Gottstein, Otomar ; Bayer, Tomáš (advisor) ; Čábelka, Miroslav (referee)
Analysis of the vastness of castles and their depiction on early maps Abstract The bachelor thesis is focused on the analysis of the vastness of the 21 biggest castles in the Czech Republic and their depiction on selected early maps of Bohemia and Moravia. For the purpose of analysis of the vastness there are defined geometric criteria in the thesis. These criteria take account of both the overall layout of the castle complex and the individual elements of the castle layout. All of these criteria are also applicable to all analysed castles. The analysis of vastness is realized with ArcGIS software; main source of data are geodetic plans from National Heritage Institute, additional data sources include Orthophoto CR and Digital Terrain Model 5th Generation. The numerical results of the partial criteria, presented in the results of the work, make it possible to determine the largest castle in our country or the castle with the biggest area according to individual elements of the castle layout. The analysis of depiction of castles on early maps is focused on the development of the cartographic symbol used for representation of these objects, the frequency of castles and used nomeclature in selected maps. Another part of this analysis is a cartometric analysis evaluating the accuracy of the depiction of...

Matter in Plotin's philosophy
Zajíček, Samuel ; Chlup, Radek (advisor) ; Němec, Václav (referee)
The diploma thesis attempts to present a consistent conception of matter in the philosophy of Plotinus. Its first part therefore contains a presentation of his own ideas about matter employing the interpretation of three key treatises dealing with this topic (Ennead II, 4 (12) "On the Two Kinds of Matter", Ennead III, 6 (26) "On Impassibility of Things Without Body" and Ennead I, 8 (51) "On What Are And Whence Come Evils"), the second part is dedicated to the overview and criticism of major modern interpretations of Plotinian matter. The third part then introduces my own approach, consisting of splitting Plotinus' hypostatis of soul into two hypostases, and identifying matter with the procession (i.e. proodic aspect) of the ontologically lower of the two. Arguments are offered for these nonstandard interpretive choices; the resulting conception is shown both as self-consistent as well as consistent with Plotinus' metaphysics as such, and it is demonstrated to be able to reconstruct the features that Plotinus attributes to matter.
