I intended to identify whether the pattern of body size distribution in these groups follow this rule. To reach the goal, the Atlantic Forest was divided into 123 squares (110km x110km). So, I calculated the average body size and the passerines richness in each square. Environmental variables employed as predictors were temperature, precipitation and space. The analysis of Linear Regression and, MantelCorrelationwere used. I observed that passerines are positively correlated to temperature and precipitation. On the other hand, latitude is not correlated to Passeri nor to Tyrannidae. I concluded that, in general, all Atlantic Forest passerines follow the Bergmann Rule are in consonance with the Bergmann Rule. In general, researches test/employ the Bergman Rule in more global patterns for passerines. So, we found no previous researches focusing specifically on the Atlantic Forest. In this light, this research is meaningful to this geographic scale, especially because of the uniqueness of this South America ancient ecosystem, the Atlantic Forest. / O objetivo deste estudo foi testar a Regra de Bergmann a nível de ordem, subordem, e principais famílias (Furnariidae, Thamnophilidae, Tyrannidae e Thraupidae) de Passeriformes florestais da Mata Atlântica a fim de identificar se os padrões de distribuição do tamanho corporal nesses grupos seguem essa regra. A Mata Atlântica foi dividida em 123 quadrículas (110km x 110km) e foi calculado o tamanho corporal médio e a riqueza dos Passeriformes em cada quadrícula. As variáveis ambientais utilizadas como preditoras foram a temperatura, a precipitação e o espaço geográfico. Utilizamos as análises de Regressão linear e correlação de Mantel. Desta forma encontramos que os Passeriformes são correlacionados positivamente com a temperatura e a precipitação. A latitude não se correlacionou com Passeri e Tyrannidae.Ao final concluímos que em geral todos os Passeriformes florestais da Mata Atlântica seguem a Regra de Bergmann. Em geral as pesquisas voltadas para a Regra de Bergmann tratam de padrões mais globais para aves. E, maisregionalmente, como na Mata Atlântica, nada foi testado quanto a isto e, assim, este estudo se torna relevante para essa escala geográfica. Ainda mais devido a singularidade da Mata Atlântica, que é um ecossistema antigo na América do Sul.

The aim of this diploma thesis is to trace the utopia and disenchantment of four selected Italian writers who spent some time in Czechoslovakia and testified about their experiences. We try to achieve that by using a conception presented by Claudio Magris in his essay Utopia e disincanto. Firstly, the substance of the terminological pair utopia and disenchantment is explicated. The analysis is based on following works: Il pane rosso by Giovanni Passeri, Praga: appunti dalla memoria by Orazio Pizzigoni, I fatti di Praga (as well as L`Ora di Praga) and Praga magica by Angelo M. Ripellino and Il tempo fra cane e lupo by Vittorio Sermonti. Passeri and Pizzigoni arrived in Czechoslovakia at the turn of the 1950s and 1960s to ascertain how real socialism functioned. Ripellino and Sermonti arrived at the time of the Prague Spring, therefore their writings relate to this period. The thesis is divided into two parts according to historical stages and different motivations of the authors. There are four subheadings, one for each writer, containing analysis of the selected writings, biography of the author and characterization of their dreams, expectations and subsequent disenchantment. These findings are summarized through a brief recapitulation in the last chapter.
