Motel for truck drivers in India
Dědková, Kateřina ; Šubrt, Jan (referee) ; Dulenčín, Juraj (advisor)
The subject of the bachelor thesis is the design of an motel for highway drivers in India. The building is located in the part called Kannadi in the district Pallakad nearby road National Highway 544, which is connected from the south side. Right next to the area aren’t built any other objects. The work shows the design of the alone standing building, which is divided into 4 blocks. The most of the area is used as accommodation, the other parts as restaurant and shop. The main role in designing was Indian religion and local traditions, which were inspiration in the layout and aesthetic solution of the building. The sections are connected thanks to the atrium in the middle and to the rooms in the second ground is the main entrance through the built-on gallery. All rooms are supposed to be for 2 residents and don’t include a sanitary facilities (these are common, 2 on the floor). The design is using traditional materials and the façade is made by overhanging panels from metal frame knitted by colorful cord from recycled plastic (or textile). As a result of this is possible to make people think of the pollution in the world and mainly in India. Colors refer to their religion, which are used even on their typical trucks, they should bring the protection and safety on the way before the drivers come back to the families. Panels are also used as the shading element.

Motel for truck drivers in India
Navrátilová, Petra ; Šubrt, Jan (referee) ; Dulenčín, Juraj (advisor)
The subject of the assignment is the design of a new motel in India that provides its participating party, mainly truck drivers, 3 different levels of rest: a quick stop for rest and refreshment, areas for sharing and eating food, areas for sleeping and longer rest, all in a cost-effective way. The parcel is located in the west of the city of Kannadi. There are no existing buildings on it and the surrounding land is used for agricultural purposes. A slip road from National Highway 544, which connects Salem in Tamil Nadu and Kochi in Kerala, will be taken to the site. The motel is located approximately in the middle of the site. Truck park is located at the back/north of the site so that the motel is clearly visible from the highway. There is car park in the front part of the site. The motel is inspired by the nalukettu house, which is typical for the region. The fundamental building block of the entire motel are two two-story blocks where the accommodation units are located. These blocks are enclosed by solid walls, protecting the rooms from noise and overheating. The heart of the house is the courtyard, to which the surrounding rooms are directed. Through this courtyard, the sun enters the rooms and they are also ventilated by it. The dining and social part is located near the road, which can also serve non-accommodating guests (bistro, store and public toilets). The glass facade supports the magnetizing attention of customers. Thanks to the trucks park in the back part of the site, a corridor was created and connects it with the front part. From the corridor there is access to secondary and storage areas, through a light-lit door. From there, guests can also reach two almost identical two-story accommodation blocks via the reception. There are cell rooms in them, including an entrance hall, sanitary facilities and two four-bed rooms. The right block include a barrier-free room on the 1st floor. The front part of the motel, which is also accessible to the public, is divided into 2 parts. The left half contains the shop and public toilets and the right bistro with service areas. Materials are selected with regard to sustainability, locality and high quality, such as thermal permeability, acoustics or fire safety. The structural system is mixed, made of brick blocks and reinforced concrete columns, reinforced concrete ceilings and a floor. The facade is pre-set wall made of recycled burnt bricks. The interiors are covered with clay plaster.

Chandigarh - Indian dream of the city
Spilková, Klára ; Tichý, Jan (referee) ; Pavlovský, Tomáš (advisor)
This Bachelor’s Thesis deals with the creation and development of the Indian city of Chandigarh, built on the green field. Its creation was necessitated by major political problems related to the establishment of India as a sovereign nation. The first part explains architectural and urban principles of the world-famous architect Le Corbusier, who was the author of the Master Plan of Chandigarh. Subsequently, the creation and development of Chandigarh is laid out, up to the present. The practical section compares Chandigarh with Amritsar, a traditional Indian city, followed by a study of the present state of selected city sectors, together with an analysis of the land use. The purpose of the Thesis is to present the problems of city construction on the green field, including an analysis of functionality. Given that there is as yet no Czech work dealing with the creation, development, and present state of Chandigarh in a similar extent, this work might be found useful.

The use of artificial intelligence methods for time series prediction
Tripathi, Ankit
Financial market analysis and prediction have been topics of interest to traders and investors for decades. This thesis presents a comprehensive study on time series forecasting in the dynamic financial market of India, utilising a decade of historical data from Reliance Company's stock prices. The research encompasses three key components: bibliometric analysis for the domain globally, comparative evaluation of time series prediction methods in Indian markets, and implementation of a pre-processing approach incorporating economic factors on the selected models. Every section builds upon the collected information in the preceding section. The bibliometric analysis was used to establish an understanding of prevailing trends in time series forecasting techniques and answer relevant questions in the context of Indian markets to narrow down the scope of the study. This has been done by analysing 2202 documents ranging from the period of 1994-2023 consisting of articles, book chapter, review, book, note and letters in the English language only. The results help in the formation of a different perspective while understanding the overall intellectual landscape of the domain with subsections focusing on field leaders, author's productivity, uprise in domain based on publications and citations, the underlying pattern behind shifts in research areas based on authors keywords and publications that have impacted the domain significantly. The analysis extends beyond academic literature to include patents, providing a real-life state-of-the-art perspective. The results from bibliometrics have been used to select models for comparative analysis. The analysis assesses the performance of diverse time series prediction methods like deep learning algorithms (Long short-term memory model (LSTM)), traditional statistical models (Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Approach (ARIMA)), and advanced ensemble learning algorithms (XGBoost and FB-Prophet) using real-world data from the Indian financial market. The stock prices of Reliance Company serve as a case study, enabling a thorough evaluation of predictive accuracy and errors of the models. Simultaneously, a pre-processing approach has been proposed and implemented, integrating significant economic factors (Gold Price, USD to INR conversion, Consumer Price Index, Indian 10-year yield bond, and Wholesale Price Index) and evaluated with technical metrics (Mean squared error, Mean Absolute Error, R2 Score). The study investigates how the inclusion of these factors impacts prediction accuracy across the selected time series prediction methods. The comparative evaluation of models before and after the pre-processing method sheds light on the evolving predictive accuracy of LSTM, ARIMA, FB-Prophet, and XGBoost. This analysis provides valuable insights into the influence of economic factors on each method's performance. The study showed that the SARIMAX (extension of ARIMA with seasonality and exogenous factors) and XGBOOST performed relatively well with the proposed approach while LSTM with 80% training and FB prophet did not perform as expected in Indian financial markets. This research contributes to advancing the understanding of time series forecasting in the financial market of India, offering practical insights for decision-makers and researchers.

The Omission of Coercion: A Framing and Source Analysis of the Media Coverage of Religious Conversions in India
John, Arshu ; Neag, Annamária (advisor) ; Lábová, Sandra (referee)
In India, the phenomenon of religious conversion is a deeply political act, rooted in a history of caste discrimination, Hindu nationalism and religious conflicts. Despite a constitutional protection of the freedom of religion, conversions rarely seen as a personal decision, especially when it concerns Hinduism. A pre-Independence, majoritarian resistance to conversions have persisted, and manifested in numerous anti-conversion laws that prescribe a protectionist caution to conversions. Since the election of Narendra Modi and the Bharatiya Janata Party in 2014, Hindu nationalism-or Hindutva-has seen a sharp surge across social, political and public spheres. Under Modi, India has also witnessed a drop in press freedom in the country. This paper studied the media coverage of religious conversions in India during Modi's first term, from May 2014 to May 2019. It adopted a frame analysis and source analysis to study 250 articles from four mainstream English newspapers-Times of India, Indian Express, The Hindu and The Telegraph. The analysis found the 'Conflict' frame and the political elite sources remained most prevalent. However, the analysis also pointed to the role of Hindu nationalism in the media coverage of religious conversions.
