The beginning of the end of shoe production in Zlín The transformation of the shoe manufacturer SVIT Gottwaldov in the period 1989-1991
Grác, David ; Krátká, Lenka (advisor) ; Wohlmuth Markupová, Jana (referee)
In my diploma thesis, I examine the contemporary history of the transformation of the socialist economy after November 1989, applying the oral-historical method. As an example of such a transformation, I am using the traditional shoe producer Svit Gottwaldov. The thesis focuses on a specific time frame that began with the Velvet Revolution in 1989 and ended on 26. 11. 1991, when the state enterprise Svit - the former direct successor of the Bata company - halted production, put one-quarter of its employees on forced leave, fell into secondary insolvency, terminated the negotiations on the entry of the Bata company, and essentially collapsed. In the first part of the work, the methodology on which the text is based is laid out. The basis is oral history interviews, which are supplemented by archival sources. The second, empirical part, describes the events of that time in the form of a story. The plot of our story begins with a description of the state of affairs before November 1989, the subsequent revolutionary events, the return of Tomáš Bata junior, his negotiations to take over Svit. The story ends with the management's not very successful attempt at transformation and privatization.

Quantification of plantar pressure distribution and geometry of forefoot according to the character of shoes
Mojcherová, Andrea ; Jelen, Karel (advisor) ; Tlapáková, Eva (referee)
Title: Quantification of plantar pressure distribution and geometry of forefoot according to the character of shoes Objectives: The main purpose of this thesis is to describe and verify the changes in the sole of the foot according to the style of shoe which are manifested by changes in the values of the maximum pressure, contact area, contact time and changes in pressure time integral. The next object is to verify the changes in forefoot geometry according to the style of shoes. Methodology: The sample consisted of 6 healthy women of average age 25 ± 1 year. All study participants reported wearing high-heeled shoes occasionally which means not more than twice per week. The measurement was realized with the Pedar-X in-shoe pressure measurement system (Novel) and motion capture system Qualisys. Results were analysed statistically using Wilcoxon test. Statistical significance was set at p < 0,05. Results: From the received data we could find out the changes that footwear causes in healthy people. The findings of this study indicate that the use of different style of shoes affect all measured parameters such as maximum pressure, contact area, contact time and pressure time integral.From the experiment evaluation, it is clear that the style of shoes may also affect the geometry of forefoot.
