Critical Analysis of the Contemporary Views on Nuclear Deterrence in South Asia
Hruška, Adam ; Karmazin, Aleš (advisor) ; Smetana, Michal (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the influence of nuclear weapons on the relation between India and Pakistan in the context of the Kargil War. Specifically, the thesis is written in form of case study dedicated to finding the best applicable theoretical concept to explain the absence of use of nuclear weapons in conflict, combined with testing the concept of nuclear taboo. The Kargil war itself offers a specific case of open conflict between two states possessing a nuclear arsenal showing the issue of theoretical concepts built on the relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Thesis will deal with both the historical context of the conflict, i.e. from the nuclear tests of 1998 to the stabilization of the situation around 2003, as well as own strategic conceptions of the two participating states, which will be used as empirical data in comparison with the ideals of individual theoretical concepts. In conclusion, the thesis uses the acquired knowledge to clarify the applicability of individual concepts on conflict and the functioning of nuclear taboo in practice.

Food Security and Machine Learning: Opportunities and Challenges
Hruška, Adam ; Špelda, Petr (advisor) ; Plattner, Simon Antonin (referee)
The emergence of the effects of global warming, as well as the ongoing depletion of fossil fuels and fertile soil pose a serious threat for the future of the agricultural industry. Alternatively, the continuous population growth mainly in the less developed regions highlights the future need of approximately 70-110 percent increase in the overall output of contemporary food production. While the current conventional agriculture deploys a multitude of technologies including the precision agriculture framework, the future needs of the population exceed the projected capabilities of the industry. Machine learning as the current fastest growing technology represents the potential remedy for the emerging issues, yet the extent of successful implementation remains uncertain. The thesis aims to uncover the potential future implications of implementation of machine learning based technology in agriculture through the use of the new scenario building methodology. The analysis builds on a varying set of empirical data, current state of art projects in machine learning and multiple future trend projections. Albeit the scenario building technique allows for a potentially endless number of constructed scenarios, the thesis concentrates on three main plot lines. First scenario tackles the more probable...
