Dissertations / Theses on the topic 'NTV REGIME'

The dissertation deals with the phenomenon of hybrid regimes, specifically applied to the case of Kyrgyzstan. The main emphasis is placed on the 2005 Tulip Revolution and the regime of Kurmanbek Bakiyev installed by this event. Applying the theoretical concepts of hybrid regimes and regime change, the dissertation verifies the hypothesis that Kyrgyzstan's post-2005 political system retained its hybrid character and kept being neither a democracy nor an authoritarian regime. In this light, the Tulip Revolution brought about only a change of the leadership (as usual in coups d'état), not regime change (as might have been ushered by a democratic revolution).

O objetivo geral da pesquisa foi associar os polimorfismos do gene HLA-G (região 3\' NT) com a coinfecção HIV/HCV e com os grupos (HIV, HCV e controles saudáveis). Trata-se de um estudo transversal, comparativo, descritivo. Participaram do estudo, 560 indivíduos, sendo 156 controles saudáveis, 102 coinfetados HIV/HCV, 186 infectados pelo HIV e 116 por HCV. Para a identificação dos polimorfismos, o DNA genômico foi extraído do sangue total e a genotipagem feita por PCR e visualizada em gel de poliacrilamida a 7%, no qual o polimorfismo de 14pb foi identificado, e por sequenciamento os outros sete SNPs. Os resultados sociodemográficos apontam que a amostra na sua grande maioria foi composta por indivíduos adultos e do sexo masculino. No que diz respeito à cor da pele, na comparação entre os grupos HCV e HIV/HCV, observou-se um maior número de coinfectados apresentando a cor preta e parda do que nos monoinfectados (P=0,0001). Com relação à categoria de exposição para aquisição do HIV, na comparação entre os grupos HIV e HIV/HCV, observou-se diferença significante na transmissão por via heterossexual, sendo sua frequência maior no grupo HIV (P=0,0000). No caso da comparação entre os grupos HCV e HIV/HCV, observou-se também diferença na transmissão heterossexual, sendo sua frequência significantemente maior no grupo HIV/HCV (P=0,0001). Quanto aos achados relacionados ao genótipo do HCV, na comparação entre os grupos HCV e HIV/HCV, o genótipo 1a apresentou frequência maior nos coinfectados (P=0,0001). No que diz respeito à carga viral do HIV, na comparação entre os grupos HIV e HIV/HCV, o grupo da monoinfecção apresentou maior carga viral do que o grupo da coinfecção (P=0,0350). Com relação ao grau de fibrose hepática, na comparação entre os grupos HCV e HIV/HCV, o grupo da coinfecção tem mais fibrose leve do que o grupo da monoinfecção (P=0,0009). Quanto aos polimorfismos genéticos da região 3\' NT do HLA-G, foi encontrado que o genótipo de heterozigose Del/Ins de 14 pb apresentou diferença significante nos indivíduos coinfectados pelo HIV/HCV (P=0,0216) quando comparados com o grupo controle. Em relação ao SNP +3003, a comparação dos grupos HCV e controle saudável mostrou que alelo +3003T apresentou uma frequência significantemente maior no grupo HCV (P=0,0147); o genótipo +3003C/T apresentou uma frequência maior no grupo controle (P=0,0095); o genótipo +3003T/T estava maior no grupo HCV (P=0,0095). A comparação entre os grupos HIV e HCV mostrou que a frequência do alelo +3003C estava maior no grupo HIV (P=0,0463); e o genótipo +3003T/T apresentou uma frequência maior no grupo HCV (P=0,0494). A frequência do genótipo +3187A/A estava maior no grupo HIV/HCV em comparação ao HIV (P=0,0193); e do +3187A/G estava maior no grupo HIV (P=0,0187). O genótipo +3196C/G apresentou frequência significamente maior no grupo HIV do que no controle saudável (P=0,0213). A UTR-10, na comparação entre os grupos HIV e controle, mostrou frequência maior no grupo HIV (P=0,0044); quando comparados os grupos HIV/HCV e HIV, frequência foi maior no grupo HIV (P=0,0300) e na comparação entre os grupos HIV e HCV, sua frequência também foi maior no grupo HIV (P=0,0140). A UTR-4, na comparação dos grupos HCV e controle saudável, revelou uma frequência maior no grupo controle (P=0,0147). A UTR-9, na comparação dos grupos HIV/HCV e HIV, mostrou frequência maior no grupo HIV/HCV (P=0,0460). Em relação aos dados clínicos, a presença do alelo T na posição +3035 foi significantemente associada à maior carga viral do HCV, acima de 400.000 cópias/mL (P=0,0244). Em relação aos tipos de genótipos do HCV, a presença do alelo +3027C foi associada ao subtipo 1a do HCV (P=0,0109). Adicionalmente, a presença do genótipo C/C na posição +3027 também foi significantemente associada com o subtipo 1a do HCV (P=0,0015). Ainda, o alelo A do SNP +3187 foi significantemente associado com os outros genótipos do HCV, excluindo o 1a (P=0,0369). Embora não esteja totalmente esclarecida a função do gene HLA-G, estudos têm sido desenvolvidos para melhor elucidar sua função nos contextos fisiológicos, como gestação, e patológicos, como tumores, transplantes, doenças inflamatórias e infecciosas. Tais estudos procuram ampliar o conhecimento sobre o sistema imunológico e contribuem para o desenvolvimento de novas estratégias diagnósticas e terapêuticas. Os resultados do presente estudo contribuem para a ampliação do conhecimento sobre os polimorfismos da região 3\' NT do gene HLA-G, na coinfecção HIV/HCV. Como também, na melhoria da assistência de enfermagem que deve buscar reduzir a morbimortalidade pela referida patologia. Porém, ainda há um longo percurso a ser percorrido na compreensão dos fatores imunogenéticos envolvidos na coinfecção pelo HIV/HCV
The general objective of the research was to associate the polymorphism of the gene HLA-G (region 3\' NT) with the co-infection HIV/HCV and with the groups (HIV, HCV and healthy control). It is a cross-sectional, comparative, descriptive study. 560 individuals participated of the study, being 156 healthy control individuals, 102 co- infected HIV/HCV, 186 infected by HIV and 116 by HCV. For identifying the polymorphisms, the genomic DNA was extracted from the total blood and the genotyping was made by PCR and visualized in gel of polyacrylamide at 7%, in which the polymorphism of 14pb was identified, and by sequencing the other seven SNPs. The social demographic results point that the most of the sample was composed by male adult individuals. Regarding the color of the skin, in the comparison between the groups HCV and HIV/HCV, a bigger number of co-infected with black skin and brown-skinned was observed than in the mono infected (P=0,0001). Regarding to the category of exposition for acquisition of the HIV, in the comparison between the groups HIV and HIV/HCV, a significant difference was observed in the transmission through heterosexual exposition, being its frequency bigger in the group HIV (P=0,0000). In the case of the comparison between the groups HCV and HIV/HCV, the difference in the heterosexual transmission was also observed, being its frequency significantly higher in the group HIV/HCV (P=0,0001). About the finding related to the genotype of the HCV, in the comparison between the groups HCV and HIV/HCV, the genotype 1a presented higher frequency in the co- infected (P=0,0001). Regarding to the viral load of the HIV, in the comparison between the groups HIV and HIV/HCV, the group of the mono infection presented bigger viral load that the group of the co-infection (P=0,0350). Regarding to the level of hepatic fibrosis, in the comparison between the groups HCV and HIV/HCV, the group of co-infection has a lighter fibrosis that the group of the mono infection (P=0,0009). Regarding to the genetic polymorphisms of the region 3\' NT of the HLA-G, it was found that the genotype of heterozygosis Del/Ins of 14 pb, presented significant difference in the individuals co-infected by the HIV/HCV (P=0,0216) when compared with the control group. About the SNP +3003, the comparison of the groups HCV and healthy control, it was showed that the allele +3003T presented a significant higher frequency in the group HCV (P=0,0147); the genotype +3003C/T presented a higher frequency in the control group (P=0,0095); the genotype +3003T/T was bigger in the group HCV (P=0,0095). The comparison between the groups HIV and HCV showed that the frequency of the allele +3003C was bigger in the group HIV (P=0,0463); and the genotype +3003T/T presented a bigger frequency in the group (P=0,0494). The frequency of the genotype +3187A/A was bigger in the group HIV/HCV in comparison to the HIV (P=0,0193); and of the +3187A/G was bigger in the group HIV (P=0,0187). The genotype +3196C/G presented frequency significantly bigger in the group HIV than in the healthy control (P=0,0213). The UTR-10, in comparison between the groups HIV and control, showed bigger frequency in the group HIV (P=0,0044); when compared the groups HIV/HCV and HIV, frequency was bigger in the group HIV (P=0,0300) and in the comparison between the groups HIV and HCV, its frequency was also bigger in the group (P=0,0140). The UTR-4, in the comparison of the groups HCV and healthy control, revealed a bigger frequency in the control group (P=0,0147). The UTR-9, in comparison of the groups HIV/HCV and HIV, showed bigger frequency in the group HIV/HCV (P=0,0460). Regarding to the clinical data, the presence of the allele T in the position +3035, was significantly associated to bigger viral load of the HCV, above 400.000 copies /mL (P=0,0244). About the types of genotypes of the HCV, the presence of the allele +3027C was associated with the subtype 1a of the HCV (P=0,0109). Additionally, the presence of the genotype C/C in the position +3027 was also significantly associated with the subtype 1a of the HCV (P=0,0015). Still, the allele A of the SNP +3187 was significantly associated with the other genotypes of the HCV, excluding the 1a (P=0,0369). Although the function of the gene HLA-G, is not totally clarified, studies have been developed for better elucidate its function in the physiological contexts, like gestation, and pathological, such as tumours, transplants, infectious and inflammatory diseases. These studies aim to extend the knowledge about the immunological system and contribute for the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. The results of this study contribute for enhancement of the knowledge about the polymorphisms of the region 3\' NT of the gene HLA-G, in the co-infection HIV/HCV. As well as, in the improvement of the assistance of nursing that must seek reducing the morbid mortality by the pathology referred. However, there is still a long path to be followed in the comprehension of the immunogenic factors involved in the co-infection by the HIV/HCV

Hitherto divided Korean Peninsula is perhaps the most distinctive remnant of the Cold War. The main aim of this work is to analyze the prospects on reunification of the Korean Peninsula by analyzing the various factors that have affected and in the future could affect the development of inter-Korean relations, the possible character of unification and subsequent policy implications of the reunification to North East Asia, with focus on the problematic North Korean regime.

The aim of this thesis is to examine the extent to which selected aspects of sport policy in Japan and also UK/England are influenced by international forces. The objectives which underpin the research aim are to analyse the characteristics of the domestic policy areas and identify the varying degree of impact of external influences on domestic sport policy. The thesis examines the interactions between domestic and international factors that shape elite sport policy and anti-doping policy and seeks to identify how domestic institutional values and ideas have been shaped by global influences. Importantly, by analysing the nature and mechanisms of global influence that are manifest at the domestic level, it is intended to identify varying degree of impact external to national policy. To achieve the above objectives, a qualitative methodology and related documentary research methods are adopted in the empirical investigations. Policy document analysis and semi-structured interviews are employed. The cases of UK (or England where appropriate) are introduced in order to generate a deeper understanding of the development of Japanese elite sport and anti-doping policy. The thesis draws on a range of theoretical frameworks, including international relations theory, international regime theory and globalisation, to analyse the empirical data. By adopting these theoretical frameworks, it is aimed to identify the possible characteristics of international policy regimes in the policy areas of elite sport and anti-doping.

Hole idea of this design connects to existing situation and state, to historical, artistic significance of this region. The concept coming out of two main representants of life and history of Jasenov (Jasenov castle, Jasenov healing spring) and is coupled with new form, that is represented in form of Regional museum. First part includes analysis of area and surroundings, wider relationships, history and landmarks nad memories, static analysis of state of Jasenov castle and it's consequences on concept. Second part includes design of Jasenov healing spring. This place is historically significant because of effect on historical progress. For this place I designed „spiritua“ place, place for relaxation. Main part is represented by particular form, form that is inpired by classical chapels and churches of this region of Zemplin. Around main design, there are 23 rocks for sitting, that represents 23 families ( These families were really significant for hole progress and history of this village). Hole place communicates with it's surroundings, nature and gently complement this area. Third part deals with Museum of Region. Museum serves not only for representation of history, but also like place for relax, exibitions, performances ( amphiteather for 250 people), representation of traditional manufacturing and folklor. Concept consist of 7 main houses, in center of area si amphiteather/ park. Forms organicly conncets with nature, terrain in similar style like traditional architecture of Zemplin. Museum is alcou main crossroad of turistic paths (Humenné- Jasenov castle, Húbková- Chlmec, Jasenov castle- Krivoštianka).

Diploma thesis analyzes the inflation targeting regime. The theoretical part describes the basic mechanism of the regime, which consists of setting the inflation targets and the exceptions when the inflation rate may deviate from the targeted zone. Further part describes production of conditional and unconditional forecasts and operational steering of central bank interest rates. In the theoretical part are also summarized the advantages and disadvantages of the regime. The empirical part of this thesis consists in application of the theoretical findings to the practical experiences of CNB. It describes the process of setting the inflation targets and forecasting procedure of CNB. Final part of the thesis summarizes the successes and failures of practical application of the regime in the Czech Republic.

In North America, the acceleration of the eutrophication of surface waters due to nutrient pollution is still present. Soil studies have not entirely succeeded in linking nutrient and sediment losses to field hydrology because relationships between discharge and dissolved ions/sediments are complicated by a hysteresis effect which has been only described qualitatively. The objective of this thesis was to better understand the effects of hydrology on N, P, and sediment transfer from agricultural and forest soils to surface waters. This was done by developing a technique, called the H index, to quantify the hysteretic behaviour of ion and sediment transport in stream/overland water. The chemical and sediment concentrations in a stream of a forested watershed in the Sierra Nevada during snowmelt and in overland runoff of two agricultural fields during rain events in the Montreal area were examined. In the stream of the forested watershed, H indices for suspended sediment increased (looser hysteresis loop) with the availability of sediments and the lag between peaks in suspended sediment concentrations and discharge. In agricultural fields, nutrient concentrations increased with time during each event with presence of counterclockwise and clockwise hysteresis. The hysteretic behaviour of suspended sediments was not significantly related with either prior soil moisture content or rainfall characteristics. In order to simultaneously monitor P and N in the stream and soils of the forested watershed, a laboratory study was conducted to investigate the efficacy of various mixedbed exchange resins in absorbing dissolved organic and inorganic N and P. Results showed that mixed-bed resin was adequate for characterizing P on a short-time scale but longer exposure periods were required for N. Results from the resin exchange reveal the possibility that the spring time pulse of NOs'-N in stream water was due to the melting of the snowpack.

У дисертаційному дослідженні вперше запропоновано оригінальну концепцію юридичної природи процесуально-правового режиму, яка полягає в тому, що процесуальний режим є забезпечувальним механізмом всіх видів юридичної діяльності, і це вже практично не галузевий, а загальнотеоретичний підхід до визначення сутності та змісту процесуального режиму. З’ясовано особливості процесуально-правового режиму та на цій основі запропоновано його авторську дефініцію. Сформульовано авторську дефініцію поняття «процесуально-правові засоби в структурі процесуально-правового режиму». Визначено правовий режим як особливий порядок правового регулювання суспільних відносин, заснованого на певному поєднанні правових засобів (в т.ч. і способів правового регулювання), гарантій і принципів, що створює сприятливі (несприятливі) умови для задоволення інтересів суб’єктів права і спрямований на досягнення оптимального соціально-значущого результату. Сформульовано напрями оптимізації процесуально-правового режиму серед яких: вдосконалення та підвищення ефективності діяльності владних компетентних органів та їх посадових осіб при вирішенні юридичних справ, а також подальший розвиток інституту процесуальної аналогії. В диссертационном исследовании впервые предложена оригинальная концепция юридической природы процессуально-правового режима, которая, по мнению диссертанта, заключается в том, что процессуальный режим является обеспечительным механизмом всех видов юридической деятельности, и это уже практически не отраслевой, а общетеоретический подход к определению сущности и содержания процессуального режима. Определены особенности процессуально-правового режима и на этой основе предложено его авторскую дефиницию: это особый порядок процессуально-правового регулирования деятельности субъектов и участников юридического процесса, основанный на определенном сочетании правовых (процессуально-правовых) средств, принципов и способов правового регулирования, направленный на оптимальное решение юридических дел. Сформулировано авторскую дефиницию понятия «процессуальноправовые средства в структуре процессуально-правового режима» как целостную систему объективированных в процессуально-правовых актах (нормативных, правореализационных и правоприменительных) способов, приемов и механизмов, с помощью которых обеспечиваются права и законные интересы участников процессуально-правовых отношений. Эти средства способствуют надлежащей реализации материальных норм и в своей совокупности образуют процессуальные механизмы и процессуальные режимы, в том числе и механизм процессуально-правового регулирования, с помощью которого реализуется процессуально-правовой режим. Определен правовой режим как особый порядок правового регулирования общественных отношений, основанного на определенном сочетании правовых средств (в том числе и способов правового регулирования), гарантий и принципов, создает благоприятные (неблагоприятные) условия для удовлетворения интересов субъектов права и направлен на достижения оптимального социально-значимого результата. Сформулированы направления оптимизации процессуально-правового режима, среди которых: совершенствование и повышение эффективности деятельности властных компетентных органов и их должностных лиц при решении юридических дел, а также дальнейшее развитие института процессуальной аналогии. The dissertation research for the first time offered the original concept of the legal nature of the procedural legal regime, which, according to the dissertation, is that the procedural regime is a support mechanism of all types of legal activity, and this is practically not a branch, but a theoretical approach to determining the essence and content of the process mode. The peculiarities of the procedural and legal regime are determined and on this basis, his author's definition is proposed. The author's definition of the notion of «procedural remedies in the structure of the procedural legal regime» is formulated as a coherent system of the methods, techniques and mechanisms, which are objectified in the procedural legal acts (normative, enforcement and enforcement), by which the rights and legitimate interests of the participants are procedurally – legal relations. These tools facilitate the proper implementation of substantive rules and, in their totality, form procedural mechanisms and procedural regimes, including the mechanism of procedural regulation through which the procedural regime is implemented. The directions of optimization of the procedural legal regime are formulated, among them: improvement and increase of efficiency of activity of the competent authorities and their officials in solving legal cases, as well as further development of the institute of procedural analogy.

The diploma thesis deals with the regime change in the context of the Arab Spring 2011 with focus on Tunisia, Egypt and Syria. The aim of the thesis is to determine factors causing different progress towards political reforms in each country. Theoretical framework is provided by characteristics of undemocratic regimes, transitions to democracy and democracy itself. Each country is introduced from the historical point of view with focus on the 20th century, especially current methods of the governance. Several conclusions are made based on analytical -- synthetical method of reviewing historical, political and socioeconomical factors determining the domestic situation in compared countries and explaining their influence on different transition progress towards the new political system.

A questão das armas nucleares continua a figurar como um ponto central das Relações Internacionais Os esforços e ações concretas para o desarmamento, a não-proliferação e o controle das armas nucleares continuam sendo temas que geram tensões recorrentes entre os Estados. No entanto, no Brasil, são poucas as análises de caráter acadêmico acerca destes temas e, no que tange ao posicionamento corrente e prospectivo do Estado brasileiro no Regime de Não-Proliferação de Armas Nucleares, os estudos e análises são ainda mais escassos, ou incipientes. Tendo como objeto de estudo o Tratado sobre a Não-Proliferação de Armas Nucleares (TNP), o Regime dele decorrente e o processo de inserção do Estado brasileiro nesse Regime, a dissertação está estruturada em três eixos: o primeiro contempla o papel das armas nucleares na percepção de segurança dos Estados; o segundo abrange o TNP e o Regime dele decorrente; o terceiro analisa o processo de inserção do Estado brasileiro no Regime em pauta. Assim, em síntese, a pesquisa efetuada contemplou os motivos que levam os Estados à decisão de desenvolver armas nucleares; a gênese do TNP e a evolução da percepção do significado desse Tratado por parte dos Estados; bem como o processo e o grau de inserção do Brasil no Regime de Não-Proliferação de Armas Nucleares. A pesquisa efetuada buscou colocar o presente objeto de estudo no debate mais amplo das Relações Internacionais, tomando como base as abordagens consagradas da disciplina na questão do gerenciamento da segurança dos Estados, isto é, as duas abordagens que constituem o mainstream da disciplina, a perspectiva teórica liberal (e suas variantes neoliberais) e o pensamento realista (e neo-realista). Dessa forma, as conclusões obtidas valeram-se de lentes teóricas distintas, porém necessárias para a compreensão das partes específicas de um conjunto complexo e das conexões causais entre essas partes.
The issue of nuclear weapons continues to appear as a focal point of International Relations. The efforts and concrete actions on disarmament, non-proliferation, and nuclear arms control are still issues that generate recurring tensions between States. However, in Brazil, there is little analysis of an academic nature about these issues and, with respect to current and prospective position of the Brazilian State in the Nuclear Weapons Non-Proliferation Regime, studies and analysis are even more scarce, or incipient. The present dissertation has as its object of study to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), the Regime arisen from NPT, and the Brazilian State insertion process in this Regime. Therefore our research work is structured in three areas: the first one is about the role of nuclear weapons in States security perception, the second is about NPT and its Regime, the third runs over the insertion of the Brazilian state in this regime. So, in summary, the research performed included the reasons that make a State to develop nuclear weapons, the NPT genesis and evolution of the perception of the meaning of that Treaty by the States, and the process and the degree of insertion of Brazil in the Nuclear Weapons Non-Proliferation Regime. The inquiry sought to place this object of study in the broader debate on Foreign Relations, based on the approaches of the discipline devoted to the question of managing the security of States, id est, the two approaches that constitute the mainstream of the discipline: the perspective theoretical liberal (and neoliberal variants) and realistic thinking (and neo-realist). Thus, we have used different theoretical lenses, which we think necessary for understanding the specific parts and causal connections between these parts of a complex issue.

Moravian-Silesian Region is a part of an area so called „small black triangle". It is an area of higher pollution caused by some kind of industrial zone. This region belongs to the most polluted atmosphere in the Czech Republic. The pollution is caused by various factors but the most negative one is metallurgic industry but also mine-mining, transport, and small local furnaces. To analyze pollution, the instrumental neutron activation analysis with analyzing of moss samples were used. The moss has rudimentary root system so it takes nutrients as well as heavy metals from the atmosphere. All irradiation has performed in the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) in the Frank Laboratory of Neutron Physics (FLNP) at the reactor IBR-2M. Two kinds of irradiation have been performed as short-term irradiation as long-term irradiation. Short-term irradiation took about 3 mins and then short-lived isotopes were measured for about 15 mins. The long-lived isotopes were measured twice after about 4 days for 30 mins and after 23 days for 90 mins after 3 days of irradiation. For long term irradiation, the cadmium-screened irradiation channel was used. For analyzation and data processing the software Genie 2000 as well as software developed at FLNP JINR were used. In sum, 43 samples of the terrestrial mosses (Hypnum cupressiforme, Pleurozium schreberi and Brachythecium rutabulum) were collected in autumn of 2015 in which the concentration of 38 elements were determined, including heavy metals. As a result, the factor analysis have been performed as well as maps analyzation.

This paper is focused on an analysis of current regionalism in Asia-Pacific region and on evaluation of creation of relatively wide and relatively deep regional integration. Possible benefits of this integration concept can be exemplified by development of Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) whose member states have substantially different interests due to historic and socioeconomic reasons. However, ASEAN was able to overcome these different interests by a specific integration model which is based on mutual trust, consensual decision-making and gradual changes. As a result, natural suspicions were eliminated to some extent and member states were able to deepen their integration. Main powers in the region noticed its success and they began to strive to develop closer relations not only with ASEAN, but also with other regional powers through ASEAN structure.

Gambling and mankind are linked together for thousands of years. Despite its negative influence, gambling games take an essential part in life of every generation. The main aim of this thesis is to analyse environment for casino start-up in six selected countries from central Europe and recommend the country with the most suitable conditions. The casino parameters will be defined in the particular chapter of the thesis. Countries, that will be compared, are Slovak republic, Czech republic, Hungary, Austria, Poland and Ukraine. The comparison will respect law systems of every country, which regulate the casino business. Information, we get from conducting the research, will be taken in mind in decision making process. To make the choice of the appropriate country (variant), two methods for comparing variants are used, in order to achieve objective result. In the end of the thesis, there will be a recommendation based on the results of the comparison. It should be noted that the recommendation will be based also on subjective evaluation.

This thesis is concerned with regional disparities in The Czech and Slovak Republics. The theoretical part is therefore related to the definition of the region, regional policy and regional disparities. Implied are different concepts, classification, and the methods of measurement and evaluation of regional disparities. In the practical part of this thesis, regions of the Czech and Slovak Republics are evaluated from the ecomical point of view using Bennet method. Finally there is comparison of selected regions between the two countries.

Currency crises have become an essential part of one's economy life. The periodicity of currency crises and its implications towards the real economy is an issue which the international economics should bear in mind. The thesis which I am presenting tries to give an overview how the exchange rate regimes interact with the currency crises. Firstly, the Market Pressure Index (MPI), which is used for catching the crises, is introduced. Then after the introduction chapters I use gathered data to analyze the observed crises. The last chapter is there to give a summary about obtained knowledge. The most valuable information, regarding the currency crises, is that the stricter the monetary regime after the currency crises is the less of the output occurs. This is the main finding emerged from the pre and post analysis of monetary regimes. Another finding is that the loss of output is primarily connected with a shift from any pegged arrangement to a floating arrangement. The shifts which took place under the pegged arrangements completely do not seem to have an impact towards the real output. Finally, Real Exchange Effective Rate seems to be an element which connects all the studied crises. This opinion reflects the current research topic in international economics.

This diploma thesis is focused on the analysis of trust funds taxation, which is being prepared in Czech Republic based on comparison with existing arrangements in Great Britain, Italy, Switzerland and France. In the first part terms relevant to trust fund problematics used in the following parts of the thesis are defined. Also Hague Convention is mentioned, since it explains function of trust funds in continental countries. In the second part, the focus is on the analysis of legal and tax arrangement in chosen jurisdictions with emphasis on taxation in individual situations. The last part deals with legislation of trust funds based on the new civil code. Key issue here is analysis of tax legislation concerning the trust funds taxation in the Czech Republic and a proposal of taxation possibilities on the basis of comparing it with existing taxation in chosen jurisdictions. At the end of this part, arrangement of trust funds, which is contained in Model Tax Convention on Income and Capital, is mentioned.

This thesis is devoted to the issue of non-violent resistance. It focuses on identifying factors that affect the success of non-violent campaigns. The paper presents and compares different types of resistance in achieving strategic objectives, particularly in terms of post-conflict democratic order of the country. The central premise of this thesis is that nonviolent campaigns bring a more fertile ground for developing a democratic regime opposed to their violent counterparts. The analyzed object in this paper is the Arab Spring in Egypt, specifically the course and the outcome of this non-violent revolution of 2011. The aim of this study is to identify the factors that influenced the course of the uprising and which ultimately led to the backfiring of this seemingly successful non-violent struggle in Egypt.

The access to technology, the effects of instant information and the emergence of an increasingly empowered global citizen have contributed to the fundamental shift of the global political and economic landscape over the last twenty years. In consequence, the soft-power resources are becoming more and more important components of nation's foreign policy. Foreign policy instruments of public diplomacy and cultural diplomacy can effectively utilize such soft-power resources in order to assert foreign policy goals by purposefully supporting wide range of cultural and artistic activities. It is the aim of the thesis to examine both the direct and indirect impacts of artistic production on societies with various degrees of democratic culture and in connection to elaborate on the relevance of the right to freedom of artistic expression and creativity. The essential aim of this thesis is to look at the role that art production plays in the development of a democratic society.

Spiš region is one of the most interesting regions in Slovakia. It has many natural and cultural monuments, sports and recreational facilities and other tourist attractions. This natural and cultural heritage is of transnational importance. Moreover, the unique combination of diverse attractions, which are concentrated in a small area, is the main source of competitive advantage. The thesis is focused on the analysis of conditions for development of tourism and analysis of marketing activities of the region. First, we assessed the primary and secondary offer of the destination. Although it is relatively wide, the problem is its concentration in the larger tourist centers and cities, often poor quality of services or inadequate price for offered quality. On the field of marketing activities, two main ideas for support of the development of tourism are proposed. Firstly, it is a clear definition (geographically) of the region as a destination. Secondly, an existance of a tourist organization that would promote cooperation between individual entities and public sector and create a single marketing strategy for the region Spiš is proposed. Spis region has a great potential for tourism, but needs to use and develop constantly.

The constant demand for power efficient electronic systems has led to the exploration of low-power design techniques in various aspects of integrated circuits. In particular, voltage level shifters play a crucial role in bridging voltage domains within a system. This thesis focuses on the design and optimization of energy-efficient voltage level shifters operating in the Near-Threshold Voltage (NTV) regime. This work presents a low power and high-speed voltage level shifter circuit which can convert near threshold voltages to super threshold region. The proposed structure improves performance and speed by implementing a low power buffer to minimize power losses in the previous designs. High delay owing to fall transition has been mitigated using a pass transistor, which improves the overall speed of operation of the circuit without using any multi-threshold devices. Only 11 transistors are used for the proposed circuit. The circuit can shift input voltages as low as 0.3 V to 1V output voltage. The proposed LS was implemented using 45nm CMOS technology and incurs power dissipation of 12.78nW with propagation delay of 4.106 ns for a 0.4V/ 1 MHz signal. The designed circuit shows high speed performance as compared to other circuits present in the literature over a wide range of temperature.

The study starts out from the internal and external environment after the 16th NCCPC (National Congress of Communist Party of China) to explore the background of the Reform toward Regime for Cultural Administration and with the following discoveries made after deducting revolutionary objective, process, and performance. The achievement of the Reform toward Regime for Cultural Administration is in generating profits, changing governmental functions, promoting cultural construction, reinforcing regulatory construction, promoting cultural business department and increasing employment population, and opening up cultural market that help reinforce cultural energy and competitiveness. However, it has not yet helped resolve the issues of party and governmental organization overlapping, ambiguity between cultural industry and cultural business, and integrity of cultural regulations. The impact of the Reform toward Regime for Cultural Administration: In terms of politics, the success of reformation will affect the political life of Chairman J.T. Hu and the stability of Chinese politics; moreover, the way to internationalized political system throughout the reformation. In terms of economy, the reformation helps improve national economic growth and increase national tax income. In terms of society, the reformation helps increase employment opportunity, improve labor protection, minimize difference between urban and rural, and impact the value of countrymen and social stability. The study finding, the Reform toward Regime for Cultural Administration is extended from the reformation in the past and it is in conformity with that reformation; moreover, it has made the national reformation unique. The said reformation includes the tasks of: (1) Integrating organizational functions, reducing trade cost, and consolidating national cultural construction in a scientific way; (2) Reforming cultural review system (review approval), establishing law and order, and freeing cultural business (loosening up the control over culture business) through liberation (transferring government control over to business entities). Propose strategic suggestions to government for policy planning and cultural business reformation.

Food regime theory emerged in the 1980s as a tool to delineate the history of the modern food system. Scholars insist that we have arrived at the third and putative corporate food regime that is dominated by a select group of agribusiness corporations. The corporate food regime"s ascent to dominance will be presented here as a product of the realization of neoliberal trade policies at the urging of the World Trade Organization. Initially promising development to fledgling countries, the WTO"s forays into agriculture have amounted to nothing less than a catastrophe for the Global South. The hope that developing countries would be able to trade their way out of debt has long been abandoned, and the gap between the developed and developing world has only been further exacerbated as a result of trade liberalization. Worse yet, the WTO"s Agreement on Agriculture was intentionally littered with loopholes that allow Northern countries to egregiously subsidize crops that are then exported off to Southern markets at artificially low prices, crippling local producers in the process. Through examining import and export flows in the Global South since the trade agreement, this cruel feature of the modern food system will become evident as will the subsequent jump in agribusiness" profits amid the direst of...

The Gambia, a small open economy, implements a managed floating exchange rate regime. The central bank (CBG) has the mandate to design and implement monetary policy with the primary aim of achieving price and exchange stability in the economy. In spite of interventions by the CBG, the country continues to experience fluctuations in its exchange rate with several instances of major spikes in recent years. This thesis proposes a solution, through a change of policy regime, to control the long time and disturbing depreciation of the domestic currency. In a vector auto regressive framework, the study investigates sources of the exchange rate variability using quarterly data from 1998:Q1 to 2012:Q4. Furthermore, the OCA theory and the pre- conditions of inflation targeting are used to make a choice between a common currency and inflation targeting for the Gambia. The findings from the Johansen test of cointegration suggest that the selected key macroeconomic variables are cointegrated, meaning, they have long run equilibrium. The results of the VECM reveal that error correction mechanism can be achieved in some of the variables. This indicates that there exists the convergence process. In addition, the results from the impulse response analysis put forward that the macroeconomic variables have effect on...

Analyzing the various factors that strengthened the Hashemite regime's stability during the spread of chaos caused by the Arab Spring is deemed important; even though the wave of the Arab Spring has ended, Jordan's economy is still suffering and the public is still demanding reform nonetheless, the Hashemite regime is untouched. This research will analyze the regime-society bond in light of the Arab Uprising that has undoubtedly assisted in the survival of the kingdom by creating a framework by which protesters unconsciously adhered to that entailed calls for political and economic reform to be initiated by the existing regime. Furthermore, the Hashemite's most powerful allies made sure to provide military and financial assistance to ensure the regime and the kingdoms remain secure and stable. However, such aid did not come without a price; it was critical for the Hashemite regime to balance between maintaining its coordinated strategies with its allies to maintain the close relations and maintaining its sovereignty and the foreign policies that serve national interests.

of the Diploma Paper ,, Transitions to Democracy " Transition of a particular country from an undemocratic political regime to mostly that of democratic is a head subject regarded by many experts and general public. It may seem that democratic regime is a matter of course nowadays; however, the truth is unlike. The democratic regime dominates scarcely in the half of all countries in the world. Regarding to the situation in northern Africa and other Arabic countries, it has recently been more and more proved that changes of political regimes, especially from the undemocratic to the democratic ones, are taken as a current subject matter not only today, but also in the following days, weeks, months and years. This is why I am focusing on the theme of Transitions to Democracy in my diploma thesis. The thesis is divided into four chapters. First chapter, named Democracy, deals with the conception of democracy. One cannot define the word "democracy" by just one feature, therefore, criteria of volition and division of democracy into the constitutional liberalism and illiberal democracy by Fareed Zakaria is fundamental in my work. Second chapter is focused on the undemocratic regimes. Definitions of these regimes are important mainly for understanding why they had been transferred or why they are to be...

This diploma thesis should have tested growth abilities during different temperature and oxygen regime in hybrid between brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) and arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) culture. There were survival, growth, feed conversion, weight heterogeneity of fish and somatic indexes as followed indicators. The hypothesis was discovery of differences in growth and mentioned indicators during rearing in water with different temperature and oxygen regime. This thesis consists of two done experiments. There were tested five temperature regimes (7, 10, 13, 16 and 19 °C) in the first experiment. Each of tested groups was repeated four times. The experiment took place 84 days and biometric data were measured always after 21 days period. Results showed that the highest weight growth was achieved in fish reared at 13 °C as specific growth rate achieved 4,12 ? 0,21 % × day-1. Higher temperature regimes (16, 19 °C) are not suitable for rearing of Salvelinus hybrid. Survival of tested group reared at 19 °C were only 41,4 ? 27,3 % after the end of the first experiment. At lower temperatures efficient feed conversion were not managed and specific growth rate were lower than at mentioned temperature 13 °C. There were four tested groups permanent hyperoxia (120 130 %), hyperoxia only during a light part of a day, oscillating hyperoxia/normoxia and permanent normoxia (85 95 %) in the second experiment. Each of tested groups was repeated three times. The experiment took place 63 days and biometric data were measured always after 21 days. There were no difference in survival among tested groups and after the end of the second experiment survival was 86,0 ? 1,4 %. The highest specific growth rate were achieved at the normoxia group 1,48 ? 0,05 % × day-1 and at the group where fish were reared under hyperoxia only during a light part of a day - 1,38 ? 0,10 % × day-1. The most efficient feed conversion was mentioned at the fish reared in permanent normoxia and permanent hyperoxia.

This paper identifies an optimal monetary policy rule using a calibrated small open economy DSGE model for Mongolian economy. The main result of this study is that domestic inflation-based Taylor rule is the best monetary policy regime for the Central bank of Mongolia (BoM) in terms of welfare loss. Therefore, the result of welfare analysis suggests that BoM should consider not only CPI inflation but also output gap in order to improve household welfare in economy. On the other hand currency board with fixed exchange rate regime could be very harmful to the Mongolian economy because it makes domestic economy more unstable in comparison to the other regimes.

The thesis deals with the language practices of French-speaking reggae singers. The work investigates how Jamaican musical inspiration came to the French scene, and which phonetic, morphosyntactic and especially lexical devices are found there. An inseparable object of research, equally undescribed, was the vernacular of francophone reggae fans. The empirical part investigates a random sample of French reggae (approx. 50 thousand words). The songs differ geographically, chronologically (1979-2010) and musically (roots, raggamuffin, dancehall). The research not only focuses on popular and colloquial French, slang, urban language, musical influence or poetry, but also on the coherence between themes and functions fulfilled by francophone reggae. A list of neologisms shows preferences in lexicogenic processes. Furthermore, the method includes a web survey answered by 189 French-speaking reggae fans, who represent the 'new speech' community. As a result, the hypothesis of a new vernacular, independent from rap, is confirmed. The specific hybridity is defined by code switching and more than a hundred English and Jamaican borrowings, which are commonly used by the fans.

ABSTRACTS This thesis is concerned with the psychological prose by Regīna Ezera. The first chapter gives an insight into the writer's personality. The chapter also outlines the situation in Latvian literature in the period from the restoration of Soviet occupation at the end of World War II throughout the 1990s. The following two chapters are devoted to the analysis of specific Ezera's works, namely three works that were translated into the Czech language (The Well, Aka, 1972, Summer Lasted for Just One Day, Vasara bija tikai vienu dienu, 1974, A Man Needs a Dog, Cilvēkam vajag suni, 1975) and some works that have not yet been translated (Smouldering Fires, Zemdegas, 1977, A Dragon's Egg, Pūķa ola, 1995 and some short proses included in the book The Princess Phenomenon, Princeses Fenomens, 1985 especially so-called zoological novellas and so-called crazy stories). The fourth chapter contains a translation of the short story called August, Month of Apples, Augusts, ābolu mēness included in the book The Princess Phenomenon. The translation is the original work by the author of the thesis. In the final chapter the main features of analysed works are summarised.

The main theme of the presented dissertation is life's work of Anna Regina Husová (1857 - 1945). The autor, ethnology student Marie Tůmová (Department of Ethnology Charles University in Prague), prowides a comprehensive overview of many aspects of her life which hasn't been mapped in the academic scene of the Czech republic yet. The author proposes first, that she was an outstanding personality in ethnology of our regional history. The work itself is divided into two main sections (life and life's work of Anna Regina Husová) and subsections which analysing the topic in a specific context: a brief introduction, structure, proposition, conclusion and full bibliography. There are also seven appendices (activities, friends, a brief look into her prose and poetry, illustrations, this English summary and CD disk), literature and sources. The methodological backround of the presented thesis was grounded in the professional qualifications, archive's sources, literature and recent literature as well. Cardinal method used in this thesis is a dense and holistic case study: a mohography. Although the thesis of graduate student Marie Tůmová, led by lecturer Irena Štěpánová, concerns many aspects selected regional personality exceeding 180 pages in lenght, it still raises several unanswered questions.

This dissertation thesis researches the impact of ecological conditions on the permanent graminaceous cover not faraway from the peatland in the Borkovice region. These ecological conditions primarily mean water regime of the habitat. The nutritive regime and the fodder crop value are monitored in this thesis. These data were acquired with the help of the vegetation composition, using bio-indikative methods. Resulting values are described in the thesis, and their mutual relations are also stated there. In accordance to the ascertained results, proper pratotechnic measures were proposed. These measures try to harmonize the productive and non-productive functions.

Permanent grassland in agricultural landscapes represents an important position in terms of biodiversity. Becoming a habitat of endangered plant species, they are rich in flowering plants and also provide wintering territories to many animals. The aim of this study is to assess the biomass production of grassland for energy recovery, describe ways to use herbaceous biomass and impact of digestate on species composition and productivity of grassland. The experiment was conducted on the land in the village Dmýštice, located in the county of Písek. The site of fertilization by digestate is located near the village of Novosedly, county Strakonice. On these lands there were monitored ecological conditions of grasslands, dates and intensity of their use, botanical composition, species diversity and biomass production. Furthermore, this thesis uses methods of preservation of harvested biomass and comparing fertilized and unfertilized plots. The obtained data were used to calculate the Simpson index species diversity, nutrient and water mode positions. The values were statistically processed.

The aim of the diploma thesis is to give the most objective and comprehensive view of the personality of Dominika Tatarka primarily from the historical perspective, but also from a literary critical perspective. The view of the creation will, as far as possible, be done in cross-section, with an accent on the autobiographical features of the work, demonstrating a radical view of the communist regime. Emphasis will be given, in particular, to the period of the 70s and 80s of the 20th century with relevant time transitions. The historical perspective will seek to bring the role of the writer's community in the reform movement of the sixties of the 20th century in a wider context and to clarify the specifics of Slovak dissent, with emphasis on the position of Dominika Tatarka in it.

Japanese monetary authorities used to employ various intervention techniques to adjust the level of the dollar/yen exchange rate and reduce its volatility. Application of the GARCH-in- mean model for estimation of the effect of these operations demonstrates that depreciating interventions reduced volatility effectively from 1995 until 2002. Frequent interventions of the small scale had a tendency to increase volatility during period 1991-1995. Foreign exchange interventions conducted by US Fed have increasing, means negative, effect, on the conditional variance. Frequent interventions of the great scale do not affect the volatility; it is determined mostly by the persistent level of the conditional variance from the latter periods. Recent interventions conducted by the Bank of Japan after the financial crisis do not show any considerable effect on both the volatility and the level of the exchange rate.

The diploma thesis "The Hybrid Regime and the Democracy in Peru - the Regime of Alberto Fujimori." will be focused on the regime of Alberto Fujimori in Peru in the scope of theories of hybrid regimes, a theory of "neopopulism" and a theory of "autogolpe". The theoretical frame of the thesis is based on theories of hybrid regimes by Larry Diamond and Guillermo O'Donnell, further on a theory of "neopopulism" by Kurt Weyland and a theoretical analysis of the "autogolpe" by Maxwell A. Cameron. The thesis will be focused on the fact whether the examined regime corresponds to one type of hybrid regimes based on criteria of the theoretical framework and whether it is the case of "neopopulism". As factors that could affect the form of Fujimori's regime there will be analysed campaigns of guerrilla groups Shining Path and MRTA and the solution of the economic crisis. The aim of the diploma thesis is the analysis of Fujimori's government, thus the finding, whether it is possible to mark the regime as hybrid and which type specifically. The thesis will use the method of comparative analysis for comparison purposes to compare countries where was or may be realized "autogolpe". Then there will be used a case study to describe the events that preceded the election of president Fujimori and then the description...

The 2015 refugee crisis clearly highlighted that the European asylum system is flawed and triggered a heated discussion on the functioning and appropriateness of the Dublin Regulation. The present research tries to account for differences in the implementation of the Dublin regime from its coming into force in 1997 until today, by testing the three possibly influencing factors 'misfit', administrative capacity and overall situation for Germany, Hungary and Italy. The comparative case study first ascertains that Germany implements the obligations to a medium to high degree, while Hungary presents a low and Italy a medium-low implementation record. The analysis of the single variables shows that the higher the compatibility between the national and the European asylum system at the moment of adhering to the Dublin system, the more diligently a country implements it. While no clear claims can be made if and how the administrative capacity of a state affects implementation, the economic situation does have an impact in the sense that a stronger overall state of the economy appears to have positive effects on implementation. The research is part of the general research framework of Europeanization and contributes to the scholarship on implementation. By shedding light on the factors leading to...

The main aim of this thesis was to gain essential data from which it was possible to formulate findings about behaviour of dairy cattle in relation to the control system of feeding regime. The practical part of the thesis was based on a quantitative research and the basis of the empirical part was a research based on an observation which took place at the farm Agochlum of farming enterprise in Záluží, near Sušice. This research enables to evaluate the impact of the frequency of feed distribution and hilling on ethological behaviour of dairy cattle. The observation focused on activities connected with feed intake, drinking, lying and milking. The research took place in three continuous observational periods, each observation lasted 24 hours. The result of the research is evaluation of the average number of milking a day and average daily milk yield, preparation time for milking, milking duration, total time in the box, time in individual milkings, total activity of dairy cattle 30 minutes after milking and the evaluation of state of health of mammary gland, all of this is in connection with the feeding regime. Data gained from the observation was processed into tables and diagrams in MS Excel and it was statistically evaluated. The basic method of the research was the observation of dairy cattle in a given period by given people, recording into ethological diary, the analysis of gained data and the comparison of the result with other theses. The instructions of the thesis are based on the project NAZV - QJ1210144 and NAZV QJ1530058.

Lipanský T. (2016): Dlouhodobý režim proudění podzemních vod v hlubokých pánevních kolektorech, na příkladu ovlivnění hydrogeologických poměrů české křídové pánve hornickou činností v okolí Stráže pod Ralskem. Doktorská disertační práce. - Univerzita Karlova v Praze Abstract: This thesis sumerises the development of groundwater regime in a multilayered water-bearing system of the Bohemian Cretaceous Basin in maximal proposed extent of area where the groundwater regime had been affected by mining of radioactive materials near Strář pod Ralskem. The aim of the work was to describe the groundwater regime on the basis of measured monitoring data and map interpolations. The former Uranium mining from Cenomanian sandstone sediments represents the largest human impact on the natural groundwater flow of a multilayered water-bearing system within both the Bohemian Cretaceous Basin and the Czech Republic. Newly created graphs and maps of piezometric surfaces bring an insight into the dynamics of the Bohemian Cretaceous Basin water-bearing system and give an idea of long- term groundwater heads and flow directions development in the studied area. This was achieved despite the fact that this study does not present a hydraulic model, but an interpolation of monitoring data. Maps and grids of piezometric surfaces can be...

Diploma thesis Relation between the concepts of humanitarian intervention and regime change: the case of Libya is concerned with the study of military interventions after 1989 in the context of current theoretical discourse. It's main goal is assessing the 2011 NATO operation Unified Protector. The key question of thesis is, whether the intervention, due to the extensive reading of UNSC Resolution 1973, mandate still can be described in the terms of humanitarian intervention concept (in accordance with international law paradigm of R2P), or whether it rather had been a regime change. Based on primary data analysis, the paper shows that actors (most significantly the USA, France and Great Britain) contributing with a theoretically impartial military force, despite the immediate positive humanitarian outcome, helped significantly to overthrow the regime of Muammar Gaddafi. Due to the specifics of the operation, it can rather be described as a hidden regime change - a definition is also offered in the thesis. Based on the theoretical framework created by Michael Reisman, the author also assesses legitimacy of such deeds. The text is divided into three main chapters. Chapter one gives an account of broader context of just war theories, humanitarian intervention and regime change concepts. In the second...

The work deals with Rastafari, gender promatics and the leisure phenomenon reggae, which is a means of presentation of identity the rastafarian musical artists. The beginning of the theoretical part the work deals with identity, gender roles and stereotypes as aspects of education. Next part is concerned with attributes of rastafarian identity, historical roots of Rastafarians, their religion, lifestyle, specific language, gender problematics and the spread of Rastafari in contemporary global world. The last chapter discusses the reggae musical style from the viewpoint its functions, creation and international development as the contemporary cultural trend. The practical part is concerned with qualitative research using method of content analysis and coding of the obtained data. The aim of the research is to describe the gender problematics explicitly and implicitly contained in the musical texts of reggae and genres deriving from it.

The problems of dietary regime and self-reflection is mapped on the basis of studied literature in a theoretic part. Practical part deals with a research which is focused on nurses` supporting client{\crq}s self-reflection during observing dietary regime or whether clients use a self-reflection during observing dietary regime and whether their family members support them. The research was made with a method of questioning, questionnaire technique, in hospitals in České Budějovice, Písek and Příbram and was aimed at three informant groups.

This thesis examines the reasons for the survival of Robert Mugabe's regime in Zimbabwe over more than thirty years. Approaching this question from comparative politics perspective the author examines the type of regime, its capacity (including capacity of the state and of other institutions) and strategy of survival that can be found in Zimbabwe, in the context of relevant historical events before and after Mugabe's seizing of power. Thereby the author devaluate those aspects taking into account all the broader context of sub-Saharan African regimes.
