Prolegomena to Search for Ecclesiological Inspirations in the Life and Work of Tomáš Bavorovský († 1562) Jaroslav Havrlant Tomáš Bavorovský, a Czech preacher and writer is still a quite unknown personality of the Bohemian renaissance. In my thesis I try to make a research of his ecclesiological attitudes. Thesis are divided into three parts. The first, universal part put the reader into very a difficult religion-political situation in west and south Bohemia in the first half of the 16th century. The aim of the second part is to tell more about personality of the preacher and in the last one I concentrate on his life work. The first part describes specific situation of Bohemian reformation, which was different from neighboring countries due to its Hussite tradition and Utracvistic church. German reformation was at first more quickly spread among Catholics than Utracvists in Bohemia. Special attention is paid to church government, educational system, book printing as well as censorship. Tomáš Bavorovský worked mostly in Catholic towns of south Bohemia and in Plzeň. Therefore, a short description of their religious history follows. The longest chapter is devoted to the relation between Bohemian countries and Erasmus Rotterdam, who takes very progressive opinions but he did not join to reformation. The...

ŠTURMOVÁ, Lenka
Voluntary activities have developed since the ancient time. From the beginning people had a need to help to their neighbours in unexpected situation which came suddenly because they could not manage to do it on their own. Non-state and non-profit organizations engage in the case of emergency and they are ready to help to citizens who are affected. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to define which non-state and non-profit organizations are situated in South Bohemia area and how they work during the emergency in South Bohemia. The work also evaluates if non-state and non-profit organizations are used sufficiently when the emergency comes. The first part of bachelor thesis is devoted to voluntariness and voluntary service. Then it pursues to fundamental groups of non-state and non-profit organizations which our legal code distinguishes. It speaks about associations, generally beneficial companies, institutions, foundations, foundation funds and church organizations. The author speaks about history and describes development of non-profit sector since Hussite revolution, Austrian Empire or Austro-Hungarian Empire, The First Republic, World War the Second, communistic and post-communistic period. Last but not the least the work deals with Panel of Non-state and Non-profit Organizations in South Bohemia. At the end of the theoretical part the bachelor thesis is focused on the term of emergency according to law. It characterizes elementary and the other groups of Emergency Services of integrated rescue system. It gives a definition of rescue and liquidation works, who carries them out and what are they for. As next it explains integrated rescue system documentation, alarm degrees and characterizes them shortly. It speaks about the difference between emergency and crisis situation. In the last part of the theoretical work are described relations among non-state and non-profit organizations and integrated rescue system. In the second part of this bachelor thesis is worked out the research of non-state and non-profit organizations which made an agreement with Rescue Fire-fighting body of South Bohemia and are situated in South Bohemia. There are defined individual organizations, their characteristic and type of activity. In the table there are portrayed some received data about organizations. Bachelor thesis also speaks about analysis of potentially possible organizations for making an agreement with Rescue Fire-fighting body of South Bohemia. By using of Fuller´s method it determines suitable criterions which can be used for appraisal and determination of non-state and non-profit organizations which are convenient subjects for making agreement. This work is based on this research question: are non-state and non-profit organizations in the South Region not underused during emergency events and crisis situations? When processing this work, current standards of scientific literature and studies were used. The research founded out using of non-state and non-profit organizations is high level. Due to making and agreement among representatives from South Bohemia and chosen non-state and non-profit organizations was established Panel of Non-state and Non-profit Organizations in South Bohemia which helps a lot to effective humanitarian help when emergency or crisis situation. It was also discovered there is evident rising trend in cooperation of non-state and non-profit organizations in integrated rescue system during the intervention in the Czech Republic. In South Bohemia cooperation during the intervention is not any difference in previous years. The exceptions are years 2008 and 2012 in which the cooperation mildly increased. In comparing of resulting percents are co-operations in the Czech Republic and in South Bohemia roughly in the same level. The research also discovered it is necessary to keep precise statistics for more effective appraisal of using of non-state and non-profit organizations during the emergency and crisis situation.

Catholic song-propaganda in the Czech lands
Kvapil, Jan ; Stromšík, Jiří (advisor) ; Petrbok, Václav (referee) ; Kurzke, Hermann (referee)
The Dissertation considers the Catholic song propaganda of the early modern times. Its research is based on Bohemian literate and musical sources. The basic methods of the song-propaganda were actually invented by Protestants. The Catholic reformers were able to react to its influence through their own song-propaganda (for instance Leisentrit and Jesuits) and modernized and developed their own new methods with just a minute delay. The song-propaganda was an outstanding device for indoctrinating common people anyway because of their analphabetism. The main attention was focused on persuasive methods used in the songpropaganda by Catholic missionaries. These methods can be classified as follows: The repetitive method was the simplest one based on a simple reproduction of fundamental Christian texts (Lord's Prayer, Credo, Ave), religious dogmas (purgatory, confession, communion) and ideological doctrines (singularity of the Catholic Church) in a musical form. It was mainly applied in the catechesis. The songs inspired by this method were mainly addressed to children and youth. The exemplary method gives either positive or negative example people should or should not follow. These songs narrated mostly a life of a exemplary saint. They were very popular among children and therefore applied in catechesis. A more...

Seligová, Markéta ; Maur, Eduard (advisor) ; Horská, Pavla (referee) ; Nesládková, Ludmila (referee)
The work is dealing with seďs' economic, demographic and social conditions on the North Bohemian estate ofHorní Police in the 18th century. It seeks to examine to what extent factors independent of will of man took share in career of individuals and to what degree the scope for free serf decision-making was available in the early modem society. The work is based on the fact that it is possible to trace back the so called life cycles of particular social strata conditioned by gender in spite of a broad range of ordinary people' s individual fates. The work keeps to seďs' lists ofHorní Police which have been handed down in a coherent number since 1709. This source of key importance for the study both of life cycles and of a number of demographic indicators has been complemented by the analysis of further materials which arose from activities of the manorial court, from land and particularly church registers. A great attention has been paid to the research of circumstances which considerably influenced career of the individuals: of the economic situation in the region strongly depended on natural and climatic conditions, of demographic indicators closely connected with economic conditions, particularly in the question of marriage availability, of the structure of the population and ofland availability.

Hudcová, Eliška ; Matějka, Ondřej (advisor) ; Cuhra, Jaroslav (referee)
The thesis called "Marvellous Year"- The Life of Evangelical Theologians and Pastors at the Normalisation Period in their own words tries to show an ordinary day of an evangelical theologian and pastor in the 70's and 80's of 20th century based on the participants' biographical narrations. The first chapter treats the state church policy at the normalisation period and there are also mentioned the basic historical data of the Evangelical Church of Bohemian Bretheren and the Comenius Evangelical Theologian Faculty for that period. The following chapter describes the life of evangelical theologians and pastors during the communist regime and it is elaborated on the basis of their present narrations. Unlike the official sources (which automatically do not correspond to the social practice), this way offers more critical view, so it revises the bipolar model of the totalitarian period. The last chapter deals with nowadays presentations of three Evangelical Church of Bohemian Bretheren parsons. It is followed by the analysis of the "marvellous year" dynamics. And this chapter is finished by retrospective memories of the normalisation period in former Czechoslovakia.

The Influence of Moravian Folk Songs on the Piano Compositions of Leoš Janáček , Vítězslav Novák and other Composers for use in the Education Process
Grygarová, Jana ; Tichá, Libuše (advisor) ; Palkovská, Jana (referee)
Moravian folk songs are characteristic by many specifics which make them different from Bohemian folk songs. It is particularly caused by historical context and geographical location. Folk traditions in Moravia go back to the remote past and during its development Moravian folk music went through many changes. What make it so unusual are primarily the preservation of numerous archaisms and enriching of tonal procedures by modal ones - by applying characteristic degrees of individual church modes. The interference of old and more recent elements and indefiniteness of keys are typical features of Moravian folk songs. The individuality of Moravian folk music also shows in its rhythmical side, which is characterized by frequent uneven figures, by distinctive phrasing, etc. The phrasing together with the direction of melodic line are the most impressive in its interpretation. So called fiddle bands, which played in the country, used for the harmonization of songs primarily basic harmonic functions enriched by some uncommon connection of tones, pedals, etc.

Richter Musilová, Oldřiška ; Váňová, Růžena (advisor) ; Kasper, Tomáš (referee)
The Denominational School System in the Period before the Battle of the White Mountain Abstract: The Pre-White Mountain Period within the European context brought an extraordinary development to the Bohemian Latin education. The experts consider the Bohemian Latin education to be at the forefront in European development at that time. However, Latin Scholar system in this period was very closely connected to two different confessional backgrounds. In the Pre-White Mountain Period two basic Latin school systems existed in Bohemia, each with a different denominational background. On the Protestant side there were Utraquist Latin schools, existing under the direct supervision of the Prague University; on the Catholic side Jesuit grammar schools were being gradually built under the management of the Jesuit Order. Both confessional school systems formed a nourishing base for the two main religious forces that also determined the basic political powers in the country. Confessional schools enabled the religious-political powers to influence the upcoming generations and via their religious education they supported and shaped the main religious forces in Bohemia. The comparison of the two basic Latin scholar systems in the Pre-White Mountain Bohemia has identified number of common features, but also differences,...
