This diploma thesis deals with the processing of international trademark application under the Madrid Agreement and the Protocol to this Agreement. The aim of the work is to evaluate the functionality and benefits of the Madrid system on the basis of an analysis of the international filing procedure (i.e. through the Madrid system), supported by a comparison with national filing. The work responds to the question of whether the Madrid system fulfills its purpose, i.e. whether it simplifies registration of trademarks abroad, whether the international filing is financially advantageous and time-savings, and what other benefits it brings. On the other hand, the author seeks to identify and point out the disandvantages and potential pitfalls of the system. The work thus provides to potential applicants all the necessary information to determine whether to use the international way of trademark registration and what to do for a successful registration.

O presente trabalho objetiva elaboraruma edição de performance da Improvisação Coral sobre Victimae Paschali de Charles Tournemire, transcrita pelo seu aluno Maurice Duruflé. A edição de performance foi construída através da análise, escolha de registração e elaboração de exercícios técnicos para os trechos difíceis. O livro Guidelines to Style Analysis de Jan La Rue (1970) foi usado como ferramenta analítica, enfocando os cinco parâmetros fornecidos pelo autor: Som, Harmonia, Melodia, Ritmo e Crescimento. A escolha da registração foi delineada a partir de um estudo do órgão da Igreja Sainte Clotilde de Paris e do órgão da Capela São José do Centro Universitário La Salle (Unilasalle) em Canoas, RS (Brasil). Os exercícios técnicos para os trechos difíceis foram gerados a partir de passagens que apresentaram maior demanda durante meu estudo. Por fim, a edição de performance reúne essas informações junto à partitura de maneira sucinta como síntese do trabalho e da construção da minha performance da obra para recital. / The purpose of this study is to present a performance edition of the Choral Improvisation on Victimae Paschali by Charles Tournemire, transcribed by his pupil Maurice Duruflé. The performance edition was constructed based on analysis, choice of registration and the elaboration of technical exercises for the difficult passages. The book Guidelines to Style Analysis by Jan La Rue (1970) was used as an analytical tool, focusing on the five parameters presented by the author: Sound, Harmony, Melody, Rhythm and Growth. The choice of registration was decided based on a study of the organ at the Sainte Clotilde Church in Paris and the organ at St. Joseph´s Chapel of the La Salle University Center (Unilasalle) in Canoas, RS (Brazil). Technical exercises were generated from the passages that proved to be more demanding for me during my practice. Finally, the performance edition contains all of this information as a summary of my work and the preparation of the piece for performance.

Used long time, trademarks have fundamental paper to designate provenance of products or manufacturers, in addition to having vast importance in relations between companies and consumers because they act as a safety factor for both, facilitating the identification of products and companies. In Brazil, obtained regulation from the Decree 2682 of 1875, and are currently regulated by Law nº 9279 of May 14, 1996, his registration is held by the INPI, and comes to be considered the most important among the intellectual properties. The objectives of this study are to evaluate whether the companies from Sergipe promote the protection of their trademarks through registration and investigate the use of the registry gives satisfactorily or not, in order to perform a state panorama related to trademark registration for that is subsequently possible to trace actions and objectives to promote the culture of protection of trademarks. The sample searched was 761 companies from Sergipe, subdivided into 5 groups of classes of activities, named according to their relationship with their branches and denominated as follows: Construction, Foods, Confection and Graphic Services and the remaining are grouped in a class called Other Activities, with branches ratings less significant occurrences. Data were collected from consultations in the systems of Federal Revenue Department and the INPI, and data analysis was performed using a quantitative approach, showing that only 8.94% of the surveyed companies made filing applications for trademark registrations. Data were collected from consultations in the systems of Federal Revenue Department and the INPI, and data analysis was performed using a quantitative approach, showing that only 8.94% of the surveyed companies made filing applications for trademark registrations, where 31,97% are registered, the same 31.97% are filed or extinct and the others in progress. Also showing an average of 8.62 years for the application to be made by the companies, counted from the year they were open, the prevalence of applications of trademarks of products, the branch of Construction with the worst numbers among business segments and Individual Entrepreneurs with worse outcomes between the legal natures of the companies analyzed. / Utilizadas há muito tempo, as marcas possuem papel fundamental para designar procedência de produtos ou fabricantes, além de possuir vasta importância nas relações entre as empresas e os consumidores pois agem como um fator de segurança para ambos, facilitando a identificação dos atributos dos produtos e das empresas. No Brasil, obtiveram regulamentação a partir do Decreto nº 2.682, de 1875, e atualmente são regidas pela Lei nº 9.279, de 14 de maio de 1996, seu registro é realizado pelo INPI, e chega a ser considerada a mais importante entre as propriedades intelectuais. Os objetivos deste estudo são avaliar se as empresas sergipanas promovem a proteção de suas marcas através do registro, e investigar se a utilização do registro se dá de forma satisfatória ou não, no intuito de realizar um panorama estadual relacionado ao registro de marcas para que, posteriormente, seja possível traçar ações e objetivos para promover a cultura de proteção às marcas.

Os dados foram coletados a partir de consultas nos sistemas da Receita Federal e do INPI, e a análise dos dados foi realizada com abordagem quantitativa, demonstrando que apenas 8,94% das empresas pesquisadas realizaram pedido de registro de marca, estando 31,97% registrados, os mesmos 31,97% arquivados ou extintos e os demais em andamento. Evidenciando, ainda, uma média de 8,62 anos para o pedido de registro ser efetuado pelas empresas, contados do ano em que foram abertas, a prevalência de pedidos de registro de marcas de produtos, o ramo da Construção com os piores números entre os ramos de atividades e os Empresários Individuais com os piores resultados entre as naturezas jurídicas das empresas analisadas.

A presente Dissertação de Mestrado pretende avaliar a eficácia da proteção do patrimônio cultural imaterial no Brasil por meio do registro previsto no Decreto nº 3.551/2000, que regulamentou em parte o artigo 216 da Constituição Federal de 1988, e foi concedido pelo Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional (IPHAN). Para tanto, baseia-se em um estudo de caso envolvendo o gênero musical-coreográfico-poético e festivo denominado Fandango Caiçara, que é transmitido oralmente de geração a geração, no seio da comunidade tradicional caiçara localizada nos municípios de Iguape e Cananéia, no litoral sul do Estado de São Paulo, e nos municípios de Morretes, Paranaguá e Guaraqueçaba, no litoral norte do Estado do Paraná e cujo registro como Patrimônio Cultural do Brasil junto ao IPHAN ocorreu em 29 de novembro de 2012 no Livro das Formas de Expressão. Nossa análise também procura levar em consideração os aspectos socioambientais envolvidos, bem como os desafios que, em nossa opinião, devem ser enfrentados pela comunidade tradicional caiçara diante da obtenção do referido registro. / This Masters Dissertation intends to evaluate the effectiveness of the cultural heritage of immaterial natures protection in Brazil by means of the registration provided by Decree n. 3.551/2000, which was partially regulated by article 216 of the Federal Constitution of 1988 and was granted by the Institute of National Historical and Artistic Heritage (IPHAN). For that it is based on a case study involving the musical-choreographic-poetic and festive genre called Fandango Caiçara, which is orally transmitted from generation to generation within the caiçara traditional community located in the municipalities of Iguape and Cananéia, in the south coast of the State of São Paulo, and in the municipalities of Morretes, Paranaguá and Guaraqueçaba, in the north coast of the State of Paraná and whose registration as Cultural Heritage of Brazil before the IPHAN occured on November 29, 2012 in the Book of Forms of Expression. Our analysis also seeks to consider the socialenvironmental aspects involved as well as the challenges that, in our opinion, should be faced by the caiçara traditional community before the obtainment of said registration.

La numérisation 3D du patrimoine bâti est un procédé qui s’inscrit dans de multiples applications (documentation, visualisation, etc.), et peut tirer profit de la diversité des techniques de mesure disponibles. Afin d’améliorer la complétude et la qualité des livrables, de plus en plus de projets de numérisation s’appuient sur la combinaison de nuages de points provenant de différentes sources. La connaissance des performances propres aux différents capteurs, ainsi que de la qualité de leurs mesures, est alors souhaitable. Par la suite, plusieurs pistes peuvent être explorées en vue d’intégrer des nuages hétérogènes au sein d’un même projet, de leur recalage à la modélisation finale. Une approche pour le recalage simultané de plusieurs nuages de points est exposée dans ces travaux. La gestion de potentielles fautes parmi les observations, ou de bruit de mesure inhérent à certaines techniques de levé, est envisagée à travers l’ajout d’estimateurs robustes dans la méthodologie de recalage. / Three dimensional digitization of built heritage is involved in a wide range of applications (documentation, visualization, etc.), and may take advantage of the diversity of measurement techniques available. In order to improve the completeness as well as the quality of deliverables, more and more digitization projects rely on the combination of data coming from different sensors. To this end, the knowledge of sensor performances along with the quality of the measurements they produce is recommended. Then, different solutions can be investigated to integrate heterogeneous point clouds within a same project, from their registration to the modeling steps. A global approach for the simultaneous registration of multiple point clouds is proposed in this work, where the introduction of individual weights for each dataset is foreseen. Moreover, robust estimators are introduced in the registration framework, in order to deal with potential outliers or measurement noise among the data.

This thesis examines the policies and procedures created during and after the First World War that provided the foundation for how the United States commemorated its war dead for the next century. Many of the techniques used in modern times date back to the Great War. However, one hundred years earlier, America possessed very few methods or even ideas about how to locate, identify, repatriate, and honor its military personnel that died during foreign conflicts. These ideas were not conceived in the halls of government buildings. On the contrary, concerned citizens originated many of the concepts later codified by the American government. This paper draws extensively upon archival documents, newspapers, and published primary sources to trace the history of America’s burial and repatriation policies, the Army Graves Registration Services, and how American dead came to permanently rest in military cemeteries on the continent of Europe. The unprecedented dilemma of over 80,000 American soldiers buried in France and surrounding countries at the conclusion of the First World War in 1918 propelled the United States to solve many social, political, and military problems that arose over the final disposition of those remains. The solutions to those problems became the foundation for how America would repatriate, honor, and mourn its military dead for the next century. Some of these battles persist even today as the nation tries to grapple with the proper way to commemorate the nation’s participation in the First World War on the eve of the conflict’s centennial.

1 Název diplomové práce v anglickém jazyce, abstrakt v anglickém jazyce a tři klíčová slova v anglickém jazyce Legal aspects of New Religious Movements in the Czech Republic Abstract The main purpose of this master's thesis is a critical analysis of Czech legislation of New Religious Movements. This thesis should describe a legal relationship between New Religious Movements and Czech legal order. This thesis focuses on the topic while studying public and private law's aspects. It also focuses on sociological considerations. New Religious Movements are a necessary part of a religious development of every society. There is a lot of different religious movements. Therefore, it is especially challenging to make legislation related to them. The legislator should consider religion a private part of everyone's life. Act No. 3/2002 Coll., which is the most important piece of legislation for New Religious Movements, does not distinguish terminologically between New Religious Movements and the traditional churches. A long tradition in the Czech Republic and a lot of members have for example Seventh-day Adventist Church, Jehovah's Witnesses and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Being a member of a New Religious Movement can particularly affect man's life. Conflicts between New Religious Movements and...

Hit registration algorithms in First-Person Shooter games define how the server processes gunfire from clients. Network conditions, such as latency, cause a mismatch between the game worlds observed at the client and the server. To improve the experience for clients when authoritative servers are used, the server attempts to reconcile the differing views when performing hit registration through techniques known as lag compensation. This thesis surveys recent hit registration techniques and discusses how they can be implemented and evaluated with the use of a modern game engine. To this end, a lag compensation model based on animation pose rewind is implemented in Unreal Engine 4. Several programming models described in industry and research are used in the implementation, and experiences from further integrating the techniques into a commercial FPS project are also discussed. To reason about the accuracy of the algorithm, client-server discrepancy metrics are defined, as well as a hit rate metric which expresses the worst-case effect on the shooting experience of a player. Through automated tests, these metrics are used to evaluate the hit registration accuracy. The rewind algorithm was found to make the body-part-specific hit registration function well independently of latency. At high latencies, the rewind algorithm is completely necessary to make sure that clients can still aim at where they perceive their targets to be and expect their hits to be registered. Still, inconsistencies in the results remain, with hit rate values sometimes falling below 50%. This is theorized to be due to fundamental networking mechanisms of the game engine which are difficult to control. This presents a counterpoint to the otherwisegained ease of implementation when using Unreal Engine.

Recent developments in the computer vision field achieve state-of-the-art performance by utilizing large-scale training datasets and in the absence of that, generating synthetic datasets of said magnitude. Yet, for certain applications, it is not feasible to synthesize high fidelity training data (e.g., biomedical computer vision domain), or to achieve detailed explainability for the program's decisions. Formulating a part-based approach can help alleviate the aforementioned challenges as (i) a scene can naturally be decomposed into a hierarchical part-based structure, and (ii) using domain knowledge by incorporating the object parts' topological and geometrical constraints reduces the complexity of learning and inference, benefiting methods in terms of data efficiency and computational resources. This dissertation investigates multiple applications that benefit from a part-based solution regarding the applications' performance metrics and/or computational efficiency. We develop part-based methods for registration, segmentation, unsupervised object discovery in large-scale image collections, and unsupervised unknown foreground discovery in streaming scenarios.
