The intricate concepts of ad-hoc polymorphism and overloading permeate the field of programming languages despite their somewhat nebulous definitions. With the perspective afforded by the state of the art, object-oriented Fortress programming language, this thesis presents a contemporary account of ad-hoc polymorphism and overloading in theory and in practice. Common language constructs are reinterpreted with a new emphasis on overloading as a key facility. Furthermore, concrete problems with overloading in Fortress, encountered during the author's experience in the development of the language, are presented with an emphasis on the ad hoc nature of their solutions. / text

Šis darbas supažindina su tamsiojo turizmo fenomenu, kuris Lietuvos akademiniame pasaulyje dar nėra nagrinėtas. Darbe pristatoma tamsiojo turizmo samprata ir formų įvairovė, visuomenėje daug diskusijų keliantys šios turizmo krypties etiniai aspektai bei didėjančio populiarumo prielaidos. Taip pat iškeliama tamsiojo paveldo problematika, jį išskiriant kaip tam tikrą disonuojančio paveldo grupę. Darbe įvertinama dabartinė tamsiojo paveldo situacija Lietuvoje, išryškinant tvarkybos problemas ir lyginant tamsiojo paveldo pateikimo turizmui praktikas su teorinėje literatūroje rekomenduojamomis bei kritikuojamomis. Išsamiai analizuojamas gana ryškaus tamsiojo paveldo objekto – Kauno tvirtovės fortų – atvejis, įvertinant šio objekto reikšmę, dabartinę tvarkybą ir tai lemiančias priežastis. Kadangi iš visų devynių išlikusių Kauno tvirtovės fortų turizmui pritaikyti tik du (VII ir IX), kuriuose vystoma muziejinė veikla, įvertinamos tamsiojo paveldo reprezentacijos juose: tiriama šių dviejų Kauno tvirtovės fortų vykdoma veikla ir jos atitikimas užsienio autorių pateiktiems tamsiojo paveldo pritaikymo turizmui principams. / The paper introduces the new phenomena of dark tourism that has not ever been analyzed in Lithuanian academic literature. The notion of dark tourism and the variety of its forms is represented. This paper also analyzes the reasons of increasing popularity of dark tourism in postmodern society and the ethical points of dark tourism. This paper concentrates on assessment of Lithuania‘s dark heritage and explains the reasons, why this heritage is in such condition. The main focus is on Kaunas Fortress which is an outstanding example of dark heritage in Lithuania. The representation of dark heritage in Kaunas VII and Kaunas IX museums are compared and also the Lithuanian tourist‘s motivation of visiting the dark sites is analyzed.

This study is related to the research line Integração, Política e Fronteira of the Post graduation Program in History of the Federal University of Santa Maria and aims to analyze the occupation of the Rio Branco valley by the Portuguese from 1775 to 1800, after the construction of the São Joaquim Fortress. It investigates to what extent the construction of the São Joaquim Fortress in the Rio Branco valley from 1775 and on favored the occupation of the region by the Portuguese and the construction of the far north frontier in the period 1775 1800. In order to develop the research, travelers and chronicles writers‟ reports were used as primary sources, in special colonial employees‟ reports. These were compared with documents about Grão-Pará and Rio Negro available at the Arquivo Histórico Ultramarino (AHU), iconography, cartography, among other primary sources. Alongside the study, it was observed that the construction of the fortress in the region of Rio Branco valley started, through its members, a new relation between Indians and non-Indians in that territory, brought the Portuguese State closer to the region which was object of dispute with other European conquerors and also led to Portuguese strategies to consolidate the occupation of the region. It was also observed the important role of these members of the military base as well as the diverse indigenous groups of the Rio Branco for the construction of the northern frontier. The indigenous people became very important historical subjects and were disputed by the settlers because the Indians‟ loyalty was essential to define the possession of the territory. In this scenario, it is possible to perceive not only a context of power relations between dominant people and dominated ones, but also space for negotiation, once the indigenous people tried to please their own needs. / Este estudo está vinculado a Linha de Pesquisa Integração, Política e Fronteira do Programa de Pós-Graduação em História da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria, e dedica-se a analisar a ocupação do vale do rio Branco pelos portugueses no período de 1775 a 1800, a partir da instalação do Forte São Joaquim. Para tanto, investiga em que medida a construção do Forte São Joaquim no vale do rio Branco, a partir de 1775, favoreceu a ocupação da região pelos portugueses e a construção da fronteira do extremo norte no período de 1775 a 1800. Para a realização da pesquisa, foram utilizadas como fontes primárias, relatos de cronistas e viajantes, com destaque para funcionários coloniais. Confrontando-os com documentos sobre o Grão-Pará e o Rio Negro disponibilizados pelo Arquivo Histórico Ultramarino (AHU), iconografia, cartografia, entre outras fontes primárias. Ao longo do estudo, percebeu-se que a construção da fortificação na região do vale do rio Branco, a partir de seus integrantes, inaugurou uma nova relação entre índios e não-índios naquele território, aproximou o Estado português do território em disputa com outros conquistadores europeus e ainda conduziu as estratégias portuguesas para consolidar a ocupação da região. Observou-se também o importante papel tanto desses integrantes da guarnição militar quanto dos diversos grupos indígenas do rio Branco para a construção da fronteira setentrional. Os indígenas tornaram-se sujeitos históricos muito importantes e disputados pelos conquistadores, com a lealdade dos grupos indígenas podendo definir a posse do território. Nesse quadro, percebe-se não só um contexto de relações de poder entre dominantes e dominados, mas também espaço para a negociação, com os indígenas buscando satisfazer suas próprias necessidades.

nÃo hà / SUMMARY The objective of this work is to elaborate and to analyze the paper of the real estate capital, more precisely of the seller of urban lands, in the urbanization process happened in the Fortaleza city, among the decades of 1950 and 1970. For that reason, we chose Josà Gentil S/A Real estate, whose evidences presented along the study allows us to affirm that it was the most active company in the market of urban lands of Fortaleza, in the considered period, be for the volume of businesses or be for the symbolic power that it contains in itself. We showed a theme- the performance of the Real estate, inserted in movements that concern the growth social- economic of the city, to the exercise in the several ways of power and construction of nets that they create and reproduze the dominance relationships in the extent of a social process of such magnitude , marked by practices (clientelistas, personalistas) and centralizing that they have been giving the tonic of the political and social process in Fortaleza. Finally, founded in the instrumental theoretical that guides us, we showed in an empiric way how the succession of social- economic facts went weaving a favorable scenery the performance of a linked social group to the real estate (fundiÃrio) section, that, owners the economical capital and social prestige, acted with opportunity sense aiming at, before any other thing the wealth accumulation and power, pillars of support of the groups and local dominant classes. / O objetivo deste trabalho à elaborar e analisar o papel do capital imobiliÃrio, mais precisamente dos loteadores de terras urbanas, no processo de urbanizaÃÃo ocorrido na cidade de Fortaleza, entre as dÃcadas de 1950 e 1970. Para tanto, elegemos a ImobiliÃria Josà Gentil S/A, cujas evidÃncias apresentadas ao longo do estudo nos permite afirmar que foi a empresa mais atuante no mercado de terras urbanas de Fortaleza, no perÃodo considerado, seja pelo volume de negÃcios, seja pelo poder simbÃlico que encerra em si mesma. Mostramos um tema-a atuaÃÃo da ImobiliÃria, inserido em movimentos que dizem respeito ao crescimento socioeconÃmico da cidade, ao exercÃcio das vÃrias formas de poder e da construÃÃo de redes que criam e reproduzem as relaÃÃes de dominaÃÃo no Ãmbito de um processo social dessa magnitude, marcado por prÃticas clientelistas, personalistas e centralizadoras que tÃm dado a tÃnica do processo polÃtico e social em Fortaleza. Finalmente, fundados no instrumental teÃrico que nos orientou, mostramos de maneira empÃrica como a sucessÃo de fatos socioeconÃmicos foi tecendo um cenÃrio propÃcio a atuaÃÃo de um grupo social ligado ao setor imobiliÃrio/fundiÃrio, que, municiados pela posse de capital econÃmico e prestÃgio social, agiu com censo de oportunidade objetivando, antes de qualquer outra coisa, a acumulaÃÃo de riqueza e poder, pilares de sustentaÃÃo dos grupos e classes dominantes locais.

Bibliographic note Putensen, J., 2019. Fortress Europe? Evaluation of Ideas for the Future of the EU. Master's thesis. Charles University, Prague. Abstract This thesis explores the use of the symbolic term Fortress Europe by political parties and move- ments in Austria, Germany, and Italy who are in favor of establishing a Fortress Europe and their ideas for what a Fortress Europe should look like. While the use of the term by left-wing critics of European immigration policies has been well covered in the literature, no author has yet analyzed the use of the term by political parties and movements that have started to demand a Fortress Europe since 2015. Based on an analysis of the appearance of the term Fortress Eu- rope in European media coverage conducted via the Factiva database, three countries with a relatively high use of the term in their media were selected for in-depth case studies. In partic- ular, the ideas of the following three extreme right groups were analyzed and compared: the Identitarian Movement Austria (IBÖ), the National Democratic Party of Germany (NPD), and Fortezza Europa (literal translation from Italian: Fortress Europe). It was found that their vi- sions of a Fortress Europe are very similar and aim to prevent any type of foreign immigration on a large scale in order to preserve...

Global civilisation, and therefore population health, is threatened by excessive inequality, weapons of mass destruction, inadequate economic and political theory and adverse global environmental change. The unequal distribution of global foreign exchange adjusted income is both a cause and a reflection of global social characteristics responsible for many aspects of these inter-related crises. ¶ The global distribution of foreign exchange adjusted income for the period 1964-1999 is examined. Using data for more than 99% of the global population, a substantial divergence in its distribution is found. The global Gini co-efficient, adjusted for national income inequality, increased from an already high value of 71% in 1964 to peak at more than 80% in 1995, before falling, very slightly, to 79% in 1999. The global distribution of purchasing parity power income is also examined, for a similar period. Though also found to be extremely unequal, its trend has not been to increased inequality. Implications of the differences between these two trends are discussed. ¶ A weighted time series index of global environmental change (IGEC) for the period 1960-1997 was also calculated. This uses nine categories of global time series environmental data, each scaled so that 100% represents the level of each category in nature prior to anthropogenic change; zero represents decline to a critical point. This index fell from 82% in 1960 to 55% in 1997, and will further decline during this century. ¶ Using evidence from several disciplines, it is argued that the decline in the IGEC correlates with major macro-environmental changes, which, combined with flawed social responses to scarcity and its perception, place at risk the ability of civilisation to function. This could occur because of the interaction of conflict, economically disastrous extreme climatic events, deterioration of other ecosystem services, regional food and water insecurity, and currently unforeseen events. Uncertainty regarding both a safe rate of decline and the tolerable nadir of the IGEC is substantial. ¶ Substantial reduction in the inequality of foreign exchange adjusted income is vital to enhance the development of policies able to reverse the decline in the environmental goods which underpin civilisation, and to promote the co-operation needed to maximise the chance that civilisation will survive.

Military Importance Analysis of the Olomouc fortress in the War of the Austrian Succession and the Seven Years' War Jiří Borovský Abstract The thesis focuses on a role played by the city of Olomouc during the War of Austrian Succession (1740-1748) and the Seven Years' War (1756-1763). Between 1741-1742, almost all Moravian territory became an operational space for armies of the Prussian king Friedrich II. The Prussians took the city of Olomouc, too, and made it their most important military and logistic base within the occupied territories. As soon as the War of Austrian Succession was over, the fortress of Olomouc was rebuilt fundamentally: It took a mere decade of an immense building activity and Olomouc became the most modern bastion fortification in the whole Danubian Monarchy. Shortly after the works had been finished in 1758, the Prussians invaded Moravia again in order to seize the city again. The author analyses both Prussian campaigns to Moravia. The thesis mainly deals with the conditions that involved both Austrian and Prussian parties at the beginning of the war. It draws comparison between both armies involved, and between the actual results of the wars, too. In particular, the author focuses on the comparison of the role of the fortress during the two conflicts as well as on the differences...

[ES] El fuerte de Santa Cruz está ubicado a más de 375 m, en el pico del Aïdour, en la montaña del Murdjajo. Es el símbolo de la ciudad de Orán, siendo el monumento histórico más visitado por los turistas como por los propios oraneses. Gracias a esta posición domina el paisaje urbano de la ciudad y por lo tanto su paisaje cultural. Su ubicación estratégica, le permite controlar la bahía de Orán por un lado y la de Mazalquivir por otro lado, unificando los dos presidios y controlando los accesos por mar o por tierra. Convirtiéndose de esta manera en la llave de la plaza de Orán durante la época española, lo que desencadenó una serie de proyectos para fortalecer su recinto y hacerlo inexpugnable. En manos del poder militar hasta los finales siglo XX, su recién patrimonialización le proporciona la clasificación como bien cultural nacional a nivel de Ministerio de Cultura. El sistema en su totalidad se ofrecerá para el registro en la lista de la UNESCO. Lo que nos incita a estudiar su evolución y entender su plástica actual a través de un trabajo de investigación dentro del marco del análisis histórico-arquitectónico. Esta tesis pretende analizar en base a los archivos históricos, la importancia del fuerte de Santa Cruz, su papel en el sistema defensivo español de la ciudad, y cómo evolucionó durante el periodo español: desde ser el talón de Aquiles de la plaza, para convertirse, a continuación, en su punto fuerte y un baluarte inexpugnable. Complementada con un análisis del sistema defensivo de Orán para contextualizar el papel de Santa Cruz. / [CA] El fort de Santa Cruz està situat a més de 375 m, en el pic del Aïdour, a la muntanya del Murdjajo. És el símbol de la ciutat d'Orà, sent el monument històric més visitat pels turistes com pels propis oraneses. Gràcies a esta posició domina el paisatge urbà de la ciutat i per tant el seu paisatge cultural. La seua ubicació estratègica, li permet controlar la badia d'Orà d'una banda i la de Mers-el-Kebir d'altra banda, unificant els dos presidis i controlant els accessos per mar o per terra. Convertint-se d'esta manera en la clau de la plaça d'Orà durant l'època espanyola, la qual cosa va desencadenar una sèrie de projectes per a enfortir el seu recinte i fer-ho inexpugnable. En mans del poder militar fins als finals segle XX, la seua recent patrimonialització li proporciona la classificació com a bé cultural nacional a nivell de Ministeri de Cultura. El sistema íntegrament s'oferirà per al registre en la llista de la UNESCO. El que ens incita a estudiar la seua evolució i entendre la seua plàstica actual a través d'un treball de recerca dins del marc de l'anàlisi històrica-arquitectònica. Esta tesi pretén analitzar sobre la base dels arxius històrics, la importància del fort de Santa Cruz, el seu paper en el sistema defensiu espanyol de la ciutat, i com va evolucionar durant el període espanyol: des de ser el taló d'Aquil·les de la plaça, per a convertir-se, a continuació, en punt fort i un baluard inexpugnable. Complementada amb una anàlisi del sistema defensiu d'Orà per a contextualitzar el paper de Santa Cruz. / [EN] Santa Cruz fort is located at more than 375 m above the sea, on the Aïdour peak, in the Murdjajo mountain. It is the symbol of the city of Oran, being the most visited historical monument by tourists as well as by the Oranese themselves. Thanks to this position, it dominates the urban landscaping of the city and therefore its cultural landscaping. Its strategic location allows it to control Oran Bay on one side and Mazalquivir Bay on the other, unifying the two presidios and controlling access by sea or land. Thus becoming the key of Oran during the Spanish era, leading to a series of projects to strengthen its enclosure and make it impregnable. In the hands of the military power until the end of the 20th century, its recent patrimonialization allowed its classification as a national cultural asset at the level of the Ministry of Culture. The entire system is offered for registration on the UNESCO list. What prompts us to study its evolution and current design through a research work within the framework of historical-architectural analysis. This thesis intends to analyze from the historical archives, the importance of the Santa Cruz fort, its role in the Spanish defensive system of the city, and how it evolved during the Spanish period: from being the Achilles heel of the place, to convert , then in its strong point and an impregnable bulwark. Complemented with an analysis of the defensive system of Oran to contextualize the role of Santa Cruz. / Metair, S. (2023).

In dieser Forschungsarbeit geht es um die königliche Modellkammer der Universität Göttingen. Diese historische Lehrsammlung hat bis heute zahlreiche Spuren hinterlassen. Trotz Professionalisierung der Sammlungsarbeit und der ständigen Einbindung der Modelle ins universitäre Curriculum der philosophischen Fakultät, insbesondere der angewandten Mathematik, existierten fast zu keiner Zeit angemessene Nutzungsbedingungen. In den 1880er Jahren wurde die Sammlung aufgelöst, wobei der Prozess der Auflösung in den Akten detailliert dokumentiert ist. Darüber hinaus sind bis heute 24 Modelle der ehemaligen Sammlung erhalten. Aufbau und Umfang der Göttinger Modellkammer korrespondieren mit den universalen Modellsammlungen der Zeit, deren Ursprung in höfischen, städtischen und bürgerlichen Kunstkammern zu finden ist. Genutzt wurden Modelle und Modellsammlungen zum Beispiel zu Zwecken der Machtdemonstration, zum Planen und Entwerfen, als Muster, zum Spielen und Experimentieren, aber vor allem in Lehre und Bildung. Neben der Erforschung der alltäglichen Praxis der historischen Sammlungsarbeit steht die Untersuchung der curricularen Nutzung mit der königlichen Modellkammer im Fokus der Arbeit. Dazu wurden einige der heute noch vorhandenen historischen Modelle der Sammlung eingehend untersucht, analysiert, in Bezug auf ihre historische curriculare Praxis befragt und individuell kontextualisiert. Besonders durch die Begegnung mit den Objekten ergaben sich vielfältige Fragestellungen. Letztendlich erzwingen die zahlreichen Informationslücken, die sich bei der Erforschung des alltäglichen Umgangs mit der historischen Lehrsammlung durch Schrifttum und Objekte zwangsläufig auftun, ein überwiegend heuristisches Vorgehen. / This research paper is about the königliche Modellkammer (Royal Model Chamber) of the University of Göttingen. This historical teaching collection has left numerous traces to this day. Despite the professionalisation of the collection's work and the constant integration of the models into the university curriculum of the Faculty of Philosophy, especially applied mathematics, appropriate conditions of use existed almost at no time. In the 1880s, the collection was dissolved, and the process of dissolution is documented in detail in the files. In addition, 24 models from the former collection have been preserved until now. The structure and scope of the Göttingen Model Chamber correspond to the universal model collections of the time, whose origins can be found in courtly, municipal and bourgeois art chambers. Models and model collections for example were used for purposes of demonstrating power, for planning and designing, as patterns, for playing and experimenting, but above all in teaching and education. In addition to researching the everyday practice of historical collection work, the focus is on investigating curricular use with the royal model chamber. To this end, some of the historical models of the collection that still exist today were examined in detail, analysed, questioned in relation to their historical curricular practice and individually contextualised. Especially through the encounter with the objects, a variety of questions emerged. Ultimately, the numerous gaps in information that inevitably open up when researching the everyday use of the historical teaching collection through written material and objects force a predominantly heuristic approach.
