Listening and listening activities in music education at the second grade of elementary school
JANÍKOVÁ, Ludmila
The diploma thesis Listening and listening activities within Music education at the second grade of primary school deals with the issue of listening. According to the curriculum, listening is a compulsory part of Music education. The main aim of the thesis is to create the comprehensive overview of the most important information about this activity, which will serve other teachers to motivate pupils properly and increase their interest in active and conscious music listening. The first chapter explains why listening is so important and how it affects us. The second chapter is devoted to hearing and hearing organ. Another question is how Music education, listening and listening activities are described by the Curriculum framework and curriculum. The last chapter describes what knowledge we need to make listening effective and what we can analyse within individual demonstrations. The research part contains the list of recommended tracks for 7th class of the second grade. Worksheets and methodological sheets for teachers are created for each composition. These worksheets and activities are tested by pupils during one school year. To find out the effectiveness of practicing proper listening, pupils will fill in the pretest and post-test after the research.

Ústrojí rovnováhy a sluchu koně
Vejrychová, Šárka
This thesis deals with the apparatus of balance and hearing of the horse. It is divided into four main chapters. The first chapter focuses on the anatomy of the horse's ear, which is divided by the sequence into the outer, middle and inner ear. There is also paid attention to the blood supply and the innervation of the individual structures of the ear. The second chapter deals with the physiology of balance and hearing. It studies especially the specifics of horse's hearing and compares the differences from the human ear. The third chapter is devoted to the ear in terms of horse ethology and breeding. In particular, the formation of the pinna and the use of auditory abilities of horses in training and communicating with a person, but also in natural communication with other horses. The fourth chapter contains a list of the most common diseases of organs of hearing and balance of the horse. It describes the causes of the disease, its symptoms, diagnosis, optimal treatment options, prognosis and its impact on the quality of hearing and balance of the horse.

The proces of acquiring social competences for people with hearing impairment
Mihočová, Jiřina ; Novák, Petr (advisor) ; Ondrušová, Jiřina (referee)
The presented diploma thesis analyzes how the process of acquiring social competences for people with hearing impairment takes place. The work is divided into theoretical and empirical parts and divided into four chapters. In the theoretical part, there are chapters clarifying the importance of hearing in the process of social competences and the effect of its lack on an individual's life. We will also find chapters clarifying the problem of hearing impairment and the definition of social competences with regard to hearing impairment. In the practical part, the research reveals the subjective attitude to which extent certain institutions were involved in the process in the life of the respondents. The practical part further analyzes whether the necessary social competences are the same from the point of view of the hearing and deaf communities. The mentioned research indirectly follows on from a part of the research that was described in the bachelor's thesis (Mihočová, 2022), where the research revealed what social competences are suitable for satisfactory social functioning from the perspective of hearing individuals. It was also conducted using a qualitative method. In the practical part, I also analyze the results of both research investigations and compare the knowledge gained. Based on the...

Infuence of eardrum position on sound transmission
Krbálek, Jaroslav ; Dušek, Daniel (referee) ; Pellant, Karel (advisor)
The human eardrum is inclined at an angle of 50 ° t o the axis of external auditory canal. The main objective of this thesis was to determine the impact of the inclination on sound transmission characteristics of external ear canal. It was observed influence of the various features of the eardrum and of the malleus weight on calculated transmission characteristics. Simple finite element model (FEM model) was created in the ANSYS program. The acoustic subsystem of the outer ear tube, elastic eardrum and solid malleus were created. The external ear canal model was modeled as one sided open cylinder which was terminated diagonally bedded with eardrum. In addition to the impact of the eardrum inclination, the influence of the eardrum elasticity and the weight of malleus on the sound transmission characteristics of external ear canal was also monitored. The eventual presence of the coincidence effect was also studied.

Influence of exostoses on hearing
Vališová, Šárka ; Švancara, Pavel (referee) ; Pellant, Karel (advisor)
Exostoses are periosteophyte inside the external auditory canal of the human ear. The main objective of this bachelor´s thesis is to determine the potencial impact of the shape modification of the external auditory canal due to occurence of exostoses on the mechanical sound transmission into the internal ear. The task was solved by FEM modelling performed in the ANSYS system. The simple finite element 2D model of the normal human ear has been taken from the diploma thesis B. Ouali: Development of 2D finite element model of human ear (BUT Brno, 2009), the model included the external ear canal, elastic eardrum, otitis cavity with the otitis ossicles and the cavity of the internal ear. The changes simulating exostoses in form of two opposite semicircles were performed. The different size and position of the symmetrical exostoses were studied. The influence of the exostoses on the sound transfer characteristics of the external ear canal was discused. It was processed the set of the audiograms (19 patients). The results of the modelling and the results of the audiology were compared, the preoperativ and the postoperativ stages were considered.

Influence of exostoses on ear sound transfer function
Vališová, Šárka ; Švancara, Pavel (referee) ; Pellant, Karel (advisor)
Exostoses are surface periosteophyte inside the external auditory canal of the human ear. The main objective of the diploma thesis is to determine the potencial impact of the narrowing of external auditory canal by exostoses on the mechanical sound transmission into the internal ear. The task was solved by FEM modelling in the ANSYS system. The simple finite element 2D model of the normal human ear was used and it has been taken from the diploma thesis B Ouali: Development of 2D finite element model of human ear (BUT Brno, 2009). At the model, including the external ear canal, elastic eardrum, otitis cavity with otitis ossicles and the cavity of the internal ear with internal ear partition, the alterations simulating different size of narrowing a and different positionig of exostoses were done. The influence of the exostoses on the sound transfer characteristics for air sound transmission and for bone sound transmission was discused. The results were analysed and compared with audiology.
