Lexical Obsolescence and Loss: The Case of Early Modern English (1500-1700)
Volná, Veronika ; Tichý, Ondřej (advisor) ; Fernandez Alcaina, Cristina (referee) ; Černý, Miroslav (referee)
Literature dealing with the development of the English lexicon has been concerned primarily with new additions to the language's vocabulary, such as borrowings, coinages and word formation patterns, while the topic of lexical obsolescence and loss remains under-researched. In the Early Modern period, the rate at which new lexical items appeared in the English language was unprecedented, especially in the years 1590-1620, as documented in the Oxford English Dictionary's online Timelines feature. In tandem with the rapid expanding lexicon, there was a portion of the vocabulary that was undergoing obsolescence or complete disappearance. Over the course of the Early Modern period, English lost a significant portion of its word- stock, including those short-lived coinages or borrowings which had entered the language only several decades or centuries earlier. Using authentic examples from the EEBO (Early English Books Online) corpus, this dissertation provides an insight into the role of lexical obsolescence and loss in the development of Early Modern English. Based on frequency data, a list of candidates for obsolescence has been generated featuring words such as sacerdote (lat.), travalier (fr.), and breastlap (en.), all of which were common at the onset of the Early Modern period but had disappeared...
Habitat selection by dragonflies - effect of littoral and riparian vegetation
Bonková, Anita ; Černý, Martin (advisor) ; Waldhauser, Martin (referee)
Dragonflies form one of the important pillars of most aquatic ecosystems and play an important role in maintaining their balance. The main goal of this bachelor's thesis is to summarize current knowledge about the habitat preferences of members of the order Odonata, with a focus on the effect of littoral and riparian vegetation, which are critical components of aquatic biotopes and significantly influence the distribution, abundance and reproductive success of dragonflies. In my work, I focus on all developmental stages, from larvae to adults. These findings are important for the maintenance and revitalization of freshwater ecosystems, in which it is necessary to pay attention to the composition of littoral and riparian vegetation to support the diverse needs of this unique insect order. Key words: habitat preference, dragonflies, Odonata, riparian vegetation, littoral vegetation
Didactic Potencial of the Project-Based Approach to Teaching Journalistic Style and Media Education at Secondary Schools
Černý, Matouš ; Holanová, Radka (advisor) ; Vlčková, Jana (referee)
The main aim of this thesis is to describe and analyse the possible benefits of the project-based approach to teaching journalistic style and media education at secondary schools on the basis of my own pedagogical practice. The first, theoretical part deals firstly with the role of media and mass media in modern society, with an emphasis on the current state of the media environment in the Czech Republic and the habits of pupils in secondary schools in consuming media content. This is followed by a definition of the concepts of media literacy and media education, a set of publicly available inspirational sources, curricular anchoring of the topic and the perspective of Waldorf pedagogy. A basic insight into the characteristics of journalistic style and project-based learning is also provided. The second part of the thesis is devoted to a description and reflection on the project of creating a class student magazine at the Waldorf Lyceum in Prague. First, the principles of teacher self- evaluation and the principles of the 3A methodology (annotation-analysis-alteration) are introduced, then the genesis and context of the described project, its progress and reflection are described. In the project, the pupils discovered the functioning of a journalistic editorial office - they decided the content and visual...
The Bogomil movement through the prism of historical novels by Emiliyan Stanev - between theology, historical (re)construction and literary fiction.
Fučík, Michal ; Černý, Marcel (advisor) ; Mikulecký, Jakub (referee)
(in English): The work focuses on the phenomenon of Bogomilism, a religious heresy that emerged in Bulgaria in the 10th century. Its goal is to understand the Bogomil movement not only as a historical occurrence but also to uncover it through the lens of theology and particularly through the prism of three "historical-philosophical prose" works by the significant Bulgarian writer Emiliyan Stanev. The introduction outlines the purpose of the work in more detail, followed by a historical overview of medieval Bulgaria. The following three chapters thoroughly analyze the composition of each of Stanev's prose works. In the concluding section, the acquired knowledge is summarized, with an emphasis on the literary portrayal of Bogomilism in Stanev's works, which is compared with other perspectives on Bogomilism in Bulgaria.
Long-distance migrations of hover flies (Diptera: Syrphidae)
Hlaváček, Antonín ; Hadrava, Jiří (advisor) ; Černý, Martin (referee)
Long-distance migration of insects is well-known phenomenon, studied especially in butterflies and locusts. Until now, the migration of hover flies (Diptera: Syrphidae) was considered a rather marginal issue and not much attention has been given to it. However, billions of hoverflies take part in the spring and autumn migration every year, transferring hundreds of tonnes of biomass and nutrients. The aim of this thesis is to review an existing knowledge on the migration of hoverflies in context of their ecology and evolution. In the first part, I discuss the biogeography and diversity of migratory hover flies, methods for studying migration and the application of such methods in hover flies migration. In the following chapters, I focus on the migration of particular species in context of their ecology and evolution, especially on population dynamics, phenology, orientation, and dimorphism in the migratory generation.
Graphlets in Complex Networks
Trlifaj, Daniel ; Hartman, David (advisor) ; Černý, Martin (referee)
Analyzing the characteristics of complex networks is a principal task of network sci- ence. In this thesis, we study graphets, small induces subgraphs rooted in a vertex, as a tool to describe and compare networks. First, we use graph theory to explore the theo- retical properties of graphlets, propose a framework for studying them, and make novel observations. We discuss the link between graphlets and the Weisfeiler-Lehman isomor- phism test and the reconstruction conjecture. We prove that the knowledge of graphlets of size n − 1 for certain graphs is sufficient for their reconstruction. Second, we develop several graphlet-based metrics and apply them to real-world networks and their models. In line with prior literature, the results suggest that graphlets are potentially an excellent tool of characterizing networks. Counter to prior literature, the results suggest that the Albert-Barabási model produces more realistic synthetic networks than other models. 1
Bulgarian minority in the Czech Republic
Gjulemetovová, Sofia ; Otčenášek, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Černý, Marcel (referee)
(in English): This bachelor thesis is divided into two parts. The first maps important landmarks of Czech-Bulgarian relations from the Middle Ages to modern history. Attention is also paid to some Czech and Bulgarian personalities who supported these relations and advocated their popularization in a cultural perspective. The second part of the work follows the current state of the Bulgarian minority, brings the reader closer to Bulgarian culture through selected traditions and provides an overview of the current association of Bulgarians in the territory of the Czech Republic. Klíčová slova (anglicky): Bulgarian, Czech Republic, minority, migration, culture
Ab initio study of electronic structure of 2D materials
Pekár, Zdenko ; Nezval, David (referee) ; Černý, Miroslav (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis begins with an overview of basic terminology and principles regarding transition metal dichalcogenides and density functional theory. The theoretical part then brings several examples of atomic configuration of such materials and aproximations for the exchange-correlation functional. The practical part focuses on computational simulation and optimization of cells for various phases of transition metal dichalcogenides and their combinations, and compares their properties to those found in scientific literature and also gathers new, so far untested information about these materials.
Synthesis of higher order passive RLC filters for educational laboratory purposes
Černý, Marek ; Petržela, Jiří (referee) ; Rujzl, Miroslav (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the Synthesis of higher order passive RLC filters. The main target was to design a set of filters for educational laboratory purposes, which will contain filters of different orders and approximations (Chebyshev, Inverse Chebyshev and Cauer). The filters were designed according to design tables for standardized lowpass filters and were subsequently simulated in the PSpice program (Frequency analysis, Monte Carlo, Worst Case). Subsequently, a laboratory preparation was designed and revived. Individual filters were tested and compared with ideal waveforms.
Crypsis at dragonflies
Záhorová, Kristýna ; Černý, Martin (advisor) ; Hadrava, Jiří (referee)
Crypsis is one of the defens mechanisms used by animals to hide from predators. It is a form of coloring that allows prey to blend in with their surroundings or makes difficult for predators to see them due to disruptive coloration. Dragonflies utilize crypsis across different families and sometimes even within individual species in various types of environments, ranging from savannas to tropical rainforests. Crypsis also serves as a defense mechanism not only against predators, but also against members of their own species, where females avoid sexual harassment from males and young males avoid fighting with adult males. This is related to changes in coloration during ontogenetic development, as well as the sometimes pronounced sexual dimorphism that is relatively common in dragonflies. Additionally, larvae of dragonflies are often cryptically colored. This study focuses on cryptically colored dragonflies from around the world and in various types of environments. Rather unexpectedly there are not many studies focing on this phenomena at otherwise throroughly studied group of insects. Key words: dragonflies, crypsis, cryptic coloration, sexual dimorphism, dragonflies larvae
