The objective of the thesis Analysis of factors affecting real estate prices is to analyze selected aspects that somehow affects the price of real estate. The aim is to compare the impact of these factors on the market price of the selected type of property. The first part of the thesis defines theoretical bases and terms that relate to the real estate market. Furthermore, there are described the subjects of the real estate market and factors that influence the market and real estate prices. The most frequently used methods of real estate valuation are also described in the theoretical part. The practical part deals with the analysis of selected factors that affect the market price of the property. The analysis compares the prices of apartments in the three regional cities of the Czech Republic and then examines the differences in the average prices of these apartments and the degree of influence of selected factors causing differences in the prices.

This master's thesis deals with the development of the application for automatic price comparison of goods. The application works on the principle that the user enters inputs as a list of products and output is a list of offers from monitored dealers for all entered products. There is possibility for the user to create his individual settings for each website or use searching on existing comparison shopping website. Target group of users are dealers, distributors and manufacturers who use the data for monitoring competitors and changes in market prices.

The thesis analyzes the accuracy of the multi-step inflation forecast using se-lected methods of machine learning through inflationary factors in the Visegrad group countries. The methods that were applied in the work analysis are the re-gression of tree methods and the algorithm method to the k-nearest neighbors. Based on the regression tree method, we are able to identify factors that are most prominent in price level development. The output of the analysis consists of 8 models, the suitability and accuracy of which are discussed. The results of the em-pirical analysis are compared with the assumptions that were presented before the analysis has begun. This suggests that methods are not suitable for multi-step inflation prediction.

This diploma thesis is focused on a comparison of construction cost of the house made of classic materials with the equivalent made of natural building materials and consequently on comparison of both construction variants. In order to perform those tasks, the used natural building materials were defined. Furthermore, the specific options of usage of these natural building materials as well as the used composition structures were introduced. The thesis concludes with a price calculation of the constructions made of natural building materials which were not available in the common budgetary software. The appendix of the thesis contains budgets for the first variant, where the house is made of natural building materials, and also for the second variant, where the house is made of classic materials.

Hereby presented Master Thesis deals with an analysis of preparedness of the Russian monetary policy for adoption of inflation-targeting regime. We define the impact of different factors on the level of inflation and consequently their importance in the process of predicting inflation in the period from January 2006 to September 2012 in the Russian Federation. The selection of the factors is based on theory and on the examination of the Russian monetary policy environment, taking into account the credibility, transparency and accountability of the monetary institutions and the financial sector and real economy specifications. The analysis of interconnections among the factors is based on a vector autoregressive regression model VAR(4) as well as on Granger causality test and impulse-response analysis. Our results indicate that the major role in inflation formation among the chosen variables, the exchange rate prevailed in the observed period and the interest rate gained in importance to certain extent. Thus the Russian Central Bank has proceeded to prepare the monetary policy rule for the adoption of inflation-targeting regime. Nevertheless, building more sound monetary and financial institutions, successful implementation of flexible exchange rate and abandoning exchange rate targeting, as...

In the establishment of monitoring strategies also interferes cognitive nature factors that influence both the finding of the change and in order to internalize it. Thus, in order to contribute with studying of the internalization process of outward changes in organization, the current work began identifying the state of the art in monitoring, scenario scanning, simulation and subjectivity, then obtain the theoretical approach in which to propose a method of internalizing more dynamic and less subjective changes that used qualitative modeling in building scenarios with simulation, with support of software tool. Case study was the modality chosen to propose a method to support the internalization of external changes. The variables were extracted from the prospective study of Public Security of IPEA published in 2015, for generation of qualitative models and scenarios that were simulated. Data collection was conducted through questionnaire and workshop. As a result, the proposed method has shown useful for strategic management professionals (i) check consistency of scenarios and coherence of models of entity relationships; (ii) in presentation of alternative behaviors; (iii) in analysis of how cognitive biases interfere with the strategic reviews; (iv) and in organizational learning. / Diante das incertezas, da complexidade e da din??mica dos ambientes onde est??o inseridas, as organiza????es almejam compreender os impactos de mudan??as econ??micas, sociais, pol??ticas e tecnol??gicas por meio do monitoramento externo e da internaliza????o dos efeitos dessas mudan??as. No estabelecimento de estrat??gias de monitoramento de mudan??as externas interferem, ainda, fatores de natureza cognitiva, que influem tanto na constata????o da mudan??a como no modo de internaliz??-la. Destarte, a fim de contribuir com o estudo do processo de internaliza????o das mudan??as externas das organiza????es, o presente trabalho iniciou-se identificando o estado da arte de mecanismos de monitoramento, cenariza????o, simula????o e subjetividade, para, em seguida, buscar o arcabou??o te??rico necess??rio para propor um m??todo de internaliza????o de mudan??as mais din??mico e menos subjetivo que, por fim, utilizou modelagem qualitativa na constru????o de cen??rios e simula????o, com suporte de uma ferramenta de software.

Part of this increase refers to the current trend of having bigger, more interactive and replayable environments. This trend translates to an increase in both team size and development time, which makes game development a even more risky investment and may reduce innovation in the area. As a possible solution to this problem, the scientific community is focusing on the generation of procedural content and, more specifically, on procedurally generated levels. Given the great diversity and complexity of games, most works choose to deal with a specific genre, platform games being one of the most studied. This work aims at proposing a procedural level generation method for platform/adventure games, a fairly more complex genre than most classic platformers which so far has not been the subject of study from other works. The level generation process was divided in two steps, planning and viusal generation, respectively responsible for generating a compact representation of the level and determining its view. The planning stage was divided in game design and level design, and uses a goaloriented process to output a set of rooms. The visual generation step receives a set of rooms and fills its interior with the appropriate parts of previously authored geometry / Recentemente a ind?stria de jogos vem experimentando um aumento consistente nos custos de produ??o de jogos. Parte deste aumento ? referente ? tend?ncia atual de se ter ambientes cada vez maiores, mais interativos e rejog?veis. Esta tend?ncia se reflete num aumento das equipes e do tempo de desenvolvimento, o que torna o desenvolvimento de jogos um investimento de risco e pode reduzir a inova??o na ?rea. Como uma poss?vel solu??o para este problema, a comunidade cient?fica vem apostando na gera??o procedural de conte?do e, mais especificamente, na gera??o procedural de cen?rios. Dada a grande diversidade e complexidade dos jogos, a maioria dos trabalhos opta por trabalhar em g?neros espec?ficos, sendo os jogos de plataforma um dos g?neros mais estudados. Este trabalho prop?e um m?todo de gera??o de cen?rios para jogos de plataforma/ aventura, um g?nero mais complexo que jogos de plataforma cl?ssicos e que at? o momento n?o foi alvo de estudo de outros trabalhos. Dividimos a gera??o de cen?rios em etapas de planejamento e gera??o visual, respons?veis respectivamente por gerar proceduralmente uma representa??o compacta de cen?rio e determinar sua visualiza??o. A etapa de planejamento se divide em game design e level design, e se utiliza de um processo orientado a objetivos para produzir como sa?da um conjunto de salas. A etapa de gera??o visual recebe um conjunto de salas e preenche seus interiores com partes adequadas de geometria previamente constru?das

Due mainly to its biodiversity which falls in the group of global hotspots, i.e., areas that have high priority for conservation. Although currently there are some available devices that assist in their protection in the course of the history of occupation and exploitation of the Brazilian territory, this biome has gone, and is still going through, an intense process of devastation, caused mainly by the pressure from economic activities, culminating in a significant reduction of its area and consequent fragmentation of the landscape, which brings with hosts a series of problems at various scales and aspects. As in most municipalities included in the reach area of the biome, the situation of forest fragmentation in Tibau do Sul / RN is quite critical, reflecting on a truly diverse landscape with broad typology of land uses. Among the alternatives aimed at the conservation of this biome include the creation of protected areas and the creation of ecological corridors, the latter being more efficient by connecting the remaining forests, increasing landscape connectivity, providing significant gains in relation to biodiversity. However, a major problem on implementation of Ecological Corridors projects is related to the selection of areas for this purpose, in this sense Geography can provide important contributions through the integrated study of landscape in the light of the geosystemic approach and the use of Geographical Information System (GIS) in order to permit assessment of reality having as a base the integration of ecological, biological and man-made aspects. Thus, this research aims to indicate potential areas and propose scenarios delimitation of Ecological Corridors in the municipality of Tibau do Sul / RN through Geographic Inference techniques in GIS platform. Therefore, the methodology adopted is based on the Geosystemic approach. From these elements were created 4 models to indicate potential areas for implementation of Ecological Corridors from the environmental perspective (potential erosion), socioeconomic (cover and land prices), legislative (areas protected by environmental legislation) and integrated (combination of environmental factors, socioeconomic and legislative), which in turn served as a basis for proposing scenarios aimed at this purpose. The results showed that all models can be quite useful in indicating potential areas for the establishment of ecological corridors, especially when based on an integrated approach between environmental and anthropogenic. The Corridors delimitation proposes shown may perform duties beyond the establishment of connectivity between fragments, since they also may have usefulness in controlling erosion and protecting fragile environments. Among the models developed, the integrated constituted itself as the best option because it enabled the interconnection of a larger number of fragments from a better use of the potentialities present in the landscape / O bioma Mata Atl?ntica ocupa grande parte da costa Atl?ntica brasileira, al?m de por??es do Paraguai e da Argentina. Em raz?o, sobretudo, de sua biodiversidade enquadra-se no grupo dos hotspots mundiais, ou seja, ?reas que apresentam extrema prioridade de conserva??o. Embora atualmente estejam dispon?veis alguns dispositivos que auxiliam na sua prote??o, no decorrer da hist?ria da ocupa??o e explora??o do territ?rio brasileiro, esse bioma passou, e ainda passa, por um intenso processo de devasta??o, provocado, sobretudo pela press?o exercida pelas atividades econ?micas, culminando em uma relevante redu??o de sua ?rea e em uma consequente fragmenta??o da paisagem, o que traz consigo uma s?rie de problemas em diversas escalas e aspectos. Assim como em grande parte dos munic?pios inclu?dos na ?rea de abrang?ncia do bioma, a situa??o de fragmenta??o florestal em Tibau do Sul/RN ? bastante cr?tica, refletindo assim em uma paisagem deveras diversificada com ampla tipologia de usos do solo. Dentre as alternativas que visam ? conserva??o do referido bioma destacam-se a cria??o de Unidades de Conserva??o e a cria??o de Corredores Ecol?gicos, sendo essa ?ltima mais eficiente por conectar os remanescentes florestais, aumentando a conectividade da paisagem, fornecendo ganhos significativos em rela??o ? biodiversidade. No entanto, uma das principais problem?ticas em projetos de implementa??o de Corredores Ecol?gicos est? relacionada com a sele??o de ?reas para tal fim, neste sentido a Geografia pode fornecer importantes contribui??es, atrav?s dos estudos integrados da paisagem ? luz da abordagem geossist?mica e do uso dos Sistemas de Informa??o Geogr?fica (SIG), atrav?s de t?cnicas de Infer?ncia Geogr?fica, de modo a permitir uma aprecia??o da realidade tomando por base a integra??o dos aspectos ecol?gicos, biol?gicos e antr?picos. Assim sendo, a presente pesquisa tem como objetivo indicar ?reas potenciais e propor cen?rios de delimita??o de Corredores Ecol?gicos no munic?pio de Tibau do Sul/RN, atrav?s de t?cnicas de Infer?ncia Geogr?fica em plataforma SIG. Para tanto, a metodologia adotada est? fundamentada na abordagem Geossist?mica. A partir desses elementos, foram criados 4 modelos para indica??o de ?reas potenciais par a implanta??o de Corredores Ecol?gicos a partir das perspectivas ambiental (potencial ? eros?o), socioecon?mica (cobertura e pre?o da terra), legislativa (?reas protegidas pela legisla??o ambiental) e integrada (combina??o de elementos ambientais, socioecon?micos e legislativos), que por sua vez serviram de base para a proposi??o de cen?rios voltados a essa finalidade. Os resultados mostraram que todos os modelos podem ser bastante ?teis na indica??o de ?reas potenciais para o estabelecimento de Corredores Ecol?gicos, sobretudo quando fundamentados em uma perspectiva integrada entre aspectos ambientais e antr?picos. As propostas de delimita??o de Corredores apresentadas podem exercer fun??es al?m do estabelecimento da conectividade entre fragmentos, pois as mesmas podem ter serventia tamb?m no controle de processos erosivos e prote??o de ambientes fr?geis
