Zlín FCK Technology
Morávek, Jakub ; Kudla, David (referee) ; Štěpán, Marek (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with the design of a residential building in the area of Malenovice near Zlín, where a new residential complex is to be built on the land of the current Malenovice sawmill, situated in close proximity to a four-lane road. The concept of this proposal is based on a detailed examination of human cycles and their impact on people in everyday life in relation to architecture. From the life cycle through the annual cycle and especially the daily cycle, professionally referred to as the circadian rhythm. The building, with its idea concept, orientation to the cardinal points, zoning of the apartment and also the shape solution, responds to the needs of man in terms of light comfort and at the same time addresses the greatest efficiency of the technologies used precisely in relation to light comfort, the form solution also creates conditions at the terrace level for the meeting of a wide range of inhabitants of the house - creating diversity. It reduces the need to illuminate the space during the day with artificial lighting, and after dark it addresses artificial lighting with respect to human health, thus also reducing energy consumption.

Ecological consequences of seasonal bird migration
Brlík, Vojtěch
Environmental seasonality, and associated fluctuation in resource abundance, affects organisms throughout their life cycles. Periods of resource scarcity can be avoided by seasonal migration, strategy common in animals, including birds. However, the long journeys of migratory birds separate the stages of their annual cycles in space and time, and present them with a variety of challenges. Environmental conditions that migrants experience may have local effects, or may carry over across seasons, and have delayed impacts on individuals and populations. To better understand the interactions between migratory animals and their environment, we integrated individual tracking, environmental measures, and population data within a full annual cycle perspective. We contributed to the understanding that environmental conditions can affect migratory populations both en route and during stationary non-breeding periods, and that their effects can be observed on a continental scale. We also showed, across species and migratory flyways, that stages of the annual cycle are tightly linked during migration, but that these links weaken during prolonged non-breeding stationarity, with implications for individual success and future prospects under ongoing environmental change. To enhance the ability to trace animal...

Topics of the cycle of the year in education at primary school
Plzáková, Petra ; Horská, Petra (advisor) ; Stará, Jana (referee)
The diploma thesis Topics of the cycle of the year in education at primary school deals with monitoring of the work of two primary school teachers who integrate the topic of annual cycle into their teaching methods. The theoretical part of the thesis provides a brief historical overview of how the theme of nature and society developed as a part of the primary school curriculum from the Middle Ages up to the present time. It introduces the term annual cycle in connection with the layers of the year and the passage of time, with its cyclicity and linearity. It conveys to the reader the characteristics of the developmental specifics of a student at primary school. It describes didactic procedures and methods suitable for mediating topics reflecting the annual cycle, such as the Step by step curriculum, integrated thematic teaching or project teaching. The empirical part presents qualitative research focusing on the usage of the topics related to the annual cycle in primary school teaching. The research was carried out at two Prague primary schools. The teachers selected for the research are first grade class teachers. The research is based on the observation of direct pedagogical work of the teachers, in-depth semi-structured interviews and uses document analysis as an additional method. The aim of...
