Natálie Gorbaněvská v české recepci a překladech / Natalya Gorbanevskayaʼs reception and translation in the Czech RepublicVaňková, Zuzana January 2019 (has links)
The present diploma thesis investigates Czec sociopolitical and translation reception of poet, journalist and dissident Natalya Gorbanevskaya. The thesis bases on the context from the Moscow Red Square demonstration against the occupation of Czechoslovakia in August 1968 and maps its reception, which is above all in the Czech Republic an inseparable part of the image of this personage. Further, it introduces the life, literary output and poetics of Gorbanevskaya and makes translatological analysis of Czech translations of authorial parts from her book Red Square at Noon, cycle of eight-line-poems "Place de la non-Concorde" (Площадь несогласия) and other particular poems. Inseparable part of the thesis is also an interview with the author of Czech translations Milan Dvořák.

DEN IDEALA COWBOYEN : En komparativ studie av maskuliniteten inom den amerikanska audiovisuella westerngenren på 1950-talet samt 2010-taletFalk Renström, Johannes January 2019 (has links)
Den hegemoniska maskuliniteten är försatt i ett stadie av konstant förändring och omförhandling. Saker som i en viss tidsepok kommit att associeras med femininitet kan vid en annan tidpunkt komma att tillskrivas som ett maskulint attribut. Då mannens relation till sig själv – och hans relation till sin omgivning – påverkas av den maskulina idealbild som förmedlas, i bland annat populärkulturellt material, blir det därför viktigt att undersöka hur denna hegemoniska maskulinitet yttrar sig i olika tidsepoker. Detta dels för att utröna varför den ser ut som den gör idag och hur den porträtterats historiskt, men även för att förutspå hur gestaltningen av maskulinitet kan komma att förändra sig i framtiden. Denna studie har utfört en komparation mellan westernfilmer som av diverse forskare och kritiker ses som typiska tidsenliga exempel på filmer inom westerngenren. Detta gjordes för att fastställa hur den historiska porträtteringen av den hegemoniska maskuliniteten skiljer sig från den i ett modernt populärkulturellt material inom samma genre. Detta gjordes genom att utföra en semiotisk bildanalys av protagonistens och antagonistens slut- samt introduktionsscen, därefter jämfördes de observationer som gjorts i analysen, varpå övergripande analyser gjordes, i vilken återkommande drag, behandlingen av minoriteter, kroppsattribut och miljöerna som dessa befann sig i och bebodde, diskuterades och sammanställdes. Kontentan av resultatet var att attribut som tidigare associerats med protagonister i materialet från 1950-talet numera utgjordes av antagonisterna i materialet från 2010-talet. Den tidigare maskuliniteten som gestaltades av storväxthet och breda axlar har förändrats, och den hegemoniska maskuliniteten har nu gett upphov till en man med mer komplexa motivationer, större känsloliv och hänsynsfullhet än den som skänktes av protagonisten i dom tidigare gestaltningarna. Genom att uppnå sina målsättningar kunde även protagonisterna i materialen från båda tidsperioderna dölja att dessa antagit attribut som tidigare varit kvinnligt kodade i den nya maskulina idealbilden, exempelvis fällandet av tårar.

Paul Claudel: Polední úděl - česká recepce divadelní hry francouzského dramatika a diplomata / Czech perception of Claudel's Break of NoonDvořáková, Tereza January 2017 (has links)
The master's thesis focuses on a translatological analysis of the original text and two available translations of the Break of Noon, a play written by a significant French playwright and diplomat Paul Claudel. Miloš Marten was the first to translate the play into Czech in 1910. The second translation was done by Vladimír Mikeš and was published in 2012. Given the time span of more than a hundred years between the translations, it is not only interesting to compare them linguistically but also to make a comparison of their reception. Therefore, the thesis deals with the reception of the texts and its development over time. The thesis defines Paul Claudel's place in French culture in the past and today and how its play is perceived in the Czech context. The thesis studies the position of the first translation in the time of its publishing and right after it. The thesis seeks to determine the reasons for the second translation to be commissioned and assess the position of the new text in the target culture. To determine the position of the translations in the Czech context and their potential effect on the culture, the thesis uses the polysystem theory which seems to be the most convenient tool as it studies to what extent translation literature affects domestic literature.

Optimization Of NMR Experiments Using Genetic Algorithm : Applications In Quantum Infomation Processing, Design Of Composite Operators And Quantitative ExperimentsManu, V S 12 1900 (has links) (PDF)
Genetic algorithms (GA) are stochastic global search methods based on the
mechanics of natural biological evolution, proposed by John Holland in 1975. Here
in this thesis, we have exploited possible utilities of Genetic Algorithm optimization
in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) experiments. We have performed
(i ) Pulse sequence generation and optimization for NMR Quantum Information
Processing, (ii ) efficient creation of NOON states, (iii ) Composite operator design
and (iv ) delay optimization for refocused quantitative INEPT. We have generated
time optimal as well as robust pulse sequences for popular quantum gates. A
Matlab package is developed for basic Target unitary operator to pulse sequence
optimization and is explained with an example.
Chapter 1 contains a brief introduction to NMR, Quantum computation and Genetic
algorithm optimization. Experimental unitary operator decomposition using
Genetic Algorithm is explained in Chapter 2. Starting from a two spin homonu-
clear system (5-Bromofuroic acid), we have generated hard pulse sequences for
performing (i ) single qubit rotation, (ii ) controlled NOT gates and (iii ) pseudo
pure state creation, which demonstrates universal quantum computation in such
systems. The total length of the pulse sequence for the single qubit rotation of an
angle π/2 is less than 500µs, whereas the conventional method (using a selective
soft pulse) would need a 2ms shaped pulse. This substantial shortening in time
can lead to a significant advantage in quantum circuits. We also demonstrate the
creation of Long Lived Singlet State and other Bell states, directly from thermal
equilibrium state, with the shortest known pulse sequence. All the pulse sequences
generated here are generic i.e., independent of the system and the spectrometer.
We further generalized this unitary operator decomposition technique for a variable
operators termed as Fidelity Profile Optimization (FPO) (Chapter 3) and
performed quantum simulations of Hamiltonian such as Heisenberg XY interaction
and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. Exact phase (φ) dependent experimental
unitary decompositions of Controlled-φ and Controlled Controlled-φ are solved
using first order FPO. Unitary operator decomposition for experimental quantum
simulation of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction in the presence of Heisenberg XY
interaction is solved using second order FPO for any relative strengths of interactions
(γ) and evolution time (τ ). Experimental gate time for this decomposition
is invariant under γ or τ , which can be used for relaxation independent studies of
the system dynamics. Using these decompositions, we have experimentally verified
the entanglement preservation mechanism suggested by Hou et al. [Annals of
Physics, 327 292 (2012)].
NOON state or Schrodinger cat state is a maximally entangled N qubit state
with superposition of all individual qubits being at |0 and being at |1 . NOON
states have received much attention recently for their high precession phase
measurements, which enables the design of high sensitivity sensors in optical interfer-
ometry and NMR [Jones et al. Science, 324 1166(2009)]. We have used Genetic
algorithm optimization for efficient creation of NOON states in NMR (Chapter 4).
The decompositions are, (i ) a minimal in terms of required experimental resources
– radio frequency pulses and delays – and have (ii ) good experimental fidelity.
A composite pulse is a cluster of nearly connected rf pulses which emulate the
effect of a simple spin operator with robust response over common experimental
imperfections. Composite pulses are mainly used for improving broadband de-
coupling, population inversion, coherence transfer and in nuclear overhauser effect
experiments. Composite operator is a generalized idea where a basic operator
(such as rotation or evolution of zz coupling) is made robust against common
experimental errors (such as inhomogeneity / miscalibration of rf power or errror
in evaluation of zz coupling strength) by using a sequence of basic operators
available for the system. Using Genetic Algorithm optimization, we have designed
and experimentally verified following composite operators, (i ) broadband rotation
pulses, (ii ) rf inhomogeneity compensated rotation pulses and (iii ) zz evolution
operator with robust response over a range of zz coupling strengths (Chapter 5).
We also performed rf inhomogeneity compensated Controlled NOT gate.
Extending Genetic Algorithm optimization in classical NMR applications, we have
improved the quantitative refocused constant-time INEPT experiment (Q-INEPT-
CT) of M¨kel¨ et al. [JMR 204(2010) 124-130] with various optimization constraints
. The improved ‘average polarization transfer’ and ‘min-max difference’
of new delay sets effectively reduces the experimental time by a factor of two
(compared with Q-INEPT-CT, M¨kel¨ et al.) without compromising on accuracy
(Chapter 6). We also introduced a quantitative spectral editing technique based
on average polarization transfer. These optimized quantitative experiments are
also described in Chapter 6.
Time optimal pulse sequences for popular quantum gates such as, (i ) Controlled
Hadamard (C-H) gate, (ii ) Controlled-Controlled-NOT (CCNOT) Gate and (iii )
Controlled SWAP (C-S) gate are optimized using Genetic Algorithm (Appendix.
A). We also generated optimal sequences for Quantum Counter circuits, Quantum
Probability Splitter circuits and efficient creation of three spin W state. We
have developed a Matlab package based on GA optimization for three spin target
operator to pulse sequence generator. The package is named as UOD (Unitary
Operator Decomposition) is explained with an example of Controlled SWAP gate
in Appendix. B.
An algorithm based on quantum phase estimation, which discriminates quantum
states non-destructively within a set of arbitrary orthogonal states, is described
and experimentally verified by a NMR quantum information processor (Appendix.
C). The procedure is scalable and can be applied to any set of orthogonal states.
Scalability is demonstrated through Matlab simulation.

"Gender trouble" westernien : les représentations genrées dans les westerns de l'âge d'or étasunien (1948-1962)Lemieux Lefebvre, Catherine 12 1900 (has links)
Les westerns de l’âge d’or étasunien (1948-1962) mettent en scène un "gender trouble" en créant des personnages de femmes et d’hommes qui empruntent les uns et les autres aux caractéristiques genrées associées par la société nord-américaine et occidentale en général aux genres binaires du féminin et du masculin. Ce trouble genré se développe entre autres par la volonté de trois hommes de recréer la cellule familiale nucléaire conventionnelle dans "Red River" (1948) de Howard Hawks, par le rapport de peur et d’oppression du groupe social sur les individus dans "High Noon" (1952) de Fred Zinnemann et "Johnny Guitar" (1954) de Nicholas Ray, ainsi que par la rencontre opposant l’homme de l’Est et l’homme de l’Ouest dont les idéologies et les valeurs divergent dans "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" (1962) de John Ford. / Golden Age American westerns movies (1948-1962) display "gender trouble" by creating male and female characters who borrow gendered characteristics from one another. In North American and Western societies en general, these characteristics are associated with binary feminine and masculine gender constructions. For instance, "gender trouble" develops in three men's attempt to recreate a conventional nuclear family cell in Howard Hawk's "Red River" (1948), in a social group's fearful and oppressive dynamic in Fred Zinnemann's "High Noon" (1952) and Nicholas Ray's "Johnny Guitar" (1954) and in the meeting between Eastern and Western men whose ideologies and values clash in John Ford's "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" (1962).
