Partisans perception of controversial topics in online news and influence of hostile media effect
Chovancová, Michaela ; Nečas, Vlastimil (advisor) ; Švelch, Jaroslav (referee)
1 Abstract The thesis titled Partisans perception of controversial topics in online news and influence of hostile media effect is dedicated to a modern phenomenon from the field of media effects and media audience research called hostile media effect. Its theory has been shaping since the mid 80s of the previous century and it is defined as a tendency of polarized partisans to perceive even-handed and balanced media coverage of a controversial topic as biased against their own opinion. With this effect, both polarized groups evaluate unbiased media content as more favorable towards the contrary point of view. Theoretical part includes the history of the phenomenon, its context within development of new digital media and social media, factors that influence its impact and how it affects cognitive processes, therefore why there is a tendency of such perceptions within polarized partisans. The last chapter of theory covers a summary of major studies and their findings. In the research part, I conducted a questionnaire inspired by an American study from 2012 that observes different perceptions of media coverage among partisans in the topic of mandatory children vaccination. This is the first research that confirmed a tendency of hostile media phenomenon on Slovak online population.
Influence of omission neglect phenomenon on perception of product and brand
Chovancová, Michaela ; Vranka, Marek (advisor) ; Báča, Ladislav (referee)
This bachelor thesis, titled Influence of Omission Neglect Phenomenon on Perception of Product and Brand, deals with the modern and quite unfamiliar issue of omission neglect phenomenon in the Czech Republic. Omission neglect (ON) refers to lack of sensitivity to missing or unmentioned information. The main focus of the thesis is to summarize the existing complex knowledge about the phenomenon and to confirm whether the effect of ON is present in consumer behaviour of Czech customers. The thesis is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. In the theoretical part, I investigate the topic of consumer behaviour and decision-making in relation to the ON phenomenon. Next, I deal with the topic of heuristics and cognitive biases the ON is part of. Then, I offer a definition of the term, describe its historical background, the influence it has on the decision-making process, and factors which have the tendency to decrease the impact of omission neglect. In the last part of the theoretical section, I summarize the most important studies on the ON effect. In the practical part, I replicate a study from 2014 which deals with different intensity of the ON effect on respondents with high and low contextual cognitive level in a specific product category. The purpose of my study was to confirm the influence of...
Water chiller for ceiling cooling system
Havlíček, Jan ; Chovancová, Michaela (referee) ; Hejčík, Jiří (advisor)
The topic of this diploma thesis is to design water chiller for ceiling cooling system. The thesis is divided into four main parts. The first part deals with the theoretical description of emitting cooling systems. The following part focuses on the theory of refrigerating systems and describes especially the thermal cycle and refrigerants which are used in cooling systems. In the third chapter refrigerating equipment are described. Compressor, heat exchangers and expansion valves belong to the main parts of refrigerating systems. The final chapter is devoted to the draft and selection of components of the refrigerating system.
Design of a space heating system for family house.
Němec, Miloš ; Chovancová, Michaela (referee) ; Katolický, Jaroslav (advisor)
The present thesis deals with a design of a heating system for reconstructed family house. The heat loss was calculated according to ČSN EN 12831 Heating systems in buildings – Method for calculation of the heating load. The projected system was regulated. Hot water generation and the safety devices, such as safety valve or expansion tank, were designed. The total costs were calculated afterwards.
Energy self sufficient house
Hrncsjarová, Hana ; Talanda, Tomáš (referee) ; Chovancová, Michaela (advisor)
The bachelor’s thesis deals with the issue of energy self-sufficient houses. The search of requirements and technical applications usable in the design of energy self sufficient house is presented. There are some of the legislation relating to the issue too. Thesis includes also the examples of implemented projects in the Czech Republic and the design of modifications of the particular house for the possible energy self-sufficiency.
Utilization of renewable energy for heating
Foit, Vladimír ; Hejčík, Jiří (referee) ; Chovancová, Michaela (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis, titled Alternative Heating Options, is divided into four parts. First, an overview of renewable energy sources available in Czech Republic is presented. Second part contains Czech energy policy and legislation and several grants related to renewable energy sources. Third part lists several projects constructed in Czech Republic including a description of a specific project on a residential house. Last part aims to design a heating system for a building using one of already referenced methods and to compare it with other heating systems. The returns of the design is also discussed.
Condensation aerosol generator - range of operation
Súkeník, Michal ; Chovancová, Michaela (referee) ; Lízal, František (advisor)
In this bachelor thesis I deal with condensation aerosol generator and its range of operation. This device is based on controlled heterogenous condensation and is widely used in different fields such as inhalation studies, testing filters or calibration of measuring devices. The primary aim of the thesis is to verify the quality of producing aerosol and the depandance on the operation conditions. I also deal with methods of generated aerosols as well as their statistical description.
Trombe wall and its exploitation in environmental engineering
Med, Lukáš ; Chovancová, Michaela (referee) ; Jaroš, Michal (advisor)
This Bachelor's thesis contains description and measurements of specific Trombe's wall on a family house. Theoretical part consists of different modifications of Trombe's wall and a closer look at different types of temperature measurements. In practical part of this work can be found a description of measured Trombe's wall, a procession of measured data and a calculation of whole energetic and financial contribution of measured period. The results of this work are arranged in graphs and tables.
