Geólogo / Este trabajo tiene por objetivo generar un inventario y analizar la distribución areal y por tipo de remociones en masa desencadenadas por el sismo de magnitud Mw 8,8 en la zona central de Chile, ocurrido el 27 de Febrero de 2010. Los datos de ubicación del inventario se obtuvieron mediante dos formas: i) Recopilación de información de los eventos de remoción en masa registrados en la Zona Central de Chile, entre los 32,8° y 38,5° latitud Sur y ii) Identificación de remociones en masa mediante interpretación de imágenes satelitales de la zona occidental (Planicie Litoral y Cordillera de la Costa) de la zona indicada anteriormente. La cantidad de eventos inventariados es 290. Los más abundantes son los deslizamientos superficiales (118) y caídas de roca (55), seguidos por las extensiones laterales (51). En menor medida se observaron deslizamientos rotacionales (8), procesos de remoción en masa mixta (4) y un flujo de barro. No fue posible clasificar cincuenta y tres remociones en masa, por lo que se agruparon como indiferenciadas. Las remociones en masa generada por el terremoto de 2010 se concentran en el relieve de la Cordillera de la Costa y acantilados costeros, en un rango de distancia al área de ruptura que varía entre 21 a 85 km en la zona occidental, existiendo registros en la Cordillera Principal a 113 km del área de ruptura, con una media de 40 km considerando el área completa. La distribución geográfica de las remociones se encuentra dentro de lo esperado dado un sismo de magnitud 8.8, donde los deslizamientos disgregados se ubican en un área más extensa que las extensiones laterales. La correlación con las intensidades sísmicas muestra que a mayor intensidad mayor densidad de remociones en el área, sin embargo no explica la alta concentración en la península de Arauco y Cordillera de Nahuelbuta donde se ubican un tercio de las inestabilidades registradas. Existen condiciones geológicas, tectónicas y morfológicas que hacen a esa zona más propensa a la generación de remociones. En la zona occidental, las rocas sedimentarias del Paleógeno-Neógeno muestran la mayor cantidad de remociones por kilómetro cuadrado, seguidas por las rocas metamórficas donde ocurren la mayoría de los deslizamientos superficiales. En rocas intrusivas se registraron la mayor cantidad de remociones, siendo la litología predominante en la generación de caídas de rocas. Las extensiones laterales se dieron en sedimentos poco a no consolidados en las riberas de ríos y esteros en zonas planas. Los resultados de este estudio, señalan factores que condicionan el fallamiento de laderas frente a un sismo de subducción de gran magnitud y extensa área de ruptura en la zona costera y por tanto puede contribuir a predecir inestabilidades de ladera ante futuros grandes sismos de subducción en otras zonas del país.

South Africa’s hosting of the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ came at a time when the position as host of a high-profile mega-event has become a sought-after status for countries worldwide. Not only do these events hold the promise of extensive triple-bottom-line legacies, but they also offer an extremely powerful destination marketing platform. However, no destination is guaranteed success and sustainable competitiveness by being offered the once-off opportunity to host a major international event. This study focuses on the ways and measures in which mega-events can contribute to destination competitiveness in its entirety as depicted in a popular model of tourism destination competitiveness. Existing literature on destination competitiveness and mega-events, as well as comparative case studies of recent mega-events were explored to furnish a set of apparent key success factors for the sustainable hosting of mega-events. This set of factors was then tested within a case study context through the collection of primary and secondary qualitative data. Industry experts from both the tourism and events industries in the City of Tshwane were interviewed on the eve of the 2010 FIFA World Cup™. In addition, strategic documents and other secondary data were investigated to form an understanding of the role of the event as a potential catalyst for destination development. The City’s competitiveness was evaluated before the event, and compared to an evaluation of its perceived competitiveness as a result of the event. Based on the findings, a set of five critical success factors was developed. It includes the need to address eventsm as a strategic destination priority; effective stakeholder identification and role clarification; resource management for the event; alignment of the event strategy with the overall destination marketing strategy; and pro-actively addressing environmental issues. These factors are presented within a timeframe before, during and after the actual event. Through the proposed framework, it may be possible to manage the hosting of events in such a way as to contribute to sustained, holistic competitiveness of the host destination; ensuring alignment with the overall destination marketing and management strategy. / Dissertation (MCom)--University of Pretoria, 2011. / Tourism Management / unrestricted

Mega-events are associated with significant positive implications such as enhanced international exposure of the host, improved infrastructure, increased tourist numbers, higher employment levels and tax revenues, greater feelings of patriotism among host region residents and integration of the host into the international community. Supporters of events have claimed that the occasions stimulate prominent economic gains for the host region. The economic and tourism growth that occurred in Barcelona following the 1992 Olympic Games is erroneously cited by proponents of hosting as an example of the potential benefits that an event can derive on the host. Those Games were not the sole driver of growth in the region. An analysis of previous mega-events, demonstrated that net benefits were not a necessary consequence of hosting. Comparison of pre-event estimates of the economic impact and their actual effects are universally divergent. The observation was validated by the consensus academic opinion that economic impact studies systematically overstate the benefits of hosting, and underestimate the costs. Further, different forward-looking studies of the same event, calculate vastly different predictions. The tools for calculating the economic impact, specifically Input-Output Analysis and Computable General Equilibrium, do not provide useful predictions given their dependence on the inaccurate data. With 2010 cost data having continually increased since 2003, determining the appropriate inputs to an I-O or CGE is problematic. It was identified that the weight given to the multiplier effect was also a factor in the amplification of the expected benefits. Given the poor data sets available as inputs to I-O and CGE models, the study concentrated on conducting a comprehensive Cost-Benefit Analysis of the determinants of the economic impact of the 2010 World Cup based on the premise that the identification of the relative costs and benefits of staging the event was regarded as a greater contribution to the body of knowledge on the topic. It can be expected that there will not be significant short-term economic gains; this study predicted a net cost of R8.4bn, which is marginally offset by short-term net intangible benefits. The short-term economic consequences of the 2010 World Cup are expected to be overshadowed by the long-term effects on revenues within the tourism industry. The image implication of hosting 2010 is the most salient factor in considering the economic impact of 2010, as an alteration in the national image can have long-term effects on FDI and tourism. It is however not a certainty that the international exposure that South Africa receives will be beneficial, in the instance that the World Cup is characterised by poor organisational measures or crime. The net impact of hosting is expected to be a function of the long-term benefits, which can be expected to exceed the short-terms costs, and derive a cumulative net benefit from staging 2010. The World Cup is however unlikely to stimulate the economic growth rate above levels that would have occurred had the event not been held in South Africa.

From an analysis of the literature it is apparent that there has been no concerted effort to date to undertake a coherent and integrated assessment of the application of e-marketing in sport mega-events. A strategic evaluation of the e-marketing initiatives implemented since 2000 during national and international mega events, indicates that e-marketing, in most instances, took place in a limited and fragmented manner. However a further analysis of these case studies provides valuable perspectives and lessons that could inform the research process related to e-marketing during the 2010 FIFA Soccer World CupTM. Against this background each of the selected sport mega-events since 2000 was investigated in terms of how e-marketing technology was used in the particular event, the e-marketing challenges experienced, the key e-marketing lessons learnt and the apparent e-marketing critical success factors related to these events. The theoretical context and the lessons learnt from previous mega-event case studies provided the background and frame of reference for the empirical research into the use of e-marketing during the 2010 Soccer World CupTM. The key envisaged outcome was to theoretically develop an e-marketing framework that can serve as a guideline to fully optimise e-marketing in future sports mega-events. The research findings were presented and the 16 critical e-marketing success factors (CSFs) that may contribute to the success of sport mega-events were identified. Specific conclusions were made based on the results obtained and specific actions were recommended for future additional research in the sport mega-events field. / Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2013. / gm2013 / Tourism Management / PhD / Unrestricted

In current BI projects, the main emphasis is not put on the process of working with data anymore. The main focus is on working with information -- on technologies and applications that enable to put the data into context and that make possible for the users to get access to information which they use during a decision process. The theme of the thesis is the analysis of possible ways the portal technologies that are incorporated in portal products can be used for working with information from BI systems. The aim of the thesis is to analyze the possibilities of enterprise portal from the viewpoint of its usefulness as a part of company's BI solution. Another objective is to evaluate the situation of the portal products market and to analyze the potentialities of the Microsoft Sharepoint 2010 portal product. The thesis is divided into two logical parts. The first part contains definitions of the terms connected to BI and enterprise portals. It also deals with general evaluation of the potentialities of portal technologies for BI and with evaluation of the portal products market situation. The second part focuses on Sharepoint 2010 -- the latest portal product from Microsoft. This part contains Sharepoint 2010 functionality evaluation considering the individual versions of this product. Further, the position of Sharepoint 2010 in Microsoft's current BI strategy is analyzed. The potentialities of the product as a part of Microsoft BI solution are evaluated. A company that considers buying a portal product can use the thesis as a source of general information about portal technologies and their usefulness in a company's BI. The thesis also offers up-to-date information about the current situation of the portal products' market. If the company considers buying Sharepoint 2010 portal product, the thesis is a source of detailed information which can contribute to a quick and high-quality decision on the suitability and availability of this solution.

Today's world is globally connected by various IT or ICT technologies. There is a plenty of information around the world. People that are able to work effectively with the information have really big advantage. This is mainly the reason why many products are being made only with one purpose -- to make this process more effective, easier and faster. One of them is Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010. The work is all about this product and its implementation into a small company. An introduction discusses basic reasons that can lead to implement SharePoint. The first logical part of the work describes functionality of the portal and is divided into six groups of functions. For better illustration, there are also examples based on real scenarios. The second part of the text focuses on individual phases of the process of implementation of SharePoint Server 2010 into the company and it also includes an example of real installation. The last part of the work is focused on design of the project collaboration web for the specific company. In individual chapters, the reader gradually learns about the possibilities of practical use of SharePoint functionality and also about the implementation of this software into the company environment. In both parts author uses his practical experience which he gained by working with the technology in a real environment.

The main theme of this diploma thesis is the implementation of Microsoft Project Server 2010 into practice. In the first part there is described a dilemma of project management and its role in domain of management by projects. Analysis of current situation in the field of taught portfolio management courses is also part of this section. This analysis is focused on czech universities environment and courses in private training centres. The most important part is the second part of this dissertation, which is focused on description of the Microsfot Project Server 2010 implementation. The general benefit from this description is the cumulative overview step by step from basic installation to local clients software configuration. From the functional side this thesis gives implemented SharePoint Server 2010 and Project Server 2010, which are going to be used as one of the cornerstone of new course in The University of Economics in Prag.

This diploma thesis is focused on the issue of chain transactions. The main aim of the thesis is to suggest the companies participating in the model chain transactions in the case study the appropriate measures leading to the optimization of tax obligations related to VAT. The measures are divided according to three criteria: tax period harmonization, tax savings in cash flow and elimination of administrative burden. The key provisions in the recast of the Sixth Directive, the VAT Act and the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union are analyzed. Based on the comparison of various solutions, the most optimal procedures are assessed and the appropriate measures are recommended.

O corpus de poemas a serem analisados nesse estudo é: o poema intitulado "Ode a Fernando Pessoa", de 1961, os manifestos em prosa poética "O Minotauro dos minutos", "A máquina de matar o tempo", "Bules, bílis e bolas" e "Catedral da Desordem", datados de 1962, e os dois primeiros livros de Piva -Paranóia (1963) e Piazzas (1964). Destacam-se, para o presente estudo, os seguintes autores referidos neste corpus e considerados na análise da poesia de Piva: Mário de Andrade, Allen Ginsberg, Oswald de Andrade, Jorge de Lima, Murilo Mendes, Walt Whitman, Fernando Pessoa, Wladimir Maiakovski, Federico Garcia Lorca, Dante Alighieri, William Blake e Pablo Neruda. / Abstract: This project aims to study Roberto Piva's poetry, in particular its first period (beginning of the 60's), with the purpose to make an intertextual analysis by the literary references present in his writings, and in the way how they work like a poetic matrix to construct his original poetry. The corpus of the poems to be analyzed in this research is: the poem entitled "Ode a Fernando Pessoa" (1961); the prose-poetic manifests "O Minotauro dos minutos", "A máquina de matar o tempo", "Bules, bílis e bolas" and "Catedral da Desordem" (1962); and, finally, the first two books "Paranóia" (1963) and "Piazzas" (1964). Considering the dialog of the Piva's poetry with the literature, the present study detach the citations and allusions, in his poems, from the authors: Mario de Andrade, Allen Ginsberg, Oswald de Andrade, Jorge de Lima, Murilo Mendes, Walt Whitman, Fernando Pessoa, Wladimir Maiakovski, Federico Garcia Lorca, Dante Alighieri, William Blake e Pablo Neruda. / Mestrado / Literatura Brasileira / Mestre em Teoria e História Literária
