An approach providing improvement of test processes is applied in the environment of a test department in a selected company. Concept of raising process capability and maturity presented in CMMI model is used for this purpose. The first goal of the thesis is a provision of theoretical background devoted to software testing, process approach and capability and maturity models, that will accommodate enough with the clarity of the document text, as well as to provide insight into the whole subject. Theoretical interpretation will be compiled using on-line resources available for free, author's bachelor thesis and facts obtained through the studies and from educational materials. Attention will be focused on the definition of important facts and mutual relationship between the areas of interest. Description of initial state, changes carried out and current state of organizational structure, processes and documentation in the test department of the company was selected as a following goal. Process models consisting of diagrams, description tables and textual characteristics of identified processes will be created. Structure of documentation and of its parts will be accentuated through the description of documentation state and changes, furthermore a chronological sequence of taking the documents into practice and explanation of its importance in testing will be present. In order to offer a comprehensive view, a description of organizational structure and department member's competence will be available. As the last goal, arrangement proposal to obtain a higher process maturity and further improvement of documentation and organizational structure was chosen. Process areas and recommendation related to the processes of test discipline will be selected from the CMMI model. The selected content will be interpreted as to form a partial steps for direct use in test department. Appropriate sequence of the steps will also be set to serve well the purposes of the department. Beyond the scope of arrangement proposal, separate recommendations in areas of organizational structure, processes and documentation will be present. The thesis summarizes key facts about and arrangements made in organizational structure, processes and documentation of the test department in the selected company in the period of last two years. The contribution lies further in the creation of so far absent process models of the test department which capture the form of test processes in two points in time, and especially in the complete arrangement proposal aiming to raise process maturity and optimize organizational structure and documentation.

The meaning of this question grows with the developement of new biotechnology as an artificial insemination, an antenatal diagnostics, a miscarriage and a gene therapy. The other important question talks about the mother rights. These questions traditonally pronounce physicians, philosophers, theologians and sociologists of medicine. However special pedagogues should as well think about and participate in discussions about this topic. Special education comes to the new period with currently knowledges of not only human genome. That is why I target the bioethic sphere, different opinions and possibilities of special pedagogue's treating. in my diploma work, because bioethic spere touch the special education. I come out from historical point of view, from attitudes formulated in our history and from society attitudes to disabled individuals. The work of special pedagogues in this area should focus at disabled people and their parents who decided to take care of the child and at people who are just...

In these texts the philosophers present their attitudes and ideas about the meaning, origin and content of the existence of a nation. The results of the comparison show, that their points of view are similar in more than a few aspects and what most importantly bonds their ideas is the moral, spiritual and cultural understanding of the meaning of a nation. Furthermore, they both stress the responsibility of each and every individual part of the society for implementing such ideas into practice.

From component to service
Mareš, Jan ; Gála, Libor (advisor) ; Pavlíčková, Jarmila (referee)
Thesis describes process of changing component into web service, usage of web services and there relation to components. Components are known for many years and they evolved from software modules. There are described tree main technological standards for making components in this thesis, which are Java, .Net and CORBA, and from many component-based development methods and approaches is described one Rational Unified Process. In thesis is described what web service is by describing web service standards. Main standards for web services are SOAP, WSDL, UDDI and standard based on WSDL and few minor standards from companies Sun and Microsoft called WSIT. From developer point of view there are many similarities in web services and components, and it is possible to think of web service as component which communicates using SOAP messages and is using WSDL technology. In practical part of thesis is making of component based on Java 2 Enterprise Edition platform, which serves as chat server. To this component is added interface for using SOAP and WSDL/WSIT, and by this it is changed to web service.

Pathos as a Natural Aspect of Film Narration
Soukupová, Irena ; VAJCHR, Marek (advisor) ; MRAVCOVÁ, Marie (referee)
In my work I deal with a phenomenon that has been discussed widely but still remains elusive pathos.
Pathos bears significances for current society that are not always positive. That is why I am going to try to define it, as well as categorize it. I am going to describe the usage and exploitation of pathos in cinema. I am also going to think of pathos criteria or what it determines - is it still pathos or so called sentiment? Unlike sentiment, pathos has its historical background.
Based on particular films and scenes analysis, I will clearly demonstrate how to work with pathos. I will also show how to create pathos itself altogether with pathetically tuned scenes by means of particular devices of film language.

Metaphors and Analogies in Economics and Economic Education
Langer, Tomáš ; Krpálek, Pavel (advisor) ; Šlosár, Rudolf (referee) ; Pavera, Libor (referee)
Presented thesis explores the ground at the intersection of three topics: education, relational thinking and economics. Within the sphere of economic education it investigates the use of concepts known from (i) conceptual metaphor theory, (ii) psychological model of analogical reasoning, (iii) model of generative learning from educational psychology and (iv) existing research on use of metaphors and analogies in natural sciences education. Thesis shows the potential of metaphorical origin of economic terminology for teaching economic concepts and educational use of economic media content. At the same time it proposes a notation for visualizing metaphorical mappings between domains. It addresses economic interpretation from the viewpoint of the relationship between theoretical economic models and actual economic situations, as well as from the viewpoint of the relationship between mathematical structure of the model and its economic meaning. In the first case, it shows interpretative skill, being framed within the revised Bloom taxonomy, as a complex cognitive task, in the second case it develops model of economic interpretation of mathematical structures on the basis of psychological model of analogical reasoning. In both cases it formulates highlights students should know about the analogical nature of economic models. On the basis of the model of generative learning it develops a set of visual methaphors applicable in the introductory topics of microeconomics and macroeconomics and examines effects of their use in the classes of economics. By undertaking such research it initiates the exploration of paths leading in the directions suggested by the theoretical analysis.
