Magistro baigiamojo darbo „Augalų pavadinimų etimologinė motyvacija“. Darbo tikslas –augalų pavadinimus iš „Dabartinės lietuvių kalbos žodyno“ suskirstyti pagal etimologinę motyvaciją. „Dabartinės lietuvių kalbos žodynas“– lobynas, kuriame gausu plačios vartosenos lietuvių kalbos leksikos, tarp jų ir fitonimų terminų reikšmės. Norint pasiekti darbo tikslą, įgyvendinti šie uždaviniai: išrinkti ,,Dabartinės Lietuvių kalbos žodyne“ esantys augalų pavadinimai ir jų reikšmės; parengtas augalų pavadinimų etimologijos sąvadas; procentais apskaičiuoti augalų kilmės šaltiniai; remiantis literatūra, aptartos augalų pavadinimų kilmės hipotezės. Išvadose pateikti statistiniai duomenys rodo, kad iš ,,Dabartinės Lietuvių kalbos žodyno“ esančių 800 augalų pavadinimų yra: a) ~12 % senosios indoeuropiečių prokalbės žodžių; b) ~ (9%) tik baltų kalboms būdinga leksika; c) ~6% tik lietuvių kalbos leksikai būdingų žodžių; d) ~5 % baltų ir slavų kalbų bendrybių; e) ~ 49% dūrinių; f) ~ 68% Skolintinė leksika, kurios didžiąją dalį sudaro tarptautiniai žodžiai, arba internacionalizmai ir slavizmai. Išnagrinėjus augalų pavadinimų etimologinę motyvaciją pastebėta, kad kalbininkams, įdomi ne tik augalų reikšmė, paskirtis, bet ir kilmė, leidžianti iš arčiau pažinti įvairovės pilną augalų pasaulį. Darbas gali būti naudingas leksikologijos, kalbos istorijos, terminologijos ir botanikos specialistams. / The aim of the master‘s work the main purpose of this work is to fractionate plants' names from the current Lithuanian dictionary by etymological motivation. The current Lithuanian Dictionary is a treasury rich in wide usage of Lithuanian language lexicon, including the meaning of terms as plants. In order to achieve this purpose the following tasks were implemented: some names of plants and their meanings were selected from the "current Lithuanian language dictionary"; the collection of plants' names was prepared; the percentage of origin sources of plants was calculated; the hypothesis of the plants names origin were discussed according to the literature. In conclusion, statistics says, that from 800 names of plants: a) ~12 % words are from old Indo-European parent language; b) ~ 9 % words are from Balts; c) ~ 6 % words are from Lithuanian lexic; d) ~ 5 % are from generalities of Balts and Slavs; e) ~ 49 % complex words; f) ~ 68% the lent lexicon which is consisting mainly of international words or internationalisms and slavisms. After the examination of plant names etymological motivation, it was noticed that linguists were intrested not only in the meaning of plant names, but also in the origin, allowing to acknowledge the full diversity of the plant world. This work might be useful for lexicology, the history of the language, terminology and botanical experts.

C-type cytochromes are ubiquitous proteins with crucial functions in organisms, which include electron transfer and apoptotic signalling. In eukaryotic organisms, mitochondrial cytochrome c is located in the intermembrane space, and it is a component of the electron transport chain; it is responsible for transferring electrons from Complex III to Complex IV. The regulated release of cytochrome c from mitochondria results in the activation of a signal transduction pathway leading to controlled cell death, or apoptosis. In mitochondrial c-type cytochromes, the heme is bound to both cysteines of a CXXCH motif located near the N-terminus. The covalent heme attachment in c-type cytochromes, the final step in its biosynthesis, is achieved by different cytochrome c biogenesis systems in different organisms. Out of these systems, System III, found in many eukaryotes, has a single component - holocytochrome c synthase (HCCS) which is the enzyme responsible for the catalysis of heme binding to cytochrome c. HCCS recognises apocytochrome c as a substrate upon the import of the apocytochrome from the cytosolic space to the mitochondrial intermembrane space. The requirements of amino acid sequence for HCCS recognition had remained an intriguing question, despite the relatively long period since the discovery of the enzyme. Thus, HCCS in System III and its substrate recognition is the subject of this thesis. This thesis describes the experiments showing that the N-terminal region of the mitochondrial cytochrome c protein is important for substrate recognition, as well as further characterisation of this sequence by mutagenesis. Out of several highly conserved residues in the N-terminus, a phenylalanine residue in the N-terminus is identified to be critical for heme attachment by HCCS. The role of this phenylalanine residue in the interaction between the two proteins was probed by substituting it with a range of residues. Furthermore, the importance of the spacing between the key phenylalanine residue and the CXXCH motif was investigated. A single-cysteine variant of the mitochondrial cytochrome c with a single bond to the heme is produced by HCCS, but heme attachment only occurs if histidine is present as an axial ligand to the heme iron. Replacement of the histidine with other potential iron-ligating residues abolished heme attachment. These results bring insight into the critical features in amino acid sequence of cytochrome c for the substrate recognition specificity of HCCS. Sequence analysis on the N-terminal region of mitochondrial cytochromes c in a variety of organisms reveals evolutionary implications for cytochrome c biogenesis systems. It also attempts to explain the reason for negative results in previous chapters for the analysis of the N-terminal region of cytochrome c. An improved method for human HCCS production is also described in this thesis, for the exploitation of purification and characterisation in future studies of HCCS.

Sauger Sander canadensis are a native top level predator and popular sport fish. They are native to large, turbid midwestern rivers and are a highly migratory species that relies on unrestricted access to specific habitats throughout their lifespan. Due to specific habitat requirements and popularity as a sport fish, Sauger are in decline across much of their range. Habitat alterations including barriers, channelization and sedimentation, as well as overharvest, have resulted in population declines. Sauger are often subject to relatively high levels of exploitation because of their tendency to concentrate below dams during migrations, which leaves them vulnerable to anglers. The lower Kaskaskia River below Carlyle Lake dam and the lower Ohio River contain important Sauger sport fisheries despite the presence of multiple dams on both rivers and the potential for high levels of exploitation. However, effects of current and potential harvest regulations on Sauger stocks in the Kaskaskia and Ohio rivers have not been assessed. From previous annual monitoring surveys, Sauger in the Ohio and Kaskaskia rivers have very different size and age structures and are managed under different regulations. Additionally, the Kaskaskia River and its largest reservoir (Carlyle Lake) are stocked annually with Sauger, but the contributions of stocked Sauger and immigrants from the Mississippi River to the Kaskaskia River Sauger stock are unknown. I first sought to assess population demographics of Sauger in the Kaskaskia and Ohio Rivers to gain a baseline understanding of both populations and then used these data to evaluate harvest regulations on each river. This objective tested the null hypothesis that no differences in recruitment indices, growth rates and mortality rates exist between Sauger populations within each river. Sauger in the Kaskaskia River are currently managed under a 356-mm minimum length limit and a 6-fish daily bag limit. Prior to 2018, the lower Ohio River was managed under no minimum length limit and a 10-fish daily bag limit. To assess the contribution of Sauger from different environments to the Kaskaskia River stock, I used otolith microchemistry to infer recruitment sources of fish and assess movement of fish between the Kaskaskia and middle Mississippi rivers. This objective tested the null hypothesis that no difference existed in the contribution of different rivers to the Kaskaskia River sauger population. The Ohio River Sauger population had a small age and size structure relative to the Kaskaskia River. Sauger from each river exhibited fast growth rates and high annual mortality. Population modeling indicated that the current 356-mm minimum size limit for Sauger in the Kaskaskia River is sufficient at preventing growth overfishing and is likely resulting in the larger size structure compared to the Ohio River. Sauger were likely experiencing growth and recruitment overfishing in the Ohio River under no minimum length limit and will likely benefit from the 356-mm minimum length limit implemented in 2018. Otolith microchemistry revealed that Sauger from the Mississippi River represented a small contribution to the Kaskaskia River Sauger stock; however, some fish showed evidence of moving between the Kaskaskia and Mississippi rivers. Similar water chemistry between the hatchery and Carlyle Lake prevented the identification of hatchery origin Sauger. Because the Sauger stock in the Kaskaskia River appears to be primarily supported by stocking of fish into Carlyle Lake or natural reproduction within the Kaskaskia River, fisheries managers should focus on quantifying the contribution of hatchery fish to the Kaskaskia River stock.

A origem da controladoria no Brasil está relacionada a instalação das primeiras empresas multinacionais norte-americanas no país. Na época a função do profissional da controladoria estava ligada à área financeira ou da contabilidade, devido à habilidade de trabalhar com informações econômico-financeiras, bem como, pelo conhecimento sistêmico da organização. Do surgimento da controladoria no Brasil até os dias atuais, o país passou por grandes transformações, especialmente nos aspectos econômicos e sociais, pois o mundo se globalizou, reduzindo as fronteiras entre os países. Para que o país pudesse se inserir neste contexto globalizado foi necessário que o brasileiro se adaptasse a uma nova forma de fazer negócios a nível mundial. Além do que, para se manterem competitivas, as organizações brasileiras passaram a demandar, cada vez mais melhorias em seus processos e controles. Diante disso, este trabalho tem como objetivo evidenciar como ocorreu a evolução da controladoria no Brasil, através do estudo da sua origem, evolução do perfil, atribuições do controller e identificação das principais atribuições da controladoria no país. Quanto ao método classifica-se esta pesquisa como descritiva, sendo conduzida através de pesquisa bibliográfica. Os resultados demonstram que a evolução da controladoria no Brasil, acompanhou a evolução da controladoria a nível mundial, uma vez que ocorreu a partir das necessidades de informações e controles que acompanharam a evolução natural da economia brasileira. Neste contexto, a controladoria passou a ser um importante player da gestão empresarial, pois auxilia os gestores durante todo o processo decisório a fim, de garantir a eficácia do negócio. Entretanto no campo semântico conclui-se que a controladoria ainda precisa evoluir, pois não existe consenso entre os pesquisadores sobre o que é a controladoria, sobre as suas funções e atribuições. / The origin of controllership in Brazil is connected to the settlement of the first US multinational companies in the country. Back then, the function of a controller was linked to finance or accounting, because of the ability to work with economic and financial pieces of information as well as the systemic knowledge of the company. From the beginning of controllership in Brazil to nowadays the country has gone through major changes, especially economic and social aspects as the world has globalized, reducing the boundaries between countries. For the country to enter this globalized context it was necessary for the Brazilian one to adapt to a new way of doing business globally. Moreover, to remain competitive Brazilian companies began demanding more and more improvements in their processes and controls. Thus, this work aims to show how the evolution of controllership was in Brazil, through the controllership origin study, profile evolution checking and the controller assignments and identifying the main tasks of controllership in the country. As for the method this research is descriptive, driven by bibliographic search. The results show that the evolution of controllership in Brazil followed the global controllership evolution once it occurred from the information requirements and controls that followed natural Brazilian economy evolution. In this context, controllership has become a major player in business management, as it assists managers throughout the decision-making process in order to ensure business effectiveness. However, in the semantic field controllership still needs to evolve as there is no consensus among researchers about what controllership is, on its functions and tasks.
