The effect of headphone and loudspeaker reproduction on classical music mix balance
Hadraba, Jakub ; ZIKMUND, Tomáš (advisor) ; SYROVÝ, Václav (referee)
Primary focus of the dissertation is comparison of loudspeaker and headphone reproduction and its influence on the mix balance of classical music recordings.
A listening test, which represents an essential part of the thesis, was performed on a test group of sound engineers who prepared mixes of selected recordings using both loudspea-kers and headphones. An analysis of the resulting mixes was performed to find out if any systematic changes could be detected between headphone and loudspeaker mixes. The results disclosed a systematic change in preference of reverberation. Individual approaches of the sound engineers are documented by an extensive graphical section of the thesis. Level of stability of the individual models has been examined using repeated testing on selected participants.
Selected headphone and loudspeaker mixes have been further evaluated by a listening group in a second listening test. Differences between the mixes were judged using both loudspeakers and headphones. Answers of the participants were analysed to see if there was an increased preference of headphone mixes when judged using headphones and vice versa. The results didn't show significant preference changes based on type of reproduction. The selected mixes weren't found to be "more optimal" when listened to on their respective reproduction device, nor could they be identified based on the subjective preference test.
A special part is devoted to evaluation of an internet-based survey featuring a statistical documentation of loudspeaker and headphone usage in todays music recording industry. Special look has been taken at the group of respondents who indicated classical music as primary music genre of their profession. Another theoretical part of the thesis covers the artistic and technical approach of sound engineers to classical music sound image creation, including commonly used technical resources and stylization methods.

The Concept of Discipline in Ancient Philosophy and Drama
Richtrová, Eva ; Blažková, Miloslava (advisor) ; Hauser, Michael (referee)
Prvotní předpoklad, který měl vést vymezení role řádu v antické filosofii a dramatu, byl realizován prostřednictvím děl Aristotela, rozborem tragédie od Sofokla a Euripida v komparaci s komedií od Menandra. Řád byl postupně vymezen ve vztahu k mýtu, v metafyzickém a etickém smyslu. Ukázal se také jeho vztah estetice, kde se vyjevuje jako jakýsi model pro výstavbu dramatu. Rovněž ho můžeme zachytit v tragédii a komedii, kde se konkretizuje v podobě nejvyššího zákona. Lidskou bytost zabývající se v mýtem, může svým způsobem považována za "filosofa", který se osobitým způsobem snaží popsat dění ve světě, jež ho obklopuje. Jeho pochopení všech souvislostí je však do značné míry naivní, protože přírodní jevy a zákonitosti vykládá prostřednictvím antropomorfních představ. Mýtus vypovídá o tom, že svět kolem nás je plný záhad, které dokážeme v rámci vlastního uspokojení ne vždy zcela úspěšně vyřešit. Teprve pozvolna se údiv člověka transformoval ve schopnost odpovídat na otázky, které před něj staví příroda, bez pomoci božského zásahu do lidského světa.
