Bernardino de Sahagún and Pre-Columbian Understanding of the World
Trčková, Helena ; Křížová, Markéta (advisor) ; Binková, Simona (referee)
(in English) The aim of this thesis is to document the Pre-Columbian understanding of the world based on the early colonial text Historia general de las cosas de Nueva España. The author of this book is a Franciscan Friar Bernardino de Sahagún, for that reason I also focus in the introductory chapters of this thesis on the Franciscan activity in the area of the former "Aztec Empire" straight after the conquest. To provide a complete introduction into the context I also include basic information about the Aztec civilization before the arrival of the Spaniards and about the dramatic encounter of these two cultures. The core of my work is a summary and an analysis of Historia general. In this thesis the Pre-Columbian culture is presented throught its two aspects - the spiritual and the "mundane". The content of the thesis provides information about the singificance of the gods in the life of the Aztecs, the rituals dedicated to them, political administration of the "empire" but as well for example the education of the young girls and boys in the Aztec society. Based on the analysis of the Sahagún's text I also mention the distortion of some parts of the text and I point out the necessity for critical reading of his work.

The effect of social and other factors on public expenditures in the subcentral government level in the Czech republic
Dejnožka, Petr ; Vítek, Leoš (advisor) ; Pavel, Jan (referee)
Public expenditures and municipal budgets are affected by a lot of factors like geographical, social, political, technological and demographic. In this bachelor"s work the effect of evangelical religion on expenditures and budget is examined. Hypothesis, based on researches of Max Weber, is, that municipalities with higher percentage of protestant denomination tend to surplus budget and municipalities with more faithful people tend to more balanced budget than atheistic municipalities. Municipalities in Pardubice region with population between 300 and 1500 were selected for the purposes of the analysis. The hypothesis about the influence of evangelism was not vindicated, but the higher religionism really relates to balanced budget. In other analysis of random dataset of municipalities from all Czech there has been found out relatively high correlation between municipalities with high scholl educated population and current expenses, and then the inverse relation between capital expenses and the ageing index.
