The goal of my Master's degree thesis is to describe the relation between an action and a judgment. My paper is divided into 9 chapters and several subchapters. After a general introduction in chapter 1, I describe the civil procedure and its basic principles in chapter 2. Chapter 3 is focused on describing an action and a judgment separately. It defines both of these acts, an action as an act of a plaintiff, a judgment as an act of a court. This basic definition is followed by an explanation of what form must these two acts have (written, oral, electronic…) according to the Czech Civil Procedure Code. In the next subchapter I describe the main requirements of these two acts (an action - court address, names of a plaintiff and a respondent, names of their representatives…, a judgment - a verdict, a justification and guidance on appeals). Chapter 4 provides the relation between an action requirement and a judgment verdict. A plaintiff summarizes his/her requests in an action requirement. By that he/she is presenting the dispute to the court. The court deals with plaintiffs' requests in his verdict. We can say the verdict of the court is destined by the action requirement. In the last subchapter of chapter 4 I am presenting several examples of action requirements and judgment verdicts. In Chapter 5...

Introdução Os complexos An. oswaldoi e An. albitarsis são formados por espécies morfologicamente semelhantes e, algumas delas, são importantes vetores de plasmódios que causam a malária humana. A separação das espécies de cada complexo é problemática devido ao polimorfismo e sobreposição dos caracteres morfológicos utilizados em chaves de identificação, que muitas vezes só é alcançada com o uso de marcadores moleculares. No entanto, a identificação correta das espécies se faz necessária para a avaliação adequada da importância epidemiológica das mesmas. Infelizmente, são poucos os estudos que objetivam a caracterização morfológica dos membros do complexo An. oswaldoi e An. albitarsis. Objetivos Caracterizar morfologicamente e molecularmente o An. oswaldoi s.s.; caracterizar morfologicamente cinco espécies do complexo An. albitarsis; estabelecer caracteres morfológicos que permitam a separação entre as espécies do complexo An. albitarsis; solucionar problema de nomenclatura de An. marajoara. Métodos - Foram utilizados espécimes disponíveis nos acervos da Coleção Entomológica do Departamento de Epidemiologia da Faculdade de Saúde Pública (FSP/USP), do Museu Nacional do Rio de Janeiro e do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil e do National Museum of Natural History (NMNH), EUA. Foram descritas e ilustradas as fêmeas adultas, genitálias masculinas, larvas de quarto estadio e pupas de seis espécies de Nyssorhynchus, e a larva de primeiro estadio de An. albitarsis s.s. Foram utilizados 40 caracteres de fêmeas adultas das cinco espécies do complexo An. albitarsis. Nas análises morfométricas foram empregadas técnicas de análises estatísticas multivariadas. Resultados Os adultos machos e fêmeas, larvas de quarto estadio e pupas de An. oswaldoi s.s., An. albitarsis s.s., An. marajoara e An.deaneorum foram redescritos, e descritos aqueles de An. albitarsis B e An. albitarsis E. Os resultados das análises multivariadas dos caracteres morfométricos demonstraram que é possível separar as cinco espécies do complexo An. albitarsis. Para promover a estabilidade do nome An. marajoara, a lâmina da genitália masculina que acompanha o holótipo foi invalidada. Conclusões Foi possível caracterizar An. oswaldoi s.s. através de marcadores morfológicos e moleculares. Os resultados das análises morfométricas demonstraram que é possível separar as cinco espécies do complexo An. albitarsis e que os espécimes de An. marajoara podem pertencer a duas espécies distintas. / Introduction The Anopheles oswaldoi and An. albitarsis complexes contain morphologically cryptic species, including some important vectors of human malaria. Species diagnosis within each complex is problematic due to polymorphisms and overlapping morphological characters in identification keys and many times must employ molecular biology methods. Although correct identification is necessary to evaluate the respective epidemiological importance of each species, there exist few studies that have characterized the morphological characters of the An. oswaldoi and An. albitarsis complexes. Objectives Morphologically and molecularly characterize An. oswaldoi s.s.; morphologically characterize five species of the An. albitarsis complex; establish morphological characters that separate species of the An. albitarsis complex; resolve nomenclature problems within An. marajoara. Methods- Specimens used originated from the entomological collections of the Departamento de Epidemiologia of the Faculdade de Saúde Pública (Universidade de São Paulo), from the Museu Nacional do Rio de Janeiro and from Instituto Oswaldo Cruz (Rio de Janeiro) in Brazil and of the National Museum of Natural History (USA). The adult females, male genitalia, fourthinstar larvae and pupae from six species of Nyssorhynchus and the firstinstar larva of An. albitarsis s.s. were described and illustrated. Forty adult female characters were identified form five species of the An. albitarsis complex. Multivariate statistics were used in the morphometric analyses. Results Adult males and females, fourth-instar larvae and pupae of An.oswaldoi s.s., An. albitarsis s.s., An. marajoara and An. deaneorum were redescribed. Those of An. albitarsis B and An. albitarsis E were described.Results from multivariate analyses of morphological characters separated the five species of the An. albitarsis complex. To promote the nomenclature stability of An. marajoara, the male-genitalia slide associated with the holotype was invalidated. Conclusions It was possible to characterize An. oswaldoi s.s. using both morphological characters and molecular markers. Results from morphometric analyses showed that it is possible a morphological distinction among all five species, and that the specimens of An. marajoara may belong to two distinct species.

An ontology is a formal, explicit specification of a shared conceptualization. Formalizing an ontology for a domain is a tedious and cumbersome process. It is constrained by the knowledge acquisition bottleneck (KAB). There exists a large number of text corpora that can be used for classification in order to create ontologies with the intention to provide better support for the intended parties. In our research we provide a novel unsupervised bottom-up ontology generation method. This method is based on lexico-semantic structures and Bayesian reasoning to expedite the ontology generation process. This process also provides evidence to domain experts to build ontologies based on top-down approaches.
