Career choice in adolescence: role of gender stereotypes and identification with mathematics
Louda, Petr ; Smetáčková, Irena (advisor) ; Rendl, Miroslav (referee)
Career choice in education and the acquired/achieved level of education are factors that influence social status of men and women. Despite the fact that women, on average, currently achieve a higher level of education than men, women's marketplace status and their height of salary often do not correspond to it. One of the reasons is a low proportion of women in mathematics-related subjects. The aim of this research was to investigate the role of gender stereotypes and identification with mathematics in career choice. In the theoretical part of this thesis, I introduce the basic terms related to gender and gender stereotypes, the role gender plays in institutions and the potential causes of gender differences in the performance in mathematics. In the empirical part, I analyse data from a questionnaire study investigating career choice, level of identification with mathematics, attitudes to courses in the curriculum and the level of gender stereotypes in Czech adolescents. The results suggest few differences between girls and boys in these areas. However, the level of identification with mathematics and the level of gender stereotypes in the career area are related to the educational career choice.

English translation counterparts of the German pronoun man
Louda, Petr ; Brůhová, Gabriela (advisor) ; Luef, Eva Maria (referee)
The thesis describes and analyzes the possible translation counterparts of the German pronoun man which is used to express the general human agent. As English does not entail such device, it resorts to other syntactic and morphological devices such as the passive voice, various personal pronouns or non-finite constructions. The thesis also aims to discern and describe the systems and rules of the use of the translation counterparts by the means of quantitative- qualitative analysis based on two classification systems of man taken over from Helbig & Buscha, 2017, and Gelabert-Desnoyer, 2008. All excerpts are classified with regard to the counterpart used in the translation as well as with regard to the features attributed to the examples of man based on the two classification systems. The analysis is performed on 247 examples taken over from InterCorp v13, from the fields of fiction writing and parliamentary debates. Keywords general human agent, man, translation counterparts, InterCorp

Transition Modelling on Separated Flow in Turbine Cascade
Louda, Petr ; Příhoda, Jaromír ; Kozel, K.
The work deals with numerical simulation of turbulent ow through turbine cascade by RANS model with model of transition to turbulence. Performance of two transition models is compared. First one is gamma-zeta model based on transition criteria, second one algebraic transition model based on the concept of laminar uctuations energy (Kubacki, Dick 2016). The criterion for transition in separated state is re-formulated in order to remove stream-wise non-local formulation. The performance of the transition models is observed on the shock wave - boundary layer interaction on turbine blade.

Profile and analysis of the relationship between strength and speed of American football players
Louda, Petr ; Malý, Tomáš (advisor) ; Hojka, Vladimír (referee)
Title: Profile and analysis of the relationship between strength and speed of American Football players. Aims: The main aim of this study was to analyse the profile and relationship between strength and speed of American Football players. The research was taken to find, to what extent does strength and speed correlate including the test battery and if so, does the higher level influence results of the motoric tests. Methods: In our research we applied methods of analysis and comparison. The method of analysis was used in detailed breakdown of the measured results of the motoric tests. The comparison method was used to determine relationships between specific motoric tests. We carried the basic statistical processes of the measured data, which included calculation of the measurement of arithmetic mean, mode, median, minimum and maximum value, upper and lower quartile and variables. Range of scatter, deviation and quartile range together with variation coefficient. Relationships between motoric tests have been calculated by Pearson's correlation coefficient. Results: Statistically significant correlations were found between the tests of linear speed - 10 and 40 yard dash (r = 0.86) and tests of agility- 20 yard shuttle a 3 cone drill (r= 0.77). The correlation approached significance between other...
