Art creation as an inevitable necessity
Hrubý, Adam - Kristian ; Sedlák, Michal (advisor) ; Vartecká, Anna (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with the question of understanding an individual's creative work as an existential inevitability. It asks questions about the definition of an unavoidable need and examines where such need to create comes from in case of the author of the work, as well as presenting examples of personalities from the world of visual arts and history. The work also investigates the question of the inevitability of creating in connection with teaching practice, based on personal experience, it asks whether art education can be based on a didactic project based on improvisation, on unexpected events and changes, and the need for children to be creative in their free time.

Approach to the nuclaer safety of the 3rd generation nuclear reactors
Pavlíček, Michal ; Kolář, Jaroslav (referee) ; Kolář, Jaroslav (referee) ; Matal, Oldřich (advisor)
The main target of the master´s thesis is reviewing the generation III nuclear reactors in term of the nuclear safety. At first we have to learn some theory of the nuclear safety in order to understand safety systems of the generation III nuclear reactors. Therefore the thesis is divided into two parts. Legislative and technical approaches to nuclear safety are mentioned in the first part. Regulatory bodies, whose task is to supervise nuclear safety in the nuclear power plants, belongs to the legislative approaches. There are defined terms such as defence in depth, redundancy, diversity, etc. There are mentioned methods to assessing nuclear safety – deterministic and probabilistic methods, especially probabilistic methods, for which a simple example is provided. There are also mentioned active and passive safety systems and their significance for nuclear safety and inherent safety too. There is an example of the function of the active and passive safety systems of the EDU nuclear power plant in conclusion of this issue. The second part deals with description of the selected nuclear reactors in context of the construction of the new units of nuclear power plant in Temelín. The nuclear reactors from companies, which applied for the public tender opened by ČEZ, a. s., for the construction of the ETE 3+4. Thus, the nuclear reactor MIR-1200 by ATOMSTROYEXPORT (Russian Federation), the nuclear reactor AP1000 by WESTINGHOUSE (USA) and the nuclear reactor EPR by AREVA (France) are taken into account . Comparison of the generation II and these generation III+ nuclear reactors necessarily belongs to this master´s thesis. These the generation III+ nuclear reactors are compared with the nuclear reactor VVER 440 (EDU) and in particular with the nuclear reactor VVER 1000, which is operated in the nuclear power plant Temelín. The final chapter contains generally appraisal of the whole problem.

Photovoltaics in architecture
Bidlová, Jitka ; Kyselka, Mojmír (referee) ; Budkeová, Branislava (referee) ; Chybík, Josef (referee) ; Urbášková, Hana (advisor)
Nowadays there are more and more installations of renewable sources of energy. One of them is changing of sunlight into electric energy by using photovoltaic cells. Installation of photovoltaic systems into buildings and landscape is becoming modern approach to architecture and urbanism. It creates new architectonic expression - "solar design" and brings not only the energy profit but successful substitution for traditional materials and its usable properties.

Statistics Control of Process Described by Attributive and Continues Variable
Blachut, Vít ; Martišek, Karel (referee) ; Bednář, Josef (advisor)
The principle of the statistic hypothesis testing is explained in the first part of this bachelor thesis. Specifically, there is explained into depth the independency test for discrete probability distribution and its possible application on the real data. The second part of this bachelor thesis is dedicated to the monitoring of the stability process, using the control charts that are primarily used for assessing the process to be stable or beyond control. The focus is especially on chosen construction diagrams deduction. The suitable diagrams are then applied on the real process data, and later there are implemented tests of definable causes. The bachelor’s thesis was supported by project from MSTM of the Czech Republic no. 1M06047 Center for Quality and Reliability of Production.

Independent regulator as a public authority
Klimentová, Eliška ; Pomahač, Richard (referee)
This dissertation thesis presents the elaboration of the issue of Czech independent authorities on the basis of empirical data. For the purposes of the dissertation, an extensive dataset was created, which covers 16 central administrative authorities, the Czech National Bank and the Supreme Audit Office monitored in the period 1993-2021. The dataset also contains data on the heads of these institutions, their professional backgrounds, links to political parties and chances of completing their mandate. A sub-objective of the dissertation is to conduct a quantitative assessment of the formal (de iure) independence of the institutions based on the internationally used Gilardi index. The results of the assessment are useful for categorizing independent administrative authorities and for comparing them internationally. The assessment of formal independence primarily represents a first and necessary step for follow-up research, and the results are included as input data for subsequent analysis. For the purposes of this thesis, a Gilardi index was constructed for 18 Czech institutions (a total of 394 individual independence index values) since 1993. In order to compile the index, it was necessary to analyse the legal regulation of the institutional set-up of the surveyed institutions, including the...

The Female Protagonists' Dreams of Social Advancement in Irmgard Keun's Gilgi, One of Us and Elfriede Jelinek's Novel Women as Lovers
Zittová, Adéla ; Broukalová, Jindra (advisor) ; Markvartová, Eva (referee)
This thesis concerns the theme of female protagonists' dreams of social advancement in two novels, Gilgi, One of Us by Irmgard Keun and Women as Lovers by Elfriede Jelinek. It is divided into three main parts, with the introductory part focusing on the novel Gilgi, One of Us, the second part on Women as Lovers, and the final part on a comparative analysis of the protagonists' dreams of social ascent. Before the analysis itself, the first two chapters initially offer a theoretical background to the books in the form of a cultural and literary context and an introduction to the author's life. Thus, in the case of Gilgi, One of Us, the focus lies primarily on society during the Weimar Republic, the concept of the new woman is introduced, and as far as the literary context is concerned, the literature of the new objectivity is discussed. The analysis shows that the protagonist Gilgi corresponds to the concept of the new woman. Her inner attitude, built on diligence and discipline, is the basis for her ambitious dreams of getting as far as possible through her own efforts. In the case of The Women as Lovers the status of women in the second half of the 20th century is underlined, the feminist-oriented literature of the 1970s is introduced, and the protagonists Brigitte and Paula are portrayed as women...

Feminism in The Scarlet Letter and comparing Hester Prynne with Margaret Fuller's writings in Woman in the Nineteenth Century
KONOPKOVÁ, Tereza
This thesis explores the issue of Feminism as one of the approaches to Hester Prynne from Nathaniel Hawthorne's novel The Scarlet Letter. The novel is considered feminist not only because of how Hester is portrayed in the book, but also because it was written during the rise of the feminist movement and also because Hawthorne was close to Margaret Fuller who was one of the leading feminists of her day. Having compared notes from Fuller's Woman in the Nineteenth Century and having discussed other approaches to the novel, this paper shows that Hester Prynne, although she does show signs of it, is not as much a feminist rather than a transcendentalist. This judgment is evident when the reader realizes Hester did not change how society views independent women pursuing their goals, but rather trying to live for herself in harmony with God and nature.
