Arvin Meritor Factory Brno
Předmětem zadání bakalářské práce je řešení novostavby závodu Arvin Meritor v Brně kde byla využita zanedbaná plocha bývalého autovrakoviště v Maloměřicích mezi ulicemi Borky a Slaměníkovou, která je vedena jako brownfield č.1904. Vymezením pozemku byla vytvořena příčná hmota kolmo k okolným násypům pro minimální užití plochy pozemku a pro maximální variabilitu dostavby v budoucnu. Základní tvar budovy vychází z posunutí mezi sebou výrobních linek a jejich propojením skleněnými chodbami co vytváří hlavní výrobní část. Takový princip dává zajímavý výškový přepad a taky umožňuje přidání dalších celků: pomocných provozů a „vstupního celku“. Tyto funkce jsou vrstveny tak, aby řešení bylo co nejvíce flexibilní a univerzální. „Vstupní celek“ je dominantou celé budovy. Pro ně byla použita skleněná fasáda, což vytváří dostatečné osvětlení pro administrativu. Před ní je namontovaná konstrukce s červenými fasádními lamelami, která slouží jak pro zvýraznění, ta i pro stínění. Na podélné fasádě výrobní části použit copilit a sendvičové panely. Pásová okna jsou protáhnuté o celé délce a vytvářejí kontakt pracovníků s prostředím. Pro ostatní části budovy taky použité plechové sendvičové panely šedého odstínu. Na střeše jsou použité pilový světlíky, které jsou natočený do severovýchodní strany, a to je 45o vůči budově. Taky byla navřena páteřní objízdná komunikace.This bachelor's thesis discusses a solution of the new-build factory Arvin Meritor in Brno, where the neglected area of the former junkyard (registered as a brownfield number 1904) in Maloměřicí between Borky and Slaměníková streets is used. Determinating the area the transverse substance has been formed perpendicular to the surrounding embankments for minimum usage of the land and the maximum variability of the completion in the future. The basic shape of the building comes from the reciprocal displacement of the production lines and their connection to the glass corridors shaping the main production part. This principle gives an interesting altitude difference, also allowing the possibility of adding further units such as auxiliary factory operations and the input unit. These features are layered in a way to make the solution as flexible and universal as possible. The "input unit" is the dominant feature of the whole building, for that, a glass facade is used to create sufficient lighting for the administration. There is a construction with red facade lamellae mounted in front of the glass facade, which is used for highlighting and shading. Copilit and sandwich panels are used on the longitudinal facade of the production part, while strip windows are pulled through the entire length and create a contact of workers with the environment. Other parts of the building used tin sandwich grey shade panels, while the roof used sawtooth skylights turned to the northeast with 45 degrees angle corresponds to the building. Finally, a suggestion of backbone traffic is also discussed in this thesis in details.
Smart District Špitalka
Navržená budova je součásti komplexu ze třech budov. Úkolem bylo vytvořit dominanty nového území, které by zahrnovali funkce, odpovídající pojetí chytrá čtvrť. Budova je o 19 nadzemních podlaží a dva podzemních. Jednoduchý tvar doplněn vlnitou střechou kongresového centra a zakřiveným atriem. Hlavní vstup je směrem k nové městské třídě, hlavní fasáda kongresového centra orientován k náměstí. Dynamika tvaru výškové budovy podporuje nepravidelný rastr oken, kombinace plného zdění a děravého odlehčuji fasádu dolní části.The proposed building is part of a complex of three buildings. The task was to create the dominants of the new territory, which would include functions corresponding to the concept of a smart neighborhood. The building has 19 floors above ground and two underground. The simple shape is complemented by the corrugated roof of the congress center and the curved atrium. The main entrance is towards the new city street, the main facade of the congress center faces the square. The dynamics of the shape of the high-rise building is supported by an irregular grid of windows, the combination of full masonry and leaky lighten the facade of the lower part.

SOCIO-PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS DEFINING THE ATTITUDE OF RUSSIAN PEOPLE TOWARDS PRENUPTIAL AGREEMENT
In the modern world the institution of family and marriage is undergoing various changes. The attitude of Russian people towards the prenuptial agreement shows a tendency for acceptance and approval. The stereotypical perception of the prenuptial agreement as unacceptable between close people is in the past. Based on that, the article is focused on the comparative analysis of the factors that define the attitude of Russian people towards the prenuptial agreement. The key point in the research is evaluation of specific features of respondents’ opinions, expressed in the years of 2007 and 2018, in accordance with the following socio-psychological factors: awareness of the prenuptial agreement, aims for signing one or reasons to refuse doing so, gender and age factors. Research methods include: a preliminary survey of couples in order to define sample groups, a questionnaire, observation, a mathematical method of data analysis (Fisher’s φ-criterion). The research was conducted in two stages: the first diagnostics in the year 2007 (n=40 couples), and the second – in 2018 (n=50 couples). The respondents were divided into groups by the social status of their relationships: officially married, planning to get married, co-habiting couples and partner (guest) relationships. The age of respondents was 18-47. The results of the research showed the following: increase in age leads to clearer understanding and a better expressed opinion about the prenuptial agreement, positive dynamics in favourable perception of prenuptial agreement among the respondents who are officially married or are planning to marry, increased importance of motives for signing a prenuptial agreement – “protection of one’s own interests” and “opportunity to put pressure on the spouse”, lack of connection between the attitude towards prenuptial agreement and awareness of the document.
GNSS High-Rate Data and the Efficiency of Ionospheric Scintillation Indices
The work discusses the efficiency of different ionospheric scintillation indices. The new index D2fi based on the GNSS carrier phase observable was introduced. We analyze the accuracy of the phase measurements, in particular its dependence on the GNSS equipment thermal noises, multipath and external noises, and presettings of Phase Lock Loop and Code Delay Discriminator. The performance of DROTI, S4, σφ, and D2fi was considered for the case of high-rate data. The “sensitivity” and reliability of each index differs significantly and depends on the time resolution of the carrier phase data. The new index D2fi advantages are that it is easily derived and has a clear dependence on GNSS hardware and software features. D2fi was proven to be a useful tool to detect the small-scale ionospheric disturbances based on high-rate GPS carrier phase measurements
The management of the process of forming university students’ tolerance in the conditions of digitalization of higher education
The article deals with the formation of students’ tolerance and management of this process. The aim of the article is to cover theoretical and empirical aspects of the management of students’ tolerance formation. A special focus is made on the role of tolerance in modern society and for the educational system as well as on the contradictions which determine the relevance of tolerance in the university environment. Tolerance is a complex, multifaceted phenomenon which touches all aspects of student life. Entering the university, young people find themselves surrounded by many different personalities who have their own values and beliefs in life. This calls for the necessity to respect and accept a different opinion and a different way of life. Therefore, nowadays the formation of tolerance acquires special importance in educational institutions as it is tolerance which is the basis of effective communication in a politically cultural society like the Russian Federation. So the formation of tolerance is a social order as it is impossible to develop the educational system unless this aspect is included. We scrutinized relevant literature on the issue and came to the conclusion that the formation of tolerance can be only achieved by means of democratic management and students’ conscious choice of tolerant attitudes and behavior, which excludes any pressure or foisting. The study involved the choice of methods and an algorithm, which comprised the diagnosis of the mentioned parameters, conducting a formative experiment, repeated check of the parameters and performing a statistic analysis of the results. The study was carried out on the base of the Institute of Foreign languages, RUDN University (Russia). The research results allow drawing a conclusion about high effectiveness of the implemented actions aimed at the formation of students’ tolerance.
Professional Creativity as A Component of The Effective Activity of a Teacher
The article considers the role and influence of professional creativity on the professional activities as an expression of the teacher’s creative abilities. The purpose of the article is a theoretical and empirical study of the influence of professional creativity on the effectiveness of a teacher’s professional activity. Attention is paid to the place and importance of creativity in the activities of a teacher. Based on an analysis of current literary sources, the phenomenon of professional creativity of a teacher is highlighted, a definition of this concept is given, and its structure and components are considered. The research methodology and its algorithm include a complex psychological and pedagogical experiment, diagnosing the stated parameters and statistical analysis of the results based on Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. The study of teachers’ creativity was carried out on the basis of the Institute of Foreign Languages of the Federal State Autonomous Educational Institution of Higher Education “The Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia” (RUDN) at the Center for Continuing Professional Education. For research purposes, an experimental and a control group were formed. Each group consisted of 35 teachers. The sample was homogeneous by age and gender. The results of the study allow us to conclude that there is a strong relationship between the professional creativity of a teacher and the effectiveness of the professional performance, which is confirmed by the results of statistical processing of the data obtained
