Proofs of God's existence in the work of Thomas Aquinas

Předložená bakalářská práce má za cíl vyložit v širších souvislostech problematiku důkazů Boží existence u Tomáše Akvinského. Zaměřuje se nejdříve na uchopení základních pojmů "důkaz" a "Bůh", na základě kterých uvádí do filosofie tomistické tradice. Po krátkém zastavení u starších myslitelů se pokouší popsat důkazy čili "cesty" k nalezení evidence Boží existence obsažené ve spisech Tomáše Akvinského, doplněné kritikou některých autorů. Zvolená metoda práce je kompilace relevantních poznatků ze sekundární literatury a následná analýza primární literatury, místy spojená s komparací. Klíčová slova Bůh, existence, Tomáš Akvinský, filosofie, teologie, přirozená teologieThe submitted Bachelor Thesis aims at the explanation of proofs of Godʼs existence in the work of Thomas Aquinas in a broader context. First, it is focused on the understanding of the basic terms of "proof" and "God" employed in the introduction of Thomistic tradition into philosophy. After a brief stop with previous theologians, the Thesis attempts to describe the proofs, or "ways", towards finding evidence of Godʼs existence, as contained in the writings of Thomas Aquinas. These descriptions are supplemented with criticism of some of the authors. The chosen approach includes a compilation of relevant knowledge from secondary literature followed by an analysis of primary literature, occasionally combined with comparison.

Revision of Scheumann’s classification of melilitic lamprophyres and related melilitic rocks in light of new analytical data

Dykes of the Late Cretaceous to Early Tertiary (79.5 ± 3.5 to 60.7 ± 2.4 Ma) melilitic rock series of the Osečná Com- plex and the Devil’s Walls dyke swarm, including ultramafic lamprophyres – polzenites – of Scheumann (1913) occur dispersed in the entire Upper Ploučnice River basin in northern Bohemia. Polzenites and associated melilitic rocks are characterized by the mineral association of olivine + melilite ± nephe- line, haüyne, monticellite, phlogopite, calcite, perovskite, spinels and apatite. New data on their mineral and chemical compositions from original Scheumann’s localities (the Vesec, Modlibohov, Luhov types) argue against the abolition of the group of ultramafic lamprophyres and the terms ‘polzenite’ and ‘alnöite’ by the Le Maitre (2002) classification. Marginal facies and numerous flat apophyses of the lopolith-like body known as the Osečná Complex show an olivine micro-melilitolite composition (lamprophyric facies). The porphyritic texture, chemical composition and the presence of characteristic minerals such as monticellite and phlogopite point to their affinity with ultramafic lamprophyres – polze- nites of the Vesec type. Melilite-bearing olivine nephelinites to olivine melilitites (olivine + clinopyroxene + nepheline + melilite ± haüyne and spinels with apatite) form a swarm of subparallel dykes known as the Devil’s Walls. The Scheumann’s non-melilite dyke rock “wesselite”, spatially associated with polzenites and often erroneously attributed to the polzenite group, is an alkaline lamprophyre of monchiquite to camptonite composition (kaersutite + phlogopite + diopside + olivine phenocrysts in groundmass containing clinopyroxene, phlogopite, haüyne, analcime, titanian mag- netite, apatite ± glass/plagioclase). First K–Ar data show Oligocene ages (30.9 ± 1.2 to 27.8 ± 1.1 Ma) and an affinity to the common tephrite–basanite rock series

Chemistry and Sr–Nd isotope signature of amphiboles of the magnesio-hastingsite-pargasite-kaersutite series in Cenozoic volcanic rocks: Insight into lithospheric mantle beneath the Bohemian Massif

Amphibole phenocrysts and xenocrysts from Cenozoic volcanic rocks of the Bohemian Massif (BM) belong to the magnesio-hastingsite-pargasite-kaersutite series. Their host rocks are mostly basaltic lavas, dykes and breccia pipe fills, less commonly also felsic rocks from rift zones along lithospheric block boundaries of the BM. The calculated p–T conditions suggest that almost all amphiboles crystallized in a relatively narrow temperature range (1020–1100 °C) at depths of 20–45 km (0.7–1.2 GPa) during the magma ascent. The initial 143Nd/144Nd and 87Sr/86Sr ratios of amphiboles (0.51266–0.51281 and 0.70328–0.70407, respectively) are similar to those of their whole rocks (0.51266–0.51288 and 0.70341–0.70462, respectively). This testifies to locally elevated proportions of recycled Variscan crustal material during melting of mantle peridotites rich in clinopyroxene–amphibole veins. These veins were formed by metasomatic fluids enriched in High Field Strength Elements and are isotopically similar to EM-1 mantle type.Fenokrysty a xenokrysty amfibolů kenozoických vulkanických hornin Českého masivu (ČM) náleží svým složením do magnesiohastingsit-pargasit-kaersutitové série. Jejich hostitelské horniny jsou především bazaltické lávy, žíly nebo brekciovité výplně komínů, méně často také felsické horniny z riftových zón podél hranic litosférických bloků ČM. Vypočtené p-T podmínky ukazují, že téměř všechny amfiboly krystalizovaly v relativně úzkém teplotním rozmezí (1020–1100 °C) v hloubkách 20–45 km (0,7–1,2 GPa) během výstupu magmatu. Iniciální izotopové poměry 143Nd/144Nd a 87Sr/86Sr v amfibolech jsou v rozmezí 0,51266–0,51281 a 0,70328–0,70407. To vypovídá o lokálně zvýšeném množství recyklovaného variského korového materiálu během tavení plášťového peridotitu bohatého na klinopyroxen-amfibolové žíly. Tyto žíly vznikly z metasomatických fluid obohacených o prvky s velkým iontovým potenciálem a jsou izotopově podobné obohacenému plášti typu 1 (EM-1)

Pseudorapidity dependence of the anisotropic flow of charged particles in Pb–Pb collisions at √sNN=2.76 TeV

We present measurements of the elliptic (v2), triangular (v3) and quadrangular (v4) anisotropic az- imuthal flow over a wide range of pseudorapidities (−3.5 < η < 5). The measurements are performed with Pb–Pb collisions at √sNN = 2.76 TeV using the ALICE detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The flow harmonics are obtained using two- and four-particle correlations from nine differ- ent centrality intervals covering central to peripheral collisions. We find that the shape of vn(η) is largely independent of centrality for the flow harmonics n = 2 − 4, however the higher harmonics fall off more steeply with increasing |η|. We assess the validity of extended longitudinal scaling of v2 by comparing to lower energy measurements, and find that the higher harmonic flow coefficients are proportional to the charged particle densities at larger pseudorapidities. Finally, we compare our measurements to both hydrodynamical and transport models, and find they both have challenges when it comes to describing our data

Constraining long-term denudation and faulting history in intraplate regions by multisystem thermochronology: An example of the Sudetic Marginal Fault (Bohemian Massif, central Europe)

The Rychlebské hory Mountain region in the Sudetes (NE Bohemian Massif) provides a natural laboratory for studies of postorogenic landscape evolution. This work reveals both the exhumation history of the region and the paleoactivity along the Sudetic Marginal Fault (SMF) using zircon (U-Th)/He (ZHe), apatite fission track (AFT), and apatite (U-Th)/He (AHe) dating of crystalline basement and postorogenic sedimentary samples. Most significantly, and in direct contradiction of traditional paleogeographic reconstructions, this work has found evidence of a large Cretaceous sea and regional burial (to >6.5 km) of the Carboniferous-Permian basement in the Late Cretaceous (~95–80 Ma). During the burial by sediments of the Bohemian Cretaceous Basin System, the SMF acted as a normal fault as documented by offset ZHe ages across the fault. At 85–70 Ma, the basin was inverted, Cretaceous strata eroded, and basement blocks were exhumed to the near surface at a rate of ~300 m/Ma as evidenced by Late Cretaceous–Paleocene AFT ages and thermal modeling results. There is no appreciable difference in AFT and AHe ages across the fault, suggesting that the SMF acted as a reverse fault during exhumation. In the late Eocene–Oligocene, the basement was locally heated to <70°C by magmatic activity related to opening of the Eger rift system. Neogene or younger thermal activity was not recorded in the thermochronological data, confirming that late Cenozoic uplift and erosion of the basement blocks was limited to less than ∼1.5 km in the study area

Methodologies for measuring the compliance costs of taxation

The bachelor's thesis deals with two methodologies used for measuring the „compliance costs“ which are Paying Taxes methodology from the World Bank web sites and Standard Cost Model. The main aim of the work is description of both methodologies and their comparison. To accomplish that point it is done by research of literature and recommendations of specialized web sources focused on the issue of „compliance costs“. The theoretical concept of compliance costs is described and recent studies connected with listed issue are mentioned as well. Two methodologies and their theoretical aspects are afterwards defined in details. By the data from previous chapters and information obtained throughout the whole process, the methodologies are at the end compared.Bakalářská práce se zabývá dvěma metodikami měření vyvolaných nákladů zdanění.
