life expectancy. The attention was devoted to the analysis of preserved tombstones from the 2nd half of 19th century on the base of fieldwork. The artifacts were assessed from the point of view of artistic representation. The epitaphs were recorded too for the identification of specific persons. The end of this topic was the thought of vandalism of modern time and the importance of preservation of the testimonial of funeral culture. The main aim of presented theses is to find out, what were the mortality situations at the monitored period but also the changes of funeral rite influenced by emancipation of bourgeois society. The connection with early modern period tradition of colossal noble funeral ceremony was pointed out. The complexity was amplified by the analysis of the term ?the Death? presented on the pages of Glossaries from that time and by the excursion into the folk?s habits connected with the end of life journey of rural population. For obtaining the complete view, there was necessary to work not only with results of statistics, but also to consider the interdisciplinary approach.
