The Beskydy Mountain Rescue Service in Memories of Witnesses
Novák, Tomáš ; Wohlmuth Markupová, Jana (advisor) ; Mücke, Pavel (referee)
My thesis deals with the history of the Mountain Rescue in the Beskydy. Its activity is incorporated into a broader perspective of the history of the Mountain Rescue in the Czech Republic. The thesis brings insight into the personal and professional lives of mountain rescue workers and describes the mutual interconnection of these areas. It investigates the personal motivation for participating in the organisation's operation. Based on memories of witnesses from the era of their service, the research describes milestones in the operation of the Mountain Rescue. The main research method was oral history. Narrators were selected so that their depictions provided the most complex view of the problem analysed. They are represented by both the volunteers and professional members from six districts of the Beskydy region. Their memories cover the period since 1966 until the present day.

Milevsko. Its history, personalities and historical monuments
DVOŘÁKOVÁ, Lenka
The diploma thesis, entitled ?Milevsko. Its history, personalities and historical monuments?, is concerned with a South Bohemian town situated between Tábor and Písek, which is, unfortunately, quite neglected. It outlines the history of Milevsko from prehistory up to the present with respect to the latest research. More attention is paid to the foundation of Milevsko in the twelfth century and the Premonstratensian Monastery because it?s a national cultural monument which has a great importance for the town. The Thesis includes even other historical monuments and attractions which deserve attention. All accessible information about their origin, development, present condition and purpose are compiled in appropriate passages. Both cultural heritage of the town and contemporary relationship of town representatives to this heritage and their effort to restore and preserve it is presented on the basis of bibliography. The other part of the Thesis deals with famous and, till this time, not so famous personalities from this region. Information is obtained from witnesses to history and thanks to their witness it was possible to get less known or unpublished information. More attention was paid to famous personalities, with no monographs so far, because their benefit and importance in various fields are necessary to present and highlight.
