Darbo tikslas: įvertinti aukštųjų mokyklų fizinės aplinkos pritaikymą žmonėms su judėjimo negalia. Darbo uždaviniai: 1. Išsiaiškinti judėjimo negalią turinčių žmonių problemas, iškylančias dėl nepritaikytos fizinės aplinkos aukštosiose mokyklose. 2. Palyginti aukštųjų mokyklų fizinės aplinkos pritaikymą žmonėms su judėjimo negalia. 3. Įvertinti ergoterapeuto konsultacijų poreikį, pritaikant fizinę aplinką aukštosiose mokyklose. Tyrimo metodai: remiantis D. Pilipavičiūtės ir G. Ambraso duomenimis sudaryta aukštųjų mokyklų fizinės aplinkos pritaikymo vertinimo rodiklių sistema. Ši sistema atitinka LR ministro įsakymo STR 2.03.01:2001 “Statiniai ir teritorijos. Reikalavimai žmonių su negalia reikmėms” pateiktus normatyvus. Sistemą sudaro 7 vertinamų elementų grupės. Sukurtos 3 anketos. Taip pat buvo atliktas fotografavimas, objektai matuojami metru, statistinė duomenų analizė. Kaune ir Vilniuje išrirti 26 aukštųjų mokyklų pastatai. Tyrimo dalyviai: 24 studentai su judėjimo negalia, 199 įgalūs studentai, 2 darbuotojai. Tyrimo rezultatai atskleidė tai, kad Lietuvoje nė viena iš tirtų aukštųjų mokyklų nėra pritaikyta taip, kad atitiktų visus sistemos normatyvus ir reikalavimus, dėl to studentams su judėjimo negalia kyla sunkumų pilnavertiškai studijuoti. Išvados: 1. Studentai su judėjimo negalia dažniausiai susiduria su šiomis problemomis: nepritaikytos durys, sunku pasiekti jungiklius, kištukus, nepritaikytos auditorijos. 2. Palyginus ištirtų Vilniaus ir Kauno miestų aukštųjų...

To find out the problems caused by physical environment adaptation for people with mobility disabilities in higher schools. 2. To compare the adaptation of physical environment in higher schools for people with mobility disabilities. 3. To assess the need of occupational therapist's consultations, adapting the physical environment in higher schools. Work methods: according to D. Pilipavičiūtė and G. Ambrasas data, there was composed the higher schools indicators system of physical environment adaptation. The system consists of seven items valued group. There were developed three questionnaires. The objects were photographed, measured with a meter, used the statistical analysis. There were investigated 26 buildings in Kaunas and Vilnius. Study participants: 24 students with mobility disability, 199 igal students, 2 workers. The results revealed that none of studied higher school is not designed in a way that meets all the standards and requirements of the system, because students with mobility impairments have difficulties to fully study. Conclusions: 1. Students with mobility impairments face the following problems: not adapted doors, it is difficult to reach the switches, plugs, not adapted the audiences. 2. Compared physical environment adaptation of higher schools, results showed that better adapted are higher schools of... [to full text]

The inter-population geographic song variability can be found in many bird species. One of the most interesting types are dialects, characterized by sharp boundaries between populations of individuals sharing the same particular song type. Despite many years of investigation there is no satisfactory answer to the question how these borders persist over the years at nearly same sites. Distinctions between dialects allow recognition of males from different populations and could influence the territorial behaviour. Various habitats, however, degrade the sound differently; it is therefore possible that specific habitats are preferred by individuals with specific dialects. Both social interactions and acoustic properties of the locality could also be only secondary factors and the dialect distribution could be the result of the habitat distribution either in present or in recent past. In this diploma thesis, several hypotheses were tested on the example of Yellowhammer (Emberiza citrinella) - a songbird abundant in open land with simple song and easily recognizable dialects. The thorough data concerning the habitats and dialect distribution were obtained at the dialect borders at two localities in Czech Republic. The reactions of territorial males to both foreign and their own dialects were also...

The dissertation is focused on the adaptation process in a certain Retirement home in Strakonice. The old age is the last evolution period of one´s life and the society should do its best to enable the people to spend this time in harmony, with sense of peace and joy. Nowadays, a pensioner is forced to think of the options provided by social services/social care in case that the health status doesn´t allow him to take care of himself sufficiently and independently or is not able to assure such care through his family. Then a long stay service in a retirement home seems to be an appropriate possibility. Joining such facility is usually considered as one of the most difficult situations that a retiree can meet with. It brings various risks as environment change with no knowledge of the area or people; it represents the loss or limitation of one´s autonomy, habits and privacy etc. A pensioner should properly consider this situation with his family, get ready for it and voluntarily decide to join an retirement home. The objective of my dissertation is to analyse the factors that influence the adaptation of retired people in the Retirement Home Rybniční, Strakonice. In the empirical part, there has been used the method of qualitative research and technics of demi structured dialogue for data collection. The research file has been chosen by the method of contingent defined selection. The own survey has been performed on a selected sample of retirees who complied with the given contingent conditions. The research showed that the arrival to the home for the elderly people is subject to poor health and inadequate housing situation, which represents a barrier to the environment for seniors.To answer the main research questions: What factors affect the adaptation process in the Retirement Home Rybniční, Strakonice? I can state, that the factors such as the home, the saturation of the needs, social contacts with family, friends and other users and active leisure more or less influence the seniors. The research results also pointed out the importance of self-sufficiency, which is affected by the health condition on one hand. On the other hand seniors are driven not only by the mission of Retirement Home Rybniční, but also by their own initiative to maintain the greatest possible degree of autonomy and self-sufficiency. The health status and the rate of self-sufficiency have a great impact on the process of adaptation and affect the individual factors of adaptation. This work should highlight the importance of the adaptation process of the seniors in the home for the elderly, which is not possible to underestimate. Furthermore, it should highlight the need for cooperation of the staff with the family, the importance of communication, environment, needs saturation and activities that can help to overcome this tough life step. Findings and conclusions of the thesis will be used as a feedback for the institution, where the research was carried out.

Un Centro de Interpretación de Cultura es aquel equipamiento arquitectónico que promueve la investigación, conservación, divulgación y puesta en valor del objeto que lo constituye mediante la revelación del significado del legado cultural o histórico a través de la interacción del público con la información expuesta en cada ambiente que lo conforme. Mediante el presente proyecto de tesis se presenta la propuesta del Primer Centro de Interpretación de la Cultura Cusqueña, proyecto que nace de un previo análisis de la problemática y la fijación de objetivos, y del estudio del lugar donde este se emplazará, para lo que se buscaron referentes existentes a nivel mundial y nacional. Posteriormente, se procederá con el análisis técnico del lote, y con la programación arquitectónica del proyecto. / A Cultural Interpretation Center is an architectural equipment that promotes the research, conservation, diffusion and valuing of the object that composes it by the revelation of the cultural or historical legacy meaning from the interaction between the public and the information that each room provides. This thesis project presents the proposal of the First Cusco’s Cultural Interpretation Center, the project was born of the problem analysis and the goal setting and the study of the possible project location which was achieved by the study of the global and national references, to continue with the technical analysis of the area and the architectural program of the Project. / Tesis
