ICT support for regional development
Očenášek, Vladimír ; Havlíček, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Vostrovský, Václav (referee)
There are many of different rankings in the world, which relate to information and communications technology. For example, United Nations e-Government survey evaluates expansion of e-government administration in 193 countries in the world every two years and publishes worldwide ranking of EGDI (e-government development index). Since 2003 web portals of the capitals of the largest countries in the world are evaluated evaluated by - Digital Governance in Municipalities Worldwide (Holzer et al., 2014) every two years. This rating is organized by the "The E-Governance Institute" which is part of Rutgers University Newark. Prague (15 in) was included for the first time in 2007. Prague was ranked in excellent 2nd place in 2009, in the period 2011 - 2012 was in 4th place and in the period 2013 - 2014, Prague ranked 10th. Our methods of evaluation are based on methods of Digital Governance in Municipalities Worldwide, which is focused on regional web portals. We evaluated 6 regional web portals using 40 parameters in the area privacy, usability, content, services, citizen and social engagement. For instance, we evaluated if web portal provides: online publications, multilingual access, GIS, calendar of events, searchable database of articles, accommodation reservation etc. For evaluation of regional web portals, we chose two regional touristic headquarters (Centrála cestovního ruchu -- Jižní Morava (www.ccrjm.cz), Jihočeská centrála cestovního ruchu www.jccr.cz)), one regional touristic web (Posázaví - vítejte v turistickém regionu kolem řeky Sázavy (www.posazavi.com)), two Austrian web portals, which represents cross-border cooperation between Austria and Czech republic (Urlaub am Bauerhof -- dovolená na selském statku (www.agroturistika-v-rakousku.cz), Rakousko -- přijeďte a ožijete (www.austria.info/cz)) and official touristic web portal of Switzerland (Officielle Website von Schweiz Tourismus (www.mojesvycarsko.com)). As it turned out during our model usage, which took into account five important areas, level of regional web portals significantly differ. Some criteria are fulfilled across the all sites, but some of them are partly or completely missing. Individual solutions therefore often prefer different criteria, thus providing different perspectives on the region and its issues. If all criteria were met, the informational content and thus even usefulness of the individual portals would rise. Theoretically, this would lead to a "content compatibility" of individual solutions, which would ultimately bring profit to users and consequently the visitors of their respective regions.

Účinné průřezy srážek elektronů s atomy vodíku
Benda, Jakub ; Houfek, Karel (advisor) ; Zamastil, Jaroslav (referee)
Although the collisions of electrons and atomic hydrogen has been studied for several decades, there is still neither a complete database of scattering data, nor a universal method that would let generate such data. For astronomical and other purposes the cross sections of electron-hydrogen collisions are necessary, in a broad range of energies - from tenths of electronvolt to millions of electronvolts. In this work the author concentrates on several established approaches to electron-atom scattering and confronts results of his own implementations of these methods against the published data and results of freely available computer codes. A special attention is given to the overlaps of different methods, so that in the end a database with easy user interface can be offered for common practical usage of scattering data in applied fields.

The body and landscape
Vlček, Martin ; Czumalo, Vladimír (advisor) ; Vaculíková, Michaela (referee)
The Body as a subject and object is the way and possibility how to be in a landscape which does not tell how to touch it, how to move within it, live and die. However, we could find and see which particular behaviour is preferred to others. The landscape is a vertically and horizontally widespread area and a platform for potential range of body activities. Thirdly it is also a material, body, changing in time. We would focus on the moment when the body is trying to fuse into the landscape. So similar, so different, they are. The way how to achieve it for a human body would be a task to live it through, personally, as first shown as Symbiosis, on some examples from visual arts (performance, and site-specific usage of the place potential). In the Second part we would consider understanding the landscape (world) through the narratives with metamorphoses, when both entities are carnal and the same (Synonymical: body as a landscape, landscape as a body). The last Part (Synthesis) concentrates on the arts, rituals, philosophy and other modes of the "life view" in the context of crossing borders and immersion of real and the "different" (in a way virtual) world. Keywords: Body, landscape, arts, mythology, philosophy

Transnational corporations and their social responsibility
Janda, Jan ; Jiránková, Martina (advisor) ; Procházková Ilinitchi, Cristina (referee)
Transnational corporations have become economic superpowers and their number is still increasing. Their influence is undeniable. Their activities penetrate into all corners of society, including the social and environmental area. However, their impact is not always perceived in a positive way. This bachelor thesis deals with the regulation of companies whose activities have crossed their homeland borders and its aim is to describe the change in behaviour of transnational corporations and reveal their real reason for being socially responsible.

Assessment of fracture risk for a langlauf ski made as a glass fibre reinforced sandwich
Láštic, Daniel ; Majer, Zdeněk (referee) ; Burša, Jiří (advisor)
The first part of bachelor’s thesis is devoted to basic theoretical knowledge about usage of sandwich theory of beams, which are made of different materials in the core and faces. This part includes brief description of composites (common car- rying component of sandwich structures) with emphasis put on the fibre compo- sites and laminates. A special characteristic of composites – orthotropy is men- tioned. The second part is focused on description of obtaining of elastic constants of materials used in the real cross-country ski by experiment, on stress calculation and fracture risk assessment in cross-country ski made as sandwich structure for the most adverse operational state. The solution is executed with the help of an- alytical formulas of mechanics of materials derived in this part. The problem is also solved using finite element method (FEM) employing ANSYS software.

Cryptography Acceleration Using GPU
Potěšil, Josef ; Čejka, Rudolf (referee) ; Lampa, Petr (advisor)
The reader will be familiar with selected concepts of cryptography consited in this work. AES algorithm was selected in conjunction with the description of architecture and software for programming graphic cards (CUDA, OpenCL), in order to create its GPU-accelerated version. This thesis tries to map APIs for communication with crypto-coprocessors, which exist in kernels of Linux/BSD operating systems (CryptoAPI, OCF). It examines this support in the cross-platform OpenSSL library. Subsequently, the work discusses the implementation details, achieved results and integration with OpenSSL library. The conclusion suggests how the developed application could be used and briefly suggests its usage directly by the operating system kernel.

Application of analytical techniques and chemometry for authentification of wine
Pořízka, Jaromír ; Karovičová, Jolana (referee) ; Jarošová, Alžběta (referee) ; Diviš, Pavel (advisor)
This PhD. thesis is focused on application of different analytical techniques for determination of elemental composition of Moravian wine combined with analysis of selected polyphenol compounds. Two spectrometric techniques were used for elemental analysis of wine – Mass spectrometry and Optical emission spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS and ICP-OES). Analysis of organic constituents of wine was evaluated by High performance liquid chromatograph with diode array detector (HPLC-DAD). Data from analysis of wine were used for construction of mathematical models for determining geographical origin of wine and for determining type of varietal wine. Data handling was performed by usage of multivariate statistical methods (cluster analysis, principal component analysis and canonical discriminant analysis). For the discrimination of wine by the geographical origin, two separate models for white and red wine were constructed. Effectiveness of discrimination of Moravian wine (with knowledge about origin) into 4 wine regions was 100 % successful for white wine and 96,43 % for red wine samples. Those models were used for cross validation test of unknown samples with result 95 % successfully classified samples of white wine and 82,15% of red wine. Besides that, mathematical model for discrimination and classification of varietal wine was made. Müller Thurgau, Riesling and Gruner Veltliner were discriminated by the usage of 8 elemental parameters. Discrimination success rate of known samples was evaluated by canonical discriminant analysis with 95,83% of correctly classified known samples and 70,83% of correctly classified unknown varietal wine (cross validation test). In addition to these part of research, impact of different grape production systems on elemental composition of wine and Vitis Vinifera was studied. The core of the study was to find the connections between the type of agriculture and chemical properties of wine and Vitis Vinifera. Two agriculture systems were assessed – Organic agriculture and Integrated pest management. . Results of this study showed that quantity and manner of pesticide application is very important factor affecting the final elemental composition of the grapevine and wine, especially the content of copper, zinc and manganese. That knowledge can be used in the future for creation of classification model of wine according to grape production system. For comparison of radical scavenging activity, electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (EPR) with DPPH method was used. In the case of this study, the influence of vine growing under different farming systems on the total antioxidant activity of wine was found to be insignificant.

Revitalization Program of Floral Garden in Kromeriz
Ondruszová, Veronika ; Ponešová, Barbora (referee) ; Jura, Pavel (advisor)
The aim of the project is to provide necessary facilities and services for visitors of the Flower Garden in Kroměříž (a UNESCO sight since 1998). The concept of the proposal is based on a partial respect to historic trace of buildings in Holland and Orange Garden and hitherto resulting definitons of the both gardens. The propsed buildings (a visitors' centre and a café) are situated cross-wise to the main axis of the formal part of the Flower Garden and divide the territory determined by a wall into several smaller parts. Consequently, built-up parts alternate with green garden areas. Each cross-wise path in the Garden leads to a certain target and guide visitors to explore new places. The entrance building is preserved in its almost original form with only its functional usage and consequent interior changes being solved. The southern part of the given territory is worked on only as a mass. A new pre-space of the green house is created, a new segmentation of garden areas and a new garden-shop green house with corresponding facilities is proposed which orientation agrees with the overall concept. The surroundings of a rabbit hill and a volary is drawn as a free adaptation of the original form. All garden areas are linked with a water area motif.

Image search using similarity measures
Harvánek, Martin ; Mašek, Jan (referee) ; Burget, Radim (advisor)
There are these methods implemented: circular sectors, color moments, color coherence vector and Gabor filters, they are based on low-level image features. These methods were evaluated after their optimal parameters were found. The finding of optimal parameters of methods is done by measuring of classification accuracy of learning operators and usage of operator cross validation on images in program RapidMiner. Implemented methods are evaluated on these image categories - ancient, beach, bus, dinousaur, elephant, flower, food, horse, mountain and natives, based on total average precision. The classification accuracy result is increased by 8 % by implemented modification (HSB color space + statistical function median) of original method circular sectors. The combination of methods color moments, circular sectors and Gabor filters with weighted ratio gives the best total average precision at 70,48 % and is the best method among all implemented methods.
