Mist
Volkova, Zoya ; Kudělka, Vladimír (referee) ; Vaněk, Vojtěch (advisor)
The "Mist" is a visual narrative project on the border between 2D digital games and interactive animation. The virtual space here thematically take place between key words such as dream, sleep, limbo, phase of sadness, phase of dying. Subsequently, a form of metaphor is elaborated with the help of a non-existent landscape with specific elements (trees, plants, and others). Road through the countryside, road through the mist. Part of the movement of virtual space is a survey of linear processing over time.

Mechanical waves of air particles set in motion by a vibrating body
Coufalová, Kristýna ; Suchánek, Jiří (referee) ; Klodová, Lenka (advisor)
The work deals with the sound in its various forms outside the music scene in connection with fine arts. Experimentally modulates different positions between visual and audio elements. Do the musical components of shows and exhibitions only serve to manipulate emotions, or are they original autonomic works? The artistic result will be the creation of an experimental situation of direct confrontation of sound with live action. The work was significantly affected by the coronavirus pandemic, so it deals more specifically with sound/music in the virtual space and the issue of their transmission.

The role of ICT in everyday life and mobility of young people
Vojtěchovská, Klára ; Pospíšilová, Lucie (advisor) ; Šveda, Martin (referee)
This diploma thesis is focused on the role of ICT in everyday life and mobility of young people. The main goal of this thesis is to find out how the physical and virtual space mingle in the everyday life and mobility of young people who have been selected for the research, using diaries as a qualitative method. The aim was to point out some specifics of everyday activities in the physical and virtual space of the deliberately selected sample of young people that may be present in the whole population. The thesis is divided into two main parts. The theoretical part deals with the virtual space, Time geography in relation to ICT and some studies concerning different perspectives of the influence of ICT on everyday life of people. The empirical part focuses on the use of ICT by selected socio- demographical groups of Czech inhabitants and some time aspects of the use of ICT and other activities performed by young people and other age groups. Then, the key part is about the description of the mingling of virtual and physical space in the everyday life of 10 communication partners. Their mobility patterns are based on the mingling of two basic types of movements, virtual and physical. The mingling of virtual and physical space is also based on the time mingling of all activities, including the social...

Neurobiological Correlates of Episodic-like Memory
Oravcová, Ivana ; Nekovářová, Tereza (advisor) ; Stuchlík, Aleš (referee)
Declarative memory is characterized as a conscious, explicit memory. Declarative memory consists of two essential systems, semantic memory and episodic memory. Episodic memory enables us to recall specific past events. A simplified model, so called Episodic-like memory is often used to study episodic memory mechanisms. According to this model, all events are stored in a contextual framework consisting of three basic components: identity of the object ('what' happened), temporal information ('when' it occurred) and spatial information ('where' did it happen). This type of memory is testable not only in humans but also in animal models. Aim of this diploma thesis is to study the neuronal substrate of individual components of episodic memory in healthy volunteers by means of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and ecologically valid tasks designed in virtual reality environment. Results obtained in the fMRI paradigm show that apart from common neuronal substrate of episodic memory, additional brain structures are responsible for recollection of individual components of the episodic-like memory. Behavioral data indicate that the demands of the recollection of individual components is not equivalent. Additional analyses with parcellation of the brain to individual structures and consecutive...

Relation of culture to the social space of Prague (on the example of Slovak and Hungarian minorities)
Mészárosová, Marianna ; Uherek, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Botiková, Marta (referee) ; Červinková, Hana (referee)
The interrelation between space and culture represents the central question of this doctoral thesis. To interpret this relationship the author approaches the issue by virtue of actual identity attributes of the selected ethnic groups, namely Slovak and Hungarian minorities living in Prague. The aim of the work is to define the relevance and unique representation of the spatial and cultural phenomenon in the context of existing relations, including determining the extent of observability this mutual connection. The hypothesis of this doctoral is to present culture as a spatially unbounded, and the phenomenon of space as a medium, which can influence the intensity of interest in relation to the own ethno-identifying components. The verification of this assumption author carries out within social and virtual space, on the basis of registered discourses. Discourses, sorted into thematic categories, represent the most common attributes of ethnicity and ethnic identity of the given target groups. The empirical part of this thesis contains the analysis and interpretation of the discourses, which are supported with the theory of articulation. More comprehensive definitions of applied theoretical approaches, together with terminology, research methods and ethics or netiquette, are situated in the...

Immigration to Facebook Virtual Community and the Impact on Prague Offline Relationships
Bakalářová, Jana ; Máchová, Eva (advisor) ; Švelch, Jaroslav (referee)
These days old-fashioned ways of developing and maintaining relationships suffer from the fast-growing CMC communication. Following this does this evolution of computer-mediated communication have an influence on social relationships, friendships and user behavior? This thesis examines how strongly can social media influence people, their cultural identity and online/offline bonds. The thesis is mainly focused on Facebook social network, which currently brings together more than a billion people. My work is based on three hypotheses and my aim is to confirm or disprove whether people consciously dissemble and show better me than fact, whether our behaviour online has an affect on offline relationships in terms of weakening ties, and whether the Facebook relationships have weaker ties than traditional offline relationships. This thesis will be based on a survey of at least 400 people from Prague regarding their use of Facebook to form and maintain relationships. The questionnaire survey is based on the theories of CMC created by theorist Christian Fuchs in his publication Internet and Society: Social Theory in the Information Age published in 2008.

Useless Things
Maloušková, Drahomíra ; Jeřábková, Edith (referee) ; Artamonov, Vasil (advisor)
Useless things. I normally use trash things like pattern in painting still life. My father suffers from obsessive compulsive disorder – accumulation of things. In addition to painting, I also work with objects themselves. My interest also closely related to how the concepts of the subject, object and artifact are appliing in contemporary art. There are the tradition of imitation fact, principle of ready-made, the issue of technical reproducibility and virtual reality of things in history of art. As a central theme of my thesis, I selected the part of bodywork Tatra 613, which carries all the testimony about ,,useless and hopeless "situation in which it is located. It is also an object monumental and visually very aesthetic. Yet it is not my intention to settle for the principle of redy-made. Asked about artwork as intermediaries art and its seemingly useless producing and reproducing, I want to try to create another such usless situation. That's why I make a cardboard copy (1: 1) of this object. I also make video with motive 3D copy of the same object. I like to create some voltage between that useless object and valuable art practice. I think, it does not just mean such futility when these objects will be viewed as an art.
