The neuropsychological correlates of emotions
TESAŘ, Michael
The presented thesis deals with localization of emotions and its processing according to visual emotional stimuli from IAPS. It uses EEG analysis and non-parametric statistics Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA, Wilcoxon's t-test. Results confirm hemispherical asymmetry theories and it was found a new localization of the neutral emotion in the left frontal alpha EEG asymmetry, which is not clearly described by other authors. Processing of emotions shows that complex affective reaction of positive and negative emotions is not significantly resolved; reversely the biggest resolving is the first processing time exposition automatic affective reaction. Acquisitions of the thesis are providing crucial theoretical knowledge for further EEG and emotion research, describing localization of the neutral emotions in the frontal cortex and processing of emotions in affective reaction to visual stimulation.

Large model simulations in molecular dynamics problems
Pelikán, Vladimír ; Hora, Petr ; Machová, Anna
Molecular dynamics simulation is a well-established techniquefor modelling complex many-particle systems in diverse areas of physics andchemistry. The computational requirements of simulations of large systems,especially when taking into account long-range interactions, are enormous.Two basic tasks in molecular dynamics simulation are surface relaxation andheating. Both of these tasks are studied in this contribution.

Analysis of a Selected Business Firm and Future Development Suggestion
KVASNICA, Petr
The Diploma thesis called ?Analysis of a Selected Business Firm and Future Development Suggestion? deals with the theory and practice of business management strategy. The theoretical part defines general procedure of business strategy and management, which is the basis for strategic plan creation. The practical part describes an actual well-established medium enterprise, presents a complex analysis of external environment, or its surroundings, and internal environment, or its internal sources and abilities. A SWOT analysis is realized based on the facts consequent upon the enterprise analysis. Thus we can compare the existing strategy and plans of the enterprise to the suggested solution.

Algorithms for solving of special knapsack problems and their computational complexity
Sem, Štěpán ; Ivánek, Jiří (advisor) ; Kalčevová, Jana (referee)
The thesis deals with knapsack problems variants and possibility of their solving, furthermore with the impact of particular task (instance) special structure on the effciency of tested approach. The thesis also proposes conversion possibility between described tasks and their continuous extension (continuous relaxation). It describes L3 algorithm and superdecreasing knapsack problem solving from the common sort of algorithms and Monte Carlo Method, simulated annealing and genetic algorithms from the sort of probability ones. Other possibilities are also discussed. Integral part of this thesis is the accompanying application, which was used to create groundwork used in the text and which can be also used to solve other instances.

Marketing of the private clinic Santé
Herlesová, Hana ; Koudelka, Jan (advisor) ; Cinek, Miroslav (referee)
This master thesis is focused on marketing of Santé, the private clinic. The first part is theoretical and has two main chapters. Marketing in the field of health care is the first chapter, including the differences between health care marketing and marketing in other fields and other characteristics of the medical system. Next a product is defined, in health care it is the provided service. Marketing mix is described not as 4P but as 4C. Then there is the practical point of view on the health care system. Very important is the patients' satisfaction, which is measured by many different surveys, such as the best hospital, or quality perceived by the patients. The other chapter discusses used methods, defines marketing research and the S-T-P strategy. The practical part of thesis introduces the company Santé followed by the description of their clientele, which is differentiated as individual and companies' clientele. Marketing mix of the company consists of the 4 components already mentioned higher. Next is the SWOT analysis. Analysis of the competition focused on the main competitors of Santé. Very significant moment is the research project created to suit the needs of this thesis only. A complex questionnaire researching the privet clinic market as a whole was prepared. Analysis of the data was complex as well. Open questions were analyzed separately, closed questions were processed with the help of SPPS computer program. By the end of the thesis there are some recommendations for the company that originate in the research project and also from the confrontation of the theory and practice. Last is the conclusion, bibliography and the annex, where you can find already mentioned questionnaire.

QRS complex detection in long electrograms
Novotná, Petra ; Hejč, Jakub (referee) ; Kozumplík, Jiří (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the detection of the QRS complexes in long electrograms which were acquired by scanning isolated rabbit hearts. The first section of this thesis contains information about general detection principles. Some of those principles are de- scribed into details in the fourth chapter. The practical part consists of: the introduction of processed data, the description of specific algorithms used while solving the task and the realisation of those algorithms in the language of technical computing (MATLAB).

Media and society in Japan : the character and transformation of media, communication and mediapolitical complex in a non-western society
Pruša, Igor ; Kraus, Jiří (advisor) ; Sýkora, Jan (referee) ; Rostinský, Joseph N. (referee)
The general aim of this thesis is to contribute to a deeper understanding of the Japanese media and communication in contemporary society. It also hopes to widen the integrated and internationalized framework for understanding the universal dynamism and complexity of media and their audiences in context of global technological and cultural transformation. Our research is mostly a cross-disciplinary integration of media & communication studies and Japanese philology. The starting point of this thesis is focused on the summary of theoretical knowledge about the "de-westernization of media studies" which presents an attempt to step out of the originally Anglo-American media communication paradigm, where mainly American theories and approaches have been widely used to explain global media processes and communication patterns. Informed by the de-westernized perspective, we focus on the case of Japanese society, its reception of texts within everyday cultural practices and media routines, since these serve as platforms where ideological features are embedded, reproduced and maintained. We also deal with specific cultural forms of constructing and understanding of Self, and Group in Japanese society, since these notions are again reflected in some patterns of Japanese interpersonal (verbal/nonverbal)...

Improvement of CO2 eddy fluxes modelling in topographically complex terrain
Šigut, Ladislav
Annual sums of net ecosystem exchange (NEE) estimated by eddy covariance method (EC) are often used for comparisons among sites. But application of EC in topographically complex terrain restrains application of standard methods for their estimation. Analysis of friction air velocity response of night-time CO2 fluxes and estimation of mean daily ecosystem respiration from daytime NEE showed that night-time data and fluxes measured early after sunrise or late before sunset are not sufficiently reliable for computation of accurate annual sums of NEE. Therefore presented method takes into account auxiliary soil chamber measurements and applies correction factor in ecosystem respiration model calibrated to biomass inventory results. Also automated algorithm for computation of light response curve parameters in constrained range was established. This method produced accurate annual sums of NEE that were only 7.2% ± 5.2 higher than values determined by biomass inventory method.
