Estimating forest attributes using laser scanning data and dual-band, single-pass interferometric aperture radar to improve forest managementPeduzzi, Alicia 27 September 2011 (has links)
The overall objectives of this dissertation were to (1) determine whether leaf area index (LAI) (Chapter 2), as well as stem density and height to live crown (Chapter 3) can be estimated accurately in intensively managed pine plantations using small-footprint, multiple-return airborne laser scanner (lidar) data, and (2) ascertain whether leaf area index in temperate mixed forests is best estimated using multiple-return airborne laser scanning (lidar) data or dual-band, single-pass interferometric synthetic aperture radar data (from GeoSAR) alone or both in combination (Chapter 4). In situ measurements of LAI, mean height, height to live crown, and stem density were made on 109 (LAI) or 110 plots (all other variables) under a variety of stand conditions. Lidar distributional metrics were calculated for each plot as a whole as well as for crown density slices (newly introduced in this dissertation). These metrics were used as independent variables in best subsets regressions with LAI, number of trees, mean height to live crown, and mean height (measured in situ) as the dependent variables. The best resulting model for LAI in pine plantations had an R2 of 0.83 and a cross-validation (CV) RMSE of 0.5. The CV-RMSE for estimating number of trees on all 110 plots was 11.8 with an R2 of 0.92. Mean height to live crown was also well-predicted (R2 = 0.96, CV-RMSE = 0.8 m) with a one-variable model. In situ measurements of temperate mixed forest LAI were made on 61 plots (21 hardwood, 36 pine, 4 mixed pine hardwood). GeoSAR metrics were calculated from the X-band backscatter coefficients (four looks) as well as both X- and P-band interferometric heights and magnitudes.
Both lidar and GeoSAR metrics were used as independent variables in best subsets regressions with LAI (measured in situ) as the dependent variable. Lidar metrics alone explained 69% of the variability in temperate mixed forest LAI, while GeoSAR metrics alone explained 52%. However, combining the LAI and GeoSAR metrics increased the R2 to 0.77 with a CV-RMSE of 0.42. Analysis of data from active sensors shows strong potential for eventual operational estimation of biophysical parameters essential to silviculture. / Ph. D.

The right to live in the community as the right to have rightsGradwohl, Csilla January 2017 (has links)
The present thesis explores Article 19 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which recognizes the right of all persons with disabilities to live in the community, with choices equal to others. The relationship between Article 19 and the other articles of the Convention are explored, in order to discuss the role of Article 19 in the Convention. The thesis examines whether the right to live in the community, set out in Article 19, can be considered as the most central right of the Convention. The thesis applies the legal analytical method, and it is based on the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities; the communications of the Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities; official reports of the United Nations as well as international non-governmental organizations; and scientific articles from books and journals. By using Arendt’s idea of “the right to have rights” as a theory, this thesis argues that the right to live in the community, contained in Article 19, constitutes the right to have rights for persons with disabilities and therefore it can be considered as the most central right of the Convention.

Gramaticalização do aspecto iterativo no português do Brasil: o verbo viver / Gramaticalization of the iterative aspect in the Brazilian portuguese: the verb to liveSantos, Jorge Mariano dos 30 June 2010 (has links)
O objetivo deste trabalho consiste na análise do processo de gramaticalização do verbo viver, que parte de sua função original como verbo pleno e assume novas funções, ao ponto de se recategorizar como verbo quase-auxiliar, exprimindo aspecto continuativo. Segundo Heine (1993), verbos plenos produtivos nas línguas podem ser submetidos a processos de auxiliarização em níveis e forças distintos, e esses níveis e forças podem ser representados pelos padrões funcionais do verbo viver. Demonstraremos que esses deslizamentos unidirecionais movidos por abstratização são guiados por processos cognitivos correlacionados à mudança no estatuto categorial do item em processo de gramaticalização. Para fazê-lo, utilizaremos a escala de categorias cognitivas propostas por Heine, Claudi e Hünnemeyer (1991, p. 55): pessoa > objeto > processo > espaço > tempo > qualidade, em sua proposta de versão sugerida no bojo do Grupo de Pesquisa em Mudança Gramatical (Lima-Hernandes, 2009) para: pessoa > objeto > instrumento > espaço > tempo > processo > qualidade. Para realizar essa tarefa, faremos uso de um corpus composto pelos seguintes materiais: i. Dossiês do DEOPS/SP (1924 -1945), nos quais se encontram informações e documentos fundamentais para uma compreensão mais abrangente da vida política, social e cultural de São Paulo na primeira metade do século XX; ii. Debates exibidos na MTV (Music Television edição brasileira), recolhidos em um programa semanal que discute os assuntos mais polêmicos do momento com convidados especialistas, profissionais, estudantes e pessoas comuns. iii. Entrevistas variadas concedidas ao jornal Folha de S. Paulo e à revista VEJA. Com base no corpus escrito, iniciamos um exercício de busca das motivações que fazem o verbo viver ser empregado em funções mais abstratizadas. Essa busca permitirá hipotetizar a rota de mudança e norteará a hipotetização do gatilho que fez com que o falante da língua portuguesa no Brasil reanalisasse expressões linguísticas com o verbo viver pleno em estruturas de auxialirização. / The objective of this research consists in the analysis of the process of grammaticalization of the verb to live, that it has left of its original function as full verb and assumes new functions, to the point of recategorization as Quasi-auxiliary verb, expressing continuative aspect. According to Heine (1993), productive full verbs in the languages can be submitted to auxiliarization processes in distinct levels and strength, and these levels and strength may be represented by the functional standards of the verb to live. We will demonstrate that these unidirectional movements stimulated by abstraction are guided by cognitive processes correlated to the change in the categorial statute of the item in gramaticalization process. To demonstrate it, we will use the scale of cognitive categories presented by Heine, Claudi and Hünnemeyer (1991, p. 55): person > object > process > space > time > quality, in his proposition of version suggested by the Group of Research in Grammatical (Lima-Hernandes, 2009) Change to: person > object > instrument > space > time > process > quality. To carry through this research, we will use corpus arranged by the following materials: i. Dossiers of the DEOPS/SP (1924 -1945), in which it might be possible find basic information and documents that permit a better understanding of the politic, social and cultural life in São Paulo in the first half of century XX; II. Debates shown on MTV (Music Television - Brazilian edition), collected in a weekly program that argues the most controversial subjects of the moment with guests like: specialists, professionals, students and common people. III. Varying interviews granted to Folha de S. Paulo newspaper and to VEJA magazine. On the basis of written corpus, we initiate an exercise of search of the motivations that allow the verb to live being used in more abstracted function. This search will allow to get the hypothesis the change route and guide the hypothecal trigger that made with that the speaker of Portuguese language in Brazil has reanalyzed linguistic expressions with the verb to live in its full meaning in auxiliarization structures.

De är mest aktiva under våren och sommaren och därefter avtar aktiviteten successivt fram till vintern när den går i vila. De tillbringar minst tid i sina bohyddor under sommarperioden och när hösten kommer uppehåller de sig mer och mer i hyddorna.

The theory of young adults’ experience of the finality of life: striving to live more valuably / Jaunų suaugusiųjų gyvenimo baigtinumo patyrimo teorija: siekis gyventi vertingiauJurgaitytė Avižinienė, Agnė 01 July 2013 (has links)
The encounter with death and death anxiety are quite popular themes, which have been researched in the science of psychology for a long time. On the other hand, the research is criticized for frequent simplification of this phenomenon, lack of deeper analysis and understanding, while the concepts are not always used in an accurate manner. After operationalizing the definition of death anxiety, the concept of finality of life is used in research, which is grounded on unique philosophical position and enables to explore the interested phenomenon in a new way, as well as to look at its experiences in a different manner. The method of grounded theory (GT) was selected for research, which allows exploring the interested phenomenon in a comprehensive manner, identifying its essential points and features, and presenting a theoretical model that explains it. 17 healthy subjects of both genders of 22 – 45 year old and four additional subjects, who expanded the research field, participated in research. 2 in-depth interviews were conducted with each of them, they wrote a diary on the researched theme. The collected data were analyzed, according to the principles of classic GT, and the central component of theory – the core category – striving to live more valuably – was distinguished. It is revealed how this theory solves and explains the main concern – inevitability of death. Substantive categories were also revealed, for example: negotiating reality of life and negotiating changes in...

SKÄL ATT FORTSÄTTA LEVA : EN SYSTEMATISK LITTERATURSTUDIE MED FOKUS PÅ SKYDDANDE FAKTORER I SAMBAND MED SUICIDALITET / REASONS FOR CONTINUING LIVING : A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE STUDY WITH FOCUS ON PROTECTIVE FACTORS IN RELATION WITH SUICIDALITYSundeman, Rickard January 2018 (has links)
Bakgrund: Outhärdlig psykisk smärta, bristande livslust och suicid är ett folkhälsoproblem. Tidigare studier visar att det finns många faktorer som förhöjer risken för suicid. Dock finns det inte i samma utsträckning kunskap om de faktorerna som skyddar mot suicid. Genom ökad kunskap om de skyddande faktorerna mot suicid kan även ökad resiliens skapas inför framtida utmaningar. Syfte: Syftet med föreliggande studie var att beskriva de skyddande faktorer som kan stärka livskraften hos suicidnära personer. Metod: En systematisk litteraturstudie av tio studier med kvalitativ ansats användes. Dataanalysen genomfördes utifrån Evans beskrivande metod. Resultat: Tre teman identifierades som skyddande faktorer för suicidnära personer: Kontakt, Vändpunkter och Coping. Tio subteman identifierades: Kontakt: familj och vänner, kontakt med sig själv, kontakt med en gud, andra gemenskaper; Vändpunkter: nya insikter, känsla av delaktighet; Coping: framtida mål, förebild, hälsosamt beteende, lidande och suicidtankar som coping. Diskussion: Sjuksköterskans uppgift är att värna om livet, lindra lidande, ingjuta hopp, främja hälsa och in i det längsta förstärka livskraften hos patienten. Kunskap från den vårdvetenskapliga forskningen med avseende på bemötande och skyddande faktorer i samband med suicidalitet kan bidra till ny kunskap av vikt inom psykiatriskomvårdnad. / Background: Unbearable psychological pain, lack of desire to live and suicide are public health problems. Earlier studies have shown that there are many factors that increase the risk for suicide. The field of research in protective factors for suicide has been rather unexplored, in comparison. By increasing the knowledge the protective factors there can be an increased resilience before future challenges in psychiatric care. Aim: The purpose of the present study was to describe the protective factors that can strengthen the viability in suicidal persons. Method: A systematic review of literature of ten studies with qualitative approach was used. Data analysis was performed based on the descriptive method invented by Evans. Results: Three themes where identified as protective factors for suicidal persons: Contact, Turning points and Coping. For each theme, different subthemes has been identified: Contact: family and friends, contact with oneself, spiritual contact, other communities; Turning points: new insights, participation; Coping: future goals, role model, healthy behaviour, suffering and suicidal thoughts as coping. Discussion: The nurse’s role is to protect life itself, to ease suffering, to instil hope, to promote health and into the longest increase the viability in suicidal patients. The psychiatric care needs to assimilate new knowledge from the Science of care in terms of treatment of patients and protective factors. Furthermore, to better understand the psychology of suicide and to counteract taboo, which still revolves around suicide.
