Accuracy and fluency in the speech of the advanced learner of English
Gráf, Tomáš ; Klégr, Aleš (advisor) ; Šebesta, Karel (referee) ; Betáková, Lucie (referee)
The thesis analyses the accuracy and fluency exhibited in the spoken advanced-learner English of Czech students of English philology. It draws its data from a learner corpus comprising fifty 15-minute interviews with these learners and from a parallel native-speaker corpus of forty-nine 15-minute interviews. As regards accuracy, the learner data is analysed using techniques of error analysis. Salient features of advanced learner English are identified and the subsequent quantitative analyses reveal that throughout the entire group of students (which is characterized by what revealed itself to be a wide proficiency span) two groups of error types are found to be much more frequent than any other, namely errors in the use of articles and tenses. For the fluency measurements a small selection of variables has been chosen to describe speed fluency (speech rate) and breakdown fluency (the frequency of unfilled and filled pauses), and the results are compared with those for the parallel native-speaker corpus. The analysed native speakers are found to produce speech at a generally much higher rate than the majority of the learners. There does not appear - at least in the light of the given sample - to be any direct correlation between fluency and the frequency of errors. Moreover, the learners are found...

Dohled a kontrola nad realizací veřejných zakázek v České republice
Nováčková, Tereza
Public procurement is a much-discussed area today. It is about a paid provision of particular goods or services, that are provided from the public funds. Because of the high risk of manipulating with these funds, there is a high level of supervision done from the side of the government of the Czech Republic. This is not just on the national authority’s level, but also on the European community one, where they can with their power, influence the course of implementation of the public procurement in our territory. Except the European regulations in the form of directives, regulation and other documentation, European union also acts like a donator among others, also for implementation of public procurement. This thesis creates an overview about these authorities and their competencies in the field of supervision and control of public procurement. When the public procurement is being submitted and there is a failure in the process, in such case, the public procurement authorities enters the process and checks the correctness of the contracting authority's approach. The practical part is then based on an example from practice, where we encounter above mentioned failure from the side of the submitter and entry of the controlling authority into the realization. Since this contract was granted, the relationship of the hierarchy of supervisory authorities is much more complicated. Practical example therefore states the relationships between particular authorities in their decision-making process. So, what happens when the controlling authority refuses to reimburse costs due to a misconduct in the realization of public procurement contract? To whom the submitter can turn to? These questions are answered by the practical part. Diploma thesis creates a summary, based on the detected misconducts during the implementation of the public contract and drawing of financial support from the operational program and provides following recommendations for the submitter, who initiated the procurement.

Error Analysis of Czech Written Expression of the Romani Pupils in the 9th Grade of the Secondary Practical Schools Based on the Corpora ROMi
Bedřichová, Zuzanna ; Zikánová, Šárka (advisor) ; Saicová Římalová, Lucie (referee) ; Šindelářová, Jaromíra (referee)
English Summary - Error Analysis of Czech Written Expression of the Romani Pupils in the 9th Grade of the Secondary Practical Schools Based on the Corpora ROMi Zuzanna Bedřichová ÚČJTK FFUK Prague 2014 The study is focused on practice of error making in written expressions of the Romani pupils in the 9th grade of Secondary practical schools (schools for children with special educational needs). Here 130 written school works of these pupils, which are available through the database ROMi (database of written and spoken accounts in Czech language of children and youth of Romani origin), have been analysed. The author offers innovative concept of new and elaborate scheme of error analysis, and qualitatively - quantitative analyses of the pupils' written accounts. Beside the qualitatively - quantitative analyses, the study outlines current situation of issues such as education of Romani children in the Czech language, the Romani ethnolect of Czech language, and spoken language as a source of stigmatisation. Furthermore, details about the ROMi database, 130 original written accounts in full length and practical proposals of compensation in the practice of error making are provided.

The purchase agreement for the transfer of real property
Klímová, Kateřina ; Uhlík, Milan (advisor) ; Hájková, Ivana (referee)
Bachelor thesis The purchase agreement for the transfer of real property is focused on the examination of the error rate for input of property right submitted as a subject to purchase agreement. The theoretical part of bachelor thesis explains major legal regulations, on which the issue of purchase agreement and deposit management is based on. The emphasis is put on changes in legislation, which are reflected in the Civil Code and Cadastral Law. The practical part of thesis deals with the investigation of defects in the purchase agreements and in the propositions for input property right, which led to pausing or even stopping the input management in Cadastral Office for Central Bohemian Region, Cadastral Department Benešov. Data for own analysis and all statistics used in the thesis were obtained for the period 2008 to 2015. The reason for investigation of deposit management during longer time period is subsequent eventuality for the comparison of antecedent and present legislation. In the end of the bachelor thesis, there are summarized results of own investigation and also the benefits of present legislation evaluated, which is reflected in number of accepted propositions for input in the real property as well as in error rate in purchase agreements and propositions.

COMMUNICATION CHAIN SUB-BLOCK MODELLING AND IMPLEMENTATION IN FPGA
Kubíček, Michal ; Jalovecký, Rudolf (referee) ; Pinker,, Jiří (referee) ; Kolka, Zdeněk (advisor)
Most modern clock and data recovery circuits (CDR) are based on analog blocks that need to be redesigned whenever the technology process is to be changed. On the other hand, CDR based blind oversampling architecture (BO-CDR) can be completely designed in a digital process which makes its migration very simple. The main disadvantages of the BO-CDR that are usually mentioned in a literature are complexity of its digital circuitry and finite phase resolution resulting in larger jitter sensitivity and higher error rate. This thesis will show that those problems can be solved by designing a new algorithm of BO-CDR and subsequent optimization. For this task an FPGA was selected as simulation and verification platform. This enables to change parameters of the optimized circuit in real time while measuring on real links (unlike a simulation using inaccurate link models). The output of this optimization is a new BO-CDR algorithm with heavily reduced complexity and very low error rate. A new FPGA-based method of jitter measurement was developed (primary for CDR analysis), which enables a quick link characterization without using probing or additional equipment. The new method requires only a minimum usage of FPGA resources. Finally, new measurement equipment was developed to measure bit error distribution on FSO links to be able to develop a suitable error correction scheme based on ARQ protocol.

The Optical Fibre Dispersion Effects on Multiplex Transmission Systems
Kyselák, Martin ; Filka, Miloslav (advisor)
This doctoral thesis deals with present trend to turn up the bit rate of the optical fibres making use of wavelenght multiplex systems. There are new theoretical and practical problems caused by the new technologies. Except the known modal dispersion there exist problems caused by chromatical and polarization mode dispersion. In the opening of the thesis the known effects, which influence the payload signal, are introduced. The polarization mode dispersion has the main attention. Within the scope of this thesis there has been programmed the statistical calculator which can analyses the measured values of differential group delay by Monte Carlo calculation. Next meaningful output is the designating application of the optical routes. It is possible to mathematicaly unambiguously define the polarization mode dispersion by Jones, Stokes and Poynting vectors. This complicated calculations are mechanized and in the simulation application make possible to simulate the signification of the PMD influence at different input parameters. The thesis includes the study of the PMD modulation format impact with the results of simulations and confrontation with other scientists results. The significant output are the final practical results examinations, which can be implemented thanks to the possibility of using the FTB-5500B measuring device.
