Linhart, T: The borderline and the relationship to its surroundings. [Diploma thesis] Praha 2015 Charles University, Faculty of Education, Department of Art Education, 71 p. (Attachments on CD: 2 illustration attachments). The diploma thesis features a theoretical study on the background of the author's own artwork. The text interprets the borderline as a horizon that would emerge and vanish. It presents the author's own artistic grasp of the theme in context of selected trends in fine arts. Author seeks to define the boundary of fine arts and art education to establish a foundation to his own pedagogic determination. He shows what theoretical frameworks take part on shaping his own professional direction. The didactic part looks at select situations from the author's teaching practice that already took place and reflects them in context of author's other pedagogic experience. The accomplishment and utility of the work lie in a description and interpretation of select situations from practice of a fledgling teacher and an educational complex, field tested, intended for gymnasium students.

The diploma thesis deals with the identification of the important factors of the shopping environment that influence the consumers during their purchase.

A quantitative survey was supplemented by a qualitative survey that was processed in a form of controlled interviews. The results from the acquired data were used as recommendations for the second hand shops owners and a concrete plan including changes in a calculation has been developed for Bellitex s.r.o.

The thesis Teaching of the Eucharist sacrament in Magisterial documents from 2nd Vatican council to present at first, concerns with the Second Vatican Council, where, first of all, deals with the selected paragraphs from the particular constitutions, which participated essentially on the formation and elucidation of the eucharistic dogma. For the reason of coherent image, not a single decree was left behind (1st chapter). The teachings on the eucharist after the Second Vatican Council is divided according to the pontificates, those are an interest of the following chapters (2nd - 4th chapter). Each chapter deals only with the most important documents of the period. At first, the structure for every document is presented and after that follows a commentary on the eucharistic teachings, that indicates effect of this sacrament (the source and the summit of all the action; the unity of church and faithful). The fundamental questions are: Why was the given document written? Who wrote it? On what did an author reacted? The main goal of the work is to show the continuous church teachings on the eucharist. For the church can not be divided in the pre- and post-conciliar.

Results also shows problems associated with using of method emotional journey, like the suitability of some emotions or understanding of meaning of some emotions by customers. Data were collected through mystery shopping method, which is commonly used for measuring of customer experience, and also data were collected through interviews with mystery shoppers.

Thesis advisor: Boyd Taylor Coolman / This dissertation offers a new systematic interpretation and retrieval of the theology and spirituality of the 12th century master Hugh of St. Victor, an interpretation centered on the Triune LORD’s unifying and reforming work in history in the three days of Jesus Christ’s dying, burial, and rising. Seen from the vantage of Hugh’s treatise On the Three Days, these ‘three days’ of Jesus Christ’s ‘Passover’ are, for Hugh, the plenary revelation of the Trinity in history – and so an eschatological disclosure – and are at once the soteriological and spiritual center of his theology. The work of the dissertation is, in part one, to explore the objective polarity of the LORD’s work in the three days. This entails an in-depth treatment of Hugh’s christology, including the currently contested and historically misconstrued territory of Hugh’s doctrine of the hypostatic union. Moreover, the project brings out the integral connections between Hugh’s doctrine of the hypostatic union and his soteriology of the re-formation of all of history in the three days. This triadic soteriological scheme in turn correlates to three degrees of theological language and of Triune self-revelation in history. The task of part two of the dissertation is to study the subjective polarity of Spirit-enabled human participation in Christ’s dying, burial, and rising. Hugh’s spirituality and practice of theology are explored as means of human re-formation unto wonder, wisdom, and charity – in short, unto mystical and ultimately eschatological union with God – through participation in the paschal mystery. These chapters thus systematize and explore aspects of Hugh’s thought as diverse as the communal formation at the Abbey of St. Victor, humility, study of the liberal arts and memorization of Scripture, theological meditation, allegorical and tropological biblical interpretation, works of charity, and the responsive eros of Hugh’s contemplative mysticism, all as means of sharing, by turns, in Christ’s dying, burial, and rising. The third and final part of the dissertation attempts a contemporary practice of Hugonian theology. It places the Hugonian theology retrieved in parts one and two in the context of the reception of Laudato Si’ in order to offer a christological and mystical companion to Pope Francis’ encyclical. It argues that the ‘ecological conversion’ for which Pope Francis calls, as a subjective participation in Christ, implicitly depends upon a robust enough objective christology to make the summons to particularly ‘ecological’ conversion coherent and compelling. Hence the contemporary eco-christologies of Sallie McFague and Celia Deane-Drummond are studied and adjudicated. Finally, on the basis of the gains accrued in the course of those eco-christological engagements, a renewed Hugonian christology and soteriology is proposed as a framework for and aid to the spiritual and moral implementation of Laudato Si’. Ecological conversion is itself, most properly, a process of human re-formation in the three days of Jesus Christ’s Passover, and hence practical efforts to teach and implement Laudato Si’ benefit from a Hugonian theological and spiritual approach. / Thesis (PhD) — Boston College, 2018. / Submitted to: Boston College.

Abstract The essay’s purpose, which is a qualitative study with an inductive approach, is to investigate how the concept of mystagogy is described. The goal of the study is to gain a deeper understanding of the concept of mystagogy. The study also wants to study and investigate whether it is possible to link mystagogics to the theoretical framework of lived religion.  Based on the purpose of the study and the goals, there are two research questions that will be addressed. The first question is about how mystagogics is described in a Swedish-language context and the second question is about how the seven dimensions of the theoretical framework of lived religion can be discovered in the material.  The study's results show that mystagogy described as teaching or as a pedagogy to make people believe. Mystagogy about people being led into what is mysterious, into the mystery, through teaching in different ways. But it is also about the fact that it is something that touches the heart, which makes the mystical indistinguishable from life. The mystagogic learning is about community, sharing and belonging, an environment and a context where there is an opportunity for spiritual deepening. A place where you get the opportunity to learn from each other. As for my second research question about whether it is possible to see any connection between mystagogics and Live Religion, the study shows that connection is most evident in four of the dimensions that Ammerman describes - spirituality, materiality, physicality and the story.
