Rock Fan as a Recipient of Marketing Communication
Palounek, Martin ; Riedlbauch, Václav (advisor) ; Stříteský, Václav (referee)
This thesis is primarily focused on collecting insights regarding rock music fan that can be applied to marketing communication. Its main aim is to describe how the rock fans are different from the major population in terms of descriptive characteristics, values, opinions and lifestyle. The points of parity and the points of difference are investigated on the level of rock sub-genres. The message, symbolism and main ideas present in rock music are examined, including historical and social context leading to the formation and development of the genre. We also tried to assign a specific archetype to rock and its sub-genres. We assume that rock fans are in some ways different from the rest of the population and that we are able to observe the differences on the level of sub-genres. However, we also expect that there are some points of parity symptomatic for all the rock genres. We suppose that artists and music marketers approach marketing communication mostly from the point of their own intuition and that they frequently use symbolism, historical references and archetypes in their way of communication. The research is comprised of three parts. First part is the analysis of secondary data from MML-TGI database by Median Research Company for year 2013. Used methodology: General analysis and cross analysis. The objective of the analysis was to determine differences between genres and subgenres in terms of descriptive characteristics, value system and verdicts about lifestyle. The next part of the research was the content analysis of notable rock album front covers for the purpose of deeper exploration of rock symbols. The last part of the research is comprised of interviews with music industry professionals who shared their opinion regarding genre characteristics, fans and marketing communication in real life.

This paper sums up the last stage of the project called ”Harmonization of Clinical Content in Electronic Health Record (EHR)”, which is being solved as author’s PhD project. The aim of this project was the clinical content modeling of EHR and transportation of medical data via communication standards (HL7 v3 and CEN EN 13606). An experiment was conducted where archetypes and openEHR templates were used to send patient’s information to another EHR-S. The results were compared to the previous solution based on HL7 v3 messages, which was described at the PhD Conference ’09. At the end of the paper the author discusses contemporary semantics description of real clinical data by means of ICD-10 code-list, which covers the qualitative point of view quite well. However, the quantitative view on semantics of clinical data is much more difficult and the inevitability of medical ontologies usage is emphasized.

Petráš, Jaroslav ; Rosický, Antonín (advisor) ; Šubrta, Václav (referee)
Transdisciplinary focused work concentrates on the possibilities of the application of the system thinking in the various science branches. Out of system disciplines it studies in detail the system dynamics -- specifically Archetypes (general structures). Introduction to the general system theory can be found in the first section of the theoretical part. Next sections are more particular and refer to the main ideas of system dynamics and Archetypes. Next part of the work focuses on common methods of the economic analysis. Apart from their brief description there is also discussion about their main theoretical flaws. The economic analysis of the specific socio-economic issue (road speed limits) is performed in the last part of the work and it includes substantial usage of the Archetypes and general system-thinking attitude. Primary aim of this part is to confirm or disprove the hypothesis of the utility of Archetypes in the economic analysis.
