Skyscraper "EVO"
Kohoutová, Zuzana ; Kotek, Jakub (referee) ; Dulenčín, Juraj (advisor)
The subject of this diploma thesis is the architectural design of Skyscraper "EVO" (experimental high-rise building) located in Brno. The building integrates various functions (residential, restaurant, shops, office space and gallery) at relatively small built-up area. The aim of the thesis is to create the design of a high-rise building with appropriate scale and which creates space for interconnection of different functions and will become new dominant of the city. The proposed building is located in the part of the city called Veveří. The building site is defined by Šumavská and Veveří streets. The building is designed as a single rectangular prism shaped volume. The entrances to the building are at the level of surrounding terrain. The building has 31 aboveground floors and 9 underground floors. The simple shape of building is structured by horizontal bands of consoles which create shields against excessive sun exposure and vertical atriums embedded in the main volume. These atriums connect interior and exterior. This atrium create connection between interior and exterior and ease the penetration of natural daylight inside the building. The dominant material used is glass, which is applied both in exterior and interior. The glass used on glazing of atrium sis colored transparent photovoltaic glass. Bands are in white color.

Appearance of socially-pathological events of children in relation to unemployment in the family.
KOMRSOVÁ, Jitka
In my diploma work on the topic {\clqq}Appearance of socially-pathological events of children in relation to unemployment in the family``. I concentrated on finding out connections between employment of parents, appearance of socially-pathological events of their children and their pocket money. The basic complex was formed by respondents at the age of 15 - 20 years who live in the region of Klatovy, on a scale of 200 respondents. The aim of my theoratical part was a summary of information about the family, its housekeeping, about socially - pathological events, unemplayment and spending leisure time of children. In my practical part I tried to find connections between the appearance of socially - pathological events, unemployment of parents and the pocket money of children. The importance of my diploma work is especially in the possibilities to inform parents, teachers, educators and the public, which are interested in bringing up, about the proven results from the research work. These results showed that the socially - pathological events, have the connection with unemployment of parents, because their appearance was 30 per cent bigger in the family with unemployed parents. Employed parents more often give their children pocket money that leads to increased smoking. The amount of the pocket money doesn{\crq}t influence the appearance of socially - pathological events because the important statistical difference in the amount of the pocket money in the group of respondents with the pocket money and the appearance of socially - pathological events in the general file wasn{\crq}t proved. Respondents who have experience with the unemployment of their parents are less satisfied in the family. Employed parents spend more leisure time with their children in the active way. These established facts can influence parents in their unbringing of their children. Knowledge and appreciation of connections of above - mentioned factors can lead up educators to the prevention of socially pathological events of children.

Valuation of Small-Scale Public Contracts
Kulich, Jan ; Srba, Martin (referee) ; Hromádka, Vít (advisor)
The bachelor thesis is dealing with small-scale public contracts of building works. It is examining the methods of instructions and contender's evaluation of specific public contract. Firstly the work describes theoretical part of public contracts, their division, terms and definitions, that reader was informed in the second part of bachelor thesis. This one is examining specific public contract. There is also evaluated method of instruction used evaluation criteria and next is designed own method of instruction and evaluation criteria. The result of the practical part is comparison of methods of instructions specific public contract of building works.

Proměny urbánních prostorů městských sídel menšího měřítka (městys)
Smutná, Irena
The bachelor thesis is focused on the urban space changes, particularly of smaller town settlements (so called "městys"). It is a guide summarizing technical terms related to the urbanization process since the town establishment up to now in connection with individual historical layers, from the point of view of different architectonic events within time scale. The guide is intended for both urbanists on one hand and garden and landscape architects on the other hand. With the help of various available historical sources, it clarifies a layout and hierarchical system of entire urban and peri-urban space (as well as their mutual continuity), including the impact of landscape relief on them. There is defined the term of public space and explained its cultural meaning. In addition, all above mentioned facts are verified in reality, using four representative examples of small town settlements. The thesis is getting acquainted with the real space and functional aspects of urban scene. Its final result of field analyses is clearly described, as well as graphically designed in proposal arrangement of urban space system in particular small town settlement - Uhelná Příbram.

Palaeocology of plant-arthropod associations from the Lower Miocene of the Most Basin in northern Bohemia (Czech Republic)
Knor, Stanislav ; Prokop, Jakub (advisor) ; Teodoridis, Vasilis (referee)
Terrestrial plants and insects account for the majority of the Earth's biodiversity today, and almost half of all insect species are herbivores. Thus, insects and plants share ancient associations date back for more than 400 million years. However, investigation of their interactions stands largely at the beginning in Western Europe. Nearly 4300 plant remains showing various kinds of feeding damages are available for the present study. These trace fossils are classified as so-called functional feeding-groups supply an outstanding example of the complexity, the structure and the changes of terrestrial ecosystems, are not well known during this interval. In Europe, the Neogene is characterized by palaeogeographic re- organization due to the collision of the African with the Eurasian plates. The Neogene plant record in Europe is rich and diverse offering a profound large-scale understanding of the floristic and vegetational development. A database of fossil traces from the Most Basin was compiled and analyzed by various statistical methods in terms of the diversity and intensity of palaeo-herbivory. The primary objective is to present results on the development of insect herbivory through the section of the Bílina Mine in North Bohemia, with the aim of understanding principal factors that caused the...

Epistemic and root possibility meanings of can and may in written English
Remešová, Petra ; Dušková, Libuše (advisor) ; Hornová, Magdalena (referee) ; Klégr, Aleš (referee)
The study is concerned with the English modal auxiliaries CAN and MAY and their morphologically past tense forms COULD and MIGHT.1 It is essentially a small-scale corpus-based investigation into possibility meanings of these modal auxiliaries in contemporary written British English, taking account of stylistic variation. The investigation focuses on assigning appropriate readings to contextualized occurrences of modal auxiliaries and is thus primarily based on discussions of syntactic, semantic and pragmatic aspects. The study attempts to present a general account of possibility senses of CAN/COULD and MAY/MIGHT and reviews the issues relating to their use and distribution on the basis of a semantic and quantitative analysis. However, frequency of occurrence is meant to provide merely a supplementary view of the qualitative analysis, focusing on the role of context in interpreting modal meanings. Among the modal-specific questions that the treatise addresses are those concerning modal semantics, syntactic co-occurrence patterns, stylistic variation, and pragmatic inferencing. It is important to note that the study does not attempt to provide an exhaustive and systematic semantic description of CAN/COULD and MAY/MIGHT. Based on interpreting particular contextualized occurrences, it primarily investigates...

Ultrafast processes in semiconductor nanocrystals
Dzurňák, Branislav ; Trojánek, František (advisor) ; Dohnalová, Kateřina (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with optical properties of silicon nanocrystals implanted in silicon oxide substrate. We examined samples with various concentrations of nanocrystals. We measured Raman spectra of our samples and identified size of nanocrystals and distance between them as function of depth. We measured absorption and reflection of samples and calculated the energy of band gap. For various implantation doses we examined temperature dependence of luminescence spectra. Two peaks were observed for excitation wavelength of 408 nm, the first shifts towards longer wavelength with increasing temperature, the second one stays unchanging. We observed low-temperature resonant luminescence in order to identify fonon structure. During observation of time-resolved luminescence two components of fast luminescence appeared - the slower in scale of nanoseconds, the faster in scale of picoseconds. We devoted to study of the faster component. For the faster component we observed up-converted luminescence. Intensity dependence of this component is quadratic. We also observe degradation of luminescence owing to strong laser beam. In conclusion we discussed origin of each component of luminescence spectra.
