Cette thèse propose d’étudier l’entre-deux du rêve et de la veille sous un angle cosmologique. Notre hypothèse est que chacun des textes du corpus véhicule une vision particulière du monde médiée par un plan interstitiel à travers lequel les protagonistes négocient leur identité ainsi que leur rapport au monde, notamment en contexte d’apocalypse culturelle. Dans le chapitre zéro, nous inscrivons notre propos dans le champ discursif contemporain s’attelant à réévaluer le concept de « grand partage » sur lequel se base l’ontologie moderne (Descola, Latour, Morin). Cette déconstruction nous amène à considérer le rapport de médiation que rêve et réel peuvent entretenir dans un contexte de crise de l’imagination (Augé), de sorte à interroger le type de réel porteur d’avenir que cette logique dialectique (Benjamin) permet d’envisager. À l’aune de ce dispositif épistémologique, le premier chapitre s'intéresse au roman La Chouette aveugle (Bouf-e-kour) de l’Iranien Sadegh Hedayat (1936). À travers l’entre-deux du rêve et de la veille, transparaît l’effondrement de la cosmologie perse antique, qu’un ange-femme signifie au narrateur en ve-nant mourir dans son lit ; l’analyse herméneutique et sémantique du texte révèle le basculement d’une vision du monde prémoderne, basée sur le déchiffrement du Réel imaginal par l’« angélophanie » (Corbin), à une perspective spectrale soumettant le présent à l’intempestivité d’une origine irrévocablement morte (Derrida). Dans le second chapitre, l’analyse de Poussière d’or (al-Tibr) du Touareg Ibrahim al-Koni (1990) fait apparaître l’entre-deux comme le socle d’une structure cosmique où les êtres s’opposent et se complètent entre visible et invisible (Claudot-Hawad) ; à travers la descente aux enfers que vit le protagoniste entre rêve et veille, l’étude cosmologique dévoile toute une écologie qui étend le territoire de l’humain à travers celui de l’esprit et de l’animal, de sorte à le faire accéder à « l’unité de l’existence » dont le désert est l’équation. Le troisième et dernier chapitre se consacre à l’analyse du Port intérieur d’Antoine Volodine (1995), et du post-exotisme en général, qui imagine l’entre-deux du rêve et de la veille comme un médium de transmigration ; nous proposons de voir comment l’apocalypse, sans cesse réactivée, lève le voile sur l’horreur du réel que les personnages réélaborent dans une éternelle transition. Enfin, la mise en écho de ces trois œuvres permet de considérer la capacité du rêve à générer du réel au seuil de l’inconnu de l’avenir, que la littérature invite à reconcevoir par le biais d’une refondation cosmologique. / This dissertation aims to study the in-between of dreams and wake from a cosmological angle. We will argue that every text of our corpus conveys a particular vision of the world mediated by an interstitial level, through which the characters negotiate their identity and relationship with the world, notably in a context of cultural apocalypse. In chapter zero, we situate our statement vis a vis the contemporary field of discourse aiming to re-evaluate the concept of ‘‘Great Divide”, on which modern ontology is based (Descola, Latour, Morin). This deconstruction leads us to con-sider the mediation link interrelating dreams with reality in a context of imagination crisis (Augé), so as to interrogate the type of forward-looking reality that the dialectical logic (Benja-min) makes us consider. In light of this epistemological device, the first chapter focuses on the novel The Blind Owl (Bouf-e-kour) by Iranian writer Sadegh Hedayat (1936). Between the states of dream and wake is revealed the collapse of ancient Persian cosmology, signified to the narra-tor by a female angel coming to die in his bed. The hermeneutic and semantic analysis of the text reveals the shift from a premodern vision of the world, based on the deciphering of the Imaginal Real through « angélophanie » (Corbin), to a spectral perspective subjecting the present to an irrevocably dead origin (Derrida). In the second chapter, the Tuareg Ibrahim al-Koni’s (al-Tibr, 1990) Gold Dust shows the in-between as the pedestal of a cosmic structure where beings op-pose and complement each other between the visible and the invisible (Claudot-Hawad). Through the protagonist’s descent into hell between dream and wake, a cosmological study re-veals an ecology extending human territory through the spirit and animal domains, so as to make it reach the ‘‘unity of existence’’ which desert is the equation. The third and final chapter is de-voted to the analysis of Antoine Volodine's Le Port intérieur (1995) and post-exoticism in gen-eral, which describes the in-between as a transmigration medium. We aim to investigate how the apocalypse, constantly reactivated, lifts the veil on the horrific reality that the characters reimag-ine in an eternal transition between life and death, dream and wake. Finally, the echoing of these three works leads us to question the dream's ability to generate reality on the threshold of the future’s unknown, which literature invites us to redesign through a cosmological refoundation.

The proposed thesis design is a necropolis (city of the dead) in the form of a vertical park structure through which alternative methods of burial are investigated. The question of an architectural expression of consciousness to overcome cultural norms and challenge perceptions is researched through the theoretical exploration of the following: the cycle of life; the physical and meta-physical between; and collective dwelling. Through exploring ways of sensitively infusing urban environments with an awareness and acknowledgement of death, life is celebrated by exposing death through a physical manifestation of the whole cycle of life, which will transcend several generations of urban dwellers. In populating the between, these antimonument memorials would become accepted over time and a meta-physical awareness would be created to produce a new culture of urban life. / Dissertation (MArch(Prof))--University of Pretoria, 2011. / Architecture / unrestricted

The relationship between trademark protection and copyright protection Abstract The theme of this thesis is the relationship between trademark and copyright protection. The aim of the thesis was to describe the area of trademarks and copyrights, to describe their mutual relationship and to focus on aspects where both of these protections differ significantly. The thesis focuses in more detail on trademarks, which is always addressed at the beginning of each chapter and then compares them with copyright. The first four chapters deal with the key areas of both protections, especially the introduction of the main institutes and their purpose, the systematization of trademarks and copyrights, the origin, duration and termination of both protections, subjective rights and as last but not least exclusions from trademark and copyright protection. The fifth chapter deals with the relationship of both protections and describes the mutual differences that occur especially in the origin, duration, form, and scope of legal protection. It also discusses the possibility of the concurrence of both protections, its causes, types, and consequences. The outcome of this thesis is an overview of trademark and copyright protection and analysis of their mutual relationship with emphasis on the approximation of common features...

Title: Relationship of a child with Asperger syndrome and his family to school Author: Tereza Měšťáková Department: Psychology Supervisor: PhDr. Veronika Pavlas Martanová, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This diploma thesis deals with the relationship of a child with Asperger's syndrome and his family to school. The work aims to map the nature of these relationships and factors that may affect this relationship in specific children with AS and their parents. The theoretical part of the work is divided into two main sections. The first chapter focuses on Asperger Syndrome and its specifics, which are manifested in the school environment, on the relationships of children with this syndrome to classmates and teachers. The second part deals with the relationship between family and school. Attention is paid to the dilemmas of this relationship, the possibilities of its development and the relationship of the family with a problematic child to school The empirical part of the thesis presents qualitative research, which was carried out by the method of semi-structured interviews with five second-graders with Asperger Syndrome educated in ordinary primary schools and their parents. Acquired data was analyzed and interpreted. The results of this research are presented at the end of the text. KEYWORDS Asperger Syndrome, pupil,...

Detta examensarbete har genomförts på uppdrag av CBI Betonginstitutet. Handledare till examensarbetet har varit professor Johan Silfwerbrand från CBI och examinator Per Roald från Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan i Haninge.  Idag är betong ett byggmaterial som används i stor omfattning tack vare sin beständighet, miljövänlighet och lönsamhet. Betong hittar man i både gamla och nyproducerade konstruktioner. Även med bra egenskaper kan betong vara ofullkomlig när den prepareras på fel sätt.  För att underlätta gjutning och arbetbarhet av betong användes förut i många fall mycket vatten och detta resulterade i att beständigheten på betong försämrades. De flesta gamla betongkonstruktionerna är nu i stort behov av renovering. Det synliga beviset kan vara spricknärvaro på ytan och detta kan ha följd att vatten tränger in och orsakar bland annat frost- och saltangrepp samt korrosion i armering. Betong som är skadad eller sliten kan behöva renoveras genom att avverkas delvis eller helt. För att hitta en lämplig avverkningsmetod och reparationsmaterial behöver man först ta reda på skadorna, ställa krav på lagningen, tänka på hur lagningen kommer att utföras och hur upprepningen av skadan ska förebyggas. För att reparera den skadade betongen, avverkas den först och sedan gjuts pågjutningar på den friska och kvarstående delen. Pågjutningar används även i flerskiktsgolv t ex gjuts pågjutningar på prefabricerade bjälklag i olika köpcentrum. Det finns flera typer av bilningsmetoder och de påverkar den kvarstående betongen på olika sätt. De mest använda metoder är vattenbilning och hydraulisk bilning. Vattenbilning är den mest använda inom anläggningssektorn och den effektivaste och lönsammaste metoden. Betongen bilas bort med högtrycksvatten och lämnar en grov och skonsam yta på den friska betongen. Hydraulisk bilning är den äldsta, billigaste och enklaste metoden men nackdelen är att den orsakar mikrosprickor i den friska betongen. Efter betongbilningen måste man se till att man har förutsättningar för en god vidhäftning mellan gammal och pågjuten betong. Vidhäftning är beroende av ett antal faktorer och de fem viktigaste av dem är renhet, mikrosprickfrihet, frånvaro av cementhud, god kompaktering och god härdning.  I första delen av examensarbetet testas en provningsmetod som mäter hur ren en motgjutningsyta är. I detta fall används en vit mikrofiberduk som krontrollmätare på renhet. Olika varianter av smuts applicerades på ytan av en betongplatta för att testa mikrofiberdukens uppsugningsförmåga. Mikrofiberduken S-sveptes över den smutsiga betong ytan och redan där sågs det tydligt hur bra mikrofiberduken är på att absorbera smuts. På samma sätt utfördes det på en ren yta och den använda duken förblev vit vilket är ett tydligt bevis på att ytan på betongplatta är helt ren och redo för pågjutning.  Examensarbetets andra del tar upp en jämförelse mellan vidhäftningen på en ren pågjuten motgjutningsyta och en oren motgjutningsyta. Vi studerade renhetens inverkan på vidhäftningen mellan gammal och pågjuten betong och som avverkningsmetod användes vattenbilning. För att utföra det, har två betongplattor gjutits och sedan vattenbilats. Den bilade ytan på både plattorna delades i olika delar, där olika varianter av smuts applicerades på halva betongplattan och andra halvan var den rena referensen. Efter detta göts ny, pågjuten betong på båda betongplattorna. Fyra veckor senare togs dragtester för att se om draghållfasthet försämras i över-, underbetong eller i fogen på grund av orenhet jämfört med referensen.  Renhet har en stor påverkan på vidhäftningen mellan gammal och ny, pågjuten betong. Draghållfastheten försämras om motgjutningsytan inte är helt ren. Beviset är ett brott i fogen mellan betongskikten, med en väldig liten dragkraft och det syns tydligt att smuts som olja eller träflis precis i fogen när borrcylinder dras ut. För att lösa problemet rekommenderas att använda en vit mirakel duk för att vara säker att motgjutningsytan är helt ren innan pågjutningar gjuts på och detta bevisas med en oförändrad vit färg på duken. / This Bachelor’s thesis project has been commissioned by Swedish Cement and Concrete Research Institute. Our supervisor for this thesis project has been Prof. Johan Silfwerbrand and examiner Per Roald from The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. Nowadays, concrete is a building material that is widely used because of its durability, environmental friendliness and profitability. Concrete can be found in both old and new designs produced. Even with good performance concrete can be imperfect when it is prepared incorrectly. To facilitate the handling of concrete plenty of water was often used before and this resulted in concrete deterioration. Many old concrete structures are now in great need of renovation. The visible proof can be the presence of micro cracking on the surface and this may be due to the ingress of water in the concrete and causes including freezing and salt attack and corrosion of the reinforcement.   Concrete that is damaged or worn may need to be removed partly or completely. Appropriate removal methods and repair materials are needed, the causes of damage has to be determined, establishing of requirements for repair of concrete, the process of repairing has to be settled and the prevention of the repetition of the damage has to be determined. The damaged concrete has to be removed and be replaced by new overlay concrete. The overlay concrete is used as well in multi-layer floor, for example in various shopping centers overlay concrete is placed on precast slabs. There are several methods of concrete removal and they have different impact on the surface of the remaining concrete. The most widely used methods are the water jet and the hydraulic jetting. Water jet or hydro demolition is the most widely used in civil engineering sector and an efficient and profitable method. The concrete is removed by high pressure water that leaves a rough and gentle surface of the remaining concrete. Hydraulic jetting is the oldest, most common method and easiest concrete removal method. The negative impact of this method is that it causes micro cracks on the remaining concrete.  After the concrete has been removed there is a need to ensure that the conditions of getting a good bond between the old concrete and the overlay concrete are there. A good bond is dependent on a number of factors, and five of them are most important: micro cracks absence, the absence of laitance layer, cleanliness, high compaction and good curing.   In the first part of the thesis it is tested a test method that measures how clean the surface, there the overlay concrete will be placed, is. In this case, a white microfiber cloth is used as the crown control measure of cleanliness. Different types of dust and contaminations are applied to the surface of a concrete slab to test the cloth’s capacity to absorb the contaminations. The microfiber cloth is swept with S-pattern onto the contaminated concrete surface and already there it was obvious how good microfiber cloth is at absorbing dirt. In the same way this process was performed on a clean surface and the cloth remained white which is a clear proof that the surface of the concrete slab is perfectly clean and ready for casting.  The second part of this thesis deals with a comparison between the adhesion to a clean surface and unclean one. We study the effect of cleanliness on the bond between old concrete and a new-cast concrete overlay with water jet as a removal of the old concrete. To perform it, two concrete slabs were cast and then water jetted. The jetted surfaces of both slabs were divided into different zones, in which different varieties of contaminations were applied to half of the concrete slab and the other half remained clean as a reference zone. After this step the overlay concrete was cast on the surface of both concrete slabs. Four weeks later the test of the tensile bond strength was performed to observe where the strength has been poor and where the fracture of the concrete slabs has been, in other words if the fracture will be whether in the new-cast overlay concrete, in the bond zone or in the substrate concrete.   Cleanliness has a profound influence on the bond between old and new cast concrete. The tensile strength is poor on the concrete where the surface wasn’t clean enough. The proof is a fracture on the bond between the concrete layers, with less tension force and it is clearly visible dirt such as oil or chips just on the interface when the drilling cylinder is pulled out. To solve this problem it is advised to use a white miracle cloth to be sure that the surface is completely clean before placement of the new-cast concrete.

Title: Women in decision making bodies in Czech sport (focus on federations of Czech Sport Union) Objectives: The aim of this diploma thesis based on existing theoretical knowledge is find out what is the representation of women in management positions of sports associations is, to reveal the reasons or fears of women to become sports officials and to assess the possibilities or interest in becoming part of management structures. Methods: The main method is the questionnaire survey method. Women in the management structures of sports associations were asked to answer particular set of questions. Contacts for the interviewed women were obtained by analyzing secondary data from the websites of individual sports associations. Results: Due to the secondary data analysis the numerical representation of women and men as sports officials was determined. However, the numbers are rough regarding the lack of union numerical data. Both, the analysis and the questionnaire survey confirmed the numerical superiority of men in almost all unions. In most cases, women also state they work voluntarily within the union and are most represented between the ages of 36 and 60.They find reasons for low interest in becoming a sports officials mainly because the activity takes too much time and the main obstacles include...

Background: Within health care communication is an essential prerequisite for a working system. When communication between different parties works well it results in good care. Communication failure has been proven to be the main reason for adverse events in health care. Another important aspect in the provision of good health care is to have good hand-offs between different health care providers and units. Previous research demonstrates that hand-offs between units are strongly linked to jeopardizing patient safety.   Aim: The aim with this literature review was to identify factors that affect hand-offs between different units Method: A literature review with a thematic analysis of ten qualitative articles  Result: Two themes and four subthemes were identified. “Circumstances during hand-off” with subthemes time available for the hand-off and organizational factors. The other theme was “Communication during hand-off” with subthemes interaction between nurses and what is said. Conclusion: Even though hand-off between units is an indigenous part of health care it is still being affected by factors that could be changed through extracting and implementing evidence-based methods. / Bakgrund: Inom hälso-och sjukvården utgör kommunikation en viktig förutsättning för ett fungerande system. När kommunikationen mellan olika parter inom vården fungerar bra resulterar detta även i god vård. Brister i kommunikation har visat sig vara en av de största orsakerna till vårdskador. Utöver en god kommunikation är bra överrapporteringar viktiga för att patienter ska få god vård mellan olika vårdpersonal och vårdenheter. Tidigare forskning visar att överrapporteringar mellan olika vårdenheter är starkt förknippat med risker i patientsäkerheten. Syfte: Syftet med denna litteraturöversikt var att identifiera faktorer som påverkar överrapporteringar mellan olika vårdenheter. Metod: En litteraturöversikt med en tematisk analys av tio kvalitativa artiklar.  Resultat: Två teman och fyra subteman identifierades. ”Omständigheter under överrapporteringen” med subteman disponibel tid för överrapporteringen och organisatoriska faktorer. Det andra temat var ”kommunikation under överrapporteringen” med subteman interaktion mellan vårdpersonal och vad som sägs. Slutsats: Trots att överrapporteringar mellan olika avdelningar är en naturlig del av vården påverkas de av faktorer som skulle kunna förändras genom framställandet och implementeringen av evidensbaserade metoder.
