Validation options for increasing the thermal insulating properties of foam plastics
Smutný, Vojtěch ; Kopřivík, František (referee) ; Šťastník, Stanislav (advisor)
The thesis is devoted to the study of material properties of selected types of polystyrene, especially expression of the coefficient of linear thermal expansion. The work contains two main chapters, theoretical and practical. The theoretical part of the thesis deals with an overview of the thermal insulation in the Czech Republic, the description of phenomena related to heat transfer mechanisms and an overview of experimental methods for determining thermal insulating properties. The practical part presents results of measurements of samples with foamed polystyrene, which is modified by the addition of selected substances. The thesis describes the machine program, which is used to calculate the temperature in during the construction arrangement under the sunlight load.

Young artists and social networking sites.
Smutný, Viktor ; Kolomoiets, Maksym (advisor) ; Průchová Hrůzová, Andrea (referee)
The purpose of this thesis is to explain how artists from the generation of digital natives introduced by Dingli and Dylan use Social Networking Sites (SNS). Goal of this thesis is to identify what content do artists share and what they want to achieve with it. There will also be explained what content is not shared and if this is a form of self-censorship or something more in line with certain restrictions to convey desired image. The main theoretical background comes from the concept of self-presentation, which was explained by Goffman in offline space and reworked by Hogan, who introduced the theory of exhibition in online space. This thesis explains that main goal for artists is to create a certain exhibition of their artwork. Exhibition serves as a place, where artists can display their artwork in the best way possible for the audience, which can be used by artists. The use is mostly financial, it can be direct, or someone from the audience can afford them employment, or use their popularity as a motivation for their potential employers. Creation of this exhibition comes with a cost, content focused on anything, but art is either completely absent or employed in a way that is restricted. Certain type of restrictions is used even in art focused content, so the viewer has the best possible...

Integrated weed management in cereals
Smutný, V. ; Winkler, J. ; Klem, Karel
Certified methodology summarized knowledge about the impact of different non-direct (preventive) agronomic measures (crop rotations, soil tillage, fertilization using organic fertilizers and straw management) on weeds (weed seedbank and actual weed infestation), from qualitative (weed specie composition) and quantitative (intensity occurrence) point of view). There is also particular focus on rationalization of chemical methods of weed management (herbicide application). Principles of decision-making rules based on establishment of economic thresholds, optimal timing of application and optimization of herbicide doses. There is a potential for decrease of applied herbicides in cereals using of this approach, which brings not only considerable economic savings, but also reduction of negative environmental effect caused by herbicide use.\n\n

Means of expression in film noir and their use in the following development of world cinematography
Pospíšil, Petr ; SMUTNÝ, Vladimír (advisor) ; MACÁK, Jiří (referee)
This thesis describes the origins of film-noir genre, historical context of classic noir era as well as the influence of its film predecessors, emphasising the tradition of german expressionism. Each single aspect creating the characteristic film-noir look is analysed and described in detail, and illustrated using film stills containing such aspect. Following text summarises reasons and circumstances of the end of this classic era. The second part of my thesis is dedicated to the utilization of this noir aspects in later films all the way up to the present times. This part is also supplemented with practical examples of these elemets being used.

Internal Film Logic
Tichovský, Martin ; JÍCHA, Marek (advisor) ; SMUTNÝ, Vladimír (referee)
Abstract
The thesis Internal film logic analyzes the processes by which an audience is guided through visual signs. Film is conceived here as a type of communication. The text explores processes and relationships in the author-artwork-audience axis, and offers a terminological apparatus to philosophically work with basic questions regarding creative intention. The purpose of this work is to lead the reader-cinematographer towards awareness of organic structures within film alongside the commonly utilized technical frameworks. If an author can conceive of film as a communication process, then a film can come to life as a „dialogue“: to direct audience's thought paths, provoke their intellectual capabilities, and enliven their experiences against their expectations.

Imaging styles of American Cameramen in the 1960’s and 70‘s in the 20th century
Chajewski, Jan ; BRABEC, Jaroslav (advisor) ; SMUTNÝ, Vladimír (referee)
An analysis of the changes in style in cinematography during the „New Hollywood“ or „American New Wave“ of the 1960’s and 70‘s is the intent of this thesis. The main context for this analysis is the influence the French New Wave had on American Cinema. We try to look at specific aspects of American visual culture and the progress made in that culture as a result of American cinematographer’s reaction to new cinematic ideas. As a result of new thinking in cinema Hollywood cameramen began making “mistakes” acceptable and using them as visual tools, that their older colleagues where forbidden to use. Bonnie and Clyde was the first widely successful “New Hollywood” film, so in comparison to Jules and Jim, its French equivalent, we can look at the way visual language changed and how differently the same cinematic thought can be brought to life in two very different cinematic cultures.
The main contribution of this thesis is the analysis of the new visual tools that American cameramen brought to world cinema. These tools can be observed when watching almost any audiovisual product made after 1967, when Bonnie and Clyde had its premiere. For future cinematographers the knowledge of the historical context of these visual tools can be beneficial for more informed viewing.
