Time of landscape
KOPÁČKOVÁ, Alena
This diploma work is virtually focused on the landscape-painting. The presented painting cycle reflects the temporal variations of landscape. It provides a transcription of emotional experiences and feelings arising from an intimate communication with a certain landscape spot. The changes in time are demonstrated via a repeating motif, which enables to follow the colour variability of the nature and the surrounding atmosphere. Photos attached to the work display the landscape variations in the durations of two years. The regular observations of two tree motives result in a cycle of nine paintings, which can be further divided into three series. The theoretical part of the diploma work clarifies its principal idea. It explains motivations, inspiration resources and circumstances leading to the completing the painting cycle. The attention is also paid to the landscape-painting as a genre art and selected artists, those creations were inspired by the close touch of the nature.

Multimedia Data Processing in Heterogeneous Distributed Environment
Kajan, Rudolf ; Ferko,, Andrej (referee) ; Míkovec, Zdeněk (referee) ; Herout, Adam (advisor)
Pervasive computing sa zameriava odstránenie zložitostí pri interakcii s výpočtovou technikou a zvýšenie efektivity pri jej každodennom používaní. Ale i po viac ako 15 rokoch od sformulovania hlavných cieľov Pervasive computingu existujú aspekty interakcie ktoré stále nie sú súčasťou užívateľskej skúsenosti s dnešnou technológiou. Bezproblémová integrácia s prostredím vedúca k technologickej neviditeľnosti, alebo interakcia naprieč rôznymi zariadeniami predstavujú stále veľkú výzvu. Hlavným cieľom tejto práce je prispieť k tomu, aby sa ciele Pervasive computingu priblížili k realizovaniu tým, že predstavíme spôsob intuitívneho zdieľania informácií medzi osobným a verejne umiestneným zariadením. Predstavili sme tri interakčné techniky, ktoré podporujú intuitívnu výmenu obsahu medzi osobným zariadením a zdieľaným displejom. Tieto techniky sú založené na prenose videa, rozšírenej realite a analýze pohľadových dát. Okrem interakčných techník sme tiež predstavili mechanizmus pre získavanie, prenos a rekonštrukciu aplikačného stavu na cieľovom zariadení.

Happiness and pain in Czech language picture of the world - topics of cognitive linguistics as part of teaching at primary and secondary schools
Palkovská, Lenka ; Machová, Svatava (advisor) ; Rangelová, Albena (referee) ; Nebeská, Iva (referee)
In my doctoral thesis, I foeused on both eapturing the linguistie pieture of the notions štěstí (happiness) and bolest (pain) in the Czech linguistie pieture of the world, and also on the possibility of incorporating cognitive linguistics topics into Czech language teaching. First of all, I deseribed the notion of cognitive linguistics in connection with psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, and the theory of artificial intelligence. In this theoretical part, I touch on the problém of cognitive relativism compared to cognitive universalism, based, in particular, on Irena Vaňková's book Co na srdci, to na jazyku (Vaňková et al., 2005). I also briefly dealt with the Russian branch of cognitive linguistics. However, a greater attention was paid to the Polish tradition, and to the summary of linguistie pieture features. There are several defínitions of the linguistie pieture of the world: an interpretation of reality is pointed out in one, the way of segmenting the world, and viewing individual parts in another, the way of existence (appearing) of the world in the third. Irena Vaňková gives the following deseription: "It is possible to penetrate the natural world structures by means of language: quite a few essential things will open to us if the linguistie pieture of the world is explored because the natural...

The Image of holocaust in Narratives and Sites of Memory
Grešlová, Dagmar ; Korčok, Martin (advisor) ; Novotná, Hedvika (referee)
My thesis is devoted to various discourses regarding the Holocaust, and methods of representing events closely wedded to the Holocaust. I follow two lines of relation to the Holocaust - the main themes of my dissertation are questions regarding the function of seemingly non-living sites of memory (material participants) and questions regarding the significance of narratives (de facto nonmaterial participants), both with respect to the image of the Holocaust that these two institutions construct. I examine in detail the character of "sites of memory" and the nature of narratives, and I attempt to delve into the structure of memory that these institutions are supposed to represent, to reveal the mechanisms used by these institutions to work with memory, and what sort of image of the Holocaust they portray. In my thesis I try to clarify the issue of the mechanisms of memory, its dynamism, and dependence on context and location. Through an analysis of the narratives of Holocaust survivors, I strive to present key moments and thematic areas of narration. I touch upon the problem of limits and the crisis in representing the Holocaust. I also take an interest in the current appearance of sites of memory, the changes in materiality over time, and types of approaches to it (conservation, reconstruction). I...

Originality of Science and the Issue of Plagiarism. Three Contribution by E. Rádl from the years 1902-1911 on Language Issues in Science
Hermann, Tomáš
Subject of the contribution includes selected publicistical and polemical outputs of biologist and philosopher Emanuel Rádl (1873-1942) from two decades before the First World War, which touch upon the issues of national language in science: 1. In a small replica from 1902, R. Fick, a professor from Leipzig, was interested in the general issue of the meaning of science being accomplished in the national languages of small nations. 2. In a longer, idependent essay from 1910 on the nature of Czech natural sciences, Rádl reacted to the general accusation that Czech science lacked originality and plagiarized the German model. 3. At the same time, Rádl himself headed directly into the heart of the Czech scientific community, accusing his colleague, botanist K. Domin, of plagiarism. The following furious controversy affected a part of the natural sciences community. The biographical circumstances related to one individual show one type deliberation of the time on the language issue in science.

A part of the thesis is also dedicated to poetry forms of Oláh's writings. In his poetry, Oláh mainly deals with love, nature and Romany community life seen as a Romany life-style ideal. The author also puts great emphasis on links with the Mother- Earth and the need of revitalization of these links which are to bring a resurrection of the human spirit. Appeals for human brotherhood and revitalization of human kind are ubiquitous features of Oláh's poetry. An active Christian, he is professing his faith and glorifies the Christian religion. For Oláh, Christianity provides the blueprint for a pure life and a sense of human existence. His poetry also touches Romany rights, the idea of tolerance between people, racism and the reconstruction and development of romipen, principles of traditional Romany life. Another part of the thesis focuses on poetry of some other Romany poets with a special emphasis on topics and poetry...

Specifics of social work with the elderly at risk syndrome Elder Abuse and Neglect
KRÁLOVÁ, Iveta
This diploma thesis deals with problems of the Elder Abuse and Neglect Syndrome, that is abuse, mistreatment and neglect of senior citizens. The diploma thesis is divided into two parts - theoretical and practical. The theoretical part is further divided into nine chapters. Ageing, senescence as well as biological, mental and social changes are described in the first chapter. The next chapter is devoted to the phenomenon of ageism, its sources and manifestations of discrimination by caretakers. Domestic violence and its specifics are defined in the third chapter, where the myths of domestic violence are included as well. The fourth chapter deals extensively with the EAN syndrome. All possible sorts/types of the violence (i.e. physical, psychical, economical, sexual etc.) are described in this chapter. The following chapter is devoted to the root causes, risk factors, diagnosis and possible consequences of abuse and neglect of senior citizens. General profile of the victim/abuser, preventive measures and possible solutions of this phenomenon are described in this chapter too. General information about where to get help if needed can be found in chapter six. The last three chapters of this diploma thesis dwell on the social work with senior citizens, crisis intervention in person and crisis intervention by phone. The second part of this diploma thesis is of practical nature. The purpose of it was to find out whether selected social workers (caring professional staff) are well informed of and familiar with the EAN syndrome, whether they have direct experience with any abused elderly person, and what tools are being used when dealing with the studied phenomenon. I used the qualitative research design for the data gathering, the method of questioning and the technique of semi-controlled interview. The qualitative research was executed in the period of November 2012 to February 2013 in the form of semi-structured interview in Třebíč and in České Budějovice. The selected workers - social workers, caretakers and nurses - participated in the research conduct. The workers of selected facilities were chosen according to whether they fitted in with the elaborated framework of quota sampling. The final group was made up of 10 respondents (10 women). The respondents were between the ages of 35 to 55 years. The semi-controlled interview with selected social workers was made on the basis of predetermined questions in a fixed order. Outcomes of the interviews were processed in the form of interview analysis. After the processing of the results I found out, that all workers in selected facilities in Třebíč and in České Budějovice are not sufficiently aware of the problems of the EAN Syndrome. Furthermore, the research revealed that 8 out of 10 respondents had direct experience with mistreated, abused and neglected elderly person. Economic abuse was the most common one along with self-neglect and rude behavior from the caring staff. The last, third aim of the practical part of my diploma thesis was to find out what tools of social work are being used by workers when dealing with elderly persons suffering the EAN Syndrome. Interview was the most commonly used tool of social workers in selected facilities. The next tools are reporting the situation to the superior staff, getting in touch with experts in the field (i.e. psychologist, psychiatrist), social unions and the police. After the processing of the results I reached the conclusion. Despite the fact that selected workers face various kinds of abuse, mistreatment and neglect of elderly persons, they are insufficiently informed about the EAN Syndrome.

Disparity v demografickém vývoji vybraných regionů
Laštůvková, Renáta
The subject of my thesis are disparities in demographic trends of selected municipalities with extended powers in the South Moravian Region. In the period 2001 - 2014 will be analyzed demographic indicators such as birth rates, mortality, abortion , divorce , marriage , and increases in population and for the total , net migration and natural increase. All of this will follow the development in municipalities with extended powers in the district Brno. These municipalities with extended powers were chosen primarily because analysis of the state of the area of Brno as part of its agglomeration. Geographical areas of municipalities with extended powers are sufficiently small area to show us the problems arising from demographic change. Lower territorial unit, a community for us has been a good representative sample. And because of the very different problems of individual communities. Areas which will touch this thesis, the administrative districts of municipalities with extended powers Ivančice, Kuřim, Pohořelice, Rosice, Šlapanice, Tišnov, Židlochovice. Individual demographic indicators will be analyzed in all these municipalities with extended powers and will be processed in graphs and tables. All this will then be compared with each other.
