Kovář, Jan ; Nečas, Vlastimil (advisor) ; Křeček, Jan (referee)
This master's thesis focuses on a comparative study of the political framing of immigrants and refugees in Czech media during three key periods: the migration crisis of 2015-2016, the Covid- 19 pandemic, and the period following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The thesis has two main objectives: to examine which frames prevailed in the portrayal of immigrants and refugees during each period and, secondly, to attempt to explain the variation in frames used by individual politicians in their media appearances related to framing of immigrants and refugees. To achieve these goals, the thesis employs quantitative content analysis and regression analysis. Content analysis of the framing of immigrants and refugees is conducted based on the data from the main evening newscasts of the most-watched Czech television channels. Key frames identified during the three periods include administrative, economic, security, cultural, and humanitarian frames. The results suggest that politicians adapt their framing of immigrants and refugees based on the socio-political context and the structure and characteristics of incoming immigrants and refugees.

Hlinka, Vladimír ; Šíma, Jan (advisor) ; Voráček, Josef (referee)
Title: Popularity of Online Computer Gaming and Its Relation to People's Lifestyle in European Countries Objectives: The aim of the thesis is to find possible associations between the popularity of online gaming, expressed as the number of players per 1 million inhabitants, and indicators of healthy or unhealthy lifestyles. If a statistically significant relationship between the variables is found, it is appropriate to further investigate the nature and strength of this association and compare the results of the thesis with other research in this area. Methods: Linear regression was used to analyze the secondary data. Pearson and Spearman correlation coefficients and Shapiro-Wilk normality test were used to test the assumptions of the regression analysis. Statistical significance of the data was tested at the significance level α = 0,05. The regression models were constructed after prior testing of the assumptions of the regression analysis using Jamovi. Results: After evaluating the assumptions of the regression analysis, a total of 4 regression models were constructed for the following variables: Smoking, Participation in Cultural and Sporting Events, Working Out and Not Drinking Alcohol. A significant relationship between the independent and dependent variables was observed in the case of...

New procedures for evaluating concrete in existing construction
Juřenová, Jana ; Kocáb, Dalibor (referee) ; Cikrle, Petr (advisor)
This bachelor thesis seeks to increase the awareness of the possibility of using the ultrasonic pulse method for the diagnosis of building structures. It emphasises the use of non-destructive methods, highlighting their ability to provide comparable results to traditional destructive methods of assessment, whilst minimising interference to the structure. The work includes reporting on the procedures for determining the characteristic compressive strength of concrete in existing structures as defined in EN 13791, updated in 2021. The work focuses primarily on calibrating results from non-destructive indirect measurements with those obtained destructively using core borings.
