This work is a contribution to the concept of memory location in the Czech historiography. The main person is František Miroslav Čapek, native from a little town Lišov, near České Budějovice, which dedicated most of his life for research on the South Bohemian history. During his life he wrote several books, but also he done many deeds, which he memorized the South Bohemian people. This work was written on the basis studying of the professional literature, personal fond by F. M. Čapek and especially a book production by this amateur historian. This work is devided, among the introduction and the end, to three chapters. The first chapter is explaining the most important terms and concepts, the second one introduces life F. M. Čapek and the third, finaly part, focused on the analysis concepts his memory, especially in book production and performed deeds.

The Diploma Thesis is focused on the technical monuments in Křivoklátsko region which are used in the education at primary school via educational excursions. The theoretical part of my Diploma Thesis concentrates on the technical education and its position at primary school. It also concerns the technical monuments, their typology, protection, and the declaration of the monuments as technical monuments of Křivoklátsko. The final part is dedicated to ten technical monuments in Křivoklátsko. The practical part of my Diploma Thesis contains particular educational excursions to the chosen technical monuments which are aimed to the education at primary school. The information background for teachers is the part of each educational excursion. The final section of the practical part is focused on the indicative verification of use of the educational excursions at primary school.

This master thesis focuses on technical monuments in Tyn nad Vltavou region and their use in primary school education. The theoretical part of the thesis describes the technical education and the excursion method and their use at primary school. It also deals with the characteristics of technical monuments, their categorization and the ways of their preservation. The end of the theoretical part focuses on the description of selected technical monuments in Tyn nad Vltavou region. The practical part of the thesis introduces seven proposed excursions to selected technical monuments, which are intended for pupils of the first grade of primary school. The effectivity of the proposed excursions is verified at the end of the practical part by a survey research.

Orientador: Tania Regina de Luca / Resumo: O objeto principal deste trabalho é uma parte da história do Jardim América que se inicia com o primeiro projeto proposto pelo escritório dos urbanistas Raymond Unwin e Barry Parker na Inglaterra e vai até o processo de seu tombamento como patrimônio paisagístico na cidade de São Paulo. Procuramos partir do contexto de atuação do capital inglês no município de São Paulo por meio da organização da empresa britânica Companhia City, assim como destacar as relações econômicas, sociais e espaciais com a cidade e o lançamento do Jardim América como bairro-jardim. Descrevemos o bairro em seu processo de transformação ao longo do tempo, sua acentuada caracterização como bairro-jardim e sua posterior descaracterização. Também analisamos o movimento de defesa do Jardim América e a conseqüente preservação de seu traçado e limites, bem como sua reunião aos bairros vizinhos, os quais assimilaram dele a característica de bairro-jardim. Esse movimento enfatizava o tombamento da região conhecida hoje como .Jardins., a primeira área urbana residencial a alcançar o estatuto de patrimônio paisagístico na cidade de São Paulo, com base na paisagem e no traçado urbanos. / Abstract: The main object of this work is a part of Jardim America's history, which has begun with the first project proposed by the planners Raymond Unwin and Barry Parker, in England, until the process of its official registration as lanscape patrimony in the city of São Paulo. We seek to set the analysis from the context of performance of the English capital in the city of São Paulo by means of the organization of the British Companhia City, and to emphasize the economical, social and spacial relationships with the city and the release of Jardim America as garden quarter/district. We describe the city district during its transformation process along the time, its accentuated characterization as garden quarter/district and its subsequent decharacterization. We also analyze the movement in defense of Jardim América and the consequent preservation of its plan and limits, as well as its integration with the neighboring city districts, which have assimilated the garden quarter/district characteristics. That movement emphasized the official registration of the area known today as "Jardins", the first residential urban area to get the statute of landscape patrimony in the city of São Paulo, based on the landscape and its urban plan. / Doutor

The response of tropical forests to anthropogenic climate change is critically important to future global carbon budgets, yet remains highly uncertain. Here, we investigate how precipitation, temperature, solar radiation and dry-and wet-season lengths are related to annual tree growth, flower production, and fruit production in three moist tropical forest tree species using long-term datasets from tree rings and litter traps in central Panama. We also evaluated how growth, flower, and fruit production were interrelated. We found that growth was positively correlated with wet-season precipitation in all three species: Jacaranda copaia (r = 0.63), Tetragastris panamensis (r = 0.39) and Trichilia tuberculata (r = 0.39). Flowering and fruiting in Jacaranda were negatively related to current-year dry-season rainfall and positively related to prior-year dry-season rainfall. Flowering in Tetragastris was negatively related to current-year annual mean temperature while Trichilia showed no significant relationships of reproduction with climate. Growth was significantly related to reproduction only in Tetragastris, where it was positively related to previous year fruiting. Our results suggest that tree growth in moist tropical forest tree species is generally reduced by drought events such as those associated with strong El Nino events. In contrast, interannual variation in reproduction is not generally associated with growth and has distinct and species-specific climate responses, with positive effects of El Nino events in some species. Understanding these contrasting climate effects on tree growth and reproduction is critical to predicting changes in tropical forest dynamics and species composition under climate change.
