L’asservissement visuel est un domaine mature dont le formalisme est bien établi. L’un de ses principaux objectifs est lecontrôle d’un robot à l’aide des informations visuelles provenant d’une caméra, qui est généralement montée sur l’effecteur du robot. Même si l’asservissement visuel a conduit à de nombreuses applications réussies, son analyse de stabilité reste une question théorique ouverte, en particulier pour l’asservissement visuel basé image. Dans cette thèse, nous avons exploré en profondeur les propriétés de stabilité de ces systèmes, à la fois en développant de nouveaux outils théoriquesqui nous permettent d’étudier la stabilité des systèmes à énergie décroissante et en définissant une stratégie qui rend le calcul de l’ensemble complet des équilibres résolvable dans le contexte de l’asservissement visuel. Grâce à notre nouvelle méthodologie, qui s’inspire des théories de Lyapunov et de Morse, nous avons pu caractériser rigoureusement l’interconnexion entre les équilibres de ces systèmes et proposer les régions d’attraction indépendante des contrôleurs des équilibres stables, ce qui a permis d’éclairer d’un jour nouveau le comportement de ces systèmes. De plus, les outils que nous avons développés nous ont permis de synthétiser un nouveau paradigme de contrôle, que nous appelons meta-contrôleur, qui fournit une amélioration substantielle de la taille de la région, d’attraction de la pose souhaitée, mettant enévidence l’importance de la compréhension de la stabilité de ces systèmes, et l’importance des points selles pour son analyse
Visual servoing is a mature area whose formalism is well established. One of its main aims is the control of a robot using the visual information coming from a camera, which is typically mounted as the end effector of the robot. Even if visual servoing has lead to many successful applications, its stability analysis is still an open theoretical issue, in particular for image-based visual servoing. In this thesis, we deeply explored the stability properties of these systems, both by developing new theoreticaltools that allow us to study the stability of energy-decreasing systems and by creating a strategy that makes the computation of the full set of equilibria tractable in the context of visual servoing. Thanks to our new methodology, which is inspired by Lyapunov and Morse theories, we were able to rigorously characterize the interconnection between the equilibria of these systems and to propose the controller-independent regions of attraction of the stable ones, shining a new light on the behaviorof these systems. Moreover, the tools that we developed allowed us to synthesize a new control paradigm, that we call metacontroller, which provides a substantial improvement in size for the desired pose’s region of attraction, showcasing the importance of understanding the stability of these systems and the importance of saddles in their analysis

This thesis attempts to contribute to the study of differentiable dynamics both from a semi-local and global point of view. The center of study is dynamics in manifolds of dimension 3 where we are interested in the understanding of the existence and structure of attractors as well as dynamical and topological implications of the existence of a global partially hyperbolic splitting. The main contributions are new examples of dynamics without attractors where we get a quite complete description of the dynamics around some wild homoclinic classes (see Section 2. 2 and subsection 3. 3. 2) and two results on dynamical coherence of partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms of T3 (see Chapter 5)
Esta tesis pretende contribuir al estudio de la dinámica diferenciable tanto desde sus aspectos semilocales como globales. El centro de estudio es en dinámicas en variedades de dimensión 3 donde buscamos comprender por un lado la existencia y estructura de los atractores asi como propiedades topológicas y dinámicas implicadas por la existencia de una descomposición parcialmente hiperbólica global. Las contribuciones principales son la construcción de nuevos ejemplos de dinámicas sin atractores donde se da una descripción bastante completa de la dinámica alrededor de una clase homoclínica salvaje (ver Sección 2. 2 y la subsección 3. 3. 2) y dos resultados sobre la coherencia dinámica de difeomorfismos parcialmente hiperbólicos en T3 (ver Capítulo 5)

In the first part of the thesis we present several interior point algorithms for solving certain positive definite programming problems. One of the algorithms is adapted for finding out whether there exists or not a positive definite matrix which is a real linear combination of some given symmetric matrices A1,A2, . . . ,Am. In the second part of the thesis we discuss stability of nonlinear dynamical systems. We search using algorithms described in the first part, for Lyapunov functions of a few forms. A suitable Lyapunov function implies the existence of a hyperellipsoidal attraction region for the dynamical system, thus guaranteeing stability.

The driving force of the tourism industry is represented by the attractions at destination. Travelers have no reason to visit destinations that have nothing to offer. Tourism research has demonstrated that attraction studies are necessary in the understanding of the elements that encourage people to travel. Achieving the goal of measuring destination attractiveness requires the understanding of its components and their relationships. There are two ways of examining attractiveness: by studying the attractions or by exploring the attractiveness perceptions of those who are attracted by them. As competition among tourism destinations increases and tourist funding decreases, it is of vital importance to understand how the inventory of existing attractions at destination relates to the perceptions that travelers have of those attractions. Tourism literature provides only a limited number of studies addressing destination attractiveness. Those studies focus exclusively on the measurement aspect of attractiveness and ignore the analysis of its components. The purpose of this study was to generate a new measurement tool for destination attractiveness and to examine the relationship between its elements. The principles of regional analysis, tourism planning, and tourism attraction research provided the foundation for a measurement and hypothesis testing model. This model is based on the assumption that tourism is a system, which is a function of supply and demand interaction. Four attraction dimensions - tourism services and facilities, cultural/historical, rural lodging, and outdoor recreation - were found to represent the attractiveness portfolio of the destination. According to the findings, no correlations were found between demand and supply importance of the four dimensions. Among demand representatives, market segments perceive and value attractions in different ways. The study explored the attractiveness evaluation of eight tourist regions and discovered correlations between demand and supply indicators. Additionally, it was established that the overall regional measures of demand and supply destination attractiveness explain the economic benefits of tourism in the same region. Among the contributions of this study is the development of a model that allows the simultaneous empirical assessment of demand and supply indicators of destination attractiveness. The findings of this study provided important implications for the development of robust tourism plans, promotional strategies, and resource allocation policies.

Aim: The research project discusses foreign direct investment as well as the attractiveness of the region of Gävleborg within this context. The researchers attempt to investigate why foreign direct investment is not yet common within the aforementioned region. Moreover, the aims of the master thesis are evaluating the region of Gävleborg and current strategies of enticing foreign investments, as well as detecting roadblocks that hinder the establishment. Lastly, generating an outline of how to improve foreign investment attraction ought to be investigated. Results & Conclusion: Gävleborg has a good infrastructure and accessibility, and is characterised by lower labour and living costs compared to other Swedish regions. Nonetheless, the number of inward investment is quite low. Main reasons for that are the lower level of education, high labour costs for low skilled jobs, missing financial incentives and a non-continuous work to attract inward investment. Therefore, the region may work on its attractiveness by increasing its awareness through attending trade fairs, and by collaborating with established companies and their partners.

The investment needs of the water and sanitation sector and the financing constraints facing many developing countries were important catalysts for the promotion of private investment during the 1990s. Towards the end of the decade however, the flow of private capital began to decline primarily due to the poor performance of some investments and difficulties encountered during these transactions. Regardless, private investment is still considered an important financial resource for the sector which has resulted in considerable attention in addressing governance, economic and socio-political factors which can discourage investment. The aim of the research is to develop a strategic framework for attracting private investment to the Caribbean water and sanitation sector. Using a multiple-case study approach, the research examines the phenomenon of private investment in the water and sanitation sectors in Jamaica, Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago by assessing the environment for private investment and determining the specific drivers and deterrents to this type of investment. The implications of small size in the Caribbean context for institutional requirements to support private investment in the sector are also examined. Primary data for the research are obtained from public officials involved in the management, operation and regulation of the sector, local and international private service providers and local financial institutions through interviews and survey questionnaires. Documents are used to contextualise, corroborate and augment the research. The research found that in addition to traditional strategic and financial criteria in terms of provisions of the operating environment and investment performance, behaviour-related factors such as interest in job security, recognition and comfort were also important to the investment decision in the sector. Investors' perceptions of the utility were also found to be a statistically significant determinant of investment. Besides emphasising the importance of creating a conducive environment for investment, the research highlighted a need to simultaneously focus on generating specific investment opportunities to build investor confidence. The most important consequence of small size to negatively impact on creating conducive conditions for investment was the effect of limited professional capacity on institutional arrangements in the sector. Accordingly, sharing professional expertise to address capacity constraints emerged as the most feasible opportunity for regional cooperation to improve the environment for private investment in the sector.

The Local Group's peculiar motion with respect to the cosmic microwave background has been measured with high precision and found to be ~627±22 km s-1, but the source of this motion is not clear. Studies to constrain the fractional contribution of the local mass overdensity, particularly in the Great Attractor region and the more distant Shapley Supercluster, remain contradictory. This work is an attempt to disentangle these contributions by measuring a redshift-independent distance to the Norma cluster, which lies at, or close to, the core of the Great Attractor, in order to determine its peculiar velocity. A reliable measurement of the distance and peculiar velocity of Norma will help clarify the velocity flows in the Great Attractor region. The challenge is with observing in the Zone of Avoidance since star crowding and Galactic extinction effects are severe at such low Galactic latitudes. High quality near-infrared images have been used in the photometric analysis for the Norma cluster sample so as to minimise the effect of Galactic extinction. In addition, the imaging cameras used have a small pixel scale resulting in well resolved images for reliable foreground star-subtraction hence accurate photometry. In order to determine the redshift-independent distance, I applied two independent, complemen- tary methods: the Fundamental Plane and the Tully-Fisher relations. The redshift-independent distance and the peculiar velocity of the Norma cluster were measured using 1) the Ks-band Fundamental Plane analysis for 31 galaxies using the 3.6m New Technology Telescope (NTT) at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) 2) the J- and Ks-band Fundamental Plane analysis for 31 galaxies using the Japanese 1.4 m InfraRed Survey Facility (IRSF) at the South African Astronomical Observatory (SAAO) 3) the combined NTT and IRSF Ks-band Fundamental Plane analysis for 41 galaxies 4) the Ks-band Tully-Fisher analysis for 12 galaxies using near-infrared images from the IRSF and HI profiles obtained from the 64-m Parkes radio telescope.

This chapter draws attention to a specific feature of a NEG model that uses linear (and not iso-elastic) demand functions, namely its ability to account for zero trade. Thus, it represents a suitable framework to study how changes in parameters that are typical for NEG models, such as trade costs and regional market size, not only shape the regional distribution of economic activity, but at the same time determine the emergence of additional trade links between formerly autarkic regions. We survey some related papers and present a three-region framework that potentially nests many possible trade patterns. To focus the analysis, we study in more detail three specific trade patterns frequently found in the EU trade network. We start with three autarkic regions; then we introduce the possibility that two regions trade with each other; and, finally, we allow for one region trading with the other two, but the latter are still not trading with each other. We find a surprising plethora of long-run equilibria each involving a specific regional distribution of economic activity and a specific pattern of trade links. We show how a reduction in trade costs shapes simultaneously industry location and the configuration of the trade network.

A partir de meados do século XX, os avanços científicos e tecnológicos desencadearam uma onda de transformações que vem atingindo as sociedades em seus aspectos: cultural, social, político, comportamental e econômico. Neste contexto, empresas intensivas em conhecimento ou de base tecnológica, como as do setor de software, vêm ganhando espaço no cenário econômico e galgando importantes posições nos mercados. Há um resgate da dimensão local na atividade produtiva e a discussão sobre temas como desenvolvimento regional sustentável, Arranjos Produtivos Locais - APLs e PLOLHX de inovação tem sido cada vez mais constante. O presente trabalho buscou analisar, sob o ponto de vista dos atores locais, os fatores de atração e fixação de empresas de software na região do município de Juiz de Fora, Zona da Mata de Minas Gerais. Para tanto, foram levantados alguns dados e realizadas entrevistas com diferentes atores, cuja análise permitiu entender melhor as possibilidades e dificuldades da região em relação ao processo de atração e manutenção das empresas deste setor e sugerir caminhos, que possam levar a forma mais adequada para realização dos dois processos supracitados. Este estudo pretende fornecer subsídios para futuras políticas de atração de investimentos para a região e para a busca de alternativas de desenvolvimento regional sustentado.
From the late 20th century on all the scientific and technological advances occurred have brought a wave of changing`s on several aspects of our society such as cultural, political, behaviorism and economical which have made intensive knowledge enterprises or those based in technologies like software production ones to win more space in the economic scenario and reach important positions in the markets. There has been a rescue of the local dimension in the productive activities and the discussions around subjects as sustainable developing in particular regions, Local Productive Arrangements - APL, new ways of innovation, among others, have been getting more importance each day. This work has the intention of analyzing the factors of attraction and establishment of software enterprises in the Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais surroundings, under the local actors` point of view. Therefore some data were obtained from interviews with different actors and their analysis is going to make it better to understand both the possibilities and difficulties in the processes of attracting and maintaining these kind of enterprises in the considered region and it`s going to suggest actions to bring the most suitable ways to make sure the two of the processes already mentioned happen. This study is also going to present sources for future investment policies to the region and alternatives for sustainable developing.

This research reviewed retention factors affecting the West Australian public sector (WAPS) in regional areas seeking to determine whether a leadership development program (LDP) could provide a strategic HRM solution. Using a mixed methods approach views of 9 leaders and 156 regional WAPS employees provided insights on retention issues and how a LDP might be designed and delivered to regional employees. Despite the attraction and retention factors impacting the WAPS, it was found that a LDP designed specifically for the regions can assist to attract talented staff and to a lesser extent improve retention in the regions.

This thesis is concerned with drawing out high-level insight from otherwise complex mathematical models of physical processes. This is achieved through detailed analysis of model behaviour as constituent parameters are varied. A particular focus is the well-posedness of parameter estimation from noisy data, and its relationship to the parametric sensitivity properties of the model. Other topics investigated include the verification of model performance properties over large ranges of parameters, and the simplification of models based upon their response to parameter perturbation. Several methodologies are proposed, which account for various model classes. However, shared features of the models considered include nonlinearity, parameters with considerable scope for variability, and experimental data corrupted by significant measurement uncertainty. We begin by considering models described by systems of nonlinear ordinary differen- tial equations with parameter dependence. Model output, in this case, can only be obtained by numerical integration of the relevant equations. Therefore, assessment of model behaviour over tracts of parameter space is usually carried out by repeated model simulation over a grid of parameter values. We instead reformulate this as- sessment as an algebraic problem, using polynomial programming techniques. The result is an algorithm that produces parameter-dependent algebraic functions that are guaranteed to bound user-defined aspects of model behaviour over parameter space. We then consider more general classes of parameter-dependent model. A theoretical framework is constructed through which we can explore the duality between model sensitivity to non-local parameter perturbations, and the well-posedness of parameter estimation from significantly noisy data. This results in an algorithm that can uncover functional relations on parameter space over which model output is insensitive and parameters cannot be estimated. The methodology used derives from techniques of nonlinear optimal control. We use this algorithm to simplify benchmark models from the systems biology literature. Specifically, we uncover features such as fast-timescale subsystems and redundant model interactions, together with the sets of parameter values over which the features are valid. We finally consider parameter estimation in models that are acknowledged to im- perfectly describe the modelled process. We show that this invalidates standard statistical theory associated with uncertainty quantification of parameter estimates. Alternative theory that accounts for this situation is then developed, resulting in a computationally tractable approximation of the covariance of a parameter estimate with respect to noise-induced fluctuation of experimental data.

A presente dissertação pretende compreender os efeitos dos grandes incêndios rurais de junho e outubro de 2017 no turismo da Região Centro de Portugal. A concretização deste objetivo exigiu uma revisão bibliográfica acerca dos efeitos dos incêndios florestais/rurais na procura turística, o que levou a admitir que a influência destes eventos na procura de determinado destino turístico depende do tipo de atração dominante desse local. Deste modo, e tomando como unidade de análise os concelhos da Região Centro, definiram-se os tipos de atrações turísticas dominantes em cada concelho, permitindo agrupá-los em quatro grupos. Procedeu-se ainda à separação entre concelhos mais afetados e menos afetados pelos incêndios, com base na extensão de área ardida entre 2002 e 2019 (com destaque para a de 2017). A oferta e procura turísticas foram caraterizadas pela evolução do número de estabelecimentos e de dormidas de nacionais e de estrangeiros. A análise demonstrou que o grupo de concelhos “Património Natural e/ou Espaços Fluviais” foi o mais afetado pelos incêndios de 2017 e que a procura nestes concelhos verificou um menor crescimento. O mercado externo foi o que verificou maior alteração no número de dormidas, indicando uma maior sensibilidade por parte da procura de turistas estrangeiros; Wildfires and Tourism and Leisure Activities: comparing impacts and drivers across territorial units Abstract: The aim of the present dissertation is to understand the effects of june and october of 2017’s wildfires on tourism in the Center Region of Portugal. To achieve this purpose a literature review about the wildfires’ effects on tourism demand was required, which led to admitting that the influence of these events on the demand for a particular tourism destination depends on the dominant attraction of that place. Therefore, and taking the Center Region’s municipalities as unit of analysis, the dominant types of tourism attractions in each municipality were defined, allowing the municipalities to be clustered into four groups. The most affected and least affected municipalities by the wildfires were segregated, based on the extent of the burned area between 2002 and 2019 (focusing on 2017). The tourism supply and demand were characterized by the evolution of the number of establishments and national and foreign overnight stays. The analysis revealed that the group “Natural Patrimony and/or Fluvial Spaces” was the most affected by the 2017 wildfires and the tourism demand in these municipalities showed less growth. The foreign market verified the greatest change in the overnight stays’ number, indicating a greater response from the demand of foreign tourists.

Os fundamentos teóricos desenvolvidos neste trabalho e que dão suporte aos métodos propostos garantem que as estimativas obtidas sejam sempre conservadoras (no sentido de que elas são sempre subconjuntos da região de estabilidade verdadeira) e, portanto, possuam elevado grau de confiança ao concluir sobre a estabilidade do sistema. Os métodos apresentados consistem em extensões dos métodos Closest UEP e CUEP, utilizados na análise de estabilidade transitória de sistemas elétricos de potência, para sistemas que admitem FEG. Embora os métodos Closest UEP e CUEP forneçam estimativas de forma rápida e precisa, sua aplicação está limitada à existência de uma Função Energia (FE) para o sistema, o que consiste em uma forte limitação. Muitos sistemas não admitem FE e, mesmo quando se pode provar a existência de uma FE, a impossibilidade de exibi-la impede a aplicação dos métodos citados. Outra contribuição deste trabalho consiste em um método computacional que permite a obtenção de uma FEG para sistemas polinomiais. O método apresentado também é aplicado a uma classe de problemas não polinomiais, provenientes da modelagem de sistemas elétricos de potência, mediante uma mudança não linear de variáveis que permite a construção de um sistema polinomial equivalente. Através dos métodos apresentados, visa-se disponibilizar métodos computacionais que permitam a obtenção de estimativas rápidas e precisas e que possam ser aplicados a uma ampla classe de sistemas: aqueles que admitem FEG. Com isso, almeja-se não somente contribuir para o desenvolvimento de métodos para análise de estabilidade de sistemas elétricos de potência mas, também, disponibilizá-los a outras áreas do conhecimento.
In this work, we develop computational methods to estimate stability regions and the relevant part of stability boundary of attracting sets of nonlinear dynamical systems. Such methods are based on Generalized Energy Function (GEF) theory and, therefore, can be applied to a larger class of problems than those based on Energy Functions (EF). The theoretical foundations developed in this work, which support the proposed methods, ensure that the estimates are always conservative (in the sense that they are subsets of the true stability region), providing high confidence level when asserting the stability of a system. The presented methods are extensions of the Closest UEP and the CUEP methods, used in the assessment of stability of electrical power systems, to the systems that admit GEF. Even though the Closest UEP and CUEP methods provide estimates in a fast and accurate way, they are only applicable to systems that admit EFs, which consists in a strong limitation for their usage. Many systems do not admit EF and, even if it is possible to prove the existence of an EF, the impossibility to exhibit it in the form of elementary mathematical functions prevents the application of such methods. Other contribution of this work is a computational method to obtain a GEF for polinomial systems. We also applied the presented method to a class of non polinomial systems arising from electrical power system models, after a nonlinear change of variables that provides an equivalent polinomial system. By means of the proposed methods, we aim to offer computational methods to allow fast and accurate stability region estimates which could be used in a broad class of dynamical systems: those that admit GEF. This way, we plan to contribute for the development of methods used in the assessment of stability of electrical power systems and make such tools available to systems from other areas of science.

This study aims to verify the use of tax incentives, credit and infrastructure, the tools for attracting industrial investment in the state of Goiás from 1985 to 2007. Two tax programs were regulated during the study period: the FOMENTAR (1985 -1999), the government of IRIS RESENDE (PMDB), whose industrial bias was continued with the PRODUZIR (2000-2007), managing of Marconi Perillo (PSDB). To this end, it raises the incentive instruments mobilized for investment attraction, as well as documents and socioeconomic statistics from the process of industrialization in Goiás. This information was collected from various sources, the IPEA, the State Department of Planning, in the Department of Trade and Industry and the Institute Mauro Borges. This information supported the contextualization and theoretical discussion of research and subsequently the analysis and interpretation of the model of industrial policy that is being implemented in Goiás. It appears that, during the study period, more than 800 industrial enterprises were engaged, moving an amount of tax benefit of R$ 773.6 billion by FOMENTAR (1985 -1999) and R$ 106.8 billion by PRODUZIR (2000-2007). Note that the relative incentive / employment costs, on average, R$ 240.43, reaching up to 280.34 thousand. On the number of jobs created and their evolution, as well as the residence of workers in firms, were not found consistent data for analysis. The Attraction Program Industrial Investments was seamlessly implemented by managers later, getting both positive and negative, with the possibility of adjustment. On the one hand, we note that there was significant economic growth; on the other, it is problem identified that did not distribute income and was not able to internalize the industry. It is noteworthy that this policy of incentives in the period exactly occurs when the country goes through a process of stagnation, because of purported "War Tax . The study points to the industrialization model inspired by the theory of growth poles (PERROUX) conveniently located in the historical and strategic state, driving the development of these central places today "Regional Polos" in Goiás. Such are polarized in the Catalão (Southeast), Rio Verde (Southwest), Itumbiara (South Central), Luziânia (around of Brasília), Anápolis (micro region of Mato Grosso - near Goiás) and Goiânia (Goiânia metropolitan region). In fact, the major economic center of Goiás remains Goiânia.
O presente estudo propõe verificar a utilização de incentivos fiscais, creditícios e infraestruturais, como instrumentos de atração de investimento industrial no estado de Goiás de 1985 a 2007. Dois programas fiscais foram regulamentados no período da pesquisa: o FOMENTAR (1985 a 1999), no governo de IRIS RESENDE (PMDB), cujo viés industrial teve continuidade com o PRODUZIR (2000 a 2007), na gestão de Marconi Perillo (PSDB). Para tal fim, levantam-se os instrumentos de incentivos mobilizados para a atração de investimentos, bem como documentos e dados estatísticos socioeconômicos decorrentes do processo de industrialização em Goiás. Essas informações foram coletadas, entre várias outras fontes, no IPEA, na Secretaria Estadual de Planejamento, na Secretaria de Indústria e Comércio e no Instituto Mauro Borges. Tais informações subsidiaram a contextualização e a discussão teórica da pesquisa e, posteriormente, a análise e a interpretação do modelo de política industrial que está sendo implementado no território goiano. Verifica-se que, no período estudado, mais de 800 empreendimentos industriais foram contratados, movimentando um montante de incentivo fiscal de R$773.6 bilhões pelo FOMENTAR (1985-1999) e de R$ 106,8 bilhões pelo PRODUZIR (2000 a 2007). Nota-se que a relação incentivo / emprego custa, em média, R$240.43 mil reais, podendo chegar até a 280.34 mil. Sobre o número de empregos gerados e sua evolução, assim como a permanência dos trabalhadores nas firmas, não foram encontrados dados consistentes para análise. O Programa de Atração de Investimentos Industriais foi implementado sem descontinuidade pelos gestores posteriores, obtendo tanto resultados positivos quanto negativos, com possibilidades de adequação. Por um lado, nota-se que houve um crescimento econômico significativo; por outro, identifica-se que não distribuiu renda e não foi capaz de interiorizar a indústria. Vale ressaltar que esta política de incentivos ocorre exatamente no período em que o país passa por um processo de estagnação, razão da propalada Guerra Fiscal . O estudo aponta para o modelo de industrialização inspirado na teoria dos polos de crescimento (PERROUX), com localização em pontos históricos e estratégicos do Estado, impulsionando o desenvolvimento destes lugares centrais, hoje Polos Regionais em Goiás. Estes se acham polarizados nos municípios de Catalão (Sudeste), Rio Verde (Sudoeste), Itumbiara (Centro-Sul), Luziânia (entorno de Brasília), Anápolis (Microrregião Mato Grosso Goiano) e Goiânia (Região Metropolitana de Goiânia). Na verdade, o grande polo econômico de Goiás continua sendo Goiânia.

In this dissertation we study concepts and results about dynamical systems with emphasis at Butler-McGehee Lemma. The purpose of this work is to introduce and to prove three versions of Butler-McGehee Lemma, as well as, two applications of this lemma. Such applications deal with the behavior of solutions to the systems of Ordinary Differential Equations that describe populations of species that interact in the same environment. The adopted conditions show that in the system with two species, one specie is going to extinguish and another is going to survive with constant population. In the system with three species there is coexistence among the species. The Butler-McGehee Lemma has been found to be an efficient tool that helps to acquire information about the regions of attraction and repulsion of certain sets.
Nesta dissertação estudam-se conceitos e resultados de sistemas dinâmicos com ênfase no Lema de Butler-McGehee. O objetivo é apresentar e demonstrar três versões do Lema de Butler-McGehee, bem como, duas aplicações deste lema. Tais aplicações tratam da análise global do comportamento de soluções de sitemas de equações diferenciais ordinárias que representam as populações de espécies que interagem num mesmo ambiente. Com as condições adotadas, para o sistema com duas espécies mostra-se que uma das espécies é extinta e a outra tende a se manter constante. Já no sistema com três espécies mostra-se que há a coexistência entre as três espécies. Conclui-se que o Lema de Butler-McGehee é uma ferrramenta eficiente que auxilia na obtenção de informações a cerca das regiões de atração e repulsão de determinados conjuntos.

The diploma thesis Analysis of destination management in the Ostrava region is about relations between the Ostrava tourist region and tourism itself. Formerly-by-tourism-untouched region has experienced development of the tourism industry and this fact has lead to a need of an effective tourist destination management approach. The destination marketing and management is not done by one superior institution but it is performed by many subjects. The most important ones are the Ostrava city and the Moravian-Silesian Region. The thesis analyzes their planned and realized projects and destination products. The end is dedicated to a suggestion of a new destination product - the Ostrava tourist card.

Estimar a região de estabilidade de um ponto de equilíbrio assintoticamente estável é importante em aplicações tais como sistemas de potência, economia e ecologia. A compreensão da estrutura qualitativa da fronteira da região de estabilidade é fundamental para estimar com eficiência a região de estabilidade. Caracterizações topológicas e dinâmicas da fronteira da região de estabilidade foram desenvolvidas ao longo das últimas décadas. Estas caracterizações foram desenvolvidas sob hipóteses de hiperbolicidade dos pontos de equilíbrio na fronteira e transversalidade. Para sistemas que dependem de parâmetros, a condição de hiperbolicidade pode ser violada em pontos de bifurcações. Estaremos interessados em estimar a região de estabilidade, para sistemas sujeitos a variações de parâmetros, onde ocorre a violação da condição de hiperbolicidade dos pontos de equilíbrio na fronteira da região de estabilidade devido ao aparecimento de uma bifurcação sela-nó do tipo zero nesta fronteira. Apresentaremos neste trabalho uma caracterização completa da fronteira da região de estabilidade na presença de um ponto de equilíbrio não hiperbólico sela-nó do tipo zero. Motivados também em oferecer um algoritmo conceitual para obter estimativas da região de estabilidade perturbada via conjunto de nível de uma dada função energia na vizinhança de um parâmetro de bifurcação sela-nó do tipo zero, buscaremos exibir resultados que permitam compreender o comportamento da região de estabilidade e de sua fronteira sob a influência das variações do parâmetro, incluindo variações do parâmetro próximo a um parâmetro de bifurcação sela-nó do tipo zero.
Estimating the stability region of an asymptotically stable equilibrium point is fundamental in applications such as power systems, economy and ecology. The knowledge of the qualitative structure of the stability boundary is essential to estimate with efficiency the stability region. Topological and dynamical characterizations of the stability boundary have been developed over the past decades. These characterizations were developed under assumptions of hyperbolicity of equilibrium points on the stability boundary and transversality. For systems that depend on parameters, the condition of hyperbolicity can be violated at points of bifurcations. We will be primarily interested in estimating the stability region, for systems subjected to parameter variations, when the condition of hyperbolicity of equilibrium points on the stability boundary is violated due to the appearance of a type-zero saddle-node bifurcation on the stability boundary. We will develop in this work, a complete characterization of the stability boundary in the presence of a type-zero saddle-node non-hyperbolic equilibrium point. Also, motivated to providing a conceptual algorithm to obtain estimates of the perturbed stability region via level sets of a given energy function in the neighborhood of a type-zero saddle-node bifurcation parameter, we offer results that explain the behavior of the stability region and its boundary under the influence of parameter variations, including variations of the parameter close to a type-zero saddle-node bifurcation parameter.

Pontos de equilíbrio assintoticamente estáveis de sistemas dinâmicos não lineares geralmente não são globalmente estáveis. Na maioria dos casos, há um subconjunto de condições iniciais, chamada região de estabilidade (ou área de atração), cujas trajetórias tendem ao ponto de equilíbrio quando o tempo tende ao infinito. Devido à importância das regiões de estabilidade em aplicações, e motivado principalmente pelo problema de analise de estabilidade transitória em sistemas elétricos de potência, uma caracterização completa da fronteira da região de estabilidade foi desenvolvida. Esta caracterização foi desenvolvida sob a suposição de que o sistema dinâmico é bem conhecido e que os parâmetros de seu modelo são constantes. Na prática, variações de parâmetros ocorrem e bifurcações desta podem ocorrer. Nesta tese, desenvolveremos uma caracterização completa da fronteira da região de estabilidade de sistemas dinâmicos autônomos não lineares admitindo a existência de pontos de equilíbrio não hiperbólicos do tipo Hopf na fronteira da região de estabilidade. Sob certas condições de transversalidade, apresentaremos uma caracterização completa da fronteira da região de estabilidade admitindo tanto a presença de pontos de equilíbrio não hiperbólicos do tipo Hopf como também a existência de órbitas periódicas na fronteira. Ofereceremos também uma caracterização da fronteira da região de estabilidade fraca do ponto de equilíbrio não hiperbólico Hopf supercrítico do tipo zero e uma caracterização topológica da sua região de atração. Além disso, exibiremos resultados relativos ao comportamento da região de estabilidade de um ponto de equilíbrio assintoticamente estável e da sua fronteira na vizinhança do valor crítico de bifurcação do tipo Hopf.
Asymptotically stable equilibrium points of nonlinear dynamical systems are generally not globally stable. In most cases, there is a subset of initial conditions, called stability region (or attraction area), in which trajectories tend to the equilibrium point when time approaches innity. Due to the importance of stability regions in applications, and mainly motivated by the problem of transient stability analysis in electric power systems, a complete characterization of the boundary of the stability region was developed. This characterization was developed under the assumption that the dynamic system is well known and the parameters of its model are constant. In practice, parameter variations happen and bifurcations may occur. In this thesis, we will develop a complete characterization of the boundary of the stability region of autonomous nonlinear dynamical systems admitting the existence of non-hyperbolic equilibrium points of the type Hopf on the boundary of the stability region. Under certain transversality conditions, we present a complete characterization of the boundary of the stability region admitting the presence of both non-hyperbolic equilibrium points of the type Hopf and periodic orbits on the boundary. Also a complete characterization of the boundary of the region of weak stability of a supercritical Hopf non-hyperbolic equilibrium point of the type zero and a topological characterization of its region of attraction is developed. Furthermore, the behavior of the stability region of an asymptotically stable equilibrium point and its boundary in the neighborhood of a critical value of bifurcation of the type Hopf is studied.

Thesis concentrates on theory and practical issues regarding hospital bed fund. In its theoretical part, the thesis describes reasons that lead to optimalization of hospital bed fund and methods used for calculation of suitable amount of hospital beds. In its practical part it focuses on a concept proposal of a hospital bed fund optimalization in the Vysočina region while calculating a minimal amount of hospital beds needed using deterministic methods arising from empiric formulas. This concept is then compared to already existing concept created by General Healthcare Insurance Company of the Czech Republic (in Czech: Vseobecna Zdravotni Pojistovna).

In the present analysis a nonlinear model is discussed in order to capture the presence of several forces acting in commodity markets and the difficulty to disentangle their relative price impacts. Global commodity markets have experienced significant price swings in recent years. Analysts offer two explanations: market forces and speculative expectations, not mutually exclusive. Commodity prices seem to indicate that various factors are acting in a very complex way. We start from one specific feature: price clustering phenomenon, which is the tendency to concentrate in a number of attraction regions, preferring some values over others. Commodities are in the process of becoming mainstream. The mean-reverting class of diffusion models are not able to model the phenomenon of multiple attraction regions. In the potential function approach the price is modelled as a diffusion process governed by a potential function. A fundamental step is to fit the multimodal density of the invariant distribution. We postulate a parametric form of the distribution in the framework of finite mixture models and Expectation-Maximization algorithm. The procedure for identifying and estimating potential function and diffusion parameter is provided. Applications to crude oil and soybean prices capture the essential characteristics of the data remarkably well. An underlying assumption is that potential function and long-term volatility do not change with time. New market conditions and new attraction regions can form, changing the shape of the potential and the magnitude of long-term volatility. We investigate changes in shape of the potential, which reflects new price equilibrium levels (attraction regions) and hence new market conditions. The model allows to generate copies of the observed price series with the same invariant distribution, useful for applications requiring a large number of independent price trajectories. A goodness-of-fit test for the SDE model is provided. A numerical implementation of the analysis is provided.

Recent analyses of creativity in the North American economy have underscored the importance of city-regions in the generation of economic dynamism. These studies have been concerned with at least two principal assertions. The first assertion is that the social dynamics of city-regions constitute the foundations of economic success. The second assertion is that the distribution of human capital (talent) is a crucial element in regional economic prosperity; yet the distribution of human capital across cities is uneven. Therefore, the question emerges: what factors influence the locational choices of talented individuals? In recent years, this question has received considerable scholarly attention. This thesis has identified two existing gaps within this field of inquiry. Conspicuously absent from studies in this area are theoretical insights offered by cultural geographers in the field of whiteness and race. Economic geographers have created an essentialized reading of racial diversity in the economic performance of city-regions. Moreover, work in this area has been constrained by a quantitative focus and a lack of empirical evidence. Accordingly, the purpose of this thesis is to develop a more nuanced understanding of how social processes and institutions underlie and are shaped by the economic performance of city-regions. This is achieved by drawing on insights from an empirical study of 44 semi-structured interviews with academic talent in the City of Kingston, Ontario and 12 interviews with community insiders. The results on the one hand reveal complex dynamics linked to why academics live in particular places, but on the other hand point to one overriding explanation for why academics locate where they do: namely, academics are attracted to Kingston, first and foremost, because of academic jobs, not urban amenities or other characteristics of place.

Each spectacularly publicized terrorist event strengthens our fascination with death and destruction. Barricaded behind architectures of control, our anxieties and fears escalate. Rather than diminishing our dread, we watch with morbid pleasure as distant events unfold right before us. The terrorist eagerly performs for an attentive audience. For the tourist no longer satisfied with the mediated experience of terrorism, this thesis offers an alternative architectural response. It is the year 2010 and terrorism has popularized the city of Karachi in the international imaginary. Seized amidst the battle between progress and regression---barricaded and torn apart by terror---Karachi becomes the site for a new architectural typology of concentrated targets of terrorism. Understanding the relationship between the tourist and the terrorist as one of supply and demand, Fatal Attractions aims to balance the oscillating equilibrium that ultimately absorbs the fatality of terrorism, replacing the traditional relationship of oppression with one of liberation.

The main objective of this project is to develop a marketing strategy to position tourism in the West region of Portugal as a Foreign Direct Investment sector. In this project and to achieve the desired goal, it was developed a conceptual framework based mainly on the Strategic Market Planning of Places of Kotler et al. (1993) and having inputs from Kotler et al. (2004). In this context, it was developed an interview guide for public and private sector marketing actors, which allowed to collect inputs concerning the different elements of the chosen model and to formulate the strategy. The interview was applied to four stakeholders from public entities, and four stakeholders which represented private entities, in different municipalities of the region. It was possible to evaluate the different perspectives between different actors. The collected inputs allowed also to develop a vision and set strategic objectives and formulate strategic lines of action for the region. A differentiation factor was identified: The Sea and the surrounding economy. This was identified as the central topic to promote the region between the target markets to attract. It was possible to conclude that there are a lot of opportunities for investment in the region, and the promotion of it in the external markets, should focus on the Sea, as the value edge of the region against its competitors.
O principal objetivo deste projeto prende-se com o desenvolvimento de uma estratégia de marketing para posicionar o turismo na região Oeste de Portugal como um sector de Investimento Direto Estrangeiro. Para atingir o objetivo pretendido, foi desenvolvido um quadro conceptual baseado essencialmente no modelo de Strategic Market Planning of Places de Kotler et al. (1993), mas também com contributos da obra de Kotler et al. (2004). Neste contexto, foram desenvolvidos dois guiões de entrevista para aplicar a atores de marketing do setor público e do setor privado. A aplicação destes guiões permitiu recolher contributos, em relação aos diferentes elementos do modelo escolhido e utilizado e assim formular a estratégia. Os guiões de entrevista foram aplicados a quatro representantes de entidades públicas e quatro de entidades privadas, nos diferentes municípios da região. Foi possível avaliar e analisar as diferentes perspetivas entre os diferentes atores de marketing, do setor público e privado. Os contributos recolhidos permitiram também desenvolver a visão, estabelecer um conjunto de objetivos estratégicos e formular linhas estratégicas de atuação para a região. Um fator de diferenciação foi também identificado: o Mar, e a economia envolvente. Este foi identificado como o tópico central para promover a região entre os grupos-alvo a atrair. Foi possível concluir que existem várias oportunidades de investimento na região e a promoção das mesmas para os mercados externos, deve focarse no Mar, enquanto vantagem competitiva em relação à concorrência.

For more than a century, public transportation has played a significant role in society. Transit agencies, like other service industries, are intent on improving their quality of service so as to increase transit ridership and attract passengers from other modes. In recent years transportation technologies have been improved which increase safety, mobility for people and goods, and reduce Green House Gas (GHG) emissions. An evaluation of the impacts of these operational and technological advancements is required for transit agencies to capture the potential benefits for their systems. The Region Municipality of Waterloo (RMOW), a mid-size region in Ontario has implemented an express transit service (iXpress) in Sept, 2005. The service has longer distances between stops and incorporates advanced technologies. The goal is to increase transit ridership and, as a result, to reduce GHG emissions. This research has been conducted to study the iXpress service and to develop several methods to determine the impacts of high speed transit service on passenger attraction, operational efficiency, and regional air quality. In this research, the change in total cost of travel between origin destination pairs is correlated to changes in observed ridership. Further, several surveys were conducted in the RMOW to evaluate the travel pattern changes of residents who switched from other modes to iXpress. Based on fuel consumption data, a model of GHG emissions as a function of route and vehicle characteristics has been developed to capture the operational impacts of a new iXpress service. The iXpress service of Grand River Transit (GRT) has been successful in attracting riders despite delays in technology implementation. The cost analysis presented in this research shows that the introduction of iXpress resulted in approximately 30% reduction in overall cost of travel by transit. As a result, ridership (boardings) has increased by 11% and 46% in the northern and southern sections of the iXpress service area respectively, while accounting for overall growth in the system. An analysis of travel patterns and mode shifts suggest that travelers switching from auto mode to iXpress have resulted in annualized reduction of approximately 530 tonnes of GHG. A fuel consumption analysis indicates that buses on the iXpress route have an average fuel consumption rate of 0.54 L/km while, buses serving local route consumes fuel of a rate of 0.62 L/km.

This work addresses the problem of stabilizing attitude dynamics with an unknown delay in feedback. Two cases are considered: 1) constant time-delay 2) time-varying time-delay. This is to our best knowledge the first result that provides asymptotically stable closed-loop control design for the attitude dynamics problem with an unknown delay in feedback. Strict upper bounds on the unknown delay are assumed to be known. The time-varying delay is assumed to be made of the constant unknown delay with a time-varying perturbation. Upper bounds on the magnitude and rate of the time-varying part of the delay are assumed to be known. A novel modification to the concept of the complete type Lyapunov-Krasovskii (L-K) functional plays a crucial role in this analysis towards ensuring stability robustness to time-delay in the control design. The governing attitude dynamic equations are partitioned to form a nominal system with a perturbation term. Frequency domain analysis is employed in order to construct necessary and sufficient stability conditions for the nominal system. Consequently, a complete type L-K functional is constructed for stability analysis that includes the perturbation term. As an intermediate step, an analytical solution for the underlying Lyapunov matrix is obtained. Departing from previous approaches, where controller parameter values are arbitrarily chosen to satisfy the sufficient conditions obtained from robustness analysis, a systematic numerical optimization process is employed here to choose control parameters so that the region of attraction is maximized. The estimate of the region of attraction is directly related to the initial angular velocity norm and the closed-loop system is shown to be stable for a large set of initial attitude orientations.

Abstract Global economy trends move towards globalization; furthermore, the exchange of the elites among different areas increases rapidly. Subsidiaries of the multinational enterprises spread widely all over the world; thus, the most important issue of International Human Resource Management is how to find appropriate personnel to manage the subsidiaries. In the early 80s, Taiwanese businessmen have begun inventing in China with nominal foreign investors or in an undistinguished way. Nowadays, Taiwanese businessmen play a crucial role in China. Besides, it is a trouble to the Taiwanese enterprises that Taiwanese businessmen expatriate employees to China. This study combines the current situation of Pearl River Delta Region, and analyzes the primal problem of Taiwanese technology enterprises in Pearl River Delta Region: transformation. The study discusses the importance of attracting Taiwanese elite to work in China during the period of transformation. Human resources are essential to the enterprises; therefore, the strategy of appealing to the talents becomes quite important. Via reading the documents, the study summarizes several influential factors to the thoughts of the Taiwanese employees who are expatriated to China. These factors are divided into the inner factors and the outer factors. The inner factors include the employees’ families, personalities, career plans, and so on; the outer factors contain the complete environment and anticipated opportunities. The study adds the inspiring strategy of the enterprises and the appropriate formulation to encourage the willingness of being expatriated to China. The study takes Foxconn as the subject to analyze the influential factors of the of the willingness for employees being expatriated, combining practical schemes. At last, it proposes the strategic suggestion to attract Taiwanese employees to Pearl River Delta Area through researching the current strategy.

Relatório de Estágio do Mestrado em Geografia Humana, Planeamento e Territórios Saudáveis apresentado à Faculdade de Letras
A propósito do estágio desenvolvido na Entidade Regional do Turismo do Centro, na delegação de Coimbra, foi realizado o presente relatório, sendo que o enquadramento teórico do estágio e deste relatório está diretamente relacionado com o marketing territorial. Uma vez que o processo de globalização e a crescente competição entre os territórios colocam novos problemas ao seu desenvolvimento, o planeamento estratégico assume-se como uma ferramenta crucial para a definição de opções que permitam a qualificação dos territórios. Na medida em que é necessário promover as potencialidades de um território e reforçar a competitividade, o marketing territorial surge como um auxiliar do planeamento estratégico. Este assume um papel relativamente importante no desenvolvimento sustentável do território, uma vez que permite a elaboração das estratégias, a identificação de necessidades, desejos e interesses dos diferentes stakeholders, analisando os elementos essenciais para que um lugar se torne atrativo, competitivo e diferenciado.O marketing territorial, ao potenciar o desenvolvimento das regiões, consegue atrair turistas bem como investimentos. Contudo, se este for bem-sucedido e planeado pode dar origem a uma marca territorial. Esta marca assume-se como uma ferramenta de elevada importância, uma vez que atribui ao destino uma identidade e, principalmente, uma imagem, diferenciando-o dos seus concorrentes. Com a aplicação do marketing aos territórios, este vai ter o seu efeito, transmitindo uma imagem. De modo a perceber essa imagem, houve lugar à realização de um inquérito acerca da imagem territorial, direcionado aos turistas, uma vez que são estes o público mais interativo com o território, passando por perceber se os turistas têm ou tinham uma visão estereotipada de algumas cidades/capitais de distrito.A Região Centro é constituída por territórios diferentes e com características únicas que os distinguem e os tornam atrativos, cada um à sua maneira. As cidades de Coimbra, Figueira da Foz e Mealhada foram as escolhidas para realizar os inquéritos aos turistas. Cada uma com as suas maravilhas e que as tornam únicas.
Regarding the stage developed in the Regional Tourism Entity of the Center, in the Coimbra delegation, this report was made, and the theoretical framework of the internship and of this report is directly related to territorial marketing.As the globalization process and increasing competition between territories pose new problems for their development, strategic planning is a crucial tool for the definition of options that allow the qualification of the territories. To the extent that it is necessary to promote the potential of a territory and strengthen competitiveness, territorial marketing appears as an aid to strategic planning. It assumes a relatively important role in the sustainable development of the territory, since it allows the elaboration of strategies, the identification of the needs, desires and interests of the different stakeholders, analyzing the essential elements for a place to become attractive, competitive and differentiated.Territorial marketing, by promoting the development of the regions, can attract tourists as well as investments. However, if it is successful and planned it can give rise to a territorial mark. This brand assumes itself as a tool of great importance, since it attributes to the destination an identity and, mainly, an image, differentiating it from its competitors.With the application of marketing to the territories, this will have its effect, conveying an image. In order to perceive this image, there was a question of the territorial image, directed to the tourists, since these are the most interactive public with the territory, passing to realize if the tourists have or had a stereotyped vision of some cities / capitals.The Central Region is made up of different territories with unique characteristics that distinguish them and make them attractive, each in its own way. The cities of Coimbra, Figueira da Foz and Mealhada were chosen to conduct the surveys of tourists. Each with its wonders and that make them unique.

Зямко К. Г. Моделювання інвестиційного клімату в Україні : кваліфікаційна робота магістра спеціальності 051 "Економіка" / наук. керівник В. О. Лось. Запоріжжя : ЗНУ, 2020. 99 с.
UA : У роботі досліджено теоретичні засади формування інвестиційного клімату. Виявлено, що поняття інвестиційного клімату та інвестиційної привабливості необхідно чітко розмежовувати. Інвестиційний клімат - більш широке поняття, ніж інвестиційна привабливість. Проаналізовано методи та моделі, які використовуються для оцінювання інвестиційного клімату України. Оцінено сучасний рівень інвестиційного клімату України та вплив факторів, які на його впливають. Отримана інформація дає можливість дослідити, проаналізувати, дати оцінку та здійснити прогнозування інвестиційного клімату України. Досліджено методи короткострокового прогнозування: метод експоненційного згладжування та метод ковзного середнього - дають можливість розрахувати та здійснити якісний прогноз. Було запропоновано та сформульовано власний підхід для розрахунку індексу інвестиційного клімату. Оцінювання здійснюється в декілька етапів: визначення показників, формування інформаційної бази, приведення даних до стандартизованого вигляду, визначення субіндексів, оцінка інвестиційного клімату регіонів, прогнозування рівня інвестиційного клімату. Проведений аналіз та прогноз показав, що збільшений обсяг інвестицій в економіку України забезпечить прискорення соціально-економічного розвитку регіонів та пріоритетних галузей виробництва.
EN : The theoretical bases of formation of investment climate are investigated. It was found that the concept of investment climate and investment attractiveness should be clearly distinguished. The investment climate is a broader concept than investment attractiveness. The methods and models used to assess the investment climate of Ukraine are analyzed. The current level of the Ukrainian investment climate and the influence of the factors that influence it are assessed. The information obtained makes it possible to study, analyze, evaluate and make predictions about the investment climate of Ukraine. The methods of short-term forecasting are investigated: the exponential smoothing method and the moving average method make it possible to calculate and implement a qualitative forecast. A proprietary approach to calculating the investment climate index has been proposed and formulated. The evaluation will take place in several stages: definition of indicators, formation of information base, reduction of data to a standardized type, definition of subindexes, assessment of the investment climate of regions, forecasting of the level of investment climate. The analysis and the forecast showed that the increased volume of investments in the economy of Ukraine will accelerate the socio-economic development of regions and priority industries. Therefore, the issue of creating favorable conditions for the development of business climate in Ukraine remains one of the most pressing.

The diploma thesis, entitled ?Milevsko. Its history, personalities and historical monuments?, is concerned with a South Bohemian town situated between Tábor and Písek, which is, unfortunately, quite neglected. It outlines the history of Milevsko from prehistory up to the present with respect to the latest research. More attention is paid to the foundation of Milevsko in the twelfth century and the Premonstratensian Monastery because it?s a national cultural monument which has a great importance for the town. The Thesis includes even other historical monuments and attractions which deserve attention. All accessible information about their origin, development, present condition and purpose are compiled in appropriate passages. Both cultural heritage of the town and contemporary relationship of town representatives to this heritage and their effort to restore and preserve it is presented on the basis of bibliography. The other part of the Thesis deals with famous and, till this time, not so famous personalities from this region. Information is obtained from witnesses to history and thanks to their witness it was possible to get less known or unpublished information. More attention was paid to famous personalities, with no monographs so far, because their benefit and importance in various fields are necessary to present and highlight.

The aim of this thesis is to highlight the importance of folk culture for tourism development and to suggest options for better evaluation and effective use of the potential of folk culture tourism in the selected region based on the results of the analysis in the region of Wallachia. In the introduction of the practical part I deal with the current supply of Wallachia. The fundamental part was quantitative marketing research in the form of a questionnaire survey. The aim of the survey was to identify the participants of tourism in terms of demographic characteristics, determine the purpose of the visit, analyse their financial expenses, and identify subjective perception of culture and assessment of infrastructure and services in the region. I designed a new product called "Wallachia hunt", which aim was to involve young people in the Wallachia culture, tourism allows participants to actively and an interesting way to travel around the region and specifically to discover its natural and cultural wealth. "Wallachia hunt" is based on the worldwide known activity called geocaching. In my work I have put together a detailed proposal for annual testing of this activity.

Seagrass meadows, such as found in the Little Swanport estuary, Tasmania, Australia, provide a high ecosystem service that typically responds to natural destructive events and nitrogen loading at decadal to inter-decadal scales. Consequently, determining and understanding the effects of anthropogenic impacts, such as the estuary’s shellfish aquaculture, requires an ecological time series of sufficient length to develop a long-term predictive theory behind changes to pattern and process and distinguish anthropogenic from natural effects. The aims of this study were to produce the appropriate long-term ecological time series for the Little Swanport estuary by combining sediment core and long term datasets (83 years to 139 years) in a palaeo-reconstruction that includes natural and anthropogenic variability, and to develop a general predictive theory behind pattern and process. The reconstructed time series was designed to include the elements of top down and bottom up control on the reconstructed seagrass–micro-algal assemblage: planktivorous fish predation, copepod feeding, calcareous sessile epifauna, seagrass-mediated nitrogen fixation, and external nutrient supply as the concentration of potential inorganic nitrogen (CPN). Ecosystem variance in the upper region of the estuary differed from the lower estuary. Within the upper estuary, weight of evidence suggested variability was consistent with decadal periods of seagrass meadow destruction and recovery as two seagrass transient regime states, followed by stable natural and impacted seagrass regime states. The transient regimes appeared to be limited by nitrogen, the natural stable regimes appeared to be limited by light and the impacted regime had a near complete reliance on light mediated nitrogen fixation. The switch between nitrogen and light limiting resources was consistent with a change from a strong to weak top down control by a planktivorous fish–copepod–sestonic–calcareous epifaunal trophic cascade. Comparisons with both temporal and spatial natural patterns and processes indicated the dependence of nitrogen fixation was the result of the lower estuary shellfish aquaculture ‘soaking up’ the supply of inorganic nitrogen from coastal waters during an extended period of drought. Within the lower estuary there was no evidence of direct effects of floods, tsunamis or shellfish aquaculture on the long-term pattern and process. Nevertheless, there was an uninterrupted repeatable natural ecosystem periodicity (i.e. a neutral model) of 57.9 years for the seagrass and micro-algal assemblage and a planktivorous fish–copepod–sestonic–calcareous epifaunal trophic cascade with a CPN at twice the biome frequency. The seagrass and micro-algal assemblage was inversely correlated but the trophic cascade was 13 years out of phase, driven by a CPN periodicity at twice the biome frequency in phase with the peaks and troughs of the seagrass and micro-algal assemblage. As a consequence, there was a change from a positive to a negative correlation of the CPN with seagrass abundance that was consistent with a change from seagrass nitrogen to light limitation. This switch was coincident during times of a CPN minimum together with strong and weak top down control respectively. By linking changes in top down control with the evolution of a seagrass meadow’s configuration a general theory of seagrass meadow dynamics was developed, constructed, in part, from data and generic postulates taken from other seagrass ecosystems systems. The theory unified two desperate approaches to seagrass meadow variance, namely light and nutrient limitation, within the framework of landscape ecology and consequently highlighted a number concerns for managers of seagrass ecosystems: (1) the loss of a seagrass meadow by flood damage may produce a seagrass transient regime and not a micro-algal regime, in which recovery of the transient is assisted by a moderate increase and not a reduction in nutrient supply; (3) changes to the extent of the landscape patch configuration can determine the light and nutrient limitation status of the seagrass meadow, consequently, rehabilitation of the seagrass meadow after loss or damage, by replanting or through the control of nutrient supply, may need to take into account the landscape patch configuration of the plantation or the damaged landscape in relation to the dynamics of nutrient supply; (4) the effects on the seagrass meadow from over-harvesting of planktivorous fish fishing or the introduction of piscivorous fish will depend on the light or nutrient limitation status of the seagrass meadows.
