Hardware Acceleration of Image Filtering
Fiala, Martin ; Martínek, Tomáš (referee) ; Kořenek, Jan (advisor)
This master's thesis contains introduction to image filtration problems, especially to theoretical outlets, whose origin lies in linear systems theory and mathematical function analysis. There are described some approaches and methods which are used to image smoothing and for edge detection in an image. Mainly Sobel operator, Laplace operator and median filter are covered. The main contents of this project is discussion of some approaches of hardware acceleration of image filtering and design of time effective software and hardware implementations of filters in a form of program functions and combinational circuits using theoretical knowledges about time complexity of algorithms. Hardware and software implementation of named filters was done too. For every filter, time of filtration was measured and results were compared and analyzed.

Electric networks with DC voltage up to 1000 V
Fiala, Martin ; Kopička, Marek (referee) ; Ptáček, Michal (advisor)
This master´s thesis deals with the proposal of DC low voltage network at a voltage level of 1000 V DC in Praskolesy u Mrakotina village. Direct distribution will be realized only at the terminal, which will power the village. Next part of this thesis is theoretical and its main focus is description of both DC and AC distribution systems. The proposed DC grid will use existing distribution grid. The thesis further describes the problems of long terminals in low voltage distribution systems and electrical installation in buildings. The result of this work is a comparison of the losses between AC and the proposed DC system. The last part deals with economical evaluation and technical solution for the proposed network variant, including their advantages and disadvantages.

Business planning in the AI era: a study of ChatGPT's capabilities and limitations
Fiala, Martin
Business planning plays an important role in ensuring the success and growth of a company. Artificial intelligence (AI) systems have the potential to revolutionize business planning, offering benefits such as enhanced decision-making, reliable insights, and improved collaboration between AI and human expertise. This study aims to explore the potential of ChatGPT in business planning and shed light on its strengths and weaknesses, ultimately helping organizations make informed decisions about incorporating AI into their planning processes. The primary objective of this thesis is to investigate the capabilities and limitations of ChatGPT, in the context of business planning of food truck business in Czech Republic, using a single-case study approach. The findings from the literature review and case study are synthesized to provide a comprehensive understanding of the topic. The results from the qualitative and quantitative analyses are used to assess the effectiveness of ChatGPT in executing various tasks related to the business planning scenario. In addition, recommendations for future research and practical applications of ChatGPT are provided. The implications of AI advancements for businesses and practitioners are both promising and challenging. By improving interpretability and explainability, addressing data quality issues, fostering collaboration between artificial intelligence and human experts, and considering ethical implications, we can pave the way for more effective and responsible use of AI systems for business planning.

Subordinated bonds as a Tier 2 capital instrument
Fiala, Martin ; Kohajda, Michael (advisor) ; Kotáb, Petr (referee)
Subordinated bonds as a Tier 2 capital instrument Abstract This rigorous thesis the topic of which is "Subordinated bonds as a Tier 2 capital instrument" elaborates on bank regulation and possible ways of how to comply with it. Specifically, whether it is possible (and how) to meet Tier 2 capital requirement as one of the requirements of capital adequacy. Following the introduction to this rigorous thesis and setting forth the scientific methods of work the author follows a development of capital adequacy as one of the core requirements of the current bank regulation. This historical development has been put into conjunction with the leading feature of this development - whether it was a globalisation of banking services or specificities of 2008 financial crisis. The Tier 2 capital requirement is explained on this background. This topic is completed with the purely economic chapter that elaborates and explains reasons of financial regulation and goals that the financial regulation tends to accomplish. To be specific, it concerns the theoretical model of perfect competition and particular market failures. The understanding of market failures is a key to the well-drafted financial regulation. While banks tend to complain about the amount of regulation they need to comply with on a daily basis, the goal of...

The contribution of echocardiography in patients with cardiac resynchronization therapy
Praus, Rudolf ; Pařízek, Petr (advisor) ; Neužil, Petr (referee) ; Fiala, Martin (referee)
Introduction Chronic heart failure (CHF) is the subject of increased interest in the medical community, because of the high number of affected persons and also with regard to the resulting socio-economic impacts. Understanding the relationship between echocardiography and cardiac resynchronization therapy will allow better identification of potential responders and non-responders, which is very important because of the relatively high costs of this treatment. Objective Based on our own experience and comparison with literature data to evaluate the importance of echocardiography in cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Methods One day before implantation, and at 3 and 15 months after implantation, we assessed: NYHA class, quality of life (QoL) and the 6-minute walk test (6MWT). In addition to a standard echocardiography, we assessed the presence of ventricular dyssynchrony and right ventricular (RV) systolic function by tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion and by pulsed tissue Doppler imaging (myocardial peak systolic velocity was measured at the tricuspid annulus). In 40 patients was compared echocardiographic, electrocardiographic and automated approach to optimization of biventricular pacemaker - interventricular delay (VV delay - VVD). Every patient in whom the quality of life, NYHA...

Legal position of Czech National Bank and its activities
Fiala, Martin ; Vondráčková, Pavlína (advisor) ; Novotný, Petr (referee)
The topic of the final thesis is The Legal Status of the Czech National Bank and its Powers. Even though this topic is quite extensive, I have decided to focus on powers of the Czech National Bank with regards to the implementation of the directive establishing a framework for the recovery and resolution of credit institutions and investment firms. In order to fulfill the topic and understand properly the current legal status of the CNB, I included the history of the CNB as well. Based on it, I set forth its status in Czech law with regards to the organizational structure, goals, powers or activities. Subsequently, I addressed the BRRD itself. The CNB obtains new scope of powers with regards to the directive that shall solve the Too big to fail doctrine. This doctrine was highly reflected in politics during the financial crisis in 2008, which begun in the USA after the bubble on a real estate market burst and irresponsible activities of investment banks were disclosed. The investment banks undertook higher risk than they were able to manage. After the bubble burst, consequences of fall of some investment banks would have been more serious than amount of money that was actually needed for bail-out. In order to limit such consequences in future, the BRRD was prepared to tackle this issue. The BRRD...
