Kopicová, Jiřina ; Arbanová, Linda (advisor) ; Špirk, Ivan (referee)
KOPICOVÁ, Jiřina. Contemporary Printmaking and Art Education. Prague, 2011. 115 p. Master Thesis. Charles University in Prague - Faculty of Educati- on. Head of the Master Thesis Mgr. Linda Arbanová, PhD. This is a theoretical study investigating the present-day free graphic arts (designs). It describes the main trends, materials and techniques used. The text contains an an- notated selection of several Czech and foreign authors, which illustrates the different mainstreams of contemporary graphic arts. The didactic part of this study contains a research on the topic entitled Relation of Ba- sic-School Students to the Graphic Arts and a suggestion of a didactic approach to Art teaching based on the results of the research. The creative part of the study shows my own works-based on the topic: Time of Natu- re-made with the combined technique of digital print and linocut.

Magnetic orientation in mammals
Tejmlová, Kristýna ; Němec, Pavel (advisor) ; Vácha, Martin (referee)
Earth's magnetic field can provide animal with both directional and positional information. The ability to perceive and utilize information extracted from the geomagnetic field is called magnetoreception. Magnetoreception mechanisms remain largely unknown. Three main hypotheses are currently supported by experimental evidence. The light-independent mechanisms are based either on electromagnetic induction or on biogenic magnetite. The light-dependent mechanism is based on specific chemical reaction between radical pairs. Perception of the geomagnetic field facilitates both long- and short-distance orientation of animals. Some animals exhibit the magnetic alignment, i.e., spontaneuos preference for a certain geomagnetic direction. Another manifestation of magnetoreception is magnetic compass (polarity- or inclination-based, depending on species), which enable an animal to determine the azimuth, i.e., the angle between the direction of motion and geomagnetic field vector. Magnetic map sense enable an animal to determine its position and direction to the goal destination, most likely utilizing the inclination and the intensity of the geomagnetic field as navigational cues. Magnetic orientation of mammals seems to be a widespread phenomenon. Light- independend, polarity compass has been reported in...

Knowledge for inclusion: strategies and implementation of social and structural integration of refugees in European Union through multifaceted orientation, education, and training programmes
Isakova, Alina ; Levrincová, Petra (advisor) ; Haišmanová, Lucie (referee)
This work is an attempt to outline prospects of theoretically and practically justified refugees' integration in its initial levels through orientation and education programmes using previous and present positive experience, but also taking into consideration the letter of International Law and Human Rights, moral and ethical perspective, so direct and prospective benefits for all the parties concerned, i.e. the EU, nation-states, communities, citizens, newcomers. The main focus is on multifaceted Orientation, Education, and Training Programmes (OETPs) that are presented as one of the most significant tools of social and structural integration into state's and public spheres. Presence of OETPs is being traced in theoretical framework, political discourse, and practical implementation of integration policies at different levels of the EU realm. There is a stress made on policy design, implementation, and evaluation provided by national governments and local authorities so role of civic sector, activities of UNHCR, and community level enterprises. .

Impact of a guide dog on the quality of life of its owner
Müllerová, Kateřina ; Vařeková, Jitka (advisor) ; Nováková, Pavlína (referee)
Title: The impact of a guide dogs on the quaity of its owner Goal: The purpose of this bachelor work is to find out how the guide dog ownership can affect its owner. The work is firmly focused on social participation and the activity options according to the ICF legislation, 2001. Methodology: The data collected in this research are classified as qualitative. Furthermore, the information collection was carried out by a self-created questionnaire, provided to fifteen participants. The survey was completed by 25 questions, varied by three categories (open, closed and open-ended). In the second research period of data selection, a half-structured interview was attended by two interviewees. The attendants were guide dogs owners with a visual impairment. Results: In both cases, the interviewees selected yes as an answer. They agree that a guide dog affects social participation alongside the activity options for people with a visual impairment. Guide dog positively responds on making new contacts with others, a better communication. Owners feel safe, relaxed and satisfied. Also, according to the results we received, the dog means a specific stimulation in the activity completion. Whether it is a moving activity (dog-walking) or regular daily tasks such as going to various offices, post offices and so on....

Emotional Cartography
Rygálová, Monika ; Pfeiffer, Jan (referee) ; Sterec, Pavel (advisor)
The work aims to artistically compile perception of maps as a fact, what let us think about The world - how we know it from the map. I work with data, which I gain by displaying technology – eye tracking, which helps me to record track of moving eyes during watching any kind of picture. The observations will be people from different places such a place of stay etc. Gained data I am going to use as a study, which I will componate to maps and different vizualizations of world, countries etc. "Where i have not ever been before, it does not exist" – is idea of percepting world, wich I also work with on that project. Study will contain all aspect of perceiving maps and systematicly shown world related to the person, his memories to that place, fyzical contact and his impact in his scale person versus a the world.
