Self-presentation through appearance
Smoljaková, Natálie ; Holeček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Martinová, Marta (referee)

The bachelor's thesis is divided into two parts. The first deals with the phenomenon of the masquerade ball as a popular court festivity of the Baroque period. The second focuses on masquerade masks and masquerade costumes based on examples of selected Baroque paintings and portraits from the European region. The first part begins with tracking of the origins of the masquerade ball in the folk carnivals, studies their common starting points but considers their different goals. Then, there are defined three main sources of the inspiration for the masquerade. At this part are presented some particularly important masquerade festivities. The second part is focused on a study of masks, their iconography and meanings. The innovation of this work lies in the theme itself; which at least, from the art-historian position, has not yet been devoted a separate systematic study.

Automatic smoothing 3D models of cranial embryonic mouse cartilage
Kočendová, Kateřina ; Harabiš, Vratislav (referee) ; Jakubíček, Roman (advisor)
The focus of this thesis is the smoothing of manually segmented 3D models of mouse embryo craniofacial cartilege. During the process of manual segmentation, artefacts and other imperfections appear in the final models and need to be repaired. Firstly, manual segmentation is corrected using gradients and thresholding. Subsequent smoothing methods are constructed based on theoretical research. Algorithmizing is executed in the MATLAB environment. All the designed algorithms are then tested on selected models. Statistical evaluation is determined using the Srensen–Dice coefficient, where manually smoothened models cleared of all artefacts are used as the gold standard.

Physical Fable
Machová, Helena ; VLASÁK, Jonáš (advisor) ; SOPROVÁ, Jana (referee)
Bachelor thesis entitled Physical Fable or Animal Character in Ritual and Theatre explores the use of animal characters in rituals of different cultures and in European theatre. It emphasizes the use of a mask for this purpose. The work draws from both the theoretical ethnological, cultural and similar sources, as well as from the texts of theatre makers, who have many years of practical experience. After introducing the concepts and linking the work to previous research, it focuses on understanding the differences and similarities between the ritual and the theater and the role of the mask in each one. It suggests the hypothesis that the ritual elements still exist in the theater among actors and theater makers, and they are therefore trying to return the ritual to the theater. There follows the exploration of various (mostly still alive) traditions including an animal character, from which a similar return could get inspired.

Arthur Breisky and Oscar Wilde: Criticism, Mask, Mystification
Bláhová, Šárka ; Doležalová, Lucie (advisor) ; Alt, Jaroslav (referee)
The thesis is devoted to the following two representatives of literal decadence, Oscar Wilde, British dramatist, prose writer, poet and essayist, and Arthur Breisky, Czech prose writer, literary critic and translator. The thesis opens with providing a basic insight into the life and work of both authors. They were both influenced by decadence, which was not only an artistic trend, but also a specific spirit of the time that was reflected in the psychological and social roots and opinions of both authors. The thesis works with the basic assumption that the Czech decadent Breisky was significantly influenced by Wilde in his opinions and activities. The thesis sets up three areas to explore that mingle and influence each other: criticism, masque and mystification. The main similarities between Wilde and Breisky are analyzed in the thesis. Based on the comparison of individual motives, it is possible to trace how Breisky builds on Wilde's ideas and what, on the other hand, he invents newly or differently. Apart from the comparison of both authors, the thesis also provides a comprehensive overview of Breisky's opinions on literature and art at the theoretical level. Key words: Arthur Breisky, Oscar Wilde, decadence, critique, art, masque, mystification, dandysm
