Application of automatic classification methods for driver fatigue monitoring
Cimbálník, Jan ; Koza, Zdeněk (referee) ; Smrčka, Pavel (advisor)
The goal of this thesis was to process data from the project "Wakeful car, sleeping driver," which were acquired during the period of 2000-2002. Furthermore, to obtain attributes from the data which would be appropriate for determination whether the driver is awake or tired. Moreover to evaluate the relevance of the attributes and to use them for automatic fatigue and alertness classification in drivers. The theoretical part describes fatigue as a physiological phenomenon and discusses the current state of research of the issue. The practical part then describes the experiment in which the data was obtained. This is followed by the description of the methodology of this study where signals of elektrooculography and the hall probe, which represented the steering wheel angle, were pre-processed in Matlab. Subsequently, the attributes were calculated from the individual signals and exported to MS Excel, where they were processed into the form of graphs and statistically evaluated. After the removal of irrelevant attributes automatic classification methods were used for discrimination between alertness and fatigue.

Detection of High-Frequency EEG Activity in Epileptic Patients
Cimbálník, Jan ; Kremláček, Jan (referee) ; Jiruška,, Přemysl (referee) ; Jurák, Pavel (advisor)
Tato práce se zabývá automatickou detekcí vysokofrekvenčních oscilací jakožto moderního elektrofyziologického biomarkru epileptogenní tkáně v intrakraniálním EEG, jehož vizuální detekce je zdlouhavý proces, který je ovlivněn subjektivitou hodnotitele. Epilepsie je jedním z nejčastějších neurologických onemocnění postihující 1 % obyvatelstva. Přestože jsou přibližně dvě třetiny případů léčitelné farmakologicky, zbylá třetina pacientů je odkázána zejména na léčbu chirurgickým zákrokem, pro nějž je zapotřebí přesně lokalizovat ložisko patologické tkáně. Vysokofrekvenční oscilace jsou v posledním desetiletí studovány pro jejich potenciál lokalizace patologické tkáně. Součástí této práce je shrnutí dosavadního výzkumu vysokofrekvenčních oscilací a výčet detektorů používaných ve výzkumu. V rámci práce byly vyvinuty či vylepšeny tři detektory vysokofrekvenčních oscilací, na jejichž popis navazuje evaluace z hlediska shody s manuální detekcí, přesnosti výpočtu příznaků oscilací a schopnosti lokalizace patologické tkáně. V závěru práce jsou představeny vyvinuté metody vizualizace vysokofrekvenčních výskytu oscilací a stručně uvedeny dosažené vědecké výsledky.

Brain connectivity estimation
Sladký, Vladimír ; Jurčo, Juraj (referee) ; Cimbálník, Jan (advisor)
Epileptic disease is connected with change in activity of neuronal clusters. Brain connectivity analysis deals with statistic interdependencies between different neuronal centres. Earlier studies show that changes in connectivity can be seen near primary epileptic site. What is changing connectivity and its characteristic in interictal recordings are yet to be fully known. In this thesis are analyzed data from intracranial EEG electrodes, positioned in and neighboring areas of epileptic site. Changes in connectivity of epileptic site and its surroundings are observed by nonlinear correlation method. Decrease in connectivity of epileptic site during slow wave sleep was detected on frequencies above 80 Hz. Reduced connectivity was measured on the border of epileptic zone and normal tissue. Observed features are accentuated during sleep. It was also found out that connectivity at the border of epileptic zone apears to have nonlinear property. The results show that physiological processes during sleep are influencing connectivity near epileptic site and decrease in connectivity may be related to nonlinear dependence of neuronal activity at the border of epileptic zone. This study confirms hypothesis of the earlier studies and reveals new facts about connectivity of epileptic site from the perspective of nonlinear processes. Consequent study based on this findings might lead to more precise delineation of epileptic site and to better understanding of processes, which are causing epileptic fits.

Evaluation of cardiac output by bioimpedance method with patients with pacemaker
Soukup, Ladislav ; Cimbálník, Jan (referee) ; Vondra, Vlastimil (advisor)
This thesis deals with the possibility of using impedance cardiography for calculating cardiac output. Kubicek’s, Sramek‘s and Sramek-Bernstein‘s methods are discussed here. These methods were applied to a data set, obtained by measuring on subjects with implanted cardiostimulators. The subjects’ heart rate was being changed by the programing of cardiostimulators. Thanks to this procedure the measured data were not affected by artifacts, connected with the heart rate change caused by a body stress, or other influences. An influence of heart rate on a cardiac output value based on the statistical processing of the data set was studied.

Zhodnocení efektivnosti spotřební daně z pohonných hmot jako příjmové složky státního rozpočtu České republiky
Cimbalník, Jan
This bachelor thesis deals with an evaluation of excise duty on fuel effectiveness as an income component of the Czech Republic's state budget. The investigation is based on evaluating development and impact of the excise duty on fuel on the state income from 1993 to 2012. The thesis also evaluates the impact of current fuel market situation on the state budget income and analysing the influence of tax rate on the fuel prices. The thesis pays attention to the harmonization of indirect taxes within the European Union.
