Database of vocal samples of human emotions
Hlavica, Michal ; Přinosil, Jiří (referee) ; Atassi, Hicham (advisor)
In this bachelor work is analyzed theory of emotions, how emotions arise and how they are physiologically expressed by human body. How these physiological expressions and emotions reflect into the human speech. Then is described process of creating of speech and basic prosodic and acoustic parameters relevant for research. Theory of creating of databases is described here as well, which is quality ground for database itself. The database is also part of this thesis and they are records cut from television programmes and serials. The next very important issue is description of software tool for subjective evaluating of databases, which was created as a part of this thesis. It was created in C++ language with help by compiler Builder C++ . Also a short analysis of exemplary records for every emotion is done here. This analysis deals with basic frequency, intensity and first three formants.

Assessment of speech signal quality
Tuleja, Peter ; Balík, Miroslav (referee) ; Míča, Ivan (advisor)
This paper discusses methods for evaluating the quality of the speech signal. Briefly describe the subjective methods for determining the quality of the speech signal. From subjective methods the pair-wise comparison and MOS score are presented. Objective intrusive methods are described in more detailed way - namely methods of the segmental SNR evaluated in time domain, method of the segmental SNR evaluated in the frequency domain and frame normalization method which uses LSE based estimator. At the end of this paper is described an experiment, in which the aforementioned methods are compared and than statistically evaluated.

Stock Market Manipulation
Průša, Ivo ; Dědič, Jan (advisor) ; Musílek, Petr (referee) ; Kotásek, Josef (referee)
The disertation thesis deals with the market abuse through the market manipulation. Its focuses, in particular, to the merits of the regulation itself and specific regimentation. Manipulation is one of two pillars which creates the subject of the area of law dealing with market abuse. The thesis is divided into five basic parts, which are further divided into seventeen chapters. We proceed from the general definition of basic concepts, categories, and economic context to clarify a particular concept of manipulation and its operation in practice to particular subject matters of manipulation. The conclusion is then added to the list of negative description and liability arising from manipulation. The first five chapters, which are contained in Part A deals with general introductory remarks (Chapter 1), including notes dealing with the concept and methodology of the thesis, its objectives and determination of verified hypotheses (Chapters 3, 4 and 5). Chapter 2 of this part is partially devoted to the issue of terminology used in the thesis. We note here the fact the existing regulation limiting ratio of the concepts and conclude that this thesis will use principally general terms, i.e the market (instead of the concept of capital or regulated market) and instrument (instead of the term financial...

Subjectively perceived health and physical activity of the elderly compared to a fitness walk test.
Šmat, Václav ; Prajerová, Květa (advisor) ; Šteffl, Michal (referee)
Title: Subjectively perceived health fitness and physical activity of the elderly compared to a fitness walk test Objectives: The aim of this paper is to compare the subjectively perceived health (fitness) and physical activity with an actual fitness walk test done by students of the University of the Third Age, using the LTEQ and SF-12 questionnaires. Methods: There were 64 seniors who participated in this study (age 67,36 ± 3,55, height 1,67 ± 7,04 cm, weight 69,80 ± 9,9 kg). All of them students of the University of the Third Age, Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, Charles University. Two types of Questionnaires were used: The Leisure Time Exercise Questionnaire and A 12-Item Short-Form Health Survey, both of which are typically used to study the population of the elderly. A 2 km fitness walk test by Stejskal was used to gather data about aerobic fitness. The test took place at the athletic oval on the grounds of Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, Charles University. Polar S610i sporttester was used to measure heart rate. Statistic was used to calculate all SPSS 21. Results: The results proved a significant correspondence between the subjectively perceived amount of leisure physical activity and the aerobic fitness measured by the 2km fitness walk test - specifically regarding...

Objective and Subjective Cognition of Beauty in the Writings of St. Thomas Aquinas.
FLEISCHMANN, Dan
This thesis deals with the objective and subjective cognition of beauty by a scholastic philosopher Thomas Aquinas. The initial chapters provide historical sources and a source of St. Thomas´s beauty, because beauty was not the main topic of theology and philosophy in the Middle Ages. From the definition of beauty, we know that beauty belongs to the cognitive power, thus next chapters present the activity of the senses and reason, by which we recognize beauty. (Pulchrum autem respicit vim cognoscitivam). This cognitive power results in the objective characteristics of beauty, ie.: a) integrity; b) proportion; c) clarity.) The penultimate chapter justifies the importance of knowledge of objective and subjective beauty, from which it follows in us enjoyment (delectatio et amor). If there is a reason to evaluate the knowledge and principles relating to the beauty, there is a necessary overlap present knowledge such as science. The final chapter addresses the interesting question of modern science - aesthetics: "Whether beauty, as written by Thomas Aquinas, is a specific distinct transcendental or only implicit transcendental initiated by the philosophers of the 20th century?" The thesis tries to show the importance of studying medieval philosophy in shaping topics such as beauty and art.
