The diploma thesis deals with the elaboration of project documentation for the new building Boarding houseand Café "Na Fügnerce", including the required assessments according to the assignment of the diploma thesis. These are two proposed blocks of buildings, a three-storey other basement and a two-storey non-basement, both of which are interconnected by a steel connecting footbridge and a roofed part with a single-skin vegetation roof. The proposal itself is an interesting team because its land is in the spa town of Podebrady, in the very heart of this town. The task was, not only to fit into the current gap formed after the demolition of family houses, but also the architectural design of similar buildings so that they fit into the surrounding buildings. In the surroundings, the architecture of functionalist buildings is combined with the historicism of residential or multifunctional buildings, as well as buildings of industrial and Art Nouveau elements of urban furniture. The proposed capacity of the buildings is 18 beds (the proposal was considered with the stay of people with limited mobility and orientation), the cafe has 44 seats and a meeting room is designed for 22 people (this space can be presented by a mobile partition). The premises are always designed with a separate hygienic background. The construction system of the buildings is designed as a longitudinal wall with a reinforcing staircase core, the load-bearing masonry is designed primarily from sand-lime perforated blocks. The ceiling structure is designed as a reinforced concrete monolithic.

The aim of this master thesis is to design a new building of a nursing home with private garden and car park in Kroměříž. It is a two-storey building, without basement covered with a flat green roof with solar and photovoltaic panels. The building is divided in two parts. The southern part includes residential units (10 single units and 4 double units). The ground floor of the northern part includes dining room, a kitchen, staff premises and utility room and first floor includes further staff premises. Both parts are connected by a hall with stairs and an elevator. The vertical load-bearing structures are designed from sand-lime blocks. The horizontal load-bearing structures, stairway and elevator shaft are designed from cast-in-place reinforced concrete. The envelope is insulated with mineral wool. The building will be heated and cooled with a heat pump. It will also have a mechanical ventilation system with heat and cold recovery and root zone greywater treatment plant. The thesis is carried out in Autodesk Revit 2020, Autodesk AutoCAD, Lumion and DEKSOFT software. All structures comply with the valid standards and regulations.

The main aim of the thesis is to design a Kindergarten. It is situated on the west outskirt of the Havlíčkův Brod on the plot no. 653/1 in the cadastral area Havlíčkův Brod. The plot is sloped to the south. The building has two above-ground floors. The ground floor is cross shaped, and we can consist of it on four parts. Three are classrooms with locker room, sanitary facilities for children and bed storeroom. The last part is technical facilities (storerooms, halls, utility room, control room and room for serving food). On the first floor there are offices for teachers, staff room, director’s room, and locker room for employees (cooks, cleaners). Food will be imported to kindergarten. My project is designed like a masonry wall system from sand-lime blocks Silka. Non-load bearing walls are from aerated concrete blocks Ytong. Floor structures are designed as pre-stressed concrete panels. Roof above the ground floor is flat intensive green roof and roof above the first ground floor is flat extensive green roof. The building is heated by two gas boilers in the utility room and and the whole is forcibly ventilated according to two air-conditioning units. I use Archicad 22 for designing my Kindergarten.

How do gender separation and the transition to wind pollination happen in temperate trees? What does the reproductive ecology in the crowns of temperate forest trees look like? These connected questions intrigued researchers before and since Darwin but it is only in the last years that a direct study of the latter question has been enabled. A research crane was used to study the flowering ecology of Fraxinus excelsior, Acer platanoides, Acer pseudoplatanus and Tilia cordata in Leipzig’s floodplain forest. These species originate from hermaphrodite insect pollinated plant families and exhibit different grades of gender separation and different stages between insect and wind pollination. As they are typical elements of temperate deciduous forests, an ecological comparison of their flowering ecology may shed new light on the evolution of gender separation and wind pollination in this habitat. Using the crane, gender distribution, flowering phenology in relation to microclimate, pollination levels (including pollen tubes in the styles) and fruit set were studied in ca. 200 trees over 2-4 years. Main results are a new appreciation of the sexual system of Fraxinus excelsior as dioecy, of Tilia cordata as andromonoecy and a detailed description of the intricacies of the heterodichogamous sexual system of Acer pseudoplatanus. Several flowering phenological patterns are described in Fraxinus excelsior and Acer platanoides in relation to microclimate in early spring. The role of small arthropods is underlined as gall mites may play a role in gender specialisation in Fraxinus excelsior, gall midges are related to maleness in T. cordata and thrips are probably the pollinators of Acer pseudoplatanus in the stand. Thrips pollination is suggested to be a possible stepping-stone between insect pollination and wind pollination, which may drive the transition in Acer pseudoplatanus and possibly in intensively flowering dominant species in other habitats. The study presents the complexity of the reproductive systems and the strong interdependencies among their elements.

Soil-cement is an integral part of pavement design, especially in areas that are aggregate deprived, such as Mississippi. Current designs are reliant on the relationship of unconfined compressive strength (UCS) to other mechanical properties. The other properties discussed in this dissertation are Modulus of Elasticity (E), Indirect Tensile Strength (St), and Modulus of Rupture (MOR). This dissertation includes a comprehensive review of past design methods and mechanical property relationships. While some mechanical property relationships were shown to be well understood (i.e. St to UCS), others were not as accurate, especially for the later life mechanical properties (i.e. MOR to UCS and E to UCS). This dissertation investigates the Plastic Mold (PM) Compaction (PM) Device and its ability to measure mechanical property relationships (UCS, E, St) for soil-cement as well as different materials, such as lime stabilized subgrade and Cold in Place Recycling (CIR) stabilized with cement. These mechanical property relationships were compared to soil-cement beam specimens, which are capable of being tested for the four previously mentioned mechanical properties from an individual specimen. Finally to have a better understanding of the later life mechanical properties and their relationships, PM and beam specimens were exposed to elevated temperatures to forecast out how these properties interrelate over time. These mechanical property values and relationship were then compared to Mississippi field cores ranging from 10 to 54 years old. These protocols, beam and elevated curing, were able to replicate what was seen for pavement cores that were extracted after decades of service. Over 1300 specimens were testing showing how these mechanical properties interacted from early ages and throughout a pavement’s life.

In the production of glass, the addition of more cullet to the batch of glass and the reduction of the thickness of glass are means to reduce energy consumption and raw material usage. This contributes towards improved energy efficiency targets of the European Union. This thesis investigated the energy consumed for the process of strengthening thinner glass as well the environmental implications of thinner and stronger compared to conventional glass across the life cycle of glass. The life cycle phases also included a recycling phase where 70% of the used glass was recycled with the remaining 30% being landfilled. The functional unit selected for this study was 1m2 of SLS glass, 4mm thick, with an average light transmittance of 91%. This corresponds to 10kg of clear float glass as per general rule. The findings of this thesis showed that one of the major contributing factors to high energy consumption in the melting phase of SLS glass is low efficiency of the furnace; this led to significant energy losses in the production of SLS glass. Recycling of flat glass, at a 70% rate, led to a 12% reduction in total global warming potential, a 10% reduction in the Acidification Potential, a 13% reduction in the Eutrophication Potential in marine environs, and a 7% reduction in the Eutrophication Potential in terrestrial habitats. The chemical and thermal strengthening process consumed 2.24 and 2.37 kWh/m2 respectively. The consequential impact of this is dependent on the source of the electricity for the strengthening processes. It was concluded that the energy used for the strengthening of the thinner glass is considerably less than the energy used in the production of a conventional glass that satisfies the same strength parameters.

To determine whether a credit limit for a corporate client should be changed, a financial institution writes a PM containingtext and financial data that then is assessed by a credit committee which decides whether to increase the limit or not. To make thisprocess more efficient, machine learning algorithms was used to classify the credit PMs instead of a committee. Since most machinelearning algorithms are black boxes, the LIME framework was used to find the most important features driving the classification. Theresults of this study show that credit memos can be classified with high accuracy and that LIME can be used to indicate which parts ofthe memo had the biggest impact. This implicates that the credit process could be improved by utilizing machine learning, whilemaintaining transparency. However, machine learning may disrupt learning processes within the organization. / För att bedöma om en kreditlimit för ett företag ska förändras eller inte skriver ett finansiellt institut ett PM innehållande text och finansiella data. Detta PM granskas sedan av en kreditkommitté som beslutar om limiten ska förändras eller inte. För att effektivisera denna process användes i denna rapport maskininlärning istället för en kreditkommitté för att besluta om limiten ska förändras. Eftersom de flesta maskininlärningsalgoritmer är svarta lådor så användes LIME-ramverket för att hitta de viktigaste drivarna bakom klassificeringen. Denna studies resultat visar att kredit-PM kan klassificeras med hög noggrannhet och att LIME kan visa vilken del av ett PM som hade störst påverkan vid klassificeringen. Implikationerna av detta är att kreditprocessen kan förbättras av maskininlärning, utan att förlora transparens. Maskininlärning kan emellertid störa lärandeprocesser i organisationen, varför införandet av dessa algoritmer bör vägas mot hur betydelsefullt det är att bevara och utveckla kunskap inom organisationen.
