Birth
Piskova, Olena ; Klímová, Barbora (referee) ; Gabriel, Michal (advisor)
The thesis is a continuation of my subject, "Why?", Also includes the theme of man and the environment. I started to be interested in the controversial topic of genetically modified organisms, genetic engineering. I found a personal story in it. Now it is difficult to comment on the extent to which these researches are important, but we shouldn’t stop there.

City block between the streets valley, Úvoz, hardwood, Všetičkova and Jiříkovský in Brno Subtitle: Street valley - the urban question marks
Jánošíková, Zuzana ; Todorov, Petr (referee) ; Hybská, Bohumila (advisor)
My first task was urbanism of údolní street. Identify positive and negative areas and places. And propose solutions . After a thorough examination and analysis of the street, I found a few negative places. The first is space across the Obilní trh + complex of the ombudsman. In my opinion, this building does not fit here, and I replaced her apartment houses with a business parter, as it was in the history. In recent years, built a garden that connects the park to the Obilní trhy and Špilberk is a wonderful thing, namely how to combine two different types but beautiful parks. It will bring even more life to the area. The second negative place is already outdated hospital on the Obilní trh. In terms of its function I will be sorry it replace ordinary residential house, so I chose a home for the elderly Polyclinic. Why forget to the old people of the city? Some seniors like it. The third point is the area of University at the intersection Street and Úvoz Valley. My main thesis topic. I have long wondered with how this whole area can hold. It is a huge complex in the city center, where there is no life, so I decided to bring him there. And I think the help of students and young people who start their careers, I'll do it. The main function of the complex is education and science. In the old part on the street Údolní relocate Favu. With this relocation already counts as leadership of VUT, because they have fakulty in bad condition. This wing of the building of ports, which is a new modern auditorium, a library, and a new study department with the school. In the second wing of the historic street Úvoz goes something like a new start for students after school. The building has a lettable jobs, meeting rooms or areas for launching your business, or coworking. Simple building on the street Tvrdého is language school. Existing Institute of Forensic Medicine I'd changed his function at the primary art school. And because the area seemed to me a great and difficult to grasp, I decided to separate the bit where I created buildings. The supporting features such as a bistro, patisserie, bakery, minimarket, etc. Opposite the building in the complex construction of me was named the new incubators. On the ground floor of leasable space along with coworking. Three towers that stand out to me above the ground floor, I used to incubators, ie spaces for lease for the team who would love drove his bussines. Incubators and coworking are based on the idea to help young people with their ideas and plans. Enabling them to cheap labor where they could begin to form. The other point is the slope at Kraví hora, which offers a beautiful environment and it would be shame not to use it. Here is complemented by smaller blocks of flats and family houses with a studio. The last area is the building of existing Brněnka in the square. To complement the overall impression of my proposal, I would like to add here deal with a new restaurant. A residential building with commercial partners.

Supply Your Own Light
Lukášová, Veronika ; Kroupa, Jiří (referee) ; Hojstričová,, Jana (referee) ; Armutidisová, Irena (advisor)
My disertation theses explores the intricate relationship between art, science and photography in the framework of the contemporary culture. Clearly outlined research areas open up the subject to a broader theoretical examination to underpin the artistic strategies that can be employed in the practial research. The resulting artwork interprets the domain of particle physics in a series of artworks. First area of the research delves into the domain of images and seeks to understand the relationship between the images of art and science in a broader sense. Second area investigates ambiguous medium of photography as both tool of science and art. Third area is an overview of the history of representation of the subatomic world and issues related to representing what is in fact unrepresentable. Fourth seeks to find epistemic and conceptual connection between art and science and their interdisciplinary dialogue as Sci-Art. The fifth part introduces artworks that reflect the critical egangement with the theoretical research and the scientific method by building the instrument for the observation of the cosmic rays. Sources for the theoretical framework are largely drawn from the academic literature written in the UK and USA where the topics explored in the theses have been studied in depth. The time scope considered in the theses encompasses 1990's of the 20. century up utill the present day.

The Figure of the Scholar in Friedrich Nietzsche's Philosophy
Svoboda, Lukáš ; Chavalka, Jakub (advisor) ; Novák, Aleš (referee)
Tento text se zabývá zkoumáním postavy učence ve filosofii Friedricha Nietzscheho. Hlavním cílem je analyzovat, jak Nietzsche chápe učence, jejich roli ve společnosti a jejich vztah k vědě a pravdě. Práce zkoumá Nietzscheho kritiku vědy a logiky jako nástrojů moci a sociálních struktur a jak tato perspektiva ovlivňuje jeho celkový pohled na vědecké poznání a objektivitu. Podrobně se věnuje Nietzscheho rozlišení mezi "vůlí k pravdě" a "vůlí k nepravdě" a jejich propojením v kontextu jeho filosofie. Dále prác Nietzscheho pohled na učence, jejich omezení a vliv na kulturní a intelektuální prostředí, a porovnává tuto figuru s ideálem "génia" nebo "svobodného ducha". Součástí práce je rovněž diskuse o historismu a vědecké objektivitě v Nietzscheho filosofii. Na základě důkladného zkoumání Nietzscheho textů a související sekundární literatury práce poskytuje komplexní pohled na Nietzscheho kritiku a přístup k těmto klíčovým filosofickým tématům.

Širým světem of Stanislav Nikolau. Geographical magazine 1924 - 1944
Ulipová, Jana ; Bednařík, Petr (advisor) ; Köpplová, Barbara (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with the magazine "Širým světem", which was managed by Stanislav Nikolau (1878-1950), a prominent figure in the public life of the First Czechoslovak Republic. Based on a historical analysis of primary sources, placed in context by the study of secondary literature, it completes Nikolau's personality including his views orientation that is based on the ideas of the nationalist right-wing, with a strong anti-Communist orientation, through the leadership of the Czech fascist movement Vlajka to the anti-Semitic rhetoric. The thesis presents his rich activity in the pedagogical, journalistic, and editorial field and does not omit his professional work that was always closely intertwined with geography. However, it is an analysis of the non-fictional periodical "Širým světem. The Geographical Magazine", founded by Nikolau for young readers in 1924 that is the core of the thesis. The magatine's content also corresponded to that − it included adventure stories, short stories and original travel reports that − in addition to the resilience of the human spirit − also reflected the diversity of geographical conditions especially on non-European continents. It continued to develop and change in the context of Nikolau's preferences, reflecting the growing interest of the reading public...

Analysis of Visual Components in Lower-secondary Biology Textbooks in the Topic Vertebrate Zoology
Šindelářová, Barbora ; Vojíř, Karel (advisor) ; Říhová, Dagmar (referee)
This thesis deals with visual components in science textbooks for primary schools, focusing on the topic of vertebrate zoology. The aim of the thesis was to conduct a quantitative analysis of the components in primary school science textbooks with the approval of the Ministry of Education and to determine the extent to which different combinations of visual elements occur. Individual parameters of visual components such as type, form, function, angle or distance of the elements were analysed. The quantitative analysis method allowed for a systematic evaluation of the components in the textbooks evaluated. The results showed that most of the images in these science textbooks are the same and there is often significant uniformity. This suggests that visual components are underutilized to support learning. Thus, the findings could serve as a starting point or support material for improving the visual design of science textbooks not only for primary but also for secondary schools.
