The depiction of the history of Czechoslovakia in comics
Hromádko, Jan ; Šafařík, Petr (advisor) ; Kozák, Kryštof (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with the representation of the history of Czechoslovakia in historical comics. Specifically, it focuses on the period 1948-1989, ie the period of hegemonic rule of the Communist Party. The subject of interest is more than forty comics, which depict different years and to different degrees of defined years. These are mainly comics by Czech authors, which were published after 2000. The aim of the work is to formulate functional mechanisms and interpretive tendencies of the representation of the past on the basis of qualitative research of Michal Uhl's comics. The analysis of comics, where attention was paid mainly to characters as the central point of the narrative, reveals several partial conclusions. The two main approaches to the representation of history in the analyzed comics are: complex (captures a longer period of time and more characters) and compact (focused on one character), the latter predominating. According to the way in which the psychology and motivation of the characters are portrayed, we can further divide compact comics into conservative (dichotomous characters) and progressive (non-dichotomous characters). Although the comics differ in their approach to the character, they do not leave the dominant framework of narrative, which is a critical view of the communist...

Stirling engine
Blažek, Petr ; Hromádko, Jan (advisor) ; Mařík, Jakub (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to introduce the Stirling engine, to evaluate its potential use in practice and to propose possible further development in this area. The first part is devoted to the historical development of the Stirling engine. The next part contains brief explanation of its function, describes the individual components, introduces all modifications and evaluates the main advantages and disadvantages. The last part deals with the use of the engine with respect to its properties, structure and possible design.

Profitability analysis of vehicles powered by CNG
Milevová, Monica ; Hromádko, Jan (advisor) ; Jindra, Petr (referee)
The purpose of this thesis was first to make a survey of compressed natural gas and its characteristic properties, matters relating to safety, environmental impact, and other issues associated with the use of this fuel. Furthermore, this work also addresses economic analysis of vehicle performance of operating vehicles on compressed natural gas of selected company. A new car fleet was created from the data provided from the selected company. The operational efficiency of compressed natural gas was detected and compared to results with conventional liquid fuels such as automotive gasoline and diesel fuel. Furthermore, the calculation of operating costs was made and the calculated return of investment associated with the use of compressed natural gas to power motor vehicles.

Analysis of power generators operating parameters
Kouba, Robert ; Hromádko, Jan (advisor) ; Mařík, Jakub (referee)
The theoretical part of this thesis gives a basic description of construction parts, functions, use and basic division of power generators. Fundamental indicators that play their role in electrical engineering and in the issue of power generators as such are also mentioned. For instance the requirements for the reliability of the electrical energy, or possible defects on the electricity network while using a backup power supply. The historical development of engines has also got its space in the thesis, mainly due to them being the fundamental functional element of mobile power sources. The practical part aims on the choice of a suitable power generator for the canteen building of Czech University of Life Sciences Prague, according to given operating parameters. The power generators have been described with the help of RENTAL company, who is also the provider of said generators. The conclusion shows an economic evaluation of the pros and cons of buying a new power generator or just renting one, and it also describes the estimated evolution of power generators in general.

Information technologies for competitive intelligence
Hromádko, Jan ; Molnár, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Vejlupek, Tomáš (referee)
This thesis concerns technologies useful for competitive intelligence purposes. Its structure follows the scheme of the competitive intelligence cycle. For every phase of this cycle applicable techniques are specified, and possibilities of their software support are reviewed. The basic technique is deconstruction of competitive intelligence process to its basic components, and searching and exploring methods which can be used within those components. That means, above all, evaluation of usable software. The aim of my thesis is to make readers acquainted with principles of competitive intelligence, bring together different methods of work, and introduce useful technologies including particular software products. This thesis should also be helpful in deciding about methods in case of planning competitive intelligence, and what advantages and disadvantages it brings.
