Women of important composers, involved in music
Chvalová, Viola ; Palkovská, Jana (advisor) ; Tichá, Libuše (referee)
In this thesis, I summarize the personal and professional profiles of a selection of musically active women who lived alongside prominent composers. These are six women artists from the Baroque to the 20th century. In each chapter, a different element of their lives became the focus of my interest. Sometimes, given the paucity of reliable sources of information (especially in relation to the Baroque period), this is merely a summary of hypotheses, sometimes I focus more on the professional side of the personality, and sometimes on personal and family matters. The thesis deals with sections of music history with which the general public is not so familiar and yet which I suppose deserve to be known. I focus on the virtuoso of the seventeenth-century harpsichordist Marie-Rose Dubois, who, alongside her husband J. B. Forqueray, was a concert artist, the singer and important creator of the Bach manuscripts Anna Magdalena Bachová, the outstanding singer of the classical period Josefina Dušková, the wife of the Czech composer F. X. Dušek. I also deal with the harpist and composer Sophie Corri-Dussek, wife of the musical bohemian J. L. Dusik, the most important 19th century pianist Clara Schumann and the opera singer Berta Lauterer, partner of the Czech composer J. B. Foerster. There are, of course, many...

Good Chef
Rajmon, Daniel ; Bena, Julie (referee) ; Mazanec, Martin (advisor)
An interactive project called The Good Cook serves a multi-course menu consisting of a narrative video, a music album and a performance. The primary focus here is on the play of associations of cultural overlaps around cookery, which continue to accumulate and serve here as a tool for further imagery projected into the project's divided segments. Although the segments are separate, they are loosely related and interact with each other. The theme of cooking serves as a support system for the storytelling, which paraphrases cooking through, for example, the symbolism of the everyday, cooking TV shows, or pop culture metaphors such as the internet term "let him cook".

Machine learning in audio effects
Sychra, Jakub ; Mošner, Ladislav (referee) ; Černocký, Jan (advisor)
Získávání hudebních efektů z mixovaných skladeb je složité téma, které vyžaduje znalosti jak v oblasti zpracování signálů, tak zkušenosti s audio inženýrstvím. Tato práce cílí na tvorbu systém, který by byl schopen identifikovat sekvence a parametry kytarových efektů z mixovaných skladeb. Trénovací data byla vytvořena za využití čistých kytarových zvuků z datasetu IDMT-SMT-Audio-Effects. Tyto data byla následně augmentována populárními kytarovými efekty (BitCrush, Chorus, Clipping, Compressor, Delay, Distortion, High-pass filter, Ladder filter, Low-pass filter, Limiter, Phaser a Reverb), které byly implementovány pomocí knihovny Pedalboard tvořící mezivrstvu mezi jazykem Python a standartními VST efekty. Samotný rozpoznávací systém je založený na architektuře VGGish, k níž jsou přidány klasifikační (přítomnost efektu) a regresní (parametry efektů) hlavy. Výkon modelu je hodnocen na základě přesnosti klasifikace a regrese, a také v neformálních poslechových testech.

Skinhead subculture within post-industrial era and its possible development through the eyes of its own members
Jakubčanin, Petr ; Maslowski, Nicolas (advisor) ; Urban, Lukáš (referee)
This diploma thesis is based on the essence of the subculture anchored in the post- industrial era. Through the relevant literature, I theoretically analyze the relationship of the skinhead subculture to the dominant culture and uncover its characteristics formed mainly by the influences of globalization, actual capitalist system and mutual interaction of various social factors. I also focus on the specific signs and internal differentiation of the subculture, which are related to its politicization. In the empirical part, I focus on answering research questions through qualitative research, which aims to reveal the emic perception of subculture in the post-industrial era through the eyes of its members themselves. The testimonies of skinheads about the current state of their subculture and its possible future development are then thoroughly analyzed and interpreted.

Studijní program: Učitelství pro 1.st ZŠ, specializace Hv Studijní obor: Učitelství pro 1.st ZŠ 2024 ABSTRACT The diploma thesis deals with the motivation of children to play a musical instrument due to cultural impact of the Kolet's mining music orchestra coming from Jestřebí mountains region. The work is divided into two parts. The first part is devoted to the history of Kolet's mining music from its beginning to present, to musical events that took place under the leadership of various conductors of the orchestra. I am also focusing on persons thanks to whom Kolet's mining music was maintained and most significant events took place. These are Kolets brothers and Zdeněk Tlučhoř. Second part is focused on obtaining data on the motivation of pupils from ZŠ Velké Svatoňovice, Malé Svatoňovice, Batňovice, Úpice a Rtyně v Podkrkonoší and pupils from ZUŠ Úpice a Rtyně v Podkrkonoší. A research survey will also be conducted with the members of the Kolet's mining music, which will serve to obtain data about their own motivation for music.

Software-defined antenna array
Sedláček, David ; Prokopec, Jan (referee) ; Maršálek, Roman (advisor)
Hlavným cieľom tejto práce bolo vyvinúť demonštračnú platformu pre implementáciu algoritmov na odhad smeru príchodu signálu. Celkovo bolo opísaných šesť techník, ktoré boli následne implementované v Pythone spolu so simuláciami príchodu signálov. Bola vykonaná štúdia dostupného hardvéru, v ktorej boli porovnané rozdiely medzi na mieru prispôsobenými a voľne dostupnými riešeniami. Navrhli sa konkrétne hardvérové a softvérové konfigurácie pre praktickú implementáciu metód odhadu príchodu signálu. Na záver boli navrhnuté experimentálne merania na overenie účinnosti implementovaných metód. Vykonali sa testovacie merania a ich výsledky boli kriticky zhodnotené.
