PIKSOVÁ, Lucie
The topic of mine submitted dissertation is the historical and present form of glass industry at the Bohemian Forest. I focused on the development of the glassmaking process during the 19th and 20th century and its present conditions The thesis is split into several parts. The introduction is focusing on the glassmaking process and history at the Bohemian Forest till the 20th century and I emphasized the conditions of the glass industry during the 19th century in that part. The following part observes and analyse the conditions of glass-factories in the 20th century and the study of particular periods is as well elaborated in this section. In the third part I paid attention to the contemporary Bohemian Forest glassmakers who are still operating there. The last chapter is focusing on the future development of glassmaking at the Bohemian Forest. After that follows the dictionary of special notions which should provide a better orientation in the text itself and at the terminology which I used throughout my dissertation. It is followed by a list of German local names and their Czech equivalents. Finally, the entire work is enclosed by the attached illustration.

Economic crisis in 1929-1934 and its impact on the Jablonec glass industry with special reference to Železný Brod region
Bursová, Veronika ; Jakubec, Ivan (advisor) ; Bareš, Jiří (referee)
A B S T R A C T This thesis analyzes the impact of the economic crisis in 1929-1934 on the Jablonec glass making with main attention to the district Železný Brod. One of the main causes of decline of the Czechoslovak glass industry in the first half of the 30s of 20th century was formed by pro-export focus. The region of Železný Brod and Jablonec nad Nisou had represented sites with major export, production and refining of glass that were for this reason by the economic crisis strongly affected. Deteriorating economic conditions at the beginning of 30s have resulted in intensified state intervention in industry, including the glass manufacturing as one of the most affected industrial areas. Because mostly cartels had regulatory function in the industry, a number of agreements among the glass producers in Jablonec nad Nisou and Železný Brod area were concluded. This thesis considers with different types of production and refining of the glass in order to offer the complete overview over the glass production in districts Jalonec nad Nisou and Železný Brod. The second part puts also emphasis on the social status of domestic craftsmen considering their relations with employers, which determined in times of economic crisis the legislation enacted after establishment of the Czechoslovak Republic, in the 20s and...

Wood-processing industry in South Bohemia - variety of health risk assessment
SEDLÁČKOVÁ, Lucie
In my diploma thesis I deal with the issue of the working environment in the woodworking industry and the diversity of the associated risks, such as noise, dust, vibrations, chemicals, physical load and working position. This issue is current due to the rise of custom joinery. Demand also rises for the quality hard wood and its products, so part of my work deals with this issue as well. I find problematic the variability of the work environment related to measurable environmental parameters. The theoretical part will be based on literature and legislation related to this issue. The areas related to wood-processing operations will be detailed. This issue is handled mainly in relation to the hygiene of work and occupational medicine. Therefore the legislation and terminology, on which the practical part is based, devote a considerable part of the theoretical part. Three companies operating in Southern Bohemia were deliberately selected for research. The practical part is based on the measurement protocols of the individual working environment factors. I obtained the results using secondary analysis of data from measurement protocols of individual factors, professional literature, decrees, government regulations and laws. Two objectives and three research questions have been set for research. Objective 1: The work will identify risk factors for the work of woodworkers. Objective 2: The work will evaluate proposals for employers' precautions to protect the health of workers in individual woodworking plants. V1: Are there significant differences in the occurrence of risk factors in woodworking with regard to the way wood and its products are processed? V2: Are there significant differences in the precautions for the health protection in wood production according to the way of processing of wood and its products? V3: How does hardwood dust affect woodworking technology and health protection precautions? The first objective was chosen for the factual description of the working environment of individual companies, as the individual operations differ significantly from the occurring risk factors and their risk. The second objective was chosen with regard to the importance of properly chosen health protection precautions. Failure to comply with the employer's obligations linked to the protection of workers' health may result in serious and permanent damage to health. The importance of appropriately chosen precautions results from the final part of my work.

Ethnological Aspects of the Glass Industry in the Bohemian Forest
Plichtová, Alice ; Dědovský, Daniel (advisor) ; Hejzlarová, Tereza (referee)
This research reflects issues of glassmaking in the Bohemian Forest since the beggining of the craft production in the second half of the 14th century till the fate of the glass industry in the second half of the 20th century. At the same time the study points to the current position and possibilities of glass production in the region. The central theme of the research focuses local production of painting on glass, acquiring importance in the context of folk piety of the second half of the 18th century. This period corresponds with the largest expansion of the glass industry in the Bohemian Forest, where was concentrated the largest number of the glass factories in Europe. The study is not based only on literatury but also field research and interwievs with contemporary painters of painting on glass.

The health risks in working area of glass producing
VIKTOROVÁ, Jaroslava
The subject of the thesis is a company Stölzle Union Ltd., which is engaged in production of brown glass packaging for the pharmaceutical and food industry. The company was reconstructed and modernized after burning down in 2009. There are many risk factors in the industry, specifically thermal load, load noise, chemicals, dust and other. The risk factors of work environment can have a negative impact on health. For that reason, an employer has an obligation to respect law regulation and measures to protect health, resulting from generally applicable law. The theoretical part is focused on clarifying issues from health risk assessment, work categorization, preventive measures and risk factors to occupational diseases. The aim of the thesis was a determination and comparison of work environment factors before and after glassworks reconstruction, including assessment of proposals for measures to protect the workers' health in the glassworks work environment. To achieve the objectives of this work, I used these research questions: Which factors are present in the work environment in a glass production?, Are factors correctly classified?, Have there been changes in a risk assessment before and after the glassworks reconstruction?, What are the measures to protect the workers' health and are they currently being implemented?, I answered these questions in the end. The work environment factors were evaluated qualitatively. Secondary data analysis was used to achieve the objectives of the thesis, which draws from the study protocols from measurements of risk factors, study of literature, internal company documents, laws and decrees. The aim has been achieved. The factors before and after reconstruction of workplaces are summarized and compared in the practical part in clear tables. The measures to protect the workers' health are also included in the practical part, including proposals for improvement. It was found that factors occurring in the glassworks before and after burning down are typical for the glass industry. There have not been any significant changes in the incidence and risk assessment in the workplace after the glassworks reconstruction. Extensive modernization of the glassworks after burning down meant to expand production, but it was not found that risk factors of the work environment have been increased.
