Comparison of analysis of speech in dependence on age and gender
Báňa, Josef ; Smékal, Zdeněk (referee) ; Atassi, Hicham (advisor)
This thesis deals with analysis of speech signal in dependence on the gender and the age of the speaker. We tried to investigate through the features to find the best set for the automatic classification of speakers. It also contains a brief discussion about the speech signal and its characteristics. We used a program called Praat for the speech analysis purpose. This program is also described in this work. We mainly focused on the suprasegmental features of speech. Our first step was to make our own speech corpus which should contain speech records from speakers with various age and gender. We made the analysis using Praat and reported it within this thesis. For the automatic classification purpose, twelve features were selected basing on there quality criteria and used with a neural network to classify the speakers to classes with different age and gender. As it was mentioned, a neural network was used as a classifier. We used “Neural Network Toolbox” in the Matlab program to create and train our networks.

The Types of Volunteers in the Volunteer Centre
KOLPASKÁ, Kateřina
Anyone who wants to dedicate his or her time, energy, knowledge or abilities in favour of other people or society can become a volunteer. There is wide range of services and tasks where a volunteer can be used. The volunteer{\crq}s activities are conveyed and coordinated by a volunteer centre. The mission of a volunteer centre is the promotion and support of the voluntary work in the society. The theoretical part of this thesis is focused on the explanation of the basic terms, history and the types of voluntary work. The Czech Voluntary Work Act (zákon o dobrovolnické službě {--} Law No. 198/2002 Sb.) which defines the terms as volunteer, voluntary work, structures organizations, that deals with the acreditations of volunteer centres, is also mentioned. This thesis is further dedicated to the types of volunteers from the aspect of motivation, social rank and values. It consideres the volunteer centre in general, the Volunteer Centre of the ZSF JU and the chosen volunteer programmes of ZSF. The objective of this thesis is the qualitative mapping of criteria (motivation, values and social rank) which influence the volunteer who enters the Volunteer Centre of the ZSF JU in České Budějovice. The questioning method and questionnaire technique has been used for the quantitative reasearch. The monitored group was formed by volunteers from the volunteer programmes of the Volunteer Centre of the ZSF JU. Based upon the monitoring of this data, it is obvious that from the aspect of social rank, female students from the Faculty of Health and Social Studies are the ones who most often become volunteers in the Volunteer Centre of the ZSF JU. It has been further discovered that the volunteers in the Volunteer Centre of the ZSF JU profess non-material values (such as love, friendship, education, hobbies and interests) and, as the main motivation that these volonteers have considered are: to help other people and to also gain new experiences and skills. The results of my Bachelor`s thesis could serve as information material for the Volunteer Centre of the ZSF JU or similar university volunteer centres.

The entire work is also meant to evaluate possible solutions, the positive and negative aspects and summarize final thoughts. The first part contains an introduction to the origins of the drugs and the implementation of the drug production in Mexico. Another chapter is devoted to the actors themselves: the Mexican government, drug cartels and the US. Emphasized is especially their role in the conflict and their development. The second half of the work deals with the drug war itself, about its progress and obstacles. The final chapter describes possible solutions through which the Mexican government could win the drug war.

Copmplex conception of health and sustainable developement
Krýslová, Simona ; Rynda, Ivan (advisor) ; Haškovcová, Helena (referee)
My diploma thesis deals with the topic of health and sustainable development. I am working with two topical Euro-American concepts, the socio-ecological model of health as promoted by the WHO (holistic concept of health) and the strategy of sustainable development as I acquainted myself with it during my studies at the School of Humanities of the Charles University. First of all, I analyse both concepts by means of expert sources. I emphasize their characteristic features, compare them and carry out a synthesis. On grounds of that I demonstrate three established hypotheses: 1. the holistic concept of health and the strategy of sustainable development with regard to their historical development are not only complementary but also mutually conditional concepts; 2. the holistic concept of health and the strategy of sustainable development have many common features; 3. the holistic concept of health is a natural and indispensable part of sustainable development. I began to be interested in interconnecting those topics in my diploma thesis in the moment I found out what both these interdisciplinary and systematic concepts have in common. At the same time, the interconnection was the most precarious part of my work. I did not expect to have any particular difficulties with separating individual features from...
