Influence and impact of digital film distribution on art-house cinemas
Žůrek, Tomáš ; DANIELIS, Aleš (advisor) ; VÍTEK, Petr (referee)
Digitalization of cinemas brings the biggest change in the distribution of films in the last decades and its impact affects all cinemas worldwide. The new programming options, extended range of alternative content and deeper dramaturgy are among other news which have been brought by digitalization. Are these new opportunities sufficient to make the classic and art-house cinemas competitive with multiplex?
The content of this work is analyse of the art-house cinemas in the Czech Republic. It explores the impact of digital distribution of films on these cinemas. Financing and technological changes which cinemas had to go through during the process of digitalization is the main focus of the work. The overall evaluation of the impact of digitization on the art-house cinemas is based on a comparison of art-house cinemas and their data relating to the digitalization and results of the questionnaire which has been sent to selected cinemas.
The last part contains a brief comparison of the process of digitization of cinemas in the Czech Republic, The UK and Slovakia.

Unconventional monetary policy after the collapse of Lehman Brothers
Dragoun, Josef ; Brůna, Karel (advisor) ; Dvořák, Michal (referee)
This diploma thesis is focused on unconventional monetary policy tools that individual central banks introduced into practise as a response to the global financial crisis. It is about quantitative easing policy, foreign exchange interventions with exchange rate commitment and negative interest rates. This thesis also deals with classical tools of monetary policy such as open market operations, discount tools, minimum requirement reserve or foreign exchange interventions. The aim of the thesis is to document the development of central banks policy and then to examine relationship of selected assets in comparison with balance sheet of Federal reserve systems with help of correlation coefficient. The thesis also deals with the thought how should behave in the zero lower bound environment and what are the pitfalls of unconventional monetary policy.

Music as an Inspiration in Art Education
Salamonová, Kristýna ; Fulková, Marie (advisor) ; Bláha, Jaroslav (referee)
This thesis is focused on an interconnection of two disciplines within the frame of art lessons given at primary school. It investigates a musical and creative context (contemporary and historical) and its interaction and influence on each other. It concentrates on changes of musical and art comprehension from a time point of view, when old opinions and perceptions penetrate from the past to the present. The scope of this thesis is based on an extensive study of classical theories data and analyses of the qualitative research. Through all the document references and research data are mentioned to underline mutual relations and coherency between individual theoretical texts. The thesis is divided into two parts. The first part deals with theoretical research and possible interconnection of musical and art disciplines and it also deals with presentation of functions and changes of these disciplines. It elaborates a relative correlation of musical and art language and it also outlines their development and tendencies, including a description of outstanding artists and an explanation of important terms related to their works. In the second part the process of the research itself is described and an ambience of a primary school, where the research was done, is introduced. There is depicted a plan,...

Determination of drift distortion in SEM micrographs acquired at different magnifications and acquisition times
Petráňová, Veronika ; Koudelka_ml., Petr ; Valach, Jaroslav
In the experimental mechanics wide variety of optical methods including measurement of deformation at reduced length scales using combination of computer vision and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) have been recently applied. One of suitable methods for in-plane measurement of displacements and deformations in the micrographs obtained by SEM is the 2D digital image correlation. In contrast to images obtained in visible spectrum by classical optical devices temporally-varying distortions known as drift distortion are present in the SEM micrographs. These distortions are caused by positional errors of electron beam during scanning process. Magnitude of this effect decreases with higher conductivity of the sample and is also influenced by magnification and scanning time. For this purpose measurement of distortion was performed on a series of micrographs of conductive samples acquired at different magnifications and acquisition times. Surface of each sample was covered with liquid silver to ensure adequate contrast pattern necessary for determination of distortion’s magnitude and distortion magnitudes were assessed.

Financial functions in Mathematica
Stacho, Michal ; Hurt, Jan (advisor) ; Zichová, Jitka (referee)
The Mathematica software contains a fully integrated environment for a large number of instruments used in classical and modern finance. One of it`s basic capabilities is an advanced evaluation of the time value of money, then pricing of financial instruments such as bonds or financial derivatives and finally financial mapping with advanced library of technical indicators. Mathematica also provides immediate access to a large field of financial and economic data through external servers and offers financial tools for working with external data. This thesis deals with descriptions of the functions implemented in Mathematica, explaining the principle of their operation and application to real data.

Is trust in economy neglected unjustly?
Lipták, Michal ; Janotík, Tomáš (advisor) ; Cahlík, Tomáš (referee)
This thesis is seeking theoretical background as well as statistical evidence of links between classical and institutional economy by connecting their typical phenomena, specifically the notion of trust from the theory of transaction costs and the notion of return velocity of money from the quantity theory of money. It proves, that trust in the mainstream economy actually is omitted unjustly, for there is a strong statistical correlation between trust and real, as well as nominal, outcome. This conclusion is notable despite that there was not found any definite empirical evidence that this correlation is caused by effect of trust on return velocity of money. Furthermore, the thesis is attempting to find determinants affecting the level of trust like ethnic and religious disunity of the nation, but attempts to find their effect have failed. Keywords: trust, institutional economy, classical economy, return velocity of money, tribes

Physiological correlates and semantic distances in word association test
Lukavský, Jiří ; Šikl, Radovan (advisor) ; Urbánek, Tomáš (referee) ; Kremláček, Jan (referee)
The project is focused on the physiological reactions during Word Association Test (WAT). The author tests the hypothesis originally proposed by Slechta (2002b) about separable cognitive and emotional workload, where · the cognitive workloads manifests in reaction times (RT) and emotional work- load in physiological reactions (e.g. electrodermal activity). The hypotheses were tested on the sample of young healthy adults (N=80), with protocol consisting of 40 Czech nouns. The stimuli varied in their level of concrete- ness and their emotional valence. During the experiment RTs, electrodermal activity (EDA) and pupillary responses (PR) were measured. Data support the original ndings that RTs and EDA reactions reřect in WAT di®erent situation requirements: cognitive workload and emotional workload, respectively. The e®ect of cognitive workload is larger and mani- fests also in EDA reactions, while EDA demonstrated the best sensitivity to emotional valence condition from all employed methods (RTs, EDA, pupil- lary reactions). The e®ects are unfortunatelly too small to allow a reliable classication of responses. The e®ects of other factors (subjective valence, corpus frequency of re- sponses, semantic proximity measured with Semantic Selection Test) were investigated, but even when signicant correlations were...
