Thinning is performed today with essentially two thinning methods, with strip-roads or stand-thinning machines. The result after thinning affects the stands future development. In this study, the two thinning methods was compared with regard to distribution of basal area, resulting damage, the distribution of stems, actual thinning intensity and the impact that these differences may provide in the future. The survey was conducted in Sundsvall, Sweden in two different stands where basal area- surfaces, number of stems, damage and thinning strength was measured. The result shows that stand-thinning machines produce less damage to the stems and a more even distribution of the basal area. The strip-road method carried out a thinning of excessive thinning intensity of 50 % compared to 30 % for stand-thinning method. From a quality point of view the stand-thinning machines performed a better result. These machines have a lower production (harvested volume per hour) which probably results in lower financial gains in thinnings. Keywords: stand-thinning, basal area, thinning strength, Vimek, soil damage.

Syftet med studien är att få en inblick i hur förskollärare förhåller sig till och pratar om musikundervisning i förskolan. Forskning som gjorts inom området visar att det finns en tydlig koppling mellan musikundervisning och barns lärande. Trots detta saknar förskollärare många gånger ämnesdidaktisk kunskap inom musikundervisningen, vilket medför att musikämnet alltför ofta prioriteras bort från det pedagogiska schemat.  Studien har sin utgångspunkt i två individuella delstudier. Dessa delstudier behandlar forskningsfrågorna utifrån skilda analysmetoder. De utvalda metoderna utgörs en kvalitativ diskursanalys av fem artiklar som syftar till att undersöka de dominerande diskurserna och osynliga strukturer inom musikundervisning i förskolan. Den kvantitativa enkäten med kvalitativa inslag kartlägger musikens plats i förskolan utifrån förskollärare i ett specifikt rektorsområde. Med utgångspunkt i sociokulturell teori, diskursteori och ramfaktorteori har vi analyserat det empiriska materialet och försökt synliggöra hur förskollärare arbetar med musiken i förskolan, i vilken utsträckning bedrivs didaktiskt planerad musikundervisning, om det finns kopplingar mellan musik och andra ämnen och om förskollärares förhållningssätt påverkar musikundervisningens kvalitét.  Resultaten i studien visar bland annat att den ämnesdidaktiska medvetenheten har ökat bland förskollärarna. Detta skulle kunna bero på att de estetiska ämnena i förskollärarutbildningen har fått större plats. Studien har även synliggjort att förskollärare gärna arbetar med musik och att det de vill att musiken ska ta mer plats i undervisningen i förskolan.

Significant changes and advances in technology in the twenty-first century, and the rapid evolution and development of the internet in particular, have shaped the production, publication, and consumption of, and access to, a wide range of media. For adaptors of Shakespeare, such advances can be exploited as new and innovative ways through which to interpret, perform, and understand Shakespeare. This thesis argues that a possibility space emerges from the restrictions of video-sharing sites such as YouTube and Vimeo, enabling the creation and online distribution of original internet-disseminated short film adaptations of Shakespeare on a scale — and with a potential audience — previously unimaginable to those without significant financial resources. I explore the effect that the enforced brevity of the possibility space has on filmmakers’ adaptations of Shakespeare and ask how this space enables newly creative and innovative approaches to adapting Hamlet’s ‘to be or not to be’ speech, Ophelia’s image (and death), and a distilled Romeo and Juliet narrative. I aim to show that a generally circulated cultural memory of Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet is crucial for this kind of short-form adaptation, as the brevity of the format relies on audience familiarity with the images and texts deployed to fill in any gaps. I demonstrate that image-based adaptations, such as Ophelia’s death, are predominantly reductive due to a strong visual tradition that results in repeated reproduction of the same image, whereas text-based adaptations, such as Hamlet’s speech, allow exploration and amplification due to the nebulous nature of the text and exploitation of the possibilities of film; the Romeo and Juliet love story, bound up in both text and image, is more visually resonant than adaptations of Hamlet’s speech, but less so than those of Ophelia’s death. Ultimately, I conclude that although the possibility space always exists, it is not always leveraged in the same way: it can, and does, offer internet-disseminated short filmmakers the opportunity to approach familiar Shakespearean material in new and innovative ways, but this creative potential can be overlooked in favour of static, mimetic replication that uses Shakespeare to confer legitimacy without writing back.

Esta pesquisa apresenta um estudo sobre o vime, desde a produção da matéria-prima até suas aplicações no artesanato, dentro de uma perspectiva de sustentabilidade social, econômica e ambiental. O lócus do trabalho foi o Planalto Catarinense, onde se concentra a maior produção de vime do Brasil. A região, de clima subtropical úmido, é a ideal para o cultivo das espécies de Salix destinadas ao artesanato. Foram analisadas quatro espécies, Salix viminalis, Salix purpurea, Salix x rubens e Salix spp (espécie sem identificação), oriundas de Unidades de Observação, supervisionadas pela Epagri. O trabalho trata de dois aspectos principais: a matéria-prima e o artesanato. Quanto à matéria-prima, procedeu-se iniciou-se com a avaliação comparativa das espécies feita por artesãos experientes no uso do vime, em seguida procedeu-se ao levantamento anatômico das quatro espécies, que seguiu as Normas de Procedimentos em Estudos de Anatomia de Madeira (Coradin e Muniz, 1991), juntamente com o levantamento dos elementos químicos presentes nas amostras, feito por meio de Microscopia de Varredura e EDX, a fim de determinar a presença de metais pesados e a possível utilização do material para fitorremediação. Os aspectos referentes à matéria-prima são completados com a classificação do vime quanto às espécies e aos sítios, por meio da Espectroscopia no Infravermelho Próximo (NIR). Quanto ao artesanato apresenta-se uma pesquisa qualitativa que incluiu três etapas: um Workshop envolvendo artesãos e designers; uma pesquisa realizada por intermédio de uma adaptação da metodologia Roadmaps, em Bom Retiro – SC, com produtores de vime, artesãos, autoridades regionais e designers; e uma pesquisa com os artesãos dos sete municípios produtores de vime do Planalto Catarinense. Para proceder-se ao estudo fez-se uso tanto de metodologias quantitativas quanto qualitativas, uma vez que parte do estudo referente à matéria-prima utilizou métodos quantitativos e estatísticos, enquanto os aspectos sociais referentes ao artesanato são melhor analisados através de métodos qualitativos, aqui incluídas a pesquisa participativa e a metodologia Road Maps. Os resultados referentes à matéria-prima indicam as espécies mais promissoras em relação ao uso esperado. Já a pesquisa relativa ao artesanato, apresenta as condições atuais de artesãos e agricultores, suas expectativas em relação ao futuro da atividade, os principais desafios e as sugestões para superá-los.

My point of origin concerning this thesis was an interest for how school may develop students’ reading comprehension. International surveys show that the results for Swedish students’ performance regarding reading comprehension have declined and the current curriculum, Lgr-11, emphasizes the importance of incorporating this into all school subjects. The special teacher education programme has raised the awareness concerning the importance of including the students and that learning is achieved in an interactive setting. A special teacher must therefore work proactively alongside with teachers in order to find methods that may enable inclusion of all the students regardless of their need. The purpose of this study is therefore to take part of teachers’ experiences with developing reading comprehension. The study is based on interviews with eight teachers that have extensive experience from working with reading comprehension. The sociocultural perspective has been chosen as a starting point. The collected results show that the teachers teach in full classes to a higher extent, they teach in full classes by using structured methods and communal book talks that focuses on reading comprehension strategies. The teachers have a central role in this form of co-learning and acts as a support. Assessment within a sociocultural perspective should be conducted in an authentic situation and together with the students. My result shows that the teachers use different tests and mappings as decided by each school. However, some teaches emphasizes the importance of assessing in authentic situations and provides some examples of that.
Utgångspunkten för detta arbete var intresset för hur skolan kan utveckla elevers läsförståelse. Internationella mätningar visar att svenska elever har försämrade resultat i läsförståelse och nuvarande läroplan, Lgr 11, betonar betydelsen av att arbeta med detta i samtliga ämnen. Speciallärarutbildningen har ökat medvetenheten om vikten av att elever ska inkluderas och att lärande sker i ett interaktivt samspel. En speciallärare bör därför arbeta förebyggande tillsammans med lärare för att hitta metoder som kan möjliggöra inkludering för samtliga elever oavsett behov. Studiens syfte är därför att ta del av lärares erfarenheter av att arbeta med att utveckla elevers läsförståelse. Studien bygger på intervjuer med åtta lärare som har erfarenhet av att arbeta med läsförståelse. Det sociokulturella perspektivet har valts som utgångspunkt. Det sammantagna resultatet visar att lärarna undervisar i helklass med strukturerade metoder, i en större utsträckning än tidigare, med gemensamma textsamtal där man arbetar med läsförståelsestrategier. Lärarna har en central roll i detta samlärande och agerar som stöd. I ett sociokulturellt perspektiv ska bedömning genomföras i autentiska situationer i ett samspel med eleverna. Mitt resultat visar att de använder olika test och kartläggningar som respektive skola har bestämt ska genomföras. Några lärare betonar dock betydelsen av att bedöma i autentiska situationer och ger exempel på detta.

A reflexão sobre os problemas ambientais e suas interfaces com o design pode colaborar com a minimização dos impactos decorrentes de produtos que não atentam para os aspectos de sustentabilidade. Nesse sentido, o objetivo geral é investigar e contextualizar os modos de vida e produção artesanal de três grupos que atuam na Serra Gaúcha, a fim de compreender suas relações com o design para com a sustentabilidade. Optou-se por uma amostragem de artesãos, os quais se diferenciam pelo tipo de artesanato e matéria-prima que utilizam. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo, baseado em pesquisa bibliográfica, documental e de campo. Compara-se a realidade vivida por três grupos de artesãos: a) Grupo palha de milho - artesãos que trabalham com palha de milho na fabricação de artefatos diversos; b) Grupo da palha de trigo - mulheres que trabalham com dressa (palha de trigo trançada) na produção de artefatos; c) Grupo do vime – família que trabalha com vime na produção de cestaria e móveis. Buscou-se compreender se os modos de vida sociocultural e de produção artesanal, seus significados e valores, envolvem processos de design e sustentabilidade. As análises das categorias apontaram para a necessidade do campo do design ser de fato permeado por uma reflexão sobre a produção social dos artefatos, sobre o homem e o universo sociocultural e natural em que está inserido.

Kontrola zdravlja vimena krava je bitan element u procesu proizvodnje zdravstvenobezbednog mleka, te se na farmama visokomlečnih krava, kroz program kontrole mastitisa,redovno sprovode mere otkrivanja i prevencije bolesti vimena. Klinički pregled vimenapredstavlja osnovni metod koji pruţa korisne informacije o zdravstvenom statusu vimenakrava, ali nailazi na poteškoće u otkrivanju patoloških promena unutar parenhima i papilevimena. U cilju otkrivanja promena u parenhimu vimena moţe se primeniti ultrazvučnipregled koji omogućava vizualizaciju strukturnih promena vimena nastalih kao posledicaupalnih procesa i tako olakšava dijagnostiku oboljenja.Tokom poslednjih godina, javio se problem povećanja rezistencije bakterija naantimikrobne lekove, što oteţava lečenje bolesti, ali i ugroţava zdravlje ţivotinja i ljudi.Najčešći uzroci toga su nepravilna upotreba i eventualna zloupotreba antimikrobnih lekova.Mnoga istraţivanja vršena su u in vitro i in vivo uslovima na primeni laktoferina samog ili ukombinaciji sa antibioticima u terapiji i prevenciji mastitisa krava. Laktoferin, gvoţĎevezujući antimikrobni glikoprotein koji se nalazi u mleku i drugim sekretima, predstavljabitan deo sistema odbrane mlečne ţlezde.Cilj istraţivanja u okviru ove disertacije je procena dijagnostičke mogućnostiultrazvučnog pregleda u detekciji subkliničkog mastitisa i poremećene sekrecije vimena,kao i razmatranje opravdanosti primene laktoferina u prevenciji i lečenju mastitisa.Kliničkim pregledom izvršena je procena opšteg zdravstvenog stanja krava, kao iispitivanje mlečne ţlezde adspekcijom i palpacijom. Za otkrivanje poremećene sekrecijevimena i subkliničkih mastitisa korišćeni su brzi testovi, Kalifornija mastitis test iDraminski test, kao i ultrazvučni pregled mlečne ţlezde krava. OdreĎivanje broja somatskihćelija u uzorcima mleka uraĎeno je metodom protočne citometrije. Za identifikacijuuzročnika mastitisa korišćene su klasične mikrobiološke metode. Krave sa pozitivnimbakteriološkim nalazom podeljene su u dve ogledne grupe. Krave ogledne grupe I sutretirane intramamarnom aplikacijom antibiotika, dok je kravama ogledne grupe IIaplikovana kombinacija antibiotika i laktoferina. OdreĎivanje koncentracije imunoglobulinaG u mlečnom serumu krava vršeno je metodom radioimunodifuzije, a odreĎivanjekoncentracije laktoferina u mleku krava ELISA testom.U istraţivanjima u okviru ove disertacije, najčešće izolovani major mastitis patogenibile su bakterije Staphylococcus aureus i Streptococcus agalactiae, a najčešće izolovaniminor mastitis patogeni Corynebacterium spp. i koagulaza negativne stafilokoke.Ultrasonografija mlečne ţlezde krava pokazala se kao efikasna metoda u dijagnosticiporemećaja sekrecije vimena. Veće vrednosti koncentracije imunoglobulina G u mlečnomserumu krava uočene su tokom perioda predzasušenja i zasušenja, u odnosu na period ranelaktacije. Najveći uticaj na porast koncentracije laktoferina u mleku krava su imalibakterijski uzročnici mastitisa. Efikasnost antibiotske terapije primenjene tokom periodazasušenja kod krava ogledne grupe I iznosila je 52,7%, dok je efikasnost primenjene terapijesa goveĎim laktoferinom i antibiotikom kod krava ogledne grupe II iznosila 60%. Aplikacijalaktoferina tokom perioda zasušenja doprinela je efikasnosti terapije intramamarnihinfekcija, ali nije imala uticaj na koncentraciju laktoferina u mleku tokom perioda ranelaktacije.Dalja istraţivanja su neophodna kako bi se u potpunosti potvrdila efikasnostintramamarne terapije sa goveĎim laktoferinom i antibiotikom u cilju eliminacije uzročnikamastitisa i da se precizno odredi terapijska koncentracija laktoferina.
Control of udder health is an essential element in the process of safe milkproduction, thus, through the mastitis control program, dairy farms regularly conductmeasures of detection and prevention of udder diseases. Clinical examination of the udderis a basic method that provides useful information about the health status of cow udders,but this method is limited in its ability to detect pathological changes in the udderparenchyma and teat. In order to detect changes in the parenchyma of the udder, anultrasound can be applied which allows visualization of udder structural changes incurredas a result of inflammatory processes, thus facilitating diagnosis of diseases.Over the last few years, the problem of increasing resistance to antimicrobial drugshas appeared, making it difficult to treat disease and also threaten the health of animals andhumans. The incorrect and widespread use of antimicrobial drugs are the most commoncause of this. Many studies were conducted in vitro and in vivo conditions on the use oflactoferrin alone or in combination with antibiotics in the treatment and prevention ofmastitis. Lactoferrin, an iron-binding antimicrobial glycoprotein which is found in milkand other secretions, represents an important part of the mammary gland defense system.The aim of the research within this thesis was to evaluate the diagnosticpossibilities of udder ultrasonography in the detection of subclinical mastitis and uddersecretion disorders, as well as considering the feasibility of lactoferrin application in theprevention and treatment of mastitis.The general condition of the animals was evaluated by clinical examination, aswell as udder examination by adspection and palpation. The California mastitis test,Draminski test and ultrasound examination of the cow's mammary glands were used fordetection of udder secretion disorders and subclinical mastitis. Somatic cell count in milksamples was determined by flow cytometry method. Classical microbiological methodswere used for the isolation and identification of mastitis causative agents. Cows withpositive bacteriological findings were divided into two experimental groups. Cows inexperimental group I were treated with intramammary applications of antibiotics, while thecows in experimental group II were treated with a combination of antibiotics andlactoferrin. Immunoglobulin G concentration in bovine milk serum was determined by theimmunodiffusion method, while lactoferrin concentration in bovine milk was determinedusing the ELISA test.In this study, the most common isolated major mastitis pathogens wereStaphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus agalactiae, while Corynebacterium spp. andcoagulase-negatice staphilococci were the most commonly detected minor mastitispathogens. Ultrasonography of the bovine mammary gland proved to be an effectivemethod in the diagnosis of udder secretion disorders. Higher immunoglobulin Gconcentrations were observed in milk serum from cows during pre-dry and dry period,relative to early lactation period. The biggest influence on the increase in the concentrationof lactoferrin in the bovine milk had mastitis pathogens. The efficacy of antibiotic therapyduring the dry period in cows of experimental group I was 52.7%, while the efficacy of theapplied therapy with lactoferrina and antibiotics in cows of experimental group II was60%. Application of lactoferrin during the dry period contributed to the effectiveness ofthe treatment of intramammary infections, but had no influence on lactoferrinconcentration in the milk during the early lactation period.Further studies are necessary to in order to fully confirm the efficacy ofintramammary therapy with bovine lactoferrin and antibiotic to eliminate the mastitispathogens and to determine the therapeutic concentration of lactoferrin.

Die ER-assoziierte Proteindegradation (ERAD) ist Teil des Qualitätskontrollsystems am ER, um der Akkumulation von fehlgefalteten Proteinen im ER entgegenzuwirken. Hierbei werden ERAD-Substrate mit Hilfe von E3-Ligasen wie z.B. HRD1 ubiquityliert und anschließend durch den p97-Ufd1-Npl4 Komplex aus der ER-Membran extrahiert. Im Zytosol werden diese extrahierten Proteine vom 26S Proteasom abgebaut. Für die Retrotranslokation von ERAD- Substraten werden zudem die Membranproteine Derlin-1 und VIMP benötigt, welche mit p97 assoziieren und einen Proteinkomplex bilden. HERP ist ein ER-lokalisiertes Protein, dessen Synthese durch den UPR (unfolded protein response) als Antwort auf die Akkumulation von fehlgefalteten Proteinen im ER induziert wird. Dies deutet auf eine Rolle von HERP im ERAD hin. Interessanterweise besitzt HERP eine sogenannte UBL-Domäne. Für andere Proteine mit UBL-Domäne konnte eine Interaktion dieser Domäne mit dem Proteasom nachgewiesen werden. Daher kann angenommen werden, dass HERP ebenfalls mit dem Proteasom interagiert und dies zur ER- Membran rekrutiert, wo es für den Abbau von ERAD-Substraten benötigt wird. Das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit war es, die Rolle von HERP innerhalb des UPR zu ermitteln. Die hier präsentierten Daten zeigen, dass HERP essentiell für den Abbau des ERAD-Modell- Substrates CD3-delta ist. Somit hat HERP tatsächlich eine Rolle im ERAD. Außerdem wird eine direkte Interaktion von HERP mit der E3-Ligase HRD1 nachgewiesen. Es wird zudem gezeigt, dass HERP und HRD1 einen Proteinkomplex mit p97, Derlin-1 und eventuell auch mit VIMP bilden. Dieser ERAD Komplex ist folglich sowohl für die Ubiquitylierung als auch die Retrotranslokation von ERAD-Substraten verantwortlich und garantiert somit die effiziente Prozessierung von Proteinen aus dem ER. Zudem wird gezeigt, dass die UBL-Domäne von HERP im Gegensatz zu anderen UBL- Domänen nicht mit dem Proteasom interagiert. Somit kann nicht mehr davon ausgegangen werden, dass Proteasombindung eine Gemeinsamkeit aller Proteine mit UBL-Domäne ist. Dagegen wird eine Interaktion der UBL-Domäne von HERP mit dem deubiquitylierenden Enzym USP7 nachgewiesen. Dies deutet darauf hin, dass auch Deubiquitylierung eine wichtige Rolle im ERAD-Prozess spielt.
ER-associated protein degradation (ERAD) is part of the ER quality control system dealing with the accumulation of misfolded proteins in the ER. This process requires polyubiquitylation of ERAD substrates involving E3 ligases, such as HRD1, and their subsequent extraction from the ER membrane by the p97-Ufd1-Npl4 complex. Retrotranslocation of substrates into the cytosol for degradation by the 26S proteasome also involves the membrane proteins Derlin-1 and VIMP, which are associated with p97 to form a protein complex. The ER-resident protein HERP was shown to be upregulated by the unfolded protein response pathway (UPR) upon the accumulation of misfolded proteins in the ER. It was therefore considered to function in ERAD. Interestingly, HERP contains a UBL domain. In other proteins this domain facilitates an interaction with the proteasome, suggesting that HERP might recruit the proteasome to the ER membrane for efficient ERAD. The aim of this study was to investigate the function of HERP within the UPR. The findings presented here demonstrate that HERP is essential for the degradation of a model ERAD substrate. Thus, HERP indeed has a role in ERAD. Moreover, the data show that HERP directly interacts with the E3 ligase HRD1 and the two proteins form a common protein complex with p97, Derlin-1 and possibly also with VIMP. This suggests that both ubiquitylation and retrotranslocation of ER proteins are performed by one protein complex, enabling an efficient processing of ERAD substrates. This study also demonstrates that the UBL domain of HERP does not share the proteasome binding property of other UBL domains, suggesting that proteasome binding cannot be considered a general feature of all UBL domains. Instead, the HERP UBL domain is able to interact with the deubiquitylating enzyme USP7. Therefore, deubiquitylation might also be an important aspect in the proteasome-dependent degradation of misfolded ER proteins.

La thèse se centre sur une terre de Picardie, le Vimeu et porte un regard sur le paysage. Elle interroge le patrimoine vernaculaire et industriel et pour l’architecture, la prégnance de la maison. Ces recherches s’appuient sur plus de 20 ans d’intérêt pour cette région avec un corpus photographique et des archives personnelles. Ce corpus vient de toute une série de collections, un catalogue constitué de plusieurs classeurs.Cette thèse est une interrogation sur la valeur de l’ordinaire. Elle met en oeuvre la forêt obscure des signes dans une approche globale. La problématique esthétique se soulève par l’apprendre à voir, le regard sur toute chose, le sentir et le paraître. Elle ne concerne donc pas spécifiquement le paysage exceptionnel mais se préoccupe du peu, de l’infime et de ses habitants. L’ordinaire forme la majorité du territoire, contrée inconnue. Il n’y a pas plus habituel que ce paysage. Il est vulnérable et n’attire pas l'attention des grandes instances, car il ne porte que sur des enjeux sans profits. Je cherche à déterminer si la notion d'ordinaire accède au statut de catégorie esthétique.Le catalogue, véritable dispositif documentaire, rentre dans une démarche d’accumulation et d’archives proche de l’ethnologie muséale. Ici apparait toute la dimension artistique du travail. Il interpelle la mémoire, dans cette vision sensible des visages et des images multiples du paysage global où l’instrument s’affirme autant poétique que rationalisme logique. L'approche privilégie la raison poétique, esthétique, de l’ordinaire
The PhD centers on a place in Picardy, the Vimeu and considers the landscape. The PhD examines the vernacular and industrial heritage, and the pregnancy of houses, as far as architecture is concerned. This research is the fruit of a twenty-year interest for this region and relies on some photographic corpus, some personal archives, and a whole series of collections about the local vernacular.This PhD is a questioning about the value of the ordinary. It puts into practice the obscure maze of signs within a global approach. The aesthetic problematic is conjured up by learning how to look, by looking at everything, by perception and appearance. Thus, it does not specifically concern the amazing landscape, but concentrates on the little, the tiny, and its inhabitants. The ordinary constitutes the major part of this unchartered territory. Nothing is more common than this landscape. It is vulnerable and does not draw the attention of the highest authorities, because it only has non-profitmaking stakes. I want to determine whether this notion of the ordinary acquires the status of an aesthetic category.The catalogue which is a real documentary device is part of an accumulative and archiving process that comes close to museum ethnology. The entire artistic dimension of the work appears there. It appeals to memory through the perceptible vision of the various sides and multiple images of the surrounding landscape, where the instrument asserts itself as poetic, as well as pertaining to logical rationalism. This approach lays great store upon the poetic, aesthetic reason of the ordinary

Staphylococcus aureus је често присутан у вимену крава где може да узрокује појаву субклиничких и клиничких маститиса. Због способности синтезе термостабилних стафилококних ентеротоксина представља чест узрок тровања храном код људи. Многи аутори бавили су се испитивањем патогености сојева Staphylococcus aureus са аспекта здравља вимена, као и испитивањем патогености сојева пореклом из стадних узорака млека или из производа од млека, али постоји мало података о патогености сојева Staphylococcus aureus изолованих из узорака млека узетих из појединих четврти вимена крава, као и о њиховој филогенетској сродности са изолатима пореклом од људи. Због тога, циљ истраживања у оквиру ове докторске дисертације, био је да се испита патогеност изолата Staphylococcus aureus пореклом из појединачних узорака млека и секрета вимена крава и изолата пореклом из брисева гуше људи, као и да се испита филогенетска сродност ових изолата.На 46 газдинстава у централној Србији, Калифорнија маститис тестом идентификоване су краве са поремећеном секрецијом. Са две велике фарме у Војводини узети су узорци секрета из четврти вимена крава са клиничким маститисом. На Институту за јавно здравље Војводине у Новом Саду, узети су и брисеви гуше људи. Из наведених узорака коришћењем стандардних микробиолошких метода за изолацију и идентификацију, као и API Staph теста и доказивањем присуства nuc гена методом ланчане реакције полимеразе (PCR) 86 изолата потврђено је као Staphylococcus aureus. Из четврти вимена крава са субклиничким маститисом изоловано је 62 изолата, из четврти вимена крава са клиничким маститисом изоловано је 13 изолата, а из брисева гуше људи 11 изолата Staphylococcus aureus. За одређивање способности синтезе стафилококних ентеротоксина (SE) коришћен је VIDAS® SET2 тест на принципу ELFA методе. Присуство гена за синтезу појединих SE, присуство гена за синтезу Пантон Валентин леукоцидина (PVL) и гена за резистенцију на метицилин доказано је PCR методом. Диск дифузионом методом по Кирби-Бауеру одређена је осетљивост изолата на антимикробне лекове и то на амоксицилин, амоксицилин/клавуланску киселину, ампицилин, бацитрацин, неомицин, новобиоцин, пеницилин, тетрациклин, триметоприм и триметоприм/сулфаметоксазол. Анализом нуклеотидних секвенци гена за синтезу стафилококног протеина А утврђена је филогенетска сродност изолата Staphylococcus aureus пореклом из млека крава оболелих од субклиничког и клиничког маститиса, као и изолата пореклом из брисева гуше људи.Из 111 узорака млека узетих из четврти са позитивним CMT тестом Staphylococcus aureus изолован је из 62 узорка млека, што износи 55,86%. Од укупно 62 изолата Staphylococcus aureus пореклом из четврти вимена крава са поремећеном секрецијом, 5 (8,06%) синтетише стафилококне ентеротоксине и то само SECs, док 6 (54,54%) од 11 изолата Staphylococcus aureus пореклом од људи, синтетише стафилококне ентеротоксине и то и SECs и SEB. Присуство гена за синтезу Пантон-Валентин леукоцидина утврђено је код 5 (8,06%) од 62 изолата Staphylococcus aureus пореклом из четврти вимена крава са поремећеном секрецијом, као и код 7 (63,64%) од 11 изолата Staphylococcus aureus пореклом од људи. Изолати Staphylococcus aureus пореклом из вимена крава резистентни су на мањи број антимикробних лекова од изолата Staphylococcus aureus пореклом од људи на основу испитивања осетљивости на 10 антимикробних лекова. Свих 86 изолата Staphylococcus aureus су сензитивни на новобиоцин и триметоприм-сулфаметоксазол, док је 77 изолата (89,54%) резистентнона бацитрацин, 24 (27,91%) на пеницилин, а 14 (16,28%) на ампицилин. Присуство гена за метицилинску резистенцију утврђено је код 2 (18,18%) од 11 изолата Staphylococcus aureus пореклом од људи и код 1 (1,33%) од 75 изолата Staphylococcus aureus пореклом из вимена крава. На основу испитивања филогенетске сродности нуклеотидних секвенци гена за синтезу стафилококног протеина А код 75 изолата пореклом из вимена крава и 11 изолата пореклом од људи, 2 изолата Staphylococcus aureus пореклом од људи могу се сматрати прецима свих осталих изолата. Подаци о нуклеотидним секвенцама изолата Staphylococcus aureus пореклом од крава депоновани су у GenBank и додељени су им приступни бројеви од KJ023978 до KJ024046.Резултати истраживања указују на различита патогена својства изолата Staphylococcus aureus пореклом од крава са поремећеном секрецијом, због чега би њихово што раније откривање могло да има значајну улогу у очувању здравља вимена и у добијању квалитетног и здравствено безбедног млека.Неопходна су даља истраживања како би се у потпуности разјаснио утицај изолата Staphylococcus aureus из вимена крава на безбедност млека и производа од млека, као и на здравље људи.
Staphylococcus aureus je često prisutan u vimenu krava gde može da uzrokuje pojavu subkliničkih i kliničkih mastitisa. Zbog sposobnosti sinteze termostabilnih stafilokoknih enterotoksina predstavlja čest uzrok trovanja hranom kod ljudi. Mnogi autori bavili su se ispitivanjem patogenosti sojeva Staphylococcus aureus sa aspekta zdravlja vimena, kao i ispitivanjem patogenosti sojeva poreklom iz stadnih uzoraka mleka ili iz proizvoda od mleka, ali postoji malo podataka o patogenosti sojeva Staphylococcus aureus izolovanih iz uzoraka mleka uzetih iz pojedinih četvrti vimena krava, kao i o njihovoj filogenetskoj srodnosti sa izolatima poreklom od ljudi. Zbog toga, cilj istraživanja u okviru ove doktorske disertacije, bio je da se ispita patogenost izolata Staphylococcus aureus poreklom iz pojedinačnih uzoraka mleka i sekreta vimena krava i izolata poreklom iz briseva guše ljudi, kao i da se ispita filogenetska srodnost ovih izolata.Na 46 gazdinstava u centralnoj Srbiji, Kalifornija mastitis testom identifikovane su krave sa poremećenom sekrecijom. Sa dve velike farme u Vojvodini uzeti su uzorci sekreta iz četvrti vimena krava sa kliničkim mastitisom. Na Institutu za javno zdravlje Vojvodine u Novom Sadu, uzeti su i brisevi guše ljudi. Iz navedenih uzoraka korišćenjem standardnih mikrobioloških metoda za izolaciju i identifikaciju, kao i API Staph testa i dokazivanjem prisustva nuc gena metodom lančane reakcije polimeraze (PCR) 86 izolata potvrđeno je kao Staphylococcus aureus. Iz četvrti vimena krava sa subkliničkim mastitisom izolovano je 62 izolata, iz četvrti vimena krava sa kliničkim mastitisom izolovano je 13 izolata, a iz briseva guše ljudi 11 izolata Staphylococcus aureus. Za određivanje sposobnosti sinteze stafilokoknih enterotoksina (SE) korišćen je VIDAS® SET2 test na principu ELFA metode. Prisustvo gena za sintezu pojedinih SE, prisustvo gena za sintezu Panton Valentin leukocidina (PVL) i gena za rezistenciju na meticilin dokazano je PCR metodom. Disk difuzionom metodom po Kirbi-Baueru određena je osetljivost izolata na antimikrobne lekove i to na amoksicilin, amoksicilin/klavulansku kiselinu, ampicilin, bacitracin, neomicin, novobiocin, penicilin, tetraciklin, trimetoprim i trimetoprim/sulfametoksazol. Analizom nukleotidnih sekvenci gena za sintezu stafilokoknog proteina A utvrđena je filogenetska srodnost izolata Staphylococcus aureus poreklom iz mleka krava obolelih od subkliničkog i kliničkog mastitisa, kao i izolata poreklom iz briseva guše ljudi.Iz 111 uzoraka mleka uzetih iz četvrti sa pozitivnim CMT testom Staphylococcus aureus izolovan je iz 62 uzorka mleka, što iznosi 55,86%. Od ukupno 62 izolata Staphylococcus aureus poreklom iz četvrti vimena krava sa poremećenom sekrecijom, 5 (8,06%) sintetiše stafilokokne enterotoksine i to samo SECs, dok 6 (54,54%) od 11 izolata Staphylococcus aureus poreklom od ljudi, sintetiše stafilokokne enterotoksine i to i SECs i SEB. Prisustvo gena za sintezu Panton-Valentin leukocidina utvrđeno je kod 5 (8,06%) od 62 izolata Staphylococcus aureus poreklom iz četvrti vimena krava sa poremećenom sekrecijom, kao i kod 7 (63,64%) od 11 izolata Staphylococcus aureus poreklom od ljudi. Izolati Staphylococcus aureus poreklom iz vimena krava rezistentni su na manji broj antimikrobnih lekova od izolata Staphylococcus aureus poreklom od ljudi na osnovu ispitivanja osetljivosti na 10 antimikrobnih lekova. Svih 86 izolata Staphylococcus aureus su senzitivni na novobiocin i trimetoprim-sulfametoksazol, dok je 77 izolata (89,54%) rezistentnona bacitracin, 24 (27,91%) na penicilin, a 14 (16,28%) na ampicilin. Prisustvo gena za meticilinsku rezistenciju utvrđeno je kod 2 (18,18%) od 11 izolata Staphylococcus aureus poreklom od ljudi i kod 1 (1,33%) od 75 izolata Staphylococcus aureus poreklom iz vimena krava. Na osnovu ispitivanja filogenetske srodnosti nukleotidnih sekvenci gena za sintezu stafilokoknog proteina A kod 75 izolata poreklom iz vimena krava i 11 izolata poreklom od ljudi, 2 izolata Staphylococcus aureus poreklom od ljudi mogu se smatrati precima svih ostalih izolata. Podaci o nukleotidnim sekvencama izolata Staphylococcus aureus poreklom od krava deponovani su u GenBank i dodeljeni su im pristupni brojevi od KJ023978 do KJ024046.Rezultati istraživanja ukazuju na različita patogena svojstva izolata Staphylococcus aureus poreklom od krava sa poremećenom sekrecijom, zbog čega bi njihovo što ranije otkrivanje moglo da ima značajnu ulogu u očuvanju zdravlja vimena i u dobijanju kvalitetnog i zdravstveno bezbednog mleka.Neophodna su dalja istraživanja kako bi se u potpunosti razjasnio uticaj izolata Staphylococcus aureus iz vimena krava na bezbednost mleka i proizvoda od mleka, kao i na zdravlje ljudi.
Staphylococcus aureus is often present in cow's udder and may cause the occurrence of subclinical and clinical mastitis. Due to the ability to synthesize thermostable staphylococcal enterotoxins, it is a common cause of food poisoning in humans. Many authors have dealt with the examination of the pathogenicity of strains of Staphylococcus aureus in terms of udder health, as well as examining the pathogenicity of strains originating from bulk tank milk samples or dairy products, but there is a scarce amount of data on the pathogenicity of strains of Staphylococcus aureus originating from individual samples from udder quarters, as well as on their phylogenetic relatedness with isolates from humans. Therefore, the goal of the research within this dissertation was to investigate the pathogenicity of Staphylococcus aureus originating from individual samples of milk and udder secretions, as well as isolates from throat swabs of people and to examine the phylogenetic relatedness of these isolates.On 46 dairy farms in central Serbia, cows with abnormal secretion were identified using California mastitis test. From two large dairy farms in Vojvodina samples were taken from udder quarters with clinical mastitis. Human throat swabs were collected at the Institute of Public Health of Vojvodina in Novi Sad. From these samples a total of 86 strains of Staphylococcus aureus were isolated and confirmed by standard microbiological methods for isolation and identification, as well as API Staph test and by detection of nuc gene using the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). 62 isolates of Staphylococcus aureus were isolated from udder quarters suffering subclinical mastitis, 13 isolates were isolated from udder quarters suffering clinical mastitis, and 11 isolates of Staphylococcus aureus were isolated from human throat swabs. VIDAS ® SET2 was used for determining the ability of the synthesis of staphylococcal enterotoxins (SE) by the ELFA method and PCR method for the presence of respective SE genes. PCR method was used for determining the presence of gene for the synthesis of the Panton Valentine leukocidin (PVL), and the gene responsible for methicillin resistance in strains of Staphylococcus aureus. Susceptibility to antimicrobial drugs was determined by disk diffusion method by Kirby - Bauer to amoxicillin, amoxicillin/ clavulanic acid, ampicillin, bacitracin, neomycin, novobiocin, penicillin, tetracycline, trimethoprim and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole. Phylogenetic relatedness was determined by analyzing the nucleotide sequences of the genes for the synthesis of staphylococcal protein A between isolates of Staphylococcus aureus originating from cow's udder quarters suffering subclinical and clinical mastitis, as well as isolates of Staphylococcus aureus originating from human throat swabs.Out of 111 milk samples from CMT positive udder quarters, Staphylococcus aureus was isolated from 62 samples, which amounts to 55.86%. Out of 62 isolates of Staphylococcus aureus originating from udder quarters with abnormal secretion, 5 (8.06%) synthesized by staphylococcal enterotoxin and only it was SECs, while 6 (54.54%) out of 11 isolates of Staphylococcus aureus originating from humans, synthesize staphylococcal enterotoxin and they were SECs and SEB. The presence of a gene for the synthesis of the Panton - Valentine leukocidin was determined in 5 (8.06%) out of 62 Staphylococcus aureus strains originating from the udder quarters with abnormal secretion, and in 7 (63.64%) out of 11 strains of Staphylococcus aureus origin of humans. Isolates of Staphylococcus aureus originating from cow's udder wereresistant to fewer antimicrobials than isolates of Staphylococcus aureus originating from humans on the basis of susceptibility to 10 antimicrobials. All 86 strains of Staphylococcus aureus were sensitive to novobiocin and trimethoprim/ sulfamethoxazole, 77 strains (89.54%) were resistant to bacitracin, 24 (27.91%) to penicillin, and 14 (16.28%) to ampicillin. The presence of the gene for methicillin resistance was found in 2 (18.18%) out of 11 isolates of Staphylococcus aureus originating from humans and in 1 (1.33%) out of 75 isolates of Staphylococcus aureus originating from the cow’s udder. Analyzing the phylogenetic relatedness based on nucleotide sequences of the genes for the synthesis of staphylococcal protein A from 75 isolates from cow's udder, and 11 isolates from humans, 2 isolates of Staphylococcus aureus originating from humans can be considered to be the ancestors of all the other isolates in terms of gene mutation ratio give at respective period. Data on the nucleotide sequences of isolates of Staphylococcus aureus originating from cows were deposited in GenBank and assigned the accession numbers of KJ023978 to KJ024046.Results of study on diverse pathogenic properties of Staphylococcus aureus originating from cows with abnormal secretion, indicate the importance of their early detection that could have a significant role in maintaining the cow’s udder health and in obtaining quality and safe milk.Further research is necessary in order to fully clarify the impact of Staphylococcus aureus from the cow's udder to the safety of milk and dairy products, as well as human health.

KOVÁRNOVÁ, P. (2015): Regional identity of the inhabitants of the Šumava foothills: comparison of towns Klatovy, Sušice, and Vimperk. Master thesis. Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Science, Department of Social Geography and Regional Development, Prague, pp. 98. The thesis deals with the regional identity of the inhabitants of the Šumava foothills. The main goal of the thesis is to identify and evaluate the factors forming regional identity in the Šumava foothills which could be considered as a base for discussions on the possibilities of future regional development of this region. The thesis is based on general assumptions of study of territorial identities and border peripheries, which are based on heuristics of literature discussing the process of forming regional identity, polarization of space, and the problematics of the areas of peripheral and border regions. The assessment of differences of regional identity in continuously inhabited, partly relocated, and resettled areas is component objective which is focused on the definition and assessment categories determining the potential formation of regional identity. The object of the research are the three places with extremely complicated historical development, the towns Klatovy, Sušice, and Vimperk. The achievement of this objective...

Districts Prachatice and Vimperk could be marked within Czech Republic as peripheral territory with decreasing population. These losses are especially noticeable in mountain areas of these districts. Decreasing of numbers of inhabitants and schoolchildren leads to disappearance of local elementary schools and to reducing the number of pupils in these schools, and also to transformation of full elementary schools to incomplete elementary schools, mostly in form of small village schools with one or two classrooms. Diploma thesis monitors territorial distribution of elementary schools, territorial arrangement of their school catchment regions, territorial distribution of schoolchildren, availability of elementary schools with school buses and trains, takes stock of fullness of elementary schools and their classrooms, that all with goal to optimize territorial distribution these schools and their school catchment regions. Moreover, analysis of facilities elementary schools and their space and building characteristics are contained in diploma thesis. A separate attention is dedicated to elementary schools in Šumava part of study area, where solutions to sustain these schools even with small number of pupils are sought.

The goal of this thesis is to analyse development of two municipalities through the usage of attractions in the tourism industry. The first part focuses on the evaluation of demand side and supply side of tourism services and their impact on local development based on defined primary and secondary potentials in selected municipalities. The second part describes the options of utilization of funding programmes for tourism industry in selected municipalities and their impact on production in the region, including description of successfully completed or on-going projects that have an impact on the socio-economic development of municipalities.

As the marketplace for crowdfunding grows to an estimated $5 billion dollars in 2013, academic research exploring the second largest platform Indiegogo has been largely overlooked. This research identifies causal characteristics that differentiate content and social spread strategies across ten technology campaigns on Indiegogo, covering a wide pledge fundraising range from $13,417 to $1,960,503. The researcher’s central hypothesis that better content and spread strategy executions would generate more campaign activity and higher pledges was proven to be generally true, but also an oversimplification of complex variables. Successful campaigns can be defined by both the pledge amount raised and the percent of goal reached, whereas all campaigns surveyed reached over 100% of their set goal. All campaigns selected met three key criteria in that they: launched by April 1st, 2013 and ended before October 15th, 2013, lasted between 31 and 51 days and used a Vimeo video player with open statistics. A five tier framework was designed to classify Blockbuster, Intermediate and Base level performance. Close watch was given to mainly the campaign pitch video followed by page content and social media channels. The pitch video content analysis examines narrative content tactics, technical triggers and pledge participation prompts and found that higher performing campaigns generally aligned with the optimized content analysis units, with some exceptions. There was a strong connection between more video views, especially at the frontend of the campaign, raising greater pledge amounts. Campaigns with more page content comments leveraged higher audience participation and pledges. Social media activity mainly through Facebook Likes had the most impact on pledge participation across campaigns. Video source traffic arrived mostly to the Indiegogo page from social media, email marketing and to a lesser extent from referral blogs and website links. In summary, the characteristics that defined better content and spread strategy executions were certainly related to increased campaign activity and higher pledges, but exhibited complex behaviors requiring more data to comprehensively understand the direct impact on a campaign’s performance.

This thesis which is called ``The price of land in relation to its type and the attractiveness of its location{\crqq} should help to survey the region of Vimperk and Freyung Grafenau from the point of view of the value of land, both construction and agricultural sites. The aim of this thesis is not to create a precise map with land prices, but to establish an approximate price level in the different municipalities on the basis of proven land deals. Another aim is to provide an analysis of various differences between the price levels of construction land and agricultural land and to establish significant and more detailed price-making factors on the basis of which price divergences occur. In the Vimperk region we found, that the market price of construction land significantly differs from the official prices and these cannot be used as lead for market prices. In the case of agricultural land we found that the market price is a multiple of the official price. Whether we deal with construction land or agricultural land, the most important thing concerning the establishment of their market price is the approximate knowledge of market deals in the selected area. The prices in the various areas are always location specific. In the German region of Freyung Grafenau we have found a different situation in market prices for land in comparison with the one in the Czech border district. The main reason for this fact is the higher level of economic development of Germany and the living standard of its inhabitants besides a well functioning and long lasting free real estate market. However, due to the quick economic recovery of the Czech border district, real estate prices approach the market price level in the German border district. The Vimperk region has a developed market for agricultural land and thus we cannot speak of underdevelopment of this market segment (as mentioned by Jiri Nemec in his monograph Land law and market of land, 2004). One of the reasons for this development might be the higher profit levels of farmers due to subsidy programs of the European Union. An important factor of influence on higher prices on the market for construction land is the intensive development of tourism, especially in the region of nature resort Sumava. In municipalities where tourism is a minor factor of importance, other data are significant for the price level such as number of inhabitants, local employment and other opportunities.

The thesis is aimed on the present state of beekeeping in Vimperk area. Main source of informations consists of questionnaire investigation among beekeepers in each beekeeper society in the area.

Literary review consists of apiculture history and its significance in the Czech Republic, and the history of beekeeping societies. Also information about support of apiculture and elementary beekeeper terms in relation with the questionnaire supplement the results of the research

This thesis deals with the charting of jewish settlement in Sumava and Posumavi, and also with history and present of the selected villages - Vimperk, Čkyně, Vlachovo Březí, Volyně, Dub, Prachatice and Volary. The first part characterises the jewish settlement in Sumava and Posumavi. Furthermore, it describes aforementioned villages and occupied with their jewish history, sights, personalities and current condition. The second part contains questionaire with 10 basic questions, regarding to jewish history at Prachaticko, and also contains comparison of three surveyed schools: Elementary school Husinec, Elementary school Vlachovo Březí and Prachatice High school. In every surveyed school, there were questioned scholars of 8th and 9th classes. The best results reached scholars of Prachatice High school, then of Elementary school Vlachovo Březí and the last place tooked by scholars of Elementary school Husinec. Despite the fact that this issue is not occupied until 9th class, knowledge of scholars in 8th class is high.

The present investigation, is born from the necessity of preserving Madeira island’s craftsmanship, their technics and products, from Madeiran Embroidery, Wicker, Wood Inlays, “Palmito” and “Canavieira”. This work was elaborated to present these crafts that still deserve attention and respect for their fundamental part in the history of Madeira archipelago, and was made to generate interest in possible future applications for each craft, if they get the chance to remain active. Craftsmanship is fundamental for the study and comprehension of each nation’s evolution. It representes the history, culture and identity of where they are made, as well as the knowledge of the craftsmen. And Madeira Island’s craftsmanship is no exception. Keeping in mind the importance at a social level that craftsmanship has, it’s imperative that Madeira’s crafts are studied and preserved. Divided in multiple fases, this project is initiated with a general craftsmanship synthesis and another specifically about Madeira’s craftsmanship, diving after into each craft, considered relevant for the local identity, being not often found outside of the archipelago. These crafts were, Wicker, Madeiran Embroidery, Wood Inlays, “Palmito” and “Canavieira”. Craftsmanship has a big connection to design, from their origin to nowadays with innovation from partnerships like in the world of fashion, not leaving product design out as an exception. With the objective of celebrating the regional craftsmanship and the intention of valuing once again the madeiran craftsman, through inovation followed by tradition, resulted the making of a product the had the wicker craftsmanship as a base and was inspired by the famous regional product, the Monte’s wicker toboggan.

Dissertação de mestrado em Património e Turismo Cultural
Numa era em que o digital impera, os indivíduos vivem rodeados por informação à qual podem aceder instantaneamente, a qualquer hora, através de um clique ou de um movimento de dedo. A Internet é uma fonte de informação que une o mundo e que se usa com frequência para obter informações e opiniões, principalmente no universo do turismo. Antes de viajar, procura-se saber o que se pode ver no destino e quais as experiências que se pode viver. Para tal, pesquisa-se as experiências que os turistas tiveram e as informações oferecidas por instituições de turismo locais. Uma das maneiras de obter informação é através de vídeos promocionais dos locais que pesquisamos. O turismo é uma atividade económica importante para o desenvolvimento de um destino turístico e tem crescido a nível mundial de forma exponencial. O turismo cultural, em particular, tem aumentado devido à afluência de turistas com um perfil mais voltado para a aprendizagem, para descobrir a História, o património e viajar ao passado e às tradições dos locais que visitam. Dado o crescimento da procura por destinos relacionados com turismo cultural, neste estudo pretende-se perceber qual a influência dos vídeos promocionais desses locais na criação de uma imagem de destino positiva. Pretende-se descobrir igualmente se há relação entre a popularidade do vídeo e a do destino, se os vídeos mais populares correspondem aos destinos mais visitados.
In an age where the digital has become norm, people live surrounded by information that they can access instantaneously, at any time, through a click or a flick of a finger. The Internet is a source of information that connects the world, allowing everybody to easily get information and read users’ opinions, especially in the universe of tourism. Before travelling, people search for what they might see at a given destination and what experiences they can look forward to having there. In order to do this they can rely on users’ experience sat that location and the information supplied by local tourism institutions. One way to find information is through promotional videos of the places that they are searching. Tourism is an important economic activity for every touristic destination’s development and has been growing worldwide in an exponential way. Cultural tourism, in particular, has been growing due to the bigger amount of tourists that are more interested in learning, in discovering History, patrimony and that want to travel to the past and experience traditions of the places they visit. Given the growth of the search for cultural tourism destinations, in this study we want to understand what influence promotional videos have in the creation of a positive destination image of these cultural tourism locations. We are also looking for a possible connection between one video’s popularity and one destination’s popularity and if the most popular videos correspond to the most visited destinations.
