The goal of ZOFF is formulated as a change of stagnation and increase in annual profit in term of 2 years, provided adequate low risk. The paper describes the outcomes and conclusions from a marketing research that highlights the key attributes of the company and its target audience. Way out of the situation lies in identifying the problem and its subsequent formulation. To achieve the objective are used various methods of creation and comparison of the criteria which define variants created. This process comprises a decision matrix for identification and comparison of risk scenarios. The output of the work is to evaluate and compare the resulting variants and recommendation to the elimination of possible threats.

This diploma thesis deals with the issue of impairment tests of long-lived assets in the context of the International financial reporting standards with a particular focus on IAS 36 Impairment of assets. The thesis is divided into several parts which deals with the issue of measurement and recognition of assets and impairment test principles followed by specific procedures of impairment tests of individual long-lived assets as well as cash-generating units and goodwill. There is a continuous comparison with the Czech GAAP and US GAAP as well as analysis of information published in financial statements.

Assim, por meio da análise de sua trajetória pessoal e profissional, compreendemos o contexto histórico, cultural e sócio-político com destaque à Recife. Considerando que para nós, Elza Freire se insere num escopo amplo de pesquisa, apresentamos o período compreendido entre 1916 a 1965. O trabalho assume outra dimensão a partir do casamento com Paulo Freire em 1944; sob esse aspecto do estudo, demonstramos a teoria formulada por nós, como Pedagogia da Convivência, onde teriam sido fundadas bases para o "método" desenvolvido e as "teorias" formuladas por Paulo Freire, possibilitando estruturação, fundamentação e consolidação das experiências com Adultos, o que nos remete à gênese dessa Educação no Brasil, com ênfase à participação de Elza como sistematizadora das palavras geradoras. Como metodologia, destaca-se o levantamento das diversas fontes de pesquisa incorporadas ao mapeamento bibliográfico, as descrições e análises dos manuscritos de Elza e, por fim a técnica da entrevista em narrativas. Os aportes da abordagem qualitativa foram utilizados e estruturados segundo uma lógica indutiva. Decidimos expor as décadas em ordem cronológica, utilizando fontes iconográficas inseridas ao texto para a composição histórica, o que possibilitou movimento e significado entre documentos, fatos e fragmentos, pois Elza é o sujeito que regula e configura as temporalidades da pesquisa. As considerações provisórias apontam para o surgimento de categorias "Elzanianas", acompanhadas de sua biografia, acreditamos encontrar em sua formação acadêmica e atuação profissional, informações que constituíram a educadora e intelectual, fundamentando sua prática político-pedagógica inovadora e vanguardista, cujo espírito crítico-solidário se consolidou e desdobrou em prol da humanidade; sobretudo, identificar a participação de Elza no pensamento e na práxis de Paulo Freire ao apreendermos seu legado para a Educação. / Abstract: The present research brings Elza Freire to light and exposes the debates and considerations about the results of the scientific investigation, whose main objective was to identify her contribution and show her influence onto Brazilian Education and particularly to Adults Literacy. Hence, through the analysis of her personal and professional trajectory, the historical, cultural and socio-political context was sought to be understood. Considering that for us Elza Freire inserts herself in a topmost purpose, the period from 1916 to 1965 is shown in this dissertation. From her marriage to Paulo Freire in 1944, the search gets another dimension; under this aspect of the study, we demonstrate the theory formulated by us, like Cohabitation Pedagogy which were founded basis for the "method" developed and "theories" put by Paulo Freire, enabling structure, rationale and consolidation of experiences with adults, which brings us back to the genesis of Education in Brazil, with emphasis on the participation of Elza and systematizing generated words.As work methodology we adopted a survey of resources, including the bibliographic material to the description and analysis of the manuscripts made by Elza, using the contribution of qualitative approach and finally, the semi-organized interview techinique through narratives. . The contributions of the qualitative approach were used and structured in na inductive logic. We decided to arrange those decades in chronological order explaining the historical essay by using iconographic sources, which could enable movement and meaning between the facts and fragments, since Elza is the subject who sets and represents the transience of this research. Interim considerations point to the emergence of categories "Elzanianas' accompanied by her biography, we find in her academic and professional activities, information that formed the intellectual and educator, basing her pedagogicpolitical practice innovative and avant-garde, whose critically - solidarity consolidated and deployed in support of humanity, especially to identify Elza's participation in Paulo Freire's thoughts and practices apprehending her legacy to the Brazilian Education. / Mestrado / Administração e Supervisão Educacional / Mestre em Educação

This thesis describes the design and implementation of an application for breaking the CAPTCHA. It also describes the history and evolution of CAPTCHA and the ways of its generating and possible techniques of its breaking. This thesis focuses on the new types of CAPTCHA, based on hard character segmentation. So the main target of this thesis is the design and implementation of the new segmentation method, allowing the recognition of modern CAPTCHAs, especially reCAPTCHA.

Master's thesis studies the possibilities of generating 3D trees using variety of methods including context-free grammars and L-systems. Master's thesis also includes chapter on evolutionary and genetic algorithms, which briefly summarize their function. In this project genetic algorithm which takes 2D image of tree and the beginning of its trunk is proposed. Based on this information it will generate 3D tree which is visually close to the original image. In addition to methods of generating trees, reader will get information about processing input image and designing test application.

On étudie les propriétés de rigidité symplectique des difféomorphismes hamiltoniens en dimension finie et en dimension infinie. En dimension finie, les outils principaux qu'on utilise sont les fonctions génératrices et les capacités symplectiques. En dimension infinie on regarde les flots des équations en dérivées partielles (EDPs) hamiltoniennes et, en particulier, les flots qui peuvent être approchés uniformément par des flots hamiltoniens de dimension finie.Dans la première partie de la thèse on étudie les sélecteurs d'action définies à partir des fonctions génératrices et on construit des invariants hamiltoniens pour les sous-ensembles de $R^{2m}times T^*T^k$. Cela nous permet de démontrer un théorème non-squeezing coisotrope pour les difféomorphismes hamiltoniens à support compact de $R^{2n}$. On montre à continuation que cette propriété apparaisse dans certains cas non compacts. Finalement, on explique comment ce résultat donne aussi l'information sur le problème de rigidité symplectique en dimension intermédiaire. Encore en dimension finie, on démontre qu'on peut utiliser le théorème du chameau symplectique pour produire des sous-ensembles invariants compacts dans des surfaces d'energie.Dans la deuxième partie on étudie les propriétés de rigidité symplectique des flots des EDPs hamiltoniennes. On se place dans le contexte introduit par Kuksin et on étudie une classe particulière de EDPs semi-linéaires qui peuvent être approchées par flots hamiltoniens de dimension finie. D'abord on donne une nouvelle construction de capacité symplectique en dimension infinie à partir des capacités de Viterbo. Puis on démontre l'analogue de la rigidité intermédiaire pour certaines EDPs hamiltoniennes. Cette classe inclue l'équation d'ondes en dimension 1 avec une non-linéarité bornée, comme par exemple l'équation de Sine-Gordon. Dans la dernière partie de la thèse on s'intéresse à un analogue de la conjecture d'Arnold pour l'équation de Schrödinger périodique avec une non linéarité de convolution. / We study symplectic rigidity properties in both finite and infinite dimension. In finite dimension, the main tools that we use are generating functions and symplectic capacities. In infinite dimension we study flows of Hamiltonian partial differential equations (PDEs) and, in particular, flows which can be uniformly approximated by finite dimensional Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms.In the first part of this thesis we study the action selectors defined from generating functions and we build Hamiltonian invariants for subsets of $R^{2m}times T^*T^k$. This allows us to prove a coisotropic non-squeezing theorem for compactly supported Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of $R^{2n}$. We then extend this result to some non-compact settings. Finally we explain how this result can give information about the middle dimensional symplectic rigidity problem. Still in finite dimensions, we show that it is possible to use the symplectic camel theorem to create energy surfaces with compact invariant subsets.In the second part of the thesis we study symplectic rigidity properties of flows of Hamiltonian PDEs. We work in the context introduced by Kuksin and study a particular class of semi-linear Hamiltonian PDEs that can be approximated by finite dimensional Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms. We first give a new construction of an infinite dimensional capacity using Viterbo's capacities. The main result of this part is the proof of the analogue of the middle dimensional rigidity for certain types of Hamiltonian PDEs. These include nonlinear string equations with bounded nonlinearity such as the Sine-Gordon equation. In the final part of this thesis we study an analogue of Arnold's conjecture for the periodic Schrödinger equations with a convolution nonlinearity.

In today’s information era, many news outlets are competing for attention. One way to cut through the noise is to use images. Obtaining images can be both time-consuming and expen- sive for smaller news agencies. In collaboration with the Swedish news agency Newsworthy, we investigate the possibilities of using AI-generated images in a journalistic context. Using images generated with the text-to-image generation model Stable Diffusion, we aim to answer the research question How do the parameters in Stable Diffusion affect the applicability of the generated images for journalistic purposes? A total of 511 images are generated with different Stable Diffusion parameter settings and rated on a scale of 1-5 by three journalists at Newswor- thy. The data is analyzed using ordinal logistic regression. The results suggest that the optimal value for the Stable Diffusion parameter classifier-free guidance is around 10-12, the default 50 iterations are sufficient, and keywords do not significantly affect the image outcome. The parameter that has the single greatest effect on the outcome is the prompt. Thus, to generate photo-realistic images that can be used in a journalistic context, most thought and effort should be put towards formulating a suitable prompt.

At the turn of the century, photographers started a transition from analogue to digital photography: a transition which took years to complete. The photographic landscape is now in a new period of development, with new AI-programs based on machine learning. These programs can be about (I) editing programs that aim to streamline the photographic workflow or correct pictures with technical flaws, such as reducing grain from a high ISO or enlarging pictures. The programs also incorporate (II) AI generated images based on prompting from an AI-artist, so called text-to-image programs like DALL-E 3, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion and Firefly 2. In this study we have done seven semi-structured interviews with Swedish photographers. We have used a postphenomenological theory based on Don Ihde’s philosophy. In analyzing the material from the interviews we have used narrative analysis. The results showed that photographers who worked in advertising, with organizations or clients had a higher tolerance for image manipulation with (II). These photographers valued effectiveness in their workflow and saw a larger need to adapt to new technology. While nature photographers valued authenticity and used (I) sparingly. Another result from the study was that Swedish photographers do not consider (II) photography and do not think that AI generated images should be allowed to compete in photo competitions, only in certain categories with only AI generated images.
