This thesis presents a comparison of the ideas of two philosopher-psychologists, James and Bergson, and studies the theory and techniques in the three works of fiction that comprise "The Aviary Trio."

The aim of the thesis was comparing production parameters of laying hens breeding in different housing systems at a production enterprise, it means in enriched cages and aviary. There is used the laying hybrid ISA Brown for production consumer eggs. The achievement during 13months' cycle shown that in each laying month except 1st laying month the higher hen-day egg production was fond out by hens in enriched cages. The hen-egg production per month was higher in enriched cages too. The higher mortality was demonstrated by hens in aviary during all laying months. Both housing systems reached the highest mortality in the 13th laying month. The hens in aviary had higher feed consumption per egg during all months. Higher daily feed consumption was assigned by the hens in the aviary in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd month and from the 9th to the 13th laying month. In other laying months the hens in enriched cages had higher daily feed consumption. Feed costs formed the highest entry of total costs.

La forte demande sociétale pour un meilleur bien-être des poules a conduit l’industrie ovocole canadienne à remplacer progressivement les cages conventionnelles par des logements alternatifs tels que les cages enrichies (CE) et les volières (V). L’objectif de cette étude était de comparer les performances et la qualité des œufs dans 24 élevages commerciaux au Québec : 12 en CE et 12 en V. Le taux de ponte, la mortalité cumulative et la consommation alimentaire ont été choisis pour évaluer les performances des élevages entre 19 et 65 semaines d’âge. L’évaluation de la qualité des œufs a été réalisée à 35, 45, 55 et 65 semaines d’âge incluant la masse de l’œuf, la force et l’épaisseur de la coquille, l’unité Haugh, l’intensité de la couleur du jaune et la prévalence des œufs sales et fêlés. Aucune différence significative (P> 0,05) n’a été observée entre les CE et les V pour tous les paramètres de performance et de qualité étudiés. L’interaction entre le logement et l’âge a eu un effet significatif sur la mortalité (P< 0,05) qui a augmenté plus rapidement avec l’âge dans les V que dans les CE. L’âge a eu un effet significatif sur toutes les variables étudiées (P< 0,05) excepté la prévalence des œufs sales. Ces résultats sont encourageants pour les producteurs d’œufs québécois en pleine phase de transition. En conclusion, au Québec, durant le cycle de ponte les performances des oiseaux et la qualité des œufs sont similaires entre les CE et les V à l’échelle commerciale. / The strong societal demand for better hen welfare has led the Canadian egg industry to progressively replace conventional cages with alternative housing such as enriched cages (EC) and aviaries (A). The objective of this study was to compare the performance and quality of eggs from 24 commercial farms in Quebec: 12 in EC and 12 in A. Laying rate, cumulative mortality, and feed consumption were used to evaluate farm performance between 19 and 65 weeks of age while egg quality evaluation consisted of egg mass, strength and thickness shell, Haugh unit, yolk color intensity and prevalence of dirty and cracked eggs at 35, 45, 55 and 65 weeks of age. No significant differences (P> 0.05) were observed between EC and A for all performance and quality parameters studied. The interaction between housing and age had a significant effect on mortality (P< 0.05) which increased faster with age in A than in EC. Age had a significant effect (P< 0.05) on all variables studied except the prevalence of dirty eggs. These results are encouraging for Quebec egg producers in the midst of a transition phase. In conclusion, in Quebec, during the laying cycle the performance of the birds and egg quality are similar between the EC and the A on a commercial scale.

The proposal project is designing the development plan of the ZOO in Dvur Kralove nad Labem, as has designed a new exhibition of new lions, hyenas, birds of prey, the African desert and the object of refreshments for visitors. Architectural study addresses the design of objects - pavilions exposure for lions, hyenas, a pavilion with an aviary for birds of prey - bird world, the African pavilion terrarium desert and finally building with a cafe and toilets for the visitors of the ZOO. The proposed approach also runs the individual pavilions, then runs for the lions and hyenas and near runs in the African desert ungulates and seasonal runs. The proposed solution recognizes the zoo premises as a place for keeping large animal species composition, education of visitors, as the meeting place of rest and relaxation. The solution takes into account the complex relationships and interactions between exposures in a given area, not only in terms of architectural and aesthetic approach to the complex, but also in terms of operating and zoological.The zoo is a park with specific exposure to live with a balanced human rights - a visitor to one side and kept the animal on the other.  The proposed solution to the Zoo is sensitive to the surrounding landscape, the existing urban and architectural design and space requirements for any award.  From an operational point of view, the proposal accepted by all the requirements of the future. Areas and facilities for public service facilities, paddocks and animal quarters are each precisely defined and strictly separated geographically and operationally. Are the optimal conditions for the movement of animals between quarters and corral. The proposed solution is very rich in variety of areas, which in addition to the versatility of targeted animals, reflected in the richness of flora and fauna and thus contributing to environmentally high value sites. All spaces is a common need a sufficient level of daylight and direct sunlight. The entire area surrounding the exposure and access roads are designed to completely wheelchair accessible and accessible for persons with reduced mobility. The proposed solution to a sensitive development of existing space is achieved by a better, easier and easier availability. Term solutions proposed pavilions, yards and access roads is based on the themes of African villages. Small scale architectural and mutual spatial composition of individual materials of the new pavilions interconnected units reflects the typical mass breakdown of urban structures in the original locations of breeding species. Pavilions and animal quarters, and appropriately use the added space in the area of ??the zoo and complete the overall character of the place in the context of the current solution to urban zoo.
