Krishnan, Vaidyanathan. "The nature of Turbulence in a Narrow Apex Angle Isosceles Triangular Duct". Doctoral diss., University of Central Florida, 2007. http://digital.library.ucf.edu/cdm/ref/collection/ETD/id/3811.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
An experimental investigation was performed to ascertain the nature of turbulence in a narrow apex angle isosceles triangular duct. The study involved the design and construction of a low noise, low turbulence wind tunnel that had an isosceles triangular test section with an apex angle of 11.5[degrees]. Experiments involved the measurement of velocity fluctuations using hot wire anemometry and wall pressure fluctuations using a condenser microphone. Measurement of the velocity fluctuations reconfirms the coexistence of laminar and turbulent regions at a given cross section for a range of Reynolds numbers. The laminar region is concentrated closer to the apex while the turbulent region is found closer to the base. The point of transition is a function of the Reynolds number and moves closer to the apex as the flow rate is increased. Moreover, it was found in this investigation that traditional scaling of the turbulent statistical quantities do not hold good in this geometry. Although velocity fluctuations showed distinctive flow regimes, no such distinction could be seen in the dynamic wall pressure data. The nature of the dynamic wall pressure was uniform throughout the entire cross section suggesting that wall pressure fluctuations, unlike the velocity fluctuations, are able to travel from the base to the apex, without being damped. This implies that the relationship between the velocity and the pressure fluctuations applicable in the other systems does not hold well in a narrow apex angle isosceles triangular duct. Further, the typical scaling relationships applied to wall pressure spectra of other geometries doesn't apply in this scenario and the ratio of the RMS pressure fluctuation to the mean shear is much higher compared to a flat plate or pipe flow situation.Ph.D.

Este artículo discute los procesos de modernización minera que se han dado en Latinoamérica, particularmente en el contexto de una nueva geografía de industrialización tardía cuyo centro gravitacional ha girado hacia las economías del Este asiático. A través de la crítica marxista de la ecología, se pretende explicar la manera en que tanto el territorio como el ser humano se han visto despojados de su especificidad concreta para pasar a ser parte de los poderes enajenados del capital. La intensificación en el uso del suelo que se da tras la robotización y computarización de la actividad minera no solo ha convertido el entorno biogeofísico en un momento constitutivo de las fuerzas de producción: también ha implicado la transformación sistemática de campesinados en muchedumbres que se desempeñan como meros apéndices de los sistemas técnicos de la extracción, o como poblaciones sobrantes. El llamado superciclo de materias primas se inserta de esta manera en una nueva fase de acumulación mundial, cuya determinación concreta es el incremento en la productividad a través de la automatización de la maquinaria y la fragmentación de la subjetividad productiva de la clase obrera internacional.This article addresses the processes of technological modernization that have taken place in Latin America’s mining industry, especially in the context of a new geography of late industrialization whose gravitational center has shifted towards East Asian economies. Through the Marxist critique of ecology, the paper explains the ways in which both human and nonhuman natures have been emptied of their concrete specificity in order to be transformed into the alienatedpowers of capital. The intensification in land use that has followed the robotization and computerization of large-scale mining has not only reconfigured the biogeophysical environment into a constitutive moment of the forces of production, but also entailed the systematic transformation of peasantries into dispossessed multitudes that act as mere appendages of technical systems of extraction, or as surplus populations. The reorganization of the mining industry into global supply chains requires rethinking extraction beyond primary commodity production, and interrogating its organic unity with the modern mode of production generally considered.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
L'octroi de garanties bancaires à la couverture du risque de non remboursement des crédits obtenus, comporte un coût pour l'entreprise et, notamment, pour les petites et moyennes entreprises (P. M. E. ). Le cout global lié à la garantie des dettes comprend deux aspects : les couts directs (immédiat et futur) et les couts induits (permanent et potentiel). Ces deux aspects du cout de la garantie ont été mis en évidence à partir de données empiriques. Les couts directs sont, dans une certaine mesure, quantifiables. Le résultat de leur analyse montre la primauté du cout direct des suretés personnelles sur celui des suretés réelles. Mais, la garantie hypothécaire engendre le cout direct le plus important dans l'ordre des suretés réelles. En revanche, les couts induits ne sont pas quantifiables dans tous les cas envisageables. Ceux-ci ont donc été mis en évidence à partir de la perception "consciente" des risques générateurs, auprès d'un échantillon de 50 dirigeants de P. M. E. Ces couts peuvent être aussi importants que ceux dits directs. Par ailleurs, la perception des risques générateurs des couts induits, chez les dirigeants enquêtés, est fonction, plus fréquemment, de certaines caractéristiques de structure de leur entreprise que d'autres. Le cout global des différentes modalités de garantie étudiées demeure donc partiellement quantifiable. Le problème de mesure est lié à la difficulté de maitriser le caractère conditionnel et incertain de certaines sources de ce cout. Néanmoins, il a été proposé, dans une optique de prise de décision de financement assorti de garantie, un essai de formalisation donnant une vision synthétique du cout réel de la garantie de type sureté réelle. Des voies de prolongements souhaitables de cette recherche ont, également, été proposéesThe need to provide collateral securities to cover risks of unpaid debts implies that some financial costs will be incurred by companies and particularly, small and medium-sized firms. The total cost linked to any guarantee comprises two aspects : direct costs involving the immediate and futur cost and, induced costs involving the permanent and potential cost. The nature of these two types of costs has been emphasized here empirically. Direct costs and, to a certain extent, be quantified. The result of their analysis shows that the direct cost of personal securities takes precedence over that of real securities. But mortgage gives rise to the highest level of direct costs when compared to all other real securities. On the other hand, induced costs can not be quantified in all possible cases. A survey involving 50 managers of small and medium-sized companies shows that induced costs are highlighted through the entrepreneur's awareness of the risks generating them. These costs may also be just as important as direct costs. Incidentally, in the case of those companies comprising the above sample, the manager's conception of risks generating induced costs is a function of certain structural characteristics of his firm rather than its other features. However, the total cost of the different types of guarantees studied remains only partially measurable. The measurement problem is linked to the difficulty in controlling the uncertain nature of some sources of this cost because the latter are subject to numerous conditions. Nevertheless, it has been suggested that a formal approach can be taken in order to determine the real cost of guarantees involved in corporate financial policies. Finally, some propositions, for further research, are also made

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Au regard des débats actuels polarisés autour du concept de « personne », cette recherche se donne comme but d’explorer l’approche du théologien orthodoxe Dumitru Stăniloae relative à la personne dans son versant anthropologique. À cet effet, le présent travail tâche d’une part de repérer et de révéler les éléments qui édifient sa réflexion de la personne, à savoir les composantes de la personnéité humaine, et d’autre part, les sources à la fois théologiques et philosophiques ayant inspiré et influencé de manière déterminante notre auteur. Expression d’une jonction de la théologie patristique orientale (byzantine) et de la pensée moderne, la personne comporte ainsi, chez Staniloae, une structure ontologique-communautaire, dont le pôle ontologique plonge ses racines dans l’héritage des Pères et le pôle relationnel ou communautaire, dans les avancées de la réflexion moderne : associée à l’hypostase des anciens, la personne se définit comme mode de subsistance ou d’existence réelle de l’être, tandis qu’assimilée au sujet et au moi modernes, elle se présente comme facteur conscient et libre en relation d’amour avec autrui. Représentée donc comme subsistance en soi et existence en communion, la personne manifeste, chez notre auteur, l’aboutissement de toute une série de confluences : du passé et du présent, de l’Orient et de l’Occident, de la théologie et de la philosophie, de l’orthodoxie et des deux autres confessions chrétiennesConsidering the current debates polarized around the concept of "person", this research aims to explore the approach of the orthodox theologian Dumitru Staniloae relative to the person in its anthropological side. In this purpose, the present work tries on one hand to identify and to reveal the elements which compose his reflection of the person, namely the components of the human personhood, and on the other hand, the theological and philosophical sources having inspired and influenced our author. As a junction of the oriental patristic theology and the modern thought, the person contains, at Staniloae, an ontological-communitarian structure. The ontological pole plunges its roots into the inheritance of the Fathers and the relational or communitarian pole, in the progress of the modern reflection: associated with the hypostasis, the person is defined as mode of subsistence or real existence of the being, whereas likened to the subject and to the modern I, it appears as conscious and free factor in relation of love with others. Thus represented as subsistence in itself and existence in communion, the concept of person is the outcome of a whole series of confluences: of the past and of the present, of the East and of the West, of the theology and of the philosophy, of the orthodoxy and of two other Christian confessions

Segaud, Adeline. "Contribution à l'étude de la propriété des créances". Thesis, Paris Est, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010PEST2009.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Sous l'effet de l'utilisation répétée de la notion de propriété des créances par le législateur et par les juridictions, l'urgence de l'élaboration d'une théorie de la propriété des créances apparaît. Or ce sujet suscite encore controverses, réserves, interrogations et incertitudes. L'alliance de la propriété et des créances apparaît souvent comme une hérésie. En effet, la notion de propriété des créances est généralement condamnée, non seulement parce que la propriété des biens corporels est considérée comme la seule propriété authentique, mais aussi parce qu'elle semble s'intégrer difficilement dans la distinction traditionnelle des droits réels et des droits personnels. Pourtant n'est-il pas logique de se poser la question de savoir si cet usage réitéré de l'expression « propriété des créances » ne constitue qu'un dérapage linguistique sans portée réelle, ou s'il s'agit de l'expression d'une réalité qui se serait manifestée par le vecteur du langage ? La condamnation doctr inale de la propriété des créances ne repose-t-elle pas sur des présupposés théoriques ? Le principal enjeu de cette thèse consiste à se prononcer sur la possibilité théorique de la notion de propriété des créances. Peut-on juridiquement employer le terme propriété, dans son sens technique, pour désigner la relation qui unit le créancier à sa créance, ou bien s'il faut s'en tenir à la notion de titularité ? Au vrai, cette question de l'existence du concept de propriété des créances est primordiale car elle est aussi préjudicielle à celle de la protection de la créance par le biais du droit de propriété. Une fois l'adaptation du droit de propriété aux créances réalisée, ces biens incorporels n'auront effectivement plus qu'à se glisser dans le moule de la propriété et qu'à se nourrir de l'intérêt fondamental de cette notion, le bénéfice de sa protection assurément très efficace. Au fil de ces travaux, l'on découvre néanmoins que seul l'assouplissement de la rigueur de la défin ition classique de la propriété concilié à l'affermissement de celle des créances rend possible la compatibilité des deux notionsUnder the effect of repeated use of the concept of ownership of receivables by the legislature and the courts, the urgency of developing a theory of property claims appears. This subject still arouses controversy, reservations, questions and uncertainties. The combination of property and debt is often seen as a heresy. Indeed, the notion of ownership of the claims is generally condemned, not only because the ownership of tangible property is considered the only real property, but also because it seems to fit easily into the traditional distinction between real rights and personal rights. Yet is it not logical to ask whether the repeated use of the phrase "property claims" only a linguistic slippage without real significance, or whether the expression a reality which would have emerged by the vector of language? The doctrinal condemnation of property claims is not she pa on theoretical assumptions? The main goal of this thesis is to decide on the theoretical possibility of the concept of property claims. Can we legally use the term ownership in its technical sense, to designate the relation between the creditor's claim, or whether to stick to the notion of authorship? In truth, this question of the existence of the concept of ownership of receivables is important because it is also referred to the protection of the debt through property rights. Once the adjustment of property rights claims made, these intangible assets will effectively more than slipping into the mold of the property and that feed on the fundamental interest of this notion, the benefit of its certainly very effective protection. Throughout this work, however, one discovers that only the relaxation of the rigor of the classical definition of property reconciled to the consolidation of claims that makes possible the compatibility of both concepts

Salih, Shelanah. "Investigating the existence of neural stem cells in the adult mouse cerebellum and third ventricle". Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2016. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/31906/.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
In mammals, adult neurogenesis in the subventricular zone (SVZ) of the lateral ventricle and the subgranular zone (SGZ) of the dentate gyrus produces neurons contribute to learning and memory functions. However, more recent evidence suggests that neurogenesis may also happen in other regions of the brain such as striatum, spinal cord, and hypothalamus (Reviewed in (Riddle, 2007)). It is important to determine if neurogenesis also occurs in non-neurogenic regions of the adult brain such as CB and 3V. This would be of importance for potential future therapeutic applications for brain repair, and also to help understand the fundamental function of the different regions of the adult brain. This thesis tested the hypothesis that neural stem cells (NSCs) are present in the mature cerebellum (CB) and the lining of the third ventricle (3V). Based on this hypothesis, one of the major goals of this thesis was to isolate and characterise NSCs isolated from CB and 3V of adult mouse and weather they could generate neuronal and glial cells in vitro. Immunohistochemical analysis for NSC-associated markers revealed that the mature CB in mouse, chick, and primates contains a population exhibiting NSCs characteristics. Results showed that this population was the Bergmann glial located in the Purkinje cell layer (PCL) of the cerebellar cortex, which express Sox1, Sox2, Sox9, BLBP, and GFAP in a similar pattern. Some of these markers are common for neural stem/progenitor cells or radial glial cells in other brain regions. Observations in the 3V revealed that tanycytes lining the ependymal layer also express NSC and astrocytic markers. Moreover, cells were isolated from the CB and 3V of adult GFP+/-Sox1 mice and tested their ability to form neurospheres, their response to EGF and FGF-2, and their differentiation into neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes. CB and 3V-isolated cells were found to grow in culture, expand, and differentiate into neuronal and glial phenotypes. It was also observed that CB-derived NSCs could survive and differentiate into neuronal and glial lineages after long term removal of either EGF or FGF-2, although cultures were optimal in the presence of both mitogens. We also observed that cells cultured in either EGF or FGF-2 for 3 weeks had different effects on both CB and LV cells in terms of cell fate specification toward neuronal and glial lineages. This finding suggests the heterogeneity of NSCs population in the adult brain. The identification and mapping of the different NSC populations present in the adult brain offers some important opportunities for regenerative medicine approaches. In order to better characterise the cerebellar population of cells identified above, adult Bergmann glial was observed in a mouse model of cerebellar damage caused by the loss of PCs in pcd5J mutant mice. Calbindin immunostaining at different time-points showed that PC degeneration was visible at P21, then progressed rapidly and became considerable at P26 (nearly 70-80% loss), and by P100 all PCs were lost. Immunohistochemical analysis on sections of CB from pcd and wild type counterparts revealed an increase in Bergmann glia cells at P100 as well as the upregulation of GFAP expression. GFAP+ BG exhibited thick disorganised processes in the molecular layer (ML) at P100 in the mutant mice, with some cell bodies mispositioned in the ML, and significant shrinkage of both ML and internal granular layer (IGL). The increase in the number of Sox1+, Sox2+, and Sox9+ BG in 3 month old mutant mice was not visible at earlier time points analysed. These findings indicate that the PCs loss in pcd5J mice precede and possibly trigger the increase in the Sox1+, Sox2+ and Sox9+ cell population in the CB. Our results also showed that no proliferation activity was observed in the pcd mouse CB at revealed by Ki67 staining, suggesting that the CB microenvironment might not be permissive for neurogenesis even after PCs loss. In vitro isolation of NSCs the CB of P21 pcd mice was carried out, and although cultures appear slower to establish than wild type controls these cells did form neurospheres and express NSC markers. Further characterisation of CB-derived NSCs from pcd mice and their growth and differentiation potential will help better understand the dynamics and possible therapeutic targets for neurodegenerative disorders affecting the CB. The characterisation of CB and 3V derived NSCs from adult mouse CB has provided important information regarding their differences with NSCs derived from neurogenic region in the brain, the lateral ventricle (LV).

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This essay is an attempt to understand what Albert Camus philosophy of the absurd entails, using the figure of Sisyphus in The myth of Sisyphus as a reference. We all face the absurd: the discordance that results from the confrontation of the human longing for the absolute with the worlds non-absolute character. Camus illustrates this condition with Sisyphus among other “absurd heroes”. But what does he want to tell us about our existence with this metaphor? Is life a punishment? Or is it completely indifferent as Sisyphus improbable happiness might indicate? And how can Sisyphus represent us although he is not mortal in the original myth? In order to answer these questions, I investigate the following aspects of the absurd in this essay: what it tells us about the human condition or even the human nature; if it entails a life in indifference; how it is related to finitude; and finally in which sense Sisyphus is an adequate analogy for our existence. My analysis is a combination of an in-depth study of Camus book and a critical discussion of the commentaries of Robert C. Solomon, Arnaud Corbic, and Avi Sagi on The myth of Sisyphus. I conclude that the image of Sisyphus contains some inconsistencies, but that its main goal is to illustrate the constant act of balance, the conscious effort that never reaches its goal which life is for Camus. Such a life does however not need to be dark or indifferent, but rather on the contrary is an authentic life in knowledge of one’s boundaries and possibilities, a life where finitude highlights the value of what it restrains, a life worth living despite its difficulties. While arguing for this reading of Camus, I also attempt to show how this philosophy of the absurd already contains key elements of an ethical position which according to a common view on Camus only appears in his later works.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Christine de Pizan’s book La Cité des Dames (1405) is one of the earliest profeminine writings produced in the western world. The purpose of this study is to examine how the book depicts human nature, and the ethical consequences of its statements about human existence and essence. Pizan writes from a clearly catholic perspective, but her thinking differs from that of some of the most widely read theologians in her time, which makes it particularly interesting to look at her theological and philosophical ideas. To deepen the analysis I also take a look at the much more contemporary work Den nya kvinnostaden (2005) by the Swedish author Nina Burton, whose book explicitly draws inspiration from the text of Pizan. The questions asked are: 1. What is human nature according to La Cité des Dames? 2. What does this mean for the individual's life, relationship with others and the world around her? 3. How does Burton’s thought relate to that of Pizan? What are some similarities and differences? In short, the study finds that even though there are many similarities in the structure of the works, and even though both authors are advocates of women, their foundational values differ greatly from each other; while Pizan leans on her faith, Burton rather expresses existentialist ideas.Christine de Pizans bok La Cité des Dames (1405) är en av de tidigaste profeminina texterna som producerats i västvärlden. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur boken porträtterar den mänskliga naturen, och de etiska konsekvenserna som följer av dess påståenden om den mänskliga existensen och essensen. Pizan skriver från ett tydligt katolskt perspektiv, men hennes idéer skiljer sig från några av de mest lästa teologerna under hennes tid, vilket gör det särskilt intressant att titta på just hennes teologiska och filosofiska idéer. För att fördjupa analysen tittar jag också på det betydligt mer moderna verket Den nya kvinnostaden (2005) av den svenska författaren Nina Burton, vars bok uttryckligen hämtar inspiration från Pizans text. Frågeställningarna är: 1. Vad är människans natur enligt La Cité des Dames? 2. Vad betyder detta för individens liv, förhållande till andra och omvärlden? 3. Hur relaterar Burtons tanke till Pizans? Vad är några likheter och skillnader? Sammanfattningsvis finner studien att även om det finns många likheter i verkens struktur, och även om båda författarna är förespråkare för kvinnor, så skiljer sig deras grundläggande värderingar mycket från varandra; medan Pizan förlitar sig på sin tro, ger Burton snarare uttryck för existentialistiska idéer.

Till följd av både naturliga processer och antropogen påverkan växer Upplands största sjö, Tämnaren, igen, till lokalbefolkningens förfäran. Denna fallstudie kartlägger med hjälp av intervjuer och den miljöetiska kartmetoden de inblandade aktörerna och deras förhållningssätt i arbetet för sjöns bevarande. Detta för att få en förståelse för hur deras natursyn påverkar förutsättningarna för Tämnarens framtid. Studien baseras på tidigare studentarbeten och avser att vara ett komplement till dessa. Resultatet visar att ett samarbete mellan aktörerna är under utveckling men att de samtidigt har mer förväntningar på varandra än på sig själva. Aktörerna har spridda inställningar till nyttorna med Tämnaren och är heller inte helt överens om hur man bör gå tillväga, om något alls bör göras eller vem som ska göra vad. Slutsatsen är att för ett bevarande av Tämnaren bör samtliga aktörer identifiera sin egen nytta med Tämnarens existens för att på så vis hitta motivation till ett arbete mot ett gemensamt mål.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Bruno Latour, a former philosopher who turned to anthropology and sociology, whose work is so much known as controversial, has been developing a radical restatement of contemporary social sciences,with broad consequences for them, and in particular for sociology. Stating that the social does not exist, Latour claims the inclusion as «actants», as well as humans, of all kind of objects. According to Latour, in that way it would not be necessary to appeal to transcendent instances of experience, like huge historical processes, or entities in which a specific agent does not appear. After discovering Gabriel Tarde’s scientific production, who is considered by him as an antecessor of his ideas, Latour has lay down both a critique to the homo economicus, as well as to Marx’s vision on capitalism. This article intends to evaluate those critiques, making each author question the other.Bruno Latour, filósofo devenido en antropólogo y sociólogo, cuya obra es tan conocida como controversial, viene haciendo un replanteamiento radical de las ciencias sociales, con amplias implicancias para ellas, y muy en particular para la sociología. Sosteniendo que lo social no existe, Latour demanda considerar como «actantes», al igual que los humanos, a todo tipo de objetos. Según él así se evitaría recurrir a toda instancia trascendente a la experiencia, como grandes procesos históricos, o entes donde no aparece un agente específico. Tras su encuentro con la obra de Gabriel Tarde, a quien considera como antecesor de sus propias ideas, ha planteado una crítica tanto al homo economicus como a la visión de Marx sobre el capitalismo. Este trabajo hace un balance de dichas críticas haciendo que cada autor interrogue al otro.

O emprego da iluminação natural em salas de aula pode oferecer um ambiente visual mais agradável e de maior estímulo aos seus usuários, além de fornecer níveis adequados de iluminâncias para o desenvolvimento das atividades visuais, o que consequentemente pode gerar economia de energia elétrica. Apesar disso, os projetos de iluminação artificiais implantados na maioria das salas de aulas das escolas não consideram a presença da luz natural, atuando independente do sistema de iluminação natural existente. Esta pesquisa visa avaliar duas propostas de integração dos dois sistemas de iluminação (artificial + natural) permitindo a suplementação do sistema de iluminação natural nos períodos em os valores de iluminâncias sejam insuficientes para a execução das atividades visuais. O processo metodológico envolveu o levantamento de um modelo de sala de aula padrão com abertura unilateral; a determinação de divisão de zonas de iluminação e a elaboração de simulações computacionais do sistema de iluminação natural existente e do sistema de iluminação artificial suplementar proposto através do programa Ligthscape v. 3.2. Os resultados permitiram a avaliação dos níveis de iluminação e das relações de contrastes entre luminâncias em pontos determinados. A pesquisa pretende contribuir para o emprego de um sistema de iluminação artificial diferenciado em salas de aula fornecendo um ambiente de maior qualidade para seus usuários.

Le but de cette thèse est de déterminer le parcours de l'élémentaire, de cerner ses frontières et de définir sa fonction dans l'oeuvre de Le Clézio. Notre étude consacrée aux romans (Le Procès-verbal, La Fièvre, Désert, Onitsha, Pawana), s'inspire essentiellement des méthodes de Bachelard et Eliade. Le thème de la quête de soi et du vécu articule notre développement. La 1ère approche met en évidence le vécu aléatoire de l'humain, la violence du social qui motivent la quête d'un nouveau mode d'être, lequel ouvre la conquête de l'imaginaire et d'une parole libre et totale. A travers la rêverie cosmique, le mouvement dynamique de la matière est analysé (la terre, l'eau, le feu, l'air). Le besoin de connaissance et de délivrance devient le reflet d'une réalité autre, d'un "là-bas" qui échappe à la conscience de la veille parce qu'il célèbre l'élémentaire comme une conscience seconde, antérieure à la conscience humaine, voire à toute conscience. L'élément est ainsi en présence d'un onirisme qui est le vécu d'une plénitude ; il précise sa fonction poétique et problématise l'imaginaire littéraire qui n'est plus de dire le texte comme un être, mais de dire le texte comme un désir de fonder l'être. L'accomplisement devient une forme universelle du langage matériel. Ce que montre la dernière partie qui s'attache au "monde nouveau", au temps de l'âge d'or, celui de l'éternel retour et de l'éternel présentThe aim of this thesis is first to determine the elementary's route, then to define its boudaries and finally to specify its function in j. M. G. Le clezio's works. Our study which is devoted to the following novels : le proces-verbal, la fievre, desert, onitsha and pawana, is basically inspired by the methods of gaston bachelard and mircea eliade. The quest of oneself and that which has been lived sets out our development. The first approach brings the human's uncertain has been lived to the fore as well as the social violence, which all motivate the quest of a new way of being. That quest opens the conquest of the imaginary and of a free and total word. Through the cosmic reverie, the matter's dynamic movement is analysed (earth, water, fire, air). The need of knowledge and deliverance becomes another reality's reflection, of a "there" that escapes from the awareness of wakefulness because it celebrates the elementary as a second awareness, previous to the human awareness, perhaps to any awareness. The element presents in this way the fantasizing, that is the has been lived of a fullness ; it specifies its poetical function and complicates the literary imaginary, that is no more to tell the text as a being, but as a desire to found the being. The accomplishment becomes a univer form of a material language. All that is outline in the last part, that bounds itself to the "new world", to the golden age time, that of eternal return and eternal present

El elevado costo de los combustibles líquidos en la actualidad y la alta contaminación
producto de su combustión, hace necesario buscar nuevas alternativas energéticas. En
consecuencia, el gas natural se presenta como la mejor alternativa para reducir costos
energéticos con bajo impacto ambiental. Estos fundamentos son los que conllevan a la
búsqueda de alternativas de solución al suministro energético diferenciado tal como el Gas
Natural Comprimido (GNC). En el presente documento se realiza el estudio Másico,
Energético, Exergético y de Costos (EXCEM por sus siglas en Ingles) de una Unidad de
Compresión de Gas Natural (UCGN), componente principal de una Estación de Carga de
GNC) con el Objetivo de determinar los costos de producción del GNC y su variación
respecto de variables operativas del equipo. Para esto se eatableció la siguiente hipotesis:
“El incremento de la Eficiencia Exergética de la Unidad de Compresión de Gas
Natural de una Estación de Carga de GNC reduce del costo de producción de GNC.”
Basados en esto se plantea como objetivo principal determinar la relación existente entre
la Eficiencia Exergética de la UCGN en una Estación de carga de GNC y el costo de
producción de GNC. Para llegar al objetivo principal se plantean como objetivos
secundarios identificar los subsistemas energéticos de la UCGN, así como sus Flujos de
Energía mediante una metodología de evaluación aplicable a sistemas energéticos
(EXCEM) para que a través del establecimiento de las Bases Teóricas que gobiernan el
funcionamiento de la UCGN se puedan determinar sus principales parámetros de
funcionamiento y cuantificar los procesos de conversión de Energía y como estos influyen
en los costos asociados a la producción de GNC. Los resultados de este estudio se basan
en tres puntos de operación los cuales permiten determinar un análisis de sensibilidad del
Costo Exergético de GNC y la Eficiencia Exergética de la UCGN en donde se demuestra
que la hipótesis planteada en esta tesis es correcta. Finalmente, como conclusión principal
se establece que la reducción del Costo de producción de GNC para un ciclo de trabajo es
proporcional al incremento de la eficiencia exergética del sistema.Tesis

Cette thèse étudie l’intégration d’entités environnementales pour elles-mêmes (EEPM) dans la comptabilité générale d’entreprise. Nous resituons premièrement les termes de cette question (Q) dans le cadre des rapports Homme/Nature via une analyse de la Modernité. Nous en déduisons 3 approches-types de Q : une Moderne Orthodoxe centrée sur l’objectivation et incluant notamment la valeur d’existence ; une Moderne renvoyant à l’Ethique Environnementale, où les entités non-humaines sont subjectivées via la valeur intrinsèque ; une a-Moderne Ecologique Relationnelle. Nous montrons ensuite que la ligne narrative centrale de la comptabilité financière est celle du maintien d’un capital – Fundiste, Matérialiste ou monétaire. Nous redéfinissons ainsi la notion de capital de manière étendue et construisons un Modèle Comptable Intégratif (MCI), systématisant l’extension des états financiers à tout capital à partir du principe de maintien des capitaux. Nous relions finalement l’intégration d’EEPM selon chaque approche-type au maintien de certains capitaux et appliquons le MCI à ceux-ci pour obtenir des modèles comptables répondant de façon méthodique à QThis thesis studies the integration of environmental entities for their own sakes (EEOS) in external corporate accounting. We firstly place our question (Q) in the framework of Human – Nature relationships, through an analysis of Modernity. This leads us to define 3 generic approaches of Q: a Modern Orthodox one, focused on objectification and which includes in particular the existence value; a Modern one which refers to Environmental Ethics, where non-human entities are subjectified through the intrinsic value; an a-Modern Relational Ecological one. Then we prove that the fundamental narrative of financial accounting is the one of the maintenance of a capital – Fundist, Materialist or monetary. Thus we redefine the notion of capital in an extended way and we elaborate an Integrative Accounting Model (IAM), which systematises the expansion of financial statements to every capital from the capital maintenance principle. We finally connect the integration of EEOS, according to the different generic approaches, to the maintenance of some capitals and we apply the IAM to these capitals in order to obtain accounting models which respond to Q in a systematic way

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Au tournant du XXe siècle, et de façon de plus en plus prononcée jusqu’à la veille de la seconde guerre mondiale, la littérature de langue française se met à attribuer aux bêtes des capacités traditionnellement réservées à l’humain. Celles-ci possèdent, découvre-t-on, comme nous, une riche vie affective et émotionnelle, interagissent avec leur environnement en configurant, par production et interprétation de signes, un univers subjectif propre, communiquent avec les autres êtres vivants de manière complexe au moyen de diverses formes langagières, raisonnent, pensent intelligemment, ou encore vivent comme des individus ou des personnes dotés d’une histoire singulière. En somme, à une époque où prédominent, en philosophie, en science, en littérature, le paradigme anthropocentriste, des conceptions réductionnistes de la vie animale, les bêtes littéraires deviennent des sujets, elles se voient octroyer, par tout un ensemble d’écrivains, une existence. Celle-ci s’avère la plupart du temps énigmatique : la lecture et l’écriture ont dès lors pour objet son dévoilement, le déchiffrement mais aussi l’interrogation et la configuration du « grimoire » (Genevoix) animal. Notamment inspiré par cette métaphore heuristique, je souhaite dans cette thèse étudier comment, entre 1891 et 1938, la prose littéraire de langue française, donc toute une variété d’écrits, recrée l’existence animale, tente d’appréhender la nature concrète de la vie des bêtes et les relations que nous entretenons avec elles. Il s’agit finalement de mesurer la dimension éthique de ces textes qui, en déconstruisant l’anthropocentrisme, aident à repenser la façon dont nous considérons les bêtes et notre cohabitation avec ellesAt the turn of the twentieth century and increasingly until the Second World War, French-language literature started to provide animals with capacities that were traditionally reserved for humans. In the relevant texts, animals have a rich emotional life, they interact and communicate with their environment and other living beings in numerous and complex ways ; by producing and interpreting signs, they construct a subjective world of their own. They demonstrate, moreover, amazing reasoning and cognitive abilities and original personalities. In short, at a time when, in philosophy, science and literature, prevail the anthropocentric paradigm and reductionist conceptions of animal life, literary animals become subjects, they are granted, by a whole set of writers, an existence. This existence is most of the time enigmatic : reading and writing therefore involve its unveiling, the deciphering but also the questioning and configuration of the animal "grimoire" (Genevoix). Inspired in particular by this heuristic metaphor, I wish in this piece of research to study how, between 1891 and 1938, French-language literary prose, thus a whole variety of writings, recreates animal lives, tries to apprehend the concrete nature of animals and the relationships we have with them. My final goal is to measure the ethical dimension of these texts which, by deconstructing anthropocentrism, help to rethink the way we view animals and our coexistence with them

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Дисертація є комплексним теоретико-правовим дослідженням меж буття і дії позитивного права. В роботі проаналізовано джерелознавчу основу дослідження, вироблено авторське методологічне підґрунтя дослідження меж буття і дії позитивного права. Подано характеристику меж буття та дії позитивного права в контексті нормотворення. Розкрито поняття та зміст природних меж позитивного права. Проаналізовано співвідношення понять та сформовано теоретичне обґрунтування нормотворення і правотворення. Окреслено напрями дії позитивного права і його функції. Визначено ціннісні атрибути доктрини правоутворення в контексті сучасних державотворчих процесів та подано їх характеристику. Зроблено висновок, що позитивне право – це загальнообов’язкове, легально
примусове, формально визначене правило поведінки загального характеру, яке є творчістю держави, що врегульовує суспільні відносини, встановлюється чи санкціонується державною владою у визначеному порядку та охороняється нею засобами впливу. Для встановлення правил поведінки, регулювання суспільних відносин, санкціонування та охорони позитивного права потрібні конкретні межі
буття та дії. Ці межі обґрунтовуються ознаками, властивостями, які відрізняють позитивне право від інших соціальних норм, вказують на зовнішній державний імператив. Диссертация является комплексным теоретико-правовым исследованием границ бытия и действия позитивного права. В работе проанализировано источниковедческую основу исследования, произведено авторское методологическое основание исследования границ бытия и действия позитивного права. Дана характеристика границ бытия и действия позитивного права в контексте нормотворчества. Раскрыто понятие и содержание естественных границ позитивного права. Проанализировано соотношение понятий и сформировано теоретическое обоснование нормотворчества и правотворчества. Определены
направления действия позитивного права и его функции. Определены ценностные атрибуты доктрины правообразования в контексте современных процессов государствотворения и представлено их характеристику. Сделан вывод, что позитивное право – это общеобязательное, легально принудительное, формально определенное правило поведения общего характера,
которое является творчеством государства, регулирует общественные отношения, устанавливается или санкционируется государственной властью в определенном порядке и охраняется ею средствами воздействия. Для установления правил поведения, регулирования общественных отношений, санкционирования и охраны позитивного права нужны конкретные пределы бытия и действия. Эти пределы обосновываются признаками, свойствами, которые отличают позитивное право от
других социальных норм, указывают на внешний государственный императив. Обосновано положение о том, что преобразовательного воздействия позитивное право испытывает от естественного права, которое представляет ценность, которая не теряет своего значения ни при каких обстоятельствах,
поскольку естественно-правовая природа правовых законов, как ценностное отображение потенциала естественного права сочетается с потенциалом нравственности и принципа справедливости в праве. Правовые законы составляют основу обеспечения и защиты прав и свобод человека, они положительно влияют на развитие правосознания и правовой культуры личности, оказывают ценностную
специфику процесса правового воспитания членов общества. The dissertation is a complex theoretical and legal study of the limits of existence and action of positive law. The source analysis of the research is analyzed in the work, the author's methodological basis of the research of the limits of existence and action of
positive law is developed. The characteristics of the limits of existence and action of positive law in the
context of rule-making are given. The concept and content of the natural limits of positive law are revealed. The correlation of concepts is analyzed and the theoretical substantiation of norm-making and law-making is formed. The directions of action of positive law and its functions are outlined. The value attributes of the doctrine of law-making in the context of modern statebuilding processes are determined and their characteristics are given. It is concluded that positive law is a universally binding, legally coercive,
formally defined rule of conduct of a general nature, which is the work of the state, which regulates public relations, is established or sanctioned by state authorities in a certain order and protected by means of influence. Specific boundaries of existence and action are needed to establish rules of conduct, regulate public relations, sanction and protect positive law. These boundaries are justified by the features, properties that distinguish positive law from other social norms, indicate the external state imperative.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Die Dissertation leistet drei Beiträge zur Forschung: (1) Sie entwickelt ein neuartiges vierstufiges Modell wissenschaftlicher Theorien. Dieses Modell kombiniert logisch-empiristische Ansätze (Carnap, Popper, Frege) mit Konzepten von Metaphern & Narrativen (Wittgenstein, Burke, Morgan), erlaubt so deutlich präzisiere Beschreibungen wissenschaftlicher Theorien bereit und löst/mildert Widersprüche in logisch-empiristischen Modellen. (Realismus vs. Empirismus, analytische vs. synthetische Aussagen, Unterdeterminiertheit/ Holismus, wissenschaftliche Erklärungen, Demarkation) (2) Mit diesem Modell gelingt ein Reihenvergleich sechs biologischer Theorien von Lamarck (1809), über Cuvier (1811), Geoffroy St. Hilaire (1835), Chambers (1844-60), Owen (1848-68), Wallace (1855/8) zu Darwin (1859-1872). Dieser Vergleich offenbart eine interessante Asymmetrie: Vergleicht man Darwin mit je einem Vorgänger, so bestehen zahlreiche wichtige Unterschiede. Vergleicht man ihn mit fünf Vorgängern, verschwinden diese fast völlig: Darwins originärer Beitrag zur Revolution in der Biologie des 19.Jh ist klein und seine Antwort nur eine aus einer kontinuierlichen Serie auf die empirischen Herausforderungen durch Paläontologie & Biogeographie seit Ende des 18. Jh. (3) Eine gestufte Rezeptionsanalyse zeigt, warum wir dennoch von einer Darwinschen Revolution sprechen. Zuerst zeigt eine quantitative Analyse der fast 2.000 biologischen Artikel in Britannien zwischen 1858 und 1876, dass Darwinsche Konzepte zwar wichtige Neuerungen brachten, jedoch nicht singulär herausragen. Verlässt man die Biologie und schaut sich die Rezeption bei anderen Wissenschaftlern und gebildeten Laien an, wechselt das Bild: Je weiter man aus der Biologie heraustritt, desto weniger Ebenen biologischen Wissens kennen die Rezipienten und desto sichtbarer wird Darwins Beitrag. Schließlich findet sich sein Beitrag in den abstraktesten Ebenen des biologischen Wissens: in Narrativ und Weltbild – den Ebenen die Laien rezipieren.The dissertation makes three contributions to research: (1) It develops a novel 4-level-model of scientific theories which combines logical-empirical ideas (Carnap, Popper, Frege) with concepts of metaphors & narratives (Wittgenstein, Burke, Morgan), providing a new powerful toolbox for the analysis & comparison of scientific theories and overcoming/softening contradictions in logical-empirical models. (realism vs. empiricism, analytic vs. synthetic statements, holism, theory-laden observations, scientific explanations, demarcation) (2) Based on this model, the dissertation compares six biological theories from Lamarck (1809), via Cuvier (1811), Geoffroy St. Hilaire (1835), Chambers (1844-60), Owen (1848-68), Wallace (1855/8) to Darwin (1859-1872) and reveals an interesting asymmetry: Compared to any one of his predecessors, Darwins theory appears very original, however, compared to all five predecessor theories, many of these differences disappear and it remains but a small original contribution by Darwin. Thus, Darwin’s is but one in a continuous series of responses to the challenges posed to biology by paleontology and biogeography since the end of the 18th century. (3) A 3-level reception analysis, finally, demonstrates why we speak of a Darwinian revolution nevertheless. (i) A quantitative analysis of nearly 2.000 biological articles reveals that Darwinian concepts where indeed an important theoretical innovation – but definitely not the most important of the time. (ii) When leaving the circle of biology and moving to scientists from other disciplines or educated laymen, the landscape changes. The further outside the biological community, the shallower the audience’s knowledge – and the more visible Darwin’s original contribution. After all, most of Darwin’s contribution can be found in the narrative and worldview of 19th century biology: the only level of knowledge which laymen receive.

Based on the strong belief of the author/painter, it is the association with the entire natural world, internal or external, that makes life itself glorious. As a matter of fact, it seems that all the abundant supply of the elements needed for an artistic creation is contained in the very environment around us. And it is, furthermore, the primal law and order deeply embedded in it that has the strength of life hence characterized. The aesthetics, exclusively belonging to the classicism, is in essence meaningful and idealized. Such an essence of rationality and accommodation helps the author/painter establish the root belief and lay the groundwork for the later-displayed oil-painting series. The ultimate aim of this thesis is to present the harmonious effect a painting can bring to one’s sight. Through the observation and appreciation of the living phenomenon shown by all kinds of creation in the universe, the artistic characteristics displayed in the oil painting works, are therefore determined. With the initiation from the aesthetics and philosophical viewpoints, the integration of human and nature, the vitality of life is arisen. Personal ideology and value toward life is explicitly expressed and communicated by means of the painting works created by the author/painter. The essential relationship between human, the major part, and the natural surroundings, the minor part, is deliberately established on the ideal arrangements of multilevel. Furthermore, the worth of so-called humanities is manifested forth by the demonstrable arts shown in the performances and activities of the western society. There also come along a number of terminologies developed from the exposition of sense and sensibility. During the Renaissance in the 15th century, there went a thriving trend for aesthetics of classicism. It featured its optical art of diversified formula, which was in turn echoed by the Baroque spirit and attachment in the 17th century. Both of them lay much emphasis on the rational basis. The characteristics of the personalities and spirits derived from the author/painter’s works are hence embodied and projected. The materials for the inspiration of the created works are all retrieved from the authentic life. Every single item of creations from the natural environment is likely to be chosen as the focused material for the next piece of works. In accordance with the essence intended to be presented in the works, there include four categories: “Cradle of life – the ocean part”, “Vitality of life – the game part”, “Harmonious interaction– the human and animal part”, “Empathy and care – the body and soul part”. Art itself is not something static, but forever in a dynamic state. In other words, with any piece of artistic works placed in front, one is possibly to be fascinated by its contagious and convincing power, and in turn to feel free either in the implicit appreciation or in the explicit interaction. Key words: the environment, harmony, life, aesthetic perception, purify

This diploma thesis is based on the final works of Michel Foucault (Courage of truth, Fearless peech) and it focuses on how the truth and truth-telling as an activity effects self- formation of the individual, namely self-formation of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, which is recorded in his autobiografical works (Confession of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Dialoges: Rousseau, Judge of Jean-Jacques, Reveries of a Solitery Walker). In my thesis, I have tried to decide as which true-telling person he could be considered (prophet, sage, teacher, parrhesiastes or cynic). In order to achieve that, I drew from his other philosophical works and secondary literature (Discurses, Essay on the Origin of languages, Emile or On Education, The Social Contract, Letter to M. D'Alembert on Spectacles, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Transparency and Obstruction) and I was looking for evidence of his true nature and thoughts, which I put into context of his work Confessions afterwards. Keywords: Truth, courage of truth, parrhesia, parrhesiastes, cynic, self-love, false meaning about oneself, heart, passion, imagination, human nature, social inequalities.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
In this research I explore the interdependent nature of existence by means of both personal and objective criteria. My intention is to discover experientially the interrelated essence that pervades all phenomena.
Throughout human history a diverse range of people, including scientists, philosophers, writers, artists and mystics have employed a variety of methods to consider consciousness in relationship to what is termed 'reality'. Evaluating such contributions is essential to the broader inquiry. Core research areas including phenomenology, contemporary physics, Jungian psychology and environmental ethics are considered in relation to Buddhist beliefs and practices. Included in this study is an analysis of the Buddhist teachings on the 'Two Truths', 'Interbeing' and 'Emptiness'. Through these examinations a foundation to the research is established from which the proposition for an underlying elemental existence is evaluated and presented.
Artists such as Antony Gormley and the late Montien Boonma, who have investigated their own interrelated associations with the world are reviewed in the light of their personal considerations and visual explorations. Their disclosures together with the input of other artists pertinent to the examination help to conceptualise the artwork I have created within this inquiry.
While the diverse perspectives put forward by the individuals introduced throughout this exegesis are appropriate and significant, the predominant component of the research relies in general on my own distinctive revelations and contemplations. These are drawn from personal experiences and observations, which accentuate and substantiate the investigation. It is through various practices, including meditation and the visual research ( culminating in a three-dimensional mandala installation titled, Mandala of the Mind) that I explore, express, and attempt to understand the fundamental connection that I share with all humans and the natural world.

Abstract Self-existence in the world of images ：Series of “Natural Appearance” by Yu-Lin Wu It is difficult for one to avoid consciously or unconsciously endowing certain characteristics to what one senses in the external world. It is also difficult to avoid attaching a subjective element to the things one senses in order to facilitate the process of understanding and to organize one’s thoughts into a coherent framework. This is a personal sort of belief. One could even go so far as to say it is a subjective feeling; it is also an expression of the will. The will accompanies every step of one’s process of cognition. Whether or not one is aware of this, it is hard to totally break free from the influence of the subjective consciousness. This so-called will comes from and represents the subject “I”. It is because of every individual’s unique will that in his process of understanding, each person goes through a different experience of the world. Therefore, when one is in the process of comprehending the external world one is also in the process of understanding oneself. One’s sensations of the things and event in the external world reflect one’s private image and outlook of the world. Similarly, in the process of artistic creation, the subject conveys this private image which is reflected via the functioning of the will by way of an awakening of the senses. This also reflects the focus of the subjective consciousness. The subjective consciousness in turn deeply reflects the subject─the so-called “self”. Therefore works that are produced in this spirit will on one hand express one’s own “personal world construct” framework of the subjective consciousness, and on the other hand document the path of development and progress of the subjective consciousness. Consequently self-consciousness unfolds itself in art; by way of and together with art it reflects an image of the self. This allows the constitution of the domain of art to able to correspond with the human representation of his world within, even involving itself in the process of sublimation of the spirit. Simultaneously in the creation of tangible objects, self-consciousness, by way of the concretization of artistic images, also creates a connection between the spirit and the real world, specifically realizing the private will and desires of man. This also gives meaning to consciousness, consequently being able to help in the self-consciousness of the subjective experience and actualization of the real world. Summing up the preceding exposition, the research objectives of this paper are: 1. to examine the influence of subjective consciousness vis-à-vis personal artistic creation; 2. to study the expression of subjective spirit in personal artistic creation; 3. to explore the embodiment of artistic creation and self-existence; 4. to look within for a higher expression of self via artistic creation. The research framework of this thesis includes: 1. examination of the foundation of theories of artistic creation; 2. exploration of the concepts of artistic creation; 3. analysis in three parts of a series of works; in which said series of works, Natural Appearance, which saw its artistic development in Minsyong Township during 2001, is to be the main scope of research. The theoretical foundation will be laid in the second part of the paper. This paper cites artistic creation and Naturalism, Gestalt Theory, Structuralism, Sigmund Freud’s Theory of Psychoanalysis, Existentialism, and Eastern Mind Philosophy as the systematic statement of creative progress from subject to form, from form to the conception of internal abstraction. This extends to the creative concepts in the third part of the paper. This paper then more concretely expounds on the stimulation of inspiration by realizations one gleans through life experiences. The vicissitudes of life generate changes in personal psychological makeup; this brings about an effect in artistic creation that produces a manifestation different from previous creations of the artist. Therefore this explains more exhaustively the meaning of the symbols of the depiction and formation of the structure of the art work. Gestalt Theory and Structuralism will be used again to supplement the above statements. This paper will then elaborate more substantially how the statements above influences personal artistic creation. This paper will then delve into the realms of the illusory and the real in the psychology of artistic creation. It shall explain how this writer’s personal outlook on life consisting of alternation between the real and the imaginary influences the expression of her art. This paper shall also explain how this alternation plants a seed of doubt into this writer’s mind about her being, and how it drove her to search inwards for the true meaning of existence. The fourth part of the paper takes a close look at both the writer’s personal series of art works, Natural Appearance, and the points elaborated in this paper. In fact this is actually a documentation of the course of this writer’s personal growth and psycho mental changes during the process of creation. This writer incorporates Appearance of the Paddy Fields, Appearance of the Sea, and Appearance of the Mountains in her series of works because of her dealing with the creative theme of Natural Appearance. This advanced from realizations she made through comparisons of life experiences that gradually allowed her to see the inner essence of man; and in addition to that, realizations about self-existence revealed by art. This shows how art can accurately reflect man’s inner thoughts and beliefs. It also shows how it is able to simultaneously form concepts from artistic creation; and analyses and conclusions from creative progress. One can see the road traveled in the journey to personal growth after this mode of comparison and contrast. Key words: Will, subjective consciousness, self- existence, nature, paddy field, sea, mountain.

Orientação : Paulo Alexandre Correia NunesO Ecoturismo está a assumir um papel cada vez mais marcante tanto como produto complementar, como produto turístico central que utiliza a natureza de forma sustentada como o palco das suas realizações. Este produto promove uma nova forma de lazer turístico em que os visitantes se deslocam com o intuito de apreciar a natureza no seu estado mais puro e ausentar-se da rotina do quotidiano, muitas vezes através da prática de desportos de natureza. O Ecoturismo alia as componentes ecológica, ambiental e turística e, visa integrar a experiência turística com a protecção dos recursos naturais e construídos, a valorização económica e a participação da população local, constituindo um meio privilegiado para a sustentabilidade do território. O presente estudo permite contribuir para a valorização da Comunidade Intermunicipal do Médio Tejo por via do aumento da oferta turística, tendo por base o Ecoturismo.
Ecotourism is assuming an ever growing important role either as a complementary product, such as a central tourist product that uses nature in a sustainable way as the stage of their achievements. This product promotes a new form of leisure tourism in which visitors are moving in order to enjoy nature in its most pure status and absent themselves from the daily routine, often through the sports of nature. Ecotourism combines the ecological, environmental and tourist components, and intends to integrate the tourist experience with the protection of natural and constructed resources, the economic recovery and the participation of local people, constituting a privileged way to the sustainability of the territory. This study allows us to contribute to the enhancement of Intermunicipal Community of Middle Tagus by the increase of tourist offer, based on Ecotourism.

As the Tang dynasty rose to power and expanded into the present-day provinces of Sichuan and Yunnan, an endemic problem of troublesome frontier officials appeared along the border prefectures. Modern scholars have largely embraced Chinese historical scholarship believing that the lawlessness and remoteness of these southwestern border regions bred immoral, corrupt, and violent officials. Such observations fail to understand the southwest as a dynamic region that exposed assigned border officials to manage areas containing hardship, war, and unreceptive aboriginal tribes. Instead, the ability to act as an “effective” official, that is to bring peace domestically and abroad, reflected less the personal characteristics of an official and rather the relationship these officials had with the local native tribes. Evidence suggests that Tang, Tibetan, and Nanzhao hegemony along the southwestern border regions fluctuated according to which state currently possessed the allegiance of the native tribesmen. As protectors and maintainers of the roads, states possessing the allegiance of the local peoples possessed a tactical advantage, resulting in ongoing attacks and raids into the border prefectures by China’s rivals. Local officials without the allegiance of the locals and encountering attacks succumbed to improper behaviors to maintain control.

The issue of ecological ethics has often been discussed because it is important for the development of further generations. Nature and culture are not at the same level, yet culture is subordinate to nature. Because of human influence, the harmony of nature is endangered and we live in an ecological crisis. This master's thesis compares the opinions of experts in Czech environment who perceive the ecological ethics, collisions of nature and culture and environmental sphere from the point of philosophy. In the first part, there is a theoretical basis of ecological ethics and the elementary classification. Further, the development of ecological ethics in the Czech phylosophical thinking is presented. In the main part, the author always explores two selected ideas of Czech professionals - Erazim Kohák, Josef Šmajs, Hana Librová, Petr Jemelka and Jan Patočka. The conclusion of the thesis is that although all the authors come from various conceptions, their results are more or less corresponding. It is fundamental to accept a personal responsibility and not to long for power and profit. It is imporant to indicate and become aware of ecological crisis and start to solve it on our own at first (e. g. by voluntary modesty and awareness that we leave a legacy for further generations). We do not need to live...

In current industrial society, outdoor recreation participation is a popular leisure style for the public, including parks or green space nearby residence and some forest recreation in the mountain areas. This is the way people want to escape from urban concrete jungle to pursue for experiences of the great nature. Therefore, whether the development of commercial business district located in the forestry environment would be incompatible or not for those visitors who are pursuing for natural experiences has become a concerned issue. This study is to investigate the appropriateness of locating a commercial business district named Monster Village in a forest recreation area named Xitou forest recreation area by means of a questionnaire survey on visitors of both sites. The study results have shown as followings: (1) visitors were from different social economic backgrounds, the ages were normal distributed, and there were 3.4% of the respondents were trans-genders. (2) most respondents visited both sites to indicate that both sites are co-existing to fulfill visitors’ experiences of nature and foreign culture pursued. (3) the impacts of the Monsters’ Village commercial district on the Xitou forest recreation area were both positive and negative, including some harm on forest ecosystem, which would indicate that although the commercial district brings benefits to the Xitou forest recreation area, yet it also brings impacts on forest environment because there are significant differences in impact perceptions between visitors of the Xitou forest recreation area and those of the Monster Village commercial district. The forest management administration needs to concern the impacts of commercial district on the forests. According to the study results, some suggestions for the forest management administration as the followings: (1) continuously monitoring the impacts of the commercial district on the forest based on the established environment indicators and keeping the records for the decision making of forest conservation measurements; (2) it seems necessary to broaden the buffer zone between the forest recreation area and the commercial district to maintain the quality of forest recreation resources; (3) some environment education programs are needed for visitors who visit both sites to enhance their abilities to tell the differences in resource attributes, correspondent attitudes and behaviors between these two sites. Some suggestions for the commercial district managers are as followings: (1) the shops of the commercial district need to understand deeper about the history of the forest and find out currently prevalent elements for designing management models and programming as well; (2) well use of the green energy to merge environmental friendly approaches into the unique culture of the Xitou forest recreation area and the Monster Village to promote the coexistence and interaction to match most visitors pursuing both natural and artificial demands. For the future study, some issues were also presented as followings: (1) the design of questionnaire should be based on the original information of the study areas in order to avoid the inappropriate question items in terms of reliability and validity; (2) a commercial district may be simulated in a natural setting to investigate visitors’ identity and acceptability toward the district in the natural setting. The simulation case would provide information for the coexistence of both incompatible sites, such as the cases of the Monster Village and the Xitou forest recreation area.

This text is a part of my years long art work. Industrial architecture and mechanical parts, fascination to functions of mechanisms and the aesthetics of industry are for years my hobby. These phenomens became fundamental for my art work. In this work I introduce my creative basis. Their main themes are fundamental changings of human's development. Subsequently I have searched for similar contents used in the artistic world. Particulary I thought about the risks and dangers which the new technical age hides from our site. Technologie from a lot of points of view abbreviates our lives but on the other hand it is also a risk for people who do not esteem the values of our environment, nature and do not think much of their own ephemerality. The didactic part of my work I spent upon playfulness which is for all children natural. Mechanisms, constructions and technologies enable the creation of an abstract world and fantastic beings. The topic of "Industries" offers a rich scale of inspiring ideas for work with children. At the same time we save the concepts of how to combine the cultural and nature's world. It is necessary to educate all in the spirit of living, staying playfull and sensetive at the same time.
