The diploma thesis Czech Press for People Called up to Do Forced Labour in Nazi Germany deals with the weekly Czech Labourer which was sent to the Czech workers called up to German factories during the period of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia within the years 1939-1945. The thesis aims at exploring its origin, publishing and changes concerning its publishers and owners. It also analyses its distribution to Nazi Germany and its content in detail. Furthermore, by means of the quantitative analysis the thesis surveys the thematic agenda of the main articles on the front pages. It discusses the impact of the propagandistic information in media on those who were called up to do forced labour. Within the context, this paper examines the operation of media during the period of Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia.

At the end of the 15th century in Bohemia penetrates the Renaissance style, which appeared in 1493 at the Prague Castle in the form of windows of the Vladislav Hall in the Old Royal Palace. Their appearance is historically and stylistically linked to the Buda Castle, where Vladislaus II. Jagiello relocated in 1490. Here he met the prime marble carvings of the court of Matthias Corvinus, for which worked Italian masters. Patterns of fragments of windows founded in Buda can find at the Palazzo Ducale of Federico da Montefeltro in Urbino, because Hungary was due Queen Beatrice of Aragon from Naples in live contact with Italy.

The dissertation deals with the historical activities of the Congregation of the Sisters of Mercy of St. Charles Borromeo in České Budějovice between the years 1850 - 1956. The thesis is especially based on the study of archival materials. Each chapter comprehensively describes the history of the three branches where the religious Sisters performed their activities. The branches are listed in chronological order of when they were established in the city. A public hospital is mentioned first, followed by an institutional complex of orphanages and schools at the former Vienna gate, and the group is concluded with an asylum for elderly people in need established in 1888. Particular attention is paid to the circumstances concerning the establishment of each branch, its background, ordinary and extraordinary days that were mostly mentioned in local chronicles; and two local superiors who had a major impact on the development and character of the community are also mentioned in the dissertation. Besides the observation of the beginnings and subsequent unprecedented development of community activities within the city frame, the text also includes an independent final chapter focused on events associated with the definitive end after the year 1948. Orientation in the topic and logical sequence of...

1 ABSTRACT This final thesis is focused on the description of the specific conditions of the current development of regional education in Prague and the Central Bohemia Region. This is particularly true in relation to the use and creation of basic conceptual documents (long- term Plan for Education and the Educational System in the City of Prague and Central Bohemia Region) and other policy materials created for specific regional education in the City of Prague and Central Bohemia Region. The aim of this final thesis is to describe the specific fundamental conditions for the development of regional education in each region, the specific shared conditions of City of Prague and Central Bohemia Region. The final thesis also describes the current functioning of regional education in terms of financing, legislation and some decision-making responsibilities of local governments - municipalities and regions. The aim of this thesis is also to find common requirements and recommendations of a shared approach to solving problems in regional education in the City of Prague and Central Bohemia Region.

In the period of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia between years 1939 - 1945 media, as well as the whole society, were controlled by the government of Nazi Germany. The control also included censorship of the press that operated for the benefit of the occupying power. Its essential component, Central Press Supervisory Service, had to approve every issue before it released to the press. But it also published daily instructions for the newsrooms, where two censors operated together with working journalists and their editors in chief. Our work uses four case studies to show how censor's directives influenced the final form of the selected newspapers.

The Commission for making the river Vltava and the river Labe in Bohemia navigable was founded in 1896 on the basis of a decree of the ministry of interior as the first water management office to be systematically engaged in making Czech rivers navigable by the canalization method. The Commission was headed by the vice-regent of the Kingdom of Bohemia to whom the members of state's and country's curia were subordinate. The executive section was represented by the central office, composed of the technical and administrative departments. Its activities were financed by two thirds by the Austrian state, one third was paid from the Czech country's treasury. After the establishment of the independent Czechoslovak republic, both curias were dissolved and the Commission was put under the control of the ministry of public works. The president of the country's political administration was appointed as the head of the Commission. The competence of the Commission was step by step extended from the initially entrusted task of making the river Vltava and the river Labe in the division Prague - Ústí nad Labem navigable also to making the river Vltava in Prague navigable as well as to the adaptation of the Holešovice port in Prague to a modern trade port and to drawing up studies on the utilization of water...

Problemstellung Kooperationsstrukturen grenzüberschreitender Nahverkehrsangebote sind bislang nur zu Einzelvorhaben untersucht und beschrieben worden. Es fehlte bislang eine vergleichende, typologisierende und systematisierende Untersuchung. Die besondere Herausforderung grenzüberschreitender Nahverkehrsplanung und -organisation liegt in der starken Verankerung des ÖPNV in nationalen Strukturen und Hierarchien. Besonders der fortwährende Annäherungsprozess an der deutsch-tschechischen Grenze stellt die Akteure vor große Herausforderungen. Forschungsfrage: Wer sind in unterschiedlichen Regionen die Akteure grenzüberschreitender Planungs- und Organisationsprozesse im öffentlichen Nahverkehr, wie und aus welchen Gründen gestalten sie die notwendigen Interaktionsprozesse vor dem Hintergrund ihrer Motive und Ressourcen? Vorgehensweise Ausgehend von eine theoretischen Fundierung in den Bereichen ÖPNV-Planung, Netzwerken und grenzüberschreitenden Kooperationen sind anhand eines Leitfadens insgesamt 43 Experteninterviews in deutscher und tschechischer Sprache in Salzburg, dem Berchtesgadener Land, Nordböhmen (Liberecký kraj, Ústecký kraj und Karlovarský kraj) sowie Südsachsen durchgeführt worden. Im Sinne einer qualitativen Netzwerkanalyse konnten insgesamt 23 Projekte und Vorhaben (davon 14 im sächsisch-tschechischen Raum) analysiert werden. Ergebnisse Ausgehend vom aktuellen ÖPNV-Angebot auf den grenzüberschreitenden Linien konnten unterschiedliche Angebotsstrukturen in themenbezogener Weise typologisiert werden. Zu unterscheiden sind partielle und verbundähnliche Kooperationen. Eine Erweiterung dieser Typisierung durch eine zielbezogene Strukturierung und Einbeziehung der Akteurs- und Interaktionsmodi liefert drei grundlegende Kooperationsstrukturen: Die problemlösungsorientierte, innersphärische Kooperation, die projektbezogene Kooperation (zielbezogene Umsetzung) und die entwicklungsorientierte, integrierte Kooperation. Querschnittsorientierte Ergebnisse Im Zuge der Interviewauswertung konnte eine Vielzahl an querschnittsorientierten Erkenntnissen gewonnen werden, die für die zukünftige Gestaltung grenzüberschreitender ÖPNV-Vorhaben handlungsleitend sein können. Die Erkenntnisse richten sich u.a. auf die Relevanz von Vertrauen, die Problematik fehlender Kongruenzen, zeitliche Aspekte sowie Unsicherheiten bzgl. Traditionen, Eigenarten und Hierarchien. Wissenschaftlich-methodische Ergebnisse Die Werkzeuge und Methoden der qualitativen Netzwerkanalyse konnten gewinnbringend im grenzüberschreitenden Kontext angewendet werden, wodurch ebenfalls ein Beitrag zur Überwindung des methodologischen Nationalismus geleistet wurde. Die qualitative Analyse von Einzelbeispielen liefert wichtige Hinweise für eine eher quantitativ-standardisierte Erhebungen einer größeren Anzahl von grenzüberschreitenden ÖPNV-Vorhaben. Nationale Organisationsmodelle des ÖPNV wurden diskutiert und um eine grenzüberschreitenden Komponente erweitert. Dadurch steht nun eine Darstellungsmethode für vergleichende Analysen zur Verfügung und grenzüberschreitende Organisationsstrukturen des ÖPNV zwischen nationalen Kontexten können systematisch verstanden und erklärt werden. Inhaltlich-anwendungsbezogene Ergebnisse Erstmals steht eine vergleichende Darstellung unterschiedlichster grenzüberschreitender Linien und Vorhaben in Bezug auf ihre Genese und Geschichte, ihrer regionalen Einbettung und ihrer ÖPNV-bezogenen Funktion zur Verfügung. Die den oft rudimentären grenzüberschreitenden ÖPNV-Angeboten und ihrer Einbindung in nationale Systeme zugrunde liegenden Problemstrukturen können besser verstanden werden. Die Blackbox der Gestaltung ÖPNV-bezogener Kooperationsstrukturen wird aufgebrochen. Die genaue Analyse der Netzwerkbeziehungen mit der qualitativen Ergänzung führt zu einem besseren Verständnis grenzüberschreitender ÖPNV-Strukturen durch verantwortliche Akteure in Politik und Verwaltung und erleichtert damit die politische und verwaltungsbezogene Unterstützung grenzüberschreitender Vorhaben vor Ort. Ergänzend wird der Handlungsbedarf auf regionaler, nationaler und europäischer Ebene hinsichtlich notwendiger rechtlich-organisatorischer Rahmenbedingungen für eine Vereinfachung grenzüberschreitender ÖPNV-Vorhaben skizziert. Fazit Die Arbeit liefert eine vergleichende ÖPNV-bezogene Darstellung zweier sehr unterschiedlicher Regionen im Mitteleuropa. Akteure im ÖPNV finden darin systematische Darstellungen der rechtlich-organisatorischen Rahmenbedingungen in den untersuchten Räumen und können den Umgang der Akteure vor Ort mit diesem institutionellen Kontext verstehen. Flexible, unkonventionelle und strategisch bedeutsame Lösungsansätze können nachgeschlagen und aufgrund der Modellbildung hinsichtlich ihrer Anwendbarkeit und Übertragbarkeit überprüft werden. Gerade für den sich weiter im Transformationsprozess befindlichen sächsisch-tschechischen Grenzraum liefert die Arbeit im Sinne des europäischen Kohäsionsprozesses umfangreiche Grundlagen, zukünftige Kooperationen im ÖPNV erfolgreich für alle Seiten zu gestalten.

This dimploma thesis deals with the contemporary context of the social and cultural relations in Bohemia in the second half of 19th century and at the begining of 20th century. The thesis highlights essential personalities of those times as they were seen through the prism of musical life within the boundaries of leading musical institutions of those times. Furhtermore the thesis refers to relations of these giants with Josef Suk and focuses on Suk's piano compositions in detail within the context of his complete works.

This submitted paper aims to give a communicative image of the conflicts of the Czech Estates Uprising in the south of Bohemia. The focal point of the research has been three clashes of Protestant and Catholic armies. The first was the Battle of Lomnice, which took place on November 11, 1618, between the allied estates troops of Jindřich Matyáš Thurn and Jiří Fridrich Hohenlohe and the catholic military assembly of Karel Bonaventura Buquoy. After the battle that was victorious for the generals of the estates, the military actions moved to the area around České Budějovice, which was besieged by the army of the estates, as the catholic troops withdrew here. Ending the siege of the South Bohemian metropolis caused the third conflict, which has become part of this work. The battle at Záblatí took place on June 10, 1619, by the troops of Petr Arnošt of Mansfeld, the general of the rebellious Czech estates, and the military corps of imperial mercenaries commanded by Karel Bonaventura Buquoy. The aim of the author was to capture the fullest range of information framework, which was completed by reports of these military clashes of the Czech Estates Uprising. As part of research activities, attention was paid first to the works which explored the battle of Záblatí from political and military point of view. This view became a basic framework in which the research was conducted. However, the work should not only to recapitulate the conclusions already drawn, but the aim was to look at the examined issue with a new look. Such a view was based in the research of either new or to-nowoverlooked sources, such as the period news that historical science began to discover in recent years. A relatively large part of the historical community took the argument in saying that under the tide of propaganda and perspice it is not possible to find the truth about individual events of the Czech Estates Uprising. It would certainly be possible to claim that credible authentic information was scarce in the leaflets of the Czech Estates Uprising. These who contracted the prints, however, attempted to influence the readers of contemporary journalism and help them orientate in their intellectual worlds that were in this way uncovering to us. Another possibility for viewing the conflicts of the Czech Estates Uprising was offered through the view of the ordinary villages and towns inhabitants that were coming into contacts or were just observers of the South Bohemian battlefield. Although the preservation of the sources of the early 17th century from the environment of towns and villages was far from abundant, we managed to find some authentic testimonies that evaluated the battles of the Czech Estates Uprising from the very distinctive angles of view. The author interpreted sources of song lyrics reporting to the rural environment and sources of interurban correspondence, through which he tried to uncover at least part of the mental world of ordinary residents of South Bohemia affected by war in the first third of the 17th century and their view on the South Bohemian battlegrounds. Similarly, he also proceeded in the interpretation of the noble correspondence, whether it were warriors or the aristocrats affected by war misfortunes.

The qualifying work first talks about the political career and personal life of Karel Hermann Frank, a former state secretary and a German state minister for the territory of the Protectorate. His typical double-role of the Reich and the Autonomous autorities of the administrative system of the Czech-Moravian space is described in detail. Frank's position was also investigated outside of this state in relation to the offices of the former Czechoslovak border, the NSDAP and the leading posts in Berlin. This analysis was carried out not only on the basis of professional literature in the Czech, English and German languages, but also on the basis of the chosen official correspondence of K. H. Frank. This has led to research that has confirmed, or overturned, and has greatly enriched what historians have been researching in this historical area.
