The presented thesis deals mainly with the informative value of the correspondence of the early modern nobleman and the warrior George Olivier Wallis with his family members at the end of the 17th and the first half of the 18th century. The attention of the author will be focus on the extent of the intensity of the relationship between the individual actors of written communication and the image of thought of George Olivier in the letters of close relatives. Last but not least, the thesis also deals with some of the anthropological categories of early modern culture, which appeared on the pages of the letters of Count Wallis and his family members.

The thesis contains an annotated edition of the letters of Jakub Deml (1878-1961) of his long- time friend and writer Jaroslav Durych (1886-1962). More than 150 letters and dozens of postcards document the relationship between the two writers in two periods (years 1906-1909 and 1916-1959). The first era of correspondence documents their translation cooperation and own production and views on contemporary literary and social conditions as well. The literary studies connected to the edition also describes two major differences between these creators. In the second period was the most intense correspondence in the twenties of the 20th century. The authors worked closely together and share in the correspondence also events of their personal lives. In 1931 My testimony about Otokar Březina caused a split among friends. Then the correspondence has never fully restored. The dispute was then moved to the pages of periodicals and books, about which one of the chapters of the study inform. The edition is accompanied by editorial comment, an inventory sheet, an index of names and explanations, in which the reader reads some of Durych's reactions and learn other relevant circumstances correspondence.

The diploma thesis The Prison Experience (1914-1918). Cyril Dušek's correspondence from prison deals with the correspondence which theoretically and metodically considers to be a historical source and a mean of communication between prisoners and their families. It focuses on the political prisoner's correspondence during the World War I. Correspondence from prison was the only way to connect prisoners with their friends and families, thus it is very significant in research. It provides an interesting insight into the everyday life in prison, further it reveals the various individual perception manners and development of human thinking in the tense situations. The main aim of the thesis is to analyze a prison correspondence of Cyril Dušek (1881-1924) who was a responsible redactor of the magazine Čas and a member of the resistance movement, further to present its importance in the context of the other preserved correspondence, the censorship aspects of correspondence from prison and also to desribe the everyday life of the political prisoners.

The thesis deals with head pose estimation in stereo data. The theoretical part provides the basis for understanding the geometry of the camera, its parameters and the method of calibration. The following describes the principles of stereo analysis and creating of disparity maps. In the research section, the methods used for head pose modelling are presented and an analysis of selected published articles is given. In the course of the master’s thesis, a system of two cameras for stereoscopic acquisition of motion of the head was designed and several measurements were carried out. The obtained data was prepared for creation of disparity maps and further processing. Based on the detection of facial features, in particular the inner and outer corners of the eyes and corners of the mouth, and their correspondences, a simple geometric model in shape of triangle was created to illustrate the inclination of the facial plane in space. By computing the angle of inclination in three axes, the current head pose is obtained. Motion is modelled by tracking detected points during video sequences.

In this thesis, we are concerning about the Twistor theory, field originally motivated purely physically, although these days fully developed into the many fields of mathem- atics and physics. With its complexion Twistor theory influences algebraic geometry, Clifford analysis as well as the String theory or Theory of quantum gravity. In the thesis we describe the origin of twistors projective or not. Mathematical background to the twistor theory is covered in the first chapter, where we study Clifford algebras and their representations. In the first part of the second chapter we are describing non-projective twistors as representation elements of certain Spin-group, and we find the connection with the standard definition of non-projective twistors as a kernel of the twistor operator. In the last part of the second chapter, we create a space of pro- jective twistors and show its certain properties, especially its correspondence with the complexified compactified Minkowski spacetime.

The diploma thesis is devoted to the analysis of inquiries sent to the language consulting centre of the Institute of the Czech Language of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, in which inquirers formulate the problems that arise during creation of administrative style texts. The primary source is the internal database of the language consulting centre from which the inquiries sent via e-mail in 2010 were chosen. Analysis seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of the given issue and it is concentrated into three main points, namely classification of inquiries by language levels, classification of inquiries by function of the text and analysis of attitudes of inquirers. The aim of the thesis is to find out what the most frequent problems of the administrative style texts solved by interviewers are, what the nature of these problems is and whether attitudes of inquirers show any trends.

This thesis analyzes the Czech translations of Karel Havlíček's German family correspondence. The translations are from the turn of the 20th century, from the 1940s, and from the present day. In the introduction, the present-day situation concerning the publication of Havlíček's correspondence is outlined. After that, the thesis focuses on the skopos theory as the main theoretical base for the analysis. Then the thesis turns to the life of Karel Havlíček with a focus on his student years. In the analytical section, the individual translators and the origination of the translations are introduced. Selected translations are then analyzed. The primary objective of the thesis is the evaluation of translation strategies and methods used by the translators of Karel Havlíček's family correspondence with regard to translation conventions and social and historical changes.

The thesis deals with the mutual correspondence (with its part from the years 16641667) of a Jesuit Bohuslav Balbín (16211688) and a Premonstratensian Johannes Alois Hackenschmidt (16261683), a canon of monastery of Teplá and a secretary of abbot Rajmund Wilfert (†1670). Preserved correspondence of that time consists of 41 Balbín's and 39 Hackenschmidt's letters. Hackenschmidt was sending information of the history of monasteries of Teplá and Chotěšov and transcripts and excerpts of charters found in archives of these monasteries; Balbín was informing Hackenschmidt about the past of the Lords of Guttenstein. The thesis brings information on the life of both correspondents, summarizes the content of their correspondence and comments on their relationship. Finally, eight Balbín's and six Hackenschmidt's letters, provided by a commentary, are edited in the final part of the work.

The thesis titled Neruda's love in novels is dealing with the so- called second life of Jan Neruda and his appearance in the biographical novels. The first part try to describe how (according his letters and poems) probably looked his emotional life and what character had his relations to Anna Holinová, Karolína Světlá, Terezie Marie Macháčková, Anna Tichá a Božena Vlachová. The second part examines how is their concept in the fictional world of four novels (Černý Honzík, Démantová spona, Blonďatá Kerolajn, Lásky Jana Nerudy). They were read and confronted with correspondence and biography of Jan Neruda and it was investigated, where and how authors draw their inspiration. The next question is how they represent main hero and the bond between them. Each novel has been analyzed and mutually they were compared. The author found that all writers in varying degrees familiar with Neruda leaves and leaves are also used in their books as a source of information and words in the dialogues. Parts of them they also publish. Démantová spona and Lásky Jana Nerudy are most based on the letters. Ivo Pelant and Jaromíra Kolárová also come from many other sources. View at the figure of Anna Holinová the most changed - she was unsympathetic in the Černý Honzík and worked best in the Lásky Jana Nerudy. Novels devote most...

The presented diploma thesis focuses on analyzing Spanish correspondence written by Jan Adolf of Schwarzenberg (1615-1683) between 1647 and 1683. The correspondence has yet to be thoroughly explored and is deposited in the State Regional Archive in Třeboň, the department of Český Krumlov - Rodinný archiv Schwarzenberků. Through a content analysis, the author tries to explore the relationship between Jan Adolf of Schwarzenberg and people of a different social status with whom the count had established a written communication; i.e. the author makes an effort to reconstruct the communication network of the baroque nobleman and examine the content of the letters. The author also suggests the typology of Spanish Schwarzenberg participants of the communication, who were divided into Habsburg family members, emperor's emissaries in Madrid, courtiers of Madrid, Spanish emissaries in Vienna, individuals working in the Spanish Netherlands, clerics and agents.
