Measuring and Visualizing Distance Sensor Data in Real-Time via Arduino and Xbee wireless communication to Matlab
Zapletal, Marek ; Liška, Radovan (referee) ; Karakhalil, Mourad (advisor)
Work describes making of measuring system consisting of ultrasonic sensor, programmable board Arduino, where the wireless communication is provided by Xbee modules. Theoretical part depicts the single components including the programmes for making the code necessary for proper function of the system. On the other hand, realization and creation of programmes is the centre of practical part of the work. System was physically made and the obtained data from distance sensor were in real-time transferred and depicted in MATLAB programme, where the data are filtered and the graphs of elapsed time- distance are drawn. This work is one of the first possible steps in making intelligent devices or robots from the general aspect of mapping, navigating and orienting in a surrounding area.

Latin Hagiography of Early Middle-Ages as a Source for Christianisation of the Central Europe
Izdný, Jakub ; Drška, Václav (advisor) ; Suchánek, Drahomír (referee)
of the paper The goal of the submitted work is to compare extensively the first hagiographical concerning the process of Christianization in the Central Europe. By paralleling these texts across the national rounds and comparing their image with the current state of the historical research the author tries to understand the role of legend in the Christianization and in particular their possible use as a source for this period. The hagiographical image of paganism, the baptism of the state units, of the ruler and the usual way of the institutional spread of the faith with regard to the image of the lower social classes in the process are all examined in the thesis. Further, attention is paid to the coherence of the Central-European area observable in the typology and the content of examined hagiography.

The responses in domestic politics to Hodza Plan 1935-1936
Váňa, Daniel ; Jakubec, Ivan (advisor) ; Dufek, Pavel (referee) ; Kovář, Martin (referee)
Abstract The thesis is about the reaction of Czechoslovak political scene to Milan Hodža's Danubian plan. Milan Hodža was Slovak Agrarian and economist who introduced his plan in the second half of 1935 at the time when he was Prime minister of Czechoslovakia. Author emerged from broader considerations of Czech and Czechoslovak ideas about economic and political developments in Central Europe, according to Palacký "space between Germany and Russia." In this context author accepts Palackys beliefs about the indispensability of the Danubian Hapsburg Empire as the counter imperialist expansion's bumper of both the continental powers and efforts of political parties Mladočeši and Staročeši who tried to reform and maintain the country. He also describes the interwar projects of Czechoslovak sovereign foreign policy, where Czechoslovaks tried to take on an inspirational leadership role of Central European economic and political cooperation which was based on Little Entente. Author of this thesis thinks that Hodža's Plan is just one of these projects. And as all the previous projects Hodža's plan had no opportunity to be implemented in the new internationally-political and internationally-economic context. Had Milan Hodža prepared his plan for economic and potentially political cooperation between Danube region countries from the national economy point of view? Did he start the wider discussion about the possibility of Danube region cooperation in Czechoslovakia? These are the basic questions that the author asks and he answers them in the last chapter of his work: Milan Hodža never made any concrete national economic statement for his plan. His attempt for the realization had never gone out of the diplomatic detection. Likewise he did not evoke any specific reaction of Czechoslovak political parties not even in party periodicals.

What explains the divergence between Scottish and English electoral behaviour?
Zichová, Jitka ; Lebeda, Tomáš (advisor) ; Novák, Miroslav (referee)
The objective of my thesis was to explain the specifity of the Scottish electoral behaviour in the context of UK General elections as well as its development under the process of the devolution and consequently in the newly established Scottish parliament elections. Firstly, I described the development of the Scottish electoral behaviour on the basis of the time and geographical horizons pointing out the increasing regional differences within the UK. Pursuant to the detailed analysis of the electoral divergence of the Scottish behaviour , I infer that its particularity consists in the existence of the different political values in Scottish society which became even more salient in the period of the Conservative government from 1979 to 1997. This development in the Scottish society hence made the successive Labour government accept the Scottish claim for devolution which lead to the establishment of the Scottish Parliament and the first devolved election held on 6 May 1999 Next, I discussed the impact of the process of devolution on the Scottish electorate. Scottish voters demonstrated that they tend to distinguish their vote in the two different polls. The divergence of the electoral performance of the Scottish electorate in the devolved Scottish elections has been undoubtedly amplified by the operation of...

Ethnic groups in the former Soviet Union space
Tkáčová, Kateřina ; Plechanovová, Běla (advisor) ; Střítecký, Vít (referee)
The topic of this diploma thesis is ethnic groups in the space of the former Soviet Union in the time period 1994-2006 and their involvement in ethnic conflicts. The aim of this thesis is to identify key parameters driving these ethnic groups towards armed conflict as a response to their needs, interests and living conditions. Key assumptions of this thesis are derived from qauntitative as well as qualitative studies. Important characteristics of ethnic groups are also included in the analysis of possible causes of ethnic conflicts. The theoretical discussion shows three main factors which can make ethnic groups more prone to conflict: permanent exclusion, strong identity and lastly dissimilarity of an ethnic group. Influence of these factors is tested using descriptive statistics, odds ratio, correlation and logistic regression. Statistical results shows that strong identity as well as discrimination of ethnic groups increase the probability of ethnic conflicts.

Quantitative weak compactness
Rolínek, Michal ; Spurný, Jiří (advisor) ; Kalenda, Ondřej (referee)
In this thesis we study quantitative weak compactness in spaces (C(K), τp) and later in Banach spaces. In the first chapter we introduce several quantities, which in different manners measure τp-noncompactness of a given uniformly bounded set H ⊂ RK . We apply the results in Banach spaces in chapter 2, where we prove (among others) a quantitative version of the Eberlein-Smulyan theorem. In the third chapter we focus on convex closures and how they affect measures of noncompactness. We prove a quantitative version of the Krein-Smulyan theorem. The first three chapters show that measuring noncompactness is intimately related to measuring distances from function spaces. We follow this idea in chapters 4 and 5, where we measure distances from Baire one functions first in RK and later also in Banach spaces. 1

The Body and Islam
Písařová, Petra ; Skupnik, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Vrhel, František (referee) ; Nováková, Hana (referee)
This thesis deals with the role of the body in Islam. Within its framework selected issues connected to the approach to the body and bodiliness from the religious-juristic, cultic, philosophical and medical view are analysed. Presented are especially the moments of adjustments and modifications of the body, partly on the level of its physical, "desired" presence in the society, partly on the level of socially/culturally distributed and sustained ideas about the body. These two moments are of course interwoven but can be postulated separately as well in the way I do it when I distinguish between the "delimitated" and the "delimitating" body. The first part of the thesis is dedicated to the question of the approach to the study of Islamic culture in general and to the subject of bodiliness from the position of "western" Orientalism. Consequently, a methodological framework for the author's own analysis is set up, which is defined as "postmodernistic", therefore inclined to various narratives about the body in Islamic culture, images and actions connected to the body and predominantly ahistorical. Works of the first sociologists of the body and their studies into the logic of bodily techniques and "embodied" social/cultural ideas are mentioned as well. The role of the body within the scope of the...

Properties of sigma-porous sets
Rmoutil, Martin ; Zajíček, Luděk (advisor) ; Zelený, Miroslav (referee)
In the present thesis we prove several new results concerning -porous sets. In the first two chapters we examine some properties of related sets in the space R while in the third chapter we concentrate on an entirely different problem formulated in the setting of topologically complete metric spaces. To be more specific, in the first chapter we prove non- -porosity of the set Ad of all real numbers x (0, 1) with decimal expansion containing the number 9 with density d. In spite of being relatively difficult, this new result has little importance in itself. It merely answers a natural question which arises from an article of L. Zajíček [8]. The main result presented in the second chapter is a significant improve- ment of the following result of R.J. Najáres and L. Zajíček from the article [5]: There exists a closed set F R which is right porous, but is not -left porous. Thus for any kind of "upper" porosity (i.e. a porosity defined using limsup) it is now even more unlikely for any connection between "left" and "right" to be discovered. From another work [10] of L. Zajíček arises the following question: If A X and B Y are two non- -lower porous G -subsets of topologically complete metric spaces X and Y , is it necessarily true that the Cartesian product A × B is also non- -lower porous? The article [10]...

Calculation of electron structure in the framework of DTF in real space
Čertík, Ondřej ; Vackář, Jiří (advisor) ; Šipr, Ondřej (referee)
In the present work we study ab-initio electronic structure calculations in real space using density functional theory (DFT), finite elements and pseudopotentials. We summarize the theory and full ab-initio derivation of all equations in finite elements, density functional theory and pseudopotentials, then we explain how our program works and we show results for spherically symmetric potentials in relativistic and nonrelativistic DFT and for 2D and 3D Schrödinger equation for symmetric and non-symmetric potentials.
