1 ABSTRACT This thesis describes the theatre reform at the turn of 19th and 20th century in its wider sociocultural concept. It focuses on the reaction of theatre to the modernistic crisis of European culture and society. Modernism is understood here according to its wider thematic and chronological definition. Modernism is based on the conception of machine civilization as it was defined by a Polish sociologist Jerzy Jedlicki. Jedlicki places the rise of modernistic cultural formation into the second half of 18th century which is when a steam engine was invented and it was a time of social turbulence and changes in human spirituality. Another theoretical frame of the thesis is created by utopia phenomenon as it was defined by Jerzy Szacki. Second half of 20th century is considered to be the end of modernism, inasmuch the utopic visions which had been placed on theatre faded away. The main topic of the thesis is Juliusz Osterwa's and Mieczyslaw Limanowski's theatre studio Reduta. It was founded in Warsaw in 1919 and it was to a great extend inspired by Moscow theatre studios of Stanislavsky and by Polish theatre sources (Stanislaw Wyspianski). By studying selected examples, the thesis studies Reduta as a realisation of modernistic utopia when theatre was supposed to carry a special mission in renaissance of...

The thesis research is devoted to activities of the Ukrainian Husbandry Academy, which existed in Podiebrady during 1922-1935 and developed into the first Ukrainian Polytechnic, where youth from the different Ukrainian territories, belonging to Poland, Hungary, Romania, USSR could get free education. This academy became "an island of Ukrainian culture" in a foreign land. The paper reviews the formation of this unique high school and its periodization, as well as its successor - the Ukrainian Technical Husbandry Institute of correspondence education (1932-1945), which appeared in exile due to the financial support of Czechoslovak government and donations of Ukrainians around the world. The last chapter is devoted to UHA broad publishing activities and attemp to list its educational works, which have been found in the several Czech archives as the parts of raw archival funds. Some aspects of the thesis concern the little-studied UHA contribution to the formation of economic, polytechnic and agricultural terminology in the modern Ukrainian language, as well as its librarianship together with the information about the location of UHA library in the Czech Republic.

The presentation describes the development of a new mountain bicycle pedal with a special magnetic safety locking mechanism by means of the finite element method (FEM). It starts with a description of the predecessor mountain bike pedal “Enduro” from magped GmbH and sets out the development objectives for the new pedal named “Enduro2”. The complete development activities like load determination and load assumptions, FEM analysis of the initial draft, subsequent optimization steps for strength improvement and mass reduction, bearing design and analysis, and prototype testing are described. The presentation ends with a chapter about creating computer generated images for marketing material of the pedal. The presentation is structured as follows: 1. Introduction: -Description of the predecessor mountain bike pedal “Enduro1” by magped GmbH -The magnetic safety locking mechanism -Overview of the magped GmbH product portfolio -Short magped GmbH company presentation -Development objectives and initial design draft of the successor pedal model “Enduro2” 2. Determination of the load cases for design & optimization: -Loads for bicycle pedals acc. to DIN ISO 4210 -Chosen load cases and qualification test program 3. Strength analysis and weight optimization of the pedal axis: -Pre-optimization steps -Optimized shape: Theoretical consideration of the pedal axis -Optimized design description -Obtained mass reduction -User tips for shape / notch stress optimization -Comparison with the axis of a competitor 4. Strength analysis and weight optimization of the pedal body: -Challenges in pedal body design -Computed load cases -Design result and mass savings 5. Bearing design and analysis: -Sliding bearing layout -Ball bearing layout: Bearing forces computation by FEM due to over-determined system -Description of the Creo Simulate FEM model -Bal bearing life span 6. Product testing: -Test program performed by the zedler-institute -Testing of the first test batch of pedals with hollow bored axis -Testing of the first test batch of pedals without hollow bored axis 7. Realized mass savings: -Magped Enduro1 and Enduro2 on the balance and comparison with the magped Gravel pedal 8. Creation of marketing material for the final product: -Still image creation -Photorealistic rendering containing FEM loading sequences / Der Vortrag beschreibt die Entwicklung eines neuen Mountainbike-Pedals mit einer speziellen magnetischen Sicherheitsverriegelung mittels der Finite-Elemente-Methode (FEM). Er beginnt mit einer Beschreibung des Vorgänger-Mountainbike-Pedals 'Enduro' der magped GmbH und legt die Entwicklungsziele für das neue Pedal mit dem Namen 'Enduro2' dar. Die gesamten Entwicklungsaktivitäten wie Lastermittlung und Lastannahmen, FEM-Analyse des ersten Entwurfs, nachfolgende Optimierungsschritte zur Festigkeitsverbesserung und Massenreduzierung, Lagerauslegung und -analyse sowie Prototypentests werden beschrieben.

This diploma thesis gives a proposal for a new Moravian wine center in the city center of Brno. Wine center is situated on the street Hlinka, where grapevines were planted in the Middle Ages. Demarcated land is narrow and elongated sloping towards to the south and connects the Yellow hills and the Brno Exhibition Centre. The main idea of this thesis is connect these two significant locations and offer the visitor a free passage along the entire length of the complex. Also main building Moravian Wine Centre reflects this fact and it expands the space of the street stalls and forms it into overgrown "arcade". The house is opened into this space - with glazed facade of the first two floors or with transmission into the rear wing. The main building consist of the cellar, where it is located wellness, winehouse, rentable wine boxes and tasting room connected with wine production. The rest of floors are designed for wine gallery, information center, reception, shop, restaurant, conference center and hotel. There is a café with roof terrace in the last floor. It offers a magnificent view into cityscape of Brno, Brno Exhibition Centre and the Yellow slope of the hill. There is designed a pond for relaxation in the courtyard. Nearby is situated Wine Institute building with facilities for making wine. In the second half of the land are located three blocks of luxury apartments in the middle of a vineyard. A leading construction is the most striking feature of the facade that reminds bougainvillea vines with vaulted arches wine cellars and attracts at first sight.
