The term homelessness denotes summation of dealings and actions, causes and consequences which leads to loss of upcountry (home), life surenesses or more precisely to social preclusion. In my thesis I tried to zoom homelessness problems without prejudice and to find out public opinion on this. It should serve as basis for further research in this scope and increase the degree of awareness about the homelessness problems.

Hronová, Helena ; Neusarová, Jana (referee) ; Šnýdrová, Ivana (advisor)
Simultaneously hold an office in top management and to perform duties in family can be described as superhuman. Women, who accomplished, however exist. They have overcome all gender stereotypes and managed to gain job, who they wanted. Research proves that not many women have succeeded. There are many aspect of effective glass ceiling. They are indirectly forced to choose between career and establishment of family, which leads to their demotivation. There are ways, how can employers support growth in the employment and to co-ordinate working and family live. Some have improved working conditions for women by the way of allowing working for employer at home or by part time jobs. The others established pre-school institutions for their employees. This leads to certain relaxation for women. They can more focus on their job after implementation of these measures.

Socially Excluded Localities and Their Revitalization. Case Study: Ústecký Region.
Zoubková, Věra Thea ; Maier, Karel (advisor) ; Jakub, Jakub (referee)
The dissertation deals with the incidence and revitalization of socially excluded localities in a defined study area. The aim of this contribution is to identify and visualize the situation of the Ústecký Region in order to find common patterns of urban deprivation occurrence and to establish the guiding principles of revitalization policies in the Czech Republic. The research took place from September 2010 to June 2015. It combined qualitative and quantitative methods, in-situ and desk research. An analysis of primary and secondary data revealed 130 excluded localities in 42 towns and cities out of 354 in the region. The majority of deprived localities (87 %) can be found in highly urbanized areas. Two thirds of localities are small areas with up to 100 inhabitants. Socially excluded areas emerge in the centre, residential districts as well as on the outskirts of towns; however, three fifths of localities are not spatially segregated. Prefabricated housing estates are the largest and most populated deprived areas. Every other inhabitant of socially excluded localities in the Region lives in a prefabricated house. Brick houses are the most proliferated type of housing facility used as accommodation for socially excluded people. They can be found in every other deprived area. Vast majority of them was built before 1989. Family houses are deprived very scarcely; however, they belong to the most dilapidated part of socially excluded housing estate. Two thirds of localities have developed naturally, while the other third has been created by a regulated relocation of socially excluded people. Vast majority of deprived areas have existed for more than 5 years. Private property prevails. Half of the localities have entered the process of revitalization to improve the urban environment, human resources and security. Applied policies aim to keep the inhabitants in place and improve the quality of public space and service. However, involvement of residents in local regeneration policymaking is weak and ineffective. The renewal process depends on grants and subsidies. Europeanization is strong especially in big cities; nevertheless, most localities are small and therefore don't qualify for the sources of the built environment programs which prefer large areas of intervention. Results of revitalization process differ from one locality to another. Areas of housing and employment fall behind in particular. As far as property regeneration is concerned, the best owners are municipalities, house unit owners associations and housing associations. Not in one case, however, reaches the share of regenerated housing units 50 % of deprived properties. In any case, the market prices of local flats stay low compared with those of correspondingly equipped properties elsewhere in town.

Distributed computing
Šišaj, Róbert ; Novotný, Miroslav (referee) ; Dvořák, Zdeněk (advisor)
The aim of this work is creating a system for distributed computing in smaller LAN networks. The system should provide a platform for various applications, which will be able to run parallel processing of computationally expensive tasks (e.g. searching for prime numbers, rendering video sequences, editing photographs, ...). The reader will learn about distributed systems, about their advantages and disadvantages and will get knowledge of definitions and key words from this area. The work also makes a comparison of this system and a few existing systems (SETI@home, distributed.net). An analysis of weak parts of the proposed system is included in this paper and also some ideas and thoughts on some improvements of the system in the future.

Bělohoubek, Martin ; Sládek, Libor (advisor) ; Pecháček, Stanislav (referee)
In recent years the guitar has belonged to the most popular instruments. Its influence reaches many countries, where it has found its new home. It is most significant in music styles such as blues, rock and country. It is evident that these styles would not develop without the guitar. The work deals with the impact of the guitar and guitar players on the history of styles, looks into techniques of various guitarists and classifies them into the history of genres. One chapter is devoted to riff, the melodic sequence, which influenced the thinking of rock musicians in a fundamental way. Guitarists have gradually become heroes, attracting masses of listeners. Consequently, their popularity is used in advertising in order to promote certain goods. For this reason the theme of advertisement has been introduced. The final chapter of this work focuses on the practical use of the instrument in music lessons and presents drafts of song guitar accompaniments.

Štérová, Dora ; Miholová, Kateřina (referee) ; Just, Vladimír (advisor)
This MA thesis is dedicated to the most important period of work of the Chamber Theater in currently non-existing space in the great hall of the Central Hotel in Hybernska Street, Prague. It was the home of the Cabaret Cervena sedma, and in the twenties of the Orion Movie Theater. Since 1930 the Chamber Theater belonged to the Vinohrady Theater, and in 1950 it became one of the stages of the City Theaters of Prague. During the ,,vinohrady era" the Chamber Theater was intended for generally "lighter" repertory but from half of 1950's until its elimination in 1976 it became an exceptional occurrence in the context of contemporary professional theaters. It managed to effectively fight against political imperatives; it produced such shows as Bulgakov's Escape, Durrenmatt's Physicists, Play Strindberg and Romulus the Great, Sartre's Flies, Kllma'a Jury, Barnes's The Rulling Class even Shakespeare's Richard II. This theater was the birth place of one of the . most famous productions by the director Alfred Radok, Rolland's ·Game of Love and Death. Apart from Radok many other regime-unpopular directors have worked there as well - for example: Karel Dostal and Miroslav Machacek. The repertory of the Chamber Theater can be considered as an example of a precious dramaturgic policy which was balancing on the edge of...
