Building-up of the staging structure
Vokoun, Martin ; Burian, Jan (advisor) ; Schejbal, Milan (referee)
In my diploma work, I would like to mention my own view ont the bulding-up of the staging. It is rising from my experiences in the making of several inscenations. Espesially I would like to risng from my graduate inscenation ?Don Juan? in Disk theatre (Prague, 2006). Further I will mention inscenations ?As you like it? (Theatre of conservatory, Pratur 2007) and ?The dog of the gardener? (Theatre of J.K.Tyl, Plzeň 2008). My aim is describe particular components, which are taking a share on the creation of whole inscenation and in this way are building-up the staging structure.

THE DRAMATIZATION OF A PROSAIC TEXT WITH RESPECT TO ITS CONCRETE STAGING
Vrbková, Jitka ; Kudláčková, Jana (advisor) ; Burian, Jan (referee)
This thesis deals with the dramatization of the fairy-tale "The Little Mermaid" by Hans Christian Andersen created for a bachelor performance. It regards fairy-tale as a literal genre and investigates its possibilities of a dramatic elaboration. It considers Andersen's Little Mermaid as an untraditional fairy-tale and investigates its transfer into a dramatic text. It reflects the development of the dramatization of Andersen's fairy-tale, which was changing all the time during the rehearsals with actors, and the development of practising the performance as well. An analysis aims to answer the questions: What can be transfered from a prosaic text into a dramatic one? What can be transfered from a dramatic text onto the stage? The thesis intends to evaluate the created dramatic text and the form of the performance and explain the reasons for a success or a failure.

SPECIFICS OF COOPERATION BETWEEN A DIRECTOR AND AN ACTOR DURING THE CREATION OF A DRAMATIC CHARACTER
Ludvíková, Tereza ; Korčák, Jakub (advisor) ; Burian, Jan (referee)
This thesis is based on a reflection of the rehearsing of the performance Carmencita. It is divided in two parts. The first part deals with the concept of the director. The main themes of the performance are: passion, order, fate and conciliation. It defenses prominent position of the narration in the performance. The narration gives to the main character the possibility of reflection and testimony. The second part deals with the process of the rehearsing and with the cooperation between the director and actors. It compares the director´s idea of the characters with the achieved results. The author finds out the importance of willingness of an actor to extend beyond the borders of his civile nature for a successful creative work.

Reactive Multi-agent models in economics
Burian, Jan ; Pstružina, Karel (advisor) ; Berka, Petr (referee) ; Pospíchal, Jiří (referee)
Multi-agent models are software models of real systems, which are compounded of a large amount of active autonomous units -- agents. The main theme of this study is the application of multi-agent models in economics. In the first part of this study I synthesized information from many sources and created a proposal of methodology of multi-agent modeling in social sciences. This methodology is illustrated by a detailed analysis of a well-known model of ethnocentric behavior. I focused on the issue of complexity a self-organization a observed the development of different kinds of structural complexity. Another important issue I'm dealing with is the relation between multi-agent models and analytical models used by the mainstream economy The second part contains three applications of multi-agent models in economy. All described models are research models -- the aim is to get insight into the fundamental laws controlling the dynamics of the system. Research models should be as simple as possible -- than we can understand how the behavior of the system is resulting from the interaction of agents. All models represent an alternative to some typical economic situation. The alternative consists mainly in abandoning of the assumption of full rationality of agents. I focused on models with reactive agents, which don't dispose any memory (or only an indirect form of memory) and have no ability of complex symbolical representation of the environment. Reactivity of agents doesn't necessarily mean an unwanted limitation. It could be properly used to model different kinds of bounded rationality. The model of transaction costs on financial markets is based on another model, which showed how the instability of the financial market could result from interactions of agents with bounded rationality. The instability of the financial markets contradicts the Effective Markets Hypothesis. I modified and extended this model with the mechanism of transaction cost. The model shows that higher transaction costs lead to greater stability of the market, they decrease the volume of trade and to some extent they can increase the efficiency of the modeled market. The model of evolution of aversion to risk and ambiguity is inspired by psychological and neurological experiments whose results contradict the Expected Utility Hypothesis. Model shows that there exists very simple mechanism which leads to evolution of risk and ambiguity aversion. This aversion evolves because of situations when the agent can repeatedly decide between two choices, one brings him low but risk free utility, second brings him higher utility which involves the risk that the agent will lose its ability to get any utility in the future (e.g. it will die). The model shows that sexual reproduction strengthens this mechanism. If this mechanism has also evolved in humans, it can influence their behavior and lead to "irrational" behavior contradicting the Expected utility hypothesis. The model of monopsony on the labor market analyses the situation in which the employer could cut the wages to the existential minimum of workers. In such a case are the workers paradoxically to increase the labor supply when the wages are decreasing. The model further analyses the influence of consumer loans on the profit of the employer, unemployment and welfare. The model shows that the increasing of the probability of consumer loans increases the profits, increases unemployment, decreases well-fare and in some situations it enables the employer to decrease the wages to the existential minimum. The model also suggests that for very low wages the decrease of minimum wage could lead to increase of unemployment. From the results recommendations could be obtained both for the profit maximizing employer and for the workers resisting the wage cuts.

Modelling impacts of minimal quality standards and protection against misleading advertising on consumers’ utility
Chaloupka, Jan ; Burian, Jan (advisor) ; Řepa, Václav (referee)
In this thesis we explore the importance of consumer protection (concretely protection against misleading advertising and minimal quality standards of product) for providing consumers' utility. Our target is to discover whether these protections are necessary for providing consumers' utility or not, and whether are the consumers able to provide themselves equal or higher utility (then can mentioned protections do), scilicet through their mutual communication and buying behavior. Furthermore, we want to discover, if can happen a situation in which the mentioned protection decline the consumers' utility, in comparison with situation, when no protections exist. These conclusions are stated for concrete product (LCD TV) and concrete society (little community within the Czech Republic society), whereas we explore the influence of consumer protection both on utility of whole community and on utility of each social class within different proportions of these classes within society. For this research has been created an original multi-agent model, in which we simulate consumer behavior and companies behavior on market. The important parts of the model architecture are presented in this thesis: principles of social structure creation (based on the knowledge about social groups and different types of social ties), buyer behavior and principles of consumer communication through social network, and decision of companies about product characteristics. In conclusion we have interpreted the simulation results and have stated an importance of consumer protection in tested society buying tested product.

Agent based models of financial markets - rationality and social networks
Popadinec, Martin ; Burian, Jan (advisor) ; Berka, Petr (referee)
In the thesis we focus on involving Agent-based models in modeling financial markets. In Agent-based models of economical systems, often called Agent-based computational economics (ACE), market price is established by actions and interactions of autonomous agents using heuristics or simple decision-making rules. This approach to modeling of financial markets provide us with better understanding of establishing market price then aggregate economical models which focuses exclusively on societally "optimal" equilibria assuming that they are achieved by informed and rational behavior of people. The thesis consists of two main parts. The first one, theoretical, is an introduction to agent based modeling, bounded rationality and social network Our concern in the second part of the thesis is a model of volatility on financial markets. This model is interesting example of agent based approach to creating economical models. However it contains some non-realistic assumption from which the most controversial is the space where agents interacts -- two dimensional lattice. In this part of the work the model is converted from two dimensional lattice to the networks which better corresponds to real social networks but we also experiment with another extension of the agent's decision-making function. The intended outcome of the work is verifying the quality of the model, to learn the effect of our model extensions on price volatility, overview of attributes of the particular networks and discussion whether such models could provide some valuable information to the economist which are interested in financial markets.

Modeling projects work
Sekerka, Radko ; Burian, Jan (advisor) ; Kvasnička, Michal (referee)
In this thesis we present model of the human work process on projects using multi-agent model. Within the project management plan is carried out comparisons with the fact not only in the context of subsequent checks, but also in the course of the project. One of the most item is cost of human resources. To increase efficiency and control over the actual cost to introducing a range of organizations link the accounting system to a system of reporting work. Such a system registry of the work is not only complex, but also demanding in terms of managing the time gap between the creation of estimates and their own work. In general, there may be several variants of complications such as delay work on the project because of inaccurate estimates of job performance and therefore insufficient funds in the accounts sections and stages of the project. The aim of this work is to find the characteristics of such projects for which this system work. In the first part we are addressed basic theoretical assumptions for modeling work in the field of project management and multi-agent modeling. Next part relates to the creation of multi-agent model, including detailed characteristics and verification. At the end of this research are described a several experiments with the model and analysis results.
