Evaluation of the effectiveness of teaching vocational subjects depending on physical activity before schooling.
Janošíková, Martina ; Hanušová, Marie (advisor)
The period of transition to secondary school brings substantial changes in the requirements for study obligations, autonomy, communication, expression, or separated from their families in the form of staying at the dormitory. Students enrolled in sport centers, in addition to these changes, still struggling with the responsibilities associated with sport. Because they are students first through fourth grades of secondary schools and secondary vocational schools, an age when image self-I am, what I believe in, arises in interactions with the outside world and their own experience, plays a very important role to influence the environment, educators, teachers and trainers, with which students spend most of their time in practice. This study looks at students comprehensively in terms of personal development as a multifactorial biopsychosocial unit, in terms of cognitive and motivational processes, states and properties from the perspective of social psychology dealing with the interactions, relationships and communication, psychology of individuals within the social group and its importance for the development of the individual . It monitors conditions and educational outcomes in terms of educational psychology, dealing with forming properties, opinions, attitudes and value orientation from the perspective of educational psychology.

Children attachment to adult care providers in children homes - analysis of conditions and possibilities
Esterková, Manuela ; Matoušek, Oldřich (advisor) ; Pazlarová, Hana (referee)
The thesis tries to find the answer to the basic question: "What are the possible ways to strengthen attachment between children at the age from 9 to 18 months and their caregivers at the facilities of institutional care, nurses in particular?" The work also aspires to map the external conditions influencing formation of the attachment. In order to explain the topic, some theoretical findings of developmental psychology, attachment theory and information about the system of institutional care in the Czech Republic have been presented here. The answers concerning the strongest factors of attachment behavior and different attachment of one child to various caregivers and vice versa were being sought with the help of the method of an involved observation of the interaction child-caregiver during specific activities of feeding and bathing. Pieces of information about external influences of the attachment behavior and the possibilities to nurture it were being gathered by the method of semi-structural interview with the caregivers and the directors of the visited institutions. The activities of feeding and bathing, which were being observed, have been split into individual elements of attachment behavior (on the side of a child: visual attention, vocal reactions, smile and stretching arms towards the caregiver;...

Interactive visualization of XML schemas in internet browser using client's XSLT
Kačina, Peter ; Kosek, Jiří (advisor) ; Dudáš, Marek (referee)
This bachelor thesis is focusing on design and implementation of prototype application, which will be used for transformation from W3C XML schema to visual form in SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) format. Visualized schema will made easier to understand it and it will be possible to use it as a part of documentation to XML files. It could be also used by developers which will develop XML documents according to the schemas. Visualized form will interpret structure of the document and will provide information about its parts -- elements, complex types and attributes. The goal of the thesis is to create a tool, which will generate interactive graphic in browser with the help of clients XSLT processor -- Saxon CE. In the beginning in the thesis are described used technologies and its way of use in this prototype application. Further in the thesis is described design of graphic model and algorithm and also described how the interactivity is functioning. In description of graphic model are shown pictures of graphic interpretations of each structure mentioned hereinbefore. In following chapter is the algorithm, which main responsibility is to mine data from the source XML document and ensuring of interactivity, described in more detail. Practical output is prototype XSLT transformation, which with the help of clients XSLT processor Saxon CE will transform any W3C XML schema into graphic representation.

Unintended impoliteness of Czech speakers in English. A Czech-English contrastive study
Vokurková, Iva ; Klégr, Aleš (advisor) ; Šaldová, Pavlína (referee)
In the world of today, cross-cultural interaction takes place every day at many levels of our lives, be it a study stay abroad, work, migration or simply a holiday. The world is getting more and more interconnected, the term "global village" is today more true than ever and with globalisation and European Union integration people from various parts of the world and with various cultural backgrounds are brought together and interact in one way or another. However, communication, although having a number of universally applicable features, is culturally (as well as socially, etc.) determined and therefore it is of great importance to the interactants from culturally different backgrounds to keep this fact in mind and be constantly aware that in different cultures people can be accustomed to achieving the same ends by using different linguistic (and other) means. The field that studies the differences as well as similarities between linguistic means and communicative patterns of different languages is called cross-cultural pragmatics. Its outputs and conclusions help to detect the pragmatic sources of miscommunications as well as bring a new perspective on the languages and cultures in question. This knowledge proves useful not only in foreign language classrooms but in all sorts of situations to all kinds of...

Theory of mind in preschool children
Hončíková, Dana ; Mertin, Václav (referee) ; Šulová, Lenka (advisor)
Theory of mind, an ability to understand one's mind as well as that of others, is a prerequisite for normal functioning in the human society. It helps us explain and anticipate other people's behaviour, enables us to share meanings and understand humour and forms a base for all social interactions. Theory of mind is the comprehension of human subjectivity - the fact that it is the representation of things, not their objective state, that determines human behaviour. The ability to attribute mental states develops along with the age thanks to the maturing of cognitive structures and acquiring experience in the social area. The most significant changes of theory of mind occur in the preschool age as the child masters mental verbs and begins to understand second-order mental representations. Most researchers conclude that an important change in the quality of theory of mind takes place around the fourth year of age. It is at this time that the child begins to realize the difference between the subjective and the objective reality, which leads to understanding that our representations of the world may not be always correct and depend on our access to information. That is why the researches focusing on the development of theory of mind use a method that examines the ability to understand the false belief - the...

Measuring team effectivenes
Kočí, Ondřej ; Pavlica, Karel (advisor) ; Rymeš, Milan (referee) ; Bedrnová, Eva (referee)
The thesis is aimed at hot topic discussed among company managers nearly all over the world. The managers are concerned whether the team work is as efficient as it can be, whether the potential of team is fully used and how to train or develop teams to be more compatible and more effective. It is easy to measure the performance of operations teams. But this thesis focuses on teams where the hard measurements like time/pieced measures are not applicable. Method described in the thesis is more likely based on team communication analysis, effectiveness of team decision-making process in different stages of team development cycle. The methods describing the social interaction, team work and effective leaderships are the theoretical background of study in the thesis. The data used in study were collected in related research, where author was part of small research team. The conclusions are clearly presented and supplemented by ideas for further studies.

High-Quality Shadow Rendering from Complex Light Sources
Navrátil, Jan ; Sochor, Jiří (referee) ; Navrátil, Jan (referee) ; Zemčík, Pavel (advisor)
V interaktivních aplikacích jsou stíny tradičně zobrazovány s pomocí algoritmu založeným na stínových mapách. Nevýhodou toho algoritmu je, že stínová mapa, reprezentovaná texturou, má pouze omezené rozlišení. To může vést k nepěkným vizuálním artefaktům objevujících se na hranách stínů. Tato práce představuje postup, který je založen na vylepšené deformaci textury. To umožní zobrazit scénu obsahující složité světelné zdroje, zredukovat artefakty na hranicích stínů a také vylepšit kvalitu stínů bez ohledu na typu scény a její konfiguraci.
