The aim of this diploma thesis was to design and subsequently produce a functional prototype of a musical instrument inspired by the cello or the fretless bass guitar at a scale of 1:1, so that it can be presented in terms of both processing and production, but also sound presentation. The thesis consists of two main segments, the theoretical part focuses mainly on the explanation of the reason for the creation of this concept, the familiarization with the tools on which the prototypes are based, the information about the instruments from the historical pieces to the contemporary ones. The component part is also an explanation of physical concepts and a following description of used materials, components and their importance in this work. The second, practical part deals mainly with the processes necessary for the physical creation of the tool, starting with the initial ideas, presentation of sketches, technical development, production, finalization, but also subsequent measurement and analysis of the prototype.

The doctoral thesis is concerned with the services sector and the area of mass production. Particularly, the optimization of the product portfolio of the travel agency and the optimization of production rounds of ammunition. The theoretical part deals with the current overview of discussed topic. Further, the terminology and methods of the decision-making process are defined to support decision making. The theoretical basis of research focused on the choice of appropriate input variables in the area of services, and on the choice of a particular material option in the production area and appropriate equipment for the production. The theoretical part forms the basis for the practical part of the thesis. For the doctoral thesis was chosen an enterprise operating in the defined sector. Product portfolio for the services sector is optimised using Fuzzy logic and Fuzzy sets so that the enterprise can maintain its competitiveness in todays highly ambitious market. Product portfolio for manufacture is optimised for achieving desired properties of the product. The main aim of the thesis is to propose a new methodological approach for the management of selected business processes in their nonstationary time course. The aim of the practical implementation is to verify the functionality of the proposed methodological approach, both in the area of services and in the field of mass production.

The main topic of diploma thesis is foundation of Heavy equipment in industrial facility and the selecting of the appropriate method foundation with respect to the boundary condition. The first part contains the theoretical basis of the chosen special foundation technology. In the second part, there is the design of the foundation itself. To solve the design was used special numerical softwares and also there was some calculation without using it. The necessary design documentation was also created.

This thesis deals with the design of a foam sitting element. In order to create a successful design, it was necessary to study the theory and then proceed to the design process proper. The first part of the thesis analyses the history and typology of upholstered seating furniture, ergonomics, anthropometry and proper dimensions. A considerable part is dedicated to polyurethane foams and their processing. The second part of this thesis describes the product designing process, from research and first ideas through sketches, models creation, design modifications to prototyping at 1:1 scale.

This master’s thesis deals with the analysis of stress, fatigue and the assessment of frost effects in program ALIZE as it is prescribed in norm NFP 98-086 and comparing with the regulation TP 170 Designing roadways of roads and program LayEps.

Main topic of this thesis is creation of platform for testing stabilization and control algorithms for UAV. For chosen suitable model plane was designed a structure of control and power electronics. Research of suitable algorithms was made and some of them were implemented. For this algorithms gains were designed, using simulation. The whole system was tested and validated in flight.

This thesis tests a new theory about the role that public perceptions on target populations play in designing homeless policies - as demonstrated through the Homeless Policy Design Model. The theory and model present an expansion of theories on the target populations and policy design from Lowi (1972), Ingram, Schneider and Deleon (2007); and Schneider and Ingram (1993). The model is tested through a case study of homeless policy in Seattle, WA from 2007 to 2016 and the correlating perceptions of the homeless generated through the rhetoric of the political elite and the general public. The homeless policy design model indicates that the public's perceptions about homeless target populations will impact policy design choices. Through qualitative research methods, the thesis finds that there is a recognizable correlation between how the public views the homeless and what type of policy the Seattle City Council passed from 2007 to 2016.
