Yugoslavian phantom identity
Nandi, Danijela ; Hájek, Martin (advisor) ; Spalová, Barbora (referee)
Výzkumné téma diplomové práce vychází z medicínského pojmu známého jako "fantomová bolest". Definice na webu Mayo Clinic uvádí, že "fantomová bolest je bolest, která je pociťována, jako by vycházela z části těla, která již neexistuje. Lékaři kdysi věřili, že tento post- amputační fenomén je psychologického rázu, v dnešní době nicméně odborníci mají za to, že jde o skutečné pocity pocházející z míchy a mozku. (Mayo Clinic, n.d.). Předkládaná práce zkoumá ideu "fantomové identity" konceptualizovanou jako identitu, se kterou se mohou ztotožňovat nebo ji jako takovou vyjadřovat obyvatelé již neexistující země - Jugoslávie. Klíčovouotázkou je,zda vůbec existuje něco takového jako společná identita bývalého společného státu, která by byla odlišná od etnických a jiných post-jugoslávských identit. A dále pak, jak vlastně tento proces identifikace funguje a jaké jsou jeho základní element. Práce zkoumá možnost existence takové společné identity nebo jejích prvků, které by se projevovaly pouze (a specifickým způsobem), když jsou tito jedinci spolu, obvykle v kontextu společenských aktivit nebo sdílené emigrační zkušenosti. Hledání identity založené na etnických principech, jako je jazyk či území, identity odlišné od ostatních identit, a to i v rámci jednotlivců různých etnik, je v jistém smyslu provokativní...

Pandemic: about war, oppression and other metaphors
Tikal, Matěj ; Dvořák, Tomáš (advisor) ; Hájek, Martin (referee)
This thesis is based on analysis of metaphors, that were used by Czech political elite to construct meaning of Covid-19 pandemic and its implications for Czech society. Pandemic is firstly described as political problem and selected literature is used to describe pandemic discourse. Next, notion of social constructivism and conceptual theory of metaphors are introduced. Political rhetoric is conceived as conflictual and in common relation with public debate. Based on critical metaphorical analysis, this thesis revealed conflict between value of safety and freedom that was reflected in metaphors of war and oppression. This contest of metaphors can be used to interpret and explain some of the phenomena Czech society witnessed during Covid- 19 pandemic. This thesis shows that metaphors are valuable instrument for analysis of problems, that defy the possibility of being observed by instruments of everyday knowledge. This is why metaphor analysis can be deemed as useful tool for research of upcoming crises, which might emit similar level of abstraction, as Covid-19 pandemic.

The phenomenon of single motherhood in the online space and public opinion
Němcová, Barbora ; Hájek, Martin (advisor) ; Vocásek, Tibor (referee)
The topic of this thesis is analysing the differences in attitudes towards single mothers in public opinion and media representation. The theoretical part draws on the concepts of feminization of poverty, stigmatization, and agenda-setting theory. The thesis utilizes quantitative methods - factor analysis and contingency table analysis of public opinion (with data from VÚPSV 2019) and content analysis of online articles (326). The analysis of public opinion revealed a diversity of attitudes towards single mothers, with women, single and divorced individuals exhibiting greater support for single-parent parenting and state financial assistance, while men, married individuals, and older respondents tended to disagree. A general tendency to support financial assistance for single mothers was observed. Quantitative content analysis of online articles indicated that the media representation of single mothers is predominantly non- stigmatizing or positive (56%). Despite the prevalence of a non-stigmatizing image in the media, there remains a tendency towards homogenization and stereotyping of single mothers as victims of gender and structural inequalities. The media image reproduces the notion of single mothers as victims dependent on financial assistance, which aligns with the concept of the feminization...

The Study of Serviceability of Highway network with Using of Telematics
Bruna, Jiří ; Hájek, Martin (referee) ; Jurová, Marie (advisor)
In the mean time there are only a few objective information available in a road accident . A electronically motor vehicle operational data recorder, that is main topic of my graduate work could record maximum of vehicle operational data (time, velocity, activity of brakes, activity of ABS, lights, blinkers, operational engine measures). This information could contribute to faster car crash investigation.

Assessing Selected Indicators Using Statistical Methods
Lovas, Jakub ; Hájek, Michal (referee) ; Doubravský, Karel (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with the assessment of selected indicators of SAKO Brno a.s. using statistical methods. Theoretical starting points describing selected indicators and statistical methods are presented in the first part of thesis. The practical part contains the calculations of the individual indicators for the period from 2009 to 2015, which are necessary for the development of own solutions proposals. The bachelor thesis also includes a simple application created in Microsoft Office Excel 2016.

Antenna for smart watch
Hájek, Miroslav ; Láčík, Jaroslav (referee) ; Cupal, Miroslav (advisor)
The objective of this work is a create a smart watch antenna, that will operate in two frequency bands. These are GSM (1.8 GHz) and ISM (2.4 GHz) bands. This antenna must be able to work when be placed on an elastic material that is used as a smart watch belt. Antennas options are analyzed and their suitability for given use. There is also an antenna model in CST microwave studio, where all the simulations were made. The antenna is also simulated on human hand models that have different dimensions and tissue ratios.

The Yugoslav War in Bosnian media
Delic, Lamija ; Hrůzová, Andrea (advisor) ; Hájek, Martin (referee)
Lamija DELIC, The Yugoslav War in the Bosnian media Abstract The contemporary media play a significant role in constructing fresh myths within society. Some of these myths stem from the world of entertainment and celebrity culture. Nevertheless, the media, being an integral part of the cultural framework, also actively contribute to the formation of novel political myths. In societies with strong ethnic or national identities, these myths serve as a foundation for uniting the nation and defining its sense of self, especially in times of conflict or war. Their function is to portray a worldview by shaping historical narratives that portray members of other cultures and nations as adversaries. The main focus of the diploma thesis will be on collective memory, specifically examining how journalists in Bosnia and Herzegovina experienced the 1992-1995 war through the lens of the media and their role during that period. War journalism plays a crucial role in shaping collective memory, as journalists act as interpreters, presenting stories and framing events that contribute to the public's understanding of the war. Through their selection, interpretation, and dissemination of information, journalists possess the power to influence how citizens perceive and remember the conflict. The study acknowledges that what we...

MR imaging and MR spectroscopy of human during physical stress (MR spectroscopy imaging, MR diffusometry, MR relaxometry etc.)
Šedivý, Petr ; Hájek, Milan (advisor) ; Haberlová, Jana (referee) ; Vymazal, Josef (referee)
The dissertation is concerned to in vivo phosphorus MR spectroscopy (31 P MRS) and 1 H MR imaging (MRI) of muscle in combination with physical workload. The theoretical part of the thesis describes methodology of 31 P MRS measurement and its clinical use in research of metabolic changes in diabetes, heart failure and peripheral artery disease (PAD). The results of the thesis are divided into methodical and clinical parts. Methodical results deal with the construction of experimental equipment, software modification and development, and show of the reproducibility of the dynamic 31 P MRS. The MRI after exercise was used to the describe involvement of the individual calf muscles to muscle contraction during pedal movement in MR compatible ergometer. The first part of the clinical results of the thesis describes changes in muscle metabolism during diabetes and critical ischemia. In patients with critical ischemia the effect of treatment by angioplasty or transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells was evaluated. In the second part of the clinical results the metabolism of patients with heart failure complicated by sideropenia was studied. In these patients the effect of experimental treatment by iron carboxymaltose was described.
