Setting of the material profile of stereolithographic 3D printing with a focus on dimensional accuracy
Topinka, Lukáš ; Koutecký, Tomáš (referee) ; Zatočilová, Aneta (advisor)
Additive technology of stereolithography works on the principle of curing a photosensitive polymer by laser or by DLP projector. Dimensional accuracy and quality of printing are affected by various parameters, such as exposure time and layer thickness. This bachelor thesis is focused on the description of the basic principles of stereolithography, including construction solutions for printers and their influence on the quality of printing. Furthermore, this thesis identifies the main parameters affecting the accuracy and suggests experiments for testing the influence of these parameters. At the end of this thesis, there is a description of the performed experiments, followed by a conclusion and suggestions for further development of this technology.

Understanding motivation of Czech high school and university students to learn the English and French languages
CSEVÁROVÁ, Marie
The focus of this bachelor thesis is the study of the motivation of two target groups: high school and university students in learning both English and French languages. The research was stimulated by the great influence of motivation on Second Language Acquisition (SLA), and it aimed to give an insight into the motivations and different variables that influence the motivation of the students. The first chapter of the thesis introduces the topic of motivation in SLA, serving as the basis for the research. Accordingly, this work focused specifically on the following aspects of motivation: intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, instrumental motivation, language anxiety and amotivation, and several of the influences on the motivation of the students: teachers, parents, and friends. It is followed by the second chapter, which outlines the methodology: piloting a questionnaire, final questionnaire design, and the data collection. The third chapter contains the data analysis, which comprises the responses of the participants. The fourth chapter addresses both contrasts and similarities between the two studied groups. Several of the main findings are - Within the students, intrinsic and extrinsic motives coexist, nevertheless, for university students, the career motive was more noticeable. Concerning high school students, intrinsic motivation was the most prevalent. There were also some differences between the students of the target languages of this thesis, French students were often motivated by the culture of the language, and English students mostly perceived the practical usefulness of English as their main motive. The influence of teachers was perceived as more positive within university students than the high school students. Both groups of students expressed quite low perceptions of the active parental influence on their language learning. Many students displayed the occasional state of amotivation or signs of language anxiety. These aspects were higher within the university students, French majors in particular. This thesis could serve as a base for follow up research or as a tool for educators in researching the motives of their students in order to increase their motivation.

Ecological differences between herbs and woody plants, and evolution of the herbaceous habit
Klimeš, Adam ; Herben, Tomáš (advisor) ; Lens, Frederic (referee) ; Těšitel, Jakub (referee)
Ecological differences between herbs and woody plants, and evolution of the herbaceous habit Adam Klimeš, doctoral thesis Abstract Flowering plants (angiosperms), which make up most present-day vegetation, were originally woody. While flowering plants have repeatedly given rise to herbaceous lineages since their first appearance, we lack a clear explanation for these common evolutionary events. Freezing temperatures and drought periods have been proposed as factors which had caused huge success of the younger growth form but the evidence is very limited and not in favour of these hypotheses. In this thesis, we aimed to build the foundations of research on the evolution of herbs. We outlined new potential drivers of the evolution of herbs, suggested solutions to some methodological challenges and provided evidence about differences between herbs and woody plants relevant to the hypotheses on herb evolution. To this end, we used common garden experiments with young plants of both growth forms and global trait data from public databases which we evaluated using phylogenetic comparative techniques. Annuality of aboveground biomass and fast life-strategy of herbs are characteristics which differentiate them from woody plants and which in some conditions are expected to be behind their success. Apart from the...

Effects of the Teaching Czech as a Second Language
Neubergová, Daniela ; Šebesta, Karel (advisor) ; Saicová Římalová, Lucie (referee)
Name of the thesis is "Effects of the Teaching Czech as a Second Language" and in its first part presents theoretical introduction to the field of study, empirical researches of student's productive skills (Czech as a foreign language) follow (speaking, writing). First part is focused on theoretical knowledges of second language acquisition, options and approaches to exploration of language's errors and approach and viewing of errors and mistakes in general, especially in foreign researches and literature. Bigger attention is paid to selected analyzes, those are basic instruments for making of practical part of the thesis. It is especially error analysis (EA) and analysis of fluency and accuracy. Because the thesis's topic is concerned to effects of teaching and affecting factors, there are defined terms of pedagogy and psychology in theoretical part. In practical part there is presented empirical execution of mentioned analyzes, its comparison, evaluation and making conclusions in relation to appointed variables, or rather determinants, which enter the education process. Beside these instruments the research uses questionnaires and evaluation sheets for (self)reflection of student and lecturer. The aim of the thesis firstly is mapping of student's interlanguage progress thanks to case study, and...

Introduction to ELT Methodology
Gráf, Tomáš ; Mothejzíková, Jarmila (advisor) ; Klégr, Aleš (referee)
The thesis presents a theoretical framework for a portfolio for the course Teorie a praxe jazykové akvizice pro uèitele angliètiny (didaktická propedeutika). This preparatory course in didactics serves as an introduction to the subject for future teachers of English in secondary schools, whom it should equip with a basic level of understanding of the general principles of learning, language acquisition and language learning. The work presents a course syllabus, and in its individual chapters it describes the theoretical background for each seminar. The themes introduced in the course are: theories of learning and their application to language teaching, language identity, theory and description of first and second language acquisition, learner variables (age, gender,aptitude, intelligence, motivation, affective filter, learning styles, multiple intelligences, learner beliefs, the role of brain and memory in language acquisition, methods of teaching foreign languages, interlanguage, linguistic errors, levels of proficiency, communication and learning strategies, learner autonomy, the theory of a good language learner and teacher. The thesis includes an appendix containing handouts for each seminar and a student evaluation form for the assessment of the quality of the seminar.

Use of "Friends" series in teaching English on B2 level
Kohútová, Lenka ; Žďárek, Karel (advisor) ; Dvořák, Bohuslav (referee)
This thesis deals with the possibilities of using television series `Friends' in teaching English on B2 level to further linguistic and communicative competences of the students. The purpose of this thesis was to find out, whether a systematic use of the series, as a motivation to the students, for sparking a discussion or conversation among them or as means of immersion in the language and acquisition of the language, would be possible in a high school English teaching environment for a prolonged period of time. The thesis also debates the advantages and disadvantages of using series, compared to the advantages and disadvantages of using different multimedia. The thesis contains a list of activities that have been used during the testing of the series and several ideas on their modification.
