Changes of physical-chemical parameters of surface water in context with hydrological extremes. Application in the Rolava River catchment.
Šajnarová, Lucie ; Matoušková, Milada (advisor) ; Havlíková, Petra (referee)
6 Abstract The diploma thesis deals with changes in the physico-chemical parameters of surface flows in response to extremes, especially increased flows due to higher precipitation totals or melting snow. The basin of the upper Rolava with peat bogs in the basin and minimal anthropogenic influence was used. The main goal of the work was the analysis of the behavior of electrical conductivity during events when there was an increase in flow rates and the categorization of individual events according to this behavior. Furthermore, the influence of the pre-condition of the watershed on the events and the subsequent behavior of the electrical conductivity was also investigated. The 10-minute electrical conductivity and flow data from the automatic stations of the ecohydrology team of the Faculty of Science, UK, or ČHMÚ were used. Among the methods are data homogenization, construction of hysteresis loops, categorization of loops, calculation of indices for hysteresis loops and PCA analysis for the pre-condition of the watershed. In most cases, a reverse relationship of electrical conductivity behavior was observed during these events, the most common types of electrical conductivity behavior during flow increases include a slow decrease in conductivity with minimum values after the peak of flow (in light...

Holík, Jan ; Matoušková, Milada (advisor) ; Šobr, Miroslav (referee)
This bachelor's thesis presents a revitalization and renaturation study of a small watercourse in rural area. Specifically, it is the Klíšský stream, which is a tributary of the Bílina River. Among the main goals of the bachelor thesis is the development of possible proposals for possible revitalization and renaturation measures with the aim of improving the hydromorphological quality of a small watercourse. During the development of the revitalization plans, a total of 18 cross-section profiles and one longitudinal profile were surveyed within the geodetic survey, in which specific revitalization measures were proposed. Within the evaluation of the characteristics of the study area, analyses of the granular composition of the sediment of the bottom were carried out, an evaluation of the property conditions was carried out and also flow monitoring was carried out during the periods of field surveys. In the revitalization modification proposals, the existing capacity in the targeted transverse profiles was also calculated. By synthesis of all the obtained and available information, proposals for measures to improve the overall condition of the water course were carried out, in the section the water surface in the form of a pool and wetlands in the area of the non-functional hydromelioration network...

Development of Nutrient and Pesticide Concentrations in the Sázavka River and Their Changes in Connection with the Rainfall-runoff Regime
Pavlíková, Anna ; Havlíková, Petra (advisor) ; Matoušková, Milada (referee)
This bachelor thesis aims to study the selected parameters and nutrients of water quality in relation to the rainfall-runoff regime in the Sázavka River basin. The rainfall-runoff regime is influenced by many factors, including the climate change, which has received more and more attention in recent years. These changes may have a consequential impact on the quality of surface waters. In the first part of this paper selected parameters of water quality are presented. The aim was to try to understand their behaviour under the changing water flow dynamics. For this purpose, Czech and foreign literature was used. In this thesis there are also presented the most common statistical methods that are used in analysing geochemical parameters. The second part of this paper deals with the changes of climate- hydrological characteristics (air temperature, precipitation, snow cover and flow), the analysis of nutrients (forms of nitrogen and phosphorus) and physical parameters (water temperature and electrolytic conductivity). Lastly, metabolites of herbicides that ware above the detection limit in the watershed (acetochlor ESA, alachlor ESA, dimethachlor ESA and metolachlor ESA) were assessed. The analysis used some of the methods introduced in the research section. The regression analysis, correlation...

Representation of female protagonists on posters of Disney's animated movies
Matoušková, Markéta ; Dvořáčková, Věra (advisor) ; Jirák, Jan (referee)
This thesis deals with the semiotic analysis of the representation of female protagonists in Disney animated film posters from the first in 1937 to the present. The theoretical part of the thesis is divided into thematic and semiotic parts. The thematic part deals with the concepts related to the topic of feminism, historical development of the position of women, film posters, representation of women in film, but also with key aspects in the development of Disney. In the semiotic part, the thesis focuses on semiotic analytical concepts suitable for the following research. The research part of the thesis analyses a research sample consisting of eight posters for animated films. Using semiotic tools, the analysis is carried out with regard to the conditions of the creation of the films, the plot of the stories, the characteristics of the main characters, the image mode, colors and text. These findings are subsequently compared against each other and the conclusions of these findings are interpreted on the basis of this comparison. The conclusion of the thesis summarises how female heroes are represented in the posters and how their representation change depending on the time of creation and the development phase of feminism.

"It must have been the nigger blood in him": The Mechanism of Lynching in William Faulkner's Light in August
Matoušková, Magdalena ; Ulmanová, Hana (advisor) ; Roraback, Erik Sherman (referee)
Race and the American South are inseparable from both the literary work of William Faulkner and the practice of lynching. The aim of this thesis is to analyze the mechanism of lynching in Faulkner's novel Light in August. Lynching served as a racial and social control tool to scare Black Americans into submission and acceptance of a lower social rank. Black people were cruelly treated - shot, beaten, burned alive, tortured, or hung from trees. The thesis argues that the character Joe Christmas from Light in August is a victim of such practice when he is hunted and shot on the pretense of being a Black criminal. The thesis explores how his identity has been created by the communities - first as a Black man and then as a Black criminal. From his early childhood, Joe Christmas has passed through different communities that created assumptions about his racial origin. Since his race is never revealed in the book and Joe is unsure of it himself, his racial identity is socially constructed as a Black man. His Blackness is further stereotyped by two myths - the myth of the tragic mulatto and the myth of the Black rapist. The myth of the tragic mulatto is based on the notion that a person of mixed Black and white origin does not belong anywhere and is doomed to end tragically. The idea of the Black rapist...

Cosmetic equipment in the Aegean Late Bronze Age
Prchalová, Štěpánka ; Pavúk, Peter (advisor) ; Matoušková, Monika (referee)
This thesis aims to contribute to the knowledge of cosmetic aids in the Aegean region in the Late Bronze Age and to create an overview of selected types of aids. The main source of research is secondary bibliographies dealing with grave finds. The previous development of cosmetic aids in the field will be outlined. Selected types of aids are further described in terms of material, types, decoration and socio-economic context. Several significant findings are listed for each type. Within the framework of the work, the aspect of the cult of the warrior is highlighted, which runs through the entire theme. The placement of tools in the contemporary concept of the beauty of the context is addressed in the last chapter. Work on a more comprehensive view of the issue of cosmetic aids in the Late Bronze Age in the culturally related region of Egeida. The reason why people beautified themselves and what tools they used for self-cultivation may be relevant to historical circumstances. The information gained from the study of beautification and cosmetic tools could help to understand Late Bronze Age society and specifically the warriors in warrior graves and their role in society and overall historical context.

Jonáš, Miroslav ; Matoušková, Milada (advisor) ; Šobr, Miroslav (referee)
This diploma thesis presents a restoration study of a small watercourse in the urban area, specifically the section of Bouřlivec - a tributary of the Bílina River, crossing the municipality of the village Lahošť. The restoration study was carried out as a part of the contract research of the Faculty of Science, Charles University in Prague and Povodí Ohře, state enterprise. The final report of this research is part of the cited literature at the end of the qualification thesis. Among the main objectives of the study was the design of restoration concept that will primarily lead to: 1) improving the hydromorphological and ecological state of the stream, 2) increasing flood protection and 3) increasing recreational usability in close proximity to the watercourse. A total of 11 cross section profiles within a longitudinal profile with a length of approx. 454 m were geodetically measured using the total geodetic station. A modification of the new method of calculating the roughness of cross section profiles was proposed and for each profile the current and design maximum flow capacities were calculated. As part of the longitudinal profile, a mosaic of 4 variant solutions was designed, which alternate regularly within the section of interest. The grain size analysis of the river substrate was held in...
