Fragile Future
Jedličková, Eliška ; Sobotka, Jiří (referee) ; Gabriel, Michal (advisor)
Fragility, variability, immateriality... In my final master's thesis, I focused on the theme of fragility and shadow in visual art. I directed my initial idea towards the motif of fragility and transience. It's a topic that has interested me for quite some time. Where are the boundaries of fragility? How can the perception of this concept differ for each of us? Fragility can be understood as a certain material property, but also as an internal matter. In connection with this theme, I decided to work with shadow, which, for me, is in many ways fragile, elusive, variable, and has no material essence, real nature, or form. I thus chose to work with aesthetic and spiritual phenomena.

Nonstationarity of the effects of modes of atmospheric circulation variability on surface climate elements
Hynčica, Martin ; Huth, Radan (advisor) ; Dobrovolný, Petr (referee) ; Beck, Christoph (referee)
Circulation modes are highly correlated, yet often distant areas detected in a field of a circulation variable, such as sea level pressure, geopotential heights, wind speed, and wind components. They consist typically of two or more action centres, which simultaneously weaken or strengthen, hence affecting the intensity and direction of atmospheric circulation and consequently surface climatic elements, such as temperature and precipitation. Temporal variability of action centres affects spatiotemporal distribution of impact on surface climatic variables. The availability of gridded datasets allows investigation of temporal behaviour of action centres and its impact on surface climatic variables on long time scales over large regions, which is, therefore, the main scientific topic of this work. Due to a large amount of reanalyses differing in e.g. assimilated type of data and model used for their calculation, the comparison of representation of circulation modes and their temporal evolution of relationships with surface climatic elements is conducted between reanalyses. Circulation modes in reanalyses assimilating both surface and upper troposphere/satellite data (ERA40, JRA-55, NCEP-1) are mostly similar whereas the 20CRv2c reanalysis, which utilizes surface data only, contains biases. Although...

Structuralism for the 21st Century
Vojtíšek, Martin ; Štojdl, Václav (referee) ; Rozwalka, Szymon (advisor)
Nomos is partly a theoretical project that explores differences between Dutch Structuralism and Japanese Metabolism and tries to find a contemporary architectural system, that is intended as a contemporary interpretation of these movements. The project emphasizes an underutilization of the changeability of our environment and tries to incorporate it into the design of the system so that the user can customize it. It explores ways to combine the benefits of organic growth and modular design through the simulation of a reaction-diffusion. The application of the system shows a possible solution in a specific context with the design of a fragment.

Molecular genetic variation of bats of the genus Hypsugo in the western Palaearctic
Balog, Štefan ; Benda, Petr (advisor) ; Vallo, Peter (referee)
Three species of the genus Hypsugo occur in the Western Palearctic. According to available sources, the species Hypsugo arabicus occurs only in the south of Iran (provinces of Sistan and Baluchistan) and in the northeast of Oman. The range of Hypsugo ariel lines the west of the Arabian Peninsula and can be also found in Egypt and Sudan. Hypsugo savii can be found in a wide range of areas from the Canary Islands through Western, Central and Southern Europe, the Balkans to the Middle East and Central Asia. The intraspecific and interspecific relationships of these three species have not yet been sufficiently investigated. Based on the data obtained from the sequences of mitochondrial and nuclear markers, a phylogenetic analysis was performed, which supplements the information on the intraspecific and interspecific relationships of the populations of this genus in the Western Palearctic. Two mitochondrial markers (Cyt-b and D-loop) and four nuclear markers (Rag2 and ACOX, COPS, STAT introns) were used for molecular analysis. Subsequently, Bayesian analysis methods and the Maximum likelihood method were used in the phylogenetic analysis to create phylogenetic trees. Furthermore, haplotype networks were created and p-distances between individual populations were calculated. In the species H. arabicus,...

Limits of Drawings
Korejsová, Karolina ; Pfeiffer, Jan (advisor) ; Francová, Sylva (referee)
In my bachelor thesis I research the topic of drawing and its variation and transformation throughout time and genre. I will describe the boundaries that define it and how these boundaries expand. I will focus on the difference between its significance and visuality in historical context and relate its variability to contemporary experimental trends. I will present drawing in a broad historical, cultural and technical context and this complete the image of its current boundaries. For the practical part, I am inspiration from said variability of drawing and its experimental forms. This work should correspond to the transformation mentioned in the didactic part of the thesis. An installation of a spatial drawing was created. In the didactic part, I elaborate on the section regarding the transformation of drawing into non-traditional forms and describe how such drawing experiments could be incorporated into practical education.

The influence of the menstrual cycle on eating habits and the need for sports activities
Jelínková, Karolína ; Jaklová Dytrtová, Jana (advisor) ; Šteffl, Michal (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with the topic of the influence of the menstrual-ovulatory cycle on the diet and physical condition of women. Countless studies in the field of training deal only with the male population, as the cyclicality of women is a complex and still not sufficiently researched topic. Because changes in hormone levels further cause various changes and reactions in tissues and organs, it is necessary to take into account the cyclicality of women in sports training, diet or other areas. Fluctuations in hormonal levels also cause psychological and emotional changes. In this work, a search is made of suitable studies together with known facts on this topic. The first part includes the description of the cycle itself and the second part the analysis of generally known nutritional recommendations. Thus, it cannot be assumed that women's activity is unchanged throughout the menstrual-ovulatory cycle. We created a table that monitors the sleep, diet, drinking regime, physical activity and emotions of women during the day, throughout the menstrual / ovulatory cycle. These elements are important for further research into female variability. It is important for women to understand their cycle, as it has an impact on the overall functioning of the body. During the cycle, changes were detected in...

Space of cyclic change
Müller, Tomáš ; Jakšík, Petr (referee) ; Rozwalka, Szymon (advisor)
The project on the theme of space cyclical change seeks to respond to changes in the needs for space use throughout the year. The building will serve as a campsite with exclusive sea views in summer, while in winter it responds to the phenomenon of bird migration, when the site will become a nonbreeding area for birds from the Nordic countries of Scandinavia.

Proměnlivost porostů dřevin v čase v objektech krajinářské architektury
Lasák, Daniel
Firstly, this bachelor thesis focuses on the phenomenon of actual overgrowth changeability in time. Secondly, it explores the overgrowth changeability on a specific model object and its usable potential, especially in park forests, but in other landscape architecture objects as well. What exactly does “changeability” stand for, how does it occur and what properties does it bring? We ask such questions and this bachelor thesis has the answers. On the basis of the changeability and many other analyses (the entire theoretical part), we create a proposal of an extensive, determined model object of a park forest named Amerika u Františkových lázní.

Kompoziční potenciál vybrané skupiny domácích rostlin v průběhu roku
Dlasková, Jana
In 2018, the composition potential of 28 domestic trees and shrubs was evaluated in the Slatiňany Castle Park. The beginning and duration of phenophases characterizing the development of leaves, flowers and fruits were determined. Each of them was then evaluated for their compositional potential. To the attractive phenophases of trees are attributed to the attractive phenophases of herbaceous, at the same time. In the course of the year, changeability are applied to the woody plants. The changeability is significant for garden architecture. The data of obtained from phenological observation are useful in designing the composition.
