Bakgrund: Padeltennis, en sport som på kort tid ökat explosionsartat i Sverige och lockat till sig många utövare- unga som gamla, tränade som otränade, kvinnor som män. Att börja med en ny sport kan innebära nya påfrestningar på kroppen, däribland många repetitiva slag som kan leda till överbelastningsskador samt akuta skador som det visat sig i studier för idrottare. Målet med denna studie är att öka kunskapen för det skadeförebyggande arbetet samt rehabiliteringsprocessen för denna målgrupp. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka skadepanorama samt identifiera de främst förekommande skadelokalisationerna inom padeltennis för att kartlägga och analysera skadorna i förhållande till kön, ålder och nivå hos padeltennisspelare. Metod: En kvantitativ kunskapsansats med retrospektiv design valdes. Insamlingen av data skedde genom delning av en egenutformad digital enkät både genom sociala medier samt padelhallar runt om i landet. Resultat: 610 personer deltog i studien varpå 56,5% uppgav att de haft en skada till följd av padelspel det senaste året. Den kroppsdel som varit mest utsatt för överbelastningsskador var armbåge medan fot/fotled hade flest akuta skador. Analys av skadefrekvensen visade ingen märkbar skillnad bland könen, däremot hade de äldre åldersgrupperna samt de högre spelarnivåerna något större skadefrekvens. Konklusion: Denna studie kan ses som ett första steg för ett skadeförebyggande arbete inom padel. Likt andra studier visar denna att skador inom padel förekommer, dock behövs det fler standardiserade studier inom ämnet för att lättare jämföra resultat av framtida undersökningar.

[pt] Este trabalho compõe-se de diferentes modos de estruturação textual, acompanhando uma tendência pós-moderna. Através da fabricação de suas memórias pessoais, o autor apresenta e avalia a atuação do CEP 20.000, de que participa como coordenador, desde a fundação, em 1990. A perspectiva crítica é a do observador da cidade, uma espécie de flâneur do panorama cultural, de onde colhe a matéria para sua escrita, produzida em intercâmbio com uma rede de amigos. A primeira pessoa do discurso quer-se propositalmente frágil, empenhada na experiência de deixar-se atravessar por uma pluralidade de vozes e pontos de vista. Ao longo dos capítulos, misturam-se crônicas, desenhos, e-mails, cartas, entrevistas, notícias de jornal, fotografias, poemas, contos e fragmentos de outros textos, inéditos ou já publicados, cuja seleção e articulação foi planejada de modo a dialogar com o discurso acadêmico. Trata-se de uma proposta alternativa de trabalho escritural adequado a uma compreensão ampla da história do presente. / [en] This work is composed by different modes of text framing, according to a postmodern tendency. While weaving his fictionalized memories, the author presents and evaluates the performance of CEP 20.000 which he has helped founding, in 1990, and coordinates till this day. His perspective is that of the spectator of the town life, a kind of flâneur in the cultural scenery, where he gathers up the subjects for his writing produced in interchange with a net of friends. The first person of speech intends to be fragile since it is meant as an experience of textuality intertwined by a plurality of voices and viewpoints. The chapters are built in blocs alternating with a miscellany of chronicles, drawings, e-mails, letters, intervews, news, photographs, poems, short stories and fragments of other types of texts, published or not. The choice and articulation of this material was planned to establish a dialogue with the accademic discourse. The goal of the essay is to propose a writing strategy adequate to a broad understanding of the history of the present.

[pt] A dissertação Estratégia de Design em Empreendimentos de Moda - As Tramas do Sucesso Empresarial no Design de Moda na Cidade do Rio de Janeiro tem como objetivo identificar os elementos da gestão do design de moda aplicados aos empreendimentos de moda da cidade desde o seu surgimento, nos anos 60, ainda que a aplicação destes elementos tenha se dado muitas vezes de forma intuitiva pelos seus gestores. E, assim, avaliar a importância da metodologia da Gestão em Design aplicada aos negócios de moda. A pesquisa ambienta o sistema de comercialização prêt à porter, posteriormente, na própria cidade do Rio de Janeiro, primeiro realçando os elementos locais que se traduziram em um estilo carioca, para em seguida traçar um panorama do surgimento e desenvolvimento da moda na cidade e como eles se materializaram na indumentária e paralelamente num estilo próprio de vestir. A partir daí, são elencados alguns elementos de gestão em design (com foco em branding, gestão de marcas) que se aplicam à indústria do vestuário e, posteriormente, associando a pesquisa bibliográfica à verificação a aplicabilidade destes elementos citados em uma pesquisa exploratória, através das entrevistas qualitativas. É aqui, então que se materializa a pertinência destas ferramentas, técnicas e estratégias organizadas como uma orquestra, de forma a conduzir a marca, a notoriedade e a excelência junto ao mercado. / [en] The dissertation Design strategies in Fashion Enterprises - The interprises sucssess weft in fashion design at Rio de Janeiro city, focuses on the Business Success Stories (plots) of Fashion Design in the city of Rio de Janeiro with the aim to the identify elements of management in the field of fashion design and their application within the undertakings of fashion here since its emergence in the nineteen sixties. Furthermore how the application of these elements were often introduced intuitively by its managers, herewith evaluating the relevance of design management epistemology applied to business generically. This research depicts the overall ambience of the fashion system on a whole and subsequently that of Rio de Janeiro itself. It does so by, first emphasizing the local elements that were translated into a carioca style and then, by describing the origins and development of fashion design in this city and finally, the materialization of its clothing industry. At the same time it will describe how it developed into a local dressing style. From this point on it lists the elements of management in design that are applicable to the fashion industry, with branding management emphasis, and thereafter, validating it with the bibliographic research and qualitative field research of the cited elements. This is where the relevancy of the tools, techniques and strategies materialize, organized as an orchestra, in such a way as to conduct the brand and carry it onto the absolute renown and excellence of the market.

In this study was elaborated an overview of the current situation of industrial and mining solid waste, contributing directly to supply the lack of data that subsidize the elaboration of policies that strengthen the guidelines of administration in Goiás, and also contribute with the proposition of mechanisms to structure the state information system of solid waste. For this, information was collected in several databases, official (Department of the Environment, infrastructure, Cities and Metropolitan Issues, State Treasury Office, National Department of Mineral Research) and non-official (Goiás Federation of Industries) databases and a primary data collection system has been developed so that the information was as close to reality as possible. The databases accessed was compared and analyzed. To carry out the review of waste destinations was necessary some adjustment and revaluation of the coding used in the process that received these wastes. Even with the establishment of a mechanism with closed answers, it was still necessary to evaluate what was declared to carry out an overview that matches to the reality. After the data compilation, it was possible to establish results of estimative for the generation, composition and disposal of industrial and mining waste in the State of Goiás. A comparison with these results with the 2001 inventory data was carried out, and to complete the state overview, the data of the authorizations for the waste entries in the state of Goiás issued in 2013 were collected. Finally, there was an analysis of the strategic areas for installation of industrial waste centers within the state territory. According to the results obtained were estimated one generation of 8.481.680 tons of industrial waste and 10.781.011 tons of mining waste. As the destination, the destination for another forms of reuse and recycling was the most representative with almost 38% from the total of industrial waste generated, whereas, the largest portion of the mining waste was destined to landfills of the own generators of waste, approximately 75% of the total. This study demonstrated that one of the difficulties encountered in collecting information is to perform the inventory data involving the largest number of possible waste generators and allow to conclude that the results found until the time can`t be considerate satisfactory, but make a landmark for the consolidation of solid waste data collected in Goiás. Therefore it is important to promote more comprehensive training throughout the territory and the establishment of mandatory participation in data reporting. In addition, it is essential that the States and Union work together so that the databases can be compatible to the point that they can be manipulated and can produce reliable results. / O crescimento do Estado de Goiás deve vir acompanhado de uma gestão que busque equilíbrio entre os setores, econômico, social e ambiental. Neste último, inclui-se a gestão adequada dos resíduos gerados no território estadual. Neste estudo buscou-se a elaboração de um panorama da atual situação dos resíduos sólidos industriais e de mineração, contribuindo diretamente para suprir a ausência de dados que subsidiam a elaboração de políticas que fortaleçam as diretrizes de gestão para Goiás, além de cooperar com a proposição de mecanismos para estruturar o sistema de informação estadual de resíduos sólidos. Para tal, buscou-se informações em diversos bancos de dados, oficiais (Secretaria de Meio Ambiente, Recursos Hídricos, Infraestrutura, Cidades, Assuntos Metropolitanos, Secretaria da Fazenda, Departamento Nacional de Pesquisa Mineral) e não oficiais (Federação das Indústrias do Estado de Goiás), e foi desenvolvido mecanismo de coleta de dados primários para que as informações estivessem o mais próximo possível da realidade. Os bancos de dados acessados foram comparados e os dados foram organizados e analisados. Para realizar o levantamento das destinações foram necessárias algumas adaptações e reavaliações da codificação usada nos processos que receberam estes resíduos. Mesmo com o estabelecimento de um mecanismo com respostas fechadas ainda assim foi necessário avaliar o que foi declarado para realizar um diagnóstico que correspondesse à realidade. Após compilação dos dados foi possível estabelecer resultados referentes às estimativas de geração com base em tipologia das atividades e porte dos empreendimentos e destinação dos resíduos industriais e de mineração no Estado de Goiás. Realizou-se a comparação com os dados obtidos no inventário de 2001 e, para completar o panorama estadual, foram levantados dados referentes as autorizações de destinação de resíduos no Estado emitidas no ano de 2013. Por fim, fez-se uma análise das regiões estratégicas para instalação de pólos industriais de resíduos dentro do território estadual. De acordo com os resultados obtidos, foram estimadas uma geração de 8.481.680 toneladas de resíduos industriais e 10.781.011 toneladas de resíduos de mineração no Estado de Goiás para o ano de 2013. Quanto a destinação, para os resíduos industriais a destinação para outras formas de reutilização, reciclagem, recuperação, dentre elas incorporação em outros processos industriais foi a mais representativa com quase 38% do total e para os resíduos de mineração a maior parcela foi destinada para aterros dos próprios geradores representando cerca de 75% do total. Este trabalho demonstrou que uma das dificuldades encontradas no levantamento de informações é realizar a inventariação de dados que envolva o maior número de geradores de resíduos possível o que permite concluir que os resultados encontrados até o momento não podem ser considerados satisfatórios, mas já estabelece um marco na consolidação na inventariação de resíduos no Estado. Conclui-se que é importante promover treinamentos mais abrangentes ao longo do território e o estabelecimento de caráter obrigatório de participação na declaração de dados. Além disso, é essencial que os Estados e União trabalhem em conjunto para que os bancos de dados sejam compatíveis permitindo que possam ser manipulados de maneira eficiente e produzam resultados confiáveis.

The subject of this study is August Strindberg’s interaction with the visual media of his day. Its dual aim is to examine Strindberg’s work in the light of media history and to allow Strindberg’s work in turn to illuminate the media history of the fin de siècle. Taking its cue from the commonplace scholarly observation that Strindberg’s drama, particularly that of his later phase, is strikingly “cinematic”, it asks: What do such comparisons really tell us about Strindberg’s art and what, if anything, do they tell us about cinema? The thesis of this study is that the putatively “cinematic” style of Strindberg’s writings can only be understood against the backdrop of a mass culture, oriented towards the visual sense, which was undergoing rapid expansion at the turn of the last century. In devising his “dream play techniques”, it argues, Strindberg both drew on and reacted against various image-based modes of representation that had become extremely widespread in the late nineteenth century. The loss of reality that is so prominent a feature of works such as To Damascus (1898) or A Dream Play (1901) should in this sense be regarded as marked by an experience of mediatization, that is, the steady incorporation of all aspects of daily life by mass media technologies. Shifting the spotlight away from cinema, a critical encounter with Strindberg’s work can cast light on largely overlooked media practices such as magic lantern or Sciopticon exhibition, panoramic entertainments, instantaneous photography, and the introduction of the halftone process in printing. At the same time as it unsettles received notions of Strindberg’s drama as “cinematic”, the study seeks to show how the writings of this revolutionary artist can provide fresh material for a reassessment of life in a media-saturated age.

Over eighty polar-themed exhibitions were held in Britain between 1819 and the 1930s, a time of intense exploration of both the Arctic and Antarctic. These varied from panoramas and human exhibits to displays of ‘relics', equipment, photographs and artwork, waxworks and displays shown as part of a Great Exhibition. This period also saw the creation of the first dedicated polar museums. These displays were visited by thousands of people throughout the country, helping to mediate the subject of exploration for a public audience. Despite this, the role exhibitions played in forming popular views of the polar regions has not been fully assessed. This thesis addresses this gap. It is the first to consider all the polar exhibitions held during this period as a collective body, making it possible to study how they developed over time and in response to changing circumstances. The thesis uses a variety of archival sources to both reconstruct the displays and place them in their historical and museological contexts. The study shows that exhibitions evolved in response to changes both in the museum sector and in exploration culture. It demonstrates that, while they were originally identified with the shows of the entertainment industry, polar exhibitions began to take on more of the characteristics of museum displays. At the same time their dominant themes changed; the natural world was relegated in favour of ideas relating to the human experience of the regions such as heroism, adventure and everyday life in an exotic environment. While other media may have been more effective in disseminating ideas about exploration, visitors could find the experience of visiting an exhibition more compelling. This thesis contributes to our understanding of this distinct role that exhibitions played in presenting the polar regions to the British public.

This work is focussed on different unwanted effects that damage a digitally acquired image. An image acquired using a digital camera can suffer from a series of defects. First, the noise is concerned. It occures due to discretisation. Next, there are the defects including vignetting, radial image distortion, chromatic aberration. In my thesis I also worked on backlight image compensation and panorama creation from an image sequence. For backlight images we need to increase the brightness in the dark parts of the image, so that the details became more visible. At panorama creation we are careful about brightness evenness in partial images, which is usually not conserved and consequently we try to find a suitable boundary-line to connect images and smooth it. The fundamental part of my work was writing the algorithms that are able to compensate these defects at least partly. For this aim I took use of the Matlab environment.
