Machart, Filip ; Mlejnek, Josef (advisor) ; Novák, Miroslav (referee)
The diploma thesis Modern Dystopias and Theories of Totalitarianism deals with comparation of this two phenomena. The thesis is based on the concept of Giovanni Sartori. He understands the phenomenon of totalitarianism as ideal ending of the axis totalitarianism- democracy. Extreme points of this axis fulfill the role of unrealizable ideal regimes. In reality we can only move closer to them but modern dystopias may represent these ideal regimes. The diploma thesis is divided into theoretical and practical section. There is the analyse of five books in the theoretical section which deal with the theory of totalitarianism. The analysis contains the work of Sigmund Neumann, Hannah Arendt, Carl J. Friedrich and Zbigniew K. Brzeziński, Giovanni Sartori and Juan J. Linz. Each theory of totalitarianism is supplemented by reflection from other authors. There is the analyse of five dystopias (J. Zamjatin - We, A. Huxley - Brave New World, G. Orwell - Nineteen Eighty-four, M. Atwood - The Handmaid`s Tale, A. Moore, D. Lloyd - V for Vendetta) in the practical section. The analysis contains the storyline of the book, elements of totalitarian regime in the dystopia and inspiration of author for the world of dystopia. There is elaborated final comparation between theories of totalitarianism and modern dystopias...
Charger for a battery supply of an oscilloscope
Novák, Miroslav ; Martiš, Jan (referee) ; Vorel, Pavel (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the design and construction of a battery charger for an oscilloscope battery source. The output parameters of this charger are: output voltage 4.1 V and output current 15 A. The charger is designed as a flyback converter controlled by the integrated circuit UC3844. First, the possible topologies of the inverter are described. Then the selected flyback converter and the subsequent design of the power parts and the control circuit are described. Then the measurement where the transformer leakage was too large is described. Therefore, the following section describes the modification of the charger design, which uses a snubber network to eliminate the effect of leakage. This is followed by a description of the mechanical design of the charger. Finally, measurements of the charger are documented, testing problems are described, and the results obtained are evaluated.

The selection of these countries for comparative analysis has not been informed only by the shared history, but also by similar problems and challenges that these countries have been dealing with since their foundation in 1993 such as democratisation, economic and societal transformation, consolidation of constitutional institutions or the path towards the European integration. The study maps the experiences of actors of the executive power in both countries and points out the fact that the position of a prime minister in the political system has not exclusively been related to the personality of a prime minister. Furthermore, it is affected by an electoral system and party systems, the nature and stability of governments.
