Updates in RDF stores have recently been standardised in the SPARQL 1.1 Update specification. However, computing answers entailed by ontologies in triple stores is usually treated orthogonal to updates. Even the W3C's recent SPARQL 1.1 Update language and SPARQL 1.1 Entailment Regimes specifications explicitly exclude a standard behaviour how SPARQL endpoints should treat entailment regimes other than simple entailment in the context of updates. In this paper, we take a first step to close this gap. We define a fragment of SPARQL basic graph patterns corresponding to (the RDFS fragment of) DL-Lite and the corresponding SPARQL update language, dealing with updates both of ABox and of TBox statements. We discuss possible semantics along with potential strategies for implementing them. We treat both, (i) materialised RDF stores, which store all entailed triples explicitly, and (ii) reduced RDF Stores, that is, redundancy-free RDF stores that do not store any RDF triples (corresponding to DL-Lite ABox statements) entailed by others already. / Series: Working Papers on Information Systems, Information Business and Operations

The theses compares analytical methods according to current norms used in the Czech Republic to the methods based on the principle according to US EPA. A new device the automatic photometer Aquakem 250 makes use of the US EPA methods. Prior to its laboratory use in the Institute of Public Health in the town of Ostrava the photometer had to be validated. For the comparsion of the analytical methods ion chromatographic, isotachophoresis, spectrophotometric,titrimetric methods were used. The validation process, which was documented (in validation protocols), was time consuming and technically challenging. It was confirmed that the new Aquakem 250 analyzer provides result that are verified by methods which are in accordance with norms applicable in the Czech Republic. After a successful completion of validation and obtained accreditation the new automatic analyzer was put into regular operation in the chemically laboratory.

Allergi förekommer hos cirka 20 % av befolkningen i Sverige. Av de 20 % bedöms 40 % vara allergiska mot pollen. Allergi uppstår då en individ upprepade gånger exponeras för ett allergiframkallande ämne sk allergen. IgE-antikroppar bildas och binder till basofila granulocyter och mastceller. Den allergiska reaktionen eller överkänslighetsreaktionen av typ I uppkommer när ett allergen exempelvis pollen, kommer i direkt kontakt med IgE-antikroppar på mastceller eller basofila granulocyter. Allergiska individer har högre koncentration av IgE-antikroppar i blodet än icke allergiska. Normal koncentration av IgE i serum hos icke allergiker är <0.35 kU/L. Syftet med studien var att genom analys av serumprover från 50 patienter jämföra två immunokemiska metoder på analysinstrumenten, Siemens immulite® 2000 XPi och Thermo Fisher Phadia® 250, för detektion av IgE-antikroppar riktade mot en inhalationspanel respektive björkpollen. Immulite® 2000 XPi användes som referensmetod. Jämförelsen gjordes för att bedöma om metoderna gav överensstämmande resultat och om Phadia® 250 skulle kunna användas som ett alternativ till rutinmetoden. Studiematerialet bestod av 50 patienter i åldrarna 18–80 år, 17  män (34 %) och 33 kvinnor (66 %). Resultatet visade att metoderna överlag gav överrensstämmande resultat med avseende på positiva och negativa IgE-värden, men att de uppmätta värdena för metoderna saknade överrensstämmelse. Analysresultaten från de båda metoderna gav överlag god korrelation vid analys av specifikt IgE mot björk (R=0,977) men en svagare korrelation vid analys av inhalationspanel (R=0,609). Med hjälp av Man-Whitney u-test sågs en signifikant skillnad vid IgE-analys mot björk (p= 0,0006) däremot sågs inte en signifikant skillnad mellan metodernas IgE-värden mot inhalationspanelerna (p=0,2398). För att kunna utvärdera om Phadia® 250 skulle kunna användas som ett alternativ till rutinmetoden, krävs en större population av prover samt fler analystillfällen. / Allergy is nowadays a public health problem that’s affecting 20 % of the Swedish population. A very common allergen that is related to 40% of all the allergic cases is pollen. Allergic reactions occur when an  individual is repeatedly exposed to an allergenic substance called allergene. IgE antibodies then form and bind to basophilic granulocytes and mast cells. The allergic reaction or type I hypersensitivity reaction, occurs when an allergen such as pollen comes into direct contact with IgE antibodies on mast cells or basophilic granulocytes. IgE is produced by plasma cells under the influence of CD4+ T lymphocytes. The IgE antibodies synthesized then sensitize the mast cells and basophilic granulocytes which are the most active cell types involved in allergic reactions. Allergic individuals have a higher concentration of IgE antibodies in the blood than non-allergic. Normal serum IgE concentration in non-allergic patients is <0.35 kU / L. The aim of the study was to compare two immunochemical instruments, Siemens Immulite® 2000 XPi and Thermo Fisher Phadia® 250, by analyzing 50 serum samples to detect possible presence of IgE antibodies directed against an inhalation panel and a single allergen (IgE against birch). The study material consisted of 50 patients between the ages of 18-80, 17 men (34%) and 33 women (66%). The results showed that overall the two methods yielded consistent results due to positive and negative IgE values, but the measured values of the methods lacked concordance. The analysis results from the two methods generally yielded good correlation in the analysis of specific IgE against birch (R = 0.977) but a weaker correlation in the inhalation panel analysis (R = 0.609). Man-Whitney u-test showed a significant difference in IgE analysis against birch (p = 0.0006). However, a significant difference between the IgE values of the methods against the inhalation panels (p = 0.22398) was not observed. To be able to evaluate whether Phadia® 250 could be used as an alternative to the routine method, a larger population of samples and more analytical occasions is required.

Ma thèse constitue une étude de l'épiscopat byzantin à une période charnière de l'histoire de l'Empire. Les évolutions de l'épiscopat s'articulent autour de la conception de l'autorité des évêques, qu'ils fondent désormais davantage sur leur compétence intellectuelle. Le recrutement d'une partie importante de l'épiscopat parmi le clergé lettré de Constantinople modifie la représentation de leur autorité, qui ne repose pas exclusivement sur la grâce reçue lors de l'ordination et le pouvoir d'ordre. La formation poussée des évêques et les relations qu'ils maintiennent avec leurs amis intellectuels de la capitale ont des conséquences sur l'exercice de leur pouvoir dans leur diocèse. L'absentéisme des évêques étant limité, les prélats ont pris leur rôle au sérieux en dépit de l'opposition grandissante entre la capitale, dont ils sont issus, et les provinces, où ils officient. Les évêques ont mis en œuvre leur compétence intellectuelle, littéraire, théologique et juridique pour gouverner leurs fidèles, défendre les intérêts de leur diocèse et participer au synode permanent à Constantinople. Les liens avec l'aristocratie constantinopolitaines, matérialisés dans les correspondances, sont apparus cruciaux pour le bon exercice du gouvernement épiscopal. L'épiscopat ne résiste cependant pas à l'ensemble de ses contradictions, notamment celle entre les provinces et la capitale. Leur gouvernement est toujours susceptible d'être contesté aussi bien par les aristocrates, les moines ou les simples fidèles. / My dissertation studies the Byzantine episcopate at a crucial period in the history of the Empire. The evolutions of the episcopate revolve around the conception of the bishops' authority, which was based on their intellectual competence. The recruitment of a large part of the bishops among the literate clergy of Constantinople modifies the representation of their authority, which does not rest exclusively on the grace received during their chrismation and the power of order. The advanced intellectual training of the bishops and the relations they maintain with their friends living in the capital have consequences for the exercise of power in their diocese. The bishops' absenteeism being limited, the bishops took their role seriously in spite of the growing opposition between the capital from which they came and the provinces where they held their office. The bishops have implemented their intellectual, literary, theological and legal competence to govern their faithful, defend the interests of their diocese and participate in the pe1manent synod in Constantinople. The links with the Constantinopolitan aristocrats, materialized in the correspondences, appeared crucial for the good exercise of the episcopal government. The episcopate, however, does not resist ail its contradictions, especially that between the provinces and the capital. Their government is always liable to be contested by aristocrats, monks or lay people alike.

Disposed waste materials remained from demolished buildings have been an environmental problem especially for developing countries. Recycled Cement Concrete (RCC) is one of the abundant components of waste materials that include quality aggregates. Use of RCC in asphalt concrete pavements is economically a feasible option as it not only helps in recycling waste materials but also preserves natural resources by fulfilling the demand for quality aggregate in pavement constructions. However, due to variability in RCC characteristics, a detailed evaluation of its effect on asphalt concrete performance is required. In this study, effect of RCC content on rutting potential of asphalt concrete is investigated using laboratory prepared specimens. Rutting susceptibility of the specimens is determined using repeated creep tests performed in the uniaxial stress mode. Because of the aspect ratio requirements for the repeated creep test, the standard Marshall mix design procedures were modified based on the energy concept by changing the compactor device and the applied design number of blows. The modified specimens were tested to determine a number of parameters that can describe the rutting behavior of the tested mixes. The findings indicate that slope constant and flow number give relatively stronger relationships with rutting behavior as compared to the other rutting parameters. While increasing the RCC content yields improved rutting performance for coarse graded specimens, it dramatically reduces the performance for fine graded specimens.
