This thesis is concerned with a comparison of works written by GDR authors Hanns Cibulka, Waldtraut Lewin a Christine Wolter which deal with the motif of the journey to Italy. The analysis is based on spatial and intercultural theories, which are presented in the first part of the thesis. The genre of travelogue, the motif of the Italian journey in the German-language literature and political conditions for the creation and publication of travelogues in the GDR are also introduced. The core of the thesis is the comparison of eleven texts, especially travelogues, regarding the spatial and social dimension of travelling. The first aspect covers reflections of Goethe's Italian journey and the function of travelling, as well as the depiction of nature, urban space and architecture and the treatment of the garden motif. Regarding the second aspect, the author follows the narrative technics used in portraying the mediators between the travelling writers and the Italian culture, as well as in the depiction of tourists or strangers. An additional question of the study is whether (and possibly how) the writers reflect on the GDR regime against the background of the Italian scenery.

Uma graduação elementar por um grupo G na álgebra A = UT(α1, α2, ..., αr) de matrizes triangulares superiores em blocos é determinada por uma n-upla em Gn, onde n = α1+· · ·+αr. Mostraremos que as graduações elementares em A determinadas por duas n-uplas em Gnsão isomorfas se, e somente se, as n-uplas estão na mesma órbita da bi-ação canônica em Gn com o grupo Sα1 × · · · × Sαr agindo à esquerda e G à direita. Em seguida utilizamos estes resultados para mostrar que, sob certas hipóteses (por exemplo, se o grupo G tem ordem prima), duas álgebras de matrizes triangulares superiores em blocos, graduadas pelo grupo G, satisfazem as mesmas identidades graduadas se, e somente se, são isomorfas (como álgebras graduadas). / In this dissertation we study elementary (or good) gradings in upper block triangular matrix algebras and the corresponding graded polynomial identities. An elementary grading by a group G on the algebra A = UT(α1, α2, ..., αr) of upper block triangular matrices is determined by an n-tuple in Gn, where n = α1 + · · · + αr. It will be proved that the elementary gradings on A determined by two n-tuples in Gn are isomorphic if and only if the n-tuples are in the same orbit in the canonical bi-action on Gn with the group Sα1 × · · · × Sαr acting on the left and the group G acting on the right. These results will be used to prove that under suitable hypothesis (for example if the group G has prime order) two upper block triangular matrix algebras, graded by the group G, satisfy the same graded identities if and only if they are isomorphic (as graded algebras).

The topic of this thesis is change management. A summary of the topic is made in the first part of this thesis so that a reader has the theoretical background to read further. In the second part, the author describes five most important change management methods. These methods are described, analyzed and compared to one another. Five hypotheses about the most influential factors to the outcome of a change project were created out of the analysis. These hypotheses cover the entire span of a typical change project and are tested in the practical part of this thesis. The practical part of the thesis relies on a thorough case studies analysis and interviews. By analyzing the case studies and the interviews, the author was able to judge the validity of set hypotheses and create a set of recommendations for future change projects. These recommendations are based on many real situations and therefore are valuable for future reference. The role of information technology in change management is also emphasized at the end of the thesis.

This diploma thesis deals with the analysis of the environment of the company TEFIS s.r.o., active in the logistics industry. It discusses the assessment and suggestions for changes to the company's information system. Given issues contains the theoretical background to the given issues and analyzes that were carried out in the company environment. Based on the analysis, the work actually includes suggestions for solutions for streamlining the information system and an overall summary.

The aim of this thesis is to describe and analyze the information system of the company, which deals with the processing and sale of metallurgical material. Various analyzes will be used to evaluate the individual parts of the system, on the basis of which proposals for changes and measures, which should lead to better overall efficiency of processes, will be created in the final part.

Topic of this Diploma thesis is assessment of information system in selected company Ryba Žilina s.r.o.. This phase of assessment comes out from extensive analysis and findings. After evaluation of analytical methods used, suggestions for improvement of current information system, will be created. This proposals should bring positive asset for company itself and improve some of the processes in company.

Sound and its apperception are essential to music. But »sound« and »perception« can have different denotations in empirical studies of aural perception and music analysis. To me, musical sound is fundamentally situated: a sound becomes musical when heard not as an isolated aural stimulus, but as an event that serves as the focal point for a complex apperception in which multiple musical events and various human perceptual and cognitive faculties participate. In his essay Music Theory, Phenomenology, and Music Perception, David Lewin probes the sound of a single G-minor chord through an exegesis of various contexts in which it might be heard. After some background on Lewin’s work, I develop a way of thinking about musical sound around two ideas: (1) musical sound is qualitative; and (2) it is context-dependent in a deep way – context penetrates, saturates, is embedded in, and creates musical sound. This idea leads to three others: musical sound is multivalent, distributed, and dynamic. Whereas Lewin explores the formative influence musical contexts exert on sound in a tonal setting (Schubert’s Morgengruß), I consider how this sort of thinking might apply to music outside the bounds of common-practice tonality. With its massive scale, intricate and diverse compositional design, prominent use of varied repetition, and mix of elements of tonality with Messiaen’s modes of limited transposition and atonal materials, Messiaen’s Vingt Regards sur l’Enfant-Jésus (1944) is an apt environment in which to consider the possibilities.

Federal government managers were advised to strengthen internal controls; the law dictates attestation of effective management controls, and the internal control program is used to detect risks. However, managers lacked preparatory training, with training being overlooked given the increased responsibilities. Managers are assigned the programmatic role regardless of the lack of program standards in knowledge, skill, and ability. The research questions addressed change management components, concepts, and core qualifications relative to program readiness. The purpose of this single case study was to identify and explore change management components contributing to the effectiveness of internal controls. The conceptual framework was based on Lewin's change concepts of unfreezing, moving or changing, and refreezing phases with the inverse principle in field theory. Thirteen professionals from the pacific military unit in Hawaii participated in semistructured interviews. Inductive coding was used to thematically analyze the data. The key results of the emerged themes illustrated how: organization skillset was used for linking change components to internal controls, assessment was a tool used for transforming a manager's concept, and experience was essential in leading change core qualifications. Significance of the study was the promotion of stronger measures in preventing fraud, waste, and mismanagement of limited resources. The research results could inspire social change by increasing communication and collaboration to benefit senior leaders, and financial and program managers. The value-added training concepts and leadership innovation, and how managing change relates to internal control could lead to program success thus benefiting all primary stakeholders.
