For the research the methods of analysis and appraisal of technical books, legal standards and information from internet sources were used. The qualitative research was evaluated by methods of comparison and analysis. By the means of analysis and appraisal of information from relevant literature the methods of cleaning of chimneys in particular periods of existence of chimney sweeping profession were compared. The main research was based on the evaluation of the answers to eleven questions concerning the issues of cleaning chimneys and the impact on health and enviromental protection and safety. The questions were presented to chimney sweepers in the form of an electronic questionnaire which was sent to two hundred persons from the whole area of the Czech Republic by e-mail. From the mentioned number 26 respondents sent their answers back. The results of the questionnaire survey were evaluated by the method of comparison individual opinions of the respondents were compared and after that the summary answers about various aspects related to chimney sweeping profession were made. The aim of this work was to compare the development of methods of chimney cleaning during various periods of existence of chimney sweeping profession and also to appraise the situation in the present days, including statutory instruments. The results of the research should have answered two main questions the first one should have assessed the effect of methods of chimney cleaning used in the present on health and enviromental protection and safety in comparison with the methods used in the past. The answer to the second one should have appraised legislation which deals with issues of chimney cleaning from the point of its comprehensiveness. The research shows that the techniques and methods of cleaning chimneys and flues used in the present guarantee better and higher health and enviromental protection and safety than the methods used in the past. However it is necessary to mention the fact that the number of fires which arise because of the chimney activity is still relatively high. According to the legislation the results show that the actual laws and regulations are sufficient, however in some aspects, especially in education system and professional preparation of chimney sweepers, we can find substantial defects.

The Town and Nature
Tupá, Jana ; Czumalo, Vladimír (advisor) ; Lapka, Miloslav (referee)
This bachelor thesis analyzes relationship between town and nature within the city, the inner nature, and its changes during the history of Western culture. This relationship is revealing through culturological point of view, thus interdisciplinary. This bachelor thesis goes from fields of historical anthropology, philosophy, philosophical anthropology and architecture. I perceive town as one of the most important features of human culture, that this artificial living space created, and it's further influenced. The relationship of city and nature is treated as expression of natural forces with which the man met during its existence, in the form of architecture, and the transfer of the nature into this artificial world in the form of gardens and parks, as an inner nature. KEY WORDS Town Nature Inner Nature Human Culture

Analysis and design of intranet structure
Novák, Miroslav ; Pour, Jan (advisor) ; Šedivá, Zuzana (referee)
Nowadays, Intranet is an inseparable part of every company, notwithstanding of their size or field of activity. Both, in my work and personal life, I often come across different intranets that usually do not get a positive response. But they usually have the same source of the problem, which is based on their wrong structure. This is why is chose this topic for my thesis. The goal of my thesis is to perform an analysis of an existing intranet of a particular company and subsequently create a design of the intranet new structure using the card-sorting method. This thesis primarily represents a generalized method of how to proceed during such realization and which areas to look into. Theoretical part of this thesis covers the topics of information architecture and also the term intranet itself, where the most frequent issues I came across in the intranets are pointed out. Practical part covers the analysis itself, where I focus on the structure of the existing intranet, categorization of its content, connections with other systems, customization, permission management, surveys of contentment, and intranet usage. The analysis is performed manually by scanning through the existing intranet of the company, since other methods or approaches could not be applied due to technical limitations or insufficient permis-sions. Based on the outputs of the analysis, web categorizations and the card-sorting method, a design of a structure of the new intranet has been proposed. The design itself is a demonstration of the method how to approach the new intranet design.
