Ontological security and anxiety: establishing the conceptual link
Maděra, Matyáš ; Kazharski, Aliaksei (advisor) ; Weinfurter, Jaroslav (referee)
This thesis explores the link between existential anxiety and ontological security. It first establishes both concepts through conceptual analysis and then further analyses their interaction. To illuminate this interaction, anxiety has been divided into conscious and unconscious forms based on an interpretation of Heidegger's work. Contrary to the common framing of anxiety as either a source or a result of ontological insecurity, it is established as primarily a revelatory emotion. Anxiety as an unconscious emotion always exists because it arises as a response to future possibilities, which never disappear entirely. However, increased ontological insecurity can make the individual more vulnerable to experiencing the emotion consciously, which can, in turn, worsen the condition. Throughout the conceptual analysis, the thesis also highlights the main criticisms, paradoxes, and other issues facing the field. It provides arguments against the transition of ontological security to a level of the state and against using anxiety as a concept that leads to some form of determined outcome. Lastly, because ontological security is defined as "the security of the self," the thesis establishes this concept based on the theories of Kierkegaard and Giddens.

Extension of Mobile Application Don't Panic
Snopek, Matúš ; Kapinus, Michal (referee) ; Chlubna, Tomáš (advisor)
The aim of the work is to create an extension to the mobile application \textit{Nepanikar}, which helps users suffering from various mental illnesses. The extension should includes extending the already existing functionality of recording users' moods, then visualizing them using graphs and heatmaps, displaying them in a register of mood records, as well as enhancing specific records. A dark mode is also to be added to give the app a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. The extensions are meant to give users better tools to manage mental health issues.

Analyzing a person’s handwriting for recognizing his/her emotional state
Chudárek, Aleš ; Matoušek, Jiří (referee) ; Malik, Aamir Saeed (advisor)
Rozpoznávání emocí z rukopisu je náročný a interdisciplinární úkol, který může poskytnout vhled do psychologického a emočního stavu pisatele. V této diplomové práci byl vyvinut a vyhodnocen model strojového učení schopný predikovat emoční stav pisatele na základě vzorků jeho rukopisu. Byl využit dataset EMOTHAW, který obsahuje vzorky rukopisu a kreseb od subjektů, jejichž emoční stavy byly změřeny pomocí testu DASS, který hodnotí úroveň deprese, úzkosti a stresu, a CIU Handwritten databázi pro ověření a experimentování. Bylo extrahováno množství příznaků inspirovaných standardní grafologií, stejně jako příznaky specifické pro online data. Pomocí ANOVA byly vybrány statisticky významné příznaky, které byly normalizovány pomocí Z-Score, MinMax, IQR nebo logaritmické transformace. Dimenzionalita příznaků byla snížena pomocí analýzy hlavních komponent (PCA) a lineární diskriminační analýzy (LDA). Pro klasifikaci byl použit meta-přístup Ensemble learning, který se snaží snížit chyby jednoho jednoduchého modelu využitím rozmanitosti a doplňkovosti více modelů. Struktura klasifikátoru závisí na mnoha argumentech, což vede k více než 300 000 různým konfiguracím. Optimální argumenty a tudíž optimální struktura byla hledána pomocí zamrazování argumentů. Byly identifikovány nejlepší klasifikátory pro binární a trinární klasifikaci každé emoce, což vedlo k šesti optimálním modelům. Tyto modely byly hodnoceny pomocí různých metrik, jako jsou accuracy, precision, recall a F1 Skóre, a dosáhly adekvátních výsledků ve všech metrikách. Kromě nalezení klasifikátorů tato práce zkoumala význam každého extrahovaného příznaku, čímž byl vytvořen seznam nejvýznamnějších příznaků použitých pro rozpoznávání emocí z rukopisu. Dále tato práce rozšiřuje databázi EMOTHAW identifikací úkolů, které jsou více indikativní pro specifické emoce, čímž se snižuje potřeba kompletní baterie úkolů pro emoční analýzu.

Diagnosing anxiety and depression from brain electroencephalogram (EEG) signals
Osvald, Martin ; Jaroš, Marta (referee) ; Malik, Aamir Saeed (advisor)
Duševné poruchy predstavujú širokú škálu emócií v našej spoločnosti. Tieto psychické stavy významne ovplyvňujú kognitívne, emocionálne a behaviorálne fungovanie jednotlivcov. Bežné duševné poruchy sa vzťahujú na dve hlavné diagnostické kategórie: depresívne poruchy a úzkostné poruchy. Cielom tejto práce je nájsť novú metódu na detekciu či daný pacient trpí úzkosťou alebo depresiou pomocou klasifikácie EEG. V tejto práci používame kombináciu genetických algoritmov a modelov z hlbokého učení.

Detection of Anxiety from Brain Electroencephalogram (EEG) Signals
Marko, Július ; Shakil, Sadia (referee) ; Malik, Aamir Saeed (advisor)
Úzkosť ovplyvňuje ľudské schopnosti, správanie, produktivitu a kvalitu života. Úzkosť nás udržuje v bezpečí ako súčasť systému, ktorý pomáha kontrolovať a odvracať nebezpečenstvo. Tento systém sa však môže narušiť. Keď takéto narušenie nastane, môže to viesť k depresii a dokonca k samovražde. Cieľom tejto práce je vyvinúť novú metódu detekcie úzkosti zo signálov mozgu, konkrétne elektroencefalogramu (EEG), neinvazívnej a nákladovo efektívnej skríningovej metódy. Navrhovaná metóda zahŕňa mikrostavy, ktoré zatiaľ neboli na základe dostupnej literatúry použité na detekciu úzkosti. Extrahované sú aj ďalšie vlastnosti v časovej a frekvenčnej doméne. Nakoniec bol na týchto vlastnostiach natrénovaný a vyhodnotený klasifikátor strojového učenia, ktorý prekonal aktuálne dostupné metódy.

Crisis of the Modern Man in works of Egon Hostovsky
Rut, Ivan ; Kubíček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Neumann, Lukáš (referee)
The bachelor's thesis focuses on the comparison of proses by Egon Hostovsky with respect to the theme of the crisis of the modern man. It follows a discourse about his works and discusses its various approaches, particularly the psychological one, the existential one, as well as the context of realist and expressionist narrative basis. Furthermore, it shows the development of Hostovsky's poetics and the reception of his later works, the novel The Charity Ball in particular. The thesis is buttressed by findings and concepts established in publications by Vladimír Papoušek, Lubomír Doležel and František Kautman. The results of the comparative analysis point to the internal connections between the narrative representations of guilt and anxiety, particularly in the novel Dům bez pána (The House Without a Master) and in the short story collection Letters from Exil, which enables the idea of a new authenticity of the human subject, symptomatic for which are modernist uncertainty and groundlessness. To these phenomena an axiological searching in Hostovsky's works is also subjugated to. With exception for Seven Times the Leading Man and The Midnight Patient - the politically oriented Hostovsky's novels, in which a quantity of conservative constructs and decadent contemplations is present. The main poetics...

Characteristics of dreams in people with anxiety
Korábová, Sára ; Preiss, Marek (advisor) ; Valentová, Hana (referee)
This thesis examines the characteristics of dreams in people with anxiety. Dream characteristics, including emotions in dreams, dream content, dream recall, and attitudes towards dreams, are monitored in people with anxiety (N=36) compared to a control group (N=28). The theoretical part addresses anxiety and dreams, and the research part focuses on methodology, data collection process, findings, and discussion. Participants were divided into groups of individuals with or without anxiety using the STAI inventory, based on their trait anxiety levels. Participants then recorded their dreams in an online dream diary for two weeks, and during data collection, they were also tested for current anxiety levels. It was found that individuals with anxiety experience dreams with more negative emotional tones, and their attitudes towards dreams differ in several respects (in terms of significance, positivity, recall, and apprehension). Differences were also observed in the frequency of certain categories of dream content (categories of characters, aggressive interactions, misfortunes, and negative emotions). The influence of anxiety on dream frequency and length was not found to be significant. The aim of this study was to comprehensively describe dream characteristics in individuals with anxiety compared to...

The Case
Svobodová, Hana ; Šrek Bromová, Veronika (referee) ; Gabriel, Michal (advisor)
I assume huddled topic that I put into my past work as well as in final work. Casting my body, which is covered with feathers and create a cocoon of him, husk without the interior. Sculpture has two sides, the principle of duality, femininity and counterpart. Outer packaging evokes pleasant birdlike body surface and in the inner part aggressively squeeze ends of the wicks feathers.

COAT
Svobodová, Hana ; Pangrácová, Lucie (referee) ; Gabriel, Michal (advisor)
Although the main topic of my diploma thesis is Kabát, I describe in the introductory chapters of my previous work, because their creation and gradual emergence have been directed towards the final project - Kabát. As part of my sculpture, I concentrate mainly on the possibilities of transforming the human figure, using various classical and non-traditional sculptural materials. The fabric of a selected piece of clothing (in the case of a coat) is reinforced at a certain point in time, which I transposed into the feathered cavity - the coat that you put before you. His work with the "outer envelope of man" in the final passage of the text corresponds to the work of Czech and foreign artists.
