Rapid Thermal Processing
Korvas, Jan ; Boušek, Jaroslav (referee) ; Mojrová, Barbora (advisor)
This work is focused on technologies using rapid thermal processes (RTP) to improve technological procedures. Main reasons of implementation of RTP technologies has been financial and time-consuming nature of regular procedures. The scale of utilization of RTP in the electro-technical industry is very wide, starting with simple operations like contacting up to more complicated ones like oxidation in inert atmospheres. This thesis captures a development of those procedures with a focus on fabrication of solar cells. The experimental part is focused on a draft of equipment for bonding of solar cells using short wave and middle wave infrared heaters. This thesis is being created in cooperation with the company Solartec, s. r. o.

Speculative versus Fair Price of Crude Oil
Šlechta, Pavel ; Teplý, Petr (advisor) ; Serdarevič, Goran (referee)
The thesis deals with the topic of speculation on the crude oil market. This topic has been frequently discussed in association with the price hikes in 2008, but since the oil price has recently repeatedly reached levels over USD 100, the topic is still very present. In our thesis we analyze the connection between the increasing open interest on the New York Mercantile Exchange crude oil futures market, the supply and demand factors for the crude oil and the crude oil price. Based on an error correction model analysis of monthly observations between 1994 and 2011, we show how an increase in the open interest, which is currently already comprised by the non-commercial traders by one half, can lead to a persistent increase in the crude oil prices. We believe it is the risk premium on the market which stands for the long-run equilibrium of the open interest and prices. Such a risk premium on the market of crude oil could explain the part of the increase in prices which could have not been captured by the simple supply and demand, as for example the concern about the Hubbert's peak oil. We also test whether the oil price volatility increases the open interest on the market, which would mean that the price volatility could attract more speculative traders. Although we find Granger causality, we cannot...

Living History
Bradáčová, Iveta ; Edith, Jeřábková (referee) ; Kvíčala, Petr (advisor)
In my thesis I deal with the topic Living history. The term “living history” is a technical term used by sociologists, it names a group of people who stylized themselves in the past. The theme of living history is very interesting to me in the terms of time blending the past with the present - at the same place at the same time happens something that commemorates the event that took place many years ago. However, these could not be an exact reenactment of copies and reconstructions of ancient events. It is always about the present moment and the personal experience of participants. Therefore we can not say that they play only the fighters because they really live it, and they mean it serious. People who attend these gatherings, basically revive non-existent or dead people. They stopped themselves in the time and they relive again in sentimental and romantic way the ancient event. For my thesis I have chosen the Battle of Lipan, that did take place in the Gothic period in the year 1434. I did not choose the real battle of Lipan, but photos of his reenactment of 2014. On the Internet (rajce.net) I have found an album with photos of this event from 31.5.2014. Photos were taken probably by someone who was a member of this community because they seems to be personal ones. For example some of them were taken during a dinner with other participants. For this reason, I did not use my own photos because like a spectator I would not get so close to them. After viewing photos of the reenactment of the battle and after the visit of Marold´s panorama I was excited for the painting of the battle itself. I did many of paintings on the wall and on the papers, but later after some time I have lost the interest in repainting the picture of the battle by the photographs. I realized that in fact I paint meaningless characters in costumes and that I focus myself more on anatomical accuracy of their bodies instead of focusing on their expressions. After discovering this I knew, that I cannot continue in painting this way and that I need to change my approach. So I did return to a more detailed check of the photos and I have researched what I'm really most interested in on the photos. Already during painting, I gradually realized that I enjoy very much the ,,warriors" faces painting and catching the psychology that is hidden in their faces. While I examined the photos, I have noticed that the persons on the pictures have sympathetic expressions resembling expressions of people from the old Gothic paintings. These people are usually dressed in a simple, contemporary clothes, that is produced themselves, they eat a modest meal and they looks like a martyrs. Leaving the painting by photograph was very liberating for me, because I finally began to paint something what was not visible on the photos, but what I feel that it is hidden there. I realized that for me most interesting on my work are the today people with their lives, their actions and long-suffering expressions, they made present real dead warriors who fell in the battle of Lipan in 1434. It is the past captured in the faces of those present. And I find it incredibly interesting. After this realization, I am convinced that the best way to get closer to my fascination, I can just draw a face with present eyes and distinctive expression. There is no more need for me of painting the whole scenes from the battle.

Process modeling notations and their utilization
Bartošová, Kateřina ; Svatá, Vlasta (advisor) ; Juříček, Jan (referee)
The companies can choose from a wide range of tools and methodologies for mapping their processes. The key point is to select the right ones to ensure they will match with the purpose of process mapping and the process models will be clear and easy to understand for the entire stakeholder spectrum. For process modeling we often use diagrams. We have notations that are very advanced, they can be very detailed and accurate. On the other hand we have those which are very simple and with only a few symbols they can capture basic ideas and attributes of the process. The aim of this thesis is to compare representatives from each group of notations and answer the question which notation is more suitable for different types of utilization of business process models. The representative of the advanced instruments is BPMN 2.0, which is compared with the basic flowcharts. The research is based on Delphi method.

Natural Language Processing of Textual Use Cases
Dražan, Jaroslav
Use cases written in a natural language are usually employed for specifying of functional requirements. The format of a use case is not standardized but use case sentences traditionally adhere to a simple structure and describe actions which are either communication actions (among actors and a designed system), or internal actions. The natural language is used because it is comprehensible for stakeholders and is universal enough to capture most of the requirements but it is difficult to analyze it in an automated way. Vladimír Mencl employed state-of-the-art linguistic tools to extract a behavior of a system under design from textual use cases. The behavior specification is described in form of pro-cases. His work shows that this is possible but he met several issues. In this thesis, we solve some of the issues. We propose an algorithm based on the Mencl's algorithm which allows to process more use cases than the Mencl's one and we describe a metric which evaluate a quality of parse tree. The metric helps to select the best parse tree of a use case step from parse trees generated by different linguistic parsers. It addresses the issue of eliminating an incorrect parse tree returned by a single parser.

The causes of the housing and financial crisis in the USA
Stelzerová, Tereza ; Mandel, Martin (advisor)
This study is focused on the causes of financial crises in the United States of America starting in 2007. There is mentioned a number of influences that had impact on this disfavourable economic development in this study. In the first part, there is mentioned the housing policy and government measures in providing mortgages. Further, there is explained the development of the banking system -- with the Federal Reserve System on one hand and commercial banks on the other. Their parts in this crises are explained in the second chapter, alongside with modern trends on financial markets. One of those trends was occurrence of new kinds of securities -- eg. CDO which is characterized. Rating agencies were also subjects which business behavior was one of the causes of this crises burst. In this study there is also captured simple line-out of events on the interbank market, when the crises became obvious. Last part is dedicated to comparison with other crisis of the modern history, especially the Great Depression.
