Analysis of Jan Ryba's Selected Musical Works for Choir
Křivková, Ludmila ; Stříteská, Leona (advisor) ; Procházka, Karel Jan (referee)
This diploma thesis called "The analysis of selected choral compositions by Jakub Jan Ryba" deals primarily with his religious works. The introductory chapter briefly describes Ryba's journey to music and the activity of a composer and the text is also based on Ryba's own biography published in 2005 titled My Life and Music. The thesis concerns an extant autographic list of his works dated to 1801 and an autographic fragment of an incipit catalogue of compositions dated from 1774 to 1796 including an incipit of Czech Christmas Mass "Hey, Master!" dated back to 1795. Both lists were compared with two electronic music databases: the catalogue of the department of music history, National Museum - the Czech Museum of Music and the musical incipit catalogue of the National Library of the Czech Republic. The electronic databases were further compared with the thematic catalogue which is a part of the monography titled Jakub Jan Ryba published in 1963. The object of interest was also the quantity of autographs and transcripts and the prints of the works by Jakub Jan Ryba which have been issued from the beginning of the 19th century till present. Regarding the results of the research, it was proved that only a part of Ryba's work has survived up till now since Ryba himself presents 1083 compositions, both...
The European Union and the adoption of the Stabilization and Association Agreement with Kosovo: the role of material interests and shared ideas
Procházka, Karel ; Karlas, Jan (advisor) ; Kučerová, Irah (referee)
The thesis seeks to examine the underlying motivations behind the conclusion of the Stability and Association Agreement between European Union and Kosovo on the 27th of October 2015. To determine the role of material interests and shared ideas in the process of concluding the SAA the thesis discusses and applies rationalism and constructivism, both grand theories of international relations. To test the theories and their respective hypotheses identifying the role of the relevant concepts, the research employs a single case study method, using a congruence analysis approach. In conclusion, through the rationalist lens within the perspective of the EU, the thesis confirms the existence of material interest in the conclusion of the SAA, representing security, power and economic gains. To complement the analysis via a constructivist lens within the perspective of Kosovo, the thesis solely implies a limited role of identity and norms while it points out that such constructivist concepts rather impeded the reaching of the SAA, veiling the actual role of material interest.
The pieces of the church musical collection from the town Smečno for not liturgic Czech and Latin texts in 18th century
Procházka, Karel ; Slavický, Tomáš (advisor) ; Kapsa, Václav (referee)
The aim of this diploma work is to introduce the forgotten developed music culture of the town of Smečno of 18 th century. The study concerns the music collection of the Holy Trinity Church in Smečno and it is focused on non-liturgical compositions from 18 th century. The results are divided into three parts: the first one considers the origin of the collection in the historical context of the region around the town of Kladno, the town of Smečno and the Holy Trinity Church. The second one deals with the music collection alone - its content, author's profile, period changes, exceptional pieces of music, the work of František Mensi ( the chaplain and priest of Smečno) and the analysis of selected compositions. The third part describes current events of the choir loft of the church in Smečno. For example, the revival of premieres of the Smečno choir loft music or the Smečno Organ Festival played on the oldest organ in Central Europe dating back to 1587.

Kopička, Marek ; Máslo, Karel (referee) ; Procházka, Karel (referee) ; Eleschová, Žaneta (referee) ; Drápela, Jiří (advisor)
The dissertation thesis deals with the design of the concept and implementation of models of electrical power system elements with regard to the potential of the use of computer programs – simulations. The solution of the thesis focuses on the compliance simulations of power-generating modules according to RfG (Requirements for Generators), as a document which setting out the requirements for the connection of power-generating facilities and also focuses on the issue of smart grids and MAS (Multi-Agent Systems) respectively. The framework of the thesis is thus defined by the area of requirements for power-generating modules according to legislative requirements (not only RfG, but also related standards incl. DSC (Distribution System Code), CSN EN 50438 and CSN EN 50549), requirements for agent functionalities and power-generating module abilities to operate in synchronous and island operation, including transitions between them, the process of synchronization (phasing) and communication between the individual elements of the power system.
The study of the self- and co-assembly of block copolymers and block polyelectrolytes
Raya, Rahul Kumar ; Procházka, Karel (advisor) ; Štěpánek, Petr (referee) ; Šachl, Radek (referee)
The Thesis describe my studies based on self-assembly and co-assembly of block copolymer micelles that I conducted at the Department of Physical and Macro- molecular Chemistry at the Charles University, Prague in the research group of my supervisor, Prof. Dr. Karel Procházka, DrSc. The Thesis based on my publications and consists of four parts. Here I studied the formation of polymeric nanoparticles in aqueous solutions formed by polyelectrolytes with hydrophobic backbones by a combination of several experimental methods. The achieved results enabled me to explain the structure and properties of studied self- and co-assembled nanoparticles and to outline the decisive trends of their behavior. The spontaneous formation, sol- ubility and stability of complex nanoparticles depend not only on the electrostatic attractive forces but also on the hydrophobic effects. As the enthalpy-to-entropy interplay is very complex, a number of external factors such as temperature, pH, salinity and concentration affect the assembling process and structure of formed nanoparticles. 1

Probabilistic Approach for Assessment of Earthing System Design
Vyčítal, Václav ; Gurecký, Jiří (referee) ; Procházka, Karel (referee) ; Toman, Petr (advisor)
This dissertation thesis deals with application of probabilistic approach to assessment of earthing system safety in distribution networks, especially for cases with common earthing of high and low voltage side of distribution transformers HV/LV. In these cases, the increased potential during fault might be transferred from high voltage to low voltage network and thus the individuals from public can be exposed to increased risk. Thus, for these cases were in this thesis defined expectable touch scenarios together with the resulting risk imposed on individuals from the public. Based on the results it seems that adoption of probabilistic approach for these cases of earthing systems might be more suitable compared to the conventional deterministic worst case approach. In accordance to the aims of the thesis, a thorough analysis of currently adopted probabilistic approaches was carried out as well and it was pointed out to some new possible simplifications in the adopted probabilistic based methodologies. For example, it seems that appropriate modelling of human body resistance by the full lognormal distribution is not completely necessary and similar results can be obtained when only the resistance for 50 % of population together with c3 and c4 fibrillation curves are used. Much of the work was also devoted to the determination of possible uncertainty of calculated risk of evaluated earthing system, especially due to inappropriate modelling of earthing system. The appropriateness of different earthing system modelling methods together with other parameters on the value of calculated risk was investigated through conducting sensitivity analysis. Based on the analysis results it seems, that due to using more, or less simplified modelling method, a possible underrating in the resulting risk of about 40 % (about half an order/decade) is expectable. On the other hand, the change of parameters related directly to calculation of fibrillation probability seems to exhibit greater change in calculated risk by up to units of orders/decades.

Self-assembly of polymers with amphiphilic compounds (surfactants) in aqueous solutions
Delisavva, Foteini ; Procházka, Karel (advisor) ; Štěpánek, Petr (referee) ; Pánek, Jiří (referee)
Title: Self-assembly of polymers with amphiphilic compounds (surfactants) in aqueous solutions Abstract: This PhD Thesis is devoted to the co-assembly in systems containing electrically charged polymers (polyelectrolytes and block copolymers containing polyelectrolyte sequences). I studied the interactions between block copolymers and oppositely charged surfactants in aqueous solutions, and the structure and properties of co-assembled nanoparticles by a combination of several experimental methods. I found that the spontaneous formation, solubility and stability of complex nanoparticles depend not only on the electrostatic attractive forces but also on the hydrophobic effects. In a major part of my Thesis, I studied the interaction of polyelectrolytes with oppositely charged gemini surfactants (containing two charged head-groups interconnected by a short linker and two hydrophobic tails) which is a relatively new topic - much less studied than the co-assembly with conventional single tail surfactants. Better understanding of the formation and properties of complexes containing gemini surfactants and polymers provides knowledge that should lead to novel tailor-made nanoparticles with desired properties for applications in medicine and new technologies (including nano-technologies). We have shown that the...
