The use of UML diagrams in practice
Rejnková, Petra ; Buchalcevová, Alena (advisor) ; Mackovič, Ondřej (referee)
Unified modelling language UML is a result of a long-time effort to create a unified graphical notation that could be used during object-oriented development of information systems. The main aim of this thesis is to characterize UML 2.0 diagrams and show the examples of their usage in earliest phases of a development of a specific application. Next aim is to unite recommendations concerning diagram modelling and last but not least describe the main features and the development of UML and name changes that occurred in UML 2.0 compared to UML 1.x. The aims of this thesis were reached by studying available theoretical findings and practical recommendations and by consulting the modelled application with their developers and users. The diagrams were created using a trial version of Enterprise Architect 7.1. The contribution of the thesis is in the practical creation of UML diagrams based on previous consultations with the developers and the users of the application and summary of the most important information and best practices, which should be followed. The thesis is divided into two main parts. The first part concentrates on the most important features of UML, its development and comparison of UML 1.x to UML 2.0. The second part describes UML 2.0 diagrams in detail. Each chapter of this part characterizes a chosen diagram and includes recommendations, which should be followed so that the diagram is understandable not only to its creator, but to all people who come into contact with it. Afterwards, the mentioned facts and recommendations are used to create diagrams describing a specific application.

Modern management approaches to Public Sector organizations with a special focus on Public Private Partnership projects
Pavlík, Marek ; Veber, Jaromír (advisor) ; Wokoun, René (referee) ; Dušek, Josef (referee)
This thesis is dedicated to modern management approaches to Public Sector organizations with a special focus on projects of Public Private Partnership. This topic is one of the latest issues not only in the Czech Republic but also in numerous European countries. The public sector and its organizations are going through total modernization in these countries. This results in higher quality and more effective Public Services for citizens. I view this problem from 2 perspectives and ask the following questions which reflect the main hypothesis of this thesis: which modern approaches (tools, methods) are the most often used (intended to be used) including their contributions to higher quality and more effective management of organizations of municipalities in the Czech Republic, how is the principle of Public Private Partnership perceived and used in organizations of municipalities in the Czech Republic (Water sector) including barriers which hinder its use. It has been proven that for achieving higher quality and more effective results in the Public Sector, it is not only suitable but even systematically necessary to use modern tools of organization and management. These tools are nowadays commonly applied in the Public Sector. At the same time it has also been proven that Public Private Partnership can significantly support management in the Public Sector through its own implementation of modern tools. Further widening the use of modern tools of management and cooperation between the Public and the Private Sector is sustained through the spreading of knowledge. This is based on sharing ?good praxis?, transparent legislation and appropriate (procedural) methodology for implementation.

Optimization of supporting services
Fojtík, Aleš ; Kislingerová, Eva (advisor) ; Dvořáček, Jiří (referee) ; Mansfeld, David (referee)
Process optimization became a common practice for vast majority of market oriented companies. However, the focus on supporting services generally starts only after the potential for savings by optimizing the core activities is fully utilized. Emerging trend of passed ten years represents shared services centres, which in fact comprise both of the above components and together with offshoring offer more important cost savings. The aim of the thesis was to prepare a comprehensive material representing a complex overview of the process optimization activities and describe shared services centre as a special option of the optimization that allows maximization of the benefits from optimizing supporting services. The problem, which is being addressed in the thesis, should answer the question if the selection criteria of an optimization project have been influenced by the financial crisis and what is now different. The thesis is in the theoretical part presenting key optimization methods, process mapping techniques as well as recent trends in the optimization and shared service centres area. The market has been importantly impacted by the financial crises and companies re-focus on cost-optimization projects. However, acquiring financial resources became more difficult, which results in the fact that the priority is given to projects which do not require important initial investment and bring cost saving benefits relatively soon. A special attention is dedicated to presenting a clear method for differentiation of supporting services. In the second part is presented an optimization project in a complex and structured way offering a practical guidance of the respective phases, activities performed and pitfalls that may arise in technical or managing aspect of the project. The aim is to present these problematic areas together with measures how to prevent them. For each of the project phases are presented key activities, tools and methods that should mainly contribute to clear idea regarding time and resource planning for process optimization project. The main contribution of the thesis is that it represents a structured material that could be used by management of the company while considering and planning process optimization project. The topic is also presented in a complex way covering both theoretical and practical side of the optimization activities and shared service centres, which is generally not the approach of the authors that either focus on a particular optimization method, project management or theoretical basis of the optimization.

Preschool Children Drawings (developmental aspect of overlap in primary school)
Kašová, Ivana ; Sotáková, Hana (advisor) ; Kucharská, Anna (referee)
The thesis deals with the developmental period of preschool-aged and early school- aged children and their drawing of a figure. The theoretical part describes the children's development at this time and also their developmental oddities and determinants that influence the development. It follows up the children's drawing, its developmental stages and especially the drawing of a human figure. The practical part focuses on the drawing of a human figure created by children in kindergartens and elementary schools. It's divided into two stages. At the first stage there is the drawing evaluated according to the Draw-a-person Test written in 1982 by J. Šturm and M. Vágnerová. The discovered values are interpreted from the qualitative and quantitative point of view. The attention is paid to remarkable events at the second stage. The practical part validates or disproves given hypotheses. The whole dissertation, its contribution to research and use for pedagogical workers are summarized in the conclusion. Key words: Preschool-age, early school-age, children's development, development of a drawing, drawing of a human figure, draw-a-person test, evaluation, case study

The Czech translations of Rilke's "Sonette an Orpheus"
Otterová, Michaela ; Tvrdík, Milan (referee) ; Stromšík, Jiří (advisor)
Since the personalities of the translators and their methods are so different, it is difficult to compare the six translations of poems by Rilke. Nevertheless common characteristics can be found. First of all, everyone keeps the original form of the sonnet. This statement seems less trivial when we think of the French translation praxis, where transformation of poetry to prose is a standard. We might also think of Jakub Deml, who (due to lack of time) poeticized a small choice from the Book of Images in prose. The fact that Czech translators usually stick to the original poetic form attests both the high level of the tradition of translation in this country and the creative ambition of Czech mediators. On the other hand we can observe a certain indifference towards the Rilke-scholarship among the six translators. It could be proved that Renč knew the monograph on Rilke by Holthusen, it however didn't have any impact on his translation. This kind of deficiency is even more obvious in Pokorný, who suggest the interpretative approach, yet doesn't know the myth of Orpheus in detail. Vítek is aware of the "intellectual anatomy" of the collection of poems, but he doesn't make any use of this knowledge. Another token of the ignorance of the original texts that the translators have in common is the transformation...

The influence of Federico Zuccari on the education of Italian artists at the end of the 16th and in the 17th century
Vítová, Kateřina ; Konečný, Lubomír (referee) ; Zlatohlávek, Martin (advisor)
Federico Zuccari was a major figure of the Italian history of art in the late 16th 17 century, at a time when culminate efforts to prove higher than the substance of craft arts. One of these efforts was the creation of new artistic institutions, academies of art. Federico Zuccariho is very closely linked with the beginning of their activity. Today's essential objective Academy of Fine Arts, a teaching young artists, was in time of their shaping only secondary function. The development of academies as the first place educational institutions was a major objective of Federico Zuccariho. The most of his theoretical and literary production focuses on the appropriate form of teaching and the necessary level of knowledge (both practical and theoretical) students of Fine Arts. Lectures on the theory of the arts, particularly those that reveal his deepest essence, Disegno, Zuccari considers as necessity for awareness of the role artist new era. Zuccari is in their thoughts also a great systematist and didactics using new methods. Unfortunately, most artistic companies were not yet ready nor mature for his theory. Bad to say, the quantity of his advanced ideas remained only in its infancy realization or even failure in practice at all.
