Image as a New Type of Reality
Aimová, Irena ; Bystřický, Jiří (advisor) ; Petříček, Miroslav (referee)
The text deals with the problem of the image and focuses mainly on evolution of different techniques of depiction and on transforming forms of visual representations. Images have a considerable impact on individuals and society because they can affect our ways of thinking and acting. They can also work as modes and schemes of visual perception and thus constitute our "image" of reality. Particular emphasis is given to contemporary transformation of the nature and function of images, as well as modes of reception related to new advances in communication technologies.

Critical look on internets expectations
Pobežal, Michal ; Mrkvička, Tomaš (advisor) ; Prázová, Irena (referee)
The diploma work proceeded from a hypothesis, that Internet will gradually lead to a development, similar to the one of TV or radio - thus that it will become a medium, through which a narrow group of owners of particular titles of this media will share on the profit generation and that after a certain period the entry of new subjects into this market will be limited in a same way as it is today in the world of electronic media and print. And also that the big internet web sites will enter the print and electronic media market or will influence it significantly. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Economic Diplomacy in the 21st Century
Sláma, Tomáš ; Plechanovová, Běla (advisor) ; Kučerová, Irah (referee)
This study examines the changing nature of the economic diplomacy in past and recent years. Since the end of the Cold War, there has been an important dynamics in the international relations. The consequences of this dynamics touch also the economic diplomacy, which is transformed by the effects of the economic globalisation and becomes more complex and important at the same time; it becomes one of the most influental instruments of state's foreign policy. The growing complexity means that there has been new players, issues and arenas emerged. New players, state and non-state; the latter have deep impact on the nature of economic diplomacy. Bussiness sector, represented mostly by transnational companies (TNCs) and "the global civil society" represented vy international non-governmental organisations (INGOs) shift the balance of power within the state. The central role of state is challenged and his power fragmentised. Except this horisontal widening of economic diplomacy yb growing numbers of its actors, it is also deepening in terms of its agenda. The national policies become internationalised or even globalised (services, investment, enviroment, customer protection, labour standards) and the regulation of international trade puts pressure on national governements to to reconsider the strategy and their...

The study village sewer system Prasklice
Gembalová, Barbora ; Mlčoch, Ondřej (referee) ; Hluštík, Petr (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with the assessment of the existing condition of the sewerage system and the proposal of measures for disposal of sewage in the village Prasklice. Submits a proposal for three options for improving the condition of the drainage and resolve the disposal of sewage. Option 1. consists in the design of new separate system and reconstruction of existing stormwater, the original combined system. To this option, including the proposal of the central sewage treatment plant. Option 2. includes the design of the pumping station for the diversion of sewage effluent to wastewater treatment plant that is proposed in the next village Pačlavice. Option 3. describes the reconstruction of the existing combined system and design of the central sewage treatment plant. The individual proposed technological solutions to the drainage and treatment of waste, is created overview of the economic performance. The object is to determine what the least economically demanding variant and show how subsidies can be used. Economically least demanding option was evaluated option 3. From an operational point of view it is most advantageous to variant 1., which will prevent future operating costs. The diploma thesis brings the village Prasklice a convenient solution for sewerage and sewage disposal in the village.

Industrial cooling systems
Doležal, Jan ; Horák, Petr (referee) ; Formánek, Marian (advisor)
This thesis describes the design of cooling ice rink. Cooling system design is based on a physical nature, measured data and observations from practice. The result is a proposal cooling system with the highest possible cooling factor, which uses waste heat for technology needs snow pit and hot water, in order to achieve the lowest cost of operation ice rink.

Ecotoxicological Evaluation of Polymers and Biologically Active Substances in Aquatic Environments
Kašpar, Otakar ; Beklová, Miroslava (referee) ; Chýlková, Jaromíra (referee) ; Kráčmar, Stanislav (referee) ; Vávrová, Milada (advisor)
To determine the ecotoxicity of analgetics, first the individual ecotoxicity values of individual analgetics are determined and then a mixture of two analgetics is tested. To determine the toxicity, both standard and alternative toxicity tests are used (daphnia magna, sinapsis alba, scenedesmus subspicatum, vibrio fischeri, thamnotoxkit FTM a daphnotoxkit FTM magna). The analgetics being whish tested are the commonly used medicines ibuprofen, ASA, diclofenac and paracetamol, which are the most frequently used medicines in the Czech Republic and whole Europe. To determine the ecotoxicity of the polymers, I‘m using an indirect method of examination, in which I determine the antagonistic or synergistic effects of the mixture of monomers from which the polymer is prepared and into which it slowly decomposes in nature. For the determination both standard and alternative toxicity tests are used. The polymers the toxicity of which is being determined are the habitually used polymer PET and the formaldehyde resine known as bakelite in Eastern Europe.

Grinding Angle Box Unit for Vertical Boring and Turning Machine
Zouhar, Michal ; Kukleta, Pavel (referee) ; Foller, Bronislav (advisor)
My diploma thesis solves project of grinding angle box unit for vertical boring and turning machine which extends technological possibilities of vertical lathe SKD 40/47D. The submitter ČKD Blansko Holding, a.s. demanded to work out assembly drawing, 3 construction drawings and necessary calculations. Spindle drive of grinding unit is implemeted by the aid of engine which is deposit in the sliding machine. Chucking equipment is realised with standart system which is used by ČKD Blansko.

Podmíněný Účinek Institucí na Hospodářský Růst: liší se systematicky úroveň institucí se stupněm hospodářského rozvoje?
Shvechikov, Ivan ; Klosová, Anna (advisor) ; Taušer, Josef (referee)
The institutional quality concept, advanced by academic literature as a mean to enhance output growth, suffer from the absence of a clear implementation strategy. Considering that developing countries usually lack resources to be able to afford large-scale universal institutional reforms, the lack of roadmap puts substantial obstacles to practical application of the given concept. This thesis therefore goes beyond the simple statement of institutional primacy and sets an objective to differentiate the institutional effects relative to the level of development. To test it empirically, fixed effects model is chosen and interaction terms between the measures of institutional quality and the share of middle class are employed. Obtained coefficients indicate that institutions promote economic growth only when middle class share exceeds 25%. At the same time, different aspects of institutional quality exhibit contradictory dynamics. The control of corruption becomes growth enhancing only when middle class constitutes over one third of the population, while the relevance of government effectiveness for economic growth on the contrary decreases with the enlargement of middle class. These findings confirm the presence of conditionality and deny the existence of universal recipe for institutional reforms. Implementation of better institutions based on context-specific approach would therefore bring greater results in terms of economic growth than the direct adoption of best-practice institutions, so intensively advanced by the World Bank and the IMF.
