L'objectiu principal d'aquesta tesi és analitzar quina és la nació (o nacions) que la premsa d'informació general de Catalunya contribueix a construir/reproduir a través de la informació esportiva que es publica a les seves pàgines. Aquest objectiu es materialitza a partir de l'anàlisi de sis esdeveniments esportius (Jocs Olímpics, Wimbledon, Lliga de Campions, Copa Amèrica d'hoquei patins, F1 Montmeló i els partits Catalunya-Euskadi) a la premsa d'informació general més difosa a Catalunya.La tesi defineix el concepte de nacionalisme com aquell programa d'actuacions discursives i estructurals que du al manteniment o consecució d'un estatus polític definit a partir de l'autoreferenciació. Al món actual, el nacionalisme concreta els seus anhels en la coincidència d'un marc polític estatal propi per aquell col·lectiu que es defineix com a nació. Per fer-ho, el nacionalisme empra, entre d'altres, múltiples pràctiques de nacionalisme banal (conjunt complex de costums, creences, assumpcions, representacions i pràctiques que junts, i actuant de manera mundana i quotidiana -banal-, reprodueixen diàriament la identitat col·lectiva dels estats-nació). En aquest sentit, doncs, les pràctiques nacionalistes són efectuades tant pels estats-nació (Espanya), com per les nacions sense estat (Catalunya).Els diaris, com també els altres mitjans de comunicació, actuen com a actors polítics; i desenvolupen un rol molt important en la promoció/construcció d'un sentiment compartit de comunitat nacional. D'altra banda, l'esport ha esdevingut un tipus de ritual polític i un espai social en el qual les representacions de la 'nació' i de la pertinença nacional són contínuament mostrades i onejades. Així, el fet que els mitjans de comunicació serveixin informacions d'esport fa que ambdues nacions -la catalana i l'espanyola- siguin construïdes contínuament en els discursos dels mitjans.L'aproximació metodològica a la qüestió s'ha concretat en l'anàlisi dels volums d'informació destinats als diferents esdeveniments segons les seves característiques representatives; l'anàlisi dels actors protagonistes de les informacions -en relació a les seves pertinences territorials-; l'anàlisi de les identificacions territorials/nacionals dels esportistes; l'anàlisi dels contextos identificatius de les informacions, i l'anàlisi de diferents recursos d'emmarcament nacionalEn el seu conjunt, els resultats de l'estudi mostren que la nació que es construeix a Catalunya a través de la informació esportiva de la premsa d'informació general és bàsicament la nació espanyola. Tanmateix, una part reduïda de la premsa de Catalunya també contribueix a la construcció de la nació catalana; mentre que en cap cas s'observa una construcció nacional en termes de Països Catalans. / Nationalism, as a mode of political organization through nations, is nowadays the hegemonic world wide function system. Nationalism, far from being an intermittent mood in established nations, is the endemic condition. Daily, the nation is indicated, or "flagged", in the lives of its citizenry. Sport has become a form of political ritual and an arena in which representations of nation and nationhood in the media are continually being flagged. By comparing Catalan and Spanish press coverage of six main sport events nationalist practices, discourse strategies and nationhood flag terms are analysed.Results show that Catalan and Spanish national identity are continually discursively constructed in the mass media through sport events. But discourse in Spanish, but also in Catalan newspapers, mainly reinforce Spanish flagging nationhood against catalan ones.

Cuando una obra literaria es trasladada a la gran pantalla y tanto la película resultante como la propia obra literaria se traducen a otro idioma, se crea entre el sistema emisor y el receptor un nexo de intercambio cultural en el cual intervienen varias formas de transferencia: la traducción literaria, la traducción audiovisual y la adaptación cinematográfica. La combinación de estas formas de trasvase constituye un fenómeno especialmente ilustrativo de las relaciones interculturales entre sistemas. A partir de esta hipótesis y tomando como marco epistemológico la teoría de los polisistemas, se ha desarrollado un modelo de análisis que permite estudiar de forma sistemática la combinación de estos trasvases y su papel en el intercambio cultural. Dicho constructo teórico se ha aplicado a un corpus de adaptaciones cinematográficas españolas y su recepción en Alemania en el período 1975-2000 con el objetivo de analizar las relaciones interculturales hispano-germanas que se dan a través del cine y la literatura. / When a literary work is transferred to the screen and both the resulting movie and the literary work itself are translated into another language, an intercultural connection arises, where various transfer forms take place: literary translation, audiovisual translation and film adaptation. The combination of these three transfer forms establishes a very illustrative phenomenon of the intercultural relationships between systems. On the basis of this assumption and using Polysystem Theory as apistemological framework, an analysis model has been designed, which enables to systematically explore this transfer combination and its role in cultural exchange. This model has been than applied to a corpus of Spanish film adaptations and their reception in Germany between 1975 and 2000, in order to analyse the Spanish-German intercultural relationships which take place through translated cinema and translated literature.

Alternatives to unconditional imprisonment Petr Horák The following thesis is concerned with alternatives to unconditional imprisonment. I have chosen this theme because I think it is very topical and frequently discussed issue not only among experts bud within the general public, too. These specific institutes of the criminal law enable quick, economical and effective solution of particular criminal cases with no need of using unconditional imprisonment. The main goal of this paper is to provide its reader with a summarizing overview about the existing alternatives in the present Czech criminal law , about their advantages and disadvantages, about the reasons which led to their implementation to our legal system and about another important related aspects. The introductory chapter of this text deals with the general issues of the purpose of sentencing and sanctions. It provides the basic information about the main principles of sentencing and the theories of sentencing which laid the foundation of contemporary system of criminal justice. The following chapter describes the beginnings of the development of alternative sentencing in Bohemia region. The restorative justice and its principals brought new ideas to criminal law during the second half of the 20th century. According to this original doctrine the...

A 1-D tidal, salinity and water quality model that analyzes the general effects freshwater diversions have on the water quality of the Pontchartrain Estuary over a 17-year period is presented here. Using the modeled live algae concentrations in conjunction with the algal bloom probability model results produces an accurate prediction of algal bloom occurrences between 1990 and 2006. The model predicts that the addition of freshwater diversions into Maurepas swamp and increases to flow in the Bonnet Carré Spillway may cause more intense and frequent algal blooms to occur around the Pontchartrain Estuary. The model also predicts that high nutrient input events that occur earlier in the year (January/February) will not likely have algal blooms associated with them. When nutrient input events (even small events) occur in the late spring or early summer, algal blooms have a high probability of occurring when the salinity, temperature and light levels are sufficient.

Alterations along the Mississippi River, such as dams and levees, have greatly reduced the amount of freshwater and sediment that reaches the Louisiana coastal area. Several freshwater and sediment diversions have been proposed to combat the associated land loss problem. To aid in this restoration effort a 1-D numerical model was calibrated, validated, and used to predict the response of the river to certain stimuli, such as proposed diversions, channel closures, channel modifications, and relative sea level rise. This study utilized HEC-RAS 4.0, a 1-D mobile-bed numerical model, which was calibrated using a discharge hydrograph at Tarbert Landing and a stage hydrograph at the Gulf of Mexico, to calculate the hydrodynamics of the river. The model showed that RSLR will decrease the capacity of the Lower Mississippi River to carry bed material. The stage at Carrollton Gage is not significantly impacted by large scale diversions

A 1-D tidal, salinity and water quality model that analyzes the impacts of freshwater diversions with median and high flow on the water level, salinity and nutrient concentration of the Barataria Basin over a 2 period is presented here. The model predicts that the salinity of Lower Barataria decreases with the introduction of freshwater diversions. The model also predicts that nutrient concentration increases in Barataria Basin and decreases in Northern Gulf of Mexico with the introduction of diversions. The model shows the impact of freshwater diversions on water level except in the neighborhood of the diversion sites are small.

In this study the patterns of sediment transport and deposition in the channels and receiving basin of a crevasse splay in the modern Mississippi River delta are examined, with emphasis on the development of a distributary mouth bar. Simultaneous hydroacoustic and optical measurements on the mouth bar show that the bar conforms to the progradational stage of an existing conceptual model of mouth bar development. This is confirmed by cores dated using Beryllium-7, which provides a record of the deposition on the bar over a 90-day period. Stratigraphic data from cores obtained on the bar are used to extend the conceptual model to account for variable riverine inputs. A numerical model, developed and validated using field data is capable of representing the fundamental sedimentary processes responsible for mouth bar progradation. These results will be of interest to coastal geologists, engineers and coastal managers alike.

The Louisiana Gulf Coast is a dynamic system of heavy influence on the cultures that live and prosper around it. Land in this area is in jeopardy of being lost. In 2017, the Coastal Protection and Restoration agency will issue a new State Master and this thesis provides a more intricate way of numerically predicting the behaviors of associated sediments. A model for the estimation of resuspension and deposition is proposed and prepared for integration into the existing model. The silt and clay fractions of the bed sediment and the sediment inflow were modeled by the widely used hydrodynamic models of Delft3D and ECOMSED, using the Young and Verhagen wave properties to obtain orbital velocities and bed shear stress. The critical shear stress for erosion was based on empirical formulas developed by van Rijn.

Agreement on guilt and punishment This master's dissertation focuses on a relatively new juridical institute of the criminal procedural law, which is agreement on guilt and punishment. This institute was incorporated in the Czech legal system by the Act No. 193/2012 Coll., which took effect from 1st September, 2012. The main purpose for the incorporation was acceleration and efficiency of criminal proceedings as well as lightening the burden of courts, which are overloaded due to excessive amount of new cases. The master's dissertation is divided into five chapters. The first chapter is devoted to the inclusion of plea bargaining in the system of the Code of Criminal Procedure and on the institute of agreement on guilt and punishment in comparison with other diversions. A brief introduction to the basic principles of retributive and restorative justice is also included in this chapter. The second chapter covers the historical development of incorporating plea bargaining into Czech legislation and the legislative process itself. The basic arguments both in and against favour of the institute are outlined, especially taking into account the principles of Czech criminal proceeding. The third chapter contains a detailed analysis of relevant legislation and is divided into two parts, the first focusing...
