Welfare assessment of organically farmed cattle
Slavíková, Eva ; Chaloupková, Helena (advisor) ; Ilona, Ilona (referee)
Ethical issues in livestock breeding have been in focus of public interest recently. A strong attention is paid to living space, ability to express natural behaviour, and good care of animals known as welfare. Presented thesis aims in evaluation of animal welfare indicators on 20 farms with organic dairy production using the methodology of Welfare Quality (WQ). The following criteria were assessed: absence of prolonged hunger and thirst, comfort around resting, ease of movement, absence of injuries, disease, and pain induced by management procedures, expression of social and other behaviours, human-animal relationship, and emotional state. These criteria are combined into four basic principles: good feeding, good housing, good health, and appropriate behaviour. Principal attention is paid to the relationship between animal welfare and health.
Most farms showed high scoring of good feeding including the proportion of very lean cows and sufficient water supply. Good housing got also high evaluation, because the organic farming standards require loose housing and majority of time spent grazing on pastures. Lower scoring of good health was caused by dehorning on a part of farms, which decreases the absence of injuries evaluation. Farms had mostly low proportion of lame cows, cows with lesions and hairless patches, and cows with discharges and diarrhoea; no cow had mastitis. No expression of agonistic behaviour was recorded, the scoring of human-animal relationship and positive emotional state was fairly good, too. Obtained scores were generally higher compared to results from conventional farms published in literature. All farms were evaluated as enhanced or excellent.
Larger herds had generally lower scoring of human-animal relationship, but higher scoring of positive emotional state. Farms with dehorned animals exhibited lower proportion of very lean cows and nasal discharge. A higher percentage of lame cows was found on farms with worse cleanliness compared to farms with cleaner conditions. Proportion of lame cows correlated with the proportion of very lean cows, and together with the proportion of cows with integument alterations it was influenced by the comfort around resting.
It was confirmed that good conditions of cow breeding and good welfare lead to better health and behaviour of animals. Organic farming creates favourable conditions for good animal health and welfare. The output of the thesis provides farmers an evaluation of animal welfare on their farms and a comparison with other farms.

The World according to the Larp
Koubová, Karolína ; SLAVÍKOVÁ, Eva (advisor) ; MALANÍKOVÁ, Hana (referee)
In my diploma thesis I deal with the phenomenon of chamber LARP and through it I get to the reflection of my studies at the Department of Authorial Creativity and Pedagogy [KATaP]. My first approach to the writing assumed that the live action role playing (LARP) is based on similar assumptions and motivations as the basic disciplines of the department. The more detailed I looked at this game, I had to modify the original hypothesis of similarity. Process that I describe in my thesis has finally reverse trend. I do not describe LARP with regard to the experience of KATaP, but the LARP experience leads me to the reflection and exploration of the five-year study. Gradually, (Inter) acting With the Inner Partner, authorship and game become the subject of my research. I also think of the possibility of an authentic experience and try to answer the question of for what is the truth in own creation and access to myself. It is largely a subjective view and an offer of my personal experiences and experience from University and from the practice of LARP.

Acting as both a profession and a study programme
Vaculíková, Šárka ; SLAVÍKOVÁ, Eva (advisor) ; POKORNÁ, Jaroslava (referee)
In my bachelor thesis Acting as both a Profession and a Study Programme I describe my experience with various methods of acting. I go through examples from my own career in the theatre and in the television and film-making with focus on the possible advantages and disadvantages of working with pedagogues and directors. I examine how their experience and techniques could and have helped me develop both as an actress and as a person and if their advice pushed me forward in my pursuit of theatrical education or rather held me back and how my own approach to acting has changed through the course of my career.

An Encounter With Dialgue Acting Within The Context of Spiritual Ways Known To Me And Practiced By Me.
Samuhelová, Danica ; Vyskočil, Ivan (advisor) ; Slavíková, Eva (referee)
In my diploma work, I tried to look into deeper context which opens during Dialogue Acting With Inner Partner (DA). I consciously left out the theatre utilisation of DA which I touched only marginally. Above all, I wanted to explore the spiritual aspect which is open to everyone at the moment of one's entering into the process of DA. For me, DA is a bridge between the western style of perceiving the reality, and the eastern insight into the essence of existence. I mention here only the spiritual practics I experienced by myself, mostly through practicing or intuitive connection through my dreams.
