Travesty Show: Performativity and Negotiation of Gender Identity
Chistyakova, Anastasia ; Ezzeddine, Petra (advisor) ; Halbich, Marek (referee)
This thesis is concerned with the question of gender identification in drag culture. The research, upon which this work is based, focuses on Czech drag queens that participate in drag (travesti) show in an LGBTQ+ enterprise in Prague. In my research, I have attempted to grasp the motivation of my informants to do drag, their connection to queer culture and the ways in which they create their own aesthetic on stage. With the help of these topics, I approach the problem of their gender identification, both in and out of drag. On the basis of the collected fieldwork material and relevant literature, I problematize gender identification among my informants. On the basis of such identification, I furthermore attempt to demonstrate limitations and shortcomings of the heteronormative framework of gender performativity, gender performance and gender identification in general. Keywords: travesty show, drag, queer, homosexuality, performativity, performance, heteronormativity, gender subversion

Flight performance of the STOL light sport airplane
Koudelka, Jaroslav ; Sklenář, Filip (referee) ; Juračka, Jaroslav (advisor)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to evaluate effect of individual parts of the selected aircraft on its aerodynamic characteristics and to summarize possible directions of aircraft modifications with taking into account increasing its cruising speed while maintaining STOL performances. The first part of this thesis is focused on the description of selected aircraft construction and its legislative categorization. Then follows the theoretical part describing the basic terms of horizontal flight mechanics, the creation of drag and drag types. The practical part contains the evaluation of the drag influence for individual aircraft parts, their possible directions of improving and the final summary how the modified parts influence flight performances. In conclusion they are results comparing the original aircraft configuration with the modified one with taking cruising speed into account. For the modified version there is an evaluation of its impact on the STOL performances.

Travesti show and sexual orientation from the perspective of addiction psychology.
Fejklová, Martina ; Matoušek, Petr (advisor) ; Kalina, Kamil (referee)
The bachelor thesis focuses on the issue of interrelation among addiction, homosexuality and drag/travesti subculture. Since, according to numerous studies, there exists some connection between an increased risk of addiction creation and the LGBT community, the aim of this thesis is, building upon a case study, to map out one of the segments, to which only little attention is devoted in the scientific literature, both on the gender and on the addiction problematics - i.e. the possible effect of drag/travesti subculture on the addiction creation. Due to the fact that drag performers are gay and at the same time they exhibit significant femininity features, they are exposed to a double social stigmatisation, often even by the gay subculture. This stigmatisation as well as discrimination and struggle with their own identity are the factors which - as suggested by the scientific literature - can contribute to development of an addiction. The case study conducted in the practical part of the thesis focuses on mapping out of the development of drug addiction by one Czech travesti performer. The data obtained served to create a general picture of how the sexual orientation and gender identity but also a specific social environment can contribute to a possible use of various types of addictive...

Manufacturing inaccuracies influence on an appearence of the additional moment on a sailboat rudder
Kazda, Adam ; Fic, Miloslav (referee) ; Štigler, Jaroslav (advisor)
This Master’s thesis is dedicated to a generation of an additional torque, which can occur due to the inaccuracy of the manufacturing. This issue is inspired by a real case from 2013. In this work CFD modeling is used to investigate three different sources of the additional torque: misalignment of the rudder, deviation of the propeller shaft and asymmetry of the rudder. A simplified 2D simulation is done for all three cases. This simulation is more suitable for a jet powered boat. Therefore the asymmetry of the rudder is investigated also in a 3D case, where the rotational component of the flow behind the propeller is included.

Truck aerodynamic parameters
Šilar, Josef ; Vančura, Jan (referee) ; Hejtmánek, Petr (advisor)
The main goal of this bachelor´s work is to depict and describe terms form the aerodynamics field in order to understand the problem of aerodynamics of the vehicles. Here is created overall view of constructive elements that lower aerodynamic resistance of vehicles and methods of survey of aerodynamic parameters. The work also contain the difference of mentioned parameters of suburban and truck cars.
