Absolute Pitch: Theoretical Concept and Practical Issues
Bártová, Jitka ; Váňová, Hana (advisor) ; Pecháček, Stanislav (referee)
The thesis aims at complex assessment of absolute pitch both theoretically and practically. It describes the functioning of ear and main issues related to processing of sound and tone height. In addition, it clarifies related terms stemming from musical psychology. Especially, it endeavours to identify causes of absolute pitch and factors which form it. The thesis surveys several phenomena connected with absolute pitch, for example with synesthesia, and with other aspects such as occurrence of absolute pitch among population. It uses not only the Czech but especially English written literature which has not yet been used in such a scope in the Czech musical research.

The thesis surveys several phenomena connected with absolute pitch, for example with synesthesia, and with other aspects such as occurrence of absolute pitch among population. More practical part of research consists in a questionaire used for verification of hypotheses related to absolute pitch. The thesis uses not only the Czech but especially English written literature which has not yet been used in such a scope in the Czech musical research.

Opportunities for Implementing Multisensory In-store Marketing, Demostrated by Apple In-store Communication
Lišková, Iva ; Jesenský, Daniel (advisor) ; Koudelková, Petra (referee)
The Bachelor's thesis entitled "Opportunities for Implementing Multisensory In-store Marketing, Demonstrated by Apple In-store Communication" addresses the marketing possibilities for including all of our senses in a retail store experience. It illustrates those marketing possibilities with current examples of Apple in-store communication. The first theoretical part defines in-store marketing communication, its terminology, provides information about multi sensory marketing and subsequently analyzes each of our senses with the potential for their in-store implementation. In the second part of the theses, theoretical knowledge is used from the first part to describe in-store marketing communication at branded Apple stores, as well as at premium resellers that are found in the Czech Republic, such as iStyle, iSetos, and iWorld. Information about branded Apple stores is gained from literature and on-line sources. Information about premium resellers comes from my own observation and interviews with their employees. The main focus is on the description of the current situation, comparisons and finding new opportunities to implement our senses at in-store marketing communication at Apple stores and their premium resellers.

Integration of children and young people with cochlear implants in terms of mainstream schools
ŠVEHLOVÁ, Tereza
My bachelor´s thesis deals with the issue how to integrate children, young people as well as adults with the hearing defect. Concretely, I decided to focus on persons being provided with a cochlear implant who want to integrate into the regular educational process. The reason why I have chosen this issue is the fact that this is one of the mostly discussed parts of the world including the hearing defects and just the controversial theme whether to provide a child with the implant or not appeals to many supporters as well as opponents. Everything depends on the way how the patient undergoes the rehabilitation before and after the implantation of a cochlear implant. The way how parents co-operate with specialists and the SPC facility (Special Educational Centre for People with Hearing Defects) influences the patient in the social world, education and the working process. I want to present that the sooner an effective work with the patient starts, the easier the integration into the regular educational process is, not only for the patient with a defect himself/herself but also for his/her family and other people surrounding him/her.

Diseases of the eye and ear in dogs
Plocová, Markéta ; Fiala Šebková, Naděžda (advisor) ; Chmelíková, Eva (referee)
The work deals with the description of selected diseases of the eye and ear. In order to better understand the different diseases and disorders caused by them, there is first described the anatomy and physiology of the competent organs of vision and hearing, and the location of their centers in the brain. Some breeds, due to their anatomical and genetic foundation have predisposition to certain diseases or disorders. Selected diseases of vision and hearing are described in view of anatomical and physiological eventually. Part of the description of diseases is also an overview of the clinical signs and symptoms. Some of selected diseases are genetic and can be inherited from generation to generation. For these heritable diseases are mentioned the possible candidate genes and their localization. Next I explain the congenital diseases that may occur during prenatal or postnatal development. For each disease I present the table with breeds where the disease occurs.
Eye diseases mentioned in this work are largely genetic in origin, so there is described in detail the genetic basis of the disease with a potential name of the candidate gene, the mutation and its localization. I deal with the diseases of the Primary Lens Luxation (PLL), Canine Multifocal Retinopathy (CMR), Multifocal Retinal Dysplasia (MRD), Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA), Dry eye syndrome and curly hair (CKCSID), Glaucoma, Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA) . For these hereditary diseases, it is important for breeders to eliminate their occurrence with the consistent breeding work.
The most common diseases of the ear are called otities, ie. ear infections. These infections can lead to damage and finally to the complete loss of hearing. As a separate chapter I mention hearing disorder in Dalmatians, which is associated to the coat color. Next I deal with the neurological symptoms of ear disease, complication associated with total canal ablation and bulla osteotomy, pathological changes in congenital ear disorder MPS (Mucopolysaccharidosis), disorders of the inner ear and the vestibular system.
Finally, it should be noted that thanks to the latest findings of diseases, they are better described and it is achieved better recognition of diseases and their causes, but their prevention is dependent on the origin of the disease. For diseases obtained it is important for the dogs to ensure the welfare conditions, while for hereditary diseases it is necessary the negative selection in the respective breeding of the affected breed.
