Strolená, Kristýna ; Radimecký, Josef (advisor) ; Vacek, Jaroslav (referee)
The topic of hallucinogens use is currently very actual. According the Annual Report on Drug Situation in the Czech Republic in 2015, the lifetime prevalence of LSD use in the population is 3.1 % and 5.4 % hallucinogenic mushrooms, but it is higher among young adults (5.7 % and 9,2 %) (Mravčík et al., 2016). Users of hallucinogens tend to be a people devoted to various forms of artistic activity.

Data has been obtained through the method of unstructured interview. Further the research tries to inquire, whether the use of hallucinogens may impact a subsequent creation of sober artists, and whether it is possible to find some typical patterns in use of hallucinogens by artists. The work is structured as qualitative study consisting of theoretical description of the problem and of methodological part.

Kobelková, Tereza ; Novotná, Viléma (advisor) ; Černá, Jana (referee)
Topic: Choreographical strategies of aerobic fitness teams Objective: To find out according to given criteria, which types of transitions from formation to formation in the competition FISAF fitness aerobic, have the highest impression (effect) on the observer. The types of transitions evaluated are; short and simple transitions, combination of transitions and long and complex transitions. Methods: Sequential mixed method was used to obtain the results. Three criteria, specific for the solutions of space and floor pathways, have been designed for indirect observation and quantitative analysis of the selected choreographies. Second criterion was evaluated by twenty experts through participatory observation and the results were quantified. Qualitative analysis was used in the second part of the third criterion and for all results of the quantitative analysis. Method of comparison was used to compare all results. Conclusion: Most effective showed to be the short and simple transitions, followed by combination of transitions. Long and complex transitions were least impressive for the observer. KEY WORDS: Space and floor pathways solutions, effect, choreography, aerobic fitness, creation

The Function of Speech in Husserl and Merleau-Ponty
Puc, Jan ; Novotný, Karel (advisor) ; Čapek, Jakub (referee) ; Janoušek, Hynek (referee)
The Function of Speech in Husserl and Merleau-Ponty The submitted doctoral thesis is an attempt to describe the development of the intentional function of speech in Husserl and Merleau-Ponty. The intentional function is defined as the change of expressed meaning that is engendered by the expression itself. We trace Husserl's position from the Logical Investigations and the first book of his Ideas pertaining to a pure phenomenology and to a phenomenological philosophy, where he describes speech as the non- productive mirroring of other kinds of intentionality, to the late text The Origin of Geometry, where he discerns two functions of speech: it provides thought its ideality, which is different from the ideality of species; and it provides thought its objectivity, i.e. the form of object that lasts in history as identical. In The Phenomenology of Perception, Merleau-Ponty adopts Husserl's late position with several profound modifications. The starting-point ceases to be the linguistic sign, and speech becomes a kind of gesture. As a consequence, the difference between linguistic and non-linguistic ideality disappears. Furthermore, Merleau-Ponty holds that the expression accomplishes the meaning of what it expresses. In this way, speech becomes creative and ceases to be just an empty intention of...

The Problem of Freedom and Creativity in Nietzsche
Kobylka, Vít ; Novák, Aleš (advisor) ; Marek, Jakub (referee)
The Thesis aims to explore the problem of Freedom and Creativity in Nietzsche. It attempts to do so in respect to the two main concepts of his high and late writings. Concept of Superman and concept of the Eternal recurrence of the same. In this respect our text follows especially interpretations of Martin Heidegger. We begin our treatise with situating Nietzsche's concept of freedom among more traditional thought and we put emphasis on comparison of it to the philosophy of Baruch Spinoza. In the next phase we reject (with Martin Heidegger and Ivan Dubský) simplifying understanding of the Eternal reccurence which understands it as dull determinism. We also analyse the topic of Creativity in Nietzsche and introduce it as fundamental anthropological theme. In the following chapters we identify certain moods that allow us to experience perspective of the Eternal reccurence and the one of Superman, which gives us chance to understand both concepts in their connection. But this connection remains enigmatic and in the last chapter we try, with help of Kierkegaard's concept of the moment, to understand both thoughts in their complementarity not only united in the concept of creativity, but also through Nietzsche's concept of the moment, understood as the original understanding of one of the aspects of...

Making movies in elementary school
Šuslík, Marcel ; Syřiště, Ivo (advisor) ; Mojžíšová, Jarmila (referee)
The theme of this work is the creation of films in elementary school and its place in the teaching process. I have examined the conditions under which this activity benefits both in terms of the development of key competencies and primary prevention. I assessed the availability of information on this topic. I performed in this respect RVP analysis, exploration of topics that handle some basic school and festival platforms, with more room for Antifetfest. Based on my own experience and observation, interviews and questionnaires, I developed a practical point shooting class project. I stated that making films as a class project is beneficial both in terms of prevention of risk behaviors and the development of a number of key competencies. Last but not least, enriching forms of work with students. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
