This thesis deals with the possibility of the inscription of the Church of the Most Sacred Heart of Our Lord in Vinohrady to the UNESCO World Heritage List. The church is a piece of work of the well-known Slovenian architect Josip Plečnik. The church's nomination is being prepared in cooperation with Slovenia where Plečnik's churches are also aimed to be nominated to the UNESCO World Heritage List. The work is focused on evaluation of outstanding universal value based on which the church meets some established criteria that are essential for the nomination to the UNESCO World Heritage List. Moreover, it also warns about the possible impacts which are closely connected with the inscription to this prestigious list. Thus, it suggests some recommendations which could eliminate those negative consequences. The final part of the work concentrates on proposing some thematic projects that strive to connect this church to the religion tourism in the Czech Republic and in Europe. The goal of these projects is to increase the awareness of this church among the public.

Partial Nitritation/Anammox process (deammonification process), by which occurs oxidation of ammonium to nitrogen gas by autotrophic bacteria in anaerobic conditions, considered to be cost-effective and environmentally friendly method of nitrogen removal. Present research work focuses on achieving a high nitrogen removal degree, thanks to Anammox bacteria, while providing the best performance of the ongoing process. Integrated fixed-film activated sludge (IFAS) reactor was supplied with the main stream of the wastewater after UASB reactor, characterized by low concentration of nitrogen and organic matter. The bacteria ability to accommodate, were tested in the biofilm and in the activated sludge, depending on the different stages in which the process were being conducted. Batch test, such as Specific Anammox Activity (SAA), Nitrate Uptake Rate (NUR) and Oxygen Uptake Rate (OUR), were used for the evaluation of activity of various groups of bacteria. On the basis of laboratory analysis verified the values obtained from the batch tests. It was determined that a high degree of nitrogen removal (92% of NH4-N) was achieved thanks to the dominant activity of the Anammox bacteria, with low participation of other groups of bacteria. It was also proved, that Anammox bacteria activity were overwhelming in the biofilm. Dominant role of Ammonium Oxidizing Bacteria (AOB) was associated with high activity of Anammox bacteria, which together satisfyingly out-competed Nitrite Oxidizing Bacteria (NOB) and heterotrophic bacteria. It has been shown that Anammox bacteria quickly adapt to the new conditions and they are able to assume a dominant role, even in the case of inoculation of the reactor with the sludge from SBR. This allows conclude, that in the case of operational problems, the reactor can be supplied from another source, in order not to inhibit the process.

Since the advent of the environmental crisis, some writers have raised concerns with the moral influence of Christian scripture and interpretive traditions, such as the medieval book of nature, a hermeneutic in which nature and scripture are "read" in reference to one another. Scripture, they argue, has tended to stifle sacred relationships with nature as a non-human other. This thesis argues that such perspectives are reductive of the sacred quality of scripture. Environmental perspectives should be concerned with the desacralization of religious texts in addition to nature. Chapter one suggests that two questions surrounding the medieval book of nature's history can help us address ways that such perspectives reduce religious interpretation of sacred texts. The first question is the tension between manifestation and proclamation, or the question of how scripture and nature reveal sacred meanings. The second is the problem of evil, or the question of where evil and suffering come from. It also proposes that Shakespeare's As You Like It and religious philosophy, particularly Paul Ricoeur's writings, can help us address these problems and provide a contemporary religious perspective of the "book of nature." Drawing on scenes in the play in which nature is "read" as a book and Ricoeur's essay on "Manifestation and Proclamation," chapter two argues how manifestation often works interdependently with proclamation. Chapter three discusses how anthropocentric worldviews in which natural entities are exploited also distort interpretive relationships with scripture. Overcoming desacralization requires giving up desires to suppress contingencies, particularly suffering, in nature and in interpreting religious texts. Only as the characters in As You Like It accept contingencies are they able to engage hidden sources of hope, which is comparable to the need to let go of mastery in interpretation Ricoeur describes. Chapter four discusses problems with attempts to uncover the origins of the environmental crisis by discussing what Ricoeur writes about the problems with theodicy and Jean-Luc Marion's phenomenology of evil. Assumptions that specific human origins for evil can be blamed confirm deceptively human-centered worldviews and can mask valuable messages about how to morally respond to suffering that are taught in Judeo-Christian narratives.

I denna uppsats ämnar jag undersöka hur ensamhet och alienation framställs i två av John Ajvide Lindqvists romaner: Rörelsen (2016) och Verkligheten (2022). Analysen kommer att genomföras med hjälp av tre samhällsfilosofiska begrepp: kollektivism, folkhem och individualism. Fokus ligger på att utforska hur ensamhet och alienation samverkar med de samhälleliga kontexter som presenteras i vardera verk. Eftersom Rörelsen utspelar sig 1985 och Verkligheten omkring 2022, utgör den tidsmässiga diskrepansen ett underlag för stora delar av analysen. Detta fördjupas och konceptualiseras mot bakgrund av 1980-talets liberala individualism och den rådande norm som den idag gett upphov till. Analysen följer berättelserna kronologiskt och fokuserar på huvudkaraktärerna och deras känslor kring att leva i samhällen som till övervägande del drivs av framgång och egocentrism. Jag undersöker hur detta formar dem som sociala varelser, men också hur deras brist på gemenskap får patologiska konsekvenser. Sammanfattningsvis drar jag slutsatsen att Ajvide Lindqvists romaner skildrar ensamhet och alienation som tätt sammankopplade med den politiska kontext som förekommer i vardera roman. Samt att denna kontext grundar sig på den politik som kan antas vara framträdande för respektive samtider och således också är en gestaltning av den verklighet vi levde/lever i.

[pt] Esta tese tem como objeto o Liceu Feminino da Associação Feminina Beneficente Instrutiva de São Paulo, a AFBI, criado por Anália Franco. Um estudo sobre o curso de formação de professoras que tinha como objetivo encaminhá-las para as casas maternais fundadas pela Associação na cidade e no interior de São Paulo, na primeira década do século XX. A pesquisa analisou a trajetória de Anália Franco como professora e diretora da AFBI, o curso, o programa, aspectos relacionados à formação do professor para as escolas maternais, identificando os objetivos, avanços e as dificuldades encontradas por Anália Franco na manutenção do curso. O recorte temporal adotado é o período que se estende de 1902 até 1917 de acordo com as fontes encontradas, o que nos permitiu relacionar o curso junto a um momento promissor de implementação de diversas reformas instrutivas diretamente relacionadas aos ideais republicanos de civilidade e regeneração. A metodologia utilizada foi a análise documental das diferentes fontes: os periódicos encontrados no acervo digital da Hemeroteca da Biblioteca Nacional, as revistas Album das Meninas e A Voz Maternal publicadas por Anália Franco, o Manual para professores e o Manual para mães, além de alguns Relatórios da AFBI, digitalizados no site da Fundação Carlos Chagas. Ainda fizeram parte da documentação analisada, os Anuários do Ensino encontrados no Arquivo do Estado de São Paulo e a obra esgotada de memórias de uma ex-aluna da Associação, editada em 1959, além das produções acadêmicas, as teses e dissertações sobre a educadora e sua associação que antecederam esta tese. Através da análise entrecruzada das fontes consultadas foi possível verificamos que, com o Liceu, Anália Franco objetivou atender as casas maternais com professores formados para o segmento da educação infantil. Enfrentou problemas de ordem econômica, relacionados à subvenção da obra, ao pouco interesse vocacional das asiladas em serem professoras, à dificuldade de materiais pedagógicos para o curso, além de alunas que precisavam ser alfabetizadas durante o curso, fatores que prejudicavam a demanda da formação urgente para compor o quadro de professoras para as casas maternais e que a fizeram criar estratégias de solução, priorizando outra condução que não o da formação técnica, inicialmente planejada. Um anúncio convocando candidatas interessadas para serem professoras substitutas foi o indicativo de solução que encontramos na pesquisa, indicando que a formação passaria a ser através de orientações e manuais. Através da pesquisa localizamos algumas ex-alunas que concluíram o curso e foram professoras da rede de escolas da AFBI. Mapear parte da obra educacional da educadora Anália Franco, concentrando a pesquisa na formação pedagógica de professoras para as casas maternais da AFBI pode configurar uma contribuição para os estudos sobre a profissionalização docente de um corpo profissional especial – o magistério primário e o das casas maternais, estudo relevante para o campo da história da educação, em especial para a história da profissão docente. / [en] This thesis has as its object the Women s High School of the Associação Feminina Beneficente Instructiva de São Paulo, AFBI, created by Anália Franco. A study on the teacher training course that aimed to send them to the nursery schools founded by the Association in the city and countryside of São Paulo, in the first decade of the 20th century. The research analyzed Anália Franco s trajectory as a teacher and director of AFBI, the course, the program, aspects related to teacher training for nursery schools, identifying the objectives, advances and difficulties encountered by Anália Franco in maintaining the course. The time frame adopted is the period that extends from 1902 to 1917 according to the sources found, which allowed us to relate the course to a promising moment of implementation of several instructive reforms directly related to the republican ideals of civility and regeneration. The methodology used was the documentary analysis of different sources: the periodicals found in the digital collection of the Hemeroteca of the National Library, the magazines Album das Meninas and A Voz Maternal published by Anália Franco, the Manual for teachers and the Manual for mothers, in addition to some AFBI reports, digitized on the Carlos Chagas Foundation website. Also, part of the analyzed documentation were the Teaching Yearbooks found in the São Paulo State Archive and the out-of-print memoir of a former student of the Association, published in 1959, in addition to the academic productions, the theses and dissertations about the educator and their association that preceded this thesis. Through a cross-analysis of the sources consulted, it was possible to verify that, with the Liceu, Anália Franco aimed to serve nursery homes with teachers trained for the early childhood segment. She faced economic problems, related to the subsidy for the work, the low vocational interest of the asylum seekers in becoming teachers, the difficulty in pedagogical materials for the course, in addition to students who needed to be literate during the course, factors that hindered the demand for urgent training to compose the teaching staff for the nursery schools and which made her create solution strategies, prioritizing another approach other than technical training, initially planned. An advertisement calling for interested candidates to be substitute teachers was the indication of a solution we found in the research, indicating that training would be through guidelines and manuals. Through research, we located some former students who completed the course and were teachers in the AFBI school network. Mapping part of the educational work of educator Anália Franco, focusing the research on the pedagogical training of teachers for the AFBI nursery schools, can constitute a contribution to studies on the teaching professionalization of a special professional body – primary teaching and nursery schools, study relevant to the field of history of education, especially to the history of the teaching profession. / [fr] Cette thèse a pour objet le Lycée des Femmes de l Associação Feminina Beneficente Instructiva de São Paulo, AFBI, créé par Anália Franco. Une étude sur la formation des enseignants qui visait à les envoyer dans les écoles maternelles fondées par l Association dans la ville et l intérieur de São Paulo, dans la première décennie du XXe siècle. La recherche a analysé le parcours d Anália Franco en tant qu enseignante et directrice de l AFBI, le cours, le programme, les aspects liés à la formation des enseignants des écoles maternelles, en identifiant les objectifs, les avancées et les difficultés rencontrées par Anália Franco dans le maintien du cours. La temporalité adoptée est la période qui s étend de 1902 à 1917 selon les sources trouvées, ce qui a permis de relier le cours à un moment prometteur de mise en œuvre de plusieurs réformes instructives directement liées aux idéaux républicains de civilité et de régénération. La méthodologie utilisée a été l analyse documentaire de différentes sources: les périodiques trouvés dans la collection numérique de l Hemeroteca de la Bibliothèque Nationale, les revues Album das Meninas et A Voz Maternal publiées par Anália Franco, le Manuel pour les enseignants et le Manuel pour les mères, en plus de quelques rapports AFBI, numérisés sur le site de la Fondation Carlos Chagas. Font également partie de la documentation analysée les Annuaires d Enseignement trouvés dans les Archives de l État de São Paulo et les mémoires épuisés d un ancien élève de l Association, publiés en 1959, en plus des productions académiques, des thèses et des mémoires sur le éducateur et leur association qui ont précédé cette thèse. Grâce à une analyse croisée des sources consultées, il a été possible de vérifier qu avec le Liceu, Anália Franco visait à desservir les crèches avec des enseignants formés pour le segment de la petite enfance. Elle a été confrontée à des problèmes économiques, liés à la subvention pour le travail, au faible intérêt professionnel des demandeurs d asile pour devenir enseignants, à la difficulté d avoir du matériel pédagogique pour le cours, en plus du fait que les étudiants devaient être alphabétisés pendant le cours, facteurs qui l ont empêché la demande urgente de formation pour composer le personnel enseignant des écoles maternelles et qui l a amenée à élaborer des stratégies de solutions, en privilégiant une autre approche que la formation technique, initialement prévue. Une annonce appelant des candidats intéressés à devenir enseignants suppléants était l indication d une solution que nous avons trouvée dans la recherche, indiquant que la formation se ferait au moyen de lignes directrices et de manuels. Grâce à des recherches, nous avons localisé certains anciens élèves qui ont suivi le cours et qui étaient enseignants dans le réseau scolaire AFBI. Cartographier une partie du travail éducatif de l éducatrice Anália Franco, en concentrant la recherche sur la formation pédagogique des enseignants des écoles maternelles AFBI, peut constituer une contribution aux études sur la professionnalisation pédagogique d un corps professionnel spécial – enseignement primaire et écoles maternelles, étude pertinente pour le domaine de l histoire de l éducation, en particulier pour l histoire de la profession enseignante.
