Adaptation of seniors when entering the residential service of a retirement home
FRANK, Jakub
The bachelor thesis deals with the issue of aging and adaptation of elderly people during the transition to a residential facility for the elderly. The theoretical part of the thesis focuses on the definition of terms, characteristics and problematic aspects related to ageing. In the following chapters, the thesis deals with the social environment, social care, highlights the goals and priorities of geriatric care, deals with the quality of life of the elderly and identifies factors affecting this quality, including preparation for old age. Emphasis is placed on the factors supporting the adaptation of seniors in residential services for the elderly and the possibilities of adaptation through activation activities. The aim of the study was to find out what factors help seniors in the adaptation process when entering a residential service home for the elderly and to what extent the adaptation process during the transition from the home environment to a home for the elderly affects the successful adaptation to the satisfaction of the elderly. In the research part, a quantitative research strategy conducted by interviewing technique is used. The main factors of adaptation are investigated when entering a residential service for the elderly home and their influence on the change in the elderly's behaviour as a result of the change in social environment and established habits is also examined. A 29 questionnaire is used to obtain information on the aforementioned factors, which was administered to 120 elderly home users. Based on the research, it was found that the factors influencing the adaptation process of seniors when entering a home for the elderly can be very diverse and depend on many aspects, including the individual personality traits of the elderly, the conditions and environment of the home for the elderly itself, as well as support from the family and social environment. This paper contributes to a better understanding of the adaptation process and provides suggestions on how to facilitate the adaptation process.

Sound installation
Vacek, Lukáš ; Frank, Jakub (referee) ; Ambrůz, Jan (advisor)
In my bachelor thesis, I tried to evaluate my experience with working with sound, vibrations and the way they spread through different types of material. Examine the characteristics of the material and its properties through a minimalist form and through a targeted reduction of the vibrations themselves, while observing how they affect human perception. The fundamental concept of the installation is derived from this relationship. I am fascinated by how vibration and sound in space can create a situation that engulfs the viewer. The significance and the symbolism of this correlation, i.e. the ability of sound to create, distort and transform space and the way humans perceive this action is the main concept of my bachelor thesis. The vibrations represent the constant movement, change and uncertainty that are key aspects of this installation, but also of human existence and its perception. The scenographic nature of the artwork illustrates and alters the space around it with its audiovisual features, giving the impression of its own imaginary architecture. This creates a dynamic dialogue between the objects, which mutually vibrate and resonate through connections between the space and the audience.

The Role of New Media in Museum Presentation
Wančová, Nina ; Stehlík, Michal (advisor) ; Frank, Jiří (referee) ; Grulich, Petr (referee)
Museums are traditional and collection based cultural institutions. From the very beginning of the 20th century the established approaches in museums have been continuously challenged by social and technological changes. New topics including modernization are newly in the centre of interest. The dissertation examines use of technologies and new media ideas as the starting point of complex museum modernization while keeping the use appropriate and meaningful for museum content. There are three main areas where new media are used in museums: 1. museum presentation, 2. visitor engagement, 3. online communication and PR. The main method used to examine the current state of using new media in Czech museums was quantitative research with surveys. With regard to the dynamic development in the area of the research surveys were conducted longitudinally in 2015 and in 2020. This approach helped to capture more complex reality, including changes and trends in time. Respondents are museum employees from 358 institutions. The use of new media for museum displays increased significantly, while less than a half of the museums launched an online exhibition project. Almost all museums are offering accompanying programs and more than 80 % also offer game activities. The amount of museums which are not online at all...

Oyster bioherms in the Bohemian Cretaceous Basin
Rantuch, Jakub ; Košťák, Martin (advisor) ; Frank, Jiří (referee)
Frustration from shape and size variability of oyster's species Rhynchostreon suborbiculatum (Lamarck) is long known phenomenon. In current state of his systematic it is not possible to consider it fully satisfying. Is it is shown in study of genus Gryphaea by Jones and Gould (1999), that application of modern analytical methods, undoubtly lightens long-darkned places of evolution process. Idea of Videt and Neraudeau (2003), that shape variability of Rhynchostreon suborbiculatum (Lamarck) probably also mirrors heterochronic processes, introduces inspirative and good foundation for future research in this field. Occurence of this oyster is proved from huge range of sites in Bohemian Cretaceous Basin area. It is combination of rich occurance, unique preservation and variability of lithological settings, which gives us unique starting point for next step to solve significant problem. Based on population analyses consisting of biometrical studies supported by oxygen isotope analyses, in future, it will be possible to reach sufficient conclusions of this issue, and progress in our knowledge.
