Rabbi Naftali Zevi Yehuda Berlin's commentary to the Pentateuch, Ha'amek Davar, was first published in Vilna in 1879-1880. The work grew out of a daily class that Berlin taught at the famed yeshiva Etz Hayyim of Volozhin, where he was dean from 1853-1893. This study of Ha'amek Davar focuses on Berlin's exegesis of Noah's three sons. Because Berlin often conceals his sources and their previous discussions, one of the great challenges of working with Ha'amek Davar is trying to recognize which interpretations were original to Berlin and which were adapted from elsewhere. Because my discussion was limited to a few passages, it was possible to outline how different aspects of Berlin's exegesis interacted. The historical context of Nineteenth Century Czarist Russia had a strong impact on Ha'amek Davar, and some of Berlin's comments are viewed in light of what was being written in the Russian Jewish press of the time.

Sovereign rating has become a topic of major concern for the international financial community over the last two decades. This paper models ratings as combination of two factors ? hard and soft factors. Economical factors are the hard factors whit there statistical background. The political factors are the soft ones. It is very disturbing that the soft factors are playing a major roll in the rating agencies analysis. I found out that there isn?t any problems with the economical factors in the sovereign rating process, but in the case of political factors there are some major problems. Questionnaires and subjective answers in them may cause a falls sovereign rating process result. The cooperation between the regulative organs and the rating agencies may result in the future the losing of creditability for the sovereign country rating. Another concern is the lack of competition on the rating market with only two global rating agencies occupying 80 % of the entire market. These fakts are calling for a change in the sovereign rating markets.

This thesis examines Darü
lfü
nun Konferanslari which consists of a series of lectures that were delivered by Salih Zeki in 1914 &ndash
1915 in Ottoman State. These lectures were on geometry, its history and especially on the discovery of non-Euclidean geometries. And the purpose of this thesis is to propose the sufficiency and the legitimacy of these lectures as an account on the history of geometry. As a preliminary to analyzing Salih Zeki&rsquo
s lectures, different views on geometry&rsquo
s history and progress will be analyzed and compared. The results of this comparison will be the guide by means of which Darü
lfü
nun Konferanslari will be examined. This thesis also serves as a source that makes Salih Zeki&rsquo
s ideas accessible, by presenting an English summary of his lectures which were originally published in Ottoman Turkish.

Although there is, in general, a significant level of support of projects related to use of renewable resources, in fact realization of the specific projects usually meets with negative attitude of local residents. This negative attitude is often called as NIMBY ("not in my backyard") effect without further research of particular causes. Therefore, in the theoretical part of this diploma thesis NIMBY effect is defined, as well as various attitudes to its interpretation in literature and also the effect of various compensation on changing residents' attitude. In the practical part, this diploma thesis analyses residents' attitude, the existence and strength of NIMBY effect and the effect of compensation on changing residents attitude towards the specific planned project of building WtE in Karviná city (KIC). The results of this analyzation show, that NIMBY effect is detected, but at the same time it is not the main cause of the negative attitude of residents. Moreover, it has been found out, that the offered compensation have not any important influence on the change of residents' attitude.

Zeki Müren is Turkey's beloved queer pop star whose career spans a period between his first radio emission in 1951 and his death during a live television program in 1996. He is a pioneer of 'Turkish Art Music', a trailblazer in utilizing novel mass communication tools, a proud nationalist who donated half of his estate to Military Veterans Organization, and an LGBTQ solidarity symbol whose gender-bending image has been an inspiration to queer individuals in Turkey. Müren's artistic production and his star image contain multiplicity of meanings that have rendered him accessible to publics from various backgrounds, subcultures, and generations. This thesis examines Zeki Müren as a media text that is scattered across music (radio and records), cinema, gazino nightclub performances, and television, during his lifetime, and deconstructed and appropriated by fans, artists, musicians, and media makers after his death. Based on their ideological and representational affordances, these media together create a polysemy - multiple meanings that Müren's star image signifies - whose elements are often in tension with each other, while providing different entry points for different audiences. With the guidance of Richard Dyer's work on intertextuality and structured polysemy of star images, and Henry Jenkin's theory of transmedia storytelling, this research follows the traces of Müren's transformation from his radio days, to cinema, gazino, and television performances, while situating these textual analyses within Turkey's political, media, and LGBTQ histories. In addition, two media components in-production - a feature-length film 'A Prince from Outer Space: Zeki Müren' and a participatory and interactive documentary 'Zeki Müren Hotline' are interwoven into this intertextual and cross-generational conversation, emphasizing the generative polysemy of Müren's star image.

Nedávné studie předpovídají nárůst pasažérů využívajících leteckou dopravu. Tento trend bude vyžadovat zavedení nových leteckých linek, důsledkem čeho bude zhuštěn letový provoz s dopadem hlavně na nápor letišť v metropolitních oblastech. Automatizovaně řízení pojíždení letounu umožní menší rozestupy mezi jednotlivými linkami a zvýšení příletové a odletové kapacity letišť. Tato práce se zabývá návrhem modelu pohybu dopravního letounu po zemi s ohledem na různé provozní podmínky jako např.: stav povrchu vzletové a přistávací dráhy za různého počasí a lišící se provozní parametry letounu (tlak v pneumatikách, zatížení podvozků a pod.). Validace modelu byla založena na sledování poloměru zatáčky pro různe uhly natočení přední podvozkové nohy. Výsledky simulace byly validovany vzhledem k analytickému modelu Ackermanovy geometrie a na specifikační dokument od Boeingu určený pro plánovaní pohybu letounu na letišti. Výsledky prokázaly přesnost modelu a potvrdily jeho možné nasazení pro simulace v reálnem čase.

Content of diploma project is primarily theme of natural buildings. It is complex subject of materials, technologies, environmental conditions and most of all integration into the landscape knowledges. Manmade living spaces that respect the laws of nature and friendly approach to the environment, maybe so called as Bio Houses. Surname Bio Solar Houses are named those with maximal use of solar energy. Part of this project is overview of various types of natural buildings, possibilities of using natural materials and approaches to the use of solar power. Own design presents study of the family earth house and garden project of a plot. For project was selected building side in a calm location of Prague Troja. This sloping plot is oriented at South so it gives the best conditions for this building concept. The house benefits from all positives of the earth buildings. Mainly perfect thermal insulation and acoustics properties, which are connected with saving energy. There is moreover interior accumulative wall, which increases heat gains during the winter season. Ventilation system, heating and cooling use vertical ground heat pump and ground heat exchanger. Hot water is prepared by Solar panels with support of photovoltaic system. Rain water is collected for further use. Garden reflects the character of family house, natural conditions of the place and the purpose of use. It is designed for relaxation, active leisure time and for utility. Important role plays a psychological effect coming from choice of elements, especially small garden architecture, materials, tree planting, perennials and interactions of overall composition. The plot has complex design with use of natural environmental properties to create space for living. According to the laws of nature garden never serves only for humans, it is also home for many representatives of small animals and vegetation.

La guadua Angustifolia es planta arborescente abundante en la zona de los cafetales del Viejo Caldas (Colombia), es una especie de bambú, una caña que crece galopantemente (puede llegar hasta los 21cm en un día) y adquiere su máxima resistencia a los seis años. Las fibras de la guadua son muy resistentes. Simón Vélez relata: «los esfuerzos de tracción para cualquier tipo de material en estructuras son los más difíciles de resolver y su relación peso resistencia sólo es comparable con las obtenidas por aleaciones de metales de la era espacial. A pesar que hay que inmunizarla, la guadua es un milagro». Simón Vélez es un arquitecto reconocido mundialmente que diseña y construye sus edificios con un material muy conocido en Sur América, el bambú colombiano, cuyo nombre científico es Guadua angustifolia conocido popularmente como guadua en Colombia. Es bastante valorado en Europa y Asia. Son más de veinte años los que Vélez lleva empleando este 'acero vegetal,' como él mismo lo llama, en residencias, puentes, iglesias y todo tipo de estructuras. La guadua siempre ha estado presente en su propuesta, más aún durante esta última etapa de Simón Vélez. Esta investigación pretende señalar el aporte de su obra con guadua a lo que podría llamarse «Arquitectura colombiana ». Proceso evolutivo del sistema constructivo de Simón Veléz: La evolución del sistema constructivo utilizado por Vélez ha sido un factor determinante en la producción de su obra, que se divide en dos etapas igual que su trayectoria profesional: la primera con la madera y la segunda la experiencia con la guadua. El proceso constructivo implementado por Simón Vélez, puede ser estructurado en tres grandes líneas: arquitectura, construcción e ingeniería, que, aunque siempre han estado unidas, es necesario saber diferenciar claramente, estudiarlas y por supuesto, analizarlas por separado.
ARQUITECTURA
En su primera etapa es característica la manera como afronta las construcciones desde el punto de vista espacial. Existe una preocupación constante hacia la búsqueda de un diseño «complejo,» sobre todo en la manera como resuelve las secciones; no obstante, a nivel planimétrico adopta una posición más «simple». A esta etapa corresponden sus primeras obras, que están representadas en viviendas unifamiliares construidas la gran mayoría en madera aserrada. La segunda etapa de su producción se inicia a partir de su descubrimiento, con la inyección del mortero de cemento portland en los entrenudos de la guadua, donde proyecta una arquitectura mucho más «estudiada» pero a la vez más «fluida». También hay que resaltar que sus últimos proyectos obedecen a emplazamientos sobre terrenos llanos y no de topografía variable, como los primeros. Durante la última etapa, finales de la década de los noventa y en la actualidad lo más destacable e interesante de su propuesta desde el punto de vista arquitectónico es el propio diseño y la solución de las «cubiertas». La cubierta en sus últimas obras ha pasado a convertirse en un tema de «diseño especial» dentro del edificio.
CONSTRUCCIÓN
Es importante anotar que Simón Vélez además de un excelente arquitecto es un gran constructor. Apoyado en su oficio de constructor ha conseguido grandes logros. En su primera etapa, Simón Vélez utilizaba la madera aserrada como material principal hasta su iniciación con la guadua, habiendo conseguido realizar medianas estructuras. Es después, donde apoyado en su innovación con la inyección de mortero cemento, que inicia su segunda etapa, como él mismo explica: Hace unos veinte años diseño pequeña estructura en guadua. La experiencia que tenía trabajando con la madera no le servía para un material tan diferente. Debía construir un voladizo que exige esfuerzos a tracción, pero no encontraba cómo hacer una conexión para un material hueco como la guadua. De repente se le ocurrió que llenando de cemento la cámara del entrenudo donde ocurría dicha conexión, que a su vez tenía tornillos de hierro, podría funcionar y funcionó, Ese fue el descubrimiento que partió en dos su oficio como diseñador y constructor.
CUBIERTAS
Los acabados y el diseño interior en sus últimas construcciones se han convertido en un factor clave y predominante en la obra de Vélez, toda vez que desde el punto de vista de interiorismo se ha traducido en una propuesta interesante de sobriedad y color. Además de producir una sensación de confort en las edificaciones si tenemos en cuenta el contraste que produce un material como el bambú con una superficie irregular, se convierte además en una excelente alternativa, en cuanto permite la libre elección del tipo de acabado de pintura y color. Estas obras son un buen ejemplo de arquitectura de interiores en lo que se refiere a decoración e interiorismo. Es importante recalcar la razón de ser de la construcción de este tipo de cubiertas, aparte de ser una decisión de diseño. Generalmente son cubiertas solucionadas a dos y/o cuatro aguas, además de ofrecer los resultados señalados, obedecen a una razón de tipo técnico, ya que la cubierta, aparte de convertirse en un «tema de diseño» dentro del edificio, tiene una connotación especial desde el punto de vista estructural. Por ser la cubierta un elemento «muy pesado» dentro de la estructura, le concede una mayor rigidez y estabilidad al edificio, que le permite un mejor comportamiento estructural. Finalmente hay que decir también que la guadua es un material «ideal» para realizar los diseños con grandes voladizos en sus cubiertas, que ya es una constante en su obra.
INGENIERÍA
Es necesario explicar el avance significativo que ha logrado en sus proyectos, sobre todo los que se refieren a la última etapa o etapa actual. En un principio Vélez utiliza la guadua trabajando sólo a compresión, con uniones simples y venciendo luces máximas de 10 metros. El siguiente paso fue combinar la guadua con otros tipos de maderas como el aliso o el mangle se encuentra de 9 ó 10 m de longitud frente a los 2.5 o 3 m de la madera rolliza que se consigue generalmente como material industrial lo que le permite seguir evolucionando en el sistema constructivo, con otro tipo de construcciones mucho audaces.
GRANDES ESTRUCTURAS
Durante la última etapa de su obra, desde su experiencia en la Expo de Hannover -Alemania en 2000 con el pabellón Zeri, El sistema utilizado ha sido suficientemente probado a través de cálculos estructurales, pruebas de ingeniería y pruebas de carga de todo tipo, a las que fue sometido el «Pabellón Zeri». Al edificio, que inicialmente se construyó en Manizales-Colombia se le practicaron pruebas por parte de ingenieros alemanes de la universidad de Stuttgart. Es necesario anotar, que sus últimas obras corresponden a edificios de «granTamaño», en el campo de la construcción y la ingeniería. Entre estas, podemos mencionar el Pabellón Zeri, la sede para la Carder (Pereira), algunos puentes (Colombia China), un complejo hotelero (China) y una iglesia (Pereira). Las grandes estructuras que ha proyectado difícilmente se podrían construir con un material diferente a la guadua, ya que sus propiedades físicas son tan extraordinarias que lo convierten en un material «ideal», para realizar los diseños con grandes voladizos en sus cubiertas. La tesis ha servido para demostrar que la "Guadua Angustifolia" es un material con propiedades mecánicas suficientes, que le permiten participar en obras de gran dimensión, dando lugar así a la ingeniería de la guadua.
Simón Vélez is a Colombian architect whose work is very uncommon: he designs and constructs with Guadua angustifolia, the Colombian bamboo (known there simply as 'guadua'), which is a well-known resource in South America and an increasingly appreciated raw material in Europe and Asia. Simón Vélez has used this 'vegetal steel' to raise houses, bridges, churches and many other structures for more than twenty years. He was born in Manizales (Colombia) in 1949. He studied architecture and art at the Universidad de Los Andes in Bogotá between 1969 and 1975, and he graduated there in 1980 as an architect. Simón Vélez was born into a family of builders andthus his first interest was focused upon the cons-tructive tradition of the coffee-producing re-gion of Viejo Caldas, although he later focused on primitive and popular constructive traditions.
Guadua has always been present in the proposals of Simón Vélez, even more during his last epoch to the extent that "he has been engaged in bringing up again guadua as a constructive mate-rial and as a result his original and exclu-sively Colombian architecture is recognized and demanded abroad." The architecture of Simón Vélez has its own identity. Its main traits are its whole contextualization within the landscape something we can refer to as local environment architecture (arquitectura del lugar) ,its use of the Colombian tradition as architectonic language and, what's more important, its recovery of the guadua as a constructive material. Besides his experimentation with guadua and his trust on its possibilities guadua means poverty in Colombia , Simón Vélez has been a forerunner in the combi- nation of this bamboo with other materials and techniques. Simón Vélez himself has been decisive for our understanding of the goodness and possi-bilities of the guadua due, in part, to it being a constant and a part of the history of his own city Manizales. Evolution of his constructive system the evolution of the constructive system proposed by Simón Vélez has been a critical factor for his work, which can be divided into two phases: a first one dominated by his use of wood and a second one characterized by his use of guadua. Despite the continuum architecture, cons-truction and engineering constitute in the work of Simón Vélez, we will consider these three lines separately in our analysis.
ARCHITECTURE
The first phase in the work of Simón Vélez is characterized by a peculiar spatial point of view: he had a permanent concern for searching a 'complex' design, above all for solving the sections, though his plans still were 'simple.' During this first phase he built sawn-wood one-family houses, usually located in settings with variable topography. The second phase of his work begins with his discovery of the possibility of refilling the between-nodes gaps of the guadua stems with concrete, what allowed him to propose a much more 'studied' and 'fluid' architecture. His experimentation with bamboo was first applied to rural constructions such as saladeros, enclosures or store rooms, and it gradually shifted to a much more pragmatic architecture placed in plains. The investigations of Simón Vélez on structures of wood and guadua have progressed at the same time as he developed a new constructive system based on 'mechanical unions' (using different systems of screws, washers and bolts), which allowed him being even bolder.
Since the late 1990s Simón Vélez turned his attention to designing and solving the problems of roofs, which became a 'special design' theme within the buildings.
CONSTRUCTION
Simón Vélez has also succeeded as a constructor. He used sawn wood as the main material for his first buildings, but he later shifted to guadua, with which he was able to construct medium-sized structures until he discovered the technique of refilling the bamboo with concrete.
ROOFS
The process for constructing roofs Simón Vélez uses is as follows: - once the structure of guadua (cerchas) is assembled, a metallic electro-welded mesh (malla de vena) is attached to it - a 3cm-thick layer of 'poor mortar' (made ofPortland concrete with a dissolution 1:2) is poured on the metallic electro-welded mesh, which is held within the concrete once it is forged- then a 2mm-thick asphalt net is applied over the whole mortar surface to waterproof the roof-a 15cmx15cm wire (alambre dulce) grid is applied over the asphalt net to allow a better fixing of the mud tiles lastly This process of construction and waterproof also results in the finish of the inner surface of the roof, which has become a key and prevailing element in the work of Simón Vélez. At the same time it has become an interes-ting, temperate but colorful proposal from the point of view of interior decoration. The contrast of bamboo against the irregular, inner surface of the roof also produces a sense of comfort, whereas it becomes an excellent deco- rative alternative since it permits the election of color and kind of finish of the paint. But roofs are not only a 'theme of design' in the work of Simón Vélez; they are an essential technical element for the building from the structural point of view. Roofs are very weighty structural elements which give rigidity and stability to the building, allowing a better structural performance. Simón Vélez has taken advantage of the lightness of the guadua stems to design and construct two- and/or four-slopes roofs with large projecting wings, a feature which have become characteristic of his work.
ENGINEERING
On his earliest works, Simón Vélez used guadua in a very simplistic manner working by compression with simple unions. He was only able to reach maximum lights of 10m, and thence able to project more complex structures with larger projecting wings, since his discovery of the injection of concrete within the guadua stems. His next step was combining guadua with other woods such as alder or mangrove-tree (they usually are 9-10m in length, much more than the 2.5-3m of the cylin-drical wood available in the market), which permit this constructive system to continue evolving with new, bolder constructions.
LARGE STRUCTURES
Since the invitation Simón Vélez received to build a guadua pavilion to represent the ZERI at the international fair at Hanover (Germany), different structural calculations, engineering and load tests have been applied to this material concluding that with this "[.] mixed constructive technique where the structure is subjected to
traction, the balanced interaction of the struc-tural elements makes the building function and have stability as a whole, satisfactorily achie-ving its structural requirements." His last pro-jects involve large masterpieces of construc-tion and engineering: the ZERI pavilion, the CARDER headquarters in Pereira (Colombia),bridges in Colombia and China, a hotel complex in China, and a church in Pereira (Colombia). He has also desig-ned the future airport for Manizales (Colombia). After the analysis of the work of Simón Vélez we can conclude that guadua has been a critical element in his architecture, above all in the last years, when he has shifted his atten-tion to roofs. The large structures he has lately projec- ted wouldn't have been constructed without a material like guadua, whose physical properties are ideal for designing and constructing roofs with large projecting wings. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that guadua has mechanical properties enough for being applied in large constructions and consequently giving rise to an engineering of guadua.

La structure des romans du corpus de cette these ont impose la necessite de restituer l'histoire de la grece sur la base des allusions existant dans les textes; allusion qui non seulement repondent a l'intention de legitimer la memoire collective du passe recent, mais constribuent aussi a l'evolution de la structure fictionnelle. L'etude de l'ideologie qui informe l'intertexte a permis de comprendre comment elle fonctionne dans le cadre du recit fictionnel. La preponderance des actes publics dans les romans a these apparait comme l'une des caracteristiques aux cotes de l'intertexte doctrinal, du ssyteme de valeurs dualiste et de la regle d'action implicite adresse aux lecteurs, le recours au sacre et au mythe dans le cadre du discours ideologique ne justifie pas l'assimilation de l'un aux autres. Il n'est qu'un aspect de l'intertexte a breve echeance, la representation l'evolution des relations des personnages de sexe oppose relevent de la lente temporalite des structures mentales et constituent un domaine de pensee separe de l'ideologie. C'est d'aillerus la uns de raisons pour lesquelles les textes en question ont fait des bestsellers. Les revendications de la memoire collective par la textualisation de l'ideologie se fait de facon plus efficace lorsque les structures mentales se maintiennent
The structure of the three novels that form the corpus of this thesis have forced us to restore the history of modern greece to the axiom of allusions that exists in the texts; allusions that not only aswer to the intention og legitimizing the collective memory of of the recent past, but which also contribute to the evolution of the fictional narrative. The relationships between textualized ideology and myth and the sacred have made the links of dependence between them as well as the distinctions which are manifest each time that certaim notions which come from different regists coexist. Explicit the study of gender relations has been imposed by the themes of no vels themselves. Representation and evolution within the narrative of relations between the sexes arises from slow temporality of mental structures and constitutes a a field of thought which is s parate from ideology

Generalmente son cubiertas solucionadas a dos y/o cuatro aguas, además de ofrecer los resultados señalados, obedecen a una razón de tipo técnico, ya que la cubierta, aparte de convertirse en un «tema de diseño» dentro del edificio, tiene una connotación especial desde el punto de vista estructural. Por ser la cubierta un elemento «muy pesado» dentro de la estructura, le concede una mayor rigidez y estabilidad al edificio, que le permite un mejor comportamiento estructural. Finalmente hay que decir también que la guadua es un material «ideal» para realizar los diseños con grandes voladizos en sus cubiertas, que ya es una constante en su obra.INGENIERÍAEs necesario explicar el avance significativo que ha logrado en sus proyectos, sobre todo los que se refieren a la última etapa o etapa actual. En un principio Vélez utiliza la guadua trabajando sólo a compresión, con uniones simples y venciendo luces máximas de 10 metros. El siguiente paso fue combinar la guadua con otros tipos de maderas como el aliso o el mangle se encuentra de 9 ó 10 m de longitud frente a los 2.5 o 3 m de la madera rolliza que se consigue generalmente como material industrial lo que le permite seguir evolucionando en el sistema constructivo, con otro tipo de construcciones mucho audaces.GRANDES ESTRUCTURASDurante la última etapa de su obra, desde su experiencia en la Expo de Hannover -Alemania en 2000 con el pabellón Zeri, El sistema utilizado ha sido suficientemente probado a través de cálculos estructurales, pruebas de ingeniería y pruebas de carga de todo tipo, a las que fue sometido el «Pabellón Zeri». Al edificio, que inicialmente se construyó en Manizales-Colombia se le practicaron pruebas por parte de ingenieros alemanes de la universidad de Stuttgart. Es necesario anotar, que sus últimas obras corresponden a edificios de «granTamaño», en el campo de la construcción y la ingeniería. Entre estas, podemos mencionar el Pabellón Zeri, la sede para la Carder (Pereira), algunos puentes (Colombia China), un complejo hotelero (China) y una iglesia (Pereira). Las grandes estructuras que ha proyectado difícilmente se podrían construir con un material diferente a la guadua, ya que sus propiedades físicas son tan extraordinarias que lo convierten en un material «ideal», para realizar los diseños con grandes voladizos en sus cubiertas. La tesis ha servido para demostrar que la "Guadua Angustifolia" es un material con propiedades mecánicas suficientes, que le permiten participar en obras de gran dimensión, dando lugar así a la ingeniería de la guadua.
Simón Vélez is a Colombian architect whose work is very uncommon: he designs and constructs with Guadua angustifolia, the Colombian bamboo (known there simply as 'guadua'), which is a well-known resource in South America and an increasingly appreciated raw material in Europe and Asia. Simón Vélez has used this 'vegetal steel' to raise houses, bridges, churches and many other structures for more than twenty years. He was born in Manizales (Colombia) in 1949. He studied architecture and art at the Universidad de Los Andes in Bogotá between 1969 and 1975, and he graduated there in 1980 as an architect. Simón Vélez was born into a family of builders andthus his first interest was focused upon the cons-tructive tradition of the coffee-producing re-gion of Viejo Caldas, although he later focused on primitive and popular constructive traditions.Guadua has always been present in the proposals of Simón Vélez, even more during his last epoch to the extent that "he has been engaged in bringing up again guadua as a constructive mate-rial and as a result his original and exclu-sively Colombian architecture is recognized and demanded abroad." The architecture of Simón Vélez has its own identity. Its main traits are its whole contextualization within the landscape something we can refer to as local environment architecture (arquitectura del lugar) ,its use of the Colombian tradition as architectonic language and, what's more important, its recovery of the guadua as a constructive material. Besides his experimentation with guadua and his trust on its possibilities guadua means poverty in Colombia , Simón Vélez has been a forerunner in the combi- nation of this bamboo with other materials and techniques. Simón Vélez himself has been decisive for our understanding of the goodness and possi-bilities of the guadua due, in part, to it being a constant and a part of the history of his own city Manizales. Evolution of his constructive system the evolution of the constructive system proposed by Simón Vélez has been a critical factor for his work, which can be divided into two phases: a first one dominated by his use of wood and a second one characterized by his use of guadua. Despite the continuum architecture, cons-truction and engineering constitute in the work of Simón Vélez, we will consider these three lines separately in our analysis.ARCHITECTUREThe first phase in the work of Simón Vélez is characterized by a peculiar spatial point of view: he had a permanent concern for searching a 'complex' design, above all for solving the sections, though his plans still were 'simple.' During this first phase he built sawn-wood one-family houses, usually located in settings with variable topography. The second phase of his work begins with his discovery of the possibility of refilling the between-nodes gaps of the guadua stems with concrete, what allowed him to propose a much more 'studied' and 'fluid' architecture. His experimentation with bamboo was first applied to rural constructions such as saladeros, enclosures or store rooms, and it gradually shifted to a much more pragmatic architecture placed in plains. The investigations of Simón Vélez on structures of wood and guadua have progressed at the same time as he developed a new constructive system based on 'mechanical unions' (using different systems of screws, washers and bolts), which allowed him being even bolder.Since the late 1990s Simón Vélez turned his attention to designing and solving the problems of roofs, which became a 'special design' theme within the buildings.CONSTRUCTIONSimón Vélez has also succeeded as a constructor. He used sawn wood as the main material for his first buildings, but he later shifted to guadua, with which he was able to construct medium-sized structures until he discovered the technique of refilling the bamboo with concrete.ROOFSThe process for constructing roofs Simón Vélez uses is as follows: - once the structure of guadua (cerchas) is assembled, a metallic electro-welded mesh (malla de vena) is attached to it - a 3cm-thick layer of 'poor mortar' (made ofPortland concrete with a dissolution 1:2) is poured on the metallic electro-welded mesh, which is held within the concrete once it is forged- then a 2mm-thick asphalt net is applied over the whole mortar surface to waterproof the roof-a 15cmx15cm wire (alambre dulce) grid is applied over the asphalt net to allow a better fixing of the mud tiles lastly This process of construction and waterproof also results in the finish of the inner surface of the roof, which has become a key and prevailing element in the work of Simón Vélez. At the same time it has become an interes-ting, temperate but colorful proposal from the point of view of interior decoration. The contrast of bamboo against the irregular, inner surface of the roof also produces a sense of comfort, whereas it becomes an excellent deco- rative alternative since it permits the election of color and kind of finish of the paint. But roofs are not only a 'theme of design' in the work of Simón Vélez; they are an essential technical element for the building from the structural point of view. Roofs are very weighty structural elements which give rigidity and stability to the building, allowing a better structural performance. Simón Vélez has taken advantage of the lightness of the guadua stems to design and construct two- and/or four-slopes roofs with large projecting wings, a feature which have become characteristic of his work.ENGINEERINGOn his earliest works, Simón Vélez used guadua in a very simplistic manner working by compression with simple unions. He was only able to reach maximum lights of 10m, and thence able to project more complex structures with larger projecting wings, since his discovery of the injection of concrete within the guadua stems. His next step was combining guadua with other woods such as alder or mangrove-tree (they usually are 9-10m in length, much more than the 2.5-3m of the cylin-drical wood available in the market), which permit this constructive system to continue evolving with new, bolder constructions.LARGE STRUCTURESSince the invitation Simón Vélez received to build a guadua pavilion to represent the ZERI at the international fair at Hanover (Germany), different structural calculations, engineering and load tests have been applied to this material concluding that with this "[.] mixed constructive technique where the structure is subjected totraction, the balanced interaction of the struc-tural elements makes the building function and have stability as a whole, satisfactorily achie-ving its structural requirements." His last pro-jects involve large masterpieces of construc-tion and engineering: the ZERI pavilion, the CARDER headquarters in Pereira (Colombia),bridges in Colombia and China, a hotel complex in China, and a church in Pereira (Colombia). He has also desig-ned the future airport for Manizales (Colombia). After the analysis of the work of Simón Vélez we can conclude that guadua has been a critical element in his architecture, above all in the last years, when he has shifted his atten-tion to roofs. The large structures he has lately projec- ted wouldn't have been constructed without a material like guadua, whose physical properties are ideal for designing and constructing roofs with large projecting wings. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that guadua has mechanical properties enough for being applied in large constructions and consequently giving rise to an engineering of guadua.

« Imagerie médicale et création artistique » participe à l'étude sur les liens qui se sont tissés entre art et médecine, depuis les représentations préhistoriques du corps, jusqu'aux techniques modernes de l'imagerie médicale. Mon expérience double d'artiste plasticienne et de médecin radiologue, a été le point de départ de cette réflexion pour ce travail de recherche. J'ai souhaité comprendre comment l'imagerie médicale pouvait s'inscrire dans l'histoire des représentations artistiques du corps humain, comme sujet ou comme matériau, et comme moyen d'investigation cognitif d'étude de la production et de la réception de l'œuvre d'art. La création artistique se retrouve être sujet et objet. Il s'agit d'étudier le corps des œuvres intégrant l'imagerie médicale à la lumières des connaissances anatomiques de chaque époque, et des possibilités techniques d'appropriation. Le développement très rapide de l'imagerie médicale a également permis aux neurosciences de progresser, et d'étendre leurs études à des domaines cognitifs intéressant la création artistique. Elles commencent à percer les processus les plus intimes de la création artistique, à décrire les différents mécanismes cérébraux mis en œuvre lors de l'élaboration d'artefacts artistiques et de leur réception. Je ferai donc appel à des scientifiques neurocogniticiens qui se sont particulièrement intéressés à la création artistique tels Semir Zeki, Jean-Pierre Changeux, Antonio R. Damasio, pour tenter de préciser comment se met en place le processus artistique et de quelle manière il peut, certaines fois, être associé à diverses pathologies. L'imagerie médicale a considérablement évolué ces dernières années et se développe encore très rapidement. C'est elle qui a permis le développement des neurosciences grâce surtout à l'imagerie fonctionnelle
« Medical imaging and artistic relation » is concerned by the relationship forged between art and medicine, since prehistoric representations of the body, till modern medical imaging. My double experience of radiologist and visual artist was the starting point of this reflection for this research. I aimed to understand how medical imaging contributed, over history, to the artistic representation of the human body, be it as subject or as material, as well as it is a way of cognitive investigation in the process of creating and adapting an artwork. Artistic creation is both a subject and an object. I look up at the corpus of current techniques and the artworks incorporating medical imaging based of the anatomical knowledge available at a given period. The rapid development of medical imaging techniques contributed to the development of neurosciences and to the understanding of the cognitive areas related to artistic creation. The neurosciences are allowing to analyze the most intimate processes of artistic creation, and to describe the different brain mechanisms, used while developing and implementing artistic artifacts. I will therefore look at neurocogniticians scientists who were particularly interested in the process of artistic creation, such Semir Zeki, Jean-Pierre Changeux, Antonio R. Damasio, aiming to clarify how the artistic process is generated, and how it could, at times, be associated with various pathologies. Medical imaging has evolved considerably in recent years and is still progressing very quickly. Functional imaging has therefore enabled considerably the development of neurosciences

Security and race have historically been entangled in the politics of nation-building, whereby national security discourses have constructed the ‘public’ whom it should protect as ‘white’ while demonizing persons of colour as a threat to that public. In the current war against terrorism, these racialized discourses, underwritten by a colonial logic, have materialized through the symbolic and literal displacement of Muslim persons. Under this imperative of national security, both existing and novel legislations have either been suspended, contorted, or implemented to be used against Muslims, or anyone who visibly appears Muslim. Security certificates are one of such judicial tools. This thesis seeks to explore the experiences of securitization, analyzing how this legislation strips the subjects of the security certificate program of their legal rights and social connectedness. To explore this, I interviewed three of the five men from the ‘Secret Trial Five’ cases and some of their family members. I investigate how securitization manifests in the lives of those who have been securitized, exploring the practices that are used to maintain and reinforce the othering and the displacement of Muslim populations.

This diploma thesis deals with the influence of long fiber optic paths on the polarization state of light and their use for powering polarization sensors. The aim of the diploma thesis was to design the arrangement of optical fiber components so that the polarization properties of light at the end of the path are further usable for sensory purposes. Four partial measurements with a long path (in a laboratory setting, laying in the ground, on a curtain, under the influence of external influence) and one measurement without a path under the influence of external influence were designed. The overall measurement results demonstrate that for the functional power supply of long-distance sensor systems, an existing single-mode fiber can be used (laid by laying in the ground), into which a light source for a given sensor system would be multiplexed. In the discussion, all types of measurements are analyzed and compared with each other. Finally, the overall result is summarized and applications are described in which such a sensor system could be used.

This diploma theses focuses on the possibility of federalization of Ukraine or autonomy of Donbas in order to ensure the stability of Ukrainian political system and societal cohesion. The bases for this is the analysis of the cleavages in both, Ukrainian society and its political space. The analysis is bases on definition of ideological dimensions presented by Arend Lijphart with some modifications with respect to is applicability on Ukrainian situation. This part of the theses therefore analyzes the language and religion questions, issue of foreign policy orientation, democratization and deoligarchization of Ukraine, the support for Ukrainian independence and territorial cohesion or the socioeconomic differences. On the bases of this analysis and the discussion on the advantages and disadvantages of such solutions for divided countries, the final part of the theses discusses the suitability of federalization of Ukraine and the autonomy for Donbas. Attention will be paid also to the question of the conditions for the stable functioning of unitary model in Ukraine. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Strangers in a Strange Land: American Lives Under the Soviet Gaze By David Perry This paper aims to shed light on the lives of American immigrants living in the Soviet Union during the 1930s, while also discussing the role that state propaganda, presented through English-language periodicals such as Moscow News, played within the immigrant community. This paper provides needed analysis of an under-researched population in the study of immigration in the modern era. By focusing on primary sources produced for the consumption of the community as a whole, as opposed to individual experiences found in memoirs or letters, this paper attempts to create generalizable information regarding the social and political pressures facing the Soviet-American immigrant community of the 1930s. In the second chapter of this paper, I construct a profile of the immigrant community and trace the historical development of the community, from the United States in the early years of the Great Depression to their emigration to the Soviet Union. I also work to describe the ways that factors such as race, gender, and class affected the experiences of the immigrant community. This paper utilizes a conceptual historical approach, particularly in its third chapter, to develop an understanding of the way that concepts important...

Title: The inspiration of Richard Rohr for pastoral care in our country This diploma work deals the movement of Christian men (men's movement) in the Czech Republic. Development and many activity forms of this movement are bind with influence of American Franciscan Richard Rohr, especially with his thoughts and praxis in male spirituality. In the first chapter I pay special attention to the specific problems of men's life in the Church and in the society. The second chapter deals with Richard Rohr. Here I present his thoughts about the integral (spiritual and mental) adolescence of a man and methods of their implementation in real life. The third chapter describes the formation and development process of men's movement and it's activities. It also analyzes the forms of cooperation with R. Rohr and his influence on that process. In the fourth chapter I appraise men's movement from the two points of view: the common requirements of pastoral care and the psychological preconditions of man's wholesome development. The conclusion of this work confirms contribution of the Christian men's movement to the spiritual develop of men which means contribution also to the pastoral care in our country. Keywords: Richard Rohr, men's movement, Christian, pastoral care, male spirituality

The major aim of the thesis is an analysis of an accretion of dust originating from breakup events of Emilkowalski and YC2 asterodial families. Using a numerical integrator we follow orbits of individual dust particles, some of which will result in an impact onto one of the planets in the Solar system. Employing some non-trivial transformation we compare recorded impacts onto the Earth to available dust measurements values acquired in antarctic ice-cores. We also analyse the dynamical e ffects of Poynting-Robertson e ffect and their influence on the dust particles of variable sizes.

Zhao Zei-Chan was the headline figure who revived the research of tablets in Ching Dynasty. He was good at any form of calligraphy, and he was skilled in painting, seal cutting and literature, too. Zhao blended calligraphy and art in one. Japanese calligraphers pay much attention to Zhao’s works and it also caused the study highly on Zhao in Taiwan and China at the same time. In order to know more about Zhao, there were more and more information published. They introduced Zhao’s background, his life story, his creations and learned journals about him. Of course, the more we know about him, the less misunderstanding we will get and we will know him well. In this thesis, I made an introduction about Zhao’s period and time. My main point is to explain Zhao’s contribution in art and thoughts in calligraphy, and I collected lots of Zhao’s letters, paintings, calligraphy, seals and his chronicle to know more about his development in calligraphy. By knowing that, we may have a distinct opinion for what he was and it may be easier to research his works for the later. . We can study any handwriting to learn more, and knowing how and why they were. Of course, there are still lots of doubts waiting for releasing and that is what I have to do in the future.

The main topic of this thesis is the reconstruction of the image of the Turk in the eyes of the citizens of South Moravian towns directly threatened by the Ottoman dangerduring the Ottoman invasions into Moravia in the years 1605, 1663, and 1683. It also attends to the course of the Ottoman expansion to the Middle Europe, to the separate invasions, and damages on dominions Mikulov, Uherský Brod, Strážnice, Hodonín, and Napajedla, and last but not least to the baptizing of captured Turks as one of the ways in which the indigenous population responded to the Turkish danger.

Barbora Chrzová Citizenship Rhetorics in Bosnia and Herzegovina: Enacting Citizenship and Nationality in a Divided Country Abstract: This thesis deals with the rhetorical dimension of citizenship in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The disputed legitimacy of Bosnian statehood, ethnicization of every-day life, and a multilayered citizenship regime which leaves little space for purely civic loyalties to the state, pose an important challenge to the symbolic dimension of Bosnian citizenship. Drawing upon rhetorical approaches to citizenship, this thesis analyses how citizenship was crafted on the discursive level; how various actors formulated the question of 'who is a Bosnian citizen', how their narratives interacted and influenced each other. The thesis specifically focuses on two series of protests, the so-called 'JMBG protests' that took place in June 2013 and the 'Social uprising' which arose in February 2014. The protests challenged the dominant ethno- national framework and represented periods of intensive debates on fundamental questions of citizenship. The analysis has shown that the emptiness of the notion of Bosnian citizenship makes its discursive constructions largely context-dependent and shifting. The boundary between 'the citizens' and 'the elites,' however, appeared as a salient societal cleavage that...

Diplomová práce je rozčleněna do šesti kapitol. V prvních čtyřech kapitolách jsem se pokusila o teoretický vhled do problematiky školství pro mentálně postižené v Severním Porýní-Vestfálsku. V páté kapitole jsem popsala konkrétní příklad fungování školství pro mentálně postižené v Severním Porýní-Vestfálsku, konkrétně v Dortmundu ve výše zmíněné škole. Šestou poslední kapitolu doplňuje závěr, ve kterém jsem zmínila nejdůležitější poznatky, které jsem díky této práci získala a které by mohly být zamyšlením pro naši speciální pedagogiku. První kapitola vytváří přehled základních pojmů, týkajících se školství v Německu a pojmosloví ze speciální pedagogiky. Pomáhá tak v lepší orientaci v dalším textu. Druhá kapitola přináší krátkou informaci o spolkové zemi Severní Porýní- Vestfálsko a stejně i o jejím systému školství. Nechybí pohled na možnosti vzdělávání pro žáky s postižením. Poslední její část se pak zabývá pohledem na definici a klasifikaci mentální retardace z německého pohledu. Třetí poněkud obsáhlejší kapitola pak seznamuje s legislativním rámcem školství pro žáky s mentálním postižením. Podává pohled na doporučení konference ministerstev školství, ze kterých se vychází při vytváření rámcových směrových linií pro těžiště podpory - mentální postižení. Podrobněji je rozebrán i předpis o zjištění...

The theme of the essay is the mapping of the country/land theme in the Hebrew canon from the basic division of the individual word meanings along with brief characteristics and statistics of occurrences of each of these meanings in the canon, through a detailed focus on specific one - the Promised Land. The meaning is monitored in terms of content and theological significance with regard to the storyline of the text. Attention is focused on individual occurrences of words in the Hebrew text and on their specifics, but also on combining elements from the perspective of the entire canon of the Hebrew Bible.

Title of thesis: Inclusion on the ground fighting techniques in the system of close combat in the Army of the Czech Republic. Aim of thesis: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of termination, the risk of injury and severity of selected techniques of fighting on the ground in order to create a theoretical model for the incorporation of new techniques into close combat training in the Army of the Czech Republic. Methods: This thesis is processed by multivariate preferences. IAC group of senior mentors and close combat instructors evaluated using a printed questionnaire completion efficiency, risk of injury and severity of the performance of six combat techniques on the ground in design with no weapon and then in the version with weapons (assault with a knife during the implementation techniques) marks 1 "worst" to 3 "best". To summarize the evaluation I used tables showing the frequency of individual signs and then multiply the resulting frequency value equal to the value of the mark, below which the frequency is. The data obtained from the product of the frequency and the added values allowed us to compare techniques between themselves and determine their mutual order. Results: Despite the chosen criteria evaluated for divergence of selected techniques and access to the results...

In this paper I have examined the differences between the Czech Republic and Israel in the occurrence of breast cancer in women. I have compared the two countries health systems and general socio-economic situation. I have also examined the different risk factors common for the two countries and the prevention efforts. The comparison shows that although seemingly the general health indicators in Israel are better than those of the Czech Republic, the incidence of breast cancer in women is still significantly higher in Israel. I will show that breast cancer is apparently a civilization disease and is rising in all the western, developed countries together with the improvement of economy and health care. As research shows the major risk factor for breast cancer is hormonal dysbalance caused by higher exposure to estrogens. This higher exposure is connected with the modernization process and the changing life style of women in western countries. Thus it is possible to say that living in a modern society in the western countries carries a higher risk for women to develop breast cancer. Although it is also clear that breast cancer is a multifactorial disease and there are certainly factors that we do not know yet that influence the incidence worldwide. Both countries are making a considerable effort mainly in...

In this thesis we provide an updated empirical evidence on the linkage between an exchange rate and foreign direct investments (FDI). On the sample of 40 developing countries receiving FDI flows from five developed OECD econo- mies, we analyse how the strength of exchange rates, exchange rate volatility and currency regime affect FDI. Applying the Hausman-Taylor instrumental variable approach over the analysed period from 1991 to 2010, we have not found unanimous support on the role of exchange rates in influencing FDI. In the thesis, we document that over the last two decades, bilateral exchange rate volatility decreased and this can be assigned to its less-likely influence on FDI. In addition, based on the results of the analysis, we cannot confirm the wealth effect hypothesis that supposes an increase of FDI after real depreciation of developing country's currency. We ascribe this outcome to the development of average real exchange rates of developing countries that exhibited considerable strenghtening during the analysed period. We also find that de facto bilateral fixing of the currencies might be beneficial for FDI flows. The reasoning might lie in the reduction of transaction costs that is linked to credible exchange rates.

Turkey has been part of the history of European integration for the past half century, and during this period the country has become a strong economic and strategic partner of EU as we know it today. The objective of the thesis is to evaluate the extent to which Turkey´s political environment has changed since 1999 when Turkey obtained candidate status. At the same time the thesis examines the effectiveness of EU enlargement conditionality for membership regards to its transformative power. In addition, the author attempts to evaluate a Turkey´s progression of fulfillment of the political criteria for accession. Fulfillment of these conditions is demonstrated on numerous particular events. The main attention is focused on current development in the country that strongly shakes the mutual political dialogue. The theoretical part contains the chapters about the enlargment policy, the criteria for accession focusing on the Copenhagen criteria of the political area, and the accession process itself. It also defines the key concepts related to enlargement policy - europeanization and conditionality. The analytical part deals with internal political developments and changes due to the EU influence as well as with the fulfilling the accession criteria. In the end, there is an attempt to evaluate the Turkey´s accession process, the impact of EU conditionality and the results achieved. The attention is also focused on the evaluation of the Turkey´s perspective of EU membership considering the current developments. Finally, possible alternative options of Turkey-EU relations are outlined.
