PATTERN PAINT ROLLER LAB
Giacintová, Zdeňka ; Arndt, Jan (referee) ; Ondrík, Jozef (advisor)
My work focuses on the technique of pattern paint rollers and their historical context. Above all, the work presents an opportunity for me to engage with a phenomenon that was very popular in its time and to explore its potential beyond traditional perceptions. Through a series of tests, I experimented with creating new designs and explored the possibilities of this technology, which included, for example, tests of the materiality and size of the roller matrix or the transfer of the decor from its typical interior setting to an exterior environment.

Intonation of a French sentence with enumeration by Czech speakers - a contrastive study
Brožová, Wanda ; Suková Vychopňová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Jančík, Jiří (referee)
1 ABSTRACT The bachelor thesis " Intonation of a French sentence with enumeration by Czech speakers - a contrastive study" describes the issue of selected prosodic phenomena of these two languages with a closer focus on intonation. The theoretical part introduces phonetics and phonology in general and subsequently presents the Czech and French phonetic systems - their segmental and suprasegmental levels. This bachelor thesis therefore describes the syllabic system and the basic prosodic elements of both languages studied. Among the basic prosodic phenomena, it describes the syllable, rhythm, rhythmic group, accent, and intonation. The practical part focuses on the analysis of intonation of Czech speakers in a French sentence with enumeration. A recording of a native speaker and a recording from the textbook (from which the sentence with enumeration was used for the recordings) are also analysed for comparison. The aim of the practical part was to find out whether native Czech speakers who speak French would follow the intonation of their native language for the given type of sentence or whether they would be proficient enough to use the intonation typical of the French language for a declarative sentence with enumeration. Through contrastive comparison and analysis using the program Praat, it was found that...

Nedvídková, Marie ; Hurníková, Kateřina (advisor) ; Jiřičková, Jiřina (referee)
The diploma thesis focuses on a design of an annual teaching plan for a musical and dancing afterschool program for elementary school students. The aim of the thesis is to present a dance style called "clogging" (American country step) and to present a methodology for teaching its basics, in which emphasis will be placed not only on getting acquainted with elements of this style, but also on the musical development of pupils. The diploma thesis was intended as a possible inspiration for the leaders of dance clubs who aim to teache their pupils not only to dance but to perceive the music sensibly and to work with it as well. It also coul serve as an inspiration for music teachers who would like to make their classes special or devote themselves to leading a musical and dancing afterschool program with an unusual focus. The theoretical part presents the development of children of younger school age, music and movement education and familiarization with the history and basics of clogging technique. The practical part presents the teaching plan of the musical and dancing afterschool program, which consists of a description of eighteen lessons that contain an offer of music and movement activities for one term and include the use of clogging elements.

Stress shift in Czech English
Farana, Michal ; Červinková Poesová, Kristýna (advisor) ; Matuchová, Klára (referee)
The purpose of the bachelor thesis is to explore how Czech speakers of English are able to predict and apply stress shift in their speech. The theoretical part gives a brief description of the English stress system and focuses primarily on a detailed exploration of the stress shift phenomenon and its function in relation to the rhythmic structure of English. The practical part aims at examining the ability of Czech speakers to produce stress shift in selected contexts. The respondents were recorded reading a text with items that typically undergo stress shift. The data obtained from these recordings were perceptually analysed and subsequently used to either prove or disprove the hypotheses formulated at the beginning of the research. Key Words lexical stress, sentence stress, rhythm, stress shift, Czech English

Personal characteristics of speech rhythm in Russian newsreading
Čížková, Irena ; Volín, Jan (advisor) ; Veroňková, Jitka (referee)
Personal characteristics of speech rhythm in Russian newsreading Bc. Irena Čížková Abstract An issue of individual rhythmic characteristics of particular 5 native speakers of the Russian language, newsreaders from the BBC, is described in this thesis. A research of the given 5 speech recordings was conducted based on the academic concepts created by Ramus, Mehler and Nespor, and by Low and Grabe and also by Dellwo, so through a speech rhythm research based on rhythm correlates that are related to vocalic and intervocalic intervals. The recordings were processed in an analyting program called Praat and the extracted results were then evaluated in a statistical processor called STATISTICA. These materials were used for further analysis. The recordings were analysed based on several parameters: %V (proportion of vocalic intervals in one breath group), ∆C and ∆V (standard deviation of the vocalic and consonantal interval duration), PVI-V, PVI-C (Pairwise Variability Index of the vocalic and consonantal interval duration), Varco V and Varco C (variation coefficient of the vocalic and consonantal interval duration) and the difference between duration of stressed and unstressed vowels. Three parameters that were the most successful from the speakers' ability to differentiate point of view were selected through an...

Movement in mathematics
Muchová, Zuzana ; Jirotková, Darina (advisor) ; Hejný, Milan (referee)
In my thesis I concern with the use of motoric activities in math classes. The chapters that offer a range of motoric activities were processed on the base of a questionnaire and an experiment. Some of the activities are currently being implemented in math classes by teachers of first, second and third grades at primary schools, others are part of textbooks designed for this age group. In addition to that, I offer five more possible activities, which have been recorded and interpreted within six experiments. The goal of the thesis is to demonstrate that physical movement cannot be separated from the life of six to nine years old children, and offer some motoric activities, which can potentially be contributive for development of mathematical skills and abilities.
