Melicharová, Andrea ; Smetáčková, Irena (advisor) ; Ezzeddine, Petra (referee)
Gender in the playground: Ethnographic research This hesis analyses the (re)production of gender stereotypes in the playground. The theoretical framework of the analysis is based on the classical approaches (Renzetti and Curran 2005 Jarkovská 2004) , gender socialization (Giddens 1999, Gilligan 2001 and Bem 2003) and is also inspired by current research on playgrounds (Paetcher, Clark 2003 Millan 2012). The research was conducted at a playground located in Beroun throughout years 2013 and 2014 as a non-participating observation of the visitors of the playground. The work presents a comprehensive view of gender and gender stereotypes reproduced at the playground in two areas: 1) the area of gender stereotypes in the playground reproduced by children and 2) the area of gender stereotypes which adult accompaniment brings to the field. Analysis shows the way in which these categories are (re)constructed and played out in everyday life and how they affect the subculture of the playground. The analysis is mainly based on the surprising finding that the children at the playground were accompanied by almost the same number of men as women. Other findings are related to the children themselves. Children in the playground do a lot of gaming activities, which is no longer so surprising and also proves that...

Citadels AI
Pekárek, Jakub ; Holan, Tomáš (advisor) ; Gemrot, Jakub (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to implement a playable version of the game Citadels with console interface, and to use it for analysis of the game's properties and development of artificial intelligence. This thesis includes an analysis of strategies, a scheme for their design, an organization of turn processing, a model of intelligence implementation and testing tools. A number of approaches to specific moves have been developed, all of which achieved positive impact on overall intelligence performance. Game analysis showed a variety of game situations that need to be approached in different ways. Consequently, inappropriateness of usage of general approaches has been demonstrated; while showing benefits of the suggested inteligence design, based on a composition of separate strategies. A strong influence of player earnings on the overall performance has also been demonstrated, while other factors only show very low influence in general case. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
