Using classic versus geometric morphometrics in anthropology
Pinkr, Tomáš ; Velemínská, Jana (advisor) ; Brůžek, Jaroslav (referee)
Shape differences and their analysis may reveal differences in the growth and morphogenesis, the influence of different evolutionary pressures, or the consequences of a disproportionate burden of the various parts of the body. Variability of some characters cannot be measured, but it can be observed and described verbally, or eventually described in photographs or schematically. A morphoscopy deals with it and currently beside the traditional direct visual observations also modern technology is utilized. Morphometry unlike morphoscopy is used for measurement and comparison of organism shapes and shape changes analysis. Outputs of morphometric examination are tables of numbers and mathematical and statistical operations are used to obtain information from these data. Current anthropology divides morphometry to two slightly different sets of methods a traditional morphometrics and a geometric morphometrics. The traditional morphometrics measures directly object of study using conventional measuring tools. Conversely, the geometric morphometrics analyzes object in the virtual space using sopfisticated instrumentation including special software. Display methods store information about geometry of the subject. Resulting databases are used not only for the original analysis but also for other research as...

The position and activities of the Czech Republic in the UN
Šlehoferová, Vanda ; Veselý, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Matějka, Zdeněk (referee)
The theme of this work is "The position and activities of the Czech Republic in the UN." Within this theme, I focused on the UN's role in ensuring international peace and security and foreign policy of the Czech Republic in relation to this main task of the UN as an organization of collective security. I have chosen this topic, because this issue has always been, is and will be current, as to ensure the peaceful development of all countries is a major challenge for the entire international community. On this issue also meet all the discipline that deal with international relations as such. As the Theory of International Relations and International Law, trying to find solutions that would prevent the outbreak of another war. In this paper I analyze the Czech foreign policy at three levels of analysis, at the level of the international system, on state level and on level of national institutions. At the level of the international system I describe reality from the perspective of international intergovernmental organizations, in this case the United Nations, using sociological institutionalism. At the state level I will analyze the Czech foreign policy in terms of classical realism, since it is at this level of analysis still the strongest and most influential theory of international relations. At the level of national institutions I analyze the Czech foreign policy in terms of the bureaucratic model. The thesis has three main chapters, equal to the three levels of analysis. The first chapter is dedicated to two theories of international relations, namely structural realism and social institutionalism. The theories and their views on reality of world politics are important, because at this level of analysis, I am trying to define the theoretical assumptions for the UN's role as an international sovereign. The second chapter is devoted to foreign policy of the Czech Republic in relation to the UN as a system of collective security, which is the optimum solution for the maintain security of the Republic as a small state. This chapter also highlights the tradition and prestige, which enjoyed Czechoslovakia as a founding member of the UN. The third chapter analyzes the internal processes that precede the formation of Czech foreign policy. In this regard, I focus primarily on national institutions. The analysis at this level is to see how the creation of foreign policy is a complex process, which is also derived from those political parties that are just in power.

Word-class flexibility in classical Chinese: verbal and adverbial uses of nouns
Zádrapa, Lukáš ; Lomová, Olga (advisor) ; Uher, David (referee) ; Behr, Wolfgang (referee)
The central topic of this thesis is the verbal and the adverbial use of nouns in Classical Chinese (5th - 3 rd c. BC), which is labelled as hu6yong in the traditional Chinese philology. However, a summary of previous research on the phenomenon both in Chinese and in Western languages and above all a theoretical introduction to the issues of word classes in this isolating language represent an integral part of the thesis. Importantly, its aim is not to present an exhaustive treatise about the phenomenon, but to offer a new perspective, to reformulate the questions related to it and to exploit a recent generally linguistic theoretical framework - namely cognitive linguistics - for its description. On its basis, I endeavour to integrate my own observations obtained from the linguistic material and those of my predecessors, provided they are not too much biased by special features of the theories they employed, and to make use of the knowhow of the disciplines associated with hu6yong. If we put aside the most general ones, like syntax, semantics and lexicology, it concerns mainly an interrelated mUltidisciplinary net including e.g. theory of word formation, theory of interpretation of novel expressions, terminography, pragmatics, stylistics, sociolinguistics, or psycho linguistics. Besides this, it is possible...

Topological Properties of Generalized Context Structures
Chernikava, Alena ; Chvalina, Jan (referee) ; Beránek,, Jaroslav (referee) ; Kovár, Martin (advisor)
Práce je zaměřena na vzájemnou interakci několika odvětví matematiky. Hlavní myšlenkou práce bylo najít závislosti, vztahy a analogie mezi nimi. První část práce se týká vztahu mezi formální pojmovou analýzou, topologií a parciálními metrikami. Formální kontext je velice obecná matematická struktura, která může reprezentovat ostatní matematické struktury v jednotné a sjednocené formě. Přirozeným způsobem bychom mohli reprezentovat informaci podobně jako v tabulce, reprezentující formální kontext (s respektem ke všem množinově-teoretickým omezením) a generovat určité topologie na množinách atributů a objektů. V druhé části studujeme především pretopologické systémy jako speciální případ formálních kontextů. Od topologických systémů se pretopologické systémy liší především obecnější uspořádanou strukturou na množině atributů, reprezentujících zobecněné otevřené množiny. Vlastnosti tohoto uspořádání podstatně ovlivňují chování celé struktury a proto mu věnujeme zvláštní pozornost v závěru kapitoly, kde se mj. zabýváme konstrukcí analogie de Grootova duálu, včetně jeho iterovaných vlastností. Třetí část práce je zasvěcena struktuře framework, která má přirozenou strukturu formálního kontextu. Framework se skládá ze dvojice množin, z nichž první je množina míst a druhá obsahuje jistý systém podmnožin první množiny, aniž by bylo vyžadováno splnění nějakých axiómů. Struktura je opatřena jednoduchou konstrukcí duality, umožňující přepínání mezi klasickým, bodově-množinovým přístupem, podobně jako v topologii a bezbodovou reprezentací topologických vztahů. V závěru navrhujeme a studujeme, jak aproximovat libovolný framework pomocí usměrněného souboru konečných frameworků z hlediska generované topologie. V poslední části práce používáme metody obecné topologie ke korekci a zlepšení jednoho ze základních teorémů teorie her. Dokázali jsme mimo jiné, že pro hru v normální formě, v níž má i-tý hráč spojitou výherní funkci a množina jeho strategií je skoro-kompaktní, má tento hráč nedominovanou strategii. Kromě tohoto výsledku v poslední a předposlední kapitole ukazujeme, že teorie her přirozeným způsobem generuje velmi obecné, například nehausdorffovské topologické a kontextové struktury, čímž posouvá tradiční chápání reality neobvyklým směrem.

High Temperature Processes in Silicon Solar Cells Production
Frantík, Ondřej ; Hudec, Lubomír (referee) ; Banský,, Juraj (referee) ; Szendiuch, Ivan (advisor)
The thesis is focused on high temperature processes in crystalline solar cells production. Main topic is diffusion of traditional dopants phosphorus and boron. Diffusion processes for creating solar cells are different from classical diffusion in semiconductor industrial. It is reason why the thesis describes crated layers in detail. Knowledge of diffusion processes is used for creating bifacial solar cells and development of a new phosphorus emitter for conventional solar cells. Bifacial cells are a new type of cells. Developed new emitter increases efficiency and decreases cost of solar cells production. Another part the thesis is devoted to the prediction of diffusion processes. New models of phosphorus and boron diffusion for photovoltaic industrial are created in software SILVACO. Models correspond with real results.

Design of Digital Piano
Sikora, Halina ; Sládek, Josef (advisor)
This master’s thesis deals with the design of a digital piano. This increasingly popular musical instrument offers possibilities not available in an acoustic piano (outputting sound into headphones, utilizing sample libraries, recording, use of sheet music in digital form and more). From technical standpoint, it attempts to closely mimic the qualities of traditional instruments, both in its tactile feedback and sound quality. The aim of this work was to design a solution which would starkly differentiate from the very conservative classical design without being overly extravagant. The main focus is therefore on aspects of visual appearance, with emphasis on ergonomics, and an outline of the technical solution.

Overview of Mongolian Classical Music and it's Significant Representative - Composer Sembe Gonchigsumlaa
Tunsag, Tsolmon ; Kopecká, Věra (advisor) ; Gregor, Vít (referee)
Music composer Sembe Gonchigsumlaa is considered as a founder of Mongolian classic music. His life and work essentially influenced a development of Mongolian classic music that's why I have chosen this topic as a title of my diploma thesis. The chapter one presents a brief description of the Mongolian political and cultural background from the early 20th century till today, it's the key to understand the development of Mongolian classic music. Mongolia was influenced by classic Western culture, introduced from Russia. In the end of the chapter are described notable music institutions of Mongolia. The chapter two is dedicated to the composer's life and work from his early steps of composing until the masterpieces. In the last chapter I focus on composer's concentration to the piano as a fundamental instrument of classic music. Gonchigsumlaa was involved in many musical institutions and guided the evolution to ensure systematical and methodical education of amateur, professional musicians and composers. Mongolian composers combine traditional elements with modern classic techniques to produce unique sounds and compositions.

Transfer and utilization of process data (PLC) in production control system
Kupčík, Michal ; Michal, Novotný (referee) ; Pásek, Jan (advisor)
This work explains to reader the difficulty of production scheduling and why is much advantageous using proper system for this work. Next he reads about complexity of production management and about necessity of linkage between all levels of company’s IT systems. We are going to use three different approaches for getting Siemens controller’s data out and for two of them we are going to describe general procedure, how we gets a data files, which are openable in classic table processor like MS Excel and which contain user’s choosen variables including their actual values. Finally reader will be familiarized with SimRead program, which serves for reading variable’s values in combination with Simatic standart communication blocks.
