The visual representations of children in the Israel-Palestine conflict between years 2015-2021
Lusková, Martina ; Hrůzová, Andrea (advisor) ; Novotný, David Jan (referee)
The diploma thesis is focuses on the visual representation of children in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the online media Haaretz and Al Jazeera. The theoretical part of the thesis focuses on the historical context of the conflict, while the media theory part focuses on the media in Israel and Palestine and the representation of reality, focusing on visual representation and stereotyping. The aim of the research part is to use mixed-methods analysis to determine how children are portrayed in the photographs of the sample and what stereotypes and myths are manifested in the photographs. The set of photographs from the seven-year period was first subjected to a quantitative visual analysis, which provided a broader context for the depiction of children in conflict and allowed for differences in their portrayal between the media studied. The results are complemented by a semiotic analysis inspired by Roland Barthes. A sample of four photographs is used to examine three levels of image - the denotated image, the linguistic message and the connoted image. The main hypothesis of the whole research assumed that each medium would support a local narrative of the conflict through the choice of photographs, which was partially refuted by the results.

The story of Josef Hasil in the miniseries The King of Šumava The Phantom of the Dark Land and its media response
Fortuníková, Jana ; Bednařík, Petr (advisor) ; Novotný, David Jan (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with the anti-myth and myth of Josef Hasil, a smuggler from the Šumava region and the most famous bearer of the nickname "King of Šumava". The thesis reflects his image before 1989, which was fundamentally influenced by the famous propaganda film Smugglers of Death (Král Šumavy) from 1959. After the Velvet Revolution, the purification of Hasil's reputation was attempted when his life was being reinterpreted based on facts. His dramatic fate has also been featured in post communist popular culture titles. The most successful representative could be classified as a biographical novel about Josef Hasil called Návrat Krále Šumavy from 2012. The novel inspired narration of three-part miniseries King of Šumava: Phantom of the Dark Region (Král Šumavy: Fantom temného kraje) (2022) produced by a commercial TV station and distributed on its VOD platform Voyo. Both projects present their effort to straighten out the fates of Hasil's life, yet there is admitted fabrication in the story. However, an analysis of the texts of both works shows that the revision of historical reality is not neutral and corresponds to the post communist discourse on the perception of heroes of the third resistance, which can lead to their exclusive glorification and the suppression of discussion about the...

Marketing mix proposal for a company entering the Romanian market of agricultural and forestry machinery dealers
Novotný, David ; Kubíček, Daniel (referee) ; Mráček, Pavel (advisor)
The diploma thesis is concerned with the proposal of the marketing mix of a Czech company entering the Romanian B2B market of forestry and agricultural machinery dealers. The whole thesis is divided into three parts, the first part is devoted to theoretical knowledge. The second part, the analysis of the current situation, is dedicated in detail to the introduction of the company, its current marketing mix, customer preferences survey, competitors analysis, analysis of the marketing environment and last but not least the introduction of the risks resulting from entering this foreign market. The last part, the design part, presents the proposal of the individual elements of the marketing mix, which is based on the information found in the analytical part of the thesis.

Survey, Diagnostics and Design of Reconstruction
Novotný, David ; Heřmánková, Věra (referee) ; Anton, Ondřej (advisor)
The subject of this thesis is the diagnostic investigation of block A in the object at Rumiště 8, Brno. The work includes theoretical knowledge of technical surveys and diagnostic methods and their evaluation to identify the essential characteristics of masonry and timber structures. In the practical part is the diagnostic investigation processed. Part of the diagnostic investigation is the determination of material characteristics of the structure. At the end of the thesis is an assessment of the structure.

The fracture behaviour of metallic alloys with low toughness level
Novotný, David ; Svoboda, Jiří (referee) ; Stratil, Luděk (advisor)
The diploma thesis is focused on determining mechanical properties of alloys produced by powder metallurgy methods. Two alloys were studied, namely a highly entropic CrMnFeCoNi alloy and an oxide dispersion-strenthened FeAlO alloy. Both alloys were made in laboratory amount of test material and miniature test specimens were used to measure their mechanical properties. The main goal of the diploma thesis was to develop a crack preparation methodology, to examine and to evaluate the properties of miniature test specimens for materials with low levels of resilience. In the analytical part of the thesis, tensile and deformation properties and fracture toughness of both alloys were measured. For the highly-entropic CrMnFeCoNi alloy, the thesis focused on the effect of the strain rate on the properties of the alloy. For the oxide dispersion-strenthened FeAlO, the effect of temperature in the 23-600 °C temperature range on its mechanical properties was studied.

Effect of electron beam remeltin on binary mixtures deposited by the cold spray method
Novotný, David ; Řehořek, Lukáš (referee) ; Čupera, Jan (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis deals with the effect of an electron beam remelting on binary mixtures of Fe-Al and Ni-Al, which were deposited by Cold spray. The Research study is focused on the basic principles of function and usage of the electron beam technology and the Cold spray method. Furthermore, binary systems of Fe-Al and Ni-Al are, along with their binary diagrams, also described in this part. In the Experimental part, the samples were remelted by an electron beam and consequently, the changes in microstucture were examined using electron and optical microscope.

The effect of fibres addition on the properties of brick body
Novotný, David ; Stančík,, Hynek (referee) ; Sokolář, Radomír (advisor)
This diploma thesis will discuss possibilities of using inorganic fibers to improve the mechanical properties of the resulting physical body bricks. Assessment of the effect of fiber length, fiber thickness is in the order of micrometers. In this work we were used fibers which are commercially produced for the purpose of reinforcement, but also waste fibers, which mainly serves as an insulator.
