This thesis deals with the intellectual heritage of Rabbi Judah Loew ben Bezalel, the Maharal of Prague and with his affiliation to the Kabbalah. The Kabbalah sprang up amongst Jewish scholars of 12th century Spain and reached its apex in the composition of the Zohar. This study shows the ways the Maharal used the Zohar and to what end. First chapter deals with the life and writings of the Maharal. The second summarises previous attempts to describe the Maharal's affinity for Jewish mysticism. The third chapter describes how the Zohar was written. It includes a textological comparison, which aims to find which edition or group of manuscripts of the Zohar the Maharal used. It also makes note of the special form of zoharic Aramaic that is present in the Maharal's writings. The fourth chapter raises the question of halakhic authority of the Zohar in the 15th and 16th centuries. Three main chapters of this thesis provide analysis and commentary of chosen zoharic texts (Zohar III,152a, Zohar III,40a, Zohar I,18a a Zohar I,33b) quoted by the Maharal in his writings and with their theological reflection. Zohar III,152a speaks about different layers of meaning implied in the text of the Torah. This chapter deals with the basic development of Jewish hermeneutics and attempts to find Maharal's place in it....

This thesis deals with rape and the possibilities of its protection against pests. The most important pests of this crop include rape stem weevil (Ceutorhynchus napi, Gyllenhal 1837), rape beetle (Brassicogethes aeneus Fabricius, 1775 Meligethes aeneus) and brassica pod midge (Dasineura napi, Loew 1850). In the practical part of the dissertation, 26 variants of application sequences of insecticides were evaluated. The first and last variant was taken as a control and therefore not treated with any insecticide. Insecticides were applied on the basis of pest control. In each variant, an insecticide was first applied, which was primarily intended for rape stem weevil (Ceutonhynchus napi, Gyllenhal 1837). The second insecticide was focused on rape beetles (Brassicogethes aeneus Fabricius, 1775, Meligethes aeneus). The third application of the insecticide was determined for the brassica pod midge (Dasineura napi Loew, 1850). The results were evaluated and entered into tables and subsequently statistically processed using Statistica 12. The aim of this work was to evaluate the most effective sequence of three insecticides against the main rapeseed pests. The view was also taken on an anti-resilient strategy in which insecticides having the same active substance should not be applied.

The Path of Restraint is sixteenth chapter of Maharal's philosophical and ethical tractate "Netivot olam".

The submitted work deals with selected texts from the Path of Restraint, especially with the prohibition of men's autoeroticism. The thesis provides coherent view on Maharal's writings and on the meaning of the term "prishut" within the framework of Maharal's writings. The author of this thesis believes, that the term "prishut" has an essential meaning for Maharal's universe. The true "restraint" has the power to emancipate the man from the destructive influence of the matter and to unify the sphere of the matter with the sphere of divinity. The author then focuses on the passage from the Sefer Zohar (1:18a). Maharal cites the passage three times in his entire work - in the Path of Restraint, in Hiddushei Aggadot and in Be'er ha-Golah. The aforementioned text of the Zohar describes the emanation of the divine creative potency through sefiroth. Latter on Maharal...
