Control algorithms for autonomous embodied agents
Slušný, Stanislav ; Neruda, Roman (advisor) ; Kvasnička, Vladimír (referee) ; Koutník, Jan (referee)
Charles University in Prague Faculty of Mathematics and Physics DOCTORAL THESIS Mgr. Stanislav Slušný Control algorithms for autonomous embodied agents Department of Software Engineering Supervisor of the doctoral thesis: Mgr. Roman Neruda, CSc. Study programme: Computer Science Specialization: Software Engineering Prague 2014 Title: Control algorithms for autonomous embodied agents Author: Mgr. Stanislav Slušný Department: Department of Software Engineering, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University, Prague Supervisor: Mgr. Roman Neruda, CSc., Institute of Computer Science, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Prague Abstract: This work studies control algorithms for adaptive embodied agents. The available approaches, based on neural networks, genetic algorithms and re- inforcement learning are investigated and potential improvements suggested. Ar- chitecture of adaptive embodied autonomous agents, that combines the existing reactive and deliberative paradigms, is proposed and demonstrated in a realistic simulator solving a complex real world task. The performance of a novel high-level planner based on constraint programming and finite automata is demonstrated on a practical application.

Energy policy of the EU towards Russia: 2000-2013
Koutník, Jan ; Litera, Bohuslav (advisor) ; Svoboda, Karel (referee)
The interdependence of the EU and Russia in the energy sector led to the establishment of "EU-Russia Energy Dialogue" in 2000. Since its formation the Dialogue had to face various external influences, including two Russia-Ukraine gas disputes in 2006 and 2009 during which the gas supplies to the EU were interrupted. The Bachelor's thesis examines, how the Dialogue answered to the consequences of the gas crises. Firstly this paper analyses the development of the Dialogue between 2000 and 2013, as well as the impacts of the two crises. The reactions of the Dialogue to the crises are presented by the comparison of the Dialogues work before and after they occurred. The author concludes that although there were some responses, EU and Russia didn't manage to sufficiently resolve the most challenging issues, including the ongoing problems with the transit states and the energy infrastructure security.

Non-Systemic Opposition in Russia 2011-2016
Koutník, Jan ; Svoboda, Karel (advisor) ; Šír, Jan (referee)
The diploma thesis examines why did the non-systemic opposition in Russia between 2011 and 2016 fail to reach any significant success. Even though during 2011 and 2012 Russia witnessed mass anti- government protests the non-systemic opposition was not able to enforce any relevant change in the regime, obtain representation in the state institutions or induce larger public dissatisfaction with the regime. The study analyses problematic internal features of the non-systemic opposition (lack of public support, coalition potential, election programs and campaigns, party financing) and external repressive means of the Vladimir Putin's regime against the opposition (legislation, direct confrontation, judicial trials, elections and means of rigging). The thesis offers a complex insight into the functioning of the non-systemic opposition in Russia in the observed period and accentuates the authoritarian character of the Russian regime. Based on the evaluation of the key variables the study concludes that the repressive policies of the regime cardinally affected the weakness and fragmentation of the non-systemic opposition which moreover was not able to overcome the internal conflicts and gain broader public support.

General and special performance of members of athletic sports centres
Tuček, Jonáš ; Vindušková, Jitka (advisor) ; Koutník, Jan (referee)
Title: General and special performance of members of athletic sports centres Objectives: The primary aim of the thesis is to evaluate the general physical performance of 14-year-old and 15-year-old members of sports centres from 2018 and compare whether it is better than it was in 2012 and 2015. The secondary aim is to determine whether the general performance of athletes corresponds to special performance in the race. Methods: The first part of the thesis is a literary search, which represents a theoretical framework of the topic. The second, main part of the thesis is practical. Initially, the data of the examined group provided by the Czech athletic federation, Department of Youth, were statistically processed. Subsequently, the characteristics of the statistical population in 2018 were compared with the years 2012 and 2015. Based on factual data search, a comparison of general and special performance of selected sports centre members was drawn. Finally, the validity of the hypotheses was verified. Results: A comparison of testing results of sport centres members from 2018 with 2012 and 2015 proved that the general physical performance of 14-year-old and 15-year-old members is increasing year-on-year. In 2018, athletes achieved better average results in all four motor tests: a 50-meter run from...

The Party Discipline of the State Duma Deputies after the Mixed-Member Electoral System Renewal
Vřešťálová, Dominika ; Svoboda, Karel (advisor) ; Koutník, Jan (referee)
The study examines the level of party voting discipline displayed by current Russian deputies. The objective is to discover whether deputies elected since the reintroduction of the mixed-member electoral system in 2016 showed a diverse level of party voting discipline. The study expands on the existing research and verifies results of earlier analysis proving weaker party discipline among politicians elected from single-member districts (SMDs). A sample of over 500 thousand deputy votes is analyzed with multiple regression analysis and other methods of quantitative research. The research explores the influence of several variables including the type of elections, political faction membership, double candidacy of a deputy and his incumbency in the previous term of office. Evaluation of results implies that the type of elections does not have a significant impact on party discipline of deputies. The most noticeable is the impact of the membership in various political factions. Greater independence in voting typical for SMD deputies does not manifest considerably in Russia because of the impact of the local hybrid regime and because the majority of SMD deputies belong to the faction of United Russia. Members of a faction with such importance tend to be less motivated to vote against their political...
