Last plague epidemic in the Czech lands, especially in Prague (1713-1714)
Koubová, Markéta ; Foltýn, Dušan (advisor) ; Charvátová, Kateřina (referee)
The main part of the thesis mentions last plague epidemic wave, that hit our country in the years 1713-1714, here I focus specifically on the city of Prague. The Czech lands, Moravia and Silesia are mentioned only briefly to show little differences between lands and their plague rules. I also describe medical facilities and hospitals, where were sick and dying people placed, and personnel which took care of these people. Divine services were important for people at that time, society was very religious and people thought that plague is a divine punishment. Even though society was very religiously based, cities and streets were filthy and full of mud.People in cities had very poor hygienic standards and habits, that helped to faster spreading of the disease. At last, places of final rest for terminally ill people, plague cemeteries are mentioned.

The Substitution Effects in Religion: How Does The Level of Income Influence Time Allocation of Believers?
Pauerová, Blanka ; Komrska, Martin (advisor) ; Svoboda, Miroslav (referee)
This thesis analyses time allocation of believers between religious activities depending on the level of income. The models were estimated from data of the survey ISSP 2008, which are restricted to European Catholics and Protestants. The models explain how the level of income influences church attendance, rate of praying and probability of religious objects ownership. Estimations showed that income has negative impact on these variables. Based on these results, I can accept my first hypothesis, that high income believers tent to reduce their church attendance because of high opportunity costs. Next two hypotheses, which assumed that high income believers substitute these attends for praying and religious objects, were refused. My results also suggest that the impact of higher income is different for Protestants and Catholics.
