The cult of St. Barbara in medieval Bohemia
Zelenková, Adéla ; Kubín, Petr (advisor) ; Doležalová, Eva (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with the cult of Saint Barbara in medieval Bohemia. Saint Barbara is a legendary saint whose martyrdom is estimated to have occurred around 306. Saint Barbara was first venerated in the East. The cult was imported to Italy during the Byzantine occupation in the 6th century, from there was spread further north of the Alps. The cult experienced its greatest expansion in the West in the 14th century. The cult of Saint Barbara was spread in Bohemia in the 14th century and never achieved such popularity as cults of other saints (for example Saint Catherine). The popularity of the Saint Barbara cult in Bohemia has been reconstructed mainly on the basis of the frequency of dedications of churches, chapels and altars.

Annotation: This thesis deals with the activity of the county family of Wilczek in the area of Ostrava. The county family of Wilczek was one of the most important family in Silesia. The first member of this Silesian family moved to Těšín principality in the fourteenth century. Within the following centuries the family purchased many estates and they gained a huge land fund into their possession. In the eighteenth century, coal was found on the estate of Slezská Ostrava and they started to mine. Although nowadays they are rather unknown, their behaviour has influenced many people in the area of Ostrava. Life conditions of colliers were really bad. They had to work almost ten hour per day and they got not enough money for it. This situation leads to many stoppages. Jan Maria Wilczek, the most important member of this family wasn't popular because they didn't take care of their employees. County family of Wilczek purchased their estates until 1945. After the Second World War was all of the belonging nationalize. Nowadays they live in Austria.

Caves and their legal protection
Chvátalová, Eva ; Damohorský, Milan (advisor) ; Sobotka, Michal (referee)
This diploma thesis aims at Czech legislation related to conservation of caves both in terms of its link to the protection of caves as subterranean spaces and parts of the natural environment and of its relation to other fields of expertise, including legal studies (e.g., mining law) and other disciplines (e.g., geology, carsology). First, our attention is paid to definition of the term "cave" and to links of the term to natural sciences. Further, we analyse the development of legal conservation of caves and approaches to caves as a subject of legislation per se. The example of Slovenia - being a prominent speleological country with recognized legislation in terms of its quality and detail - is used in order to compare Czech approaches to cave conservation. Concerning the practical issues, we present an example of conservation effort devoted to one single cave in Czechia, which enables to describe functioning of legal conservation tools, including the themes where these tools overlap. We also present and discuss the only one Czech case-law dealing with the legal aspect of caves.
