To improve learning this, think of a proposed intervention that did the student work in a more pleasant way this content. With the advent of computing and software GeoGebra, elaborate didactic itineraries practices, so that they could revise and deepen the main concepts of conic. This work was then developed in order to make the students could visualize and deepen the knowledge previously studied in books, aiming at a better xation of the content. It is designed with questions, so that students examine the de nitions, discuss the results, and from there to better understand the content, and know a little of the appearance, the history and evolution of knowledge on conic. / Ao lecionar cônicas nas turmas do 3a ano do Ensino Médio, sempre observava que a maioria dos alunos não se lembravam das principais de ni coes, e tinha muita di dificuldade.

abstract: This phenomenological qualitative study examines the experiences of volunteer tourism on host communities using social representations theory. The experiences of three stakeholder-groups (community residents, volunteers, and nongovernmental organizations) are considered. Overall objectives of this project are to investigate the following questions: a) what are the effects of volunteer tourism on a community as perceived by different stakeholders; b) what effects do volunteer tourists have on the community compared to other forms of tourism as perceived by different stakeholders; c) how do the various stakeholders perceive the different forms of tourism in communities in which they live or work; and d) why and how do nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) use volunteer tourism as a strategy for their projects. This study attempts to describe and interpret these meanings with a high degree of depth and richness using interviews, observation, and document analysis. Each chapter is written as a stand-alone paper to be published in a journal and describes the perspectives of the three groups interviewed with the final chapter a summary and comparison from all three groups. Findings show that there are both positive and negative impacts of volunteer tourism in favela communities, with the majority of the three groups expressing its positives and its importance to the community. All groups mentioned similar positive and negative elements of volunteer tourism with some elements that were unique to each group. This study also attempted to compare and contrast the differences between volunteer tourism and favela tours. The findings show that volunteer tourism helps recreate the social representations of the favela thereby improving self-esteem in the community, helps breakdown preconceptions, and helps create community pride. The community feels as equals with the volunteers and describes the interactions as friendships, sharing cultural experiences, and exchanging of knowledge. Conversely, all three groups described favela tours as dehumanizing using words like `safari tour' or `zoo tour' and felt that their community was being sold as a commodity. However, the interviews showed that all three groups, although had strong opinions about the ethical implications of favela tours, still felt conflicted when comparing it with some of the potential social and economic benefits that it may bring. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ph.D. Community Resources and Development 2013

Thesis analyses usage of a potential of Czech republic in beer tourism via beer tours. The main aim was to create new tours, which would be connecting small familial breweries in separated areas of Czech republic, east, west, middle of the republic plus Prague. Thesis was logically separated into two parts, theoretical and practical. Theoretical part shoul provide basic information about tourism, services and marketing of the services, which includes situation analysis and marketing mix. The end of this part involves description of the situation of breweries in Czech republic, like number of breweries, statistics of production and consumption of beer; and situation of beer tourism in this land. Practical part is applying knowlendges of theoretical part. First chapter includes analysis of the beer tours market, competition, suppliers, element of distribution and potentional customer. Next chapter is whole about new beer tours, this chapter involves description and process of individual tours and the last chapter includes layout of marketing mix.

Alors qu’à la fin du Ve siècle s’effaçait le pouvoir impérial de Rome sur l’ensemble de ses territoires occidentaux, le pouvoir en Gaule se retrouva entre les mains de deux groupes de dirigeants : il y avait, d’une part, les évêques, issus pour la plupart de la classe aristocratique gallo-romaine, qui s’étaient donné comme mission de maintenir la romanité et la foi catholique vivantes dans les cités dont ils étaient les véritables chefs, et, d’autre part, les rois d’origine germanique qui occupaient différents royaumes, taillés à même les territoires cédés par Rome quelques décennies auparavant. Supporté par l’épiscopat, le règne de Clovis, roi d’origine franque et fondateur de la première dynastie catholique en Gaule, s’imposa à ce moment critique de l’histoire gallo-romaine. Malheureusement, les sources écrites qui décrivent l’avènement et la postérité du règne sont rares. Ce travail s’attachera à présenter les lettres qui établirent les fondements du royaume franc ainsi que la première œuvre qui, plusieurs années après la mort de Clovis, fit état de sa carrière afin de constater dans quelle mesure et dans quelles circonstances les évêques qui les écrivirent purent influencer la foi et la politique du roi franc.

Homère, Hérodote et Pline avaient déjà décrit les effets merveilleux de la drogue. Abordé par Rabelais, Mme de Sévigné et Chardin, le motif du stupéfiant dans la littérature a connu un âge d’or dès la première moitié du XIXe siècle. Poussés par une aspiration à fuir vers l’infini, sinon par une simple curiosité pour un univers inconnu, les écrivains romantiques se mettent à consommer de l’opium et du haschisch, et commencent à les introduire dans leurs œuvres comme motif littéraire dans des circonstances historiques et culturelles. La présente thèse analyse l’évolution de l’emploi littéraire de la drogue qui implique divers contextes, à savoir médical, social et anthropologique, au travers des textes de Rabbe, Musset, Balzac, Gautier, Dumas, Nerval et Baudelaire, et de certains phénomènes culturels tels que la légende de l’Ordre des Assassins et le club des haschischins à l’hôtel Pimodan. / Broached by Rabelais, Madame de Sévigné and Chardin, the motif of narcotics in literature enjoyed a golden age as early as the first half of the 19th Century, although Homer, Herodotus and Pliny had already described their wonderful effects. Driven by an aspiration to escape to the infinite, or by simple curiosity for an unknown universe, the Romantics started to consume opium and hashish, and started to introduce them into their work as a literary motif in historic and cultural circumstances. This thesis analyses the evolution of the use of drugs in literature, in a wide range of contexts, namely medical, social and anthropological, through the texts of Rabbe, Musset, Balzac, Gautier, Dumas, Nerval, and Baudelaire, and certain cultural phenomena such as the legend of the Order of Assassins and the club des Haschischins at hôtel Pimodan.

Cette thèse cherche à analyser les trois tournées de l’actrice française Sarah Bernhardt (1844-1923) au Brésil, précisément dans les villes de Rio de Janeiro et Sao Paulo. Les voyages datant de 1886, 1893, 1905. Cette étude a comme arrière-plan les réflexions autour de la circulation culturelle et de la mondialisation de la culture au XIXe siècle. On considère les voyages Sarah Bernhardt comme un exemple précieux du processus de diffusion du théâtre français et d’internationalisation des publics. Coté brésilien, on percevra que cette même période, marquée par une forte présence artistique étrangère, est aussi le moment où les Brésiliens (ou du moins l’élite lettrée du pays) cherchent à penser l’identité du pays, tout en édifiant l’art dramatique national. L’enjeu de cette thèse est alors de comprendre comment la présence théâtrale étrangère se place dans ce contexte. Plus qu’une étude sur une « influence théâtrale » française au Brésil, l’objectif des pages qui suivent est de réfléchir à la formation de la pratique artistique brésilienne dans le cadre d’un processus plus large de mondialisation de la culture au XIXe siècle – où le théâtre occupe une place majeure. En ce qui concerne précisément Sarah Bernhardt, cette thèse cherche à démontrer l’importance de l’actrice dans ce phénomène. Grande étoile médiatique de la période, Sarah est, dans le même temps, liée au grand théâtre français de répertoire. La question est alors de comprendre comment ce « grand théâtre » se diffuse internationalement, tout en s’imprégnant des stratégies commerciales de l’industrie théâtrale de l’époque. Dans ce sens, on se demandera comment l’actrice construit son image à l’étranger, plus particulièrement au Brésil, et quelle partie du « marché » culturelle cherche-t-elle à dominer, soutenue par ses imprésarios. En un mot comment la « Sarah Barnum* » se veut-elle également ambassadrice du génie français ? Référence à l’entrepreneur de spectacles américain Phineas Taylor Barnum (1810-1891). Il était connu pour ses affaires très prospères dans le domaine culturel. Le Cirque Barnum, fondé en 1871 est devenu l’un des plus connus de l’époque et a rassemblé des artistes provenant de divers pays. Dans le monumental ouvrage édité par Noel Daniel sur le cirque aux Etats-Unis entre 1850 et 1950, Linda Granfield remarque l’importance de Barnum : « Aujourd’hui encore, les hommes d’affaires du monde entier étudient la conférence donnée par Barnum en 1858 et intitulée The Art of Money Getting («L’Art de faire de l’argent »). Il y exposait sa vision de la réussite financière et déclarait : « Aux Etats-Unis où nous avons plus de terres que d’habitants, il n’est pas difficile pour une personne en bonne santé de prospérer ». (Granfield, Linda. « Un vent de folie souffle sur la ville » In Noel Daniel (ed.), The circus 1850-1950. New York : Éditions Taschen, 2008. p.53) Les titres des différentes parties de son discours comme « Quoique que vous entrepreniez, mettez-y toute votre énergie », « Lisez la presse » et, une des  clefs de sa réussite, « Faites de la publicité », continuent d’inspirer les entrepreneurs à ce jour. Le surnom « Sarah Barnum » a été employé par l’actrice Marie Colombier, dans un livre qui proposait de témoigner de la tournée de Sarah Bernhardt en Amérique. L’ouvrage paru en 1883, qui a fait scandale : « Les Mémoires de Sarah Barnum » cherchait clairement à donner l’image d’une Sarah Bernhardt cabotine et intéressée par le profit, tout comme le grand imprésario américain Taylor Barnum. Voir Marie Colombier, Voyages de Sarah Bernhardt en Amérique. Paris : C. Marpon et E. Flammarion Éditeurs, 1887. / This work proposes an analysis of the french actress Sarah Bernhardt's (1844-1923) three tours in Brazil, precisely in the cities of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo in 1886, 1893, 1905. Taking the thoughts about the flow of artists and the cultural globalization of the 19th century as a background, the present study considers Sarah Bernhardt tours as a precious example of the French theater diffusion process and of the internalization of audiences. In what regards Brazil, it is noticeable that the referred period, marked by a strong foreign artistic presence, is also the moment in which the country’s literate elite reflected about a project of a nation and about the construction of a national dramatic art. The focus of this thesis is, therefore, to locate Sarah Bernhardt’s tours in this panorama. More than a study about French “theatrical influence” in Brazil, our main goal is to ponder about the construction of the Brazilian artistic practice in a context of a broader process of cultural globalization in the 19th century, in which theater played a fundamental role. In what concerns Sarah Bernhardt specifically, this thesis intends to demonstrate the actress’s relevance in this phenomenon. Sarah was a great media star and, at the same time, associated to the french theater erudite repertoire. It attempts, therefore, to understand in what way this “repertory theater” is internationally broadcasted, also impregnating itself with commercial strategies common to the period’s theater industry. In that sense, the construction of the actress’s image abroad, specially in Brazil, is questioned. Also, what part of the cultural “market” Sarah Bernhardt and her managers tried to dominate is evaluated. In other words, how did the actress became Sarah Barnum, with a flair of ambassador of the génie français ?

Title: Wheel size selection preferences in recreational and active cyclists Goals: The goal of the thesis is to find relation between anthropometric and training indicators and selection of bicycle wheel size. Methods: The work is a descriptive study of a sample of randomly picked men and women. The research sample consisted of 250 respondents of the age range 13 - 77, with 106 women and 144 men. The research has been carried out in the form of semi structured website survey. The data have been categorized and analysed using basic statistical methods and the results were interpreted in the charts by the frequency of answers. Results: By analysing the survey results we have found the existing relation between the used wheel size and anthropometric and training indicators. With the growing height and weight of the respondents, the tendency to use 29" wheel size increases, as mentioned 81 respondents in height range 160-199 cm. The research has also shown that older riders use their bikes primarily to the cycling tours and that with the smaller wheel size. The size 29" use only eighteen respondents of the age range 40 - 77. The comparison of training indicators with the used wheel size has proven direct relation between effortfulness of the surface and used wheel size, when 2500 km and more will be...

Tourist guides are located at the coalface of the tourism industry and occupy an extraordinary position within the contemporary demand and supply chain, seeing that they have the ability to enhance, manage and orchestrate the tourists sought after “unique” experience through their interpretation and commentary on tour. Within this context, most regard the tourist guide as an “ambassador” and “custodian” of a specific country‟s destination image – with India being no exception. This dissertation explores the complexity and multifaceted-nature of the tourist guiding phenomenon in a global South context, by considering the tourist guide of India as an international tourist guiding best practice example. The investigation will also evaluate key components and practical areas of India‟s tourist guiding domain. That consists of the country‟s national tourism and tourist guiding environments, legislative and regulatory frameworks, educational and training components, quality assurance mechanisms, as well as all other integral functional areas associated with the sector. These various research areas, along with the genesis of guiding, the various roles and responsibilities of a tourist guide, and the contextualisation of “international tourist guiding best practice”, all form the main components of the dissertation. / Dissertation (MSocSci)--University of Pretoria, 2020. / Historical and Heritage Studies / MSocSci / Unrestricted

User onboarding procedures and digital feature introductions are still in their infancy. Consequently, hard data on its impli-cations and its effects on user behavior is scarce and difficult to come by. To contribute to this field of research, within the context of HCI, this study was conducted. It studies the implementation of a contextually sensitive step-by-step feature in-troduction on a digital platform, presented by a complex and composite interface, providing access to a large number of features. It then proceeds to statistically evaluate the effects of the onboarding implementation on activation rates for which the onboarding was designed to improve.  The study’s findings were that users that received the step-by-step feature introduction were associated with statistically significantly lower mean times spent completing the activation requirements, compared to users that did not. Additionally, users partaking in the feature introduction had higher overall activation rates. The study also provides insight into how user time spent completing the different steps leading up to a successful activation was divided among the steps and discusses its significance for the design of user onboarding experiences in the future. / Processer för onboarding av användare till digitala applikationer och dess funktioner är fortfarande ett relativt nytt och ostuderat forskningsämne. Följaktligen är kvantitativ data om dess påverkan på användares beteende både knapphändig och svårfunnen. Studien genomfördes därför i syfte för att bidra till detta forskningsområde, inom ramen för HCI. Den studerar implementeringen av en kontextuellt medveten steg-för-steg onboarding på en digital plattform, som representeras genom ett komplext och sammansatt gränssnitt som portal till ett stort antal olika användarfunktioner. Därefter fortsätter den att statistiskt utvärdera effekterna som implementeringen av onboardingtjänsten för med sig, samt den förändrade aktiveringsgrad hos nya användare som den bidrar till.  Resultaten av studien var att användare som fick ta del av den nya interaktiva och stegvisa onboardingprocessen förknippades med statistiskt signifikant lägre genomsnittliga tider för att fullborda aktiveringskraven, jämfört med användare som inte fick ta del av den nya onboardingprocessen. En förbättrad aktiveringsgrad för användare som fått ta del av onboardingen kan också observeras. Studien ger a ven inblick i hur användarnas tid spenderades mellan de olika stegen i processen som ledde till en lyckad aktivering, samt att studien diskuterar resultatens betydelse för utformningen av onboardingprocesser för digitala applikationer i framtiden.

In Fall 2022, three librarians representing the outreach and engagement department and reference and instruction department at Loyola Marymount University’s William H. Hannon Library developed a three-part orientation experience to welcome new theological studies graduate students. The three parts consisted of a 10-minute welcome via Zoom by two outreach librarians; a “meet and greet” library orientation and VIP tour co-presented by an outreach librarian and the librarian for theological studies; and an in-depth instruction session led by the librarian for theological studies. With lessons learned and student feedback collected in Fall 2022, the librarians aimed to improve this three-point plan in Fall 2023. This article presents successes and failures from both years of orientation programs to inform academic librarians aiming to support graduate students at their respective institutions.
