This thesis examines fictional orality through the lens of register theory, and the application of these concepts in translation. Fictional orality is created by the intersection of two registers that are quite distinct in some languages and cultures: the more formal, written literary register, and the informal, spoken register. This results in an entirely new hybrid register, which seeks to balance the spontaneous, informal language of natural speech with the conventions of formal, written language. I aim to explore this hybrid register in my translation of Le coup de la girafe by Camille Bouchard. The story is told in a first-person, present-tense narration, so fictional orality is ubiquitous in the novella, and it is an excellent text to use for this purpose. In this thesis, I first lay out the theoretical framework for my translation by delving into register theory and fictional orality, and how these notions have been adapted to translation studies. Then, drawing on this framework, I discuss how I applied these concepts in my approach to the translation of Le coup de la girafe, using specific examples from the text. After this, I conclude by presenting the translation itself.

Register file logic verification historically involves comparing two human generated logic sources such as a VHDL code file and a circuit schematic for logic equivalence. This method is valid for most cases, however it does not account for instances when both logic sources are equivalent but incorrect. This report proposes a method to eliminate this problem by testing logic coherency of various sources with a golden logic source. This golden logic source will be generated by a register file simulation program which has been developed to simulate accurate regfile I/O port data. Implementation of this simulation program for logic verification will eliminate the accuracy problem stated above, in addition the logic simulation time for the new method has also been reduced by 36% compared to the former method. / text

The topic of this diploma thesis is the legal regulation of the Commercial Register in the Czech Republic. The thesis focuses on various problems connected with this legal sphere and with the role of the Commercial Register as a public document. The thesis consists of seven chapters, each of them dealing with different aspects of the Commercial Register's nature. At the beginning of the thesis there is the survey of the historical development of the Commercial Register and basic facts, documents and legal regulations (e. g. Code Savary 1673, Code de commerce 1807, AHGB 1863 etc.) that were very important and influencing factors for its present appearance (as it is known in the Commercial Code N. 513/1991 Coll.) are described there. Then the basic concept and principles of the Commercial Register are explained and the principle of publicity (material and formal) on which the Commercial Register is based is analyzed. The next part of the thesis illustrates the Commercial Register's structure and defines which subjects (artificial and natural persons) and information are, according to the law, recorded there. There are also explanations of registered subjects and information and legal effects of the registration. Possible difficulties during the registration process are also mentioned. The end of the...

One of the most desired assets for a trumpeter is the ability to play in the upper register, also known as the extreme register. Upper-register playing is required in most genres of music, and it is considered one of the most difficult mental and physical challenges of trumpet performance. This paper aims to critically analyze and discuss upper-register playing, thereby serving as a guide enabling trumpet players to more effortlessly master this task. To achieve this, there will be an in-depth analysis of the Baroque approach to the upper register, which will then be compared to the modern approach. The assessment will differentiate among embouchures used, jaw and facial structures (i.e. overbite or under bite, straight teeth, or gaps in teeth), diet, breathing techniques, tongue placement, and equipment or combinations thereof (i.e., different mouthpiece and trumpet combinations). Additionally, a study of past and present professional upper-register masters, as well as myths of upper-register playing, will be presented. This paper is intended to serve as a methodology to upper-register trumpet playing and will offer trumpet performers simple, yet proven, practical methods which can improve proficiency in this critical arena.

In recent years, the instruction sets of the majority of present day general purpose processors have been extended to include a variety of SWAR (SIMID Within A Register) instructions. These operations, which make possible the processing of multiple data elements with a single instruction, have been proven to facilitate the acceleration of a wide range of graphics and multimedia applications. The application of these instructions is not, however, just limited to this type of program, and current research is concerned with developing high performance implementations of a wide range of new applications. The initial part of this thesis presents a number of innovative strategies for accelerating previously un-addressed classes of application and illustrates that a significant degree of acceleration can frequently be achieved. However, for all of the applications analysed, several SWAR specific problems were repeatedly encountered. For the efficient operation of the implementation developed using these SWAR instructions, the organisation of the data to be processed is of critical importance and the required arrangement frequently fails to match that normally encountered in applications. SWAR ISEs (Instruction Set Extensions) usually contain functionality to address these problems, but it is shown by the author that this current functionality is insufficient and significantly curtails the performance achievable with these ISEs. The VMM (VIS Manipulation Matrix) was developed to address this problem and provide a methodology whereby the performance obtained using SWAR methodologies could be made significantly more independent of the underlying data organisation. The functionality of the VMM is presented and the effectiveness of this methodology is highlighted, by considering its application to a number of important algorithms. Finally, the feasibility of integrating the VMM into a general purpose processor is revealed, by highlighting its compatibility with the UltraSPARC processor.

Population register and its design for Kazakhstan Abstract This project primarily affects the process of creating/ building of population register in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The international experiences of population registration in European countries were used in the process of writing this thesis. Current data collection processing, their legal basis in the registers were also was analyzed. The diploma thesis also described the positive and negative sides of building population registers and usage this approach in Kazakhstan's reality. A census was carried out in Kazakhstan during the writing master thesis. The results of the census can contribute further to improve information base for the establishment of a register of the population based on census. Keywords: Register, Register-Based Census, The Republic of Kazakhstan, Statistics

This report presents a new way of applying cultural scripts (a form of reductive paraphrase) to the study and description of culturally specific linguistic behavior. Cultural scripts are used to define levels of formality in German culture. This is done by describing typical situations that range from formal to informal in terms of how members of German culture typically conceive of them. The purpose of these levels is to create a scale of formality that can be used to rate particular linguistic expressions in a reference source, thus approximating native speaker intuitions about linguistic formality, and helping readers understand the norms of (in)formal linguistic behavior in German culture. Such a reference source would be immeasurably helpful for students of German, as register variation, particularly formality variation, can be quite difficult for foreign language learners to master. This reference source should help students determine when it is appropriate to use one linguistic expression over another with a similar meaning (and a different level of formality). It would inform students, for example, that a word like “Bulle” in German (“cop” or “pig”) is not appropriate in an academic presentation on European law enforcement agencies, and that the less colloquial terms, “Polizist” or “Polizeibeamte”, would be better suited to such a context. / text
