A Comparison of Plotinus's and St. Augustine's Conception of Evil
Košová, Michaela ; Němec, Václav (advisor) ; Novák, Lukáš (referee)
This bachelor thesis is concerned with Plotinus's and Augustine's conception of evil and its main aim is to compare both views and reveal which Plotinus's thoughts inspired Augustine and at which points he had to divert from Plotinus. The key question is in what way both philosophers attempt to answer the question about ontological status and origin of evil. While examining the differences between both conceptions it will be importatnt to explain them with regard to different metaphysical concepts which constitute Plotinus's and Augustine's thinking. First part of the thesis investigates in what sense in Plotinus's theory matter - the last point of emanation of reality from the One - is the principle of evil. Later we encounter tolma, certain illegitimate audacity to become independent from the higher levels which is present in the soul and also at the very emergence of reality as such from the One. However, since soul has a divine origin, it cannot really sin. Plotinus ascribes the ultimate responsibility for evil to matter, utter privation and form of non-being, which can act as a sort of trap for the soul. In the second part we will see that thanks to neoplatonic thinking Augustine too perceives evil as privation but he ascribes its origin to a free decision of created, and thus mutable rational...

Physical Simulation of a Cloth
Vavro, Ondrej ; Seeman, Michal (referee) ; Navrátil, Jan (advisor)
Thesis covers problematics of simulating cloth(textile) behaviour under different conditions. It explains basic principles used in construction of cloth computer model, describes inner and outer forces that act on cloth and shows different integration methods that forward simulation in time from the view of suitability and speed when used on cloth simulation. Work also includes description of implementation of a demo application in which is part of these problematics tested.

Physical Simulation of a Cloth
Řehánek, Martin ; Juránek, Roman (referee) ; Navrátil, Jan (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis concerns with simulation of material in real time. By material we mean the textile. Firstly, it will explains principle of simulation in textile, where the system of springs is used. Secondly, it will explains mathematical and physical basics needed for simulation and then describes implementation of simulation itself. In a final part the achieved results are evaluated.

The theory of common nature of Thomas Aqvinas in the treatise De ente et essentia
BUZKOVÁ, Markéta
The work deals with theory of common nature and universals of Aquinas in the treatise De ente et essentia. In first part is defined conceptual foundation based on Aristotelian and Avicennian concepts of essence and existence. Avicenna defines two ways how can be essence considered. First it is absolute consideration of the essence and second the essence considered as it has being. Thomas Aquinas develops his notion of essence in a quite noticeable Avicennian framework. In the second part are presented the theory of common nature by St. Thomas. The theory is based on the essence considered as it has being, we can found it in rational soul.
