Analyze of imiges from the movie Nocturnal Butterfly
Park, Soyoung ; KUBÍČEK, Jiří (advisor) ; DUTKA, Edgar (referee)
Abstract
"Nocturnal Butterfly" is short animation film which is directed by Raoul Servais. This animation is Servais's homage to Belgian surrealist Paul Delvaux. This paper concerns comparative analysis between the images of Nocturnal Butterfly about male and female, butterfly, mirror, railway station, automaton, last freeze-frame, and motifs of Delvaux's painting.
At first, my research at overall characteristic of surrealism would show that Delvaux's painting shares such characteristic. André Breton who is a key man in surrealism believed that automatism is driving force for artistic creation, so he thought we must look into the unconscious and world of dream to create new aesthetic reality and to comprehend reality just as it is without prejudice caused by reason and rationality. Especially he tried for liberation of the consciousness through automatic drawing, collage and depaysement in surrealistic painting. Delvaux with Magritte used depaysement to give psychological shock to appreciator, so he used mythology as motifs to draw inner landscape unfamiliarly and mysteriously. And though idealized images of women he expressed own desire.
After, I would review other works of Raoul Servais. He has expressed own view in various ways by using new approach for each work. Through criticism at human civilization and mythicism of desire he has utopian attitude even though he has criticized absurdity of actuality circumstance. Nocturnal Butterfly has atmosphere fascinating and mysterious but unfamiliar than clear messages. It seems that the atmosphere of the work considerably results from images taken from Delvaux's painting. And Nocturnal Butterfly shows ambiguous and unfamiliar feeling of surrealism using shooting mode of live action films and photographic images.
Next, I would review images in Nocturnal Butterfly. Delvaux expressed idealized images of male and female as his central figure motives, but Raoul Servais expressed images of male and female as earthly images in Nocturnal Butterfly. Woman with movement in Nocturnal Butterfly is waiting someone and reacting to eyes from man rather than she is idealized being. But She is also mysterious being. She is dancing with another self appeared from mirror as her double, in fantastic and fascinating time. But when train in reality arrives and a man appears, the time is over. The man wearing a hat in Nocturnal Butterfly is like Delvaux?s self-image mixed with scientist and gentleman. The man watches the object of desire, and possesses the object. Delvaux?s painting as last scene in Nocturnal Butterfly seems to be index of photograph image displayed from both surrealism and movie. So it informs that this animation is not over but continues to a piece of reality. The result of analysis of the images in Nocturnal Butterfly shows that Nocturnal Butterfly is the most fascinating and mysterious new animation with weakened completion of narration unlike other works of Raoul Servais.

Perception and production of graphic design in different cultures
Čermák, Radim ; Sigmund, Tomáš (advisor) ; Krsek, Libor (referee)
The modern world is more and more dependent on information. As grows its importance, so does its quantity. That is why the good communication, especially the visual one, is indispensable for the proper disclosure and addressing of potential recipients of information. Graphic design provides the form of visual communication. The interconnection of different cultures is linked with the quick pace of globalization - thus the communication with different cultures is important. Each culture is based on specific values that can vary and very often do to a great extent. These values are then reflected in all areas of human activity, graphic design included. At first, we define the term culture and have a look at the process by which we acquire it - to find out its influence on us. We use as a means the interdisciplinary approach which draws knowledge on cognitive science, neuroscience, psychology and anthropology. Next, we focus on the principles of visual perception and studies concerning the difference in behavior and visual perception in different cultures. We divide the world on the basis of culture-shape events into different cultural units and we analyze graphic design in different cultures by using the knowledge from the previous chapters. We point out the principles and potential pitfalls of symbols and colors in the communication with other cultures. We describe the way how the paradigm of cultural values is reflected in the graphic design and we try to capture the features of visual communication typical for each culture.

Creation and evaluation of Psycho-training programme on base of yoga techniques for endurance runners.
RAŠKOVÁ, Martina
I would like to write my Bachelor Thesis about the development and evaluation of the psycho-training program, based on yoga techniques for endurance runners. The participants of the program consist of 8 male runners and 2 female runners form 26 to 42 years old. The runners group is focused on long-distance runners. All of the runners passed the entrance psychological tests before start of the program. The psychological training program was running for 3 month and consists of 12 lessons. Every lesson takes 90 minutes. The runners filled the outcome tests after the program. I used following methods: Self-perception scale POP (VÁLKOVÁ, 1995), Method of unfinished sentences (VÁLKOVÁ, 1995), POMS ? Profile of Mood States (Czech version MAN, STUCHLÍKOVÁ, HAGTVET, 2005), Free notice (SKALKOVÁ, 1983). The acquired data confirmed that the psychological training brings positive impact on psychological resistance of the participants during the longtime stress. It is useful for improving of concentration, relaxation of muscle pressure after performance, better self-conscious and higher stamina. On summary we can state that regular yoga training brings all-purpose positive impact on human being.

Informatization and Social Realities - Application to Domain of Global Economy
Galatík, Lubomír ; Rosický, Antonín (advisor) ; Sigmund, Tomáš (referee)
Information and communication technologies constitute a substantial part of today's world. Growing informatization, i.e. implementation of these technologies, in all areas of human activities generates a need to reflect upon their influence on man and society. The significance of this intellectual endeavor is accentuated by the very nature of these technologies. Since they are inserted between individuals in acts of mutual communication their application impacts on information processes within the frame of human societies. This factor takes effect everywhere, no less in the economic environment. In consequence of recent events which gave rise to a financial meltdown at first and an economic crisis later, the necessity to inquire into the effect of informatization on the domain of arrangement of economic relationships acquires its sense of urgency. At present, however, there is a significant gap between the theoretical framework which man uses to intellectually embrace these phenomena and the application of the technologies in question in which a disproportionately greater amount of resources are being invested. Therefore our capability of capturing in our train of thought the changes in the socioeconomic environment of today caused by informatization lags behind the very speed and dynamics of the changes. For that reason, the objective of this diploma thesis is to create a methodological-phenomenological framework for deliberation on the influence of information and communication technologies on the globalizing economy. The fundamental attribute which induces far-reaching transmutations in this field is the virtualization potential that the modern, symbolic and highly interactive forms of these technologies have obtained. As they began to be implemented in the frame of the arrangement of economic relationships, they impinged on a domain whose inner dynamism has already split into two components -- virtual and real -- by the symbol of value -- money. Another layer of virtualization related to the information and communication technologies as such therefore transforms the economy into a much more complex whole, the research of which poses an intellectual challenge as well as a necessity as the changing character of the globalizing economy shelters many pitfalls. This thesis offers theoretical points of departure for grasping the issues in question.

Nursing barrier care in the ICU
DUŠKOVÁ, Ludmila
Barrier nursing care is one of the important methods falling under the area of prevention of nosocomial infections which should be known and adhered to by nurses during the execution of their work. The theoretical part of the thesis deals with nosocomial infections and the characteristics of intensive care and it explains the principles of barrier nursing care. The practical part of the thesis inquires into the nurses´ knowledge of the principles of barrier nursing care, the adherence to these principles and the aids needed for caretaking using the barrier nursing technique. The research inquiry was carried out using quantitative research method. Data collection was realised by a questionnaire. Three goals had been set. Goal 1: Finding out what knowledge the nurses working in intensive care departments have about the principles of barrier nursing care. Goal 2: Finding out what principles of barrier nursing care are adhered to by nurses working in intensive care departments. Goal 3: Finding out what problems nurses working in intensive care departments identify in terms of the adherence to the principles of barrier nursing care. To specify the goals, four hypotheses were laid out. Hypothesis 1 stating that nurses in intensive care departments know the principles of barrier nursing care wasn´t affirmed. As the nurses do not adhere to the principles of barrier care during the execution of their work, we suppose they do not know them. Hypothesis 2 stating that nurses in intensive care departments research information concerning the principles of barrier nursing care wasn´t affirmed. Only 58.5 % of nurses are interested in educational events dealing with the principles of barrier nursing care. The remaining nurses (41.5 %) would not attend training events. Hypothesis 3 stating that nurses in intensive care departments work in adherence to the principles of barrier care was not affirmed. Out of seven questions testing work habits of nurses during caretaking according to the principles of barrier care, only one was answered correctly by more than 70 % of the nurses. Hypothesis 4 stating that nurses in the departments of intensive care do not identify the problem with caretaking according to the principles of barrier nursing care in the lack of aids was affirmed. Most nurses (89.6 %) think they have enough aids for caretaking according to the principles of barrier nursing care at their disposal in their workplace. The result of the research inquiry also point to the principles the nurses adhere to. These include using aids necessary for caretaking by the barrier nursing technique and isolating the patient in a separate room or a closable box. The nurses state that acute states of health related to intensive care represent a problem which sometimes leads to breaking the principles of barrier care while taking care of the patient. The research revealed the need to motivate nurses to acquire more profound information in this area of problems and to adhere to the principles of barrier nursing care. Furthermore, it is necessary to monitor nurses more during the execution of their work and point out their malpractice to them in time. The result will be submitted to the management of the hospital where the research inquiry took place. Our recommendations, which should contribute to raising more interest in the area of problems of nosocomial infections and barrier nursing care on the part of the nurses, can be proposed to the management. The cause of the low level of awareness and low interest in acquiring more knowledge about barrier nursing care on the part of the nurses could be a further research issue.

Potential of the sentinel-2 red edge spectral bands for estimation of eco-physiological plant parameters
Malenovský, Zbyněk ; Homolová, Lucie ; Janoutová, Růžena ; Landier, L. ; Gastelluetchegorry, J-P. ; Bertholt, B. ; Huck, A.
In this study we investigated importance of the spaceborne instrument Sentinel-2 red edge spectral bands and reconstructed red edge position (REP) for retrieval of the three eco-physiological plant parameters, leaf and canopy chlorophyll content and leaf area index (LAI), in case of maize agricultural fields and beech and spruce forest stands. Sentinel-2 spectral bands and REP of the investigated vegetation canopies were simulated in the Discrete Anisotropic Radiative Transfer (DART) model. Their potential for estimation of the plant parameters was assessed through training support vector regressions (SVR) and examining their P-vector matrices indicatingsignificance of each input. The trained SVR were then applied on Sentinel-2 simulated images and the acquired\nestimates were cross-compared with results from high spatial resolution airborne retrievals. Results showed that contribution of REP was significant for canopy chlorophyll content, but less significant for leaf chlorophyll content and insignificant for leaf area index estimations. However, the red edge spectral bands contributed strongly to the retrievals of all parameters, especially canopy and leaf chlorophyll content. Application of SVR on Sentinel-2 simulated images demonstrated, in general, an overestimation of leaf chlorophyll content and an underestimation of LAI when compared to the reciprocal airborne estimates. In the follow-up investigation, we will apply the trained SVR algorithms on real Sentinel-2 multispectral images acquired during vegetation seasons 2015 and 2016.
