The multifunctional object Malá Amerika
Čamborová, Tereza ; Obrtlík, Jan (referee) ; Májek, Jan (advisor)
The subject of the bachelor thesis is to design a multifunctional building in the very center of Brno. The proposal involves working with a corner plot surrounded by urban structured development with historical buildings. The massing solution responds to the height articulation of adjacent structures to create clear views of the St. Peter and Paul Cathedral and the adjacent object, Little America. The partially nine-story corner building concludes the street line and serves as an orienting element in the city while also acting as a noise barrier. The low four-story building closes the gap and, in terms of height, connects Little America with the newly formed public space between the buildings in a quieter environment.

Three church compositions from the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries from the St. Vitus Church in Český Krumlov
MENTOVÁ, Tereza
The subject of the bachelor thesis are three compositions from the second half of the 18th century, which have been preserved in the choir of the St. Vitus Church in Český Krumlov. They belong to the genre of motet. The main aim of this thesis is the processing of these compositions, which includes their setting in the score from manuscript vocal and instrumental voices, digital setting of the score, critical apparatus, formal description and placing the compositions in the context of baroque and classical sacred music. A further aim is to determine whether the compositions are also found in other collections and whether the anonymously preserved pieces can be traced to their composers. For this reason, the thesis also includes a chapter on the organisation of the RISM, which includes the RISM Catalogue, where missing information about the compositions can be found. The score of compositions was digitally set in the notation program MuseScore4. During the transcription of the compositions, various faults were found (missing accidentals, incorrect intonation, missing bars). The RISM music source inventory was used to search for the authors of the anonymous compositions. It was possible to match two compositions with authors whose biographies and list of works are included in this thesis. The composer of Kommet ihr Hierten is the Austrian composer and priest Franz Josef Aumann (1728-1797). The author of the motet Si consistant is the Czech composer Augustin Šenkýř (1736-1796).

HOW TO MOVE ON WHEN THE STATION IS GONE?
Valíček, Viktor ; Illéš, Juraj (referee) ; Zemánková, Helena (advisor)
HOW TO MOVE ON WHEN THE STATION IS GONE? "I'll tell you how. It will be pretty crappy!" (visitor to the exhibition of the same name as the pre-graduate analytical project, 2024) The purpose of the urbanistic-architectural inquiry entitled "How to move on when the station is gone?" is particularly focused on the scenario where several historically protected buildings of significant urban importance in Brno lose their function due to the relocation of a major railway junction. That means, for the preservation of a functional city structure, it is necessary to find a new and equally significant utilization. Especially considering the location and real as well as abstract significance of these buildings. A crucial aspect is the location at the interface between the newly emerging city district in a brownfield area without identity and the oldest historic city center. Former structures associated with the railway aspire to become new significant urban landmarks capable of mediating the soul and identity of Brno to the new district. Connection is the main theme introduced by the urbanistic concept for the conversion of the area, developed in collaboration with the atelier colleagues Šimon Mareček and Kateřina Jálová. The study also builds upon the ideas of the Office of the Architect of the City of Brno, especially the concept of completing the green urban circuit (following the example of Vienna's Ringstrasse) and the idea of revealing the historic so-called Ferdinand Viaduct. The area is further divided into three consecutive sections (subtitles of three diploma theses). This work primarily focuses on the conversion of the released Amerika building and the newly designed urban space 'underlining the dominant feature of Brno - the Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul'. "If a book of unfinished pages lies in front of us, its structure is already inscribed in the essence of the work itself." (Prof. Ivan Koleček, 2010) Amerika possesses an amazing genius loci and great potential to become a significant landmark for its surroundings. The "book of unfinished pages" of the former warehouse building has a structure so distinct and valuable that its violent rewriting would border on sacrilege. The building needs to be approached with extreme sensitivity, highlighting its qualities and adapting the space to new functions with necessary delicate interventions to avoid the destruction of the "structure of the work itself". The project aims to improve access to the building, creating connections with the adjacent park to the east through the revealed Ferdinand Viaduct and with the future city street with multifunctional buildings to the west. Better accessibility of the building is ensured by a level connection leading through a symbolic gate from the newly designed houses opening onto the proposed square beneath Petrov (the Cathedral of Saint Peter and Paul) to the main urban transport hub.

Využití neokovaných koní v parkurovém skákání
MIHALIKOVÁ, Eliška
It is not only in the Czech Republic that the barefoot trend is on the rise, i.e. the trend of horses without shoes, which are merely corrected. Several factors influence the decision whether or not to shoe a horse. Among the most important are the horse's work use and the surface the horse moves on, the condition of the hoof horn and economic considerations. In this study, the management and sport performance of 13 shod and 13 unshod park horses were compared. The horses were divided according to performance into 3 categories. In terms of training structure, a statistically significant difference (P0.05) was probably found only when comparing the time spent on field rides between shod and unshod horses of category Z and ZL. On average, shod horses spent 198 minutes per month in the field and unshod horses 100 minutes per month. There was no statistically significant difference between the amounts of jumping and riding work in either performance category. Furthermore, there was a statistically significant difference (rank P0.01) in the mean of all penalty points for ST*, T* and T** performance horses, with an average of 3.1 penalty points per unhooked horse and 5.58 penalty points per shod horse. Undocking had no effect on the sporting performance of the horse, therefore horse owners and riders need not worry about poorer results in sport and only shoe in the case of undocked horn.

Violence against women as one of the risk factors of female homelessness
VOHLÍDALOVÁ, Petra
This thesis focuses on homeless women and violence against them as one of the risk factors. The aim is to define the motivational factors preventing homeless women from leaving a violent relationship. The thesis is divided into three main areas. The first part focuses on homelessness and the specificities of homeless women. The second part focuses on the pro-issues of violence and the third part focuses on the motivations and disentangling the very factors that lead homeless women to remain in violent relationships. The work also includes case studies in the form of interviews with the clients of the low-threshold day centre of the St. Paul's House in České Budějovice, which help us to look at some of the issues from the perspective of the clients themselves, and are thus a practical contribution to the complexity of the whole work.

Properties of metal-organic networks on modified weakly-interacting substrates
Černá, Lenka ; Švec, Martin (referee) ; Jakub, Zdeněk (advisor)
Tato práce se zaměřuje na syntézu a charakterizaci dvourozměrných (2D) metal-organických sítí na tradičních kovových substrátech i na modifikovaných slabě interagujících substrátech, konkrétně na interkalovaném grafenu. Jedinečné vlastnosti 2D materiálů, jako je mechanická pružnost, velký měrný povrch a přístupná aktivní místa, je činí atraktivními pro různé aplikace, včetně flexibilní elektroniky, katalýzy, senzorů a separace plynů. Ačkoli metal-organické sítě mají potenciální využití v různých oblastech, většina z nich jsou elektrické izolátory s nízkou pohyblivostí náboje, což omezuje jejich použití v elektronických zařízeních. První část této práce se zabývá syntézou slibného vodivého metalo-organického systému na Au(111) a systém je zkoumán pomocí nízkoteplotní skenovací tunelovací mikroskopie (STM) a skenovací tunelovací spektroskopie (STS). Druhá část práce zkoumá syntézu metal-organických sítí na modifikovaném grafenovém substrátu pomocí STM, nízkoenergiové elektronové mikroskopie (LEEM), rentgenové fotoelektronové spektroskopie (XPS) a úhlově rozlišené fotoemisní spektroskopie (ARPES). Výsledky naznačují, že modifikace substrátu metal-organické sítě interkalací může umožnit vyladění přenosu náboje mezi metal-organickou sítí a substrátem a zároveň zachování strukturní integrity rozhraní. Celkově tato práce přispívá k pochopení syntézy a charakterizace 2D metal-organických sítí jak na tradičních kovových substrátech, tak na modifikovaných grafenových substrátech.

Formation and sources of spiritual identity within Waldorf education
HOLUBOVÁ, Helena
This bachelor thesis focuses on religious expressions of Waldorf school, which are relevant in the view of study of religion. Text in the short range offers default paradigm of anthroposophy as source of Waldorf pedagogy and present views of this holistic approach as a contrast to, so called, fragmentary nature of postmodern culture. The thesis points out identity formation and enculturation of the student through collective experience of cyclical festivities, rituals, dramatization and living out myths. The phenomenons are described in generally insight, it is futher referred to their social and religious function, on the end of each chapter is presented view to the using of the phenomenon in the Waldorf praxis.

The Development of the Cult of St. John of Nepomuk to Canonization
Herold, Miroslav ; Petráček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Mikulec, Jiří (referee) ; Royt, Jan (referee)
The cult of St. John of Nepomuk was one of the characteristic features of life in the Habsburg Empire and other European catholic countries in the early modern period. The origins of veneration for the medieval martyr were tied to Prague, to his tomb in the cathedral, to the Metropolitan Chapter. The saint became famous above all for the conviction that he gave his life for the preservation of the confessional secret. With his death he preserved the good name of the Czech Queen Joan, who confessed to him; on the other hand, he is said to have punished those who were disrespectful of his own posthumous reputation and grave. He therefore became an immensely popular defender of honour and reputation, values highly valued in the early modern society. Under the influence of the Prague Chapter, St. John's veneration was taken up by the Habsburgs, the Catholic rulers who ascended the throne of John's torturer, Wenceslaus IV, and John's spiritual daughter, Joan. They venerated the saint as one of the patron saints of the Bohemian kingdom, which they ruled. The recatholicization of this kingdom and its associated countries enabled the growth of St John's veneration, which by the end of the 17th century had already begun to spread vigorously beyond their borders. At the beginning of the 18th century, this...

Early medieval crypts in Bohemia
Tiagusheva, Tatiana ; Royt, Jan (advisor) ; Kuthan, Jiří (referee)
This thesis is devoted to early medieval crypts in Bohemia. It aims to create a catalog the early medieval crypts in the Czech until the end of the 13th century. It analyzes the existing literature on crypts in the Czech Republic, crypt functions in the Medieval Church, the presence or the absence of crypts in the architecture of the Benedictine and Cistercian monastic orders. Also it characterizes the typology of medieval crypts. This thesis describes ten early medieval buildings, from the oldest to the newest ones: the crypt of Břevnov Monastery, the crypt of basilica of Saint Wenceslas in Stará Boleslav, the crypt of the Sázava Monastery, crypts of Spytihněv's basilica in the Prague Castle, the crypt of the Doksany monastery, the crypts of Basilica of St. George in the Prague Castle, the crypt of the Hradiště nad Jizerou Monastery, the crypt of Teplice Monastery, the crypt of the church of Saint Gall in Poříčí nad Sázavou and the crypt of the St. Stephen's church in Kouřim.
