The Man, Death and Other World in the Time of Baroque
DUDA, Zdeněk
The thesis deals the question of the last things of man, so the theme of the death, dying and imagines about the world and the other world, especially in the first and the second third of the 18th century in the South Bohemian town of Písek. The themes of the last things of man are studied on the example of two possible contemporary discourses, namely the semipopular and popular discours. The contemporary popular discours was constructed by the analysis of testaments of town people of Písek from the thirties of the 18th century, as the resources of the semipopular discours books ars moriendi and hymn-books were used. The world and the other world diffused especially in the time of the funeral; the almighty God was usually coming into the world through the death and the ritual of the funeral and manifested his fairness and grace. In the view of the popular discours the reality of baroque world was still confirmed and accepted by the funeral ceremonies again.

Biblical Themes in the Legend of the Centuries by Victor Hugo
JELENOVÁ, Lenka
This diploma thesis deals with the role of biblical themes in the collection of poems The Legend of the Centuries by Victor Hugo. First chapter pursues selected aspects of the collection (humanistic values, conception of history, character and time aspects). The aim of the second chapter is to put the collection into the literary context of the concerned period (romantism, symbolism) and into the context of the author's philosophical and religious ideas. This part considers the relation among the collection, the myth and the psychoanalysis. Focus of the thesis lies in the third part that analyzes selected poems of the collection. These are classified according to the role of biblical aspects. The first type of Hugo's application of the biblical elements is represented by an opening poem of the collection "La Vision d'ou est sorti ce livre", which refers to the biblical stories, characters and themes via different poetic techniques. The second group of poems represents a direct updating of the biblical stories. The last type unifies the author's convictions with the biblical elements and recreates the so-called biblical poems. The aim of the thesis is to research this new type of myths that Victor Hugo creates throughout the biblical themes.

The Possibility of Tax Burden Reduction of municipalities through Electronic Auctions
Hurda, Filip ; Maaytová, Alena (advisor) ; Klazar, Stanislav (referee)
At first, this bachelor thesis analyses and gives the reader an idea about two issues, which are not closely related. One of them is the electronic auctions in procurements, and the second one is financing local self-governing units, specifically one of their tax incomes -- local fees, or rather local taxes. The empirical part of this paper associates these issues. At the start, the thesis researches the dependence of financial savings amount achieved thanks to electronic auctions on the extent of procurements, and then, it applies the relative amount of the average financial saving on the expense of the chosen town in comparison with the income from the local fees and the real estate tax from the year of 2013.

The first land reform 1919
Korolus, Václav ; Jakubec, Ivan (advisor) ; Szobi, Pavel (referee)
The interwar Czechoslovak agrarian reform was put in motion to improve national agriculture production by way of the redistribution of the estates. The second goal was to eliminate the unwanted influence of the foreign (German and Hungarian) landlords. This huge project was held from 1919 untill it was officialy ended in 1935, but the idea of the land reform was significant in Czechoslovakia for a much longer period (mostly after World War II. and during the restitution processes). The interwar landreform changed more than 29% of Czechoslovakia (more than 4 million hectares were confiscated). Approximately one half of this amount was assigned to the alienees, the second half remained in the hands of the former owners. Both of the main goals were accomplished by this huge transfer of property. The smallest homesteads were extended using the land from the largest estates and became more effective. The properties of the landlords were decreased in size by one half and their influence on the national economy was reduced. Despite some imperfections in the reform laws and how they were carried out, the main targets were accomplished and I assume this project was successful. Better outcomes could be reached only with different conditions, like a longer period of time. In a comparison of other similar reforms, the Czechoslovak land reform was the third largest (after Russian and Romanian).

Personal and family finances-your own business as a path to riches
Hromasová, Lucie ; Smrčka, Luboš (advisor) ; Sladkovský, Otakar (referee)
The goal was to implement a business plan that is viable and will provide long-term profit. I wanted to prove, as the name suggests, running a business can lead to wealth, because not everyone is lucky enough to get rich. In my business plan, I would theoretically manage it. I implemented a pension for elderly, Ltd., which would make a profit on just two out of three stated options. The first option I have called "Optimistic", while I consider it as the default option. This option would only occur if the pension was fully occupied. As it is known, it is just an ideal vision. At the same time, I don't want to condemn this idea, because with ensuring adequate demand at the beginning could this idea be fulfilled. Next option called "Realistic" would mean occupying the pension by 75 %. The profit would be 3 times lower by comparing with the Optimistic one, but would still make amount somewhere around hundred thousands crowns. That means it is still quite positive result. Regarding the third option "Pessimistic" I must simply state, I would have to leave the business because I'm having substantial loss in the first and second year of business. In the following years, the profit and loss statement shows that I make profit. It does not solve anything, because throughout the enterprise the cash flow is in negative numbers. Consequently, I have no funds to operate the pension and primarily to repay the loan. So I would like to claim, that I reached the goal I got to myself and simultaneously I even pointed out other options, where in one case the goal wasn't accomplished.

Nursing care as provided to ante finem patients
JANSOVÁ, Markéta
The subject of death and dying is still considered a taboo in our society. It is awkward and anachronistic since our times require people full of life and vigor. The terminally ill are often snubbed by the society. Though being well aware of the unfavorable prognosis, many a doctor tries to treat the patients to the very last moment, and he or she perceives the death as a personal defeat. In 1967 Cicely Saunders, an English doctor familiar with the dismal conditions of dying in the then society, founded in London the St. Christopher's Hospice, the first modern facility of this kind. The philosophy of this effort has been perpetuated in the Hospice of the Agnes of Bohemia established in 1995 as the first hospice in the Czech Republic. The Bachelor Paper aimed to assess the possibilities of providing the ante finem care by health-care personnel at a hospital and a hospice. The Paper investigated these hypotheses: H1 - Health-care workers provide the ante finem patients with health care in conformity to the standards applicable to both types of the facilities; H2 - Approach of the personnel to the care is dependent on their emotional stability; H3 - Health-care personnel in hospitals are not aware that the art of accompanying is a part of the nursing process. The surveyed sample was compiled of nurses on the staff of the Internal Medicine Ward and the Post-Treatment Ward of hospitals in České Budějovice, Jihlava and Třebíč and the hospices in Prachatice, Červený Kostelec and Brno. The data were gathered through a questionnaire. Altogether 170 questionnaires were distributed and 136 out of them were processed in the final assessment. As follows from the assessment results, the care provided to the terminally ill patients in hospitals is affected primarily by time pressures and by the fact that the nursing staff are not fully aware of the possibilities that palliative care offers, while in hospices the conditions available for the palliative care have a quality basis. Results of the Paper will be given to one of the hospitals and two hospices specified above, where they can inspire some new ideas about possible improvement in providing the palliative care.
