Cultural Policy Amidst Disputed Memory: Cultural Sector Impacts in Kosovo and Nagorno-Karabakh
Conyers, Heather ; Brisku, Adrian (advisor) ; Asavei, Maria Alina (referee)
The cultural heritage sector's role in ethnic conflict is a direct reflection of the official narrative i tis trying to convey. The challenges these sectors face under various challenges are a topic of academic discussion as it relates to various other theoretical aspects. Previous research has indicated themes of antagonism, primordialism, and perennialism within national narratives surrounding ethnci conflict and territorial disputes. The international response has been varied in these situations and intercultural dialogu eis largely fascilitated by outside organisations. This thesis examines primary and secondary sources relating to the conflicts in Nagorno Karabakh and Kosovo. Examples are presented reflecting the cultural heritage landscape in both cases. Nagorno Karabakh and Kosovo are then compared and assesed for similairites and differences. This thesis found that the cultural heritage sector in both regions were similair in terms of context, myths, and antagonistic commemorations, but differeed regarding jurisdiction and application.

The Effect of Cultural and Natural Heritage on Tourism Attractiveness in Slovakia
Kling, Alexander ; Šťastná, Lenka (advisor) ; Kantová, Klára (referee)
The Effect of Cultural and Natural Heritage on Tourism Attractiveness in Slovakia Abstract This thesis questions a traditional understanding of cultural and natural heritage as two of the main determinants of tourism attractiveness. The motivation to write it was that in Slovakia, there are multiple locations with plentiful natural and cultural monuments, but since some of them are popu- lar tourist destinations, the others are relatively unknown from the tourism perspective. Based on the review of the existing academic literature, the au- thor understands the concept of attractiveness as a phenomenon composed of the attributes of a certain attraction or location and tourists' perception of the destinations. Therefore, the models connect both aspects of the tourism system - supply and demand for tourism. The dependent variable repre- senting demand is the number of visitors in accommodation establishments per district in 2018 or this value per capita. The main independent vari- ables are the number of national cultural monuments and national natural monuments and reserves, the variables typical for a tourism product. De- spite the estimates of their effects seem to be clearly positive and significant, especially for nature, before including additional explanatory variables and their logarithmic...

The Cave
Šindelářová, Alice ; Maixner, Miroslav (referee) ; Klímová, Barbora (advisor)
A processional project dealing with the cave phenomenon in connection with a prehistoric art. It follows up with the beginning of art and its interpretations. I examine issues of preservation and care of cultural heritage. I consider forms of presentation of archaeological finds and artifacts within museum exhibitions and collections. Through successive steps by studying literature, field research I conceive the final work, which reflects the theme of the cave and bridges the arc of time from prehistory to the present.

Interesting things of French regions - Auvergne
Křivánková, Jitka ; Kalfiřtová, Eva (advisor) ; Klinka, Tomáš (referee)
The titel of the thesis: Interesting things of French regions - Auvergne This thesis deals with one of the metropolitan French regions, the region of Auvergne. It is primarily occupied with its interesting things and curiosities, which make it different from other regions. What is more, this thesis is concerned with the didactic application of the life and institutions of this region in the teaching of the French language. The aim of the thesis is therefore to introduce the region of Auvergne with all its regional interesting things and curiosities in a well arranged way and subsequently to suggest its didactic processing and to include it in the teaching of the French language. The didactic processing offers suggestions of various activities for different target groups of learners. As sources for this thesis have been used primarily books and publications focusing on French regions and the didactics of life and institutions, as well as current internet sources. The didactic processing of the life and institutions was mainly based on the praxis and creativity of the author. The thesis includes twelve chapters. The introductory chapter is followed by the second chapter, which introduces the region as a whole unit. The third chapter speaks about the natural conditions of the region. In the fourth...

Digital Image Processing of Cross-section Samples
Beneš, Miroslav ; Zitová, Barbara (advisor) ; Matula, Pavel (referee) ; Pelagotti, Anna (referee)
The thesis is aimed on the digital analysis and processing of micro- scopic image data with a focus on cross-section samples from the artworks which fall into cultural heritage domain. It contributes to solution of two different problems of image processing - image seg- mentation and image retrieval. The performance evaluation of differ- ent image segmentation methods on a data set of cross-section images is carried out in order to study the behavior of individual approaches and to propose guidelines how to choose suitable method for segmen- tation of microscopic images. Moreover, the benefit of segmenta- tion combination approach is studied and several distinct combination schemes are proposed. The evaluation is backed up by a large number of experiments where image segmentation algorithms are assessed by several segmentation quality measures. Applicability of achieved re- sults is shown on image data of different origin. In the second part, content-based image retrieval of cross-section samples is addressed and functional solution is presented. Its implementation is included in Nephele system, an expert system for processing and archiving the material research reports with image processing features, designed and implemented for the cultural heritage application area. 1
