Intelligent Fighting Units
Kužela, Martin ; Janeček, Petr (referee) ; Drahanský, Martin (advisor)
The field training of army units includes high financial, material and human resource investments. From this reason, an emphasis on the simulator training of these units arised recently. But the training in simulator needs to have the simulated units as intelligent as a human beings are, so the field training with real human opponents can be successfully replaced with the simulator training. This work deals with the design of fighting unit's intelligent behaviour, that will be applicable in the E-COM simulator environment. Work covers the description of intelligent agents and ways how to achieve their rational and autonomous behaviour. The proposal and the analysis of intelligent fighting unit's implementation and unit's communication with surrounding environment, basic implementation of this proposal and experiments with created implementation are also described in this work.

The influence of the planned realization of the VRT railway terminal Ústí nad Labem Centre on the discursive construction of the future of the city from the perspective of chronopolitics.
Zářecký, Ladislav ; Gibas, Petr (advisor) ; Janeček, Petr (referee)
In the context of the planned implementation of the High Speed Rail (HSR) megaproject in the Czech Republic, speculations, stories about the future, revitalization discourses as well as positive and negative expectations related to the impacts of the project implementation are beginning to take shape and circulate in the affected regions and cities. The Czech Railways Administration (Správa železnic) is currently working with the possibility of routing the HSR Prague - Dresden through the city of Ústí nad Labem, the research site of the presented work, and with the possibility of building a special railway terminal in its centre, despite the original concept of territorial development. However, the exact form of the route and the terminal remains unclear, which, apart from the plan itself, causes a number of disputes and speculations. Some actors frame the project as a major opportunity for positive change in the city and the region, while many perceive the route through the centre of Ústí as a major threat and a radical negative intervention into the very fabric of the city, and for some the whole issue is elusive or ambivalent. The aim of this thesis is to describe by means of the method of discourse analysis how the narrative of the future of the city of Ústí nad Labem is articulated and...

Ilegální nálepky ve veřejném prostoru Prahy: Etnologická perspektiva
Mauer, Filip ; Janeček, Petr (advisor) ; Pohunek, Jan (referee)
Although Prague is plagued with fly-posting (černá reklama), most residents don't give these a second glance, relegated in the mind of the viewer as nothing more than adverts. However, in major cities around the world, similar stickers are put up as political statements, advocating for any number of groups or theories or movements, reacting to current events, and being torn down or plastered over by parties that disagree with their message. It is the hypothesis of this paper that a similar scenario is playing out in the centre of the Czech capital. I wish to prove this hypothesis via on-site observation near the old town area (Staroměstská), and the tracking of fly-posters, their placement, message, and subsequent treatment. In an age where access to the skills and equipment to make high-quality logos, images, text and layout are commonplace, it is time to stop viewing this area as merely the domain of advertising and media studies, and treat it as an expression of urban culture. Keywords: illegal stickers, black advertising, Prague, graffiti, Urban, Streetscape.

Moravcová, Anežka ; Janeček, Petr (advisor) ; Košťálová, Petra (referee)
Jewish festivities make an important part of Jewish culture. Their form has long stabilized and become fixed through years. This thesis would ascertain the importance of these festivities within the community of the Czech Union of Jewish Students, The community comprises persons from fifteen to thirty-five years of age. During my research there were sixty one members. These youths gather to celebrate important feasts in the Jewish year, and sometimes even to celebrate together the weekly feast of Sabbat with the comunity of Moishe house, as I was allowed to witness. This work examines the feasts through the concept of "performance", concept known from Victor Turner and widely used by Richard Bauman. The research was conducted by the means of empirical evaluation, structured dialogues, questionnaires. The study concludes the performance of these festivities shows signs of the so called "emergent quality", a term invented by Richard Bauman. This creative aspect is an important way of expressing and confirming the identity of the given community. It also reflects and reacts to the actual facets of the community, and so keeps its culture "alive". This work shows that celebrating the feasts with the Union may provide Jewish persons who do not belong to any strict division of Judaism with a sense of...

Rybáková, Bohumíra ; Janeček, Petr (advisor) ; Kreisslová, Sandra (referee)
The Harry Potter saga by the British author J. K. Rowling became a worldwide phenomenon soon after its publication. As its popularity grew at the turn of the millennium, a fan base began to form, and its ranks expanded in the wake of the film adaptation that followed not long after. The thesis focuses on contemporary young Czech fans of Harry Potter, representatives of the so-called Generation Z, and their participation in the fandom of this work on the social network Instagram. The aim of the thesis, theoretically based primarily on fandom studies, is to answer the questions of how Generation Z comes to the world of Harry Potter, what meanings it holds for them, what the motivations for their participation in the fandom are, and what form this participation takes. The research is based on data collected through semi-structured interviews with Czech Harry Potter fans who self-identify as Generation Z, were born within a certain generational cohort (from the second half of the 1990s to the end of the first decade of the new century), and participate on the social network Instagram.

The results of the research reveal that fans who self-identify as Generation Z were introduced to the fictional world of Harry Potter...

Czech Palermo?: Rumors and contemporary legends of Pribram as part of the collective identity of inhabitants of the Pribram region
Drapáková, Anna ; Janeček, Petr (advisor) ; Kreisslová, Sandra (referee)
The city of Příbram earned the nickname "Czech Palermo" mainly due to the events of the 1990s related to the activities of organized crime, black and grey economy, especially corruption and other, often still unexplained, criminal activities. This master's thesis aims to reveal, through documentation, analysis, and interpretation of rumors, contemporary legends, memorates, and other collectively spread narratives related to the 1990s, the influence of these local narratives on the shaping of the identity of the inhabitants of Příbram and its surroundings. This will be done by taking into account the context of the historical development of the Příbram region. Firstly, the thesis raises the question of whether the industrial history of this area and its subsequent notorious association with criminal events have a diachronic connection to the creation of the current identity and how the dynamic relationship between the "mining" and "mafia" collective identity of Příbram works. Furthermore, the most commonly occurring collective narratives, which form an integral part of the identity of the inhabitants of Příbram and its surroundings, are analyzed in detail, including their attitudes towards them. The method of data documentation includes semi- structured interviews, narrative interviews, and archival...
