Traditional dwellings are one of the most important elements of Turkey&rsquo / s cultural heritage, which constitute a large part of the total quantity of all our traditional buildings. These buildings also have an important economic value due to their forming a huge part of the housing stock of Turkey. However these buildings disappear rapidly, because of many reasons. Besides several external factors, which cause their loss indirectly, such as pressure of the urbanization, the lack or defects of the legal arrangements, shortage in the financial sources&hellip / etc, they also have internal problems such as, structural, functional and environmental ones which lead their users to abandon them, similarly resulting in their deterioration and loss in the long term. Inadequacy of the service units in traditional dwellings are one of the most important problems belonging to the category of functional problems. They will be abandoned or physically altered by unconscious interventions as long as the needs related to the service functions are not met. Because the original service units of the traditional dwellings, especially the ones called &lsquo / wet spaces&rsquo / in today&rsquo / s contemporary houses do not respond to our needs, and are under the requested modern living standards. The change of the traditional way of life parallel to technological developments has resulted in the change in uses within the house and changes in needs and habits of the people. Therefore, the major objective of this study was to make the necessary rehabilitations related to the service needs in terms of adapting the traditional dwellings to contemporary residential use. It was assumed that this study would offer guidelines to eliminate similar types of problems related to the service needs of all the traditional dwellings in Fo&ccedil / a. In this direction, the architecture of the traditional Fo&ccedil / a dwellings with special interest in their service spaces were researched in the site survey. Besides their original architectural characteristics, their physical alteration status regarding to their needs, their problems and desires of their users were determined both with physical analyses and social questionnaires. All the interventions were assessed by taking into consideration both their conservation and physical needs of their inhabitants. In the proposal phase of the study, the spatial potentials and carrying capacities of the dwellings were determined while also considering the preservation of their values. The dwellings were grouped after this assessment according to their spatial potentials and problems. The appropriate types of interventions, aimed at meeting the minimum requirements, sometimes realized by rehabilitation of an existent space and in other cases by the addition of a new space were revealed according to the needs and problems of the dwellings. Finally, the principle decisions for the interventions were proposed by considering the necessary balance between usage and preservation in each proposal.

Steponas Darius ir Stasys Girėnas Lietuvoje yra priskiriami tautos herojų kategorijai. Pagrindu tam tapo vienas jų gyvenimo faktas – 1933 m. jie sėkmingai perskrido Atlanto vandenyną, tačiau nepasiekę Lietuvos tragiškai žuvo tuometinėje Vokietijos teritorijoje. Nuo tada buvo stengiamasi kuo akivaizdžiau įprasminti šį įvykį ir herojų asmenybes. Šiandieną, žvelgdami iš laiko perspektyvos, šį reiškinį drąsiai galime įvardinti asmenybių kultu. Šiame tyrime kulto sąvoka traktuojama kaip perdėtas ko nors garbinimas, idealizavimas arba kam nors reiškiama didžiulė pagarba. Nacionalistine ideologija grįstose visuomenėse asmenų ar įvykių kultai atsiranda, ieškant tautinio idealo ir tuo pačiu siekiant formuoti (konstruoti) visuomenę. Istorinių asmenybių realūs ir „suklastoti” bruožai tampa medžiaga tautinio įvaizdžio kūrimui ir turi atlikti tam tikras socialines funkcijas – sutelkti, sustiprinti tautą, suteikti jėgų kovoti negandų laikotarpiais ir siekti didybės sėkmės laikais. Darbe analizuojamos kulto ištakos, aktyvumas ir raida. Identifikuojamos kulto socialinės funkcijos bei materialiosios ir nematerialiosios kulto išraiškos. Pastarosios analizuojamos semantiniu aspektu. Išanalizavus šaltinius ir literatūrą galima teigti, kad S. Dariaus ir S. Girėno kultas pradėtas kurti iškart po lakūnų žūties. Didžiausias kulto aktyvumas ir puoselėjimas pastebimas tarpukario metais ir po 1990 m. Sovietinės okupacijos metais minėti asmenys vertinti nevienareikšmiškai. Pirmaisiais pokario...

The basis for that was one fact from their life – in 1933 they flew the Atlantic; however they perished tragically without reaching Lithuania in the then territory of Germany. Since then, it has been striven to give a sense to this event and the personalities of the heroes as obviously as possible. Today, looking from the perspective of time, we may bravely identify the cult of personalities. In the present research, the concept of cult is treated as the exaggerated worship of somebody, idealisation or as huge respect expressed to somebody. In the societies based on nationalistic ideology, the cults of persons or events appear seeking for the national ideal and herewith striving to form (construct) the society. Real and ”fake” features of historical personalities become a material for creation of the national image and must perform some particular social functions – to concentrate, consolidate the nation, give it strengths to fight in the periods of hardship and pursue for majesty in the times of success. In the paper, there analysed the sources of a cult, its activeness and development. The social functions of the cult as well as its tangible and intangible expressions are identified. The latter are analysed in the semantic aspect. Having analysed the sources and literature, it is possible to state that the cult of S. Darius and S. Girėnas was started immediately after their death. The... [to full text]

Diversos estudos mostram que a escola seria um dos locais privilegiados para que ocorra a detecção e intervenção em casos de violência sexual, levando em consideração o extenso período de tempo em crianças e adolescentes passam nessa instituição. Sabemos que os profissionais da escola tem o dever legal e .ético em notificar às autoridades competentes casos suspeitos ou confirmados de abuso e exploração sexual. Entretanto, as escolas e os professores aparecem em números reduzidos enquanto agentes denunciantes e uma das explicações para esta baixa taxa de denúncias seria a falta de formação sobre o tema durante a formação inicial de educadores. Sendo a violência sexual infanto-juvenil um tema que é alvo de discussão por diversos segmentos sociais, que tem como objetivo comum a proteção dessa população, voltamos nossas preocupações para o universo de informações que possíveis futuros professores tem acerca da referida temática. A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo verificar o conhecimento de alunos dos penúltimos anos dos cursos de licenciatura da FCT/ UNESP sobre o tema violência sexual contra crianças e adolescentes e aplicar um programa de intervenção junto aos licenciandos, visando uma formação profissional sobre a temática, cujos conhecimentos foram avaliados anterior e posteriormente à capacitação... / This study is connected to the research line “Formative processes, differences and values” at the Graduate Studies in Education at UNESP, Campus of Presidente Prudente. Many researches has shown that schools are the best place for detecting and intervention in cases of sexual violence, taking into account the extended period of time children and youth spend in such an institution. However, the school professionals are the less group of people that use to report cases of sexual abuse and exploitation and it happens due the lack of information they have about this issue, since they have no discussion about it in the undergraduate studies. Sexual violence has been a very important issue for many group of professionals, concerned with the prevention of this phenomenon, so our interest is to identify the level of information of future teachers about this issue. This research aimed to: verify the knowledge of penultimate year students of undergraduate studies in courses of teacher training at UNESP, Campus of Presidente Prudente about sexual violence and to carry out with them an intervention program aiming to a professional training in regard sexual violence. The students’ knowledge was evaluated through the use of pre and post test. The research was divided into two phases. In the first one... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

To check the hypothesis and problems of the theme of this research two works presented by Brazilian groups that have as base for their dramaturgy the monologues written by the Italian actor and dramaturg Dario Fo were analyzed: A descoberta das Américas, presented by Julio Adrião, directed by Alessandra Vannucci and produced by the production team Leões de Circo Pequenos empreendimentos from Rio de Janeiro and Il Primo Miracolo, presented and directed by Roberto Birindelli, of the Cia do Bebê from Porto Alegre. The research focuses on the analysis of some elements that constitute gestural score of these spectacles and their relation to the text, such as: repetition, fragmentation, breaks, description, sense creation, textual embodiment and its intertextual relations / Esta pesquisa investiga em que dimensão a formalização de procedimentos provenientes do teatro-solo de linha física, no qual a cena é determinante do texto falado, oferece caminhos concretos para um problema específico da arte teatral: a relação gestualidade - palavra. Para a verificação das hipóteses e problematização do tema desta pesquisa, foram analisados dois trabalhos apresentados por grupos brasileiros que possuem como base para sua dramaturgia os monólogos escritos pelo ator e dramaturgo italiano Dario Fo: A descoberta das Américas, representado por Julio Adrião, dirigido por Alessandra Vannucci e produzido pelo Núcleo de Produção Leões de Circo Pequenos Empreendimentos do Rio de Janeiro, e Il Primo Miracolo, representado e dirigido por Roberto Birindelli, da Cia do Bebê de Porto Alegre. A pesquisa está centrada na análise de alguns elementos que constituem as partituras gestuais destes espetáculos e sua relação com o texto, tais como: repetição, fragmentação, quebras, descrição, criação de sentido, corporificação do texto e suas relações intertextuais

A relação entre o Grau de Internacionalização (GI) e o desempenho das empresas multinacionais (EMNs) tem sido amplamente estudada na literatura de negócios internacionais. Entretanto, a maior parte dos estudos é realizada com empresas dos países desenvolvidos. De modo a contribuir com o desenvolvimento da teoria de internacionalização-desempenho, o presente estudo analisou essa relação no universo das EMNs de economias em desenvolvimento: Brasil, Rússia, Índia, China e África do Sul (BRICS). O principal objetivo do trabalho foi analisar se a estratégia de expansão internacional dessas EMNs está sendo traduzida em forma de eficiência e eficácia na gestão do negócio da empresa. O modelo hipotético do trabalho considera duas variáveis moderadoras da relação internacionalizaçãodesempenho: (1) Folga Organizacional (FO); e (2) Intensidade de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento (IP&D). A amostra do estudo corresponde a 219 EMNs dos países integrantes dos BRICS, sendo que as informações levantadas referem-se a um período de 9 anos (2002-2010), totalizando 834 pares de observações para cada variável presente no modelo. Os dados foram obtidos junto a duas fontes: (1) Compustat Data; e (2) Thomson One. Após análises de regressão múltipla, utilizando o método dos Mínimos Quadrados Ordinários (MQO), verificou-se uma relação não linear quadrática em forma de \"U\" entre o grau de internacionalização e o desempenho das EMNs dos países integrantes dos BRICS. Adicionalmente, os resultados mostram um positivo e significante efeito moderador da FO sobre a relação internacionalização-desempenho, entretanto, o mesmo não se verificou para a IP&D. Duas importantes implicações deste estudo para os gestores de negócios internacionais nas regiões dos BRICS é que: (1) os benefícios da expansão internacional não surgem de uma hora pra outra, mas exigem paciência para serem alcançados; (2) os gestores devem enxergar a FO como uma ferramenta estratégica de atuação no contexto internacional. Com base nos resultados encontrados, implicações e indicações para futuras pesquisas são fornecidas. / The relationship between the degree of internationalization and performance of multinational companies (MNCs) has been widely studied in the literature of international business. However, most studies are conducted with companies from developed countries. In order to contribute to the development of the theory of internationalization-performance, this study examined this relationship in the universe of MNCs in developing economies: Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS). The main objective of this study was to analyze the strategy of international expansion of these MNCs is being translated in the form of efficiency and effectiveness in managing the company\'s business. The hypothetical model of the work considers two moderating variables of internationalization-performance relationship: (1) Organizational Slack (OS); and (2) Research and Development Intensity (R&DI). Sample corresponds 219 MNCs from BRICS countries, and collected data refers to 2002-2010 period, totaling 834 pairs of observations for each variable in the model. Data were obtained from two sources: (1) Compustat Data; and (2) Thomson One. Multiple regression analysis, using Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method, showed a U-Shaped curvilinear relationship between the degree of internationalization and performance in MNCs from BRICS countries. Additionally, results show a positive and significant moderating effect of FO on internationalization-performance relationship, however, the same was not true for R&DI. Two important implications of this study for managers of international business in the regions of the BRICS is that: (1) the benefits from international expansion require patience to achieve; and (2) managers must see FO as strategic tool for performance in an international context. Based on the findings, implications and directions for future research are provided.

To take advantage of the high speed in an optic fiber, one of the basic concept in fiber optic communication is to allow several users to simultaneously transmit data over the channel. One technique that provides multiple access is it fiber optic-code division multiple access (FO-CDMA). In FO-CDMA each user is assigned one or more signature sequences called codewords, which are subsets of a type of optical orthogonal code (OOC). The channel input/output consists of the superposition of several users codewords and at the receiver end an optical correlator extracts the information. In the parallel code constructions, presented in this report, each user j is assigned a subset Cj from a code C. The subsets are disjoint and their union is the whole set C. A new way to map the information bits is to insert up to L zeros before each codeword from Cj and let this represent information aswell. This gives high rates for active users but an investigation is needed to ensure that this does not compromise the systems wanted property of sending information with a small probability of errors for all users. Therefore a simulation environment has been implemented in Matlab. The result from these simulations shows that BER for the L parallel codes is acceptable and not much higher than for the traditional constructions. Because of the higher rate these construction should be preferred but an analysis if a hardware implementation is possible.

This Master Thesis analyses activities of the agency CzechTrade on Vietnamese market. Viet Nam is one of the perspective market for czech exporters not only for very well established business between Czech Republic and Viet Nam but also for a high growth potential of Vietnamese market. In today's globalised world, the institutional assistance and promotion is essential for foreign trade especially in a relative small economies. Countries today do not increase wealth only through trade but promote themselves as a brand, this subconsciously adds value to domestic enterprises and products. CzechTrade agency, as the implementation authority of Export Strategy, actively supports czech producers in foreign markets and help them compete internationally.
