Academic literature on the topic 'Regional painter'

Master's thesis called Not too well-known painter reacts on art of regional painter Jaromír Martiník. It is an exhibition of the work of this painter. Thanks to the intervention of author of this exhibition brings up his work into unusual context of artist from Beskydy, who is influenced by oriental philosophy.

This thesis discusses hand-painted decoration on British ceramics in the period 1870 to 1920 in the context of changing economic and social climates and gendered employment and occupation. The original impetus for this research came from analysis of ware produced at the South Wales Pottery in Llanelli sometime in the period 1877 to 1920. As the research expanded and links with other potteries were established, it became evident that varied innovations in hand-painted ceramic decoration were influenced by national, local and gendered responses to a period of transition in Britain.

<p> Virginia City once exemplified the cutting edge of culture and taste in the Rocky Mountain mining frontier. Weathering economic downturns, mining booms and busts, and the loss of the territorial capital to Helena, Virginia City survives today as a heritage tourism site with a substantial building stock from its period of significance, 1863-1875. However, the poor physical condition and interpretation of the town offers tourists an inauthentic experience. Without paint analysis, the Montana Heritage Commission, state-appointed caretakers of Virginia City cannot engage in rehabilitation. As of 2017, no published architectural finishes research exists that provides comparative case studies for the Anglo-American settlement of the American West between 1840-1880, for American industrial landscapes, or for vernacular architecture in Montana. This thesis offers a case study of five buildings to add to the body of scholarly architectural finishes research, provide rehabilitation recommendations, and provide a published, baseline study for future research.</p><p>

As the basis of analysis, it was used macroeconomic variables grouped by municipalities. Initially it was made a literature review of issues related to the question, namely: economic development, social development, regional and local development, public policies for development, the different approaches of health economics and the economic mechanisms by which implement health lead to the acceleration of economic development. Later, it was made a brief overview of works that raise these issues; focus was given to work done in Latin America, because it is believed that they have a greater similarity with the Brazilian reality. Finally, to achieve the proposed objective was elaborated a panel data analysis for the 399 municipalities of the state of Paraná, relating a set of variables, which is the main features of the system in the region with data aimed at measuring the level local development, and these gross domestic product per capita and the index IPARDES municipal development. All data were collected from official secondary sources of the different spheres of government. As a result of this econometric analysis for the years 2007-2011 only be obtained a statistically significant variable that showed inversely related to explanatory variable GDP per capita, it is the number of community health workers, it is believed that this occurred because the nature of the service provided by these agents, whose objective is long-term. In common, on both models it was obtained three statistically significant variables, positive and different from zero, as follows: Total expenditure per capita expenditure on own resources and complementary health, these variables represent respectively the size of the structure public health placed at the disposal of the population, the total resources of the exclusive management of local staff and services purchased by the public sector with the private sector. The fact that these variables are positive and different from zero makes us infer that the public health system has a positive impact on the trajectory of local development.<br>A proposta deste estudo foi analisar se há impacto do investimento em saúde pública na trajetória de desenvolvimento econômico e social, analisado em escala local, cuja delimitação espacial é a unidade federativa do Paraná, composta por 399 municípios. Como base de análise utilizou-se variáveis macroeconômicas agrupadas por municípios. Inicialmente, fez-se uma revisão bibliográfica dos temas relacionados à questão, sendo eles: o desenvolvimento econômico, desenvolvimento social, desenvolvimento regional e local, políticas públicas voltadas para o desenvolvimento, as diferentes abordagens da economia da saúde e os mecanismos econômicos pelos quais o implemento em saúde levam à aceleração do desenvolvimento econômico. Posteriormente, fez-se um breve apanhado de trabalhos que levantam essas questões, deu-se foco a trabalhos realizados na América Latina, pois, acredita-se que estes possuem uma maior similitude com a realidade brasileira. Por fim, para alcançar o objetivo proposto elaborou-se uma análise de dados em painel, para os 399 municípios do estado do Paraná, relacionando um conjunto de variáveis, que representa as principais características do sistema na região, com dados que visam mensurar o nível de desenvolvimento local, sendo esses o produto interno bruto per capita e o índice IPARDES de desenvolvimento municipal. Todos os dados foram coletados de fontes secundárias oficiais das diferentes esferas de governo. Como resultado desta análise econométrica para os anos de 2007 a 2011, obteve-se apenas uma variável estatisticamente significativa que apresentou-se inversamente relacionada à variável explicativa PIB per capita, sendo ela o número de agentes comunitários de saúde, acredita-se que isso ocorreu dada à natureza do serviço prestado por esses agentes, cujo objetivo é de longo prazo. Em comum em ambos os modelos obteve-se três variáveis estatisticamente significativas, positivas e diferentes de zero em ambos os modelos, sendo elas: Despesa total per capita, Despesa com recursos próprios e Saúde complementar, essas variáveis representam respectivamente, o tamanho da estrutura de saúde pública colocada à disposição da população, o total de recursos sobre a gestão exclusiva dos agentes locais e os serviços adquiridos pelo setor público junto a iniciativa privada. O fato dessas variáveis serem positivas e diferentes de zero nos faz inferir que o sistema público de saúde impacta positivamente sobre a trajetória de desenvolvimento local.

Tendo como base o modelo teórico de Mankiw-Romer-Weil com a expansão espacial proposta por Ertur e Koch (2006), emprega-se um Spatial Durbin Model (SDM) com efeitos-fixos, uma estratégia empírica que considera simultaneamente a dependência espacial e as heterogeneidades específicas de cada economia. Soma-se a isso a estimação dos impactos diretos e impactos indiretos (spillovers) dos determinantes do crescimento regional. Os resultados indicam uma forte dependência espacial entre as microrregiões brasileiras, além disso, há evidências que mostram que tanto o investimento em capital físico quanto o investimento em capital humano importam não só para o crescimento da própria economia, como também para o crescimento de economias vizinhas.

This thesis deals with a distinct group of Aegean pottery from the Late Bronze Age known as the Octopus Style, and in particular the Octopus Style stirrup jar, which constitutes the overwhelming majority of the group. Richly and variously decorated, they were produced widely across the Aegean. Sometimes exported or imitated, large and decorative, their presumed function as an object of display and their prestigious character accord with their find contexts. These vases are thus an important source of evidence for understanding the new circumstances in the region after the collapse of the Mycenaean palace system, particularly in relation to Crete, from where they largely owed their inspiration. Aiming first to define the predecessor of the Octopus Style, Late Minoan IIIB octopus- painted vases are examined stylistically and contextually. The study proposes a clearer idea about the painted designs of the Octopus Style produced in each region through a rigorous comparison of the material in order to construct a more concrete picture of regional characteristics and stylistic relationships between each regional group. Design elements on the Octopus Style stirrup jars are systematically described and compared and the relevant stratigraphical and contextual evidence examined to establish the sequence of stylistic development. By taking this approach, it was possible to discern several stylistic groups within each regional group and six phases of development in the Octopus Style stirrup jar, which started and virtually ended with the Late Minoan IIIC period. Through these phases, the stylistic relationships between the regional groups are not constant. A strong influence from Crete is evident on the earliest Rhodian and Naxian Octopus Style, whereas during later phases, mainland stylistic features are more visible than before. On this basis, important changing local power relationships and competing fashions between Aegean societies may be inferred from this decorative pottery.

Assim, o problema fundamental é se as políticas regionais implementadas pelo governo foram eficazes (diminuindo as desigualdades do PIB per capita) e eficientes (contribuindo para o crescimento do PIB per capita) ao longo do período de 1999 a 2004. A metodologia consiste da Análise Exploratória de Dados Espaciais (AEDE) e de modelos de dados em painel com dependência espacial. Os resultados da AEDE destacam a importância dos efeitos espaciais para as variáveis investigadas. A análise espacial das taxas de crescimento econômico mostra a presença de dependência espacial nos dados. Municípios pobres tiveram altas taxas de crescimento; municípios ricos tiveram baixas taxas de crescimento. A análise econométrica indica que a política da Lei Robin Hood não foi eficiente nem foi eficaz. Pelo contrário, acabou intensificando as desigualdades de renda em Minas Gerais. A política do Fundo de Participação dos Municípios e a política da carga tributária municipal, apesar de não terem sido eficientes, foram eficazes. A pesquisa revela que houve convergência condicional do PIB per capita. A velocidade de convergência é lenta (0,012%), com uma meia-vida de mais de 50 anos. Este resultado mostra a necessidade de se repensar as políticas regionais de forma a se acelerar esse processo (a literatura indica que alta convergência ocorre quando essa velocidade é cerca de 2%). As variáveis que contribuíram positivamente para o crescimento foram: meio industrial, mercado regional, capital humano dos municípios vizinhos e carga tributária dos municípios vizinhos. Aquelas variáveis que, ao contrário, influenciaram negativamente foram: densidade demográfica, taxa de crime, transferências da Lei Robin Hood, meio industrial dos municípios vizinhos, densidade demográfica dos municípios vizinhos, taxa do crime dos municípios vizinhos, transferências da Lei Robin Hood aos municípios vizinhos e fundo de participação dos municípios vizinhos. Estes resultados auxiliam na elaboração de políticas regionais, por apontarem quais variáveis mais contribuem para o crescimento e para a redução das disparidades de renda regional entre os municípios. Por fim, conclui-se que o mercado por si só não se revelou capaz de dirimir as desigualdades regionais, sendo que as políticas regionais parecem desempenhar um papel neste processo. Contudo, a existência de políticas regionais por si só não parece garantir que elas sejam eficientes e eficazes. É preciso delineá-las adequadamente com vistas a que alcancem as propriedades da eficiência e da eficácia.<br>Minas Gerais State presents big socio-economic differences. Thus, the key question is to find out if the regional policies implemented by the government were efficacious (in terms of reducing GDP per capita inequalities) and efficient (in terms of contributing to the GDP per capita growth) over the period 1999-2004. The methodology adopted is the Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis (ESDA) and panel date models with spatial dependence. The results of the ESDA stress the importance of the spatial effects for the variables investigated. The spatial analysis of the economic growth rates shows the presence of spatial dependence in the data. Poor municipalities had high growth rates; rich municipalities had low growth rates. The econometric analysis indicates that Robin Hood Act was neither efficacious nor efficient. On the contrary, this act finished intensifying regional income inequalities in Minas Gerais State. The regional policies represented by tax transferences from FPM and the regional policy of the tax burden, although they have not been efficient, were efficacious. In addition to, the findings reveal that there was conditional convergence of the GDP per capita. In despite of this, the convergence speed is slow (0,012%), with a half-life of more than fifty years. This result sheds light to the need to rethink the regional policies with the objective of speeding up this process (literature indicates that high convergence occurs when this speed is about 2%). The variables that had a positive contribution to the growth were: industrial environment, regional market, neighboring municipality human capital and neighboring municipality tax burden. Those variables, in turn, that had a negative influence over growth were: demographic density, crime rates, tax transferences from the Robin Hood Act, neighboring municipality industrial environment, neighboring municipality demographic density, neighboring municipality crime rates, tax transferences from the Robin Hood Act towards to neighboring municipalities and tax transferences from the FPM towards to the neighboring cities. These findings help to elaborate regional policies by pinpointing which variables are more important in order to contribute to the growth and to reduce regional income disparities among municipalities. Finally, one concludes that the market by itself is not able to nullify regional inequalities, thereby regional policies seem to play a role in this process. However, the presence of regional policies by itself does not seem to guarantee that these policies are efficient and efficacious. It is necessary to delineate them properly in order to reach the properties of efficiency and efficaciousness.

Para isto, utilizou-se o modelo gravitacional com dados em painel compreendendo o período de 1990 a 2009. Em termos metodológicos, foram comparados os estimadores mais utilizados à equação gravitacional, MQO (pooled data), LSDV, HT, PMVP e Between. O estimador LSDV foi o que apresentou melhor desempenho no presente estudo e se constatou que o modelo gravitacional é extremamente sensível a presença de outliers. Os resultados sugerem que houve criação de comércio e desvio de exportação com a formação do Mercosul. Já o Nafta, além de ter sido o único bloco que se percebe um efeito antecipação sobre seus fluxos de comércio intrazona, há sinais de que o crescimento do comércio ocorrido se deu através de criação de comércio. De forma distinta, os resultados para a Comunidade Andina e para a EFTA indicam que ambos não expandiram seus níveis de comércio intrabloco, levando em conta a análise de apenas uma dummy para todo o período e para cada bloco. Não obstante, há indícios de que o Asean e o PAFTA desviaram comércio e, destaca-se também, a natureza exportadora desses blocos. Os níveis de comércio intrabloco da União Europeia (UE) parecem que chegaram ao seu limite, dado que o bloco não alavancou suas importações intrabloco. Semelhantemente, esta situação foi observada no Mercado Comum da África Oriental e Austral (COMESA). Por fim, a forma como evoluíram os fluxos de comércio intrazona (ex ante e ex post) decorrentes da constituição dos blocos foi diferente não somente em termos de volume, mas também na velocidade em que eles responderam a sua formação, isto é, seu efeito foi percebido imediatamente em alguns casos e em outros ele demorou alguns anos.<br>From 1990 there was a proliferation of Preferential Trade Agreements notified to the World Trade Organization. This study aims to identify whether this new regionalism led to the trade creation or trade diversion to their participants, as well as export diversion, using a gravity model based on panel data over the period from 1990 to 2009. In terms of methodology, it compares the most commonly used estimators of the gravity equation, OLS (pooled data), LSDV, HT, PMVP and Between. The LSDV estimator showed the best performance and this study found that the gravity model is extremely sensitive to the presence of outliers. The results suggest the existence of trade creation and export diversion due to the formation of Mercosur. With regards to NAFTA, besides being the only bloc that showed an anticipatory effect on their trade flows within the region, there are signs that the growth of trade occurred due to trade creation. Differently, the results for the Andean Community and the EFTA does not indicate that both expanded their levels of intra-bloc trade, taking into account the analysis of only a dummy for the entire period for each bloc. Nevertheless, there are indications that the Asean and PAFTA caused trade diversion, and also stands out the exporting nature of these blocs. The levels of intra-bloc trade of the European Union (EU) seem to have reached their limit, even after the adoption of the common currency. Similarly, this situation was observed in the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA). Finally, the way trade flows evolved within each bloc (ex ante and ex post) was quite different, not only in terms of trade volume but also on how quickly they responded to their formation, with effect arising immediately in some cases and in others it took a few years.

Wooden railway sleeper inspections in Sweden are currently performed manually by a human operator; such inspections are based on visual analysis. Machine vision based approach has been done to emulate the visual abilities of human operator to enable automation of the process. Through this process bad sleepers are identified, and a spot is marked on it with specific color (blue in the current case) on the rail so that the maintenance operators are able to identify the spot and replace the sleeper. The motive of this thesis is to help the operators to identify those sleepers which are marked by color (spots), using an “Intelligent Vehicle” which is capable of running on the track. Capturing video while running on the track and segmenting the object of interest (spot) through this vehicle; we can automate this work and minimize the human intuitions. The video acquisition process depends on camera position and source light to obtain fine brightness in acquisition, we have tested 4 different types of combinations (camera position and source light) here to record the video and test the validity of proposed method. A sequence of real time rail frames are extracted from these videos and further processing (depending upon the data acquisition process) is done to identify the spots. After identification of spot each frame is divided in to 9 regions to know the particular region where the spot lies to avoid overlapping with noise, and so on. The proposed method will generate the information regarding in which region the spot lies, based on nine regions in each frame. From the generated results we have made some classification regarding data collection techniques, efficiency, time and speed. In this report, extensive experiments using image sequences from particular camera are reported and the experiments were done using intelligent vehicle as well as test vehicle and the results shows that we have achieved 95% success in identifying the spots when we use video as it is, in other method were we can skip some frames in pre-processing to increase the speed of video but the segmentation results we reduced to 85% and the time was very less compared to previous one. This shows the validity of proposed method in identification of spots lying on wooden railway sleepers where we can compromise between time and efficiency to get the desired result.
