Thesis (DTech (Tourism and Hospitality Management ))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2010 / The relationship between sport and tourism is symbiotic and offers valued visitor experiences that aid sport tourism development. The growth of sport tourism justifies critical consideration, as sport is an important activity within tourism, while tourism is fundamentally associated with several types of sport. Sport and tourism have become significant economic activities in both the developed and the developing world. Sport tourism events is an essential category of sport tourism and because of their special characteristics, require particularly good organisation. Hence, the monitoring and evaluation of sport tourism events are integral to developing a sustainable sport tourism event industry in South Africa. The focus of this study was a comparative analysis of the management and socio-economic impacts of sport tourism events in Durban and Cape Town, utilising a case study approach. The study specifically evaluates the Comrades Marathon (CM), the Hansa Powerade Dusi Canoe Marathon (DCM), the Old Mutual Two Oceans Marathon (OMTOM) and the Isuzu Berg River Canoe Marathon (BR). Of importance in this study is stakeholders‟ involvement, perceptions, attitudes and understanding relating to the costs and benefits linked to the events. These particular events provided excellent case studies for comparative event impact analysis, as they are well-known sport tourism events, namely two running marathons and two canoe marathons that are held at popular tourist destinations. These case studies reflect a cross-section of experiences contrasting institutional dynamics, management issues, resident perceptions, sport event types as well as socio-economic and spatial contexts. As stakeholders have a direct influence on managerial decision making, a stakeholder analysis was undertaken. Stakeholders included individuals and organisations that were actively involved in the sport tourism events and whose interests may have been positively or negatively affected by the sport tourism event, viz. spectators, managers, sponsors, local government officials and residents. Due to the outdoor nature of the events, the movement of several people at spectator areas and along routes and the surveys being conducted face to face, a multistage, stratified, spatially-based purposive sampling method was used for spectators and residents. Two surveys were conducted at the events: a spectator questionnaire (n = 200 per event) and a service quality questionnaire (n = 100 per event). Spectators were approached while within the various spectator congregation points of each of the sport tourism events, whereas residents located within a 10-km radius of the sport tourism event route were surveyed (n = 200 per event) after the events. Structured key informant interviews were conducted with sponsors, managers and local government authorities.

Log-boats within the Ertebölle culture have had a broad use in the society. From social usesas transport and communication devises to economical uses within hunting and fishing. Thelog-boats have been quite large, larger than log-boats in later periods. With a length of up to 10 meters and a width of 0,5-1 meter the log-boat have been big enough to carry a family andthere gear along the cost. Even though the long and narrow shape of the log-boat have made them mostly suitable for calm and shallow water they have still aloud the people of theErtebölle culture to cross major waters such as the sound between Denmark and Sweden.

Electrical Control Units (ECUs) communicating on Controller Area Networks (CAN buses) are widely used in vehicle electrical systems. Being able to simulate these circuits and buses in a computer environment is beneficial during the development phase when access to test benches is limited and expensive. Simulations can also give a very detailed view of the entire system which in an ordinary lab setup would be practically impossible. BAE Systems Örnsköldsvik SIL Lab department works in the simulation environment CANoe supplied by Vector Informatik GmbH. BAE Systems have a simulation model of their central communication circuit. Unlike the less complicated circuits on the bus it cannot be integrated in the CANoe simulation environment. The less complicated nodes are modelled to usable extent but this is not possible with the central communication circuit. This report presents a possible solution to facilitate communication between the simulated ECU and the CANoe simulation environment under certain real-time constraints. A solution was achieved with a combination of an external program which handled shared memory with callback functions and Vector's Fast Data eXchange protocol (FDX).

No entanto, poucas informações científicas têm sido encontradas na literatura, sobretudo, em relação a avaliação fisiológica e treinamento. Objetivo: padronizar testes específicos em remada atada e livre para avaliação da aptidão aeróbia de canoístas slalom de elite e verificar a correlação dos índices de aptidão aeróbia fornecidos pelos testes com o desempenho em prova simulada. Métodos: a amostra foi composta por 12 atletas pertencentes a Seleção Brasileira Permanente de Canoagem Slalom com idade média 18 ± 2 anos. Os testes de canoagem atada foram realizados com o auxílio de um aparato denominado Sistema de Medição de Força Atado (SIMFA), composto por célula de carga e módulo amplificador de sinais. Todas as avaliações foram realizadas em piscina de 25m e sob caiaque modelo K1. A máxima fase estável de lactato (MFEL) atada foi determinada a partir de três intensidades que variaram de 35,5N à 70,3N. Para a obtenção da força crítica (FC) foram utilizadas quatro cargas preditivas e ajustes matemáticos hiperbólico (FChiper) e linear (FClin). As avaliações em remada livre (velocidade crítica (VC) e MFEL) foram realizadas em lagoa. A VC foi obtida pelo modelo "distância vc. tempo" utilizando desempenhos máximos nas distâncias de 300, 450 e 600 metros. Para determinar a iMFEL os atletas foram submetidos a três testes contínuos com duração de 30 min, separados por intervalo de 24 horas entre eles, realizados em sistema de vai e vem na distância de 50 metros. Como indicador de desempenho adotou-se o tempo em prova simulada de canoagem slalom (TP), executada em canal artificial. Em adição o lactato sanguíneo (LACsang) pós prova foi mensurado. Resultados: os principais resultados das avaliações atadas, indicam não haver diferença entre a iMFEL e FChiper e entre FChiper e FClin, no entanto, a FClin foi significantemente maior que iMFEL. A FChiper foi altamente correlacionada com iMFEL (r= 0,78, p=0,002), bem como iMFEL foi correlacionada com desempenho (r = -0,67, p=0,016). Em relação as avaliações livres os resultados revelaram não haver diferença significativa entre a intensidade de VC (7,77 ± 0,28 Km/h) e iMFEL (7,50 ± 0,32), além disso, correlação significativa foi encontrada entre a intensidade de VC e desempenho em prova simulada (r= 0,84, p=0,03). Conclusões: em relação as avaliações atadas, foi possível padronizar testes atados para avaliação aeróbia de canoístas slalom, utilizando as metodologias de MFEL e FC, e também a possibilidade de utilizar o parâmetro aeróbio obtido pelo modelo de FC como uma avaliação não invasiva para estimar a MFEL. Já em relação as avaliações livres a VC obtida pelo modelo distância-tempo é válida para estimar a iMFEL em canoístas slalom de elite, além de se correlaciona com o desempenho em prova simulada. / Abstract: Introduction: canoe slalom is an Olympic sport since 1992 and that grows every year worldwide. However, limited scientific information has been found in the literature, especially in relation to training and evaluation physiological. Purpose: Standardize tethered specific tests and free tests for assessment of aerobic fitness elite slalom kayakers and additionally verify the correlation between indexex of aerobic fitness provided by tests with performance in simulated slalom race. Methods: the sample was composed of 12 athletes from the Canoe Slalom Brazilian Team with a mean age 18 ± 2 years. The tethered specific testst was performed using a denominated Tethered Canoe System (TCS) constructed specifically for this purpose composed of a load cell and signal amplifier module. All assessments were conducted in a 25-meter outdoor swimming pool using K1 kayak model. The tethered maximal lactate steady state (MLSS) was determined from three intensities ranging from 35,5N the 70,3N. Four predictive loads were used to obtain the critical force (CF) using two mathematical adjustments, hyperbolic (CFhiper) and linear (CFlin). Free specific tests assessments (critical velocity (CV) and MLSS) were performed in lake. The CV has been obtained by "distance-time" model using maximum performance at distances of 300, 450 and 600 meters. To determine the iMLSS athletes underwent three continuous lasting 30 min, separated by 24-hour interval between them, performed using a kayak "shuttle" exercise, with a 50-m course. The simulated race was conducted on a white water course and as performance indicator the total race time (Trace) was adopted. In addition, the blood lactate (LACsang) post race was measured. Results: the main results of tethered evaluation, indicate that the CFlin and CFhiper intensities did not differ, as well as CFhiper and iMLSS. However, CFlin was significantly higher than iMLSS. The iMLSS and CFhiper intensities were significantly correlated (r= 0.82, p=0.002) well as iMFEL was correlated with performance (r = -0.67, p = 0.016). Regarding the free evaluations, the results showed no significant difference between the intensity of CV (7.77 ± 0.28 Km / h) and iMLSS (7.50 ± 0.32) Moreover, a significant correlation was found between intensity CV and simulated race performance (r = 0.84, p = 0.03). Conclusions: regarding the tethered specific tests , was possible to standardize tests for aerobic evaluation in slalom kayakers, using the MLSS and CF methodologies and also the possibility to use the aerobic parameter obtained by the FC model as a noninvasive evaluation to estimate MLSS. In relation the free specific tests, the CV obtained by the distance-time model is valid for estimating the iMLSS in elite slalom kayakers and is correlated with performance in simulated race / Doutorado / Biodinamica do Movimento e Esporte / Doutor em Educação Física

Title: Evaluation of postural stability of sprint kayak athletes.

Data was statistically analysed by Shapiro - Wilk test, Mann - Whitney test, Pair t - test and Cohen's d. Results: Due to low number of statistically significant differences, we couldn't say that sprint kayakers have better...

This thesis examines the history of New England’s dugout canoes – a history that can be traced from 8500 BCE to the twenty-first century. The historical record and archaeological evidence surrounding dugout canoes suggests that the use of dugout canoes changed significantly over time, and that their form varied considerably in different regions of New England. While historians have claimed that these varied forms represent European and colonial influences, I argue that the Eurcolonial influence on dugouts was much more visible in the way the canoes were used than in the shape the vessels took. In addition to analyzing the canoes, this study analyzes the ways in which dugout canoes have been exhibited and interpreted in museums and offer suggestions as to best practices in the interpretation of mishoonash as artifacts of contested cultural attribution.

O presente estudo tem por objeto o processo de tradução e suas dificuldades a partir da análise da obra La Chasse-Galerie, do escritor franco-canadense Marie-Louis-Honoré Beaugrand (1848-1906). Nosso objetivo é mostrar as diferentes marcas culturais e linguísticas presentes na citada obra e os caminhos percorridos para encontrar uma tradução capaz de transpor, a partir da língua alvo, os mesmos significados e os mesmos sentimentos expressados na língua de partida, sem que a obra parecesse estrangeira aos olhos do leitor. Para atingir esse objetivo, tomamos por base os conceitos teóricos de Eco (2007) sobre a tradução que afirma que quando se traduz nunca se diz a mesma coisa, mas quase e Berman (2002), porque o seu posicionamento é o de que, uma tradução só é boa ou bem sucedida quando o tradutor deixa nela as marcas do estrangeiro, isto é, deixa entrar a cultura do estrangeiro (do texto de partida) para dentro da sua cultura (texto de chegada). / The object of study of the present research is the translation processes and their difficulties. Based on La Chasse-Galerie, the piece of the French-Canadian writer Marie-Louis-Honoré Beaugrand (1848-1906), we aim at demonstrating the various cultural and linguistic aspects present in the mentioned work as well as the methods we used to reach a translation capable of transmitting to the target language the same meanings and feelings expressed in the original language of the tale without making the piece strange to the readers eyes. To meet this goal, we used the translation theory by Eco (2007), according to which something translated never says the same thing, but nearly, and by Berman (2002), because he believes an effective translation is the one which allows the reader to recognize traces of the source text, that is, traces of the original culture.
