The thesis deals with artworks, which are based on natural electromagnetic and eolian processes. It analyzes how these elementary phenomena define a topic and work of selected artists. Earth and wind as the driver? Creative tool? The score? The study concerns the historical, artistic and ecological contexts. It examines issues in the field of audio, visual and new media art.

A purpose of this study was to contribute to the subject of an available theoretical characteristic of the teachers personality. To complete such a study seemed to be good reason for a practical excersize. The task was to conduct an objective evaluation of four teachers and compare it with their own selfevaluation. To achieve that, teachers were first rated anonimously by their students and afterwords through an observation technique by the author of this study. As per the students rating, all four teachers passed as good teachers. However, personality of each teacher was found to be very specific, showing some unique characteristics. That led to a final conclusion, which differs substantially from the theoretical opinion on the same subject, found in the literature.

The graduation thesis focuses on prevention of socially-pathological phenomena at basic school. There is a general characterization of socially-pathological phenomena and their prevention in the theoretical part. We have done research in some basic schools. It examined process of realisation of minimal prevention programmes. The experiences of pupils and their awareness of these problems were also researching. Evaluation of prevention activities at schools is a very important part as well.

The term ``social pathological phenomena{\crqq} is defined as most serious disorders in behaviour of children and youth. Society finds these disorders negative as they bring many personal problems to the perpetrators in their families, at school as well as in broader social environment. These behaviour disorders particularly result in breaking social standards and penal law. The main goal of the present thesis was to ascertain awareness of senior pupils at primary schools in the region of Moravské Budějovice, Czechia, of possibilities to solve their problems with the occurrence of pathological phenomena, that is, whether they know whom to turn to if they encounter problems with social pathological phenomena. Sub-goal No 1 was to ascertain who informs senior primary school pupils of possibilities to solve their problems with the occurrence of pathological phenomena. Sub-goal No 2 was to describe social pathological phenomena with senior pupils at primary school. In order to get an overview of the problem, the author used quantitative research, namely the method of questioning, the questionnaire technique and the documents analysis method, then also the technique of secondary analysis of data from related documents kept at a body of social protection of children. Questionnaires were distributed among senior pupils in selected classes of primary schools, among their class teachers and pedagogic instructors in the selected primary schools in the region of Moravské Budějovice. In relation to the presented sub-goals of the thesis, the following two hypotheses were formulated. Supposed Hypothesis No 1 ``I assume that basic information is given mainly by class teachers, prevention methodists and pedagogic instructors{\crqq} was confirmed. The questionnaire results show that the group of pupils researched were mostly instructed by teachers. Supposed Hypothesis No 2 ``Social pathological phenomena are taken as a social problem which is difficult to solve in the aforementioned region{\crqq} was not confirmed. The research shows that teachers and instructors in the selected primary schools are very successful in dealing with the problems of social pathological phenomena. Therefore, we may conclude that the endeavour of schools in the field of occurrence of those phenomena and their prevention is on a very good level in the period tested.

Diploma thesis deals with ferroresonance phenomena which is present in power networks with saturable inductances and capacitors. A distinction drawn between resonance and ferroresonance will highlight the specific. Lack of knowledge means that it is readily considered responsible for a number of unexplained destructions or malfunctionings of equipment. In the work is a description of such behaviours means risk for electrical power systems. Finally, last part presentat produkt by ABB company intend for damping oscillations and summaries measures on it.

Graduation Theses is focused on the problem of prostitution. The theoretical part deals with theoretical concept of prostitution, the characteristics of the prostitution-behaviour participants, the reasons of the existence of prostitution, prostitution in the Czech Republic, criminal activity, psycho-pathological phenomena and social-pathological phenomena associated with prostitution, the impacts of prostitution-behaviour and the prevention of prostitution. The practical part is focused on the interpretation of the in-depth interview. In this part there was given more space to the practical experiences with work with prostitution practicing persons and the comparison of practical knowledge and theoretical resources.

Pronunciation instruction in the TEFL classroom has long been a neglected area regardless of its importance for the students. The data in the literature shows that teachers are generally not ready to provide pronunciation instruction for a variety of reasons: lack of qualification and training, theoretical and practical knowledge, time and motivation. The present thesis explores the current situation of pronunciation instruction at a private language school in the Czech Republic using of classroom observations and teacher and student surveys. The results confirm the initial hypothesis that pronunciation instruction including pronunciation error correction is nearly non-existent or occurs sporadically in the classroom. Only one out of four teachers (T1) included explicit pronunciation information into his teaching. The only pronunciation error correction technique observed with the four teachers was a recast which proved to be ineffective in most cases. Even though the teachers and students are generally aware of the importance of pronunciation in foreign language acquisition, their individual beliefs and attitudes towards pronunciation learning and teaching greatly differ. Key words: pronunciation, TEFL, explicit instruction, segmental features, suprasegmental features, teacher and student cognition

The main subject of this thesis is to design a method that is able to compare the outputs of a manually set up particle system with a video template of a simulated particle phenomenon. For the sake of simplicity, this work is focused exclusively to smoke effects and its comparisons. Specifically, descriptors depicting the color scheme of the examined input videos are proposed as well as the shape descriptors and time variability descriptors, which are based on the image segmentation method called Alpha Matting. This method is able to distinguish foreground objects from the background, while the foreground objects are described together with their transparency. Video template recordings captured specially for the purpose of this work are included. At the end, the resulting method is supported by an example of the gradually improving smoke effect simulation.

Manifestations of the tidal force have been known to humanity since an- tiquity. The oldest extant remarks on the origin of the tidal force are in the Natural History of Pliny the Elder. He also left us remarks on periodic changes of water-level in wells. This phenomenon does not necessarily have to be connected to the proximity of seas. As such, it is a subject of research since the end of 19th century. Exploring the mechanisms with which the tidal force affects the groundwater level requires combining the findings of geology and hydrogeology but also the knowledge of hydraulics and geomechanics of porous media and certain understanding of astronomy. This thesis contribu- tes to the knowledge of the mechanism of tidal oscillations in groundwater measured in a borehole near Teplice nad Metují in Police Basin. It utilizes models based on the knowledge of geological and hydrogeological structure of the surroundings of the borehole. It investigates the relation between the physical properties of porous media and the amplitude and phase of the tidal oscillations and presents solutions of the models.

In my diploma work on the topic {\clqq}Appearance of socially-pathological events of children in relation to unemployment in the family``. I concentrated on finding out connections between employment of parents, appearance of socially-pathological events of their children and their pocket money. The basic complex was formed by respondents at the age of 15 - 20 years who live in the region of Klatovy, on a scale of 200 respondents. The aim of my theoratical part was a summary of information about the family, its housekeeping, about socially - pathological events, unemplayment and spending leisure time of children. In my practical part I tried to find connections between the appearance of socially - pathological events, unemployment of parents and the pocket money of children. The importance of my diploma work is especially in the possibilities to inform parents, teachers, educators and the public, which are interested in bringing up, about the proven results from the research work. These results showed that the socially - pathological events, have the connection with unemployment of parents, because their appearance was 30 per cent bigger in the family with unemployed parents. Employed parents more often give their children pocket money that leads to increased smoking. The amount of the pocket money doesn{\crq}t influence the appearance of socially - pathological events because the important statistical difference in the amount of the pocket money in the group of respondents with the pocket money and the appearance of socially - pathological events in the general file wasn{\crq}t proved. Respondents who have experience with the unemployment of their parents are less satisfied in the family. Employed parents spend more leisure time with their children in the active way. These established facts can influence parents in their unbringing of their children. Knowledge and appreciation of connections of above - mentioned factors can lead up educators to the prevention of socially pathological events of children.
