Architecture and sightless
Luciaková, Katarína ; Petelen, Ivan (referee) ; Žalmanová, Petra (referee) ; Ing.Petr Karásek (referee) ; Šindlar, Jiljí (advisor)
This thesis explores the relationship between architecture and the blind people. For better clarity and understanding of the topic, The work has been divided into five distinctive parts. In the first, introduction part, I approach space sensation of a blind person from the physiological and psychological angle. This analysis is very important for the understanding of imagination, which the blind person has. Another important fact to understand is the way in which the blind person gets the information about the space and what is his ability to process it. Further, I explain the basic principles of the blind person’s movement through space and describe instructions of how to help blind people in the concrete spatial situations. In the next part, I give a short information about the historical progress of the relation between the society and the blind people. An important fact is that, as late as 200 years ago, the blind people were considered as “sub men” and did not have the full freedom privilege. This relation has been modified over time and nowadays, the blind people have the freedom of movement and all the rights to enjoy their lives. To meet the needs of the blind people, many associations have been created that act on their behalf. The associations have different modes of functioning, but their common goal is to help blind people with their social rehabilitation, looking for employment and removing architectural barriers. The core of my work is divided into two parts. In the first one, I focus on the problematic of the blind people and architecture from the functional aspect. The functional aspect is vital for the blind people. It corresponds to their safety in the environment. In this chapter, I treat in detail basic elements for designing buildings, for specifying barriers and principles of design for blind people. Furthermore, I describe the help tools the blind people need in order to move in the space. I evaluate the future of these tools and indicate the rapid technological progression which makes the life of blind people more comfortable. In the next part, I focus on the problematic of the blind people and architecture from the aesthetic aspect. This question has not been much explored yet, but is, nonetheless, very important. In this part of my work, I use more my personal experience and the knowledge coming from the exploration of space. Aesthetical values are subjective for all the people, with or without a handicap. Therefore, in this final chapter, I try to note the facts that can be used in the process of the aesthetical perception and to reflect on them. In the domain of aesthetical research, there also exist tools and institutions that help blind people in their comprehension of architecture. The division of my work emerged from the compilation of diverse facts in the process of writing. This thesis has an informative and practical character. It is intended for people who want to understand and to be informed about how to design architecture for the blind people. It will be directed towards people who build this kind of architecture and need an overview of how to make it. It is also intended for people interested in learning more about architecture.

Characterization of Metals in Atmospheric Aerosol
Cigánková, Hana ; Ličbinský, Roman (referee) ; Vojtíšek,, Michal (referee) ; Krajčovič, Jozef (advisor)
The presented doctoral thesis deals with the characterization of elements in two size fractions of urban aerosol, which was sampled in all seasons on the terrace of the Institute of Analytical Chemistry of the CAS in Brno in 2018. The theoretical part of the thesis summarizes the basic information about the analysis and health risks of atmospheric aerosol and metals bound to aerosol. Furthermore, the work describes methods for determining the inhalation bioaccessibility of aerosol particles and methods used for the determination of oxidative potential. The first part of the thesis describes in detail the sampling and analysis of urban aerosol particles. The mass concentration of both aerosol size fractions and the total concentration of 21 elements were determined. The probable sources of the analysed elements were calculated using the enrichment factor and positive matrix factorization. The second part of the thesis deals with the determination of the oxidative potential of the aerosol and bioaccessible concentration of the analysed elements in three simulated lung fluids (deionized water, simulated alveoli fluid, Gamble solution). In addition to determining the oxidative potential of real samples, the oxidative potential of individual elements was also analysed. From the obtained results was calculated the probable contribution of the elements to the measured oxidative potential.

Possibilities of determining the origin of the wine from the element composition
Škařupa, Přemysl ; Gregor,, Tomáš (referee) ; Diviš, Pavel (advisor)
The aim of this diploma thesis was to evaluate the possibility of determining the origin of the wine on the basis of elemental composition. For this purpose an analysis of major and minor elements was accomplished in selected varieties of wines. In total, 48 parameters for six wine subregions in Bohemia and Moravia was determined and used. The sum of 35 parameters represented the concentration of selected elements and other 13 parameters were created from the measured values. The concentration of elements was determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). For the purpose of classification of samples into groups multivariate statistical methods were used. The measured data set was firstly separated using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and discriminant analysis (DA). It has been proved that the selected variables influence the distribution of wines into categories according to their geographic location. Canonical discriminant analysis, principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis has been used for graphical projection. Simultaneously the model based on our analysis was created to enable classify an unknown sample of wine according to the origin.

Polná ideal, the castle and under the castle
Kapraľová, Kristína ; Sedlák, Jan (referee) ; Kiszka, Josef (advisor)
The aim of the work is regeneration and reclamation of the main formal places and points in the Polna town, on the level of the town (part of the town), the castle complex and the main court. Using the town acupuncture method and focusing on the main and the most important parts, I created the system of segments (plateaus), which like the separate elements create the appearance of the town as a whole. In my diploma thesis I focused on segment of castle complex. Using the gradual regeneration of the main formally important places and points, I created its overall “ideal” condition. The result of my work is the design of alternative use of castle complex and castle court elements.

Aristoxenus of Tarentum - a study on the work Elementa Harmonica
Langhammerová, Gabriela ; Hladký, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Šíma, Antonín (referee) ; Švantner, Martin (referee)
The thesis deals with an Ancient Greek work Elementa Harmonica (Harmonic Elements) written by Aristoxenus of Tarentum and to the same extent with the contexts of the creation of this work. Elementa is primarily a musical-theoretical work, focused mainly on specific parts of which music, and more specifically, melody, consist. There is a huge and thorough description of particular elements including those who tried to deal with the same matter before Aristoxenus himself. Therefore, Elementa are amongst other a very valuable source of collected knowledge concerning both musical theory, methodology and musical practice provided by Aristoxenus' predecessors. However, Elementa have also an interesting methodological approach, combining mathematical (which means basically Pythagorean) and peripathetical (predominantly Aristotelian) attitudes in a unique synthesis leading to an establishment of a brand new position of musical-theoretical research. This thesis shall provide an analysis of the main constituting branches and its further implications. Key words: Aristoxenus of Tarentum, ancient music theory, Elementa Harmonica, methodology of science, history of science, Pythagorean tradition, peripatos, melody, elements

Basic urine laborator examination
HAMOUZOVÁ, Kateřina
In this bachelor thesis I deal with the basic urine examination in the laboratory of clinical biochemistry. The bachelor thesis is mainly focused on the examination of urine chemically and the examination of urinary sediment. An essential part of the bachelor thesis is to approach public with the course of biological material examination in the laboratory. This work could be benefit for students or general public as an enghlitement of basic laboratory analysis of urine. Mainly in order to collect data which show the importance of testing, whether chemical or microscopic. The theoretical part briefly describes kidneys and their vascular supply. The division into primary and secondary urine is part of the chapter "Urine formation". Urine collection can be found in the same chapter. In the next chapter I present the chemical composition of urine. Urine composition plays an important role without any doubt in determining the patient's health. Furthermore, I characterize physical urine examination, which is an integral part of the basic urine examination. The next chapter is called Chemical examination of urine". Today, urine chemistry is performed through diagnostic strips. Last but not least, urine is examined microscopically. This examination is discussed in the "Penultimate chapter". In the last chapter I describe basic information about urinary stones. The methodology describes the procedure and principle of how to properly perform urine testing in the laboratory, whether chemically or microscopically. At the end of thecase report, the obtained data of analytes in the urine, which outlines the importance of the examined biological material.

Analysis of causality between development tools and development
NOVÁKOVÁ, Petra
In this bachelor's thesis we give an overview of the development of gymnastics tools and reports with a focus on asymmetric bars. The most tumultuous development of all kinds of gymnastic tools is the asymmetric bars of women after the Second World War. From male parallel bars we gradually switched to exercise on asymmetric bars. The exercise was initially rather static. Later the exercise on asymmetric bars was characterized by technically and dynamically perfect execution of elements and frequent alternation of transition from one bar to another. The first chapter of the bachelor thesis briefly discusses the history of gymnastics. The second chapter describes the development of the construction on asymmetric bars. The third chapter describes the development of elements, reports and rules on asymmetric bars. Most information was drawn from professional periodicals and literature dealing with specific issues in the period.

The Roundness of the Crystal
MOLÍKOVÁ, Veronika
The thesis uncovers latent relations binding Maurice Merleau-Ponty´s theory of perception and Gaston Bachelard´s theory of reverie. Through finding the common basis of both modes of experiencing the world - through outlining the interaction of the flesh and imagination whose purpose was to clarify Bachelard´s confused, nontransparent concept of r?verie - the thesis focuses on the works by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch. The brief interpretation aims to look at Munch´s work through the prism of Bachelard´s especially elemental oneiric pictures and follow their "crystallization" both in literary and fine arts line. Fundamental root system nourishing "the corpus of the explanation" becomes a dialectic of heights and precipices (it is treated in Bachelard´s books Air and dreams and Earth and Reveries of Will) whose tension, which is like an invisible stream, imprints the rhythm to whole Munch´s magnum opus. Thus, both the motive of vertigo and the mirror glint of the fear of fall, the motive of lust for disembodiment, release from the confinement of "metabolism", liberation from "incarnation of the subject" takes a relevant position in this vertical range. The final chapter then literally "completes the circle" by the insight of phenomenology of roundness. The phenomenon of a line becomes a relevant medium that sketches links of both halves of the thesis and through which a defence of vision as in essence performative act is constructed. The character of line acquires the value of a key unlocking possibility to apply the Bachelardian method to the art of visual type, uncovers implicit possibility of epiphany of oneiric pictures in fine arts - it shows, that painting is not spiritless flat dispassionate mimesis, but it contents affective invisible dimension.
