O déficit habitacional brasileiro continua elevado, apesar do aumento dos investimentos públicos voltados à produção de HIS (Habitação de Interesse Social). A produção habitacional financiada por programas públicos emprega, majoritariamente, a área útil ao redor de 36m². Assim, torna-se inevitável que as HIS, com dimensões mínimas, sofram ampliações (na maioria das vezes espontâneas, efetuadas pelos próprios moradores), nem sempre com orientação profissional. Dificuldades para projetar casas evolutivas, adaptáveis às necessidades de expansão horizontal ou vertical da unidade habitacional, determinam, muitas vezes, alterações substanciais no conforto ambiental e na lógica de circulação e de articulação entre os espaços da habitação original. Metodologias utilizadas para a previsão de transformações morfológicas esbarram na dificuldade de modelar as transformações e transferir a descrição obtida com estes modelos para estratégias projetuais. Entre os modelos de formas construídas, a Sintaxe Espacial vem se mostrando eficaz na análise de hierarquia dos espaços, enquanto a Gramática da Forma documenta, com relativa fidelidade, as características de contiguidades entre espaços no processo de expansão. Com isso, os princípios generativos de uma habitação evolutiva podem ser extraídos das ampliações de HIS. Esses modelos ajudam a descrever a estrutura planar das transformações morfológicas e podem auxiliar na previsão das mudanças provocadas por usuários de HIS no Brasil. O método foi aplicado em casas originalmente de dois dormitórios existentes em conjuntos habitacionais de Porto Alegre e da Região Metropolitana de Porto Alegre (grupo RS). A comparação com projetos de HIS de três autores (grupo unidades-exemplo) testa a hipótese de tendência a semelhanças (apesar das diferenças entre os projetos do grupo unidades-exemplo quanto ao tamanho, à localização e à implantação no terreno) entre as ampliações espontâneas observadas no grupo RS e as propostas adotadas por esses autores. O método utilizado permitiu confirmar a hipótese levantada, indicando que é possível generalizar as soluções apresentadas no grupo unidades-exemplos para outras regiões do País, no momento em que há semelhanças entre os dois grupos considerados. Essa metodologia tem como produto as regras espaciais e medidas de hierarquia dos compartimentos, sem estarem atreladas a uma expressão arquitetônica, que retratam os padrões geométricos e configuracionais das HIS transformadas no grupo RS e contribuem para possibilitar comparações com outros projetos, como os do grupo unidades-exemplo. / The Brazilian housing deficit remains high, despite the increase in public investment aimed at production of low-incoming housing. Housing production financed by public programs employs, mainly, the useful area around 36 m². Thus, it becomes inevitable that the low-incoming housing, with minimum dimensions, suffer expansions (most often spontaneous, carried out by the residents), not always with professional guidance. Difficulties to design evolutionary houses, adaptable to the needs of horizontal or vertical expansion of the housing unit, determine, often, substantial changes in the environmental comfort and in the logic of movement and articulation among the spaces of the original housing. Methodologies used for the prediction of morphological transformations based on difficulty of modeling transformations and transfer the description obtained from these models for project strategies. Among the models of forms built, Space Syntax has been showing effective in analysis of hierarchy and permeability of the spaces, while the Grammar of Form documents, with relative fidelity, the characteristics of contiguities among spaces in the expansion process. With that, the generative principles of an evolutionary housing can be extracted from enlargements of low-incoming housing. These templates help to describe the plane structure of morphological transformations and can assist in predicting the changes caused by low-incoming housing users in Brazil. The method was applied in originally two bedroom houses existing in housing estates of Porto Alegre and the Metropolitan Region of Porto Alegre (RS group). The comparison with low-incoming housing projects by three authors (group sample-units) tests the hypothesis of trend to similarities (in spite of the differences among the projects of the group sample-units regarding the size, the location and the deployment on the ground) between the spontaneous enlargements observed in the RS group and the proposals adopted by these authors. The used method was able to confirm the hypothesis, indicating that it is possible to generalize the solutions presented in the group sample-units for other regions of the Country, at the moment when there are similarities between the two groups considered. This methodology has as product the space rules and measures of hierarchy of compartments, without being linked to an architectural expression, which depict configurational and geometric patterns of transformed low-incoming housing in RS group and contribute to enable comparisons with other projects, such as the group sample-units.

Database management systems are highly specialized to efficiently organize and process huge amounts of data in a transactional manner. During the last years, however, database management systems have been evolving as a central hub for the integration of mostly heterogeneous and autonomous data sources to provide homogenized data access. The next step in pushing database technology forward to play the role of an information marketplace is to actively notify registered users about incoming messages or changes in the underlying data set. Therefore, notification services may be seen as a generic term for subscription systems or, more general, data stream systems which both enable processing of standing queries over transient data. This article gives a comprehensive introduction into the context of notification services by outlining their differences to the classical query/response-based communication pattern, it illustrates potential application areas, and it discusses requirements addressing the underlying data management support. In more depth, this article describes the core concepts of the PubScribe project thereby choosing three different perspectives. From a first perspective, the subscription process and its mapping onto the primitive publish/subscribe communication pattern is explained. The second part focuses on a hybrid subscription data model by describing the basic constructs from a structural as well as an operational point of view. Finally, the PubScribe notification service project is characterized by a storage and processing model based on relational database technology. To summarize, this contribution introduces the idea of notification services from an application point of view by inverting the database approach and dealing with persistent queries and transient data. Moreover, the article provides an insight into database technology, which must be exploited and adopted to provide a solid base for a scalable notification infrastructure, using the PubScribe project as an example.

This thesis at the Institute for Language and Folklore has as its purpose to lay a foundation for a continuinginventory work. The tasks I have performed during my time there was to create an archival description, anintroduction to the material and a process map showing the process of incoming delivery of documents. The aimwas never to finish the list of work, but to structure the material to get an insight into the material and to theproblems that existed within. The documents are of a very unique nature and require that the archivist is familiarwith and have knowledge of sign language. One of the problems I encountered was how fragmented the materialwas. The documents are divided between Stockholm and Uppsala, which means that provenance becomesparticularly significant for this material. By revoking parts of the material from the National Archives in Stockholm,the institute is trying to reduce the distribution part of the process. But this is a problem that affects all documentsand will therefore affect the entire inventory process. The Institute's goal is to digitizing documents and make itmore accessible for researchers.

Tourism was realized very rarely a few decades ago. Today it is a significant part of the world's GDP and has become a major economic factor. The Czech Republic is a very attractive country in the heart of Europe with numerous natural, historical and cultural values. The tourist region Vysočina can boast all these qualities, yet one of the least visited region in the Czech Republic. This thesis deals with a detailed analysis of the potential of the tourist region Vysočina to become a competitive tourist destination. The aim of this work is to analyze primary and secondary tourism field and to assess the organizational structure of tourism and promotional activities of tourism operators with an emphasis on planned projects. The author's own research, focused on the general opinion on the issue of tourism in the region and on the evaluation of the tourism offer, is a part of this work as well. The benefit of the thesis lies in the overall recovery of the tourist supply and in making the region more attractive which can contribute to potential subsequent increased and mobilizing demand for tourism in Vysočina.

The Enhanced Biological Phosphorus Removal (EBPR) process is characterized as the most sustainable process to remove phosphorus from wastewater albeit with high variability in performance efficiency. Thus, unpredictable upsets in the EBPR system is the norm across several wastewater treatment plants throughout Sweden, forcing the hand of the operators to dose higher volume of chemicals to reach the effluent requirements. As future effluent requirements are getting stricter and since higher chemical usage is environmentally and economically unsustainable, this investigation was setup to evaluate which environmental, operational and/or wastewater characteristics correlate with EBPR upsets at full-scale wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), more specifically at Lundåkra WWTP operated by Nordvästra Skånes Vatten och Avlopp (NSVA). The data used in the investigation was collected between 1St January 2018 and 31St December 2020 for a vast number of parameters known to play a key role in biological phosphorus removal. Online sensors as well as external and internal analysis contributed to the data which included parameters such as ‘Total flow at the plant’, ‘pH of the incoming water’, ‘Temperature in aeration basins’, ‘Dissolved oxygen (DO) levels in aeration basins’, ‘Nitrate in aeration basins’, ‘Sludge content in aeration basins’, etc. Other relevant parameters such as ‘Hydraulic retention time (HRT) in the treatment units’, ‘Sludge retention time (SRT) in aeration basin’, ‘Organic loading rate (OLR)’, etc. were calculated. Before the start of this investigation, the two possible explanations were presumed and they can be classified as: (i) upsets as a result of unsuitable environmental conditions and/or error in the operational strategy at the plant and (ii) upsets as a result of toxicity from higher concentration of metals in the influent specifically. Traditional statistical methods such as the t-distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (t-SNE), Spearman Rank Correlation and Principal Component Analysis were used for the purpose of this study to test the first presumed explanation. The t-SNE plot showed that the upsets did not cluster into one large group but instead clamped up into smaller groups scattered across the length of the scale in both dimensions. This points towards the multivariate dependency of the EBPR process and exhibits that upsets might occur even with an operational strategy that produces good results otherwise. This, in turn, eludes to the fact that a non-included parameter such as the ‘daily metal concentrations in the influent’ could be responsible for some or all of the upsets. The Principal Component Analysis (PCA) plot, although noisy, offered an improvement strategy built around the key variables namely ‘nitrate in aeration basin 1 & 2’, ‘sludge content in aeration basin’, ‘SRT in aeration basin’, ‘O2 in aeration basin 1 & 2’ and ‘pH of incoming water’. Therefore, it is recommended that an improvement strategy be devised around them. Multiple causal factors increase the complexity of the analysis by decreasing the correlation coefficients, however, incorporation of the scatterplots presents a clearer picture. The parameters ‘nitrate in aeration basin 1 & 2’ and ‘sludge content in aeration basin’ showed the strongest correlation with phosphate values at the end of biological treatment at -0.32 and 0.42 respectively. The results also open the door to future research and provide direction for further investigations. / Den förbättrade biologiska fosforborttagningsprocessen karakteriseras som den mest hållbara processen för att avlägsna fosfor från avloppsvatten om än med stor variation i prestandaeffektivitet. Således är oförutsägbara störningar i systemet för förbättrad biologisk fosforavskiljning (EBPR) normen bland flera avloppsreningsverk i hela Sverige, vilket tvingar operatörerna att dosera högre volymer kemikalier för att nå avloppskraven. Eftersom framtida avloppskrav blir allt strängare och eftersom högre kemikalieanvändning är miljömässigt och ekonomiskt ohållbar, gjordes denna undersökning för att utvärdera vilka miljö-, drifts- och/eller avloppsvattenegenskaper som korrelerar med EBPR- störningar vid fullskaligt avloppsreningsverk. Närmare bestämt vid Lundåkra reningsverk som drivs av Nordvästra Skånes Vatten och Avlopp. Datan som användes i undersökningen samlades in mellan 1:a januari 2018 och 31:a december 2020 för ett fast antal parametrar som är kända att spela en nyckelroll vid borttagning av biologiskt P. Onlinesensorer samt externa och interna analyser bidrog till datan vilken inkluderade parametrar som 'Totalt flöde vid anläggningen', 'pH för det inkommande vattnet', 'Temperatur i luftningsbassänger', nivåer av upplöst syre (DO) i luftningsbassänger ',' Nitrat i luftningsbassänger ',' Slamhalt i luftningsbassänger ', etc. Andra relevanta parametrar som 'Hydraulisk retentionstid (HRT) i behandlingsenheterna ',' Slamretentionstid (SRT) i luftningsbassäng ',' Organisk belastningshastighet (OLR) ', etc. beräknades. Innan denna undersökning påbjörades antogs de två möjliga förklaringarna och de kan klassificeras som: (i) störningar till följd av olämpliga miljöförhållanden och/eller fel i driftstrategin vid anläggningen och (ii) störningar till följd av toxicitet från högre koncentration av metaller i inflödet specifikt. Traditionella statistiska metoder såsom t- Distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (t-SNE), Spearman Rank Correlation och Principal Component Analysis användes i denna studie för att testa den första förmodade förklaringen. t-SNE- diagrammet visade att störningarna inte samlades i en stor grupp utan istället klämdes ihop i mindre grupper utspridda över skalans längd i båda dimensionerna. Detta pekar mot EBPR-processens multivariata beroende och visar att störningar kan uppstå även med en operativ strategi som annars ger bra resultat. Detta i sin tur undviker det faktum att en icke-inkluderad parameter som "dagliga metallkoncentrationer i inflödet" kan vara orsaken för några eller alla störningar. Principal Component Analysis (PCA)-diagrammet, trots att det var bullrigt, möjliggjorde en förbättringsstrategi byggd kring nyckelvariablerna, nämligen 'nitrat i luftningsbassäng 1 & 2', 'slamhalt i luftningsbassäng', 'SRT i luftningsbassäng', 'O2 i luftningsbassäng 1 & 2' och 'pH av inkommande vatten'. Därför rekommenderas att en förbättringsstrategi utarbetas kring dem. Flera kausala faktorer ökar komplexiteten i analysen genom att minska korrelationskoefficienterna, men spridningsdiagrammen ger en tydligare bild. Parametrarna ‘nitrat i luftningsbassäng 1 & 2’ och ‘slamhalt i luftningsbassäng’ visade starkast samband med fosfatvärden vid slutet av biologisk behandling vid -0,32 respektive 0,42. Resultaten lämnar dörren öppen för framtida forskning och kan vägleda vidare undersökningar.
