Representation of Mental Illness in Young Adult Literature
SOJKOVÁ, Michaela
The bachelor thesis looks into the representation of psychological disorders in the Young Adult literature. This kind of literary text is targeted primarily at readers within the age group of 12-18 year-olds, but nowadays it is becoming more and more popular among readers of all ages. The thesis researches the motifs of psychological disorders in Young Adult literature, especially the authenticity of representation given the specifics of disorders, and also from the viewpoint of depicting function in the scope of literary text. However, the central theme is a cultural view of how socially taboo topics are represented in literature for adolescent readers, for whom these representations can play key role in an identification of their own troubles and identity.

The Scar
Sláma, Matěj ; Nytra, Martin (referee) ; Mazanec, Martin (advisor)
Diploma thesis Scar is a short film about the fictional history of the found „monument“. In the animated film, I examine the context and meaning of the „monument“ in a virtual environment that I created based on visual documentation and mapping of specific places that I explored during my expeditions through the urban landscape of Brno and The Hague. These are mainly „lost“ spaces (also referred to as vague terrain or no man's land), which inspired me to create my own visual map of my urban explorations. The starting point of the work is personal lived experience, which I reflect by documenting places, creating 3D objects and manipulating 3D scans of „lost“ spaces with elements of computer games. In the resulting film, the viewer follows a guide–walk through a virtual environment where objective reality is intentionally blended with a fictional world built on the author's imagination.

The use of authentic materials in English language lessons in Czech lower secondary school
Šišková, Veronika ; Dvořák, Bohuslav (advisor) ; Mikuláš, Martin (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with authentic materials and the use of authentic materials in English language teaching. It is divided into two main parts. The theoretical part focuses on the definitions of authentic materials and authenticity in the context of language classroom. Different views on the subject matter are compared and summarized. The link between the real- world impact and the use of authentic materials and its influence on the motivation of the pupils is briefly discussed as well. Followingly, the thesis contains a classification of the authentic materials and advantages and potential shortcomings of their use. Each material type includes a number of activities usable in English lessons. The research for the practical part was conducted at an elementary school. The practical part thus consists of two main sections, specifically designing, piloting and observing lessons where different kinds of authentic materials were employed as well as a questionnaire filled by pupils. The questionnaire inquires the learners firstly about the lessons they attended. Furthermore, it also focuses on attitudes of the pupils towards the use of authentic materials in English lessons in general, their use in pupils' free time and their preferred authentic English material kinds. The survey results are...

Validation of HPLC method for determination of organic acids in beverages
Hanychová, Silvie ; Divišová, Radka (referee) ; Diviš, Pavel (advisor)
This diploma thesis focuses on validation of RP–HPLC method for determination of organic acids in fruit juices. The aim of this thesis was to determine suitability of the method for verification of the fruit juices authenticity based on analysis of organic acids. The theoretical part describes chemical composition of fruit and fruit juices and focuses on organic acids. It provides description of various methods of organic acids analysis with more detailed description of High Performance Liquid Chromatography and its validation. The experimental part focuses on optimalization and validation of the method. Samples of malic, citric, succinic and ascorbic acid were analysed. The optimalized method was validated and following performance parameters were determined: repeatability, linearity, limit of detection (LOD) limit of quantitation (LOQ). RP–HPLC method was applied to real samples of 100% fruit juices (apple, orange and grapefruit) and the authenticity parameters were verified.

Identity Background
Kleinerová, Zuzana ; Kleinerová, Klára (referee) ; Klodová, Lenka (advisor)
Diploma thesis Background identity is a series of events through which I am trying to find a harmony between the magic of art and life. I decided to initiate the situation, "performance" mediating an authentic, strong feelings. I tend to performance associated with life in the self-reflective approach. Based in my own performative practice in which the strength and authenticity is reflected primarily in the exchange of energy between the audience and the performer. I started to define an ideal conditions for performance to achieve this exchange, authentic experience and mutual perception of the situation within the relationship between "performer" and "spectator". In November 2015 I planned "authentic performances " series . The mutual forming of "performing" act I have anchored in the concept of identity, which is infinitely formed in relationships and the never-ending negotiation process. In the name of authenticity I am exposing myself within the anonymity of public space and waiting for the moment of identification. Waiting for concrete spectator who is already a part of me within a certain social role. Unexpected intervention into the everyday life of concrete person make the opportunity of authentic experience. Experience which is a part of his everyday life completes the action, giving the context. During the realization I got the opportunity to exhibit in the Palais de Tokyo. Aware of the significance of this opportunity for the development of my own artistic career I have decided to accepted it as a challenge. Although the terms of institution are utter contradiction of those conditions I had defined previously for authentic experience. In the name of authenticity and my principles I decided to be present in the role of spectator. To be invisible to this prestigious gallery. Be invisible to the artistic group Delta Total through which I had the opportunity to exhibit. To be inside and outside in the same time. The starting point of the last part is a necessity with the goal to get a master's degree. The necessity of outcome for jury can also betray my ideals of living authentic event. I should mediate all the experience of past events (to date 20th of April- thirty-three events) which happened in so many different places in the space of "Malá Amerika" in Brno...

Isotopic characterization of selected fruit juices - determination of authenticity on the basis of deuterium content by SNIF-NMR
Vyčítalová, Lucie ; Kolář, Kamil (referee) ; Sečkářová,, Pavlína (advisor)
The deuterium content of sugar in fruits is influenced mainly by two factors – the botanical and also the geographical origin of the fruit. The information of the fruit origin is kept even after fermentation of the sugar, in the molecules of ethanol. The deuterium content on the methyl group of ethanol then varies depending upon the botanical origin of the fruit. SNIF-NMR (Site-specific Natural Isotope Fractionation – Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) is a specific method for determination of the deuterium isotopic ratio (D/H) in small molecules, e.g. ethanol. This isotopic technique is widely used for determination of sugar adulteration of fruit-based beverages (wines, fruit juices..). In this thesis, the authentic samples of five different fruits (apples, oranges, grapefruits, pineapples and grapes) available in the Czech market have been collected and analyzed by SNIF-NMR. The results are presented as well as the comparison to some commercially available fruit juices and nectars.

Study of geographical authenticity of moravian red wine
Bidmonová, Karolína ; Punčochářová, Lenka (referee) ; Pořízka, Jaromír (advisor)
This bachelor thesis discusses the possibility of using analytical methods to determine the elemental profile of wine and to detect phenolic substances in wine. The theoretical part describes the Czech and Moravian subregions, chemical composition of wine, authenticity and methods of assessing the authenticity of wine. The next part contains a brief description of the analytical methods that were used in the experimental part. The experimental part deals with the determination of the elemental profile of wine by mass and optical emission spectrometry, the determination of phenolic substances by high performance liquid chromatography, the determination of antioxidant activity and the total content of phenolic substances. For the purpose of classifying wine samples into groups, multidimensional statistical methods (cluster analysis, principal component analysis, analysis of variance and discriminant analysis) were used to separate the groups according to geographical origin.

A Night in the Mill
Topínková, Anita ; Havlíček, Jiří (referee) ; Zet, Martin (advisor)
Be moving, seek, hunt for sth, can´t find it so far, that is a promise of paradise, or a paradise itself. Mobility as a protest, pursuit of adventure, searching for escape, authenticity or identity.
