THE ABSTRACT This diploma thesis is taking a theoretical insight into a discipline based on philosophical, psychological, sociological and pedagogical point of view. A legal point of view is included as far as the school behavior code goes. The author is researching inner and outer factors which are having an impact on the discipline. Many aspects are taking a role in this including teacher's authority or the environmental condition of the whole class. The thesis is then searching an answers for such a questions as 'what would the most common discipline problem be" that we would be able to come into a contact with at our elementary schools. This mainly focuses on smaller elementary school children. Thesis describes many individual approaches and techniques frequently used to deal with specific discipline problematics or that could potentially be used to prevent faulty behavior. The author separates different approaches regarding small scale schools with just a few students in classes. This is supported by author's own experience gained in such a school. The thesis also gives an account of how the school cooperates with a family. The whole separate chapter belongs to acting classes and how it helps with learning when used properly. There has been a long-term observation on how the children are behaving...

TITLE: The influence of the order of information in word problems on their difficulty for lower secondary pupils AUTHOR: Bc. David Hennlich DEPARTMENT: Department of Mathematics and Mathematical Education SUPERVISOR: doc. RNDr. Naďa Vondrová, Ph.D. ABSTRACT: Research has shown an influence of various parameters of word problems on their success rate and solving strategies that are used by pupils. In case of the order of information variable, most of research has focused on word problems, in which the order of information corresponds, or not, with the order of events described in the problem statement. This thesis differs from them by aiming at word problems without the sequence of this kind in their situational models. Two sets of problems solved by ninth grade pupils of four secondary schools situated in Prague were analysed. In order to recognize the influence of the analysed parameter, the combination of qualitative and quantitative approach was used. Item Response Theory (IRT) was used to analyse the parameter from the quantitative point of view. The written solutions of pupils were also analysed in a qualitative way and later amended by additional interviews with pupils. No influence of the parameter was found on either success rate or solving strategies in any of the analysed word problems. There was...

Title: Stochastic evolution equations with multiplicative fractional noise Author: Jana Šnupárková Departement: Department of Probability and Mathematical Statistics Supervisor: prof. RNDr. Bohdan Maslowski, DrSc. Supervisor's e-mail address: maslow@karlin.mff.cuni.cz Abstract: The fractional Gaussian noise is a formal derivative of a fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter H ∈ (0, 1). An explicit formula for a solution to stochastic differential equations with a multiplicative fractional Gaussian noise in a separable Hilbert space is given. The large time behaviour of the solution is studied. In addition, equations of this type with a nonlinear perturbation of a drift part are investigated in the case H > 1/2. Keywords: Fractional Brownian Motion, Stochastic Differential Equations in Hilbert Space, Explicit Formula for Solution

This thesis deals with numerical solution of an integral equation of the second kind with special singular kernel function related to induction heating. The numerical solution is based on collocation and Nyström methods. The idea of collocation methods is to choose a finite-dimensional space of candidate solutions (usually polynomials up to a certain degree). The Nyström methods are based on approximation of the integral in equation by numerical integration rule. This thesis describes and gives error estimates of both methods. Error estimates are compared to the exact solutions in simple cases.

Title: Mathematical analysis and computer simulations of deformation of nonlinear elastic bodies in the small strain range. Author: Vojtěch Kulvait Department: Mathematical Institute of Charles University Supervisor: prof. RNDr. Josef Málek, CSc., Dsc. Abstract: Implicit constitutive theory provides a suitable theoretical framework for elastic materials that exhibit a nonlinear relationship between strain and stress in the range of small strains. We study a class of power-law models, where the nonlinear dependence of strain on the deviatoric part of the stress tensor and its trace are mutually separated. We show that these power-law models are capable to describe the response of a wide variety of beta phase titanium alloys in the small strain range and that these models fit available experimental data exceedingly well. We also develop a mathematical theory regarding the well-posedness of boundary value problems for the considered class of power-law solids. In particular, we prove the existence of weak solutions for power law exponents in the range (1, ∞). Finally, we perform computer simulations for these problems in the anti-plane stress setting focusing on the V-notch type geometry. We study the dependence of solutions on the values of power law exponents and on the V-notch opening angle. We achieve...

Asbestos, a fibrous mineral with excellent chemical and physical properties and a very wide application, especially in civil engineering, is now known to be a proven human carcinogen and therefore its utilization was forbidden. It causes asbestosis, pleural hyalinosis, acute exudative pleuritis, lung cancer and pleural mesothelioma. Recently, many reconstructions of school facilities took place and are still taking place across the Czech Republic. This causes the drilling and cutting of asbestos and thus the release of fibres into the atmosphere and the interiors of buildings. Many reconstructions were also executed in South Bohemia, where panels containing asbestos were handled. This was a cause of concern not only for teachers, the employees of the schools affected, but also for the parents of children attending schools containing asbestos materials. A whole number of bodies in mutual cooperation participated in the disposal of asbestos in schools in the Czech Republic. It is thus very necessary and useful for public health officers and the above-listed entities involved, to have information about how their approach to the given problem and the whole solution of the problem was assessed by the teachers. The thesis consists of two parts: theoretical and investigative. The work deals with the evaluation of the solution to the problem of asbestos by authorities involved in the school from the teachers' point of view. The theoretical part deals with selected chemical pollutants in the work environment. It also focuses on the pollutant asbestos in general. Lastly, another chapter is devoted to the issue of the assessment of health risks, which is very closely related to pollutants in the work environment. The practical part contains the results that emerged from interviews with teachers. In the discussion, the results are compared with online articles and specialist literature. The necessary data for the research part of the thesis was obtained through qualitative research interviews with educators from the elementary school Máj I. Through the evaluation of the interviews, I answered the research questions and identified several hypotheses that could be tested in future quantitative research. In this thesis, I aimed to identify the level of cooperation of stakeholders in addressing the issue of asbestos disposal in the school concerned in the South Bohemian Region. Research suggests that the solution to the problem of asbestos in the school was judged largely positively by the teachers. They particularly praised the approach of the Municipality of České Budějovice. They criticized the errors made by the OHL ŽS and Mapoz Zliv companies regarding the reconstruction and also the company Sita cz, which carried out the sanitation works, after whose intervention the teachers lacked many things. Educators confused the competences of the regional health authorities with the competences of the Health Institute, and therefore the general public should get acquainted with the competences of these bodies in order to facilitate the communication between the different entities and the public, not only in the asbestos issue.

Diploma thesis "Proposals of new possibilities of use of selected brownfield locality" is devided in two parts. In literature search, there are defined brownfield term and other related terms. Then there is the categorization of brownfileds, problems accompanying brownfileds, anchoring in urban planning documents, solutions of brownfields and funding possibilities. The practical part describes the selected area of military brownfiled. It analyzes its historical use, current condition and causes of creation of brownfield. There are designed variants of the new usage possibilities, funding possibilities of these variants and selection of the most suitable variant. It also includes a comparison with other realized designs.

This diploma thesis is about the revitalisation of a degraded, abandoned buildings which are called brownfields. The main objective is a comparison between different approaches to the solution of these areas in the Czech Republic and France. There are two case studies. One of them is a regeneration of a former textile factory in the Nord Pas de Calais region and the second one is a current textile factory in Strakonice. The thesis also contains propositions about new usage. France has more developed ideas because it has more experiences in brownfield transformations, since the seventieth years of the twentieth century. Effective instruments are public organization of land (EPF). The collaboration of the public and private sector is also useful, the completion of the legislative tools of strategic planning and indirect tax tools. The most used instrument for the regeneration of brownfields in France is ZAC. The function of this instrument is based on the preparation of the land for a new development. The Czech Republic is being concerned about this topic since the year 1989 and more intensively in 2000. A lot of brownfields are sorted out, but many of them are still there. The biggest barrier of the revitalisation of brownfields are unresolved property rights. There is a financial aid from the fonds of the Europe Union. The Czech Republic also needs a big support from the public sector.

The main aim of the thesis was a comparison buying atmosphere chosen two retail units. The first part of thesis was based on the studied literature, there has been described trade, wholesale, retail and elements of the buying atmosphere. In the second part of thesis were described chosen retail units. The second step was to analyze the data, which were obtained by two methods. The first method was structured interviews with owners of retail units. The second method was a survey that was conducted with customers of the retail units, either face to face or online questioning. Based on these data were compared retail units and created proposals to improve the atmosphere of buying retail units.

The main objective of my diploma thesis was to conduct an analysis of the shopping atmosphere at a selected retail unit from the perspective of Czech consumers, and the development of recommendations for its possible improvement. The main method selected for the analysis and for the actual investigation consisted of a questionnaire survey among customers. The retail unit selected for the research was Electro World České Budějovice. An analysis of the shopping atmosphere of ElectroWorld České Budějovice shows that most customers perceive it positively. This can be confirmed and identified by the fact that customers return to this store and make repeated purchases.
