The thesis Design of the straightening machines XRK 7-200 deals with the types of straightening machines and their principles. Further, procedures for construction proposals of seven-roll straighteners with rods of 100-200 mm in diameter are described. These proposals are primarily made for upper and lower crossbeams. The thesis also presents calculations of drives and set screws.

Object region detection plays a vital role in many domains ranging from self-driving cars to lane detection, which heavily involves the task of object detection. Improving the performance of object region detection approaches is of great importance and therefore is an active ongoing research in Computer Vision. Traditional sliding window paradigm has been widely used to identify hundreds of thousands of windows (covering different scales, angles, and aspect ratios for objects) before the classification step. However, it is not only computationally expensive but also produces relatively low accuracy in terms of the classifier output by providing many negative samples. Object detection proposals, as discussed in detail in [19, 20], tackle these issues by filtering the windows using different features in the image before passing them to the classifier. This filtering process helps to control the quality as well as the quantity of the windows. EdgeBox is one of the most effective proposal detection approaches that focuses on the presence of dense edges in an image to identify quality proposal windows. This thesis proposes an innovative approach that improves the accuracy of the EdgeBox approach. The improved approach uses both the color properties and the corner information from an image along with the edge information to evaluate the candidate windows. We also describe two variations of the proposed approach. Our extensive experimental results on the Visual Object Classification (VOC) [29,30] dataset clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach together with its two variances to improve the accuracy of the EdgeBox approach.

World population growth and global warming are accentuating the long recognized problem of housing for the masses; millions are homeless, live in inadequate shelter, or as in the US Manufactured Housing market that is the focus of this thesis, live in nondurable poor quality ?manufactured? houses that are detrimental to health, at best, or during extreme weather events, suffer catastrophic damages often resulting in death to occupants. In this thesis, we have reviewed the role of the architect in the US Manufactured Housing industry; additionally, we identified the major problems that plaque the US Manufactured Housing Industry. Further, we have reviewed how architects and Industrial Designers use technology in their respective fields. Our findings and analysis suggest that an Industrial Design approach, applied in architecture for mass housing, offers a means of improving the architect?s role in manufactured housing for the masses.

Abstract: The doctor's dissertation paper addresses the social problem, how business units should use the standard economic tools to prevent crisis. The importance of the problem is supported by the fact, that last year more than eleven thousand economic entities in the Czech Republic became insolvent. The Set of Tools for Corporate Crisis Prevention shall help to better adjust the internal control mechanisms, using which businesses could better prevent crisis. Application of this Set of Tools for Corporate Crisis Prevention is verified based on two completely different companies. The dissertation addresses the question of how use standard tools such as loan and leasing for crisis prevention, possibly secure the recovery of growth opportunities. This support is implemented by using an external financial institution, or the Intercompany bank. In the chapter entitled "intercompany bank", I describe the basic principles of operation and its importance for internal control. This internal organization has been used in many companies, but today is back to support the sales department and help reduce risk associated with the greater indebtedness of the company. I am describing the Intercompany bank in the context of internal processes and forms of cooperation with the sales department. Functionality of the intercompany bank is supplemented with examples from practice. The chapter called "Micro-enterprise approach of the crisis" is complemented by the complexity of internal financial perspective to company's management. This chapter describes three main sources of the company crisis from a microeconomic perspective. It is decreasing demand, the impact of interest rate exchanges on corporate governance and the impact of exchange rate changes on the financial stability of the company. The analytical part of presented dissertation thesis deals with development of insolvency proposal, bankruptcy, and reorganization proposals in The Czech Republic between 2008 and 2013. The main target is finding the causal dependences between insolvency requirements in the Insolvency Register and a few key macroeconomic indicators such as GDP, unemployment rate, industrial production growth and the amount of loans granted to the corporate sector. For a more comprehensive view of insolvency arrangement of The Czech Republic is accompanied by description of the legislative settings in The UK, Germany and France. Keywords: Bankruptcy proposals, Bankrupt, Company crisis, Exchange rate, Industrial production, Insolvency, Insolvency proposals, GDP, Leasing, Reorganization, Unemployment rate.

Most researchers and democracy theorists who define what democracy is or should be, agree that civic participation is the core of a democracy. Without citizen participation, there would be no democracy. The broad participation in political processes symbolizes the idea of political equality. A high level of political participation among citizens is usually seen as a sign that democracy is functioning satisfactorily. Unfortunately, today's political reality, on the other hand, shows that actual democracy does not reflect the democratic ideal models. The economic and social gaps in society largely explain how participatory activity is distributed among the citizens. The purpose of this master's thesis, which is a case study, has been to study the political equality in the e-proposal process within Linköping municipality. This means that the socio- economic representativeness among the proposers has been studied between the years 2016 and 2021. Furthermore, the geographical spread of the proposals has been studied between the years 2016 and 2018, together with the political priority areas of the proposers.  A web survey was conducted to gather information on the proposers’ socio-economic conditions. In total, the survey was answered by 207 respondents. This survey has contributed to either verifying or falsifying the research hypothesis. The hypothesis states that it is mainly socio-economically resourceful individuals who submit Linköping proposals. In summary, the study shows that it has been particularly resourceful individuals who have submitted Linköping proposals. Furthermore, the proposals are intended to be implemented in areas where the socio- economic standard is relatively high. The study has also shown that the proponents to a large extent (80.9 percent) have requested initiatives that relate to urban planning issues and culture and leisure. Finally, the results of the study illustrate that the approvals mainly refer to socio- economically strong areas. In conclusion, the empirical results of the study have contributed to the hypothesis being verifiable, as it has mainly been socio-economically resourceful individuals who have submitted Linköping proposals.

Syfte: I dagens läge byggs nya dagvattendammar för att magasinera dagvatten som överbelastar dagvattenledningssystemen och de befintliga dagvattendammarna förblir utan översyn. Eftersom klimatförändringar bidrar till att femårsregn kommer i en högre frekvens ökar flödet av dagvatten och orsakar att allt fler dagvattendammar kommer att bli underdimensionerade. För att bevara samhällsfunktioner utreds en generell arbetsprocess hur kommuner kan undersöka och bevara befintliga dagvattendammar. Metod: Metoderna som används är intervju, fallstudie och litteraturstudie. Intervju bidrar till att lösningar och förslag av undersökningsmetoder och åtgärdsförslag samlas in. Fallstudien utfördes på tre olika dagvattendammar och undersöker vilka undersökningsmetoder som kan användas. Att samla empiri i ett praktiskt fall bör bidra till att utredningens trovärdighet förstärks. De metoderna som användes i fallstudien är beräkningar, sedimentprovtagning och dokumentanalys från underlag av befintliga dagvattendammar. Med hjälp av litteraturstudie analyseras utredningens empiri med andra källor för att kontrollera empirins tillförlitlighet. Resultat: Ett flertal undersökningsmetoder och åtgärdsförslag analyserades. Tre undersökningsmetoder som passade en generell arbetsprocess var: flödesproportionell provtagning, sedimentprovtagning och dagvattenberäkningar med dagvattenmodellen Stormtac. Åtgärdsförslag som passade var: byggnation av en vall runt dammen för att utöka magasineringen, plantering av växter som tar upp näringsämnen och tungmetaller bundna i dagvattnet, utnyttja dagvattendammens form där dagvattendammens hydrauliska effektivitet utnyttjas maximalt samt anlägga fördamm med en makadamvall med vattenlevande växter. Konsekvenser: Flödesproportionell provtagning var tillförlitlig undersökningsmetod enligt intervju och litteraturstudie. Sedimentprovtagning av sediment i botten av inoch utlopp går att nyttjas i en generell arbetsprocess, men vissa föroreningshalter kan vara missvisande beroende på hur detaljerat sedimentprovtagningen görs. Dagvattenmodellen Stormtac och dess beräkningar kan nyttjas i en generell arbetsprocess eftersom Svenskt Vatten P110 (2016) bekräftar modellens beräkningar. Åtgärdsförslagen testades inte i verkliga fall, men effekten bekräftades i intervjun och litteraturstudien. Ett förslag på generell arbetsprocess kunde sammanställas. Stickprovstagning passar sämre in i en generell arbetsprocess. Begränsningar: Fallstudien har begränsats genom att utreda två metoder, varav den ena är dagvattenmodellen Stormtac och den andra är sedimentprovtagning. Utvalda föroreningar som tungmetaller, olja, kväve och fosfor analyseras. Studien avgränsas från att analysera hur recipienter påverkas av de befintliga dagvattendammar som studerats. / Purpose: At present are new stormwater ponds constructed to store stormwater which overloads stormwater pipe systems while existing stormwater ponds remains without overhaul. Since climate changes contributes to five-year rain in a higher frequency, which increases the flow of stormwater and causing more stormwater ponds to be undersized. In order to preserve social functions, are a general work process investigated of how municipalities can investigate and preserve their existing stormwater ponds. Method: The methods that are used are interviews, case study and literature study. The interviews contribute to solutions and proposals of investigation methods and proposals for action. The case study were performed in three stormwater ponds and examines the investigation methods that can be used. Collecting empirical data in a practical case, should increase the investigation’s credibility. The methods used in the case study are calculations, sediment sampling and document analysis of the basis of existing stormwater. Using literature study are the empirical data of the investigation analyzed with other sources to check the reliability of the empirical data. Findings: Several methods of investigations and action proposals were analyzed. Three investigation methods which fit a general work process were: flow proportional sampling, sediment sampling and stormwater calculations through the stormwater model Stormtac. The proposals for action which suited a general work process were: construction of a trench around the pond to expand the storage area, planting plants that take up nutrients and heavy metals tied up in stormwater, exploit the stormwater ponds shape where the hydraulic efficiency are exploited flat out by placing the inlet and outlet on opposite ends, and building trenches with a gravel embankment with aquatic plants. Implications: Flow proportional sampling were a reliable investigation method according to interview and literature study. Sediment sampling of sediment in bottom of in- and outlet can be used in a general work process, but certain contamination levels can be misleading depending on how detailed sediment samplings are done. Stormwater model Stormtac and its calculations can be used in a general workprocess because publication Svenskt Vatten P110 (2016) are confirming the models calculations. The proposals for action were not tested in real cases, but the effect was confirmed in the interview and literature study. Limitations: The case study was limited by investigating two methods, one of which is stormwater model Stormtac and sediment sampling. Selected contaminants such as heavy metals, oil, nitrogen and phosphorus are analysed. The study is delimitated by analyzing how recipients are affected by the studied existing stormwater ponds.

Atualmente as atividades físicas como contexto para intervenção em pessoas com deficiência intelectual (DI) tem sido alvo das mais variadas atenções. O número e a diversidade dos programas de intervenções motoras para essa população - como uma forma de influenciar diretamente alguns aspectos do seu desenvolvimento - têm aumentado significativamente nas últimas décadas. Este estudo teve como objetivo delinear um programa de ensino de futsal para pessoas com DI centrado nos conceitos das propostas táticas de ensino dos jogos esportivos coletivos (JECs), e verificar os efeitos dessa intervenção no desempenho das ações de jogo. A amostra desse estudo foi composta por 11 alunos com DI, com idade entre 18 e 40 anos, inscritos no programa de \"futsal especial\" realizado no Centro de Práticas Esportivas da USP (CEPEUSP). O programa foi desenvolvido por um período de quatro meses, sendo ministradas duas aulas por semana com duração de 1h20min cada, totalizando 30 aulas. Seis jogos formais, com duração de 8 minutos cada, foram utilizados para avaliação, sendo três filmagens pré-intervenção e três pós-intervenção, buscando abranger todos os alunos inscritos no programa. Para análise dos dados utilizou-se a primeira e a última filmagem de cada participante, observando a frequência das seguintes ações de jogo: progredir com a bola e/ou driblar, realizar o passe, finalizar, oferecer opção de passe, marcação atrás da linha da bola, marcação individual, marcação atrasada - classificadas como ações positivas - e finalização rifada, passe rifado, não atacar e não marcar - classificadas como ações negativas. Como resultado pode-se verificar que 9 alunos apresentaram maior total de frequência de ações ao término do programa, assim como aumento no número das ações positivas, enquanto apenas 2 alunos apresentaram frequência das ações de jogo semelhantes antes e após as intervenções. Considerando a soma das ações do grupo, nota-se que a frequência das ações de jogo positivas aumentaram de 262 para 347 após o programa, já as ações de jogo negativas apresentaram uma pequena alteração de 63 para 58. As ações de \"não atacar\" e \"não marcar\" foram as que sofreram maior redução ao término do programa, enquanto as ações de \"finalização rifada\" e \" passe rifado\" aumentaram na avaliação final, sugerindo maior envolvimento dos alunos durante os jogos. Como conclusão, acredita-se que um programa contextualizado nos JECs de invasão, sistematizado com base em um modelo de jogo que atenda as demandas dos alunos, abordando os conteúdos a partir das perspectivas táticas de ensino dos JECs, podem constituir um cenário bastante interessante para essa população. Os dados obtidos neste estudo denotam que a metodologia utilizada, amplamente difundida para populações sem deficiência, também pode ser exequível e eficaz quando aplicada à pessoas com DI / Nowadays, the attention from different areas has been drawn to the positive impacts of activities play when intervening with people with cognitive disabilities (CD). The numerous and diverse motor intervention programs focused on this population - as a means to directly impact some of their development features - have increased significantly over the last decades. The purpose of this paper is to outline a futsal teaching program for people with CD, which core is based on teaching tactical proposals through collective sports games (CSGs), and investigate the impact that intervention has on the game actions performance. The paper sample was composed of 11 individuals with CD, aged between 18 and 40 years, and enrolled in the \"special futsal\" program that takes place at the Centro de Práticas Esportivas da USP (CEPEUSP) (the Centre for Sports Practicing of Universidade de São Paulo). The program was conducted over a 4-month period, with 2 classes weekly, each lasting 1 hour and 20 minutes, totaling 30 classes. For assessment purposes, six formal games, lasting 8 minutes each, were carried out, including 3 film shootings pre-intervention and 3 post-intervention, with the aim of encompassing every individual enrolled in the program. For purposes of data analysis, the first and last filming of each participant were used, so that the frequency of the following game actions could be observed: moving forward with the ball and/or dribbling, passing the ball to other teammate, kicking towards the goal, positioning in pitch so as to be an option to receive a pass, marking between the forwards and the goal, man-to-man marking, late marking - all these classified as positive actions - and kicking the ball with no direction, making a pass with no direction, not attacking and not marking - all these were classified as negative actions. As a result, at the program\'s end it could be noted that 9 individuals showed an increase in the actions frequency in the aggregate, as well as an increased number of positive actions, whereas only 2 individuals showed similar frequency of actions both before and after intervention. Taking into account the whole group\'s actions in the aggregate, it is noted that frequency of positive game actions increased from 262 to 347 after the program conclusion, while negative game actions showed a slight change, from 63 to 58. At the end of the program, \"not attacking\" and \"not marking\" were the actions that experienced most significant decreases, whereas \"kicking with no direction\" and \"making a pass with no direction\" showed an increase at the final assessment, which suggests that individuals became more involved when they were playing. In conclusion, a program which context is invasion-type CSGs, based on a game model that meet the individuals\' demands and that address content derived from tactical viewpoints of CSGs teaching can be a rather interesting scenario for this population. Data gained from this study denote that the methodology used, which is largely disseminated among populations with no deficiencies, can be as feasible and efficient as when applied to people with CD

Nas aulas de Geometria, de modo geral, reconhece-se uma polarização entre atividades perceptivas, manipulativas - que são propostas principalmente nas primeiras séries da escolarização - e a sistematização conceitual, a teorização, sendo ela formal ou informal, nas séries seguintes. Em outras palavras, não há articulação entre os processos que dizem respeito à percepção com aqueles teóricos que se referem à concepção. Esse caminho geralmente faz com que os alunos não compreendam a Geometria, não construam um conhecimento significativo. Neste trabalho, consideramos que, em todos os níveis do ensino, é fundamental a articulação entre a percepção e a concepção e que, juntamente com elas, duas outras dimensões da dinâmica do processo de construção do conhecimento geométrico - a construção e a representação - são essenciais. A primeira refere-se à elaboração de materiais em sentido físico e a segunda, à reprodução, por meio de desenhos, de objetos percebidos ou construídos. Partindo do referencial teórico estabelecido, foi feito primeiramente, um estudo histórico a respeito do ensino da Geometria, particularmente no período que vai da 5ª até a 8ª série do Ensino Fundamental, ou seja, investigou-se como as principais Propostas Curriculares instituídas no sistema nacional de ensino, abordaram a articulação entre os quatro processos fundamentais na construção do conhecimento geométrico. Amparando-se nesse estudo histórico, observou-se a existência ou não de equilíbrio e trânsito entre os quatro aspectos, no caso específico de alguns livros didáticos que foram usados por alunos e professores desde o século XIX, mais especificamente desde a criação do Colégio Pedro II, no ano de 1837, até os dias atuais. Os resultados revelaram que, em todas as épocas, os autores dos livros didáticos sempre abordaram a representação no ensino da Geometria. Já com relação à construção não ocorreu o mesmo, ela foi estimulada apenas em alguns dos livros selecionados. Por fim, concluímos que, alguns dos livros didáticos analisados, são compatíveis com o referencial teórico estabelecido. Isso significa que, mesmo considerando livros mais antigos, sempre existiram autores que se preocuparam em articular os quatro processos fundamentais no ensino da Geometria. Finalizando, propomos um conjunto de atividades com o tema \"Razão Áurea\", para serem aplicadas em sala de aula. Essas atividades foram elaboradas de forma tal a respeitar os atuais PCN\'s e estabelecendo a articulação entre a percepção, a construção, a representação e a concepção. / In Geometry classes, in general way, are recognized a polarization between perceptive activities, manipulative - that are mainly propose in the firsts steps of education - and a conceptual systematization, a theorization, being formal or informal, in the following grades. In other words, there is no articulation between the processes that concern perception with those theoretical ones who concern conception. Generally these ways do that student do not understand the Geometry, do not build a concrete knowledge. In this work, considering that, in all levels of education, is fundamental the articulation between the perception and the conception and, together with then, two others dimensions of the dynamics constructions processes of the geometric knowledge - construction and representation - are essentials. The first one is related to elaboration of materials in physical way and the second one, to reproduction, by drawing, of perceived or constructed objects. Starting with theoretical referential established, first was done, a historical study about the Geometry teaching, particularly in the period around fifth grade to eighth grade of the Ensino Fundamental, in other words, investigated as the mains Curricular Proposals instituted in the national\'s education system, approaching the articulation between the four fundamental process necessary to construct the geometric knowledge. Supporting in these historical study, become notice the existence or not of a equilibrium and transit between the four aspects, in the specific case of some didactics books who was used by students and teachers since the XIX century, more specifically since the creation of the Colégio Pedro II, in the year 1837, until current day. The result shows that, in all times, authors of didactic books always approached the representation in the geometry teaching. With the construction doesn\'t occur the same fate, it was stimulated only in a few selected books. Finally, we conclude that, in a few didactic books that was investigated, are harmonious with the theoretical referential established. This means that, just considering older books, always existed authors who was preoccupied with an articulation between the four basics processes in Geometry teaching. Finishing, we propose a set of activities with the subject \"Golden Ratio\", to be applied in classroom. These activities were elaborated respecting the PCN\'s (National Curricular Parameters) and establishing the articulation between perception, construction, representation and conception.
