Sensors are widely used in all aspects of our daily life including factories, hospitals and even our homes. Discovering time series association rules from sensor data can reveal the potential relationship between different sensors which can be used in many applications. However, the time series association rule mining algorithms usually produce rules much more than expected. It’s hardly to under-stand, present or make use of the rules. So we need to prune and summarize the huge amount of rules. In this paper, a two-step pruning method is proposed to reduce both the number and redundancy in the large set of time series rules. Be-sides, we put forward the BIGBAR summarizing method to summarize the rules and present the results intuitively.

RÉSUMÉ IN ENGLISH The topic of this master thesis is the principle of promptness in the criminal proceedings because this question is nowadays the subject-matter of numerous discussions, in which it is spoken about overloaded Czech justice system, about delays in court proceedings and about options, how to relieve the system of Czech criminal justice system. The aim of the submitted thesis is to evaluate critically the current legal institutes helping to make the criminal proceedings faster, mainly the investigation of crimes, and to contemplate its potential extension, without having caused any more significant limitation of the right of the accused to defence. Among other principles, which stay often contrary to the principle of promptness and which the legislators always must bear in mind, are the principle of material truth and the principle of contradiction. The thesis is divided into seven basic chapters. The first chapter is the introduction. The second chapter deals with the meaning of promptness of criminal proceedings for each particular subject of the criminal proceedings, mainly for the accused and the injured party. Third chapter presents the statistic data on the average length of proceedings in the Czech Republic and within the European Union: the average length of criminal proceedings leaded...

Douze ans constituent un délai raisonnable pour faire un bilan global de la procédure de l'article L. 521-1 du Code de justice administrative. L'examen des évolutions jurisprudentielles et l'analyse des dernières dispositions législatives font percevoir l'élargissement du domaine d'application du mécanisme qui est, dans l'ensemble, cohérent. Doté de nouvelles prérogatives subtiles et redoutables, le juge du référé-suspension assume parfaitement son rôle du juge de l'équilibre et de la nécessité. Il est le garant de la protection provisoire. L'efficacité est le noyau dur de sa fonction. Le changement d'état d'esprit et d'attitude du juge administratif a eu des conséquences à la fois théoriques et pratiques en la matière. De part sa gestion rapide, son accessibilité, son mode de raisonnement et sa créativité, le juge du référé-suspension est juge de la rupture. À cela, s'ajoutent la préoccupation du juge des effets de ses interventions et la flexibilité des mesures prononcées. Disposant ainsi d'une véritable culture de l'urgence, le juge a gagné de la crédibilité et de la légitimité et est, surtout, devenu un concurrent redoutable face à ses homologues, que ce soit au niveau national ou européen. Bien que performant, le juge des référés n'est pas au bout de ses potentialités. La continuité entre le référé- suspension et son ancêtre est tangible. Le système reste imparfait. Nombreux en sont les points perfectibles. Pour y remédier, le juge ainsi que le législateur doivent rester en mouvement. / Twelve years represent reasonable time to make a global report on the procedure of article L.521-1 of Code of adminstrative law. The examination of case law evolution and the analysis of last legal measures allow us to detect an enlargment of field which is consistent. Equipped with new subtly and dreaded prerogatives, summary's judge of suspension of administrative act, assumes perfectly his duty of judging balance and necessity. He is the guarantor of the temporary protection. Efficacity constitutes his function'hard core. The change of state of mind and attitude of administrative judge had consequences both theorical and practical in the subject. Due to his fast management, his accessibility, his way of reasoning and its creativity, the summary's judge of suspension is the judge of breach. Beyond that, are added the judge's preoccupation of teh effects of his intervention and the flexibility of delivered sentences. The judge has won credibility and legitimacy by having a real cukture of emrgency and became a tremendous rival opposite to his homolog on nation-wide or European-wide. Although efficient, summary's judge has more potentialities. The continuity from summary-suspension and his ancestor is real. The system is still imperfect. To solve this, the judge and lawmaker have to stay in alert.

The thesis consists of a business plan draft for the organization of an International Summer Dance School in Prague. This project is a starting point for a broader vision of an international dance institution. The work is based on a theoretical foundation that is needed to create a business plan.

<div><div><div><p>Impacting individual’s social and physical well-being, psychiatric disorders have been a substantial burden on public health. As such disorders are frequently observed aggregating in families, we can expect a large involvement of heritable components underlying their etiologies. Therefore, studying the genetic architecture and basis is one of the most important aims toward developing effective treatments for psychiatric disorders. The overall objective of this dissertation is to contribute to understanding the genetics of psychiatric disorders. Analyzing summary statistics from genomewide association studies (GWAS) of psychiatric disorders, we mainly present results of two projects. In the first one, we evaluated commonalities and distinctions in genetic risk of four highly comorbid childhood onset neuropsychiatric disorders: attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and Tourette’s syndrome (TS). Through systematic analysis of genetic architecture and correlation, we confirmed exitance of genetic components shared across ADHD, ASD and TS, as well as OCD and TS. Subsequently, we identified those components at variant, gene, and tissue specificity levels through meta-analyses. Our results pointed toward possible involvement of hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, a human stress response system, in the etiology of these childhood onset disorders. The second project includes the proposition of a novel framework for general GWAS summary statistics-based analyses. Instead of regular odds ratio and standard errors archived in the summary statistics, we proposed a recounstruction approach to rewrite the results in terms of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) allelic and genotypic frequencies. We also put forward three applications built-upon the proposed framework, and evaluated the performance on both synthetic data and real GWAS results of psychiatric disorders for each of them. Through these three applications, we demonstrated that this framework can broaden the scope of GWAS summary statistics-based analyses and unify various of analyses pipelines. We hope our work can serve as a stepping-stone for future researchers aiming at understanding and utilizing GWAS results of complex psychiatric disorders.</p></div></div></div>

This diploma thesis is devoted to the issue of imposing penalties on the pluralistic criminal activity with the focus on the two main types, which are concurrence of crimes and recidivism. The main aim of the thesis is to analyze the means of penalisation of concurrent crimes and recidivism under the current legislation. In order for the analysis of these institutes to be complete, the thesis puts an emphasis on the summarization of the present criminal law theory which is always complemented by the relevant case law. Selected institutes are further compared firstly to the previous czech legislation, secondly to the criminial code of Germany with the objective to underline that both concurrence of crimes and recidivism must be not perceived separetely, but in the context of a local criminal law as a whole, namely with respect to a specific penalty system, a method of their imposition as well as their function. The thesis also refers to some interpretative and applicational problems of some particular provisions related to concurrence of crimes or recidivism. For this reason the thesis contains practical examples to illustratively demonstrate the prior explanation so it might be possibly used for practical application. Furthermore the thesis at least marginally addresses some current topics, which...

This master´s thesis studies qualities of aerated concretes, is monitoring influenece concrete composition, quantity of aerating admixture and plasticized admixture on the durability of concrete. It is monitored especially air flow and his influence on durability on concrete. In theoretical part are explained mechanisms of damage concrete, phenomena, which influence compressive strength of concrete and then there are the results of resistance against the influence of chemical defrosting substances. In experimental work were designed, mixed and tested recipe of concerete. We investigated different atribute, especially resistance of the chemical defrosting and air flow in hardened concrete. The result of master´s thesis is effect of flow air in concrete on the durability.

For this project I sought to find a more effective means of evaluating academic listening comprehension. This involved doing an in-depth investigation of academic listening, the constructs involved in listening comprehension, and of methods of assessing listening comprehension. It also included a study of the concept of test usefulness (Bachman and Palmer, 1996), which consists of reliability, construct validity, authenticity, interactiveness, impact, and practicality, and is used to help select the most effective methods of assessing language abilities. Based on my review of listening comprehension testing methods, I created a method of assessing academic listening comprehension, Aural Gapped Listening Summaries (AGLS), produced a short version of the AGLS for piloting through BYU's English Language Center and credit exam for matriculated students, and then analyzed the results of this piloting to determine whether future investigation was merited. This project write-up includes a description of the development of the AGLS, the methods of administration, and students' cursory perceptions of the AGLS, as well as the results of the pilot test. The AGLS involved students listening to an excerpt of a lecture followed by an aural summary of that lecture with every 8th word replaced by low-volume static. Then they were asked to type a word or phrase in a box on their computer screens that would best fill in the gap where the static was. Ranks on the AGLS were correlated with a standard listening test, which is administered every semester at Brigham Young University, and with students' individual perceptions of their listening abilities. Results showed that AGLS correlates moderately well with traditional measures of academic listening (r=0.7731) while giving testers interesting information about student interlanguage in very little time. Results further showed that AGLS has a much higher reliability coefficient (r=0.9223) in comparison to the other listening test. Therefore, although traditionally testers have had to write lengthy tests in order to get an adequate representation of students' listening abilities, it may be possible to obtain the necessary information about students' abilities with this more time-efficient measurement tool.
