Thesis (MPhil)--University of South Africa, 2001. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study deals with the history and development of motoring publications in South Africa since the start of the twentieth century. An important aspect of the study is the examination of the profitability of specialist motoring publications that are in direct competition with motoring sections in newspapers, radio and television. The ability of the motoring media to draw advertisements - especially from the car manufacturers - is also scrutinised. In this study the problems encountered by journalists seeking information or feed-back from certain car manufacterers, are highlighted. The study also covers new technical developments such as the Internet and the numerous new motoring websites and closes with case studies of two new ventures; one which was successful, another which failed. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie handeloor die ontstaansgeskiedenis en ontwikkeling van die verskillende motortydskrifte en ander motorpublikasies in Suid-Afrika vanaf die begin van die twintigste eeu. 'n Belangrike aspek van die studie behels die ondersoek na die winsgewendheid van spesialispublikasies wat direk met motorbylaes in koerante, die radio en televisie kompeteer. Die vermoë van spesialispublikasies om advertensies te genereer, veral advertensies van motorvervaardigers, kom onder die soeklig. In die studie word ook gewys op die probleme waarmee motorjoernaliste te doen kry wanneer hulle inligting of terugvoer van sommige motorvervaardigers verlang. Die studie betrek ook nuwe ontwikkelings soos die Internet en die talle motorwebwerwe wat feitlik daagliks verrys en sluit af met twee gevallestudies van 'n suksesvolle en onsuksesvolle onderneming.

A análise é realizada a partir das Pesquisas de Orçamento Familiares do IBGE (1987 e 1996). Mostra-se a distribuição da posse de automóveis nas famílias em estratos de renda, os gastos com combustíveis, manutenção e aquisição de veículos, a evolução destas variáveis entre 1987 e 1996 e as especificidades das regiões metropolitanas. A análise dos padrões de consumo dos serviços automotivos é o ponto de partida para a reavaliação das implicações das políticas públicas que operam sobre a produção e o consumo de automóveis no Brasil. Dois campos de atuação de políticas são focalizados: o da tributação, enfatizando aspectos distributivos e ambientais, e o das ações de fomento e de política industrial / Abstract: This work aims to analyse the consumption pattems of motoring services in Brazil. The analysis is carried through from data of Brazilian Household Budget Surveys (1987 and 1996). Vehicle ownership, as well as expenditure with fuels, maintenance and vehic1es acquisition are analysed according to household income levels. Data for 1987 and 1996 and for large metropolitan areas is compared. The analysis of consumption pattems of motoring services is the starting point for reevaluating the implication of public policies which impact on the production and the consumption of automobiles in Brazil. Two fields of action of policies are focused: taxation, emphasizing distributional and environmental aspects, and industrial policies / Mestrado / Mestre em Ciências Econômicas

The diploma thesis deals with the issue of driver education and practice safe, dangerous and aggressive driving. The aim is to map the issue of safe and defensive driving and define the principles of defensive driving. The first part deals with the theory of defensive driving, which analyzes psychologically and legally sides of that problem. Another part deals with road safety, which is described in the context of direct and indirect indicators of road safety. The research then analyzes in detail the specific situation on the road that leads to accidents. This analysis is performed on based data of real accidents. Of particular situations accidents are then defined the principles of defensive driving.

När nya bostäder uppförs eller befintliga bostäder byggs om krävs parkeringsplatser för brukarna. Antalet platser som krävs fastställs i kommunala parkeringsnormer. Minimi, maximi och flexibla parkeringsnormer är några vanligt förekommande typer avparkeringsnormer som används runt om i Sveriges kommuner. Det är viktigt att forma en funktionell policy för parkering då efterfrågan på mark i städerna stiger i takt med en ökad befolkning. En funktionell policy är grundläggande för att skapa en balans mellan behov och tillgänglighet då de påverkar ägandet av bil men även val av färdmedel. Parkeringsfrågan blir en viktig beståndsdel i en tillfredställande stadsutveckling eftersom den påverkar markanvändningen och därmed möjligheten till en åtråvärd stadsmiljö. På senare tid har kommuner infört mobilitetsåtgärder i sina parkeringsnormer. Mobilitetsåtgärder innefattar samnyttjande av parkering, bil och cykelpooler vilketreducerar behovet av parkering. När en parkering anläggs försvinner möjligheten att bevara parker och grönområden vilket resulterar i förlust av biologisk mångfald.Växjö kommun tog år 2019 fram en ny parkeringsnorm som ersatte den tidigare. Den nya parkeringsnormen baseras på bruttototalarean (BTA) av en byggnad, zonindelning av kommunen tillsammans med mobilitetsåtgärder. I den äldre normen beräknades parkeringsbehovet för flerbostadshus till 0,5 parkeringar per lägenhet. Genom att undersöka flerbostadshus med varierande utformning och därmed olika BTA; är syftetmed arbetet att identifiera om parkeringsnormer påverkar utformningen av bostäder för att begränsa markbehovet av parkering. Studien undersöker också träbyggnationer kontra betongkonstruktioner för att se om förändringen av BTA påverkar parkeringsbehovet. Den äldre normen ställs mot den nya för att se om den nya kommer att minska antalet parkeringsplatser som krävs när nya bostäder byggs i Växjö, men även undersöka om den nya kommer göra det dyrare eller billigare att anlägga parkeringar.Av fyra undersökta typhus visade tre av husen att den nya parkeringsnormen leder till flerantal parkeringar än den äldre och dessa tre typhus innefattade enbart bostäder. Den nya normen kommer således generera ett ökat parkeringsbehov vid byggnation som enbart innefattar bostäder. Resultatet visar dock också att när byggnader uppförs i blandad funktion, där bostäder kombineras med lokal för till exempel handel, kommer färreparkeringar att behöva anläggas jämfört med den äldre normen. Resultatet visar då att i Växjö kommun är det fördelaktigt att kombinera funktioner vid byggnation för att begränsa markanvändningen vid parkering.Undersökningen visade också att en parkeringsnorm baserad på BTA vid träbyggnationer generade i sex av åtta undersökningar ett ökat antal parkeringsplatser än samma byggnad uppförd i betong. Det visar att parkeringsbehovet kan förändras beroende på stommaterialeftersom träbyggnation har generellt tjockare byggelement än betong och generar därmed en högre BTA.Resultatet för kostnader påverkas av antalet parkeringar som behöver anläggas. I sex av åtta undersökningar krävs det extra parkeringsplatser vid val av en KL-trästomme i ställetför betong, vilket leder till ökade kostnader vid byggnation. Den äldre parkeringsnormen, som genererade färre parkeringar, fick en lägre total byggnadskostnad än den nya parkeringsnormen antagen i Växjö kommun / In case of constructing a new building or remodelling parkingnorms apply, which regulate the number of parkingspots for its users. Minimum, maximum and flexible parking norms are common norms used in Sweden´s municipalities. It is important to form a functional policy for parking as the cities land receives greater demand in step with an increased population. It is fundamental to create a balance between need and accessibility as they affect car ownership but also the choice of transport. In order to succeed with a satisfactory urban development, the issue of parking becomes an important component as it affects land use and thus the possibility of a desirable urban environment.In 2019, Växjö municipality developed a new parking norm that replaced an older one. The new parking norm is based on gross floor area (GFA), of a building together with the possibility of mobility measures while the old parkingnorm was based on the number of apartments. By examining apartment buildings with varying design and measurements of GFA, the purpose of this study is to identify whether parkingnorms affect the design of homes in order to limit the need of land for parking spots. Furthermore, this study examens the difference in terms of costs but also if wooden buildings requires more parkingspots than a concrete buildings. The results show that in order to limit land use for parking in Växjö, construction with mixed functions must be used. This type of building generates a smaller number of parking spaces compared to the old norm that was based on the number of apartments. The study also showed that in six out of eight cases a parking norm based on GFAgenerated an increased amount of parking spots for wooden constructions than for the same buildings built in concrete. Costs are affected by the number of parking spaces that need to be built. In six out of eight cases, at least one extra parking space is required when choosing a CLT frame instead of concrete, which leads to increased construction costs.

This thesis examines the influence of advertisers on the content of printed motoring magazines through the method of quantitative content analysis. The thesis asks whether an increasement of advertising can or can not influence media's reporting on advertisers' products. The thesis examines three Czech printed motoring magazines: Svět motorů, Automobil revue and auto motor a sport. The theoretical part deals with the dual-market topic, in other words the theory of two types of media's customers: paying readers and paying advertisers. They can - and according to the theory they often do - differ in their interests. The advertiser is interested in showing his products in the media in the best possible light, on the contrary, the reader is interested in being informed as objectively as possible. The theoretical part is based mainly on McQuail (2009) and Jirák and Köpplová (2015), who deal, inter alia, with the dilemma of two customers. Part of the theory is devoted to several other research which have examined the same topic; e. g. in the context of Italian fashion magazines. The work itself is based on research questions that ask about a correlation between the amount of advertising and amount (and tonality) of editorial content devoted to the advertisers as well as a possible influence of...

1 Abstract The thesis "The image of a woman in the press at interwar Czechoslovakia" deals with the visual presentation of a woman who was an integral part of the First Republic press. The thesis attempts to provide an analysis of selected periodicals (magazines especially for women) in terms of the depiction of women. The thesis surveys the changes in society and lifestyle in this epoch of our history which complements the cultural-historical background of the time and familiarity with contemporary press. The thesis focuses primarily on issues of women's emancipation, which were at that time very current and projected also into all areas of the art. Emancipation influenced significantly the whole Czech artistic creation. We can find some evidence especially in the press, which also mediated the reflection of period. The thesis focuses only on the most important press at these times with regard to its scope. Eva revue was especially important for emancipatory efforts and is compared here with men's magazine Gentleman and avant-garde magazine ReD. The main part of the thesis focuses on the actual image of women, generally and in specific cases. The thesis deals with the image of a woman in selected sections of the interwar women's magazines - fashion, sport and motoring. The thesis compares some newspapers...

The work was reflecting the effect of basic swimming training and the water environment on the fine motor skills of the upper limbs in a group of pupils with specific learning disabilities. Part of the work is a comparison with a group of pupils of the same age with specific learning disabilities without said swimming training. The main goal of the work is to observe a group of pupils from a Prague based private elementary school with focus on education of children with specific learning disabilities and evaluation of potential changes in fine motor skills of the upper limbs. The selected group of pupils consisted of children diagnosed with one or more specific learning disability, such as developmental dysphasia, dyspraxia, dysgraphia, dyslexia, ADHD syndrome and Asperger's syndrome in ages 8 to 10. The training was a mandatory basic swimming training in third grade and happened during the school year 2018/2019 with total of 15 participants. Input testing for fine motor skills and test of level of swimming abilities were organised in the beginning of the training. Output testing was organised in February of 2019 after completion of 20 hours of swimming training. This was then compared to level of fine motor skills of a group of pupils of same age without basic swimming training. Key words swimming...
