Cooperation of high schools with external contractors in preparing school educational programs
Tulach, David ; Lačev, Alek (advisor) ; Hochel, Matej (referee)
This thesis, Cooperation of high schools with external contractors in preparing school educational programs, deals with the question whether it would be possible and beneficial for high schools to cooperate with companies on the preparation or modification of their educational programs, with the goal of improving the quality of education. After initial contributions from experts who provided negative replies to this question, the view was focused on the root of the issue - what are the historical pillars of public schools and pedagogy, what does science say about learning and teaching, how pedagogy reacts to the crisis of science. After comparing literal sources and results from interview with the experts, in combination with a trace and activity analysis, a theory was established that public education is reaching a point of crisis, has not changed in its essence since its beginning and that the best solution might be the establishment of alternative educational institutions.

Book of abstracts. International symposium on experimental methods and numerical simulation in engineering sciences 2016
Kytýř, Daniel ; Zlámal, Petr ; Jiroušek, O.
The International Symposium on Experimental Methods and Numerical Simulation in Engineering Sciences continues the tradition of the Czech-German bilateral symposium founded by prof. Karl-Hans Laermann and prof. Stanislav Holý in 1985. In the following years, the symposium was extensively developed by prof. Josef Jíra. The symposium shall bring together mainly young scientists who are actively involved in experimental solid mechanics, theoretically and practically, in order to exchange experience, to report on the present state-of-art as well as on running research projects, to discuss due questions and problems and to promote the co-operation between individuals as well as between institutions. Therefore in the symposium discussions will play a highly significant role.

Are There Any Digital Curators in Czech Libraries?
Římanová, Radka ; Melichar, Marek
The development of digital repositories reveals the need for new Czech terminologies for library positions. One such job title or specialization is “digital curator”, a term which refers to a specialist responsible for digital collections. Competencies for digital curators include technical, organizational, communication, and marketing skills as well as some level of expertise in computer science as well as in information and library science. A survey of several administrators of Czech digital libraries asks how to best professionally label this group of library staff with respect to the actual activities they perform in their jobs - digital curators, administrators of digital libraries, or digital librarians? Job titles have a strong impact on higher education curricula, on the management of libraries, and also on the coordinated system of remuneration of employees at libraries, academic, and research institutions.

TIB AV-Portal: A Reliable Infrastructure for Scientific Videos
Plank, Margret
The German National Library of Science and Technology provides a web-based platform for quality-tested scientific videos including computer visualizations, experiments, interviews as well as recordings of lectures and conferences. Key feature of the portal is the use of automated video and semantic analyses, which enables pinpoint and cross lingual search on a segment level. All videos are assigned by Digital Object Identifi ers (DOI). As a result videos can be published in a scientifically sound way and be linked via DOIs to other research work like the corresponding article.

Social media influence
BAUEROVÁ, Milada
This diploma thesis deals with social media, specifically with what influence they have on an individual´s decision making while choosing a university. There are 87 universities in the Czech Republic, each of them offers unique study programmes and each one is specific, nevertheless, if they are divided according to subject-matter focus, for instance divided only into universities focused on the study of economy, it is difficult to differentiate which one will be the best choice for a possible student. For the purposes of this diploma thesis, University of South Bohemia has been chosen, and Czech University of Life Sciences Prague has been chosen for the purposes of comparison. The main goal may be specified as an analysis of social media influence during the choice of a university, and to design some useful recommendations based on the results. Other goals of this thesis are: - To find out how universities use social media, - To find out how students get involved in social media happenings. The results for this thesis will be obtained on the basis of a marketing research via a questionnaire survey among the students of the University of South Bohemia and of the Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague. Based on these results an analysis and a comparison will be carried out, finding out how strongly social media influences students when choosing a university, whether students themselves participate in social media happenings and what else may be improved by the universities.
