Compliment to Karel Malich (theoretical-practical thesis)
SVOBODOVÁ, Dominika
The bachelor's thesis Tribute to Karel Malich consists of two parts, theoretical and practical. The theoretical part deals mainly with the personality, life and work of Karel Malich. It also outlines the historical and social context of Malich's work and, last but not least, deals with energy as an inspirational element in Malich's work. The practical part of this thesis extends the theoretical part by realization of paintings. It also aims to understand Malich's work and sources of inspiration.

Between Realism and Abstraction: The Creation of Meaning in the Work of František Kupka, Paul Klee and Willem de Kooning
VANDERKOVÁ, Andrea
The main focus of this research is to clarify the relationship of František Kupka's abstract work to reality and his approach to creation and interpretation of visual meaning. In addition to Kupka's work itself, the research is also aimed to create sufficient theoretical background for following interpretation. This part of the research adresses visual communication, especially the significance of the image in relation to (non-)similarity, and the processes of identification and articulation of meaning in abstract image. This theoretical background, inspired by visual studies, include findings from several disciplines, especially semiotics, psychology and neuroaesthetics. The synthesis of these findings is specifically applied to František Kupka's abstract painting, The Cathedral. The interpretation is based on visual studies, František Kupka's own opinions, and the graduate´s own observation and reception, with the focus on the conditions of reception.

Abstraction in Automata Algorithms
Kocourek, Tomáš ; Lengál, Ondřej (referee) ; Holík, Lukáš (advisor)
Tato práce si klade za cíl implementaci a experimentální porovnání protiřetězcových algoritmů s abstrakcí a bez abstrakce, které testují prázdnost alternujících automatů. Autor také navrhuje vlastní algoritmy s abstrakcí a navrhuje několik optimalizací pro existující abstraktní algoritmy. Práce popisuje teoretické pozadí studovaných algoritmů a navrhuje efektivní způsob implementace datových struktur, které jsou těmito algoritmy používány. Experimentální vyhodnocení na náhodných automatech ukazuje, že algoritmy bez abstrakce vykazují obecně lepší výsledky, neboť nevyužívají náročné operace průniku a komplementace shora a zdola uzavřených množin. V případě automatů s vysokou hustotou přechodů však algoritmy bez abstrakce zpomalují a algoritmy s abstrakcí naopak zrychlují.

The Cobra Movement in the Context of Art of the 40s and early 50s.
Strasserová, Anna ; Klimešová, Marie (advisor) ; Rakušanová, Marie (referee)
This work deals with the experimental art group Cobra which united artists of three countries - Denmark, Belgium and the Netherlands, after the World War II. Although this movement was active only between the years 1948 and 1951, the beginning of this group can be traced in the pre-war period when the future members of the group were influenced by the mainstream art movements. Similarly, we cannot see the year 1951 as the end of the importance of this international art formation. Despite the short duration, the group united number of artists from different countries who then influenced many of future artists and art movements. This work therefore mentions the activity of Cobra members before the actual establishment of the group, attempts to describe in detail its work during its existence, and lastly, it indicates its further heading. A special chapter is dedicated to the connection of the group Cobra to the Czech art. The artists of Cobra drew their main inspiration from the work of arts of specific groups, such as that of children, mentally ill, so called primitive nations, or from the folk art. Alongside that, the artists created their own unique style based on collective and spontaneous work and liberal art expression. The plurality of their art expression and their relationship to other art...

Contribution of social dominance on performance in spatial cognitive tasks in pigeons
Janská, Iveta ; Landová, Eva (advisor) ; Sedláček, František (referee)
Diploma thesis generally compares individual success pigeons in spatial tasks of varying complexity (in a role that requires abstraction of visual stimuli representing spatial relationships on the touch screen using two different strategies and spatial search task the middle plate of a series of plates with different variants of location) with hierarchical status of males and group females. Specifically thesis compares individual success pigeons in spatial tasks of varying complexity. The hardest task requires a certain level of abstraction of visual stimuli representing spatial relationships using experimentally induced two strategies: mapping strategy or specific symbol association with a position in space. The role tests on the touch screen with the help of operant conditionings. Difficulty in various stages of growing, the last stage role does manage only some individuals. Conversely easier task in real space with a bird tasked with finding the midpoint between objects in different variants locations within the arena. The difficulty of the task is not growing, and it can solve some individuals who have not learned operant conditioning if the previous job. Performance in cognitive tasks could be affected by the hierarchical status of the animal in the group. Pigeons position in the hierarchy has...

Abstract tasks in birds - spatial vs non-spatial tasks
Janská, Iveta ; Landová, Eva (advisor) ; Vlček, Kamil (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to compare spatial cognitive tasks (radial maze and analogs, geometry and features) and non-spatial abstract cognitive task (concept formation and categorization, transitive inference) in birds. Because each of tasks have different testing methods they are compared according to method types in separate thematic groups, which are discussed each other. The extension of this thesis on theories derived from human psychology such as self-recognition, episodic-like memory, and theory of mind.

Hannes Beckmann (1909-1977). Dessau - Prague - New York
Kuzica Rokytová, Bronislava ; Rakušanová, Marie (advisor) ; Rousová, Hana (referee) ; Klimešová, Marie (referee)
Hannes Beckmann (1909-1977). Dessau - Prague - New York This PhD thesis is dedicated to an exceptional, though still forgotten personality, an artist of German descent, Hannes Beckmann |1909-1977|. A graduate of Germany's Bauhaus, he was one of the refugees fleeing Nazism to Czechoslovakia, and among many other achievements, he later became the director of the photography department of the Guggenheim Museum in New York. Through his work, he fulfilled avant-garde ideas on the synthesis of artistic fields: he was a painter, stage designer, art theorist and pedagogue, but also a creator of abstract objects moving along the boundaries of minimalistic and kinetic constructions. His fate in life and created body of work began gaining a clearer form in the framework of research on visual artists, who found sanctuary in interwar Czechoslovakia from demagogic political systems. Until that time, Hannes Beckmann had been utterly unknown to Czech art history and elsewhere. This is seen in the absence of his name in Czech technical literature, but also because he was never mentioned even in publications published by the Bauhaus with which he had been involved for some time. There was only sketchy information on his pedagogical and artistic work in the area of Op-Art (optical art) from the 1960s to 1970s in the United...

Portrait of rock
Svatoš, Jan ; Mikolášek, Martin (referee) ; Kvíčala, Petr (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with the memory of the Icelandic rock through a series of abstract paintings anchored in the aesthetics of process painting. The author paints the paintings on the basis of a synthesis of personal experience, a metaphorical conception of geological processes and drawing from a digital photographic master, and observes the relationship between the painter and his painting in the sense of building a painting as an entity with subjective needs. At the same time, the work examines the overlaps and possibilities of abstract painting to stimulate an imagination that changes the resulting meaning and content in relation to its creator or viewer.

Generating Tree Structures for Testing of Information Systems
Rozsíval, Michal ; Hruška, Martin (referee) ; Smrčka, Aleš (advisor)
The work aims to create a tool for automated testing of information systems. It creates messages similar in structure to those in the communication of existing systems. The program reads provided communication record according to configuration and saves the individual messages in a uniform form. It splits the saved messages into groups and abstracts them into a suitable form for a subsequent generation of new random test messages based on a combinatorial testing with Pair-Wise coverage. The tool supports communication using the REST API and OPC UA protocols and structured data in XML and JSON . The program was tested by processing real communication records.
