It is the photograph that plays a crucial role in shaping the awareness of one's own identity and belonging to a community. Through photographs, on the one hand, we perceive the world and store our individual (Van Dijck, 2005) as well as our collective memory (Pink, 2011). On the other hand, photographs serve as a means of self-expression (Tinkler, 2008). Moreover, today's time is greatly fragmented, discontinuous, and episodic, which, on the other hand, leads human individuals to constantly legitimize themselves as unique and authentic individuals (Bauman, 2002). Furthermore, this constant communication via photographs requires a continual adaptation to the media messages, which puts an increased emphasis on visual communication as a field of social sciences, tightly connected to media studies. In short, the main goal of this dissertation is to introduce an analysis..

Photo galleries and video journalism in Czech online media
No full textThis thesis deals with means of online journalism, specifically photogalleries and videojournalism. Theoretical part of the work is devoted to the phenomena of digitization and media convergence that significantly influenced journalistic work, including photography and video. In practical part, the author uses four case studies to examine how Czech online media work with image material and how they use means of videojournalism. This work maps use of galleries and video in four domestic media: iDNES.cz, ihned.cz, Aktuálně.cz and Echo24.cz. The author describes hierarchy in individual editorial staffs and user interface of the photogalleries and videoplayers. In addition, the author charts the presence of photogalleries and videos in the concrete server over a period of one week. The work is based on scientific literature and interviews with photographers, editors and reporters of selected media. Other information sources are the actual websites. The work is supplemented by visual attachments and transcriptions of the interviews
Representation of journalists in videogames
No full textThe Representation of Journalists in Videogames aims to find out how do videogame developers represent journalists in the mainstream videogames. The analysis is based on five case studies of various videogames but it also includes sequels and prequels of the selected games. The author of this thesis analyzes nine videogame journalists which can be differentiated into several categories: investigative reporters, photojournalists, paparazzis, radio and TV reporters and hosts of various television shows. Their behavior is not the only aspect this thesis analyzes because their visual appearance is also fully in the hands of the game developers. This thesis proves that the videogame journalists are sometimes depicted stereotypically but if so, it is always for a reason. Videogame developers do not always use this sort of depictions and can even accurately describe journalistic practice and behavior. Journalism is always better described if the journalist is a heroic protagonist of their videogame. If they are villains, it is often described using various negative stereotypes
Modular System for Distributed User Data Management
No full textTitle: Modular System for Distributed User Data Management Author: Filip Pavliš, Author's email: [email protected] Department: Department of Distributed and Dependable Systems Supervisor: Mgr. Pavel Ježek, Department of Distributed and Dependable Systems Abstract: The main objective of this project was to create a multiplatform modular system for distributed data management. The system supports both local and remote accessible data storage. Therefore a part of the solution is also a server for remote data access. System also provides parallel usage of a local and remote storage which guarantees that the storage is accessible also when connection to server is lost. In this case, system is capable to synchronize changes between the server and a client. A client can use multiple instances of his storage and our system is able to synchronize them through central server. The system provides abstraction over data model to separate plugin developers from its specific behavior. As practical preview of system usability was created an extension application called TuaLoca. The application will contain implementation of preview plugins and basic user interaction. Keywords: Distributed Data Management, Modular system, Synchronization on the SQL Queries Level, Distributed Solution for Interface LIN
