Cistercian and Benedictine Sign Language in the Middle Ages
 Těšínská Lomičková, Radka ; Kuthan, Jiří (advisor) ; Čechura, Jaroslav (referee) ; Jarošová, Markéta (referee)
Radka Těšínská Lomičková: Cistercian and Benedictine Sign Language in the Middle Age Sign language is an important communication phenomenon that has existed for a thousand years. In medieval monasteries signs were used to enable simple communication of messages when rules of silence forbade monks from speaking. This thesis concentrates on a study of sign language communication in Benedictine and Cistercian monasteries during the Middle Ages. In doing so it describes the history of sign language in Europe between the 10th and 15th centuries. Furthermore it shows that sign language was not only used in the center of the order but in the Czech Republic as well. This thesis provides a detailed discussion of sign lexicons which are similar to a monolingual dictionary and are the basic and central source of information about each language. Lexicons contain words and short descriptions of how to make each hand sign. A careful analysis of one particular sign lexicon, called Siquis (which was used in Central Europe in the 15th century), reveals new information about daily life in medieval monasteries. The primary focus of the Siquis lexicon was liturgy, food and drink, utensils, persons, and activities. This thesis concentrates on both singular words and on the description of the signs in the lexicons....

Economics of happiness and religion: Are trappists in the trap of distress?
 Tomanová, Julie ; Chalupníček, Pavel (advisor) ; Zajíček, Miroslav (referee)
This work is questioning whether religiosity could be one of the significant factors that have an impact on subjective well-being within the realm of economics of happiness. The data for the analysis of this correlation comes from the mostactic order of Trappist monks. The reason for choosing this contemplative and reclusive order is the effort to limit subsidiary factors that influence this relationship in the outside world. The outputs of this questionnaire after being compared with the results of similar studies and researches confirmed the positive relationship between the religiosity of Trappist monks and their subjective well-being, purpose in life and selfactualisation.
