The recent progress in information and communication technologies has enabled us to obtain and store very large amounts of data. The main problem is how to find and extract useful information contained in data. The main goal of this study is to assess the possibility of using Adaptive resonance theory (ART) neural networks for cluster analysis and information retrieval. Their properties, behavior and success rate for different types of artificial and real data were determined as well as optimal values of their parameters for this purpose. Based on achieved results, the possibility of using ART neural networks for Big data analysis was assessed. Then the application based on ART principles with included graphical user interface was implemented and this process was described.

Cílem této diplomové práce je objasnit a lépe pochopit opakující se témata a symboly v hudebním průmyslu, která jsou chápána jako zlo a která jsou běžně spojována s nechvalně známým tajným společenstvím: Ilumináti. Dopad těchto témat a symbolů na podvědomí jejich diváků je významný. Toto umožňuje lépe pochopit budoucnost amerického hudebního průmyslu, který nemalou měrou ovlivňuje budoucnost společnosti. Práce začíná stručným popisem hnutí Iluminátů a jejich cílů, dále se zabývá historií použitých symbolů. Základem tohoto výzkumu je analýza několika videoklipů a záznamu živého vystoupení. Práce rozebírá jak tato videa ovlivňují veřejné mínění a náladu dvěma negativními způsoby: vštěpováním satanistické přítomnosti skrze rituály a posilováním sexuální perverze. V závěru je uvedeno množství témat a symbolů, které se opakovaně vyskytují v hudebním průmyslu, z důvodu jejich závažnosti by neměly být ignorovány. Nicméně spektrum hudebních videí, které mají tyto negativní vlivy, je vcelku široké a bylo by nad rámec jedné práce je všechny pokrýt. Tato práce si klade za cíl sloužit jako první krok v tak potřebném tématu zkoumání.

This postgraduate thesis called "Gender, Identity and Sexuality in Japanese Anime", will be dealing with the depiction and grasping of the meaning of gender, sexuality and identity and the overcoming of their traditional borderlines in Japanese anime. The meaning of the word "gender" in this thesis, is primarily referring to it's original meaning, typically used with reference to social and cultural arrangements of gender roles rather than biological differences between sexes, which is how the word "gender" is often misused. This thesis will primarily be an in-depth research of the diverse interpretation of gender, sexuality and identity in Japanese animated film from an anthropological point of view, incorporating history, tradition and social development in Japan, ranging from its very first mythological beginnings up to present day. Japanese animated film is characterized by its broad range of genres and it's diversity, which is derived not only from the richness of its own unique culture and way of thinking, but also by adopting western concepts, which are then moulded together and joined in a new original form. This manner of adopting certain aspects from other cultures and their uniting with Japanese tradition and culture created a rich fertile ground for growth of new concepts of gender, sexuality and identity. It is also thanks to this aspect, that Japanese anime has obtained a huge enthusiastic and devoted fan base all around the world. The aim of this thesis is to illuminate the background of the emergence of different concepts of gender, sexuality and identity in Japanese anime and to point out these aspects in individual film and series productions, which best depict these different concepts.
