Possibilities of physiotherapy for functional disorders caused by vocal loading in singers
BÁRTOVÁ, Kateřina
This bachelor thesis is focused on the possibilities of physiotherapy for functional disorders from excessive vocal load in singers. Functional disorders caused by excessive vocal load are a very common, but also neglected issue of voice. These disorders are caused by a frequent overuse of the vocal cords by speech and singing voice, mainly due to a poor voice technique. Functional voice disorders occur in voices of the untrained, but also in voices of the profesionals. If vocal overload is not treated, phonaesthenia, hyperkinetic dysphonia or hypokinetic dysphonia may occur. If the patient is not getting treated even in this case, irreversible organic changes in their vocal system may occur. In functional vocal disorders, there is a dyscoordination of different parts of the vocal tract, hyperactivity of the exhalatory muscles, extra-laryngeal muscles, and vocal cord adductors. The treatment of functional disorders from excessive vocal load consists in the elimination of the primary causes. Re-education of the voice with the help of voice exercise and re-education of the related body system is important. The aim of this paperis to map the possibilities of physiotherapy for functional disorders from excessive vocal load in singers and to design an exercise unit as a prevention of functional vocal disorders. In the theoretical part, the bachelor thesis deals with the voice, the anatomy of the vocal system and its function. There are described functional voice disorders, their causes, and methods of treatment. Furthermore, the bachelor's thesis focuses on the description of physiotherapy options that can be used for functional disorders from excessive vocal load. The practical part of the bachelor thesis is divided into two parts. The first part is processed in the form of qualitative research. The research sample consists of two singers with repeated problems of overloaded vocal cords. The sample underwent an input and output kinesiological analysis and the design of the therapy was created according to the identified issues. The therapy had positive impact on both patients and helped their improvement. The second part is processed in quantitative form. The research sample consists of 100 amateur and professional singers who filled out a questionnaire focused on the education of respondents in the field of singing, their subjective opinion on the correct performance of singing, questions on vocal disorders and methods of their treatment. The questionnaire contains, as well, a short subjective test of vocal overload. The questionnaire maps singers' awareness and the incidence of vocal disorders among those surveyed. According to the results of the questionnaire, it can be stated that the education of singers is still insufficient. In accordance with the results of the questionnaire, a handbook for singers was compiled in order to prevent voice disorders with the help of prevention and to inform singers about functional voice disorders.

Genesis, the television oratorio. Audio-visual analysis within the context of Czech television opera
Ledvinka, Martin ; Havelková, Tereza (advisor) ; Kratochvíl, Matěj (referee)
The present thesis proposes a deconstructive analysis of Czech television oratorio Genesis (director Pavel Hobl, music Zbigniew Wiszniewsky, Czechoslovak Television and Zweites Deutsches Fernsehen, 1969). Using concepts of voice-object and acousmêtre, this study examines music of the oratorio as an important narrative feature of the audio-visual object. The text interprets the narrative of the oratorio as a crituque of logocentrism and rationalism of modern society. Beside the interpretative part, the study duscusses history and preception of the genre of television opera in Czechoslovakia from early 60s to 1989. Two concepts of the production of television opera are introduced: first, a concept of television opera as a mediator of an existing operatic work, or as means of cultural education of "mass audience"; secondly, television opera is called to represent a new art form using specific television means. These concepts are found in texts by Czech music theorists and journalists of 60s, when the disputation about television opera in Czech journals culminated. A list of television operas produced by Czechoslovak television until 1989 is attached.
