This work deals with the URBACT II Operational Programme and EU supporting the development of cities. The introductory part describes the development of URBAN I and II initiative and comprehensively analyzes the URBACT II - who can participate in it, what projects and themes are supported, how is the program managed, etc. It also focuses on the analysis of European cities involved in this program and the expected development in the period 2014 to 2020. The work also includes evaluation of the involvement of Czech cities in the URBACT. Analyzes which cities are involved in projects and what topics these projects deal with, what is their output or what are their impacts.

In this regard, the social question has become more evident, showing even more social problems of nations. Because being the university a multidimensional space, the study of social responsibility in the context of traffic makes it possible to include the citizenship issue in higher education, providing for discussions about the strengthening of social and individual rights, equality and justice as supreme values of a democratic society. This survey found the University Social Responsibility from the perspective of the extent the actions of Black Outreach Program Initiatives: sharing experiences from the perspective of Course IN (2011), its coverage nationwide and its impacts in the region of Cariri. In order to achieve the outlined purposes an exploratory study was conducted. The field and the research population were fellows of the Third Course IN (2011) and the participants in the Cariri. The following data collection techniques used were: Application forms of scholarship recipients, questionnaires and field diary, which are instruments of support needed for data collection. The collected data were categorized into two major groups: those that evaluate the impacts of black outreach program initiatives through courses in Event III (2011), at the national level, those that evaluate the impact of that program from the participants' perceptions from the region of Cariri. Data analysis was based on a comprehensive approach, which values the qualitative data analysis. For the interpretation of qualitative data from this study we used the method of interpretation of meanings. The analysis shows the impacts of Course IN (2011). These impacts caused by this action denoted the social responsibility of the University Extension Program Initiatives Black: exchanging experiences. / Nas últimas décadas, a globalização mudou o ambiente empresarial, influenciando significativamente o gerenciamento dos negócios, fator que contribui para a incorporação da responsabilidade social nas instituições. Nesse contexto, as questões sociais tornaram-se mais visíveis, evidenciando ainda mais as problemáticas sociais das nações. Por ser a universidade um espaço multidimensional, o estudo da responsabilidade social no contexto torna possível a inclusão da temática cidadania no ensino superior, proporcionando discussões para o fortalecimento acerca dos direitos sociais e individuais. A pesquisa verificou a Responsabilidade Social Universitária sob a ótica da extensão nas ações do Programa de Extensão Iniciativas Negras: trocando experiências, na perspectiva do III Curso IN (2011), sua abrangência em nível nacional e seus impactos na região do cariri. De modo a atingir os propósitos traçados, foi realizado um estudo exploratório. O campo e população da pesquisa foram os bolsistas do III Curso IN (2011) e os participantes dos minicursos e oficinas da região do Cariri que fazem parte de projetos/movimentos sociais. As técnicas de coleta de dados utilizadas foram: formulários de inscrição dos bolsistas selecionados, questionários e diário de campo, os quais são instrumentos de suporte necessários para coleta de dados. Os dados coletados foram categorizados em dois grandes conjuntos: os que avaliam a abrangência do programa de extensão iniciativas negras, através do evento III Curso IN (2011), em nível nacional e; os que avaliam o impacto do referido programa a partir da percepção dos participantes oriundos da região do Cariri. A análise dos dados foi fundamentada em uma abordagem compreensiva, que preza a análise qualitativa dos dados. Para a interpretação dos dados qualitativos, utilizou-se o Método de Interpretação de Sentidos. As análises realizadas evidenciaram a abrangência do referido Curso em nível nacional e os impactos sociais em nível local. Os impactos provocados por essa ação denotaram a responsabilidade social universitária do Programa de Extensão Iniciativas Negras: trocando experiências.

This master‘s thesis deals with the design of horizontal heat recovery steam generators (HRSG) with two pressure levels after a combustion turbine. In the introduction part is performed thermal calculation and proposal of a heat transfer surfaces. Furthermore, are suggested dimensions of the drums and pipes for flooding and transferring. The emphasis is placed on the fulfillment the required parameters of steam and flue gas at HRSG outlet. At the end is calculated loss of boiler draft and made technical documentation a drawing of the boiler.

Vid idrott utomhus i minusgrader utsätts andningssystemet för stora påfrestningar, luften är kall och torr vilket skadar och irriterar luftvägarna. För att undvika det kan man använda fukt- och värmeväxlare (HME). Dagens produkter har dålig passform vilket leder till läckage av luft. Syftet med projektet är att fler vinteratleter ska vilja använda HME och därmed förebygga förekomsten av andningssjukdomar. De tre delmålen för projektet är att tillverka minst en prototyp, den tillverkade prototypen ska ha bättre passform än dagens produkter och minst en lösning för slemhantering ska presenteras. Med hjälp av litteraturstudier lades en kunskapsgrund inom området. Verktyg som branschanalys, intressentanalys och målspecifikation gjorde konceptgenereringen rikare. Största delen av projektet lades i prototyptillverkning. Två prototyper kunde till slut presenteras, Winterflow och Winterflow Pro. Det är två additivt tillverkade masker med tillhörande filter som konstruerats i ett datormodelleringsprogram. Prototyperna validerades med hjälp av användartester. Prototyperna upplevs för en del testpersoner ha bättre passform än dagens produkter, men ingen statistisk signifikant skillnad gick att bevisa. Målen och syftet uppfylldes delvis och en bredare grund för vidare forskning fastställdes. / When performing sports outdoors during sub-zero conditions the respiratory system is exposed to great stress, the air is cold and dry, which damages and irritates the airways. To avoid this, the athletes can use heat and moisture exchanging devices (HME). Today’s products have a poor fit, which leads to leakage of the air. The aim of the project is to increase the usage of HME for winter athletes and thereby prevent the occurrence of respiratory diseases. The three objectives for the project are to manufacture at least one prototype, the prototype shall have a better fit than today’s products and at least one solution for handling saliva matter shall be presented. By carrying out literature studies, a foundation of knowledge was laid in the area. With the help of different analysis and tools, the concept generation were richer, resulting in more solutions. The main part of the project was put into prototyping. Two prototypes could be presented at the end, Winterflow and Winterflow Pro. Two additive manufactured masks with associated filters constructed in a computer modelling program. The prototypes were validated by user tests. The prototypes were perceived by some testers to have a better fit than today’s products, but no statistically significance could be proven. The aim and objectives were partly met, and a broader foundation of knowledge for further research was established. / <p>Betygsdatum 2023-06-07</p>

This master‘s thesis deals with design of vertical heat recovery steam generators (HRSG). In the introduction part is performed description and distribution HRSG, thermal calculation, proposal of a heat transfer surfaces and choice of materials. Finally is executed aerodynamic calculation, hydraulic calculation and then are suggested dimensions of the drums. Thesis also includes technical documentation of the boiler.

This theses work is concerned with assessment of transfer line exchanger behind pusher furnace. First part is describing technical characteristic and parametres. The most important part of this theses is thermic calculation of the boiler. Last following part is concerned with suggestions of constructional modifications of heating surface for proper functioning of boiler. These modifications are demonstrated by scheme in the enclosure.
