Women-artist of the Czech underground movement Abstract The thesis will deal with the artworks by woman artists, who lived and created in Czech underground subculture of the 1970s and 1980s Czechoslovakia. Underground subculture was rather a lifestyle and dislike to the establishment. The thesis focuses on woman artists, for example, Naďa Plíšková, Zorka Ságlová, Kateřina Černá, Věra Jirousová, Juliána Jirousová, Iva Vodrážková and some others. It will examine if women, who were making art in the Czech underground subculture, had any female specificity of artworks, personal life or their position in the underground community. Keywords Czech Underground Culture in 1970s and 1980s, Communism, Normalization, Feminism, Independent Domestic Structures, Czech and Czechoslovak Art

This paper describes the way to realization such an application, where a user chooses a photo database to working with and enters a photo into the system. The system using a visual vocabulary finds the most similar photos from the database and offers tags of the searched photo with a suitable form based on the tag statistical analysis of this photo.

The master's thesis deals with automatic classifi cation of text document. It explains basic terms and problems of text mining. The thesis explains term clustering and shows some basic clustering algoritms. The thesis also shows some methods of classi fication and deals with matrix regression closely. Application using matrix regression for classifi cation was designed and developed. Experiments were focused on normalization and thresholding.

The biometric techniques are well known and widespread nowadays. In this context biometry means automated person recognition using anatomic features. This work uses the iris as the anatomic feature. Iris recognition is taken as the most promising technique of all because of its non-invasiveness and low error rate. The inventor of iris recognition is John G. Daugman. His work underlies almost all current public works of this technology. This final thesis is concerned with biometry based on iris images. The principles of biometric methods based on iris images are described in the first part. The first practical part of this work is aimed at the proposal and realization of two methods which localize the iris inner boundary. The third part presents the proposal and realization of iris image processing in order to classifying persons. The last chapter is focus on evaluation of experimental results and there are also compared our results with several well-known methods.

Biometrics is a method of recognizing the identity of a person based on unique biological characteristics that are unique to each person. The methods of biometric identification is currently becoming increasingly widespread in various sectors. This work is focused on the identification of a person by iris images. The introductory section describes the principles of the well-known methods for biometric applications and the next part describes the design method and its implementation in Matlab. In the practical part, fast radial symmetry method is used for detection of pupil, from which it derives further image processing. Two dimensional discrete welvet transform is used here. The proposed algorithm is tested on databases CASIA-Iris- Interval and database IITD.

The diploma thesis Order optimization and validation of resource capacities in company Formex s.r.o. is composed from three parts. The first one is an introduction to the types and specifications of production systems. It also follows production planning and control. The second part is dedicated to analysis of the information system WorkPlan and to the analysis of the company Formex s.r.o. (the company structure, the production and the planning process). The possible ways of production planning and order optimization with respect to the use of IS WorkPlan were designed in the third part of the diploma thesis. Consequently the most suitable planning way was selected and the templates with the normalized technological processes were designed. The diploma thesis also contains validation of the proposals and it is enclosed with the recommendation for the future steps in the production planning in the company Formex s.r.o.

This master thesis deals with the implementation of various types of recurrent neural networks via programming language lua using torch library. It focuses on finding optimal strategy for training recurrent neural networks and also tries to minimize the duration of the training. Furthermore various types of regularization techniques are investigated and implemented into the recurrent neural network architecture. Implemented recurrent neural networks are compared on the speech recognition task using AMI dataset, where they model the acustic information. Their performance is also compared to standard feedforward neural network. Best results are achieved using BLSTM architecture. The recurrent neural network are also trained via CTC objective function on the TIMIT dataset. Best result is again achieved using BLSTM architecture.

With special attention being paid to the development in the city of Brno, the dissertation focuses on the issue of applying artworks in Czechoslovak architecture after World War II. The main research questions – Why were in Czechoslovakia after 1945 artworks again integrated in architecture and what strategies were applied in the case of the newly built housing estates in the city of Brno? – are answered in two successive sections. First, the institutional background for application of art in architecture in the light of the events in Brno (1945–1993) is examined; the closing part is devoted to three case studies that illustrate local development in the period of socialist realism, creative release of the1960s and political normalization. The aim is to highlight the complexity of the examined subject and refute a popularly handed down conviction that integration of artworks into architecture in the period of socialism was motivated exclusively by the communist propaganda, and to show that the attempts to create a synthesis of art and architecture were also based both on earlier theoretical considerations about the educational function of art and its effect on humans and the need to improve poor economic situation of artists after World War II.

The presented dissertation focuses on the large-scale privatization in Czechoslovakia in the early 1990's, on how it was pushed through and why. It analyses the political conflicts over its eventual form and means of realization, and reconstructs the contemporary expectations concerning the future development. It also pays attention to the roots of the 1990's conflicts in the relevant economic disputes of the previous decades. The dissertation identifies an establishment of a new type of liberal political language as a key moment for the implementation of a large-scale privatization. For the new political language, which can be labelled as "market without adjectives" (or "attributes"), the privatization was a flagship policy and it encompassed its key ideas. The language of market without adjectives was defined in a strong opposition to the principles of the so-called "economic democracy", which had been popular among the members of the Czechoslovak dissent, the numerous supporters of workers' self- governing bodies and some economic experts. The attempts to implement the principles of market without adjectives occurred during several political conflicts the dissertation tries to analyse. The delimitation of space for democratic decision making was one of them, with the liberal economists arguing...

The thesis focuses on the staging of Soviet operettas in Czechoslovakia between 1946 and 1987. The import of the Soviet repertoire to Czechoslovak operetta theaters was linked to the cultural and political transformations at the outset of the communist regime in Czechoslovakia. The so-called Soviet socialist operetta would soon have been established as a model for new Czechoslovak operettas. As such, it became an important part of the repertoire which was influenced by the official polical system. The thesis surveys the progressing intensity of the import and the developing operetta genre in the Soviet Union. On the examples of Isaac Dunayevsky's operettas Free Wind and, more intensively, White Acacia, in comparison with the original versions of these operettas, it shows the tendencies of interpretation of Soviet operettas in Czechoslovakia, in the changing cultural and political context. The thesis also concerns the topic of critical perception in both cultural environments and, overall, it aspires to capture the examined topics in the widest possible contextual horizon.
