A pesquisa se caracteriza por uma análise teológica de textos de Jayme Caetano Braun, poeta tradicionalista gaúcho Galpão de Estância (1954), De Fogão em Fogão (1958), Brasil Grande do Sul e Paisagens Perdidas (1966) , conjugando as teorias da semiótica literária e da teologia da cultura. No primeiro capítulo, apresenta-se o referencial teórico da teologia da cultura de Paul Tillich, partindo-se do pressuposto de que a religião é o fundamento da cultura e de que a sua tarefa é trazer à superfície a substância profunda. Neste capítulo, ainda, busca-se estabelecer a semiótica literária, com Jakobson e Lotman, como ferramental de auxílio nesta tarefa hermenêutica. O segundo capítulo faz um levantamento das principais obras sobre teologia e literatura produzidas no Brasil. Finalmente, no terceiro e último capitulo, situa-se a obra de Jayme Caetano Braun no contexto da poesia gaúcha. A partir de uma divisão temática, procede-se à análise semiótico-literária dos textos, para então se estabelecer um olhar teológico sobre os mesmos. / This research is characterized by a theological analysis of the texts of Jayme Caetano Braun, who is a southern Brazilian traditional poet Galpão de Estância (1954), De Fogão em Fogão (1958), Brasil Grande do Sul and Paisagens Perdidas (1966) , associating the literary theory of semiotics and the theology of culture. In the first chapter, the theoretical referential of Paul Tillichs theology of culture is introduced, starting from the presumption that religion is the foundation of culture and its task is to lift the deep substance to the surface. Yet in this chapter, using Jakobson and Lotman, the establishment of literary semiotics as a helping tool in this hermeneutic task is sought. The second chapter relates the results of an investigation of the main works about theology and literature produced in Brazil. Finally, in the third and last chapter, Jayme Caetano Brauns works are situated in the context of southern Brazilian poetry. Starting from a thematic division, the literary semiotic analysis proceeds in order to establish a theological vision about the theme.

The diploma thesis Bon Repos and baroque monuments in surroundings of Lysá nad Labem deals with the area of Bon Repos and baroque monuments in surroundings of Lysá nad Labem that arose thanks to the benefactor Count Francis Anthony Spork. Unfortunately, most of the monuments no longer exist. The first part of this diploma thesis deals with the history of the town Lysá nad Labem and also with its monuments including the life of Count Spork. In the second part of the thesis we can find the detailed description of the ecclesiastical and the secular monuments in surroundings of Lysá nad Labem, which were built at the times during the Count Spork's life. The monuments' description was done according to the engravings and sources from the period of the first half of the 18th century. The third part of this thesis describes the area of Bon Repos which was built by Count Spork. In this part we can also find the history of the site and the description of its baroque form. Unfortunately, the site of Bon Repos was rebuilt by archbishop Prichovsky in the second half of the 18th century. It is for this reason that the description of the baroque site was done thanks to the engravings and sources from that period. Afterwards, we can find the description of the existing baroque and late baroque buildings that were...

Vegetation classification of Braun-Blanquet approach of vegetation ecology is widely accepted as a method to establish formal classification system. However, the measuring parameter commomly used by Taiwan ecologists is important value index (IVI) of Wisconsin school. The purpose of this paper is to study whether the different measuring parameters (IVI vs. cover-abundance scales) result in different vegetation classifications or not. Jhuokou River Basin was used as the studied area. Vegetation sampling data based on different parameters were analyzed by nonmetric multdimesional scaling¡]NMDS¡^and two-way indicator species analysis¡]TWINSAPN¡^and the resulted associations and alliances compared with their member plots, character species and dominant species. The results indicated that these attributes of alliances from both methods were higher regularity than associations, but further research is still needed to clarify these regularity patterns.

The objectives of the study were to identify, classify, describe and map the plant communities in the proposed Highveld National Park, including the degraded Spitskop areas. Vegetation sampling was done by means of the Braun-Blanquet method and a total of 108 stratified random relevés were sampled. A numerical classification technique (TWINSPAN) was used and the result was refined by Braun-Blanquet procedures. The final results of the classification procedure were presented in the form of phytosociological tables and twelve plant communities were described. For indirect ordination, a Detrended Correspondence Analysis (DCA) algorithm was applied to the data set to confirm the phytosociological association and to assess floristic relations between communities. For direct environmental gradient analysis the Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) was applied to the data using the CANOCO software program. The plant communities were combined into six management units based on similarities regarding vegetation composition, habitat, topography and soil characteristics. Characterization of land degradation was done by grouping erosion into different classes and different degrees of severity. Degraded areas in need of rehabilitation and restoration were identified and described. Recommendations were made with regard to rehabilitation and monitoring of all degraded areas in the HNP. / Thesis (M.Sc. (Botany))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2008.

This full report presents a classification of mid-seral black spruce ecosystems in the Boreal White and Black Spruce (BWBS) and Sub-boreal Spruce (SBS) zones of British Columbia. The classification is based on a total of 122 plots sampled during the summers of 1997 and 1998. We used multivariate and tabular methods to synthesize and classify ecosystems according to the Braun-Blanquet approach and the methods of biogeoclimatic ecosystem classification. The black spruce ecosystems were classified into 8 vegetation units (associations or subassociations) and the same number of site associations. We describe vegetation and environmental features of these vegetation and site units. Vegetation and environmental tables for individual plots are given in Appendices. In addition, we also present the relationships between site index of black spruce and direct and indirect measures of site quality.

This full report presents the first approximation of vegetation classification of trembling aspen ecosystems in interior British Columbia. The classification is based on a total of 186 plots sampled during the summers of 1995, 1997 and 1998. We used multivariate and tabular methods to synthesize and classify ecosystems according to the Braun-Blanquet approach and the methods of biogeoclimatic ecosystem classification. The aspen ecosystems were classified into 15 basic vegetation units (associations or subassociations) that were grouped into four alliances. Communities of the Populus tremuloides – Mertensia paniculata, and Populus tremuloides – Elymus innovatus alliances were aligned with the boreal Picea glauca & mariana order and were distributed predominantly in the Boreal White and Black Spruce zone; communities of the Populus tremuloides – Thalictrum occidentale alliance were also aligned with the same order, but were distributed predominantly in the Sub-Boreal Spruce zone; communities of the Populus tremuloides – Symphoricarpos albus alliance were aligned with the wetter cool temperate Tsuga heterophylla order and the drier cool temperate Pseudotsuga menziesii order and were distributed in the Sub-boreal Spruce, Interior Western Hemlock, Montane Spruce, and Interior Douglas-fir zones. We describe the vegatation and environmental features of these units and present vegetation and environmental tables for individual plots and units.
