Lifting Scheme Cores for Wavelet Transform
Bařina, David ; Kälviäinen, Heikki (referee) ; Sojka, Eduard (referee) ; Zemčík, Pavel (advisor)
Práce se zaměřuje na efektivní výpočet dvourozměrné diskrétní vlnkové transformace. Současné metody jsou v práci rozšířeny v několika směrech a to tak, aby spočetly tuto transformaci v jediném průchodu, a to případně víceúrovňově, použitím kompaktního jádra. Tohle jádro dále může být vhodně přeorganizováno za účelem minimalizace užití některých prostředků. Představený přístup krásně zapadá do běžně používaných rozšíření SIMD, využívá hierarchii cache pamětí moderních procesorů a je vhodný k paralelnímu výpočtu. Prezentovaný přístup je nakonec začleněn do kompresního řetězce formátu JPEG 2000, ve kterém se ukázal být zásadně rychlejší než široce používané implementace.

Pina Bausch's dance theatre
Faustová, Markéta ; Augustová, Zuzana (referee) ; Christov, Petr (advisor)
Pina Bausch and the dance company Tanztheater Wuppertal inherently belong together. The choreographer became the head of this German dance company in 1973 and has led it since up today. She has never created choreography for any other dance group or other dancer. During this thirty-five years' connection the company moved among the top dance groups and stili achieve success worldwide. lt was and stili is an inspiration for many young authors. lt is a history, but also the presence at the same time. Right from the beginning of her career, Pina Bausch indicated that her work was going to be exceptional. For her, there were no barriers, neither in formulation of themes, nor in use of means of expression. She organically connected dance and theatre in her works and thus created a new art genre, which theoreticians call dance theatre. She managed to unite a multi-national group of twenty-six members, with which she worked very closely in preparation of particular pieces. Especially at the beginning, the dancers were forced to personally engage into each choreography. Preparation of a performance consisted in so-called principle of questions. Pina Bausch wanted her dancers to answer her questions by improvising a little dance or theatre sketch. Then, she was choosing from this amount of mate rial to form a base...

Intrusion Detection in Network Traffic
Homoliak, Ivan ; Čeleda, Pavel (referee) ; Ochoa,, Martín (referee) ; Hanáček, Petr (advisor)
Tato práce se zabývá problematikou anomální detekce síťových útoků s využitím technik strojového učení. Nejdříve jsou prezentovány state-of-the-art datové kolekce určené pro ověření funkčnosti systémů detekce útoků a také práce, které používají statistickou analýzu a techniky strojového učení pro nalezení síťových útoků. V další části práce je prezentován návrh vlastní kolekce metrik nazývaných Advanced Security Network Metrics (ASNM), který je součástí konceptuálního automatického systému pro detekci průniků (AIPS). Dále jsou navrženy a diskutovány dva různé přístupy k obfuskaci - tunelování a modifikace síťových charakteristik - sloužících pro úpravu provádění útoků. Experimenty ukazují, že použité obfuskace jsou schopny předejít odhalení útoků pomocí klasifikátoru využívajícího metriky ASNM. Na druhé straně zahrnutí těchto obfuskací do trénovacího procesu klasifikátoru může zlepšit jeho detekční schopnosti. Práce také prezentuje alternativní pohled na obfuskační techniky modifikující síťové charakteristiky a demonstruje jejich použití jako aproximaci síťového normalizéru založenou na vhodných trénovacích datech.

From Radioart to Musical Theatre
Jiřička, Lukáš ; KLÍMA, Miloslav (advisor) ; NOVOTNÝ, Pavel (referee)
This dissertation From Radioart to Musical Theatre aims at showing connections between seemingly different fields ? mainly sound-drama radioart, which in German is called Hörspiel, and musical theatre. In my dissertation, I try to define the characteristics as well as structural principles of text, space, sound, voice, acting, music and body in these transdisciplinary forms and genres, which have never retained any kind of purity in the traditional sense.In the analytical and introductory historical part of my dissertation, various seemingly different areas were introduced and discussed. These areas were musical or sound theatre in its general as well as specific form and its interrelation with sound installations, performance, radioart in form of Hörspiel, musical composition and sound art. In the following chapters, I used examples of several pivotal personalities from the German speaking area skilled in musical composition as well as directing and dramatics to present for instance the influence of musical structure on composition and other performing activities or the relationship of dramatic or literary model to its scenographic adaptation. The whole issue of relationships of disparate art forms is being showed on the examples of several artists ? directing composers who create these links thanks to their activity in various fields, as they intertwine musical and performing worlds on the level of structure, motifs and dramatics. The creators of such heterogeneous artworks using the strategy of the so-called negative dramatics are inherently split personalities - Heiner Goebbels, Helmut Oehring, Olga Neuwirth and Andreas Ammer. Goebbels as well as Oehring, Neuwirth and Ammer are able to make use of their experience with musical composition and/or work for the radio in the creation of musical performances in the way that they let particular composition techniques and staging be freely influenced by the knowledge of other media. Besides the above mentioned group of artists, I mention also other significant authors from the 20th and 21st century, who dealt with radioart, musical composition, collage and montage, performance and musical theatre - Bertolt Brecht, Dziga Vertov, Emil František Burian, Walter Ruttmann, John Cage, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Dieter Schnebel, Georg Katzer, Friedrich Schenker, FM Einheit či Laurie Anderson and Georges Aperghis. Without the influence of the last fifty year-history of radioart, musical theatre would certainly not be such an important form of alternative theatre and performing art as such. Especially nowadays, when thanks to the emancipation and stressing of sound at the expense of acting a new stage language is being created within musical theatre, and the form itself transforms into yet little analysed field of the so-called postspectacular or mechanical theatre without actors.

Comparison of five principle types of the Noh plays
Burešová, Lucie ; Tirala, Martin (referee) ; Švarcová, Zdeňka (advisor)
The bachelor thesis Comparison of the Five Principle Types of the Noh Plays deals with the traditional classification of Japanese plays No according to the characteristic role the main actor shite performs. Following this classification it proceeds to the analysis of five plays: Tsurukame (Crane and Tortoise), Atsumori, Hagoromo (The Feather Mantle), Semimaru and Funa Benkei (Benkei on the Boat). The author's approach is based more on performance art theories than linguistics, the main criterion being the dramatic development of each play according to jo-ha-kyu system, considering characterization of the role during the play. The thesis is based on Japanese librettos yokyoku, script translations in to main European languages and video s of theatre performances.

Efficiency of vocational retraining for long term unemployed job-seekers
BEČVÁŘOVÁ, Klára
Unemployment is a long term problem of the present society. For many people, finding a new job is complicated because of some kind of handicap. Such handicaps include age, gender, lack of qualification, or even belonging to certain minority group. In these cases, people remain unemployed for a longer time, which leads to further devaluation of the human capital. Employment offices try to help their job-seekers using active employment policy instruments. This paper is then focused on the vocational retraining instrument in relation to long term unemployed. The objective of the paper is to establish efficiency of vocational retraining and the factors that influence it. The technique of secondary analysis of public documents of the Employment Office in Písek for the period 2005 through 2010 was chosen for the performance of the research. The research has shown that short-term unemployed having secondary education with school-leaving examination (SSLC) and younger age groups (up to 30 years of age) are more often placed in vocational retraining. On the contrary, members of the group of job-seekers with low ? primary education and/or aged over 50 is very rarely placed in vocational retraining. Yet lack of qualification and higher age are risk factors for long term unemployment origination. If these two factors are joined also with very long unemployment (over 1 year), there is a minimum chance to participate in vocational retraining. The positive effects of vocational retraining for long term unemployed include that they have large chance of placement in the labour market within 6 months. Selection for vocational retraining is performed on the basis of cooperation of the labour provision consultant with the job-seeker. Unfortunately, there is noticeable tendency to select rather the less problematic and better motivated job-seekers. Consequently, the approach to clients should change and those who really need help should be targeted.

A philosophical postulate about the signifikance of the art of theatre in the 21st century
Hlava, Nina ; Hybner, Boris (advisor) ; Petišková, Ladislava (referee) ; Hyvnar, Jan (referee)
In my work I place a sociocritical light on the inherent events on the stage in the 21st century. I address topics such as cynicism and decadence and point out that the art of performing leads to ambivalence, and therefore resulting in a diremption in the art of acting. I continue my philosophical discurs in the spirit of perceptionalism and ask the provocative question, has theatre, especially in Europe, become a victim of narcissism and therefore turned its back on its political and sociocritical functions. The use of petitio principii has been helpfull in explaining the paradoxical term of ?physical theatre?. I want to illustrate that this youngest form of theatre shows a tendency of moving away from the social ethics and more towards individual ethics. At the conclusion of my work I confront my pessimistic outlook with an aesthetical approach in which I make an appeal to have confidence and believe in the philosophy of beauty again.

MÍŠEK, Jakub: Analysis of Polyphony of Indigenous People of Solomon
Islands. [Bachelor?s thesis]. Academy of Performing Arts in Prague. Music
Faculty; Department of Music Theory and Music History. Thesis advisor :
prof. Vladimír Tichý, CSc. Degree: Bachelor of Music Theory. Prague :
HAMU, 2011. Pp. 70.
The thesis provides an analytic view of the music of indigenous people of
Solomon Islands which is distinguished by its frequent use of polyphony.
A Czech reader going through the foreign, especially English-written
literature, discovers a frequent use of the word polyphony. The thesis
attempts to decide whether all these cases are entitled to be labelled with
the Czech equivalent of the word polyphony, polyfonie. After a brief
summary of the historical development in the region and depicting the
main features of local musical cultures, the thesis presents nine analyses
of examples of vocal songs coming from the islands of Guadalcanal,
Malaita and Savo, which are focused on issues of melody, rhythm and
structure. The last part deals with questions of homophony, heterophony
and polyphony and explores their relationships and overlaps. Using my
original method of analysis based on perceptual approach, the thesis
proves that the term polyfonie can be used for non-European music.
Keywords: Solomon Islands, ethnomusicology, homophony, heterophony,
polyphony
