Design of equipment for steam generation and superheating
Jakeš, Martin ; Gottvald, Jakub (referee) ; Nekvasil, Richard (advisor)
This thesis describes the design of a new circuit for the production of superheated steam instead of the original heat exchanger, which showed frequent failure. In the introduction is disassambling the problems of the existing heat exchanger and the proposed method of solving the problem. Proposed is a new process circuit consisting of a heat exchanger to heat the steam, separator and heat exchanger for superheated stream. Gradually, the work both heat exchangers are designed thermal and strenght. In the thermal part is modeled all process circuit and calculated in the program ChemCad. The strength calculation is solved analytically according to EN 13 445, then all dimensions of heat exchangers are optimized. In the conclusion is verified by metod of finite element critical part of the exchanger. After successful completion of the design thermal and strength calculation was made relevant drawing documentation.

Performance of birds in model cognitive tasks: a cross-taxon comparison
Schlőglová, Nikola ; Exnerová, Alice (advisor) ; Kahounová, Hana (referee)
Bird cognition is an immensely complex topic. Many factors influence how birds acquire, process and act upon obtained information. Some bird groups outshine others regarding their cognitive skills, and the underlying reasons for these differences are extensively researched and discussed. Birds naturally face varying environmental factors that could have driven the evolution of specialised cognitive adaptations not generalisable across all contexts. In contrast, some birds perform well in a broad range of cognitive tasks and may possess general intelligence. Model cognitive tasks help us gain standardised data on birds' cognitive performances to compare them across different taxa, which enables us to identify potential parallels. This thesis covers selected model cognitive tasks: string-pulling tasks, reasoning by exclusion tasks, transitive inference tasks, tasks related to mirror use and reversal learning tasks, for which it analyses and compares the performance of both well-studied and understudied bird taxa. The thesis describes the selected cognitive tasks, summarises available data and highlights correlations between birds' performances and other factors while discussing possible explanations for their varying performances. Finally, the thesis addresses the question of general intelligence...

Students' creativity in designing own simple experiments in biology lessons
MARTINCOVÁ, Kateřina
The aim of the diploma thesis, was to design the inquiry biology task, in which pupils could develop their imagination and creativity, and design their own experiment. For this purpose, a task has been proposed to verify the water needs of a plant, and the ways in which it goes trough the body of the plant. Required data were obtained using a didactic test focused on the single steps characteristic for inquiry based tasks. Another aim was to create a coding tool, used to identify differences between solution of individual pupils. Therefore a simple coding tool has been devised to identify and assess the level of creativity. The research took place at a primary school in České Budějovice. Pupils from three classes of the seventh grade were included in the survey, and a total of 53 pupils participated. The results showed that the overall success of pupils in didactic test was 47,37 %, and from the perspective of creativity itself an avarage value of 37,37 % was found. In terms of creativity pupils in this research had the highest success in the originality of designing the experiment without knowledge of tools, as well as in the elaboration of the experimental design with knowledge of tools. Pupils also achieved a relatively good results in elaboration of drawing the experiment without the knowledge of tools. On the other hand a very low success rate of pupils was found in the ability to propose further solutions to the problem, both in terms of originality and elaboration. The reason for these results could be the difficulty of completing a didactic test in which a guided type of inquiry was used, with which some pupils may not have had much experience. It was comfirmed by interviews with teachers that they involve the elements of inquiry and creative teaching rather irregularly.

Research on Strategies Students Use when Solving Problem Tasks
Koreneková, Kateřina ; Rusek, Martin (advisor) ; Bílek, Martin (referee)
The subject of this thesis is the identification of strategies, which are used by lower-secondary school students when solving problem tasks in chemistry. The strategies were identified during talks with ninth-grade students. The talks conducted by using the Think-aloud method were connected with solution of selected problem tasks. The ascertained strategies were classified as expansive strategies (such strategy can be used to solve more types of problems) and limiting strategies (such strategy can be used to solve easy task, but they can fail when solving more difficult tasks). Furthermore, reader's strategies, which help students to understand the tasks were separately identified. Also, other problems that students had to face when solving the tasks were identified. To identify problematic elements a collection of problem tasks named Metodické komentáře a úlohy ke standardům pro základní vzdělávání - chemie (Methodical comments and tasks for educational standards for elementary education - chemistry) were used. The results showed that when students solved the tasks, which were larger and more difficult, they often used reading strategies, which consist in multiple reading and reading aloud. Some of the expansive strategies the students used consisted in analogous deducing and logical reasoning....

Problem solving in the last 20 years
Micková, Hana ; Heller, Daniel (advisor) ; Stehlík, Luděk (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the phenomenon of problem solving focusing on last twenty years. The theoretical aim of this work is to describe issues of problem solving in the selected psychological areas as cognitive psychology, personality psychology, social psychology and applied discipline psychotherapy. In chapter "Problem solving in Cognitive Psychology" the phenomenon of problem solving and other connected terms (algorithms, heuristics, knowledge-poor problems, knowledge-rich problems, etc.) are defined. Further chapters are focused on subtopics linked to the phenomenon of problem solving: in the chapter " personality psychology " these are personality traits and types of problem solvers, in the chapter "social psychology" these are conflict as kind of problem and problem solving by small group, in the chapter "psychotherapy" these are different types of therapies focused on problem solving. In the second part of this work the research proposal is described according to the previous knowledges. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

The use of lateral thinking for solving company problems
Jaroš, Aleš ; Mužík, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Šerák, Michal (referee)
With creative thinking we can identify general methods of problem solving, look at real life from another point of view. The method of 6 Thinking Hats is one of the creative ways to do so. The aim of this thesis is a complex review of using this method when solving a problem in a group. It tries to show creative thinking by which the group should get a certain outcome in solving the problem. The thesis analyses thoroughly all the parts of the 6 Hats method, and at the same time, it tries to view other perspectives on the workings of the method. A significant part of the thesis is aimed at the instructor, who decides to use this particular method, and his work. It should be an instrument to use for application of the 6 Thinking Hats method on a specific company problem.
