Noninvasive spot analysis of miniatures with portable and laboratory instruments: a methodology for specific use in miniature painting research
Kočí, Eva ; Bezdička, Petr ; Hradil, David ; Garrappa, Silvia ; Hradilová, J. ; Pech, M.
The methodology brings a comprehensive procedure of non-invasive materials analysis of painted miniature artworks, while it is divided into two subsequent parts. In the first part, it describes the use of portable devices for spectroscopic analysis of miniatures, and in the second, it deals with the application of a new methodological procedure for phase/structural materials analysis based on X-ray powder diffraction. The methodology thus includes the following procedures: (i) determination of the elemental composition of the colour layer by the x-ray fluorescence analysis, (ii) identification of binders and other organic compounds using infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and finally (iii) phase/mineralogical and structural analysis to describe in more detail the pigments used and processes of their degradation. As part of this last step, the limits of Raman spectroscopy (RS) and the advantages of powder X-ray diffraction and micro-diffraction (XRPD and micro-XRPD) are described, which include greater gentleness to the analysed objects. A very complete and above all non-invasive methodological procedure for the analysis of miniatures is thus offered, which uses the complementarity of individual methods and which can be partly applied already in situ (directly in collection institutions) and partly at specialized workplaces.

Svoboda, David ; Suchý, Jiří (advisor) ; Harbichová, Ivana (referee)
Author: Bc. David Svoboda Title: Authentic experiences and recommendations from Olympic champions to build mental resilience and manage the psychological consequences of health problems Objectives: As there are not many surveys and publications dealing with psychological consequences caused by health problems in top- athletes' career, the main purpose of the research was to analyse authentic experience and recommendations, how the selected Olympic winners lived through these periods, what experience they have and what they would recommend to other athletes in this context from the viewpoint of their mental resistance. Furthermore, we will attempt to reveal possible consequences between the athletes' health and mental health. The following aim is to summarise this information into valid recommendations for other sportsmen. Methods: To obtain detailed information, a qualitative method through a structured interview with open questions (Hendl, 2005) was selected. The structured interview was conducted with nine Olympic winners and it contained 12 basic questions that were divided into three main sectors for clarity - a sector of athlete's mental resistance, a sector of athletes' health problems and their consequent reaction and the respondents' ideas and recommendations. The results were subjected to...

Evaluation of real estate prices in the real estate market
Musílková, Silvie ; Aigel, Petr (referee) ; Výskala, Miloslav (advisor)
The subject of the thesis is the evaluation of an investment in a housing unit. The theoretical part focuses on defining the basic terms related to real estate, the real estate market, and determining the types of prices and values. Among other things, terms related to the determination of the price of the construction work are also included here. In the practical part, the real estate market with apartments intended for sale is analyzed. For clear processing, a database is created with predetermined factors that influence the price of apartments. Individual apartments are divided according to their condition into apartments before reconstruction, apartments with partial reconstruction and apartments after reconstruction. For evaluation, an itemized budget is drawn up in the work to determine the costs incurred for the reconstruction. The final part is devoted to the evaluation of the investment in individual apartments.

Analysis of Chemistry tests used in the admission procedure at the Faculty of Science, Charles University
Šrámek, Martin ; Teplá, Milada (advisor) ; Teplý, Pavel (referee) ; Kričfaluši, Dana (referee)
This thesis focuses on the prediction of academic success and item analysis of chemistry knowledge tests used in the admission procedure at the Faculty of Science, Charles University between 2016 and 2019. The first part of the thesis focuses on the possibilities of academic success prediction (earning a bachelor's degree within 4 years) based on various factors: (i) success rate in the admission procedure, (ii) study index (modified average of marks), (iii) success rate in each part of admission procedure, (iv) passing exams in selected mandatory subjects for students of Chemistry study programme, eventually (v) based on obtained marks in selected subjects (as in (iv)). Furthermore, a prediction of entering Year 2 was also completed for three of these factors (i, iii and iv). The sample consists of 1,780 applicants for Chemistry study programmes. The results of the analysis proved a medium effect on success in the admission procedure on entering Year 2 (d = 0.52) and a large effect on academic success (d = 0.67). By additional comparison of predictive ability of knowledge tests (Maths, Biology, Chemistry) we proved that the Chemistry test has a greater prediction ability compared to the others - low effect on entering Year (d = 0.22), but medium on academic success (d = 0.40). Additionally, we...
