Cross-cultural perception of sexual dimorphism in human face
Fiala, Vojtěch ; Kleisner, Karel (advisor) ; Králík, Miroslav (referee) ; Lobmaier, Janek Simon (referee)
Evolutionary psychology supposes that human behaviour consists of adaptive tools, functional and mutually intertwined, that help an individual to survive and reproduce. Human proneness to ascribe psychological characteristics, based on an individual's facial features, may present such an adaptive tool. Facial sex-typicality, the individual representation of facial features regarding a given sex (male/female), affects other ascribed characteristics. Potential functional associations between sexually dimorphic facial structure, perceived sex-typicality, and physiological and behavioural correlates are the very topic of this thesis. Following theoretical background, there are three studies listed as 'Published studies' (Study 1-3). Study 4, the submitted manuscript, has not been peer-reviewed yet. Study 5, already published, is listed as 'Appendix'. Study 1 (Fiala et al., 2021) compares the effects of perceived 'sex-typicality' and measured sexual shape dimorphism on ratings of attractiveness across five distant countries. Rating participants and stimuli faces were always from the same country. Whilst perceived female femininity is preferred across cultures, analysis of preference of perceived male masculinity and both-sex measured sex-typicality reveals cross-cultural discrepancies. Study 2 (Fiala et...

Control and regulation of the temperature of the drug transport box
Maťašová, Daniela ; Králík, Martin (referee) ; Sekora, Jiří (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the solution of drug transport in a transport box over longer distances. The work also deals with sensors for temperature measurement and methods of its control and regulation. The essence is the design, implementation and verification of the functionality of the transport device, which allows the display of continuous information about the state of the temperature inside the transport box. Temperature control is powered from the car’s on-board network and temperature sensing is powered independently. The transport device allows the setting of the limit temperature up to 35 °C, while exceeding it is indicated by an acoustic and visual alarm. The transport box, which is the result of the work, allows the transport of drugs, and ultimately meets all the requirements of the assignment.

Detection of human using IR sensor
Kroulíková, Markéta ; Mézl, Martin (referee) ; Králík, Martin (advisor)
This master's thesis deals with detection of human using IR sensor. The teoretical part is focused on the introduction of some current possibilities of detection of human, contactless techniques and sensors working on this principle. The next part presents the design of a system for the detection of human in enclosed spaces its hardware and software implementation and verification of its functionality.

Advanced methods for sleep quality assessment
Doležalová, Anna ; Králík, Martin (referee) ; Ronzhina, Marina (advisor)
This diploma thesis is focused on advanced sleep assessment using deep learning. Metrics for sleep assessment and their use are described here. There are hearth rate and accelerometer data from Apple Watch used for classification. The basis for the classification was a model composed of 1D convolution networks in combination with recurrent neural network. LSTM and GRU were used as recurrent networks. Models were taught to classify into two, three and five phases. At last the resulting methods are compared.

The influence of communities upon the amount of their tax revenues
Králík, Martin ; Marková, Hana (advisor) ; Kohajda, Michael (referee)
The purpose of the thesis is to describe and analyse capability of municipalities as subjects creating law to influence own tax revenue. The theoretical foundation of the thesis is definition of self-government and municipal budget aiming at revenue, especially tax revenue in accordance with the budgetary categorization. The main part of the thesis focuses on the municipal budget revenue, which can be influenced by municipaities. It contains two chapters. The first one of them is so concerned with local charges as the payments which the municipalities have the greatest influence on. They decree their introduction or repeal, rate etc. The next chapter of the thesis analyses the authority of municipalities regarding the real estate tax, that is possibility of exemption of real estate touched by natural disaster and exemption of some agricultural lands and set or modification of various coefficients - the local coefficient, the municipal coefficient and location rent. The following part reports on tax authority of slovak municipalities compared with czech ones. Keywords Municipal budget, local charges, local taxes, real estate tax, location rent, municipal coefficient, local coefficient.

Level of Understanding of Basics of Genetics and Molecular Biology by Students of Secondary Education
Machová, Markéta ; Ehler, Edvard (advisor) ; Zrzavá, Magda (referee) ; Králík, Miroslav (referee)
Genetics has been part of secondary education for decades. However, research on the outcomes of science education has long shown that pupils have various types of misconceptions and are not able to deeply understand the basic principles of heredity and genetics. This results in their inability to navigate in daily-life problems related to this topic and make informed decisions in their life. Deeper diagnostics of these problems as well as identification of their origin is still missing both abroad and in the Czech Republic, which unable to design effective steps leading to improvement of educational outcomes. Several analyses were conducted to describe the current state of genetics education at lower and upper secondary level in the Czech Republic from the perspective of the curriculum, textbooks, students understanding of the topic, conduction of the lessons and its impact on the students. Questionnaire was used as a main research tool. The questionnaire for pupils combined knowledge test and attitude items, while the questionnaire for teachers was used to reveal their approach and attitudes towards genetics lessons and teaching conditions of their school. Content analysis was used to analyse relevant documents affecting education (curricula and textbooks). The results pointed to problems at...

Skin dose mapping for fluoroscopically guided interventions in cardiology
Melichar, Ondřej ; Králík, Martin (referee) ; Mézl, Martin (advisor)
The subject of this work is an issue analysis of possible skin damage inflicted during fluoroscopically guided surgery and design of a radiation dose tracking software for patients undergoing an interventional cardiac surgery. The tool is implemented in Unity 3D engine. Mapping is performed by simulating the X-ray machine movement around an anthropomorphic model in conjunction with simulated irradiation using rays emitted from the X-ray machine. The input data needed for dose tracking compose of radiation dose structured report and patient specific biometrics depending on the anthropomorphic model used. Output data is presented as a heatmap mapped directly onto patient’s 3D. This can be used for early diagnostics of radiation dermatitis.

Use of the Energy Harvesting Method
Dobrovolná, Terezie ; Králík, Martin (referee) ; Sekora, Jiří (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with the use of Energy Harvesting. It contains suggestions for obtaining electric power from alternative sources located inside the laminar box such as light, heat or vibration. Electricity is also used to power sensors and measure solid particles in the air. If a certain particle concentration is exceeded, the acoustic sensor alerts. The work also focuses on the compilation of a block diagram of the device, experimental construction and verification of the functionality of the entire system.

Cortical-subcortical interactions in EEG data of patients with pharmacoresistant epilepsy
Šíma, Jan ; Králík, Martin (referee) ; Lamoš, Martin (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis deals with the elaboration of a literature search on epilepsy and electroencephalography signals with a focus on patients with drug-resistant epilepsy and the analysis of cortico-subcortical relationships. The theoretical part describes the chapters of epilepsy, electroencephalography, the possibility of pre-processing EEG data and analytical methods, which describe the cortico-subcortical interactions. The practical part contains pre-processing of EEG data, analysis of methods used, data analysis, results, discussion, and conclusion. The data analysis itself is performed by the Phase-amplitude coupling method. The discussion discusses the results, limitations, and other possible connections. The conclusion summarizes the whole bachelor thesis.
