Our Křížová Street
Sopoušková, Petra ; Nekvindová, Terezie (referee) ; Klímová, Barbora (advisor)
The topic of my diploma thesis is connected to my previous studies at faculty of architecture. My intention is to explore very undesignable organic development of urban spaces, but for an architect it is difficult and unusual to work with because of standardized planning process of public spaces. Using art based research I am trying to find, define, and prove existence of mental space that complements material shape of urbanized areas. As a locality for experiment I chose a street I live in for five years, and simultaneously had a wretched destiny – the Křížová Street of Old Brno district. As a piece of diploma project I present a lecture and lecture noteshowing – results of abstract contemplation gained by research in the locality. The aim of lecture is to encourage audience in ability to percieve and trust in existence of mental space in a way I described it.

Visualization of flight data to passengers
Alfery, Vladimír ; Dittrich, Petr (referee) ; Chudý, Peter (advisor)
The goal of the thesis is to enable passengers to see the actual flight information, which the pilot sees from the cockpit. This information is viewable on electronic device connected to the aircraft internal wireless network. Web application which uses CesiumJS library to view terrain is used in order to ensure compatibility with the most nowadays devices with operating system Windows, OS X, iOS and Android.

RDF Data Visualization in Web Browsers
Škrobánek, Kristián ; Polčák, Libor (referee) ; Burget, Radek (advisor)
This diploma thesis focuses on graph database data visualization, where data is stored in RDF format. Standard visualisation of RDF data in tables does not offer sufficiently usable user view. One of the goals of this work is to show RDF data in interactive graph, which is ideal form of viewing data considering lucidity and information value. The graph gives good view of not only the data itself but also relationships between the data. Another goal is to test ability of browsers to visualize large amounts of data.

Pecháček, Jan ; Trampota, Tomáš (advisor) ; Nečas, Vlastimil (referee)
Diploma thesis "Crime in Czech media: Image of crime in Mladá fronta Dnes and Právo newspapers" tries to map way and development of crime presentation in print media in the years of 1996 and 2006, using a content analysis. In the initial, theoretical part, there are the basic hypothesis explained, a description of crime from the sociological perspective and a description of crime history in former Czechoslovakia and in the Czech Republic from 80's of the 20th century until the present time. Further, there is an explanation of relevant chapters from media studies. The pracical part consists of a description of the research method and the portrayal of the research process. It continues with the content analysis itself and the evaluation of collected data. The data are presented in percentage rates and displayed in charts. Acquired rates have been compared with each other and have been searched for further relations amongst them. In the conclusion there is an overall summary of the research findings and their evaluation concerning the basic hypothesis.

Roman Jewellery and Its Depictions on the Monuments of Transalpine Provinces
Krejčiříková, Karolina ; Ondřejová, Iva (advisor) ; Musil, Jiří (referee)
1 Abstract (in English): This dissertation compares depictions of Roman jewellery and brooches on monuments with archaeological finds. These monuments are mainly of funerary character and they come primarily from Noricum, Pannonia, Germania, in lesser amount also from Gallia and some other areas. Jewellery is also related to local variants of provincial clothing. A typology of Roman jewellery is given and subsequently I try to find analogies to these jewellery types among the depictions. The typology mentioned here doesn't represent a complete list of jewellery types and variants. It focuses on the most common variants and variants which are relevant to the depictions of jewellery. By comparison of the archaeological finds to the depictions it is possible to obtain more accurate image of the appearance of clothing in different provincial areas and also of some specific traditions related to jewellery. The majority of depicted jewellery was identified with archeaological finds of jewellery, yet some cases stay unclear.

Portrayal of Native Americans in American Cinema in 1980s and 1990s
Vodňanský, Martin ; Sehnálková, Jana (advisor) ; Raková, Svatava (referee)
My work deals with the process of displaying of the North American Indian in the American cinematography. It describes the development, transformations and stereotypes in this process from the very beginning until the end of the nineties. In detail it deals with the Indian-thematized filmmaking in the 80s and 90s and it emphasizes, according to the author, the most important Indian movies. The focus point of the study lies in the analysis of two movies Powwow Highway and Smoke Signals, which were created by the Indian production in the late 80s and 90s. The aim of the work is, with the help of the analysis, to answer the question "Were the Indian actors and directors essential for more realistic portrayal of American Indians in American cinematography?" After analyzing the mentioned movies and presenting the arguments to this question, the conclusion is affirmative.

Oswaldová, Alena ; Vojtěchovská, Martina (advisor) ; Kruml, Milan (referee)
Diploma thesis "Woman in Comics: Comparison of Woman Visual Depictions and Her Function and Role in Comics" is internally divided into two parts: a theoretical and a research part. The theoretical part introduces a history of comics, from the beginning of this medium till present and focuses on woman comics characters and their typologies. The analytical part of the diploma work presents own research which deals with visual depiction of women in comics: examines their functions and roles in comics and bindings to the depictions. A part of the research section of this work is also comics codes analysis (genre, modality, visual codes, nonverbal and language codes), summary of quantitative researches of female characters in comics and basic information about analysed comics (author of the comics, category etc.). The researched sample is composed of three comics: Li'l Abner (author: Al Capp), Wonder Woman (author: Charles Moulton), Strangers in Paradise (author: Terry Moore). Outcome of this research is a survey of analysed female and male characters, a summary of the visual analysis and implying results.

Paper folding geometry
Hatschbachová, Jana ; Hromadová, Jana (advisor) ; Surynková, Petra (referee)
Paper folding is an underappreciated method with a number of interesting applications in real life. From Japanese traditional origami we moved to today's use in space research or medicine, all thanks to the application of mathematical principles on it. The work explains the basic rules of paper geometry and its difference from Euclidean geometry. The problems of doubling the cube or trisection of the angle, which cannot be solved in Euclidean geometry, can be solved quite easily by translating the paper. The thesis contains ideas for mathematics teachers from elementary school to high school on how to use paper folding directly in mathematics teaching. Among the ideas we can find a simple verification of the Pythagorean theorem and the construction of conic sections. Physical handling of paper helps to consolidate the topic, develops spatial imagination and dexterity.
