There are several advantages of capital markets integration, such as increasing overall market liquidity, improving the scope for diversification and risk sharing. Therefore, the European institutions try to boost capital markets integration among the member states. The aim of this empirical paper is to analyse the level of integration of the main equity markets in the Central and Eastern Europe (CEE): the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Romania and Bulgaria from 2001 until 2010 using an integration score analysis. This methodology was proposed by Akdogan (1996; 1997) and later extended by Barari (2004) and by Birg & Lucey (2006). The paper focuses on the developments of regional and global integration of these countries. Findings from this research can be of interest to investors as well as policy makers because the degree of capital markets integration has important implications for cross-border capital flows, financial management, and for the conduct of monetary policy. The results from this paper suggest that the opportunities for portfolio diversification are diminishing in the CEE countries. The diversification benefits were mainly reduced by the accession to the EU, but they did not completely disappear. The findings showed that the global financial crisis in 2008 brought about a rapid change in integration. Global integration increased during the crises, whereas the regional started to decline after years of rising.

This thesis deals with the integration of ICT services at the technological level. It mainly focuses on the integration of services which are provided by third parties and a user cannot change them. In this work are described the characteristics of web services and the typical methods for designing their application interface. Furthermore, are described various approaches to integration of applications at the technological level and some integration tools. As part of this thesis, was also created an application designed for integration of web services. This application can be categorized as message-oriented middleware. The aim was to create a simple application, which still meets basic requirements for this kind of applications. This thesis also contains a description of the created application and a description of problems that occurred during implementation. During the application development were used some integration design patterns, which are also described in this thesis.

Se investigan las pol?ticas publicas municipales de accesibilidad implantadas en los diez a?os subsecuentes, a partir de la sanci?n de la Ley Municipal de Accesibilidad N? 4.090 del 03 de junio de 1992, que torna obligatorio la eliminaci?n de las barreras arquitect?nicas para personas con discapacidades en los lugares de circulaci?n de peatones y edificios de uso p?blico de la ciudad. Accesibilidad, en los proyectos de arquitectura y urbanismo es la condici?n esencial para asegurar a cualquier ciudadano su derecho a ir y venir con seguridad, dignidad y autonom?a. Esta investigaci?n se concentra en los barrios de: ciudad alta, Petr?polis y Ribeira, ya que esta ?rea, en el per?odo ya mencionado, fue la que tuvo una mayor concentraci?n del presupuesto de inversiones p?blicas municipales de la ciudad de Natal, en la eliminaci?n de barreras arquitect?nicas en v?as urbanas. El m?todo adoptado fue el hipot?tico deductivo, a partir de la formulaci?n de dos hip?tesis de trabajo: la primera, una divergencia entre los objetivos propuestos por la Ley N? 4.090 y sus aplicaciones pr?cticas y, la segunda, de las diferencias que existen en el grado de entendimiento del concepto de accesibilidad, para eso, se realiz? una colecta y an?lisis de datos tanto emp?ricos como te?ricos. Este estudio tambi?n retrata en el a?o de 2004, con el uso de la t?cnica de la fotograf?a, la realidad actual de la ciudad sirviendo como un par?metro comparativo con los proyectos asociados a la Coordinaci?n para integraci?n de las personas con discapacidades. Se utiliza la t?cnica de entrevista con especialistas en accesibilidad envueltos a lo largo del proceso de implantaci?n de las pol?ticas p?blicas en la ciudad de Natal, durante los a?os mencionados, obteniendo as? un testimonio sobre las directrices adoptadas en ese per?odo, con base en la legislaci?n vigente. En la investigaci?n documental y fotogr?fica se realiza una evaluaci?n de la dimensi?n real de lo propuesto y ejecutado en un periodo de diez a?os, y se concluye sobre todos los avances y retrocesos de las pol?ticas de gestiones p?blicas adoptadas con relaci?n a la accesibilidad en la ciudad de Natal / Objetiva avaliar os avan?os e limites das pol?ticas p?blicas de acessibilidade na cidade do Natal. Investiga as pol?ticas p?blicas municipais de acessibilidade implantadas nos dez anos subseq?entes, a partir do sancionamento da Lei Municipal n? 4.090 de 03 de junho de 1992, que torna obrigat?ria a elimina??o das barreiras arquitet?nicas para pessoas com defici?ncia nos locais de fluxo de pedestres e edif?cios de uso p?blico na cidade. Acessibilidade, nos projetos de arquitetura e urbanismo, ? condi??o essencial para assegurar a qualquer cidad?o o seu direito de ir e vir com seguran?a, dignidade e autonomia. Elege uma maior concentra??o da pesquisa de acessibilidade nos bairros de Cidade Alta, Petr?polis e Ribeira, por ter sido a ?rea de maior concentra??o or?ament?ria de investimentos p?blicos municipais em Natal, na elimina??o das barreiras arquitet?nicas nas vias urbanas no per?odo. O m?todo adotado foi o hipot?tico dedutivo, a partir da formula??o de duas hip?teses de trabalho: a primeira, numa diverg?ncia entre os objetivos propostos pela Lei n? 4.090 e as suas aplica??es pr?ticas; e a segunda, nas diferen?as no grau de entendimento do conceito de acessibilidade, buscando nessas afirma??es a sua averigua??o com base na coleta e an?lise de dados tanto emp?ricos quanto te?ricos. Retrata com a t?cnica da fotografia em 2004, a atual realidade da cidade como par?metro comparativo com os projetos conveniados com Coordenadoria para Integra??o das Pessoas Portadoras de Defici?ncia. Atrav?s dos depoimentos nas entrevistas com especialistas em acessibilidade envolvidos ao longo do processo de implanta??o das pol?ticas p?blicas em Natal nos dez anos, se tem um testemunho sobre as diretrizes adotadas no per?odo, com base na legisla??o vigente. Na pesquisa documental e fotogr?fica tem-se uma avalia??o da dimens?o real do proposto e executado no recorte de dez anos, e concluem-se todos os avan?os e retrocessos das pol?ticas de gest?es p?blicas adotadas voltadas para acessibilidade na cidade do Natal

The dissertation covers the process of automatic software testing. It describes fundamental principles of tests creation and presents common tools for concurrent integration. The main objective of the dissertation is improvement of the automatic testing process in the Department Corporate Technology Development Center of the Company Siemens Ltd., which was realized through the plug-in module for the TeamCity tool that makes reporting of test results more transparent. At the end of the dissertation, there are designed extensions of the plug-in module that could have a further benefit for automatic testing process by means of the TeamCity tool. The dissertation also includes the manual for easy installation of the implemented solution.

This thesis presents an investigation of the possibility of using the fixed-point arithmetic in the inertial navigation systems, which use the local level navigation frame mechanization equations. Two square root filtering methods, the Potter's square root Kalman filter and UD factorized Kalman filter, are compared with respect to the conventional Kalman filter and its Joseph's stabilized form. The effect of rounding errors to the Kalman filter optimality and the covariance matrix or its factors conditioning is evaluated for a various lengths of the fractional part of the fixed-point computational word. Main contribution of this research lies in an evaluation of the minimal fixed-point arithmetic word length for the Phi-angle error model with noise statistics which correspond to the tactical grade inertial measurements units.
