Films and series with criminal themes are very popular among audience. They also have quite a long tradition in the Czech (Czechoslovak) cinematography. Specifically in the 60's a lot of quality films with detective plots were made and they are appreciated among the audience until today. They are also repeated in television frequently. These films demonstrate both crime and further investigation, focused on the police activity. This representation is frequently portrayed as a reality and the audience tend to view it as such. Therefore, it is interesting to observe if this representation corresponds to real forensic practice. This diploma thesis deals with the given matter. It analyses five Czechoslovak crime films from the 60's and its goal is to determine if the forensic methods correspond to then reality. It also focuses on the figure of the investigator as the representative of the law and as the main character. The first part of the thesis is comprised of the theoretical background. It describes the principles of film narrathology and mainly the principles of forensic methodology and practice. The second part of the thesis is practical. The theoretical background is applied here to analyse each of the chosen films. The summary responds to the research question and summarizes results of the analysis.

A maior parte das concessionárias de energia elétrica brasileiras normalmente não trata as falhas em transformadores de distribuição como um problema relevante sob ponto de vista financeiro, uma vez que qualquer ação preventiva para minimizar o problema dentro da realidade atual pode ser mais onerosa. Portanto, políticas adequadas para investigar as falhas de transformadores de distribuição são geralmente relegadas a segundo plano ou às vezes nem existem. Neste contexto, a informação existente em falhas de transformadores pode não conter dados importantes. No entanto, novas leis que afetam as concessionárias de energia estão mais severas e demandam por maior eficiência por parte delas. Neste novo cenário, uma metodologia forense, criada há muitos anos por várias concessionárias para analisar falhas em transformadores de distribuição, foi recentemente resgatada com a análise de 3159 equipamentos. Essa metodologia é conhecida como Metodologia Forense para Transformadores de Distribuição (MFTD) e será utilizada como ferramenta de diagnóstico para estudos de casos. Novos testes e ensaios como medição de resistência de isolamento, índice de absorção dielétrica e polarização, análise físico-química entre outros, serão agregados à metodologia forense para aprimorá-la. Além disso, os para-raios, sendo parte do sistema de proteção de transformadores de distribuição, também são estudados com o objetivo de verificar possíveis falhas de projeto e desafios a serem superados. / Most Brazilian utility companies normally do not treat failures in distribution transformers as a relevant problem in large financial point of view, since any preventive action to minimize them within the current reality can be more costly. Thus, proper policies for investigating faults in distribution transformers are usually disregarded by the power utilities and sometimes policies may not even exist. In this context, existing information on faulty distribution transformers may not contain important data. However, new laws affecting power distribution companies are becoming more severe and there are demands for greater efficiency. In this new scenario, a forensic methodology to analyse faults in distribution transformers, created some years ago by many utilities, has recently been resurrected with the analysis of 3,159 distribution transformers. This methodology is known as Forensic Analysis Applied to Distribution Transformers (FAADT). New tests and trials as measuring insulation resistance, polarization index and dielectric absorption, physical and chemical analysis among others, will be added to the forensic methodology to improve it. Moreover, the surge-arresters, being part of the system of protection of distribution transformers, are also studied in order to evaluate possible design flaws and challenges to overcome.

This thesis explores the evolving landscape of digital forensics in the context of quantum computing advancements, which challenge the foundational integrity of digital evidence. The focus is on the globally recognized digital forensic guidelines, NIST SP 800-86 and ISO/IEC 27037:2012, and their capacity to safeguard evidence against the unique capabilities of quantum systems. This thesis identifies vulnerabilities within existing forensic models through a comprehensive document analysis and expert interviews and proposes strategic modifications to enhance their robustness. Key findings suggest that traditional digital forensic methodologies, while robust under current technological standards, must address quantum data’s multi-state, entanglement, and no-cloning properties, which can fundamentally alter digital evidence. The thesis advocates for a paradigm shift in forensic processes to incorporate quantum-resistant techniques that ensure the integrity and admissibility of evidence. Additionally, it highlights the necessity for ongoing education and collaborative research to effectively adapt digital forensics to this new technological era. This research contributes to the theoretical framework and practical applications of digital forensics, aiming to future-proof forensic practices against the disruptive nature of quantum computing.
