These plays, Lady Windermere’s Fan, A woman of No Importance and An Ideal Husband, are all comedies of manners: intelligent dramatic comedies satirising contemporary fashionable circles of society and its manners, as well as social expectations. This type of comedy is often represented by stereotypical characters, such as the fallen woman, the good woman and the young innocent maiden, all three of which I will investigate in this essay. oscar wilde wilde comedies of manners victorian England society Victorian Society patriarchy feminism A Woman of No Importance An Ideal Husband Lady Windermere's Fan Rita Felski Felski patriarchal society transgressing gender boundaries gender boundaries fallen woman fallen women good women good woman stereotypes theatre play plays comedies Oscar Wilde feminism Oscar Wilde plays Specific Literatures Litteraturstudier Specific Languages Studier av enskilda språk

Earlier work implemented, in the software NONMEM, a rational method for optimizing design and individualization of pediatric anti-TB FDC formulations based on patient body weight, but issues with parameter estimation, dosage strata heterogeneity and representative pharmacokinetics remained. Aim: To further develop the rational model-based methodology aiding the selection of appropriate FDC formulation designs and dosage regimens, in pediatric TB treatment. Materials and Methods: Optimization of the method with respect to the estimation of body weight breakpoints was sought. Heterogeneity of dosage groups with respect to treatment efficiency was sought to be improved. Recently published pediatric pharmacokinetic parameters were implemented and the model translated to MATLAB, where also the performance was evaluated by stochastic estimation and graphical visualization. Results: A logistic function was found better suited as an approximation of breakpoints. None of the estimation methods implemented in NONMEM were more suitable than the originally used FO method. Homogenization of dosage group treatment efficiency could not be solved. MATLAB translation was successful but required stochastic estimations and highlighted high densities of local minima. Representative pharmacokinetics were successfully implemented. Conclusions: NONMEM was found suboptimal for the task due to problems with discontinuities and heterogeneity, but a stepwise method with representative pharmacokinetics were successfully implemented. MATLAB showed more promise in the search for a method also addressing the heterogeneity issue. pharmacometrics pharmacokinetics PK population pharmacokinetics optimal design FDC fixed-dose combination pediatrics tuberculosis rifampicin pyrazinamide isoniazid ethambutol modeling simulation estimation allometric scaling stochastical simulation and estimation NONMEM MATLAB FO FOCE Expectation-Maximization algorithm importance sampling Nelder-Mead method logistic function discontinuity euclidean distance Sammon mapping global minimum local minima Pharmaceutical Sciences Farmaceutiska vetenskaper Bioinformatics (Computational Biology) Bioinformatik (beräkningsbiologi)

The thesis is divided into five chapters. The first one explains the terms of human resources and human capital and characterize the concept of personnel work. There is also derived from knowledge of organizational structures how important human resources are for organizations. The second chapter is about adult education. This chapter consists of learning process characterization and determination of position of corporate learning and development in the educational system. The third chapter deals with the corporate training and development. There are mentioned personnel planning, recruitment and selection of new workers because these come before training and development of human resources. The fourth chapter focuses on the company Česká pojišťovna and its human resources department. The fifth chapter discusses the program for university graduates ČP Naděje. This chapter describes the form and development of the program. There are discussed the results of questionnaire survey performed among the program participants. The final chapter includes also comparison of the program ČP Naděje with program for graduates organized by competing company.

The first three articles investigate various types of outcome uncertainty and how they relate to match attendance demand, while the remaining two articles test the efficiency of sports betting markets. The first article presents a new method of calculating match importance. Unlike the previous approaches in the literature, it does not require ex-post information and can be used for any type of season outcome. The second article shows that the additional playoff stage in the Czech ice hockey "Extraliga" lowers the probability of the strongest team becoming a champion and thus increases seasonal uncertainty. The third article demonstrates that the inconsistent findings in the literature about the link between match uncertainty and attendance could be explained by wrongly specified regressions, proposes a new approach to analyzing the effect of match uncertainty and shows that attendance demand is maximized if teams of the same quality play against each other. The fourth article examines the favorite-longshot bias in the context of betting on tennis matches. It shows that the favorite-longshot bias pattern is consistent with bookmakers protecting themselves against both better informed insiders and the general public exploiting new information. The fifth article investigates the supposedly profitable strategy of betting on soccer draws using the Fibonacci sequence. The strategy is tested both in a simulated market and on a real data set and found to lose money.

Cette méthode de dimensionnement probabiliste vise à prendre en compte les incertitudes inhérentes au système à concevoir, en vue de proposer des solutions optimales et sûres. Le niveau de sûreté est quantifié par une probabilité de défaillance. Le problème d’optimisation consiste alors à s’assurer que cette probabilité reste inférieure à un seuil fixé par les donneurs d’ordres. La résolution de ce problème nécessite un grand nombre d’appels à la fonction d’état-limite caractérisant le problème de fiabilité sous-jacent. Ainsi,cette méthodologie devient complexe à appliquer dès lors que le dimensionnement s’appuie sur un modèle numérique coûteux à évaluer (e.g. un modèle aux éléments finis). Dans ce contexte, ce manuscrit propose une stratégie basée sur la substitution adaptative de la fonction d’état-limite par un méta-modèle par Krigeage. On s’est particulièrement employé à quantifier, réduire et finalement éliminer l’erreur commise par l’utilisation de ce méta-modèle en lieu et place du modèle original. La méthodologie proposée est appliquée au dimensionnement des coques géométriquement imparfaites soumises au flambement. / This thesis is a contribution to the resolution of the reliability-based design optimization problem. This probabilistic design approach is aimed at considering the uncertainty attached to the system of interest in order to provide optimal and safe solutions. The safety level is quantified in the form of a probability of failure. Then, the optimization problem consists in ensuring that this failure probability remains less than a threshold specified by the stakeholders. The resolution of this problem requires a high number of calls to the limit-state design function underlying the reliability analysis. Hence it becomes cumbersome when the limit-state function involves an expensive-to-evaluate numerical model (e.g. a finite element model). In this context, this manuscript proposes a surrogate-based strategy where the limit-state function is progressively replaced by a Kriging meta-model. A special interest has been given to quantifying, reducing and eventually eliminating the error introduced by the use of this meta-model instead of the original model. The proposed methodology is applied to the design of geometrically imperfect shells prone to buckling.
