Ethnography of research object in knowledge production practices: Configurations of materiality, discursivity and agency.
Górska, Magdalena ; Kiczková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Ezzeddine, Petra (referee)
Thesis investigates performative processes of research object materialization in everyday research practices enacted in a scientific laboratory examining biosynthesis of pheromones of bumblebees. Drawing attention to the simultaneous continuities and transformations that are characteristic for the specific materialization processes of the research object, the thesis attempts to question anthropocentric accounts of cognitive practices of science and focuses not only on human but also on non-human agency. It also attempts to challenge conceptualisation of matter as passive and essential entity which is grounded in positivist and representationalist accounts of science and knowledge. Instead, it aims to understand materiality and diskursivity as mutually and onto-epistemologically constitutive. The thesis also marginally focuses on the contemporary research policies and managerial and evaluation systems that are discussed here as normative actors transforming concept of science and agentially constituting research object enactment in everyday research practices. These debates are grounded in a posthumanist materialist framework that builds on literature in science studies (Actor-Network-Theory in particular) and feminist materialism of Karen Barad and Judith Butler.

The Concept of Baptism by Jan Bechyňka in the Traktát o viděních a pokušeních zbožného mládence (Tractate of Visions and Temptations of Devout Youth) and in the Treatise O křtu zvonu (On baptism of the Bell).
Beranová, Bohumila ; Rejchrtová, Noemi (advisor) ; Halama, Ota (referee)
The thesis deals with conception of baptism by utraquist priest Jan Bechyňka. At first the figure of the peculiar writer and theologian after being introduced is integrated into historical connections of the jagellonian era. The chapters that follow aim at the particular topic. Bechyňka ́s view of pedobaptism drawn from a long passage about commitment of baptism from his Traktát o viděních a pokušeních zbožného mládence [The Tractate on Visions and Temptations of Devout Youth] is compared with pedobaptism in Chelčický ́s Zprávy o svátostech [Reports of Sacraments] and with baptism in general of another Chečický ́s work - Rozpravy [Disccusions] in Parisian manuscript. At first I had intended finding out paralles between mentioned thinkers, however certain differences have appeared as well, not in essential facts. In the case of Bechyňka ́s tractate O křtu zvonu [On Baptism of the Bell] I give an interpretation to it in the concrete. The last chapter deals with utraquist baptismal praxis in the early modern times and in the present day and in general describes baptismal rites of these times. As a apendix I add Bechyňka ́s tractate O křtu zvonu [On Baptism of the Bell] with a commentary and transcriptional notes. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Irrationality in the decision- making of an individual as an economic entity in the territory of the Czech Republic
Böhm, Tomáš ; Zeman, Martin (advisor) ; Babin, Jan (referee)
The main objective of this thesis is an in-depth analysis of the decision-making process on issues of economic nature for individuals in the Czech Republic. The degree of rationality occurring in consumer behavior is evaluated based on lessons learned. The theoretical section is concerned with the economic aspect of the decision-making process, which mainly includes knowledge of neoclassical theory, whose basis is the cardinal and ordinal concept of utility maximization. Subsequently there are introduced the alternative approaches to decision making, focusing on the subjective aspects of human reasoning. Using the mutual synthesis of these approaches, the author draws a term behavioral economics, specific elements of which constitute a substantive content of the whole work. The practical section verifies the hypothesis that the decision-making contradicts the theory of rational individual conduct. Data collected through the questionnaire is subjected to analytical procedures by which the stated hypothesis was verified.

Theology of music
NOSKOVÁ, Blanka
This thesis deals with relationship of music and theology. It stems from history of development of the philosophic judgement on the notion of ?musica? in antiquity as well as from the contemporary conceptions and definitions of music. Subsequently it proceeds to the presentation of selected writings of both historical and contemporary theologists? dealing with the subject of the art of music. Based on their analysis this thesis comes to the conclusion that a relationship between theology and music indeed exists and their dialog mutually enriches both of these disciplines. Music transcends the limited capabilities of speech and with its own instruments it speaks about the infinite God. This central thought at which the thesis arrives, is concretely documented in musical activities and pieces of work by selected composers of classical music.

DUDOVÁ, Anna
The concept of leisure education has been in use in Czech and Slovak environment since 1990 as a new label for after-class education. Leisure education is perceived as a branch of education involved in valorizing the leisure time of children and young adults. No Czech or Slovak publication has so far provided its complex classification or an overview of its origin, development, aims, approaches and overall practical use. The aim of the paper is to provide an overview of perception and understanding of leisure time in the works of selected Czech and Slovak authors in the last 20 years. The authors? conceptions of leisure education are confronted with one another with the aim to grasp the main developmental tendencies, forms and current aspirations of leisure education. The paper deals with the various definitions of the concept of leisure education and related concepts. The paper approaches the concept of leisure education from the viewpoint of its position within the classification of educational sciences, from the historical point of view and from the points of view of the individual authors and university subjects.

Assesment of the recent estate of "Libosad" in CULS area and conception of its future utilization
Holmanová, Simona ; Kunt, Miroslav (advisor) ; Martin, Martin (referee)
The aim of the diploma thesis was to conduct an assessment of the current condition of the Libosad within the complex of the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague, and to create a concept of its future utilization. I chose this topic in relation to my bachelor thesis which dealt with re-inventorying of trees in the Libosad.
Based on the underlying data of the re-inventory, which are attached to this thesis,
and the inventories carried out during the years of 2010 to 2015, the project of its future utilization was compiled. Within the selected area, there are 7,715 individual items, while 1,115 of them are of a fruity character with the possibility of alternative uses (14%). Among the fruit trees, the Prunus genus is the more frequent with 15 items (65%), the genus
of Sorbus is represented by 3 items (13 %) and Malus by 2 items (9 %). Among the fruit deciduous shrubs, the complex mainly contains the bushes of the Rosa genus (237 items), then there is also a lot of bushes of the Chaenomeles (86 items) and Hippophae genera
(66 items). Moreover, there are also conifers with edible fruit, namely the species of Taxus baccata with 164 trees (64 %) and Juniperus communis with 92 trees (36 %).
The main vision of this project was to create an educational trail focusing on fruit trees with edible fruits. The goal of the proposal was to raise awareness of well-known as well as unknown wood species, and to point out their medicinal effects and manners of use. Such step should also increase traffic and awareness of the university arboretum. The concept
of the future utilization also includes a recommended list of the planting with edible fruits. In the case of 93 items of fruit trees to be planted, there would be an increase in the total amount
by 2 %.
When designing the educational trail, the matters would have to be addressed in great detail. A satisfactory company, which would ensure the delivery and installation
of educational panels, and a suitable supplier of specific tree species for the additional planting would both have to be chosen. In the final phase, 18 educational boards
with authentic line drawings and relevant texts were created, while also the route
of the educational trail was marked on the map. The economic balance was compiled
for the purposes of the implementation of the trail named Educational Trail: Perceive
the beauty with all senses and identify your fruit tree.
Within the thesis, a few charts were drafted to evaluate the current condition
of the vegetation from various points of view. Inventory tables, created in the Microsoft Excel program, form an integral part of the thesis. The diploma thesis also contains a map
of the educational trail and a map of the current condition of the trees, created
in the AutoCAD program, which are part of the thesis text and may be found on the enclosed CD. It also includes photographs on the website of mapserver.
