Possibilities of the music objects operations
Svoboda, Tomáš ; Hons, Miloš (advisor) ; Tichý, Vladimír (referee)
This thesis deals, first of all, with the different ways of dividing music space (Chapters I-III). It can be divided into two dimensions ? sound dimension and time dimension. The structure of each dimension can be further divided. In this way, within each dimension will be created various (sound and time) objects, decided either by the concrete structure, or, if the structure cannot be assigned, by an outline describing the shape of the object. Only by combining objects from both dimensions, will types of music objects be created. Those which have no inner order will be called a group. By permutation of the elements of this group, different, precisely organised shapes will be created. Such objects will be called segments (Chapter IV.).
Chapter V. is dedicated to the music objects? operations. All operations are either partial (progressing in the frame of one dimension), or total (simultaneously progressing in both dimensions). Such operations are: transposition, multiplication, inversion, turn, etc.
This knowledge is to be used in the universal method of contemporary music analysis. In this way, the type of the music object and its changes caused by the ?operations? can be defined. As result, it will be possible to assess the structure of the composition as a whole. The information can also be used in the opposite way: as a compositional progression, consisting of creating objects and using them in ?operations?.

Education of women in the postpartum period
BĚHANOVÁ, Věra
This bachelor's thesis addresses patient education for postpartum women upon discharge from the hospital to a home environment. The section on theory contains a definition of the terms education, pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum period. The postpartum period is divided into physiological and pathological aspects. The changes a woman undergoes in the physiological postpartum period are divided into repair, involutional, hormonal, extragenital and lactation. The physical changes involve areas on which the women need to receive thorough instruction from the birth assistant, primarily regarding lifestyle changes during the postpartum period. Two goals were set up for the research section. The first was to determine how birth assistants educate women in the labor and delivery ward upon discharge to home care. The second was to determine whether the women made use of the information concerning the postpartum period. These goals raised three questions for research. Research question 1: In what areas do birth assistants educate women upon discharge to home care? Research question 2: What information was most important for women upon discharge to home care? Research question 3: What information did women lack during the patient education? The research part of the bachelor's thesis was carried out in the qualitative form of an investigation. The data was collected in the form of a semi-structured interview. The data acquired was analyzed by marking the text in various colors and then creating the main semantic categories and subcategories. Two research sets were put together. The first research set was made up of six birth assistants working on a maternity ward in a Prague hospital. The second research set was made up of 12 mothers who gave birth in the same hospital, stayed in the maternity ward, and had completed the six-week postpartum period. For greater objectivity the mothers selected were primiparas who could not draw on previous postpartum experiences. The answers from the birth assistants were arranged in one category (Education upon Discharge) and five subcategories (Areas of Education, Method of Education, Obstacles to Education, Importance of Education, Home Visits). The answers from the respondents (women after the six-week postpartum period is over) were also put into one category (Information Provided to Women) and eight subcategories (Expectations, Sources of Information, Areas of Education, Methods of Education, Evaluation of Education, Missing Information and Acquiring Missing Information, Need for Assistance, Opinion on Home Visits). The research showed that although birth assistants are aware of the importance of patient education and stated that they provide patient education on all areas necessary, the respondents received little to no information in certain areas. The problems they faced in the six-week postpartum period concerned breastfeeding and this was the very topic where the information provided to the mothers was most insufficient. This was because in the hospital where the research took place, breastfeeding is the exclusive responsibility of the pediatric nurses, so the birth assistants mostly leave patient education in this area to a pediatric nurse or pediatrician, who also provides patient education to mothers when discharging the infants. All birth assistants should give at least basic information on breastfeeding when providing patient education and give the mothers contact information for if they encounter difficulties in breastfeeding (e.g. the Czech National Breastfeeding Hotline, www.kojeni.cz). The output of this thesis is a brochure with information on the postpartum period, which women can take with them after being discharged to home care, and a patient education card which helps birth assistants with the education.

Foreign pupils at Czech school from their own view and from the view of their classmates.
Flousková, Klára ; Levínská, Markéta (referee) ; Bittnerová, Dana (advisor)
This paper is focused on a quite frequent topic of these days - the situation of foreign pupils at Czech basic schools from their own view and from the view of their classmates. How do the foreign pupils accommodate in the class? Do they have any difficulties with their different background? What does it mean for the Czech children when they are part of the multicultural class? What is important for them to integrate foreign pupils in their class? I looked at this topic from a holistic view, but I worked only with a small group of pupils - with a class. It enabled me to look at those relations more precisely. The class attended 20 children at the age of 13 to 15. Its society was very diverse. There were five pupils who declared themselves as foreigners and some other children have foreign relatives. Moreover, there are two mentally handicapped boys integrated in the class. I interviewed the whole class, let them write an essay and used a sociomctric questionnaire to get the data about topics meant above. What were the results? The class community is very sociable and tolerant to its members. Some handicap or different ethnic origin docs not cause any serious difficulties. The foreign pupils are satisfied in that class and in a whole school as well. The school institution and its positive climate enable...

Analysis of time as a narrative category in Old Norse sagas
Králová, Kristýna ; Starý, Jiří (advisor) ; Kadečková, Helena (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to set up characteristic attributes of saga time structure and with concern to these to show how the Old Norse people understood time. Main attention is concentrated on the time structure of the family sagas. First, it is shown the principal of the dating in saga and how it differs from the principal of dating in annal and chronicle. I proceed to deal with the most common time indications to appear in saga and their role in the storytelling. The focus point of this thesis is a comparison of narrated time and time of narration. To support this intention, I use the three concepts of Gerard Genette - duration, order and frequency. Based on the duration concept, I try to investigate why extensive time leaps abound in sagas and what on the other hand appears to have been given some extra author's attention. According to the order concept, a question is discussed to what extent the saga holds the chronological composition. Within the frequency concept, it is compared how many times an event occurs to how many times it is narrated. In the following chapters the time structure of the kings'sagas and the legendary sagas is discussed. The crucial difference between the time structure of these and the structure of family saga is established. There is a conclusion to each chapter,...

High-Performance Analytics (HPA)
Soukup, Petr ; Pour, Jan (advisor) ; Novotný, Ota (referee)
The aim of the thesis on the topic of High-Performance Analytics is to gain a structured overview of solutions of high performance methods for data analysis. The thesis introduction concerns with definitions of primary and secondary data analysis, and with the primary systems which are not appropriate for analytical data analysis. The usage of mobile devices, modern information technologies and other factors caused a rapid change of the character of data. The major part of this thesis is devoted particularly to the historical turn in the new approaches towards analytical data analysis, which was caused by Big Data, a very frequent term these days. Towards the end of the thesis there are discussed the system sources which greatly participate in the new approaches to the analytical data analysis as well as in the technological solutions of High Performance Analytics themselves. The second, practical part of the thesis is aimed at a comparison of the performance in conventional methods for data analysis and in one of the high performance methods of High Performance Analytics (more precisely, with In-Memory Analytics). Comparison of individual solutions is performed in identical environment of High Performance Analytics server. The methods are applied to a certain sample whose volume is increased after every round of executed measurement. The conclusion evaluates the tests results and discusses the possibility of usage of the individual High Performance Analytics methods.

Revitalization Program of Floral Garden in Kromeriz
Sedlák, Miroslav Gabriel ; Foretník, Jan (referee) ; Nový, Vítězslav (advisor)
The development of the town represented a key turning point in the life of the Flower Garden. Its entrance was relocated from the arcade in the upper part of the garden to its side, via the cour d'honneur. It means that visitors leave not having experienced the genius loci of the Flower Garden, since they entered the middle part of the garden “exhibition” without any previous explanation. The main idea of the entire project is to restore the garden into its original condition, which shall include the opening of a central pavilion and the possibility to enter the garden upon the “introduction” on the arcade in the upper part of the central axis. The project attempts to make use of the existing cour d'honneur as much as possible, which is finely renovated in order to be able to comply with the current requirements for a UNESCO World Heritage Site entrance building. The existing entrance building and cour d'honneur feature a foyer, restaurant, restaurant facilities and exhibition areas and supply off-loading area. The projected area features a new curve-defined exhibition area which represents reminiscence of a unique arcade. The new element is located in the upper third of the projected area and it is embedded in the surrounding terrain to create shallow passageway between the gardens. This embedding creates angularities running in opposite directions, one of which is designed as a ramp connecting the terrace on the arcade and the projected area. A florist’s is reconstructed in the lower part of the gardens (it is expected to be partly independent) with no relation to the applicable plan area. The florist’s is also interlaced with the axes of the Flower Garden, with the vision of the renovation of "rabbit’s hillock" and the reconstruction of a bird house with a body of water.

Support of education for children from developing countries
Walterová, Nora ; Vorlová, Marie (advisor) ; Kaplánek, Michal (referee)
This thesis explores initiatives in the developed world which are focused on helping and improving accessibility to education in developing countries. It considers the reasons why these activities are needed and highlights risks in an unbalanced relationship between the developed and developing world. The thesis indicates that insufficient access to education for all children in developing countries is one of the main causes of persistent poverty. The thesis also pictures the basis for development aid and assesses the Millennium Development Goals, which currently represent the largest UN initiative for development and poverty reduction. This thesis emphasizes the importance of education as an essential factor in the development of individuals and their societies and summarizes the major barriers to educational access that may be faced by children in the developing world. The final part of the thesis deals with one form of support for education; the sponsorship of disadvantaged children's education within developing countries, as mediated in the Czech Republic by the Child Sponsorship Program of the Charity Czech Republic, in conjunction with many similar projects managed by other organizations. This thesis evaluates the benefits and risks of child sponsorship. Furthermore, on the basis of research...
