Automatic Link Detection in Parts of Audiovisual Documents
Sychra, Marek ; Černocký, Jan (referee) ; Szőke, Igor (advisor)
This paper deals with topic detection. Specifically link detection - finding similarities amongst a group of short documents according to their topic and story segmentation - finding borders between two topically different parts in a large document. The main motivation for research was practical application with the use of presentation materials from lectures at FIT (linking parts of different lectures and courses). The solution of link detection is achieved by text and word analysis, which includes learning the meaning and importance of each word. Story segmentation uses this while searching for the boundaries. Both parts of the problem (link detection, story segmentation) gave great results while testing with a standard dataset (world news reports). During evaluation of lecture processing the success rate was lower, but still good.

Analysis of cognitive functions in recombinant inbred strains of rats produced by crossbreeding of SHR and BN Lx. lines
Hatalová, Hana ; Stuchlík, Aleš (advisor) ; Pravenec, Michal (referee)
This MSc. thesis deals with dissecting the link between memory, genetics, and metabolic syndrome. Memory is a very complex behavioral trait, probably influenced by innumerable factors. For this experiment HXB/BXH rat recombinant inbred lines (n= 30) and their parental strains (n=2) were used to be trained in the hippocampus dependant spatial learning task called Allothetic Active Place Avoidance. Rats were to memorize sector of a rotating circular arena, which they were to avoid, being motivated by receiving an electric shock upon entering the forbidden sector (4 training sessions; shock sector on the North, 1 retrieval session (no shock), and 3 reversal sessions, to-be-avoided sector facing South; each session 20-min long, retrieval 10-min). Control experiments to exclude impact of motor or sensory abnormalities were run in a form of open-field test and beam-walking test. Correlation with metabolic phenotypes was conducted in an online database of known HXB/BXH phenotypes (GeneNetwork.org). The results showed that differences in learning were significant between the groups (p<0.05); correlation analysis indicated no putative link between selected traits related to metabolic syndrome and memory in rats. The genetic analysis showed a suggestive locus on chromosome 20 for a learning parameter, and...

A Journey to Prehistory
Filipová, Markéta ; Rozbořil, Blahoslav (referee) ; Kvíčala, Petr (advisor)
The topic of my bachelors degree is closely linked to the movie shot by Karel Zeman. It is a story about four boys who decide to travel to the beginning of the time. The whole complex is connected to the opening scene of the movie, when the boys float through the cave into prehistory. This scene became symbolic and also the motif of the "journey" is present nearly in all the paintings. Journey to the beginning of time is a metaphor to study of prehistory. It is a mental travel to the history, travel that helpes us to understand the forgotten reality.

Town-twinning in Europe- Case study of the towns of Banyuls-sur-Mer and Kralupy nad Vltavou
Čubová, Lenka ; Maslowski, Nicolas (advisor) ; Novotná, Markéta (referee)
This Bachelor's thesis deals with the phenomenon of town twinning in Europe with a special focus on the Czech-French relations. Firstly, it gives a brief overview of the town-twinning's history in Europe and anylyzes how the motivational factors of the twinned towns have changed over time. The remaining part is dedicated to the case study of the Czech town Kralupy nad Vltavou which has been twinned for more than 20 years with the town of Banyuls-sur-Mer located in the southern France. Three chapters, The involved entities, The system of funding and The political background look into features who concern not only the aforementioned towns but any twinned municipalities in general. Furthermore, it sets the main points of twinning-exchange-trips as well as the culture differences and possible problems linked to them. In the final portion of this thesis, possible options for future development between Kralupy nad Vltavou and Banyuls-sur-Mer are set forth. More importantly, it reflects on the future of town-twinning in general.

Advantages and disdvantages of the temporary foster care in the view of partakers - selected experts and applicants
URBANOVÁ, Magdalena
Abstract In the year 2000, an amendment about the social and legal protection of children was accepted. In this amendment, a special modification is anchored which enables a short-term foster care. For this type of substitute family care, the term ?temporary foster care? is used. The theoretical part is dedicated to the importance of the family, the transformation of the substitute family care, experience with temporary foster care abroad, positive consequences and risks of temporary foster care. In the introduction, there is a special chapter dedicated to the attachment, the importance of family and its influence on the child´s development. The chapter about experience with professional foster care in Slovakia follows. I chose this country because it has long-term experience with temporary foster care and its culture is very similar to the culture of our country. Then, two most important chapters follow. Their topics are positive causes of temporary foster care (in this chapter, three most important contributions of temporary foster care are mentioned) and seven risks of temporary foster care. The theoretical part of my thesis is closed by the chapter ?Theoretical Foundations and Suggestions of Explorational Research?. This part inspired the creation of the topics of the interviews. The aim of my thesis was to find out what the opinions of the respondents to the temporary foster care (it means workers from the organ for social and legal protection of children, psychologists, doctors, and applicants) are. To describe the positives and negatives of this form of substitute family care according to them. The interviews were led with specialists and temporary fosters. The specialists were chosen with the help of the director of the institute for children requiring immediate help, who arranged the contact to them. The other source was a worker for OSPOD, who mediated the contact to temporary fosters. For the collecting of data, I used the quantitative method, the technique of guided interviews. I evaluated the collected data by the approach of the thematic content analysis and so I created categories that were divided into two main groups: contributions and risks of temporary foster care. In the first category, I found out three basic contributions of temporary foster care: immediate placement of the child into a substitute family, establishing of the child´s emotional attachment to the foster mother and to other family members and preventing emotional deprivation. In the field of risks of temporary foster care, I was concerning with the question of interrupting the relation between the family members and the child from the parents? and ?siblings ´? point of view and also from the perspective of the child. The next question referred to the lack of temporary fosters and the succession of the long-term care for children. Then I wrote about the motivation of temporary fosters, the contact to the biological family, suitability for all children and also services for fosters ? preparatory courses and services of accompanying. In the next part of my thesis, in the chapter ?Discussion?, I think about the individual fields, especially about how these fields are linked together and how they influence and fill in each other. I finish my thesis with a conclusion, in which I briefly summarize the results. The aim of this thesis is to show what contributions and risks the system of temporary foster care can bring. Since this system is at the beginning of its functioning, it would be suitable to repeat this research in a certain period of time. Then, both the specialists and fosters had more experience and a lot of knowledge described here could be worked out more widely.
