LGBT Movement in the Czech Republic from an Activist Point of View
Fiala, Jan ; Císař, Ondřej (advisor) ; Tuček, Milan (referee)
The thesis deals with issues of LGBT movement in the Czech Republic in the context of the ongoing campaign "We are fair" for equal marriage. The intention was to try to find out on the basis of in-depth semi-structured interviews with LGBT activists how these activists perceive the status of sexual minorities in the Czech Republic and the related situation of the Czech LGBT movement with regard to its emancipatory potential. It turned out that the activists sensitively perceived the limits of the conditionality of the tolerance of Czech society and that they were aware of the changes in the social and political context in relation to minorities. However, particular minorities are not perceived in the same way by the society, and according to activists, LGBT rights can even be a tool for legitimizing aversion to other minorities, especially religious or ethnic minorities. On the level of reflection on the ongoiong campaign's strategies, activists put the emphasis on political lobbying for equal marriage, with the support of community mobilization and the formation of collective identity defined by the requirement of equal marriage. From the perspective of activists, it is therefore important to balance the professionalized lobbying with grassroots activism. Although, according to activists, the...

Qualitative analysis of laic personality description on the basis of facial morphology
Souhrada, Jan ; Pivoňková, Věra (advisor) ; Poláčková Šolcová, Iva (referee)
This study examines spontanneous, laic personality ratings of face in comparison to following questionnaires: 16 PF, EPQ-R, NEO-PI-R. We've focused on how people spontaneously rate personality from face in relation to traits which are examined by said questionnaires. We tried to discover which traits are part of questionnaires but not included qualiative ratings and vice versa which traits can be found in laic descriptions but not in questionnaires. We used data from previous studies which provided us with two independent data, self-reports and ratings of facial photographs. Ratings were sorted out and compared to questionnaires. Most of the traits from qualiative data were also included in NEO-PI-R, specifically 90,4% of traits from self-reports and 82,90% of peer reports. 16 PF covered 88% and 77,81% of traits, EPQ-R 86% and 75,94% respectively. The least covered factor overall was Self-Reliance (16 PF) which included only 0,4% of all traits from self-reports. We have not found any factor which would be completely neglected in qualiatitve descriptions. Atractivity and physical traits were one of the main traits among those left unclassified. As with atractivity itself there was wide range of traits that we are unsure of how much personality relevant they actually are. Among unclassified traits...

Teen movies and self-reflection of genre
Kárná, Michaela ; Štechová, Markéta (advisor) ; Hladík, Radim (referee)
Diploma thesis "Teen movies and self-reflection of genre." examines if and how the principle of self-reflection of genre is influencing the genre of teen movies and its development. It is based on the theoretical concept from literary theory that sees self-reflection as a means of development and evolution of genre. The research is based on two American teen movies, Princess Diaries and Hunger Games. It employs the use of qualitative research methods, thematic analysis and narrative analysis. Theoretical section of this thesis resumes current sociological concepts of youth and adolescence, the development of American teen movies, the concept of self-reflection as an instrument for development and transformation of genre and ways in which self-reflexion is portrayed or included in cinema. The empirical part constitutes of thematic and narrative analysis of examined films and of comparing found issues with the principle of self-reflection of genre

The observation of qualitative characteristics of adipose tissue in pigs with regard to different live weight and sex
Pospíšilová, Lucie ; Okrouhlá, Monika (advisor) ; Michaela, Michaela (referee)
The aim of this study was to determine, the influence of gender and the live weight on qualitative indicators of adipose tissue. A total of 40 pigs were divided into four groups according to gender (barrows, immunocastrates, young boars and gilts). According to live weight, these individuals were divided into two groups: up to
104.9 kg of live weight and up from 105 kg of live weight.
The influence of gender and live weight on production indicators were examined
as follows: daily feed consumption, average daily gain and conversion ratio, as well
as colour and perforation of fat, fat content of neck, ham, loin and shoulder, fatty acid content and histology of fat cells. Daily food consumption was statistically significant with respect to gender, when the highest consumption was measured in barrows
to 104.9 kg of live weight (3.97 kg) and the lowest consumption was measured in gilts
of the same live weight (3.09 kg). The live weight had significant effect on the average daily gain. It had been proved, that increasing daily gain grew up with live weight.
The lowest daily gain had the immunocastrates from 104.9 kg of live weight (991.43 g) and the highest gain had barrows of live weight above 105 kg (1211.79 g). Furthermore, it was found that the average feed conversion is reduced in pigs above 105 kg of live weight.
Physical quality indicators of fat were not statistically significant, however, according to the test results the lowest values of fat perforation were measured in both cases in barrows in 104.9 kg of live weight (lower 40.39 N upper 52.79 N), indicating that barrows to 104.9 kg of bodyweight have the most delicate fat.
In the study of the fat content in the main meat parts, the most statistically significant differences were in the content of intramuscular fat between genders, namely in slaughter parts of ham and shoulder. The highest content of intramuscular fat in ham was measured in gilts to 104.9 kg of live weight (5.18%) and the lowest content in young boars to 104.9 kg of live weight (0.73%). At the shoulder, the highest intramuscular fat content was measured in barrows to 104.9 kg (2.86%) of live weight and the lowest in gilts to 104.9 kg of live weight (1.79%). Generally, the test results shows, that barrows have the most IMF, whereas the gilts have the lowest.
Regarding to fatty acids content, the most significant differences were measured
in content of saturated fatty acids, where the highest percentage was measured in barrows above 105 kg of live weight (52.15%), contrary the lowest content was measured in young boars to 104.9 kg of live weight (49.2%).
Fat cells histology showed no statistical significance barrows to 104.9 kg of live weight had the largest area of fat cells, while the smallest area of fat cells was detected in young boars of live weight above 105 kg.
Statistical significance for other indicators have not been established.

Indirect air heating
Beneš, Josef ; Adam, Pavel (referee) ; Počinková, Marcela (advisor)
The master Thesis deals with indirect air heating in air handling units. In the theoretical part of the thesis the categories of heat exchangers are defined according to their positioning in ventilation system, used material and type of heat transfer fluid. To the issue of calculating heat exchanges through heat exchangers and description of different kinds of regulation of primary heat transfer fluid is dedicated a separate chapter. The experimental part of the thesis deals with determining performance of current air heat exchanger at set thermal gradient with various heat transfer fluids. In the calculating part of the Thesis, based on measured values, are suggested two possible solutions for use of technological waste heat. Final evaluation of particular solutions was based on the criterion of efficiency usage and implementation investment costs.

The application of artificial substrates for quantitative and qualitative study of macrozoobenthos.
MAČEJ, Jakub
Macrozoobenthos are aquatic invertebrates, usually bigger than approximately 2 mm, living on the bottom. The larvae of aquatic insects (mayflies, midges, caddisflies, etc.), worms, molluscs and crustaceans belong among its most important representatives. The study was performed on a pond channel of the experimental pond system of the FFPW Vodnany. The artificial substrates, made of plastic blocks from biological filters, were installed in five rows of five blocks (replications) to monitor the process of their colonization in order to evaluate their suitability for the monitoring of macrozoobenthos. At weekly intervals, one series of five artificial substrates was sampled to collect colonizing macroinvertebrates for further elaboration (determination, numbers). It was confirmed that under the conditions of a pond canal, the colonization of artificial substrates by benthic animals begins immediately during the first week of their deployment. Species diversity of macrozoobenthos, expressed in number of taxa in successive weeks afterwards was not significantly different. The results proved that artificial substrates are suitable for quantitative and qualitative monitoring of benthic macroinvertebrate assemblage.
