AUDIOVISUAL COUNTERPOINT
Ženíšek, Martin ; Bláha, Ivo (advisor) ; Skall, Vladimír (referee)
The aim of the thesis is to organize and assess the various applications of
audiovisual counterpoint, an intentional discrepancy between the displayed scene
and the sound. The thesis focuses on audiovisual counterpoint from the
perspective of its function, psychological principles and dramatic and esthetic
effects in various genres of audiovisual production.
The first part of the thesis addresses the general theory of audiovisual
counterpoint and summarizes the various types of sounds in audiovisual
production.
The second part pursues the manifold combinations of audio and video
ranging from a mild discordance to complete contradiction. The various types of
audiovisual counterpoint are illustrated with sample film scenes.

WIND INSTRUMENTS OF MODERN SYMPHONY orchestra
Hybler, Martin ; Kurz, Ivan (advisor) ; Riedlbauch, Václav (referee) ; Bláha, Ivo (referee)
My work concerns wind instruments of the symphonic orchestra seen from the
perspective of the current period ? that is instruments which in unconventional
ways offer new sound possibilities. In the opening three chapters I will briefly
outline common features of wind instruments, of their principles of sound
creation, sound characteristics and the function of the wind instrument in the
orchestra. I will focus on their notation, and on air consumption and breathing.
The following chapters cover dynamic possibilities of wind instruments,
articulation, sound effects and muting. The focal point of the work lies in the
chapter about special possibilities of wind instruments, for instance, multiphonics,
bisbigliando, double-trill, flageolets, slap-tones, echo-tones etc. In the
closing chapter I sum up the results of my experiments of tremolo of all tone
combinations in the main representative family of wooden wind instruments
(flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, and saxophone). From the tests arise additional
synoptic tables of special techniques.

Implementace BI ve firmě Haguess a.s.
Bendák, Martin ; Novotný, Ota (advisor) ; Bláha, Jiří (referee)
The subject of this thesis is a pilot project of the implementation of the BI (Business Intelligence) solution in the company Haguess, a. s. The project is concerned with the analyses of data stored in a database -- DataBase Management System (DBMS) -- which is used as a data source by the web application Customer Support Center (CSC). Haguess primarily uses CSC as a helpdesk for its clients and partners, but also uses it for internal purposes. The main use of the CSC application is to support information systems delivered by Haguess. There were two motives for the choice of this subject: BI software tools had not previously been used by Haguess, and the company management was keen to get data analyses from the CSC application. That's why I decided to do these analyses. My goal was to create a practically useful solution which would be an incentive for Haguess to use BI software tools for other purposes. This thesis has two main goals. The first one is the realisation of the pilot BI solution, which would outline the possibilities for analysis of data from the CSC application using BI software tools. This involved the following activities: multidimensional analysis and BI solution design -- i.e. design of data pipelines, OLAP (On-Line Analytical Processing) cube/cubes, and user tools in MS Excel calculator. The second goal was to select the proper software tools for a future complex realisation and running of the BI solution. The first objective was achieved by doing the following: proper analysis of the CSC application data model, definition of user requests for output analysis and its comparison with the data model analysis. Based on this comparison, the basic subjects of output analyses were determined. These basic subjects were the starting point for the implementation of the BI solution. The second objective was achieved as follows: on the basis of the implementation results, basic demands (criteria) for BI software tools features were determined, bearing in mind the possible future complex realisation and running of a BI solution. Research determined which BI software tools were available on the market. The most suitable BI software tool was selected following a comparison of available options, and the criteria mentioned above. The primary outcome of this thesis is the creation of a practically usable BI solution.
