Communists, Catholics and Teaching Religion
Tato práce se snažà historizovat fenomĂ©n vĂ˝uky náboĹľenstvĂ v ÄŤeskĂ˝ch zemĂch, pĹ™edevšĂm v obdobĂ 1950-1956. PĹ™edmÄ›tem zájmu je v prvnà části práce analĂ˝za vztahu KomunistickĂ© strany ÄŚeskoslovenska a Ĺ™ĂmskokatolickĂ© cĂrkve s cĂlem vytvoĹ™it vhodnĂ˝ rámec pro část empirickou. Ve druhĂ© části práce popisuje jak strategie KSÄŚ na poli vĂ˝uky náboĹľenstvĂ, tak i konkrĂ©tnĂ sociálnĂ praxi spojenou s jejich implementacĂ. DĂky tomu studie mapuje urÄŤitĂ˝ pomyslnĂ˝ prostor stĂ˝kánĂ ideologickĂ©ho nároku s kaĹľdodennĂ praxĂ, která je vytvářena v komunikaci mezi komunistickĂ˝mi elitami, cĂrkevnĂmi tajemnĂky, lokálnĂmi funkcionáři, uÄŤiteli a Ĺ™editeli, cĂrkevnĂ hierarchiĂ a samotnĂ˝mi věřĂcĂmi. Práce docházĂ k závÄ›rĹŻm, Ĺľe v socialistickĂ©m školstvĂ existovala jistá snaha o vyuĹľitĂ náboĹľenskĂ© vĂ˝uky ve smyslu socialistická vĂ˝chovy. NicmĂ©nÄ› od konce prvnĂ poloviny 50. let byla tato snaha postupnÄ› redukována a všechny známky normality vĂ˝uky náboĹľenstvĂ mÄ›ly bĂ˝t omezeny na minimum. Práce však ukazuje, Ĺľe lokálnĂ praxe ne vĹľdy tomuto nároku dostála. VĹľdy totiĹľ byla limitována snahou nepĹ™ekroÄŤit rámec "legality", kterĂ˝ by mohl ohroĹľovat legitimitu komunistickĂ©ho panstvĂ. CelĂ˝ proces vĂ˝uky náboĹľenstvĂ nebyl tedy pouze diktátem pĹ™edstavitelĹŻ KSÄŚ, ale dĹŻsledkem interakce nejrĹŻznÄ›jšĂch faktorĹŻ nastĂnÄ›nĂ˝ch v práci.

In the first part of the thesis, the subject of interest is the analysis of the relationship between the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia (CPCZ) and the Roman Catholic Church in order to create an appropriate framework for the empirical part. The second part of the thesis describes both the CPCZ strategy in the field of religious education and the concrete social practice associated with their implementation. As a result, the study maps a certain imaginary space between the ideological claim and the daily practice that is created in communication between communist elites, church secretaries, local officials, teachers and directors, church representatives, and believers themselves. The thesis concludes that in socialist education there was a certain effort to use religious teaching in the sense of socialist upbringing. However, since the end of the first half of the 1950s, this effort has been gradually reduced and all signs of the normality of teaching religion should have been reduced to a minimum, but the study shows that local practice has not always achieved this claim. It has always been limited by an effort not to go beyond the "legality" framework that could jeopardize...Ăšstav hospodářskĂ˝ch a sociálnĂch dÄ›jinInstitute of Economic and Social HistoryFaculty of ArtsFilozofická fakult
Forbidden Faith: The so-called Religious Sects and Communist Dictatorship
StátnÄ›-socialistickĂ˝ systĂ©m budovanĂ˝ po roce 1948 v ÄŚeskoslovensku se vyznaÄŤoval snahou cĂlenÄ› sekularizovat spoleÄŤnost a religiozitu nahradit ideologickou soustavou, zaloĹľenou na hodnotách marxismu-leninismu. RepresivnĂ opatĹ™enĂ postupnÄ› dopadla na všechny náboĹľenskĂ© organizace, ale nikoliv na všechny stejnou mÄ›rou. Specifickou skupinu tvoĹ™ily náboĹľenskĂ© spoleÄŤnosti, jeĹľ komunistickĂ˝ diskurz definoval jako "sekty." Ty se opakovanÄ› dostávaly do existenciálnĂho ohroĹľenĂ, jelikoĹľ se vymykaly dobovĂ© pĹ™edstavÄ› o "normálnĂm" náboĹľenstvĂ. PĹ™edkládaná disertaÄŤnĂ práce na pĹ™Ăkladu dvou takovĂ˝chto spoleÄŤenstvĂ (letniÄŤnĂ hnutĂ, NáboĹľenská spoleÄŤnost SvÄ›dkovĂ© Jehovovi) analyzuje vzájemnĂ© interakce věřĂcĂch aktĂ©rĹŻ s reprezentanty státu. Práce ukazuje, Ĺľe ateizaÄŤnĂ strategie státu nepĹ™inesly ateistickou spoleÄŤnost a pomocĂ konceptu náboĹľenskĂ©ho pole docházĂ k tomu, Ĺľe v prĹŻseÄŤĂku náboĹľenstvĂ - kultura - politika vytvoĹ™ily distinktivnĂ prostor, ve kterĂ©m byli nejrĹŻznÄ›jšà věřĂcĂ sice nuceni modifikovat svĂ© duchovnĂ praxe, ale rozhodnÄ› se nestali ovládanĂ˝mi pasivnĂmi pĹ™ihlĂĹľejĂcĂmi. StejnÄ› tak státnĂ správa nezĹŻstávala statická a jejĂ ÄŤinnost se postupnÄ› diverzifikovala v závislosti na specifikách danĂ© náboĹľenskĂ© spoleÄŤnosti. Práce docházĂ k závÄ›ru, Ĺľe stát vzhledem k tzv. sektám nevytvoĹ™il jednotnou strategii a...The state-socialist system built after 1948 in Czechoslovakia was characterized by an effort to purposefully secularize society and replace religiosity with an ideological system based on the values of Marxism-Leninism. The repressive measures gradually affected all religious organizations, but not all of them equally. A specific category was constituted by religious groups, which the communist discourse defined as "sects." These were repeatedly placed in existential danger because they were outside the contemporary notion of "normal" religion. The dissertation uses the example of two such communities (the Pentecostal Movement, the Jehovah's Witnesses Religious Society) to analyse the interactions of religious actors with state representatives. The thesis demonstrates that the state's atheization strategies did not produce an atheistic society and, using the concept of the religious field, created a disjunctive space at the intersection of religion-culture-politics in which various believers were forced to modify their spiritual practices, but certainly did not become dominated passive bystanders. Similarly, the state administration did not remain static, and its activities gradually diversified according to the specificities of a given religious group. The thesis concludes that the state did not...Ăšstav ÄŤeskĂ˝ch dÄ›jinInstitute of Czech HistoryFilozofická fakultaFaculty of Art
Social defeat stimulates local glucocorticoid regeneration in lymphoid organs
Stress is an important risk factors for human diseases. It activates the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis and increases plasma glucocorticoids, which are powerful regulators of immune system. The response of the target cells to glucocorticoids depends not only on the plasma concentrations of cortisol and corticosterone but also on their local metabolism. This metabolism is catalyzed by 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases type 1 and 2, which interconvert glucocorticoid hormones cortisol and corticosterone and their 11-oxo metabolites cortisone and 11-dehydrocorticosterone. The goal of this study was to determine whether stress modulates glucocorticoid metabolism within lymphoid organs – the structures where immune cells undergo development and activation. Using the resident-intruder paradigm, we studied the effect of social stress on glucocorticoid metabolism in primary and secondary lymphoid organs of Fisher 344 (F344) and Lewis (LEW) rats, which exhibit marked differences in their HPA axis response to social stressors and inflammation. We show that repeated social defeat increased the regeneration of corticosterone from 11-dehydrocorticosterone in the thymus, spleen and mesenteric lymphatic nodes (MLN). Compared with the F344 strain, LEW rats showed higher corticosterone regeneration in splenocytes of unstressed rats and in thymic and MLN mobile cells after stress but corticosterone regeneration in the stroma of all lymphoid organs was similar in both strains. Inactivation of corticosterone to 11-dehydrocorticosterone was found only in the stroma of lymphoid organs but not in mobile lymphoid cells and was not upregulated by stress. Together, our findings demonstrate the tissue- and strain-dependent regeneration of glucocorticoids following social stress

The Image of Bolsheviks in Memory of Czechoslovak Legionaries
The aim of this bachelor thesis was to describe the process of creation of the image and role of the Bolsheviks in the memory of Czechoslovak legionnaires. The main goal questioned was (i) how this image was generated immediatelly during the period of the legionnaries activities in Russia and (ii) how it has been changed after their return to Czechoslovakia. The first part of the analysis is based on legionnaries publications issued in Russia, namely the newspaper "ÄŚeskoslovenskĂ˝ dennĂk". The second part analyses the interwar legionnaries literature, mainly the texts of writers who commented on the Russian revolutionary events in general. Using the comparison of literary sources this work shows that returned legionnaries writers oversimplified Bolshevik theme in their texts and assigned them a stereotyped role of the enemy. Key words: Czechoslovak Legion, Literature of Legionaries, Bolsheviks, Image of the othe
