The thesis deals with carve turn practice at a primary school ski course in the district of Pelhřimov. Carving has been known for quite a long time. However, so far its techniques have been involved in school ski courses in a low degrese. The thesis should help in choosing exercices suitable for learning a carve turn.Our task was to choose carving exercises and apply them in practise during a primary school ski course. A brief outline of history of skiing, skiing and carving biomechanics can be found in the thesis. There is also a set of exercices which has been attested in practise. As a part of the thesis, there is the analysis of the exercises and their evaluation.

Fragestellung: Ziel der Untersuchung war es, Veränderungen im Verletzungsmuster im alpinen Skisport durch die Einführung des Carvingskis zu identifizieren. Methodik: Hierfür wurden 1383 Patienten, die in den Wintersaisons 2003/2005 und 2004/2005 die Ambulanz des Klinikums Garmisch-Partenkirchen aufsuchten, mit Hilfe eines standardisierten Fragebogens hinsichtlich unterschiedlicher, verletzungsrelevanter Parameter befragt und die Daten anschließend statistisch ausgewertet. Zusätzlich konnten im Rahmen eines Längsschnittsvergleiches Veränderungen im Vergleich zu den Wintern 2000/01 sowie 2001/02 eruiert werden. Ergebnisse: Signifikante Unterschiede im Sinne eines gehäuften Verletzungsrisikos ergaben sich für unterschiedliche Körperregionen für die verschiedenen Skitypen. Carvingskifahrer verletzten sich beispielsweise signifikant häufiger am Rumpf (p<0,05), jedoch seltener im Bereich des Kniegelenkes (p<0,05) und des Unterarms (p<0,01). Carvingskifahrer verletzten sich mit zunehmendem Fahrkönnen tendenziell häufiger im Bereich der oberen Extremität und des vorderen Kreuzbandes, während Kniegelenkstraumen insgesamt seltener beobachtet wurden. Kollisionsverletzungen waren bei Carvern nicht häufiger als bei Normalskifahrern zu beobachten. Die Verletzungsraten zeigten sich im longitudinalen Vergleich insgesamt weitgehend konstant. Schlussfolgerungen: Die verwendete Fahrtechnik (eigentliche carvende vs. driftende Fahrtechnik) scheint einen entscheidenden Einfluss auf das Verletzungsmuster auszuüben. Dies sowie die Auswirkungen des Carvingskis auf orthopädische Verletzungsmuster allgemein sollten auch weiterhin im Rahmen von Langzeitstudien beobachtet werden. / Impact of the carving technique in skiing on orthopaedic injury patterns and the severity of injuries The aim of the study was it to identify the changes of the injury pattern in alpine skiing as a consequence of the introduction of carving skis. Therefore 1383 people who came into the emergency room of the hospital of Garmisch-Partenkirchen during the winter seasons 2003/05 were asked systematically about different parameters leading to the accident by using a standardised questionnaire. The data was evaluated statistically afterwards. In addition a longitudional comparison with the injury rates of the seasons 2000/02 has been done. Significant differences in injury risks could be identified for people using conventional skis compared to those using carving skis. Carvers suffered significantly more often from injuries of the torso (p<0,05),but less often from those of the knee (p<0,05) or the forearm (p<0,01). Carving skiers with better skills tended to gain more injuries of the upper extremity and the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) while knee trauma in total has been observed less often in more skilled athletes. Collision accidents did not occur more often in carvers than in conventional skiers. The injury rates in total remained widely constant in the longitudional comparison. The actual technique of skiing (carving vs. drifting) seems to play an important role on the injury pattern occuring. The impacts of carving skis on orthopaedic injury patterns should be observed furthermore.

There is scant research within educational literature on the nature of visual cognition, language, and expression in relation to cross-culturally driven socio-cognitive and socio-economic development. Indeed, the integrated, multi-disciplinarian approach needed to address the nature of this complex relationship is still being devised. / This dissertation examines a community of artisans located in Kenya's remote western highlands. Over the past ninety years, the community has developed a unique soapstone carving cottage industry. This creative commercial response to the pernicious effects of Western acculturation has somewhat mitigated the severe environmental, demographic, and economic stresses being experienced by most other Gusii communities in the region. / The community-cottage industry's structural and longitudinal dynamics meld traditional artisanal and social practice to Western market mores. However, the industry could not have evolved, nor could it have sustained itself, without a corps of competent artisan-merchants. The creation of such a corps is the result of a distinctive bi-modal educational system consisting of both indigenous training and Western-style schooling. This system, in its totality, helps to develop the requisite cognitive, affective, psychomotor, and linguistic skills essential to artisanal-mercantile practice. Consequently, participating Gusii youth generally graduate knowing how to produce and market soapstone carvings. / This dissertation, drawing from studies in history, economics, psychology, sociology, ethnography, phenomenology, communications, and aesthetics, examines the foundation and growth of this cottage industry as well as its bi-modal education system in tam of its socialization patterns and learning processes. These patterns and processes are related to cross-cultural theories of socio-cognitive and socio-linguistic development and learning. One of the principle features of this particular educational system involves the of visual acumen among its trainees. Such an enhanced faculty is for those whose livelihoods depend literally on pleasing the eyes of Western consumers. Explication of this system, therefore, provides the necessary framework within which to consider the central role that visual cognition, Language and expression plays in the cottage industry.

This thesis examines the development of the art of gem engraving in Etruria between the years from ca 520 to ca 470 BC. It is divided into two parts, the first of which is an analysis of the style of the intaglios, and the second an analysis of the iconography. In Part One attributions to individual hands or groups are suggested, and conventional names supplied; the relationships of the engravers both to each other and to the late archaic Greek schools are examined. In Part Two the iconography of the intaglios is examined both internally and against the wider background of Etruscan and Greek art;- where relevant, comparison is also made with the literary tradition; this study concerns itself only with the human figure, and the chapters are arranged around cycles of myth and the individual figure types.
