Internet governance in Putin's Russia - a long term perspective
Novák, Adam ; Solovyeva, Anzhelika (advisor) ; Střítecký, Vít (referee)
Master's thesis abstract Internet Governance in Putin's Russia - a long-term perspective This longitudinal case study is dedicated to the analysis of the development behind Russia's approach to Internet governance. By qualitatively researching the development of the Kremlin's approach to Internet governance, this thesis aims to capture the learning process behind regulating the cyberspace in Russia. As such, the aim is to understand what kind of events have shaped its perception of how Internet and the underpinning infrastructure should be approached to increase the regime's stability. Building on the concepts of digital authoritarianism and authoritarian learning and by understanding learning as a long-term process with turning points, this thesis aims to answer these research questions. How does Russia's digital authoritarianism manifest? Which events, both domestic and international, hastened the pace and intensity of cyberspace regulation in Russia? Can we identify a learning process behind Russia's long-term approach towards Internet regulation? For these ends, the turning points refer to events after which we can identify a change in the perception of Internet governance and/or intensification in controlling the online information space. As such, with the help of periodization, the thesis traces the...

Microplastics and plastics from a legal perspective
Novák, Adam ; Damohorský, Milan (advisor) ; Fiala, Zdeněk (referee) ; Průchová, Ivana (referee)
Microplastics and plastics from a legal perspective Abstract The dissertation deals with the management of microplastics from a legal point of view, following the ever-increasing pollution of the environment by plastics. The issue of microplastics has not yet been dealt with at this level in the Czech environment. The dissertation is not aiming only at the management of primary microplastics, which is most often dealt with by existing legislation at the level of individual states, but also at the management of secondary microplastics, which have been so far legally dealt with only by indirect regulation (through limiting plastic waste as a source of this type microplastics). The aim of the work is primarily to create an overview of the existing legislation of the management of microplastics at the international and European level (including individual legislation of the EU member states). Based on this overview is made an analysis of this legislation and are formulated proposals and recommendations for improving the management of microplastics, especially to limit their release into the environment. The dissertation is divided into nine chapters: The first chapter is the introduction, in which the grasp of the topic, research questions and the structure of the work, including the methods used, are...

Russian reactions to"colour revolutions"
Novák, Adam ; Slačálek, Ondřej (advisor) ; Soušková, Tereza (referee)
This case study is dedicated to the Russian counter-revolutionary policies that were developed in response to the heavily supported democracy promotion by the western countries and the so- called colour revolutions in Russia's near abroad, being Rose revolution in Georgia, Orange revolution in Ukraine and Tulip revolution in Kyrgyzstan. Why did these events invoke the need to create a patriotic civil society inside Putin's regime? What tools were used to create such patriotic civil society? In this context, the thesis considers the role of political technologists Gleb Pavlovsky and Vladislav Surkov, the main engineers of counter-revolutionary policies and authors of the sovereign democracy concept. The thesis will analyse the role of the government organised youth movement Nashi that developed an anti-fascist discourse based on sovereign democracy. I connect the concept of civil society with thoughts of political philosophers such as John Locke, Thomas Paine, Robert Putnam and Alexis de Tocqueville who associated the civil society concept with certain civic virtues. Petr Kopecký and Cas Mudde provide the theoretical framework to classify the concept of ‚uncivil society'. Finally, the youth movement Nashi is classified based on criteria associated with ‚civil' and ‚uncivil' society. Key words: colour...

Design of a Robotic Cell for Depalletization and Placement a Rail to a Production Station
Novák, Adam ; Kubela, Tomáš (referee) ; Pochylý, Aleš (advisor)
The diploma thesis dealswith a design of a robotic cell for depalletization and the establishment of a rail into a production station. Pieces are weighed into the depalletizing unit in a shape-adapted crates otherwise known as blisters. Each blister contains five to eight pieces(depending on the type of a rail) and anti-corrosion paper. After removing the paper and the piece from the blister, an identification code is stamped on the piece. Then the finished piece travels to the next station. The aim of this thesis is to design arobotic cell that can handle all operations in a given cycle time and to create a simulation model in Siemens Process Simulate program to verify the cell functionality.

Software interface for database files
Novák, Adam ; Boštík, Ondřej (referee) ; Uher, Miroslav (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with the way how to access database files with the extension (* .shk), (* .sin) and (* .rau) based on Microsoft Acces 2.0. Document these files and create a software interface. The interface creates the given types of database files. Uploads measurement settings to RMS device measurement files. After the measurement, it extracts data from the database, which can then be further evaluated.

Legislation of shipment of waste in European union
Novák, Adam ; Sobotka, Michal (advisor) ; Derlich, Stanislav (referee)
in English A shipment of waste in European Union is really important part of the waste economy. A need of its control raised with the free movement of goods in the EU, because the unlimited shipment of waste would lead to irreplaceable damage on the environment. Regulaton No. 1013/2006, which is the most important document in this area, had to be properly adapted, that it could be its applicaton secured. The main topic of my thesis is just not only the analysis of the Regulaton No. 1013/2006, but also the comparison of its adaptaton in the Czech Republic and Germany.

Numerical Integrators in Control Theory
Novák, Adam ; Veigend, Petr (referee) ; Šátek, Václav (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deal with the topic of partial differential equations of parallel solutions from focus on control of dynamic systems working with real-time built-in control model. First, it is focused on real-time systems. The next section deals with the analysis of differential equations and types of differential equations. Consequently, numerical integration and derivation are discussed. The thesis deals with individual numerical methods, which are used to calculate a differential equations. This thesis also deals with individual fluids that can influence the calculation of differencial equations in the Modern Taylor method. The result is a competitive application that allows a quick and accurate solution of real-time management model and the subsequent calculation of the differential equations generated using the Modern Taylor Series Method.
