The following documentation provides a brief overview of the collections at TUD Technical University of Technology. The individual collections are arranged according to their institutional affiliation. Collections that can be viewed, have been processed and are being supervised by a Collection Officer are listed in detail.

The extensive natural science and engineering collections as well as the important art collection of TU Dresden document almost 200 years of history of knowledge transfer and generation and are important testimonies to our university identity. Exhibits from the early 19th century connect the history of scientific knowledge with the research of our present and even influence future technologies when object-based evidence forms the basis for innovative research approaches.:5 Preface 7 KIRSTEN VINCENZ The collections of TUD Dresden University of Technology – tradition and new perspectives 17 KLAUS MAUERSBERGER The historical development of the collections at the TUD Dresden University of Technology 23 LUTZ GRAEFE The Collection of Astronomic-Geodetic Instruments 35 FRANK MÜLLER The Botanical Collection 47 MARINA LIENERT · CARIS-PETRA HEIDEL The Medical-Historical Collection 57 HORST HARTMANN · KIRSTEN VINCENZ The Dye Collection 69 DANIEL LORDICK The Collection of Mathematical Models 81 MANFRED F.

How can we hope to understand a world that has become increasingly digital and global and its material organization has become more and more complex? What challenges arise from rapid technological developments? How can we explain our present, while also reflecting on the future? And what is the role of arts, sciences and engineering in global processes of transformation? As a university, TUD Dresden University of Technology aims to provide answers by discussing, defining, investigating, and researching such issues.

The well-known observatory tower of the Beyer Building, the landmark of the TUD Dresden University of Technology, houses a selection of the most notable objects belonging to the collection of historical instruments from the fields of astronomy and geodesy. Several display cabinets present to the interested visitor such instruments as theodolites, levels, a telescopic alidade, sextants, chronometers and meridian circles.

The affinity between art and medicine is abundantly clear: The classical concept of medicine even makes reference to the art of healing: the ars medicinae. Apart from the terminological origin and the proximity of the medical profession to “art” − equally true, incidentally, for technicians and engineers − it is striking that, even today, many physicians are lovers of art, literature and music. This enthusiasm, possibly felt to a larger extent than by other professions, may explain why physicians often take up brush and pen, or play an instrument − and not merely as amateurs. Perhaps it was the closeness to the human being that created a certain kinship between physicians and artists when it came to devoting themselves with sensitivity, intuition and imagination to the art of living and the state of our world at the interface of art and medicine. Since the Early Modern Period, anatomy has often been the mediator, playing an attractive role in the theaters of science and art.

This thesis consists of description of chosen methods of permanent macroscopic zoological preparations. I verified successfully all the methods in practice and in case of methodological difficulties I optimized them for use in the school environment. In this work I answered the questions that could come up throughout the preparation process, for example: how to preserve the animal correctly; where to acquire the animal legally; what is the best way to maintain the animal's natural colour; what materials to use for the preparation and so on. According to current approaches I created not only a text based version of the manual of all verified preparation methods, but also an online version in form of a web site. To clarify the methods I included video sequences, photographs and schemes. With this e- learning course a teacher will be able to extend the school collection with his own preparations and also will be able to recognize what significant characteristics to point out. As a part of my work I have done a questionnaire focused on using various types of equipment in biology lectures. I have asked primary school teachers and high school teachers from all regions in the Czech Republic. This questionnaire was sent online and 322 out of 1636 people responded. The answers tell us that teachers...

The purpose of the present study is to develop and explain a teaching aid for Spanish word recognition, to be presented as advance preparation for large-exposure reading.

Protection of population - a teaching aid for seniors Thesis topic is "Protection of population - teaching aid for the seniors." The theoretical part of the education system of seniors how they can develop their personality even at an advanced age and thus come to fulfilment. The work is also described as insight into the history of protection population and its current state. It is important to realize continuous development of this area, particularly in the approach to the risks and dangers that surround us, their analysis and subsequent action. A prerequisite for the efficient functioning of the security system are appropriate legislative measures. The important part is undoubtedly a preventive educational activity in the area of civil protection and fire protection focused on citizens. The work classifies emergencies and carries out the tasks of civil protection. The theoretical part also describes cooperation at the international level. The aim was to create educational material for the elderly, aimed at protecting the population and treated on the basis of available information and literature. In the result, therefore, to raise awareness among the elderly in the area, this may be in danger of their lives, health or property. To accomplish this aim it was necessary to choose basic and essential information from available sources. It was mainly about the basic concepts of civil protection, classification of incidents and how they behave in given situations. It was also necessary to create a questionnaire including questions on precisely the subject of protection of the population in relation to the citizens themselves - seniors. The questionnaire was administered in elderly patients visiting senior's club Šance in Týn nad Vltavou and was subsequently verified normality knowledge. Following the improvement of information for seniors from the aforementioned club was created block of three lectures where senior citizens have clarified the issue of protection of the population, especially in relation to their self-protection. Chapter "Results" includes an evaluation questionnaire. Presented are the issues and their graphic evaluation. Using mathematical and descriptive statistics were verified whether knowledge of seniors in the area of civil protection division has knowledge of near normal distribution. The hypothesis was verified and accepted. The result of this work is an educational tool that is further specified in the chapter "Results". The complete version of teaching aids is the appendixes, which among other things are also presentations that were used to lecture at the senior's club Šance. The output material will serve as an informational tool for seniors visiting senior's club Šance. Another possibility is the use of teaching materials electronically, where the material will be available on the website of the town Týn nad Vltavou and provide the necessary information not only seniors, but also to other citizens, who express concern over the issue of choice. Interest in electronic form of educational toys showed a primary school Hlinecká in Týn nad Vltavou.
