Loginov, Ivan ; Hermann, Tomáš (advisor) ; Žárský, Viktor (referee)
Bohumil Němec ranks among the most remarkable figures of Czech science. At the beginning of the 20th century he made a significant contribution to the explanation of plant gravitropism and to the establishment of the Institute for plant physiology at the Faculty of Science at Charles University. Besides that he also studied plant regeneration, fertilization and nuclear division. In my thesis I processed scientific and popular scientific articles by Němec and used secondary sources to analyze his overall activity at the university in historical context. Thesis output is structured overview of Bohumil Němec's activities which can be used for the follow-up research.

Ďurčanský, Marek
Prague Spring brought also an ambitious project of universal organisation of Czech scientific workers. The union was to combine professional, social and political purposes. Leading personalities of contemporary Czech science can be found between its members (Otto Wichterle, Bohumil Sekla, František Běhounek etc.). The study describes the short history (1968-1971) of the Union.
