Mythology theme of Nikkarin's graphic novels 130
Kadlec, Jakub ; Čeňková, Jana (advisor) ; Láb, Filip (referee)
Diploma thesis Mythological motives in Nikkarin's comics trilogy 130 is one of the few Czech theoretical works that focus on the analysis of myths in contemporary Czech sci-fi comics. It applies semiological analysis to the still-unfinished tetralogy 130 (Odysea, Hodní, zlí a oškliví and Čas hvězdoplavců) by the young artist and writer Nikkarin, aiming to decipher mythological contents and describe the basic theoretical framework for their further exploration. The interpretation of the books is preceded by a section focused on the history of sci-fi comics in the Czech environment. The thesis is based on the hypothesis that the use of myths in the comic series 130 is deliberate. At the same time, the validity of the discovered myths is not limited to sci-fi comics, as they can often be found in other genres and on other platforms. One of the aims of the thesis is to discover such intermedial overlaps. An indispensable part of the diploma thesis is also the reflection of the series 130 in the Czech media, focusing among other things on the ability of the reviewers to decipher the hidden meanings.

Succession of insect communities inhabiting carcasses of small vertebrates, with emphasis on the beetles
Kadlec, Jakub ; Šípek, Petr (advisor) ; Růžička, Jan (referee)
This master thesis deals with succession and succession mechanisms of beetles (Coleoptera) on carrions of small vertebrates. As a model sample of small carrion a small mouse of weight 20 grams was chosen. In 2014 two experiments occurred. The first one studied the succession of a beetle community in dependence on seasonality and time of death of the sample. The second experiment was aimed to survey the blocking effect of an early insect succession on the final beetle community composition on carrions. It turned out, that during decomposition of the carrion the overall amount of beetles raised equally to the guild of necrophagous beetles. Change of the species spectrum during succession was not statistically confirmed. On the other hand, the effect of seasonality was clear as during the season the abundance and the amount of species increased. The proportion of trophic guilds changed significantly, necrophagous beetles were the most dominant part of the community towards the end of the season. Equally, the taxonomic composition of the community also changed during the season. The seasonal dynamics of carrion beetles was clear; Nicrophorus vespillo (Linnaeus, 1758) and N. investigator Zetterstedt, 1824 showed their peaks in spring and summer while N. humator (Gleditsch, 1767) and N. vespilloides...

The transformation of the Czechoslovakian-Israeli foreign relations after the period of the 1948 events in the Czechoslovakian journals of that time
Kadlec, Jakub ; Bednařík, Petr (advisor) ; Osvaldová, Barbora (referee)
The Bachelor's thesis "Transformation of Czechoslovakian-Israeli Foreign Relations After 1948 in the Czechoslovakian Press" reflects the causes of the transformation of foreign relations between Czechoslovakia and Israel after the events of 1948. Using the research methods of historical comparative analysis, historical fact and the 'reality' presented by the media are compared in an attempt to uncover the effect of the latter. The analysis is based on data from three political dailies and one weekly paper. The thesis focuses on the period between July 1948, a time when Czechoslovakian-Israeli foreign relations were warm, and December 1949, when Czechoslovakian foreign policy began to lean in favor of Arabic countries.

Beetles on carrion: life strategies and ecological classification
Kadlec, Jakub ; Šípek, Petr (advisor) ; Růžička, Jan (referee)
This work summarizes available information about beetle communities on carrions, their life strategy and ecology classification. Necrobiotic beetles are very important part of the decomposition process and the return of organic mass to the life cycle. We can classify decomposition by several criterions, most commonly by the overall appearance of the carrion and by the species of present insect. Conclusions are different depending on authors. Process of decomposition of carrion is affected by the readiness of access for different species of insect. Insect succession depends on many factors, some factors increase the process and others decrease it. The interrelationships between different colonizators of carrion are very important, this relationship is described by three models of classic success ecology. Necrobiotic insect has specific adaptations for the life on carrion. For this thesis, we have chosen 13 families, which are often discussed in publications. The rest of 190 necrobiotic genuses from 34 families is listed in this thesis with their characteristic ecology.

Floristic survey of the surroundings of the abandoned village Malonin (Prachatice region)
Kadlec, Jakub ; Karlík, Petr (advisor) ; Ulbrichová, Iva (referee)
Abandoned villages and belonging landscape structures are significant due to high biodiversity. The former village Malonín in the Prachatice region is an example of medieval settlement with well-preserved landscape structures, therefore multidisciplinary research is focused on understanding the origin and development of its specific long-strip field patterns. As a part of this research, floristic survey was being carried out during the period 11. 4. 2015 to 14. 9. 2015 in the 5,25 km2 defined study area. The survey was aimed at plant indicator species, vulnerable and endangered species or rarities concerning the
phytogeographical aspect. Within 7 visits, 70 findings of 18 plant species were recorded. Every finding was mapped using the ArcGIS software and described including ecological
requirements, former land-use categories and forest typology. As well, the findings were interpreted if possible. Additionally, distance between each finding and the abandoned village, the nearest existing village and the nearest stream was measured and the results were displayed using box plots. Relation between these distances and Ellenberg indicator values was tested statistically. Certain species indicate former settlement (Vinca minor,
Syringa vulgaris), some species take the advantage of specific man-made biotopes e.g. Corydalis cava. The majority of recorded species is listed in the Red List of vascular plants of the Czech Republic. The results confirm the uniqueness of abandoned settlements and the worthiness of studying and preserving its heritage.

Vytvoření predikčního modelu předpovědi počasí pomocí neuronové sítě a asociačních pravidel
Kadlec, Jakub ; Rauch, Jan (advisor) ; Berka, Petr (referee)
This diploma thesis introduces three different methods of creating a neural network binary classifier for the purpose of automated weather prediction with attribute pre-selection using association rules and correlation patters mining by the LISp-Miner system. First part of the thesis consists of collection of theoretical knowledge enabling the creation of such predictive model, whereas the second part describes the creation of the model itself using the CRISP-DM methodology. Final part of the thesis analyses the performance of created classifiers and concludes the proposed methods and their possible benefits over training the network without attribute pre-selection.

Complex database solution design for Gemini ophtalmology clinic
Kadlec, Jakub ; Palovská, Helena (advisor) ; Sramka, Martin (referee)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to provide a complex analysis and database solution design for Gemini ophtalmology clinic in Zlín, Czech Republic. The clinic handles a large amount of data on a daily basis being used by doctors, administrative workers, but as an essential background dataset by robotic surgical machines as well. Currently, the data is being transmitted via physical data files, which inevitably goes with a big probability of subjective errors and data redundancy. The analysis has been based on multiple interviews with Gemini's IT personnel and the models are result of throughout research of clinic's business and information processes. At the beginning of the thesis, there is a theoretical introduction to database analysis and design, followed by a complex database solution design, including features from object-relational database systems which can be helpful considering that the database will be connected to the robotic surgical machines. Their programmatic interface is written in C#, which is an object oriented language, and the thesis describes ways how object features in otherwise fully relational database can result in easier and more straightforward data manipulation. As a result, this bachelor thesis could serve as an inspiration in modernizing technology infrastructure design in a field which is very conservative and is adapting modern approach very slowly.
