Media Representation of The great Most strike
Ullíková, Veronika ; Skalecká, Veronika (advisor) ; Knapík, Jiří (referee)
This master's thesis deals with the Great Strike in the city of Most and its depiction in two state and one regional periodicals, namely Rudé právo, Lidové noviny and Brüxer Zeitung. The Great Strike was a significant display of miners' discontent, which went beyond the region's borders and influenced everyday life in the whole country. The extent and consequences of this protest action were unique at that time. My objective was to find out what depiction there is in the then periodicals. The thesis contains a brief historical insight into economic crisis and media situation in Czechoslovakia at the end of the 20th century. In the fist section, there are described economic aspects which induced problems not only in mining but in the whole economy. The activities of trade unions in the First Czechoslovak republic are also included. The second section describes in detail the development of the Great Strike, including events preceeding it. The third section is dedicated to the region of Most and its particularities in the industrial and social fields. The fourth section is focused on methodology and establishment of research questions. The practical part analyses individual articles. The analysis comprises the events of the Great Strike from the perspective of each and every periodical. Attention is...

Pension security of miners in the Czech Republic
Holečková, Romana ; Vysokajová, Margerita (advisor) ; Štefko, Martin (referee) ; Lang, Roman (referee) ; Ryba, Jan (referee)
This thesis deals with the analysis of the pension security of miners in the Czech Republic from its historical beginnings to the present day, with the main focus on the legislation de lege lata. The selected range of employees in mining industry is in Czech law of pension insurance in comparison with other insured persons favoured in determination of retirement age and the determination of amount of the old-age pension. These benefits are limited for the time being; however, currently the preferences are enforced to be listed in the public pension system permanently. The main focus of work is therefore an analysis of the legislation relating to the entitlement of miners to an old-age pension, taking into account the specific retirement age and the determination of the amount of this pension. The work also touches other pension benefits paid out of the Czech pension system, i.e. disabled pension and survivors' pensions. Mentioned are also some of the claims arising from compensation legislation and the selected topics of international legal issues that may have an effect on the performance of paid to the miners from the Czech pension system (particularly the top-up allowance).

Radiation exposure of uranium miners in Příbram area
KOSTKOVÁ, Martina
The uranium mining was operated in Příbram's region in the years 1950-1991. There were 41 pits, 42 exploratory shafts, 4 shafts and horizontal works in length of 2 188,3 km and the whole mining stretch covered the area of 57,6 km2 producing the quantity of 48 432,2 t of uranium (Příbram, 2017). The basic facts needed for writing this thesis were obtained and further processed over a period of time from June 2016 to March 2017 and contain the data referring to the years 1966-1999. The items were drawn from the individual dosimetric registers provided by Professor Dr.rer.nat. Friedo Zölzer, DSc. who had acquired them before from the DIAMO state enterprise. The dosimetric items were submitted by the miners who took part in the project implemented in 2008-2011 under the title "Biological dosimetry of persons exposed to alfa radiation at work" (2B08001within The National Research Project II.). The purpose of the thesis was to determine average radiation doses emitted by single kinds of radiation, which was achieved by a collection of statistically processed data extracted from the above mentioned dosimeric registers. It has been found out that some decrease in radiation has been attained thanks to the precaution such as ventilation in the miners that were introduced for purpose of workers' protection against ionizing radiation. In has been established that the average doses with all the mine workers are: out of gama = 0,03mGy; out of alfa (by conversion 1kBq = 11mSv) = 0,07mSv; out of alfa (by conversio 1 kBq = 3,5 mSv) = 0,04 mSv; out of the subsidiary radon products (by conversion 1mJ = 1,18mSv) = 0,52mSv; out of the subsidiary radon products (by conversion 1mJ = 2,36mSv) = 1,03mSv.
