T.G. Masaryk' s view of the function of religion in the civil society
Horák, Karel ; Pelc, Bogdan (advisor) ; Ovečka, Libor (referee)
ANGLICKÁ ANOTACE DIPLOMA THESIS TITLE: THE OPINION OF TOMÁŠ GARRIGUE MASARYK ON THE FUNCTION OF RELIGION IN THE CIVIL SOCIETY AUTHOR: Karel HORÁK SUPERVISOR: Bogdan PELC ANNOTATION: It is to be stated that the current postmodern Czech society does not pay much attention to the heritage of the first President of the Czechoslovak Republic, Prof. Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, nor it takes much efforts to understand. Moreover, the rising generation has hardly any cognizance, what was the importance of the personality of Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk for our state and for the Czech society. The secularized Czech civil society of the beginning of the 21st century perceives the heritage, left by one of the most important personalities of the Czech, European and world history in his life and works, with certain constraints. The main objective of this thesis is to give a transparent survey of Masaryk's views on the function of religion in a civil society, proceeding from the assumption of a very quest, based on the existing and actual facts that are known about Masaryk's life and work. In the first section, the life story of Prof. Masaryk is described. It is not, however, a pure listing of biographical data. This section aims at "clarifying and illuminating" that nebulous cloud, shrouding the person of T.G.M. for present-day...

The state of CAAD in Czech Republic
Moučka, Jan
Na jaro roku 1990 bylo do Budapešti připraveno mezinárodní "CAAD Forum", na které autor připravil sdělení o stavu východoevropské architektury, urbanismu i CAAD po 40 letech komunistické totality. V Budapešti však vypukla stávka veřejné dopravy. Fórum se proto neuskutečnilo a po prohlídce výstavy se účastníci rozjeli, aniž své referáty mohli přednést a aniž by připravené příspěvky byly publikovány. Autor text sestavil ze své iniciativy, v anglickém znění text využíval pro vstupní informování cizích odborníků, s nimiž se setkal a konsultoval po "sametové revoluci" v Praze.

Laboratory device focused on the switched capacitor circuits
Urban, Lukáš ; Šotner, Roman (referee) ; Petržela, Jiří (advisor)
This Master`s thesis is focused on through acquaintance of principles of the function circuits with switched capaticors and posibility of their application mainly in frequency filters or signal generators. The origin of the switched capacitor circuits is mentioned at the beginning of the work. There are references to the first scientific work and scientists who have dealt with this issue. Maxwell`s idea: lossy element (resistor) replace with lossless element (switched capacitor) in electric circuit, is further described. In the next chapter of this work are listed types of switching capacitors and their use in simple RC filters and in structures of inverted or noninverted integrators and their application in more complex higher order filters. The advantages and disadvantages of SC circuits versus circuit composed of discrete components are shown. It is also listed a simple low-pass switched RC filter implemented with analogue multiplexer 4053. Using the LTC1043 integrated circuit, which structure and properties are described and analyzed in detail in the work, the 1st order aktive or pasive low and high pass filters were designed and subsequently simulated in the computer simulator OrCAD PSpice v.10. Another chapter deals with the integrated circuits higher order filters, structure and properties of the integrated filter LTC1060 are further analyzed here. Except this IC there are mentioned integrated filters commercially less available from the corporations Linear Technology and Maxim. The main objective of thesis was to propose and establish laboratory device and laboratory measurment focused on the switched capacitor circuits. The laboratory device has been designed with integrated circuits LTC1043 and LTC1060, which is demonstrated by using passive and active integrator, 2nd order band-pass and 4th order band-pass with Chebyshevovou approximation.

Decision making in the initial phase of the architectonic project
Moučka, Jan ; Starý, Oldřich (advisor) ; Štursa, Jiří (referee) ; Zich, Otakar (advisor)
Předmětem aspirantské práce byla racionalizace rozhodování v počáteční fázi projektování budov a úprav prostředí, tj. od většinou vágního zadání až po návrh disposice budov. Jako metodu racionálního rozhodování problémů zvolil aspirant formální logiku, teorii grafů, využití počítačů. Obsahem disertace jsou i obecně srozumitelné pasáže, s ohledem na obsah vysokoškolské výuky architektů. Hlavními výsledky aspirantury je pojmové zpřesnění, model a metoda řešení problémů slučitelnosti činností ve společném prostředí (místnostech), uspořádání a propojení místností v jednopodlažních budovách (disposiční řešení). Aspirantura probíhala při zaměstnání ve výzkumu výstavby, její výsledky byly podkladem pro úkoly, které aplikovanému výzkumu byly zadávány. Přílohou je grafický výstup výpočtu optimální rozsáhlé disposice z r. 1967, pomocí programu "Rovinný rozvrh", jehož autorem byl Jan Moučka za spolupráce matematiků- programátorů. Školícím místem bylo ČVUT, Fakulta architektury. Školiteli byli prof.ing.arch. Oldřich Starý a univ.prof. Otakar Zich DrSc, vedoucí katedry logiky University Karlovy. Oponentem byl prof.Jiří Štursa.

Prague into Europe – as Munich?
Moučka, Jan
Cílem článku je zejména poukázat na 'nemoci' Prahy, které mohou nastat v nových liberálních ekonomických a sociálních podmínkách, ukázat na zkušenostech z analogického města - Mnichova - některé možnosti zmírnění jejich průběhu. Dále zjistit důsledky 'nemocí' jimiž Praha prošla v minulých desítiletích a které se jasně projevují ve srovnání s Mnichovem. Cílem článku je dále zjistit reservy které Praha má a jak by jejich využití umožnilo předcházet větším obtížím - za takovou reservu považuje hlavně dosud extensívně využitý, ale zanedbaný suburbánní prostor pražské aglomerace. Rukopis článku byl v r. 1991 předán redakci časopisu Územní plánování a urbanismus, vydávaný TERPLAN Praha. Rukopis nebyl redakcí přijat s odůvodněním, "že již o Německu bylo publikováno dost". Z pohledu roku 2010 článek ukazuje, že v českém výzkumu výstavby a architektury bylo komplexní povědomí o problematice stavu českého osídlení, i po 40 letech isolace od světového dění.

Architectural Study of the Waterfront in Trencin
Andel, Branislav ; Urbášková, Hana (referee) ; Šindlar, Jiljí (advisor)
In 2005, city council approved the addition to the city of Trenčín town planning scheme, which deals with the modernization of the railway line. preparatory work is already underway related to the transhipment of the line, the process of modernization will be conducted for several years and will greatly affect the city center. There is the possibility of extending the center to the river. I saw a couple of designs and it is clear that the city sees an opportunity in the influx of investment and capital in the area, the possibility of new attractive commercial zone. I dealt with the reconstruction of the center and the quay in my last semester work entitled Trenčín 2020 - Quay and study center. Trenčín needs more cultural institutions or green instead of other commercial and administrative areas. Trencin is also missing theater building, performances in the present operate within the alternative scene in so called House of army. So i chose the space generated by moving the rail as the location for the new municipal theater and I decided to continue to work on this during the course of the diploma work. I propose theatre as part of the Center of Performing Arts (rather popular topic these days) and i added the alternative arena and a small concert hall on the both sides of theatre, creating a center which could become a decent space for cultural activities for important regional city. Instead of green which would be reduced on the riverbank I proposed green park located in front the cultural center (at the place where today lies vast parking and local train tracks - i dealt with this issue in my previous work), which creates a natural barrier against a relatively busy road in the center. So during the last semester I have already declared the location of the theatre , I have known about the possible access roads, perspectives, problems... Then I started to shape a mass of the building - inspired by the way of work by young Danish architects - I drew a rectangular block and began to form it under the influence of surrounding elements, or limits. So began the erecion of sharp "nose" over the river, which provides a view from the foyer and cafes located on the highest floor. Same nose is on the reverse side of the building facing the city's historic center and the castle, which helps me to extends the area needed for administrative support of theater. Because of the significant design of the foyer the building is extending towards the river and on both sides there are ramps which makes roof accesible for everyone to enjoy the view. At the end the building started to look like a ship stranded on the shore, with desire to reach the water again and sail into the unknown. The basic scheme of the building is divided into three main volumes: the foyer - scene - administrative and warehouse section. Enter the foyer from the river side, walk into the light, the stage is directly connected, and partly surrounded by storage. On the higher floors of the foyer is a music café with a view on the river on the other side of the theater scene are storage spaces are the actors' dressing rooms and administrative department.

History of Kaznějov before 1918
Kodetová, Klára ; Charvátová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Foltýn, Dušan (referee)
Resume The presented bachelor thesis portrays the historical development of the village Kaznějov. It deals with its portrayal in the available historical charters and documents. The focus is laid especially on the oldest history of the settlement, when it functioned as a grange of the Cistercian monks from the nearby Plasy monastery, and on its further development throughout the Middle Ages and Early Modern Period. Although the paper strives to rely mostly on available historical documents, it at the same time also strives to portray the village on the background of important contemporary events, such as the Hussite Wars and the Thirty Years' War. In the younger periods, the thesis focuses on the portrayal of the village based on the materials from different land cadastres - the Cadastre of the empress Maria Theresa, the emperor Joseph II.'s Cadastre and the Stable Cadastre. Finally, the paper describes the changes that the village sustained as a result of the mining and chemical industries' development in the area during the 19th century. These changes significantly shaped the village's further growth and also its physical appearance as opposed to the former periods.

White
Rosinová, Liana
The identity of modern architecture seems inseparable from the whiteness of its surfaces. But why white? Why do we surround ourselves with white walls? The doctoral thesis deals with the phenomenon of white as a framework for portraying the social and cultural development of whiteness throughout history. It outlines a new critical interpretation of the privileging of the colour white in architecture, which distorts the image of white as the peak of purity, morality, evolution, sublime, silence, etc. The main body of the text is devoted to the ideas and performances of selected historical facts and figures like asceticism of J. J. Winckelmann, Le Corbusier´s Law of Ripolin, elimination of ornament of A. Loos, white supremacy of A. Ozenfant, or B. Mussolini´s bleached Rome that address the issue of white. The task continues on the academic research which examines the social construction of the „white race“ as possessing a privileged social status in reference to race, gender, sexual orientation, class, and to a fact, that modern architecture was never simply white. Overleaf, white is somewhere between. It is connected to birth and death at the same time. White looks like the deadlock after erasing of all degenerated, and sometimes as a stimulus for imagination and more sensitive perception. In such a dichotomy of white we have created a presumption of looking at the white from assertoric or aletheic gaze. It means the narrow, intolerant, and dogmatic attitude on the one hand, and contextual, incorporated, and democratic on the other hand. The text also takes some viewpoints on the topic of whiteness to gauge the current understanding of white. The aim is to explore cultural-historical-social preference of white, and depending on the results of research to formulate the meaning of white.
