Role-playing in massive multiplayer online games
Mikoláš, Michal ; Tuček, Milan (advisor) ; Buchtík, Martin (referee)
The author deals with MMORPGs, a special computer game genre. MMORPGs are designed to host simultaneous playing of a large number of people. The key topic is role- playing, which occurs when the players accept a fictional role connected with their avatar. The text also includes description of the terms avatar, guilds, synthetic worlds, games and online games. The basic premise of this theoretically oriented work is that role-playing is not a homogenous issue and takes different forms as a result of the server/guild game style choice. The author collected data in World of Warcraft game environment. He created an avatar which helped him to observe actions of others while taking "field notes" and recording the chat communication of the players. The author compared data recorded while playing in two differently oriented guilds, which helped to create and describe basic definitions and forms of role-playing in online games.

Women in Motorsport - Decoration? Competition?
Mikoláš, Michal ; Tuček, Milan (advisor) ; Kuchař, Pavel (referee)
This thesis deals with the issue of gender equality in motorsport. It aims to carry out two main tasks. The first is based on description and explanation of the current position of female racers in motorsport (are they considered a regular part of motorsport and do they constitute a competition for male racers, or are they just decorative anomalies?). Motorsport is one of the very few mixed sports. The second task is to answer the question whether it would be useful to establish separated women-only categories, which might attract more racers. The thesis consists of two key parts. The explanatory section of this text presents a theoretical explanation of the contemporary situation (using the theory of the lenses of gender). The empirical part is derived from expert interviews and interviews with top Czech female racers. The conclusion of the thesis is a compilation of findings provided by both parts of the text. The essential result is the need to preserve mixed competition which would be free of socio-cultural barriers which hinder the beginnings of women in motorsport.

Process model of information system maintenance
Pavlas, Petr ; Pícka, Marek (advisor) ; Mikoláš, Mikoláš (referee)
The thesis is dedicated to the modeling of processes related to the operation of information systems.
The theoretical part deals with the operation of information systems in the context of the general methodology for IT services and procedural framework ITIL for service management in IT services. The following part focuses on overview of the basic principles for process modeling and brief characteristics of selected modeling methodologies and notations.
Theoretical assumptions are applied in the practical part of the thesis, in which BPMN notation through using the software tool ARIS Express are assembled general models of identified key processes associated with the operation of an information system according to the procedural framework ITIL.

Porting of Prawn Library from Ruby to Python 3
Molhanec, Michal ; Pícka, Marek (advisor) ; Mikoláš, Mikoláš (referee)
This work focuses on automatic translation of code written in Ruby programming language into Python 3. First part investigates principles of computer programming languages translation as is described in the literature. Second part compares elements of these two programming languages and suggests ways how these elements can be translated.
Based on this theory I developed Ruby-to-Python translator. Its working is demonstrated on the translation of the Prawn library for generating PDF files.

Choosing a Linux distribution for file server
Paznocht, Jiří ; Pícka, Marek (advisor) ; Mikoláš, Mikoláš (referee)
Goal of this thesis named "Choosing a Linux server for file server" is to find out optimal distribution of Linux for this server. In theoretical part we will be introduced with project GNL/Linux, with his history and architecture of core. Next we will describe problemation of operating systems as them own and their functions. Main thesis characterize each of one distributions. After selecting the various criteria by which it will be made selection are assigned to these criteria, the value of each entering variants. Selection is made by the multiple criteria analysis method. In thesis is used method summary of weight. For correct process of this method have to be input file edited to normalized file and every criterions have to be rated by weights. For intend weights is use Saaty's method. In end of thesis are implemented and conclusions results of conducted analysis.

Linux Network Security
Mruzek, Filip ; Pícka, Marek (advisor) ; Mikoláš, Mikoláš (referee)
Summary
My bachelory work will be occupied with Linux operating system, which is one of the most using systems nowadays. Specifically of distribution Ubuntu. First part of bachelory work consists of teoretical way outs. These way-outs were drawed inspiration from specialized literature and electronic sources which includes information about mention operating systém. Second part is dedicated in detail to network communication in protocol TCP/IP which is base of communication in the Internet and generally in computer network. Next part is defined issues of Netfilter framework and their currently possibilities in Linux operating systém. Last part of teoretical way-outs is dedicated to short introduction of Java programming language.
Practical part describes application which is able to execute commands of user space tool called iptables. Conclusion of this work is analysis of created application and its possibilities of using.

Configuring Linux Mail Server
Babický, Karel ; Pícka, Marek (advisor) ; Mikoláš, Mikoláš (referee)
The aim was to configure a Linux mail server, which should serve as a complement to web hosting, therefore should be able to serve multiple domains at once. The next task was to test the server base.
The theoretical part explained how email works, describes the steps that occur from sending to receiving message. They described the various components of the mail server. Furthermore the most important protocols have been described, what purpose they have, how they work and at which ports they operate.
In the practical part was at first selected a suitable solution mail server. Postfix server and additional necessary components were chosen eventually. Dovecot was installed to manage mailboxes and IMAP implementation. ClamAV antivirus and antispam BitDefender were installed as protection. Step-by-step changes in the setting were described. The solution has been tested for security.

Mikoláš, Martin ; Brůna, Karel (advisor) ; Šíma, Ondřej (referee)
The thesis examines foreign currency (FX) loans in Hungary and tries to compare them to leverage investment strategy known as carry trade. FX loans in Hungary after 2003 enjoyed great development, but only until the outbreak of the global financial crisis in 2008, which fully revealed the negatives associated with this type of financing, which resulted in a threat to the stability of the whole financial sector in the country. This thesis describes the situation in Hungary and examines the consequences connected with mass development of FX loans. There is an analysis of the currency crisis in 2008 as a part of the thesis. At the same time, the thesis aims to analyze the causes that were behind the unusually rapid growth of FX loans. The factors are divided on the demand and supply motivated factors.
