Ceramic altarpiece
KVAPILOVÁ, Petra
The dissertation contains both practical and theoretical part. I deal with history and conception of the church in which the altarpiece will be adjusted in theoretical part. Furthermore, I allude to all proprieties that are associated with person of Saint Prokop - his life, studies, education and miracles which got him to awareness of the public. I describe the Dalej cave near Prague where he lived in, I make reference to extanted re-lics and I am also engaged in a fate of St. Prokop{\crq}s remains. I am showing up the moti-vation resources, iconography of the Saint and I am describing the technologic procedu-re of work. I attach the most original proposals of altarpiece to the practical part and also the photographs produced during altarpiece creation. First of all I am separately solving zoomorphic character of devil in which I am searching the right expression and repre-sentation of evil. Next I am studying anatomically the statue of the Saint and I am trying to find a move in which I want to capture him to get the dynamic and thrilling scene. Finally I propose the disposition which has a diagonal character. I am making the potte-ry relief that is realized as a set of glazed tiles adjusted on wooden plate in the same size as the original altarpiece was. The last part of dissertaion contains the photomontage of positioning in the sacral space of the church.

Virtual construction of social reality through online communication and social networks
Klouček, Viktor ; Rosický, Antonín (advisor) ; Sigmund, Tomáš (referee)
This final paper is centered on influence of the internet in forming of social reality. Main factor in creation of social reality is element of socialization, say communication. The aim of this paper is online communication and socialization developed through chats, discussion groups, blogs, forums summarized by one term -- social networks, which gained very strong position among communication applications available on the internet. I have tried to find out how online communication influence people and how close one can get in creation of social reality in virtual settings in correlation with other members of such settings. Technology of today creates new forms of communication and new ways and connections among members of online communication groups, which differ from the real ones. Distance is no longer an issue and it is completely natural to interact, thus influence somebody and be influence by somebody, from a different geographical, social, economical or political settings. All of these factors directly influence construct of social reality of those who communicate. Study was conducted as a survey. Questionnaire was sent to two hundred people and 107 returned back. More than half of 107 respondents don't know each other, come from various social classes and different areas of Czech Republic. Range of age of respondents is 15-63 years. All of them were given questions aiming at the reality of virtual communication, virtual friendship and bonds between online members. Other questions aim at the authenticity of information and partially influence of commercials in process of decision making. My contribution to this work was mainly creation of questioner, analysis of answers towards conclusions about the influence of online communication on perception and forming of social reality. Analysis that aimed at respondents spending most of their time online brought interesting conclusions in comparison with other groups, which didn't spent as much time online. The paper begins with theoretical summary of reality, its construction, online applications and scientific papers which include their positive and negative impacts. Following there is study introducing respondents, basic questions, hypothesis and then interpretation of answers with previous studies taken in account. Outcome of this work concludes main aspects of interpretations and draw basic view of the future. The questionnaire and more detailed answers about time spent online are in the appendix.

Problem Posing and Problem Solving in a Mathematical Competition
Patáková, Eva
Mathematical competitions are important for the development of knowledge of students who are gifted in Mathematics as well as for the motivation of all students. There are a lot of mathematical competitions and their ways of organization, aims and target groups differ from each other. The aims of my work were: To map theoretically the field of problem posing and problem solving in mathematical competitions; to create a summary of mathematical competitions held in the Czech Republic with an emphasis on problem posing and problem solving; to design and test a set of problems for one concrete mathematical competition; to create a self-reflection of my activities as a material for other authors of problems for a similar competition; and to analyze students' solutions. Readers can get acquainted with the Mathematical Correspondence Seminar "Pikomat" in detail in this diploma work. In my self-reflection, all the activities needed to organize a seminar are described. Most attention is given to posing problems and other texts for a seminar as well as to an item analysis of students' solutions of all created problems (problem solving). This analysis examines the abilites of students to solve the problems and serves as feedback about the suitability of the problems used. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Konstrukce výnosové křivky
Antas, Vilém ; Stádník, Bohumil (advisor) ; Teplý, Petr (referee)
The goal of this thesis is to analyze the mathematical apparatus of the most widespread methods used for the yield curves construction. It aims to introduce not only the various of construction models but also to describe the whole process of creation, while discussing the advantages and disadvantage of individual methods. The first chapter focus on the general theory and the use of the term structure of interest rates in practice. The second part deals with the construction process itself and describes the most frequently used methods. The last chapter then shows the real application of selected methods on given data set and the use of the constructed yield curves for interest rate derivative valuation too.

The history and development of skiagraphy
Dvořáková, Kristýna ; Hořák, Jaromír (referee) ; Daníčková, Kateřina (advisor)
This bachelor thesis "The Evolution of Radiography" deals with sequential development of this imaging method. It covers time period from discovery of X-rays by Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen in 1895, over the conventional Radiography to the current methods and trends of the digital Radiography. For this important discovery, Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, german physicist, got the Nobel Prize in 1901. This work provides complex information about X-ray technology and describes the image creation procedure. The "Analog Radiography" chapter describes Radiography equipment and the projection type transition: from the conventional film screen radiography to the computed and direct radiography. In case of the Computed radiography (CR) the cassette containing the X-ray film is replaced by a cassette with the photostimulable phosphor. The manipulation with the cassette is almost the same. But we don't need the dark room to get the final image, it is replaced by the reading device - the scanner. The simplest and optimal imaging system for future is the direct radiography (DR). The direct radiography uses two types of semi-conductor detectors described in detail in this work: with direct and indirect conversion of X- rays to electrical impulses. These semi-conductors are placed under the Bucky grid on examination table or on the...
