Relations of research outputs and projects: NUSL, R&D Information System and OpenAIRE
Černohlávková, Petra ; Dvořák, Jan (advisor) ; Souček, Jiří (referee)
The thesis aims to explore and describe the relationships between scientific results and research projects, both in general and in three given sources: the National Repository of Grey Literature (NUSL) in the Czech Republic, the Czech Research, Development and Innovation Information System (IS VaVaI) and OpenAIRE. The theoretical part presents relationships between results and projects in the field of research information in the Czech Republic and the EU, as well as the Levels of Conceptual Interoperability Model (LCIM) and its application to the relationships between results and projects. Furthermore, the thesis examines the analyzed resources in terms of acquisition, technical processing and interoperability of links between results and projects. The research part quantifies the presence of these links in the given sources, examines the multiplicity of the links to projects, and a possible dependence of the occurrence and quantity of these links on language and type of the research results.

Normalized social distance
Šlerka, Josef ; Souček, Jiří (advisor) ; Petříček, Miroslav (referee) ; Macek, Jakub (referee)
This dissertation thesis deals with the application of the concept of information distance to the social network data analysis. We consider this data as recorded acts of social action. As such, they express certain attitudes, values and intentions. We introduce a formula for calculating the Normalized Social Distance and, based on the series of case studies, we prove the usefulness and validity of this approach. The application of formal mathematical and computer science techniques to massive data records of human action in social network environments is enabled by the change brought by new media and the associated technological advancement. This change is accompanied by a gradual transition of research methods in the humanities, referred to as the onset of digital humanities. This approach is characterized by the application of quantitative methods in the field of humanities and the discovery of new data areas useful for analyses. In case of social media data, the differentiation between quantitative and qualitative methods is no longer valid. A good example is also this thesis, in which information theory specifically combines the methods of a traditional social network analysis and the Goffman's frame analysis of human action. Keywords Information distance, Normalized Social Distance, Kolmogorov...

Comparative analysis of research organizations based on their scientific results
Požárek, Jakub ; Souček, Martin (advisor) ; Souček, Jiří (referee)
I Abstract (in English) This thesis explores scientific productivity at the faculties of Charles University and Faculties of Arts of public universities in the Czech Republic in the 2010-2014 time period. The thesis used data about FTE of the individual faculties, data about the number of students at the faculties, and data from RIV calculated using the Scimetrics methodology. Data about FTE and the number of students were provided by the Department of School Statistics, Analyses and Information Strategy, which is part of the Czech Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports. The calculation of the data from RIV was based on the analyses of the Scimetrics company. As part of the thesis, all of the data were evaluated and presented in a graphic form. Due to the methodology used, it was possible to analyze directly the scientific productivity of the examined faculties and not only their publishing performance. The research has shown that the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics stands out significantly among the other faculties. Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové was next in the ranking with Faculty of Science following after that. Other faculties have shown significantly lower values. Faculties of Arts were generally characterized by lower productivity with only minor differences among them in these values. The...
