Stabilization of rural primary schools with small
DOBIÁŠOVÁ, Lucie
This bachelor thesis deals with the stabilization of rural primary schools with a small number of pupils in the Benešov district. Based on interviews with primary school principals and mayors of municipalities with such schools, problems associated with the functioning of small and complete rural primary schools with a small number of pupils were identified. The interviews were structured guided interviews, which were used to analyse the relationships between the primary school and the village management, between the primary school and the community of the village residents, and to examine the characteristics of the pupils and teachers of the primary school. The primary schools under study (9 schools in total) were grouped into several types according to completeness and number of pupils. The rural primary schools surveyed in the Benešov region tend to have a small proportion of pupils from socially disadvantaged backgrounds and with educational difficulties. Funding for the operation of rural primary schools by the municipalities concerned varies widely. Some municipalities save on their primary school, others support it financially beyond the normal level. Most primary schools and the management of the municipalities concerned cooperate in organising events for children and other inhabitants of the municipality. Both institutions help each other. Primary schools in rural villages are very important in terms of cultural events in the villages. Both pupils and teachers of the primary school are involved in these events. The qualification of teachers in rural primary schools is slightly lower than in urban primary schools. The answers of mayors were mostly in line with those of principals. The thesis also includes an analysis of relevant Czech and foreign literature, including qualification papers, and some proposed tools and measures to save and stabilize rural primary schools with a small number of pupils.

Sculptural representations of Heracles in the castles of the Kingdom of Bohemia during the baroque period. Chosen examples
Vlčková, Petra ; Zdichynec, Jan (advisor) ; Kepartová, Jana (referee)
The immediate purpose of writing this thesis is to explore the sculptures of Heracles outside of the selected Baroque castles in the contemporary Ústí nad Labem Region and in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. For this assignment, I have aimed to obtain documentation concerning the decor of individual castles, based on which I further interpret sculptural works, particularly depicting this demigod, and exceptionally several other sculptures located on selected castle grounds. In addition, I also address the question of how this hero is most often depicted and what its function in the concerned areas should be. There are two parts to the final assignment- a theoretical part and a research part. In the theoretical part, I deal with the introduction of Heracles in Graeco-Roman mythology, as well as the characteristics of Baroque and its reflection in arts such as architecture, music, sculpture, literature and painting. As research methods, I chose interviews with employees of individual institutions and documentation analysis. In the research part, I briefly describe the history of selected castles and the overall artistic outdoor composition while tracking more precisely the dates of creation of the sculptures depicting this hero, as well as their authors, materials utilized and...

Changes in light pollution during the night
Klauda, Ondřej ; Matějček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Müller, Miloslav (referee)
Light pollution is an environmental problem, the consequences of which include higher level of night sky brightness, negative effects on organisms and natural ecosystems, degradation of quality of life and potential human health problems. Light pollution arises due to improper focusing of luminaires, excessive intensity of artificial light and lighting in unsuitable time. This diploma thesis focuses on changes in light pollution during the night. The main working hypothesis does not assume significant changes in light pollution during the night. The literature review of the diploma thesis describes natural and artificial influences on night sky brightness, temporal changes in light pollution, methods of visualization of light pollution in maps and characteristics of the study area. Within the study area in the Central Bohemia, there were executed measurements of night sky brightness using a Sky Quality Meter. The field stands have been chosen to represent urban, suburban and rural landscape. Based on the analysis of time series of night sky brightness, three types of night sky brightness courses were identified. The most intense changes of night sky brightness were proved in suburban landscape. On the contrary, the least intense changes of night sky brightness were proved in rural landscape....

Settlement of early Roman period in Beroun - Plzeňské předměstí
Ničová, Magdaléna ; Košnar, Lubomír (advisor) ; Beneš, Zdeněk (referee)
This thesis deals with the settlement archeology of the Roman period in Bohemia and summarizes the findings of the Beroun settlement in this period. The work is mainly focused on processing and evaluation of archaeological research at the site Beroun - Plzeňské Předměstí, which were carried out by P. Břicháček, P. Charvát and V. Matoušek in years 1979-1981. There were unearthed settlements from the early Roman period with above ground and sunken objects. The main attention was paid to the recessed huts. The ceramic material and chronologically sensitive (metal, bone and antler) items were assessed with quantitative and qualitative analysis. The work also includes a brief description of other objects and their mutual relationships. At the conclusion of the work there is presented the importance of the settlement for Beroun area in Roman period.

Bronze Age Settlement in Vinoř-V Žabokřiku
Kleinová, Kateřina ; Bláhová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Smejtek, Lubor (referee)
This study describes results of analysis of findings obtained during the excavation of Knovíz settlement in Praha - Vinoř "V Žabokřiku". One whole above-ground structure was found and few more can be presumed besides the features. The residential area could be separated from the storege area. Great amount of pottery, loom weights, daub, stone industry and individual animal bones was found mostly in bigger features. This settlement represents Knovíz culture in Late Bronze Age (phases Br D - Ha A1) according to the pottery products' analysis. There is no evidence of other cultures. In the site there were breeded domestic animals, we can presume growing and proccessing corn, also textile production. There is no evidence of bronze itams pruduction. Keywords: Central Bohemia - Praha-Vinoř - Bronze Age - Knovíz culture - settlement - pottery

Cultural houses in the territory of Prague and Central Bohemia in the period 1948 - 1989 and their integrated works of art
Jamnická, Alena ; Alt, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Tourek, Jiří (referee)
The aim of the diploma thesis is to present artistic objects conceived within the architecture of cultural houses since the onset of the communist regime in 1948. The theoretical part of the thesis introduces the development of architectural tendencies of the first and second half of the 20th century, the process of construction of cultural houses and, in context, the mood of the society at that time. The practical part presents a selection of five houses of culture built between 1948 - 1989, which are located in the geographical area of Prague and Central Bohemia. Data collection was carried out using field research methodology, through a critical evaluation of available historical sources and secondary literature. The supporting element of the research is the photographic documentation of the artworks and architecture of the cultural houses, which is accessible within the appendices of the thesis. Keywords Cultural Houses, Art in Architecture, Czech Architecture after 1948, Socialist Realism, Typification, Communism, Prague, Central Bohemia

Typology of the Great War monuments in Prague and its surroundings
Klimt, Šimon ; Czumalo, Vladimír (advisor) ; Pech, Milan (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with a general typology of World war I memorial sites located in the urban area of Hlavní město Praha. It aims to produce a comprehensive framework of the memorials erected. Field research in the form of visiting majority of the sites and procuring their photographical documentation was a key part of the thesis. An effort to define memorial sites in terms of places of memory as well as an examination of the influence the great war had on contemporary sculpture within the new Czechoslovak state had been made before the typology itself. The area for data collection does not reflect the contemporary "Great Prague" of 1922, whose inception marks the erection of many of the memorial sites in favour of the present day Prague cadastral territory. The reason for such decision being the possibility of differences in motifs between the integral parts of then Prague and surrounding villages which were to be integrated later. The typology consists of several categories which classify the memorial based on their formal architectonic and sculptural properties or their ideological background, respectively. A single chapter also examines the memorials of Prague that had been irreversably destroyed by subsequent regimes. Each memorial is described in terms of its year of origin, author...

Multiproxy evidence of Late Pleistocene environmental changes in the loess/paleosol sequence of Bůhzdař
Flašarová, Kristýna
Loess-paleosol sequences preserve information that can be used to reconstruct paleoenvironement, specifically the climatic conditions and the vegetation present at the time of their formation. A dense network of reliably analyzed sequences from different geographic locations is crucial for representation of ecological and climatic trends during the Pleistocene (Frechen, 2011). The aim of this thesis is to fill the gap in the geographical distribution of well described loess-paleosol sequences in Central Europe. Therefore, it focuses on a loess- paleosol sequence in Bůhzdař, situated 9 km NW of Prague, Czech Republic. This profile was last studied in 1952 by naturalist Vojen Ložek. This thesis uses a number of analyses in order to get a multi-proxy record of local paleoenvironmental changes archived in a sequence of alternating loess sediments and paleosols in Bůhzdař. Geochemical approaches are combined with grain size distribution to define climatic conditions at the time of formation of the strata. Key words: loess/paleosol sequences, Bůhzdař, Czech Republic, particle size distribution, total organic carbon, XRF, XRD, stable isotopes 13 C and 18 O
