This dissertation deals with evaluation of lamb growth ability and lamb carcass value of Romney Marsh sheep breed. Monitoring and evaluation of lambs were conducted with 18 lambs on the family organic farm of Ing. Paul Šeliga in Vrbětice in the years 2014 to 2017. In the first charter, there are listed information about the importance and general characteristics of sheep breeding in the Czech republic. Then there are also included a development, trends and perspectives of sheep breeding in the Czech Republic. In the next section, it is described the issue of growth and carcass quality of lambs. The following is a characteristic of a farm in Vrbětice in district Zlin and characteristic of Romney Marsh sheep breed. In scope of this evaluation of lamb growth live weight at birth, in 100 days of age and before slaughter was observed. In term of monitoring there was traced influence of lamb sex on growth ability indicators, more precisely on live lamb weight and lambs´ daily weight gain. Effect of gender had inconclusive impact on most of monitored live weight. With regards to the daily weight gain, there was inconclusive effect of the above mentioned indicators on all daily weight gains. There was evaluated influence of lamb sex on carcass value during the monitoring all slaughter lambs. There has also been evaluated the slaughter yield, fattiness and flesh ratio of individual body parts. Results of check slaughter show that sex factor had inconclusive impact on most carcass value´s monitored indicators. Highly provable sex effect was recorded only on live weight before slaughter. Conclusive impact was recorded on slaughter ready body weight, kidney weight, weight of lamb kindey fat, weight of shoulders, kidney ratio, kidney fat ratio and shoulder ratio. On the other hand sex factor did not have evidential influence on slaughter age, slaughter yield, subjective grading, getting meatiness, fattiness, weight and proportion of skin, back and legs. From the point of view of the quality of the right leg, there was a very evident effect of sex on the proportion of fat from the leg, the apparent influence on the weight of the bones from the leg and the inconclusive influence on the weight of the leg, the weight of fat from the leg, the proportion of the meat from the leg and the proportion of the bones from the leg.

Presidentvalet i USA baseras på personval istället för partival och detta personval inkluderar även presidentkandidatens partner. Presidentkandidaternas fruar diskuteras och analyseras idag lika mycket som presidentkandidaterna själva samtidigt som medierna diskuterar vilken av de tidigare presidentfruarna de kommer att efterlikna. Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka och analysera vilken retorik Michelle Obama och Ann Romney använder sig av i talen de ger på The Democratic National Convention respektive The Republican National Convention i ett försök att övertyga de amerikanska väljarna att deras man borde bli deras nästa president. Eftersom det visuella framträdandet bidrar till talets helhet ska även det undersökas och analyseras. Då Michelle Obama och Ann Romney har jämförts under hela valet görs det även här en komparativ analys av deras retorik samt deras visuella framträdande. En kvalitativ metod har valts för uppsatsen i form av en retorisk analys. Denna retoriska analys görs med hjälp av Karlbergs och Mrals (1998) retoriska modell. Resultatet visar att både Michelle Obama och Ann Romney använder sig mest av ethos och pathos i sina tal för att bygga tillit till publiken samt visa känslor. Undersökningens resultat visar även att de båda blir presidentkandidaternas surrogat till målgrupper som de inte når ut till vilket visar att presidentskapet är en två- persons- karriär där presidentfrun får stå för den feminina sidan medan presidentposten förbli maskulin. Resultatet visar även att den politiska kommunikationen inte behöver vara strikt politisk och att medierna spelar en stor roll i den politiska kommunikationen idag. / The presidential election in The United States is based on voting for an individual candidates rather than voting for a party and this vote includes the wife of the presidential candidate. The wives of presidential candidates are today equally discussed and analyzed, while the media also discusses which one of the previous presidential wives they are going to take after. The purpose of this thesis is to examine and analyze the rhetoric that Michelle Obama and Ann Romney uses in the speeches they give at The Democratic National Convention and The Republican National Convention in an effort to convince the American voters that their husband should be their next president. Since the visual appearance contributes to the speech as a whole this will also be examined and analyzed. Michelle Obama and Ann Romney have been compared throughout the whole election so a comparative analysis of their rhetoric and their visual appearance will also be made here. A qualitative approach has been chosen for this thesis in the form of a rhetorical analysis. This rhetorical analysis is done by using Karlberg and Mrals (1998) rhetorical model.. The results show that both Michelle Obama and Ann Romney used ethos and pathos the most in their speeches to build trust with the audience and to show emotions. The thesis results also show that they are surrogates to the presidential candidates in the way that they can reach target groups that the candidates cannot and with this showing that the presidency is a two-person career where the presidential wife to stands for the feminine side while the presidential post remains masculine. The results also show that political communication doesn’t have to be purely political, and that the media plays a major role in political communication today.

The Thesis deals with the influence of new media on the organization of a political campaign. It is based on theories of political communication and new media, which it compares with real usage of these media during the US presidential campaign in 2012. The Thesis is divided into three parts; first of which deals with the theoretical framework of new media and political communication, including an outline of historic development and greatest changes that have occurred since 1950s. In second part, the system and milestones of American presidential elections are characterized, as they are very different from European elections. Both campaigns, Republican and Democratic, are also described. The last chapter is concerned with a particular usage of new media in both campaigns -- individual subchapters include depiction of presidential debates, which are an important part of the election process, international image of both candidates, negative campaigning distributed mainly by new media, and specific usage of new and social media by campaign teams. Volunteers constitute an integral part of the American voting system, which is why one subchapter describes their pursuits and organization.

Politics in Michigan had been on a low plane for a number of years. The troubles were many and their roots could be found deep in the structure of the state's government.In April of 1959, the sagging governmental structure gave way to the extent that the state was unable to meet its payroll. The result was the much publicized "Payless Pay Day" which attracted national and international interest.Seeing that their elected officials were seemingly powerless to correct even the basic flaws in Michigan's government, many of the state's leading business and industrial leaders decided to apply their considerable talents to improving their state government. George Romney, then president of American Motors, was one of these citizens.

Este trabajo se realizó en el predio privado “El Maitén”, ubicado en la Xª Región, Provincia de Osorno, comuna de Purranque, en la Cordillera de la Costa; como parte del Proyecto de Producción de Leche Ovina del Departamento de Producción Animal de la Facultad de Ciencias Agronómicas de la Universidad de Chile. Los objetivos del estudio fueron describir y comparar la curva de lactancia de ovejas Romney Marsh bajo dos sistemas de manejo, determinar su efecto sobre la producción de leche y la composición de ésta, así como sobre el crecimiento de los corderos desde el nacimiento hasta el destete. Se utilizaron dos sistemas de crianza-ordeña como tratamientos. El tratamiento 1 consistió en destete parcial de los corderos y ordeña simple de las ovejas desde la segunda semana posparto hasta los 17 kg. de peso vivo o 60 días de vida de los corderos, a continuación destete completo y doble ordeña de las ovejas hasta los 120 días de lactancia o una producción diaria inferior a 300 g. de leche por día. El tratamiento 2 utilizó los mismos criterios de destete y secado, diferenciándose solamente en el período predestete, en el que las ovejas no fueron ordeñadas y los corderos estuvieron permanentemente al pie de sus madres. Los tratamientos 1 y 2 contaron con 17 y 16 ovejas, respectivamente, todas entre 5º y 6º parto y con corderos machos ya sea en partos simples o dobles; las que fueron extraídas de un rebaño de 120 ovejas. La distribución se hizo al azar y las ovejas fueron entrando al ensayo en la medida que se producían las pariciones. Se midió la producción diaria de leche así como el contenido relativo de materia grasa, proteína cruda y sólidos totales de ésta. Para este efecto se realizaron controles lecheros individuales cada dos semanas, momento en que también se tomaron muestras individuales de leche para ser analizadas. Además se controló el peso y la condición corporal de las ovejas alternando la semana con la del control lechero. El crecimiento de los corderos se midió semanalmente desde el nacimiento hasta el destete. Las curvas de lactancia de T1 y T2 se ajustaron durante el período posdestete a las ecuaciones lineales Yt1 = 1245,18 - 47,835 * t (R=92,09%) y Yt2 = 1240,98 - 51,801 * t (R=99,33%). La producción acumulada del tratamiento 1 fue significativamente superior a la del 2 en un 61%, produciendo 67,4 y 41,7 kg, respectivamente (P<0,05). El contenido de materia grasa fue estadísticamente superior en el tratamiento 2, con un 7,8% contra un 6,3% del 1, no así en la producción acumulada, donde los tratamientos arrojaron 3,25 y 4,25 kg, respectivamente (P<0,05). En el caso del contenido de proteína cruda, de igual modo, el tratamiento 2 fue significativamente superior al 1, con un 6,5% y un 6,1%, respectivamente. En este caso la producción acumulada de proteína cruda si mostró diferencias significativas en favor del tratamiento 1, con 4,11 vs 2,71 kg. (P<0,05). Los sólidos totales mostraron una tendencia similar a la de la proteína cruda, superando significativamente el tratamiento 2 al 1 en el contenido de sólidos totales, 19,5% contra 17,8%; y el 1 al 2 en la producción acumulada de éstos, con 12,00 y 8,13 kg, respectivamente (P<0,05). Las curvas de crecimiento de los corderos se ajustaron a una función logística de la siguiente forma, Yt1 = 18,68/(1+2,78 * e0,34*t) e Yt2 = 19,29/(1+2,69 * e0,41*t), con R=99,7% y R=99,8%, respectivamente. El aumento de peso de los corderos fue significativamente superior en el tratamiento 2, mostrando 400 g/día vs 330 g/día del tratamiento 1 (R>0,05). Al medir el comportamiento del crecimiento de los corderos como días en alcanzar los 17 kg. de peso vivo, ocurre el mismo fenómeno, T2=44 días/17 kg. y T1=54 días/17 kg. (R>0,05). El ensayo permite concluir que bajo las condiciones de manejo del ensayo, para ovejas Romney Marsh, el sistema de crianza-ordeña influye significativamente en la cantidad total de leche oedeñada. El sistema de manejo produce cambios importantes en los niveles de producción y en la composición de la leche ordeñada, así como en el crecimiento de los corderos.

The meteoric political decline of George Romney is unparalleled in political history and in the history of presidential campaigning. In the space of one year, the man evolved from the overwhelming presidential favorite of Republicans, Democrats, and Independents alike to a presidential drop out, criticized severely and even mocked by press and public alike.There are many opinions as to why this phenomenon occurred. The press has opinions, the public has opinions, and the people closest to George Romney have opinions.A step by step analysis of Romney's campaign casts light on these opinions and completely discredits some while validating and emphasizing others.Romney's campaign had finance problems, it had personnel problems, and, most of all, it had a candidate who never fully committed himself to the campaign, who never truly and deeply wanted the Presidency of the United States.

The diploma thesis "Some Features of Persuasive Language in Selected Presidential Campaign Speeches of Two Candidates" aims to investigate how the rhetorical device of conceptual metaphor is employed in the election campaign speeches of Barack Obama and Mitt Romney addressed mainly to the Hispanic voters to develop the myth of the American Dream. The political speeches were analyzed under the theoretical framework of the critical metaphor analysis and critical discourse analysis. Besides the analysis of the metaphorical concepts that support the myth creation, other rhetorical devices were examined in the selected corpus of the both speeches for their persuasive function.
