Fördős, András ; Vajsar, Pavel (referee) ; Hošek, Jiří (advisor)
Project is focused to verify the credibility of the results of statistical simulation in the surround of OPNET Modeler. At the beginning of the project is a short introduction to the problematic of OPNET Modeler. It describes the basic concepts of mathematical statistics, data types and some basic statistical charakteristics. In the project was created model of LAN network, were set up three different types of runs and several monitored statistics. In this project are listed setting of the model, startup parameters of some runtime simulations, prefered variety of statistics and the possibility to display final results of statistics. Description of options displaying final results of statistics is supplemented by model characteristics. Created model was further extended and modified. Have been added network services, has changed the number of nodes and the duration of the simulation. Results of analysis of the original scenario are compared to the results of a modified scenario, which are scheduled. At the end of this project are obtained result, recommended way and form of displaying basic statistics and advice on the number of simulation runs needed to obtain reliable results.

Krátká, Tereza ; Holub, Jiří (advisor) ; Sánchez Fernández, Juan Antonio (referee)
The aim of the work is to sum up main function of the metafictional narrative strategies in two Cervantes' Exemplary Novels - The dialogue between Scipio and Berganze and The deceitful marriage. At the beginning, the text is focused on composition of both novels, mainly on their narrative structure. In the next part, the work is concentrated on analysis of reminiscences relevant - as for novels' genre, language and style - for interpretation of metaficitonal narrative with respect to the period of baroque upcoming. Then, the narrative structure is compared with Cervantes' novel Don Quijote which is based on the same type of narrative strategy. The author comes to the conclusion that the primary function of the metafictional narrative strategies is a possibility to interpret the question of the truth in relation to the baroque reality of the 17th century in Spain. The main importance of the work is presentation of a detailed narrative scheme of two novels, up to now absent in majority of theoretical works aimed at Exemplary Novels composition. Key words: Miguel de Cervantes, Dialogue between Scipio and Berganze, El coloquio de los perros, metafiction, intertextuality, credibility, narrative strategies.

Photojournalism after Digitalization: State of Photojournalism in the Czech Republic
Lábová, Sandra ; Silverio, Robert (advisor) ; Nilsson, Maria Elisabeth (referee) ; Allan, Stuart (referee)
This dissertation undertakes ethnographic research to examine photojournalism in the Czech Republic comprehensively. It builds on the importance of news images in the media representation of reality while considering the authenticity of photography. It stresses photojournalists' role in gatekeeping decision-making and discusses the challenges they face in the evolving media market and developing technology. The research employs qualitative and quantitative methods to examine four dimensions of current photojournalist practice in the Czech Republic: professional identity, production process, ethical standards, and working conditions in light of rising competition. Key findings show passionate and dedicated professionals facing challenges in digitalization and limited resources. Respondents prioritize authenticity and autonomy but highlight the concerns about the underrepresentation of photo departments and the impact of competition in photojournalism. Nevertheless, they express high job satisfaction, viewing their profession as prestigious and rewarding. This research sets a foundation for future longitudinal studies of Czech photojournalists by providing arguments for several concerns, such as gender disparity, technological advancements, and audience perception of visual narratives.

Witness and his testimony in civil proceedings Abstract The submitted diploma thesis deals with the testimony of a witness in civil proceedings. This is undoubtedly the most demanding means of proof.

The diploma thesis aims to comprehensively describe the course of the carrying out witness testimony from the moment the witness enters the courtroom to the assessment of the witness's credibility within the reasoning of the court decision.

The third and fourth chapters of the thesis describe the procedure of carrying out of giving a testimony. At first, it is necessary to ensure the witness's presence by the...
