Rituals as Elements of Control in Regular Marijuana use
Krechlerová, Alžběta ; Morávek, Jan (advisor) ; Oravcová, Anna (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the use of controlled drugs. It focuses on marijuana users and their rituals, which present an element of control. The theoretical part summarizes basic information about marijuana including the nature, effects and risks associated with its use. There is also explained the theory of controlled drug use, major works and authors who have studied this phenomenon and the meaning of the word "ritual". The next section describes my qualitative research and basic research questions. The last section is devoted to the analysis of semi-structured interviews. The analysis explains areas of life that affect the respondents' control, the differences between the ways of use marijuana and a description of the customs and rituals of its users. It also discusses the meanings that users attach to the drug, which in turn influence their rituals. It also provides knowledge about the importance of structure of living.

Influence of the laser mixture composition on the existence of the dinitrogen bands
Morávek, Matěj Jan ; Hrachová, Věra (advisor) ; Kudrna, Pavel (referee)
This project studies mixtures of helium, nitrogen and carbon dioxid, widely used in so called CO2 lasers. These lasers are classified as discharge lasers. In the case of low output lasers is often used a DC glow discharge. We can find bands so called first and second positive systems of a dinitrogen molecule in an emission spectrum of the glow discharge. It is possible to deduce energetic balance and a vibrational temperature from these bands. The vibrational temperature was studied by the vibrational spectroscopy of dinitrogen molecule for various discharge currents and pressures and for various distribution of nitrogen in the mixture (we will start with an industrial mixture LASAL 63).

Contact centre as an unwelcome neighbour
Reiter, Erik ; Nekola, Martin (advisor) ; Morávek, Jan (referee)
Thesis "Contact centre as an unwelcome neighbor"deals with a case of the Sananim's contact centre, that was obliged to agree with the relocation of their workplace from the area. Thesis is confronting the neighbor's resistance the centre is facing with the NIMBY concept, which is demonstrated by the analysis of interviews. Situation of the contact centre of Sananim o.s. is compared with the contact centre Progressive's Stage 5. Sources of the resistance are distinguished within the analysis by use of NIMBY typology. The most significant source of the resistance is identified to be the neighbor's resistance. Thesis describes the situation, which was caused by the resistance on different levels within typology and is also suggesting possible solutions to the resulting situation. In the final sections of the thesis, author recommends to improve the cooperation and communication between Sananim's contact centre and other contact centres in the area, adjacent borough and most importantly with their oponents. Author later recommends the realization of more extensive and deeper research, and offers several research questions and hypotheses for occasion of its realization.

Framing of New Psychoactive substances in British Drug Policy Discourse
Novotná, Lucie ; Nekola, Martin (advisor) ; Morávek, Jan (referee)
This thesis, New Psychoactive Substances in British Drug Policy Discourse addresses new psychoactive substances (NPS) in drug policy discourse in Great Britain between 2000-2014. It focuses on the identification of individual frames and aims to understand the different perspectives NPS can be framed in The theoretical framework of this thesis is based on the idea of social constructivism and Frame Theory. On this basis, the thesis identifies individual sponsors, the general characteristics of the problem, the injured party, the public policy implications and the value base. It identifies four frames which are present in the discourse. The first, called Fragmented, does not perceive NPS as a comprehensive problem, but as individually occurring substances. The second frame the Prohibitionist wishes to tackle the issue of NPS using new tools of prohibition. The third one, the Regulatory frame is strongly polarized towards the previous frame and wants to solve the NPS issue by creating a legally regulated market for psychoactive substances. The last, Wicked frame, perceives NPS as an unstructured problem, therefore it cannot be solved by one measure. This frame favors an expert debate and evidence in order to find the optimal solution. The thesis puts the issue into context and focuses on NPS...

Study of plasma in the mixtures with molecular gas at wide pressure range
Morávek, Matěj Jan ; Hrachová, Věra (advisor) ; Mazánková, Věra (referee) ; Pavlík, Jaroslav (referee)
Study of plasma in the mixtures with molecular gas at wide pressure range Matěj Jan Morávek Abstract: The positive column of DC glow discharge sustained in oxygen and oxygen-nitrogen mixtures has been studied in two discharge tubes of the same shape made from different materials (Silica and Pyrex glass) for total pressures 650 - 2000 Pa and discharge currents up to 40 mA. Various parameters of the discharge - axial electric field strength, concentration of electrons and emission spectra - were studied with emphasis placed on transition region between low- and high-gradient form of the positive column. We have focused on the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the differences in emission spectra for both particular forms and the transitional region between them. The impact of 1 % admixture of nitrogen was also studied.

Controlled use of pervitin
Markvartová, Lucie ; Morávek, Jan (advisor) ; Kotík, Michal (referee)
My work (thesis) considers the elements of control in using of pervitin. The fundamantal research question is, what are the important factors for maintenance the control and what differs "self-checking users" from "deviant users". Deviant user I define as an ideal type, which I consider as a counterpart to the self- checking user. This type I created on the base of characteristics, which are generally linked to the druggers and troubled users of drugs, it means homelessing, unemployment and criminality. Next I consider restriction strategies for using druggs and causes which tended to modification of the formula for using or abstinence. For gathering data and their interpretation I used the methods of qualitative research. As a method for selection of respondents I choose the occasional selection and the data were collected up by the method of half- structured inrerview. Important factors which determine the rate of controlled using are frequence and reasons for using, next social role, particulary the status of student or employed person, occupied by the respondent, and social environment - here is the most important influence of the gang, the closest friends and partners. The last significant category is the identification with the group and the respondent identity. For the creation of identity...

Design of photovoltaic power plant in area Špitálka Brno
Jedlička, Dominik ; Vrtal, Matěj (referee) ; Bohůn, Vojtěch (referee) ; Morávek, Jan (advisor)
The aim of this work is to design a photovoltaic power plant on the roof of the area Špitálka part of company Teplárny Brno. The theoretical part discusses the types of photovoltaic cells, the possibilities of recycling photovoltaic panels, components of photovoltaic systems and the design of the power plant itself. The practical part is followed by the design of the power plant with the use of information gathered in the theoretical part.
