This master’s thesis deals with the measurement of the electrical soil resistivity. In the theoretical part there are described the methods by which the soil resistivity is measured – especially the Wenner’s method, which was used for the practical measurements. Then there is also described the one-layered and the two-layered model of this method. Furthermore, there is described the procedure for the measurement of soil resistivity using the OMICRON CPC 100 and PU 193 instruments used in the measurement. To verify the modeling of a two-layered soil model, the theoretical part of the thesis describes the soil modeling process using the program Ansys. As for the practical part of the thesis, the measurements were carried out in three localities: Brno – Královo Pole; Hrušovany nad Jevišovkou – Pravice; Hustopeče nad Bečvou – Vysoká. The measured values were processed using the Matlab’s graphical user interface (GUI) that was developed within this thesis. From these values, at least one two-layered soil model was created for each location and both meters – a total of 12 models were created. For these models, measurements were simulated in Ansys. The results of the simulations were then compared with the measured values. The aim of this thesis is to compare the measured data with the data obtained by the simulations and subsequently to describe the suitability / unsuitability of the substitution of the one-layered soil model for the two-layered one for given measurements.

Des calculs de type modèle en couches ont été réalisés dans un espace de valence 1¯hω complet pour les noyaux de la couche sd. Ces calculs ont permis pour la première fois de prédire la durée de vie des états de parité positive et négative des noyaux riches en neutrons de la couche sd. Les durées de vie prédites (1 - 100 ps) sont mesurables par la méthode de décalage Doppler différentiel.Le démonstrateur du détecteur γ européen de nouvelle génération, AGATA, en coïncidence avec le spectromètre magnétique PRISMA du LNL (Italie) et le plunger de l’Université de Cologne ont été utilisés pour mesurer les durées de vie des états excités dans 32,33Si et 35,36S. Les structures plus complexes, à n¯hω ont également été étudiées dans le 28Si. Ce dernier est un noyau important pour comprendre la compétition entre les structures de type champ moyen et les structures en agrégats. La réaction résonante de capture radiative d’ions lourds-légers 12C+16O a été réalisée à des énergies sous-coulombiennes. La décroissance γ complète depuis les résonances peuplées par laréaction jusqu’au niveau fondamental de 28Si a été mesurée pour la première fois à ces énergies et montre une forte alimentation d’états intermédiaires autour de 10 MeV. Les comparaisons avec des études de captures radiatives au-dessus de la barrière de Coulomb ont été effectuées et les résultats ont été interprétés en termes de l’alimentation favorisée d’états à isospin T = 1 dans le noyau autoconjugué 28Si. / New large-scale shell-model calculations with full 1¯hω valence space for the sd-nuclei has been used for the first time to predict lifetimes of positive and negative parity states in neutron rich Si isotopes. The predicted lifetimes (1 - 100 ps) fall in the range of the differential Doppler shift method. Using the demonstrator of the European next generation γ-ray array, AGATA, in coincidence with the large acceptance PRISMA magnetic spectrometer from LNL (Legnaro) and the differential plunger of the University of Cologne, lifetimes of excited states in 32,33Si and 35,36S nuclei were measured. In a second step, the n¯hω structure in the stable 28Si nucleus was also studied. 28Si is an important nucleus to understand the competition between mean-field and cluster structures. It displays a wealth of structures in terms of deformation and clustering. Light heavy-ion resonant radiative capture 12C+16O has been performed at energies below the Coulomb barrier. The measured γ-spectra indicate for the first time at these energies that the strongest part of the resonance decay proceeds though intermediate states around 10 MeV. Comparisons with previous radiative capture studies above the Coulomb barrier have been performed and the results have been interpreted in terms of a favoured feeding of T = 1 states in the 28Si self-conjugate nucleus.

At some point during a creative action something clicks, suddenly the prospective problem solver just knows the solution to a problem, and a feeling of joy and relief arises. This phenomenon, called Eureka experience, insight, Aha moment, hunch, epiphany, illumination, or serendipity, has been part of human narrations for thousands of years. It is the moment of a subjective experience, a surprising, and sometimes a life-changing event. In this thesis, I narrow down this moment 1. conceptually, 2. experientially, and 3. temporally. The concept of emerging solutions has a multidisciplinary background in Cognitive Science, Arts, Design, and Engineering. Through the discussion of previous terminology and comparative reviews of historical literature, I identify sources of ambiguity surrounding this phenomenon and suggest unifying terms as the basis for interdisciplinary exploration. Tracking the experience based on qualitative data from 11 creative practitioners, I identify conflicting aspects of existing models of creative production. To bridge this theoretical and disciplinary divide between iterative design thinking and sequential models of creativity, I suggest a novel multi-layered model. Empirical support for this proposal comes from Dira, a computer-based open-ended experimental paradigm. As part of this thesis I developed the task and 40 unique sets of stimuli and response items to collect dynamic measures of the creative process and evade known problems of insightful tasks. Using Dira, I identify the moment when solutions emerge from the number and duration of mouse-interactions with the on-screen elements and the 124 participants' self-reports. I provide an argument for the multi-layered model to explain a discrepancy between the timing observed in Dira and existing sequential models. Furthermore, I suggest that Eureka moments can be assessed on more than a dichotomous scale, as the empirical data from interviews and Dira demonstrates for this rich human experience. I conclude that the research on insight benefits from an interdisciplinary approach and suggest Dira as an instrument for future studies.

La presente tesi ha come oggetto due problemi della filosofia di John Searle, entrambi definibili come problemi del fondamento. Il primo è il problema del fondamento vero e proprio, e cioè il problema del tentativo di Searle di ancorare la mente umana (con la sua irriducibilità ontologica) alla realtà fisica e naturale, attraverso un’inedita soluzione del problema mente-corpo che prende il nome di naturalismo biologico. Il secondo è, invece, il problema del fondamento della realtà sociale, e cioè il problema del tentativo di Searle di collocare tanto l’origine ontologica quanto il principio esplicativo della realtà sociale e istituzionale dentro la coscienza (ogni singola coscienza) e, in particolare, nell’intenzionalità collettiva. In questo senso, la presente tesi ha lo scopo di mostrare che i tentativi di Searle non sembrano essere andati del tutto a buon fine. Per quanto riguarda il primo – e cioè il problema del fondamento vero e proprio – si cercherà di mostrare che a) il naturalismo biologico sembra essere fondato su una metafisica a livelli non adeguatamente sviluppata per sorreggerlo e giustificarlo, e che, di conseguenza, b) il naturalismo biologico non sembra essere quella soluzione semplice al problema mente-corpo che pretende di essere. Per quanto riguarda il secondo – e cioè il problema del fondamento della realtà sociale – si cercherà di mostrare che a) il costruttivismo sociale di Searle sembra sfociare in una forma di solipsismo apparentemente incompatibile con qualsiasi concetto di intenzionalità collettiva, ma che, ciononostante, b) sembra esserci una soluzione per questo problema non solo interna alla filosofia della mente di Searle, ma anche in grado di svilupparne le potenzialità inespresse.
