Heroes Are Born Then Made is a theatre piece involving live actors on stage, and live music originating from an orchestra pit. The script and music is original. The music is meant to literally depict actions and emotions on stage whether the actors are present or not. The duration of the entire production is about two and one-half hours long. Six main actors are used with additional walk-ons. Sixteen musicians are required to make up the orchestra which is organized into a woodwind quartet, a brass trio, a string quartet, a piano, and a percussion quartet. The play is based on the author's conception of how people tend to treat each other when someone is caught at a disadvantage. Specifically it is a depiction of the conflict involved when the minor characters discover that the main character is trying to do something quite different from their definition of "normal."

The Remembering, an original drama set in rural Georgia in 1864, is about three ex-slaves, two men and an old woman, all runaways, whose fictional encounter in a deserted church sets off a series of conflicts and, significantly, incidents of remembering past conflicts which lead them to an understanding of the war, slavery, freedom, and individual responsibility. Many of the events which the slaves, naive witnesses to a great moment in history when mobilized modern warfare was being born, and the nearby Union soldiers remember reflect upon the pervasiveness, speed, and destructiveness of the new campaign. The efforts of the characters to survive in that harsh and bitter war represent one of the primary concerns of this dramatic study.

This thesis consists of a poem in the form of three related dramatic monologues in free verse. The subject of the poem is King Philip's War, an Indian war which took place in New England in 1675 and 1676.

The aim of the thesis 'Development of on-demand portals. Netflix and his original programming extension' is to map the production, marketing and distribution strategies of Netflix, the largst on- demand platform in the world, in context with the current state of linear television broadcasting. It can be pressumed, that both the on-line distribution and original content programming of on-demand platforms will contitnue to grow. The thesis examines the programming of Netflix, in regard to other international platforms and also compares the business and marketing strategies of Netflix's biggest rival - cable television HBO. The last chapter reveals current environment of on-demand distribution in the Czech Republic, in contect with Netflix's expansion on the Czech market in the newt two years and its possible operation on local market.

This thesis deals with dramatizations of literary works that were introduced at the National Theatre after1990. Compares prose texts with newly formed theatrical texts. It also focuses on the transformation of interpretations of individual works, which occurred as a result of dramatization. For each unfinished work also always gives relevant circumstances relating to the production.

In the introduction, doctoral thesis as a complex technological project uses the summary title Stability of production. Stability of production is defined as a maintaining the required properties of the system over a given time period. Stability of production, based on the literature study included: – generally known systems and concepts, for example Process Stability, System Stability, Toyota Production System, Lean Manufacturing, etc. – less-known systems and concepts, for example Maintaining the fidelity of the production program, Stable order-sequence concept. The practical part of the doctoral thesis is focused on the less-known concept: Stable order-sequence. The task of the Stable order-sequence is to follow the sequence of orders given by the planned production program in the course of the production and at the end of production. Maintaining the sequence of the orders has a positive experience in the logistics activities between the final producer and its suppliers. As it was found by the planned experiment for a full factory plan, the sequence of orders in the material flow of original equipment manufacturer is influenced mainly by: – the cause of the removing orders from material flow, – the effect of the causes LIFO stack vs. branched material flow, – the effect of the causes LIFO stack vs. branched material flow vs. the removing from the material flow. By the analysis of Stable order-sequence, it was found that the methodology of the concept contains deficiencies. It does not state how to choose for example the size of the time period, time interval, data editing etc. By this lack, the subject can skew the results in the evaluation of the indicator PFT0 up to 4 %. Or by using of suitable adjustment, the value of the indicator PFT0 can be improved more than 50 %. To test the concept of a Stable order-sequence in practice has been designed technological project with the support of discrete-event simulation. It was about the implementation of new management logic to the stack behind the welding of original equipment manufacturer. The new logic of management was designed with an emphasis on Stable order-sequence concept, to arrange the orders in process according to the planned sequence. On the base of the functionality verification of the new stack logic, it was found that the logic affects the sequence of the orders, but not fundamentally. In tracking the hourly intervals for 25th calendar week 2013, the value of PFT0 was not improved in 37 cases, the value remains in 30 cases and the value was improved by the value of the median 18,68 % in 30 cases orders.

Le mythe de la caverne de Platon qui ouvre le livre VII de La République, plonge ses racines dans l’héritage spirituel et immémorial de l’humanité. Les multiples interprétations qui en ont été données, ont, chacune, mis en lumière un aspect particulier du mythe platonicien. Ainsi, le sens du mythe de la caverne n’est pas invariable ; bien au contraire, il est sujet au changement, car la difficulté d’interprétation qui le caractérise, ouvre la voie à une forte variabilité de la signification à donner à chacun des symboles et à la façon dont ces derniers se définissent les uns par rapport aux autres. En conséquence, la signification originale du mythe de la caverne échappe, de fait et depuis toujours, à toute la tradition philosophique interprétative ultérieure ; c’est pourquoi Heidegger a réinvesti massivement ce récit, en sautant par-dessus toutes les interprétations antérieures, afin de nous en proposer une approche originaire. Toutefois, est-il raisonnable d’affirmer que l’interprétation originaire de Heidegger donne le fin mot du sens initial du mythe ? Notre recherche se propose donc de démontrer, au contraire, que le mythe de la caverne recouvre une signification platonicienne originale qui n’a jamais été entièrement développée et exploitée par les interprètes de ce dernier. En effet, si le livre VII de La République constitue le commentaire original de Platon vis-à-vis du mythe de la caverne, ce commentaire natif platonicien pourrait recéler tous les philosophèmes métaphysiques, épistémologiques et politiques nécessaires pour éclairer, puissamment et à nouveaux frais, la symbolique du mythe de la caverne. De facto, s’en dégagerait-il une signification platonicienne originale et surtout inédite qui pourrait soit se rapprocher du sens de l’interprétation originaire de Heidegger, soit s’en éloigner de façon irréductible ? / The myth of Plato’s cave which opens Book VII of the Republic, has its roots in the age-old intellectual heritage of humanity. The various interpretations of Plato’s cave, have, each, elucidated a particular element of the Platonic myth. Thus, the meaning of the myth of the cave is not invariable ; on the contrary, it is subject to change as the particular difficulty of its interpretation paves the way for a high degree of variability in the meaning of each symbol and how it is defined in relation to the others. In fact and from the outset, the original signification of the myth of the cave has eluded the entire interpretive philosophical tradition that follows it; this is why Heidegger massively reinvested in this tale in bypassing all previous interpretations in order to offer an originary approach. But can one reasonably assert that Heidegger’s originary interpretation gives the final word on the original meaning of the myth ? This thesis intends to show, on the contrary, that the myth of the cave holds an original Platonic meaning that has never been completely developed and elaborated by its interpreters. Indeed, if Book VII of the Republic constitutes Plato’s original commentary on the myth of the cave, this native Platonic commentary could hold all of the metaphysical, epistemological and political philosophemes necessary to powerfully elucidate the symbolism of the myth of the cave in a fresh light. Would this in fact draw out an original and unprecedented Platonic meaning ? And would it approach Heidegger’s originary interpretation, or distance itself from it irreducibly ?

The aim of the study is to examine ideas surrounding copyright law and related rights appearing in the referral statements that the participants of the library sphere gave to the department writ Ds 2003:35. These ideas reflect the positions the library sphere take regarding issues surrounding the copyright law and related rights. The department writ was preceded by a directive from the European Union; Directive 2001/29/EC of the European parliament and of the council of 22 may 2001 on the harmonization of certain aspects of copyright and related rights in the information society. The writ Ds 2003:35 was later followed by a proposition from the government which was co-herent with the preceding writ. The empirical material has been analyzed with a starting point in the polarizations, artist/audience, private/public and original/copy, presented in PhD Martin Fredriksson’s book Skapandets rätt. His study shows that these polarizations have been evident in the discourse surrounding copyright in a historical retrospect and are still key ideas in the present discourse. The ideas presented by the library sphere are mainly dominated by the idea of the public good. The participants in the library sphere are critical to the imbalance of the proposed legislations, and assert that the private interests are given a dominating signification. Ideas surrounding original and copy as well as author and audience is mainly discussed from a practical point of view. The library sphere positions itself as an objective interested party who try to attain a balance in copyright law and related rights.
