The text focuses on the Czech Province of the Dominican Order roughly in the period of 1650 - 1721. It is based chiefly on two sources - the diaries of the provincials and the Rule of the Order. It aims at reconstruction of certain aspects of the life of the Order concerning health, illness and prevention. The paper pays attention mainly to two themes very well documented in the given sources: (a) visits of thermal baths/spas and (b) two last plague epidemics (1679-1681, 1713-1716)., Karel Černý., and Obsahuje seznam literatury

In this study, the demographic profile of the Roman population buried in Gerulata, southwest Slovakia, is reconstructed. Our research is based on those human skeletal remains, which were anthropologically examined and thus allowed us to partially estimate the mortality pattern of this population, chronologically dated between the 1st and 4th centuries CE. By means of current demographic methods the basic mortality parameters from the estimated life table are compared with different population models, with pacific regard to the identification of potential biases, two of which - the general infant under-representation and the unbalanced sex ration - are further discussed., Lucia Hlavenková, Jaroslava Schmidtová, Tomáš Zeman., and Obsahuje odkazy pod čarou
