Christian and Pagan Symbols in Old English Literature
Pedret, Sarah ; Higgins, Bernadette (advisor) ; Ženíšek, Jakub (referee)
This bachelor's thesis deals with the influence that Christianity and the original Anglo-Saxon Pagan religions had on each other during the Christianization of Anglo-Saxon Britain. Above all, it deals with the coexistence of Christian and pagan symbols in the texts of Old English literature. The theoretical part deals with the historical context of the time in which the examined texts were written. It focuses on the Christianization of Anglo-Saxon Britain and the continuing influence of the original pagan faith and its symbols on literary art, mainly the epic poem Beowulf. The practical part of this work deals with the analysis of the text of the epic poem Beowulf, the symbols used in it and their meanings.
The changes of literary fantastical elements visible in The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien
MÜLLNEROVÁ, Anna
The primary focus of this Bachelor thesis is to examine the development and evolution of fantastical elements in modern fantasy literature, with The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien serving as a critical example. As is widely recognized, literature is a dynamic and evolving art form shaped by various internal and external factors. Through careful analysis of selected examples of fantasy elements, this thesis aims to explore and illustrate the changes that have occurred in the genre over time while also comparing and contrasting them with the foundational aspects of classic fantasy literature. Ultimately, this study aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of the fantasy genre and its evolution, shedding light on the ways in which it has both changed and remained true to its roots.
Computational clusters
Jakl, Ondřej
The contribution deals with clusters of workstations in the context of their employment in parallel processing. It focuses on the nowadays very popular systems based on personal computers (so called Beowulf) and using the Linux operating system. On example of parallel solvers we demostrate that their performance is comparable with that of the much more expensive commercial parallel systems.
