This thesis develops a multidisciplinarily grounded account of the cultural causes of environmental problems discussed as a question in philosophical and sociological theory of social action. The approach is articulated by an original reading of Ludwig Wittgenstein's later philosophy. Part 1 of the thesis critically discusses a prominent view of the cultural causes found in environmentalism and environmental history with significant popular appeal. In this view, labelled the ideological approach, the human nature relationship is characterised essentially by our culture's alleged disrespectful, manipulative and materialistic attitude to nature that is said to have been internalised by the modern human being and to fundamentally drive our ecologically consequential activities. An alternative organisatory approach is suggested based on the view that due to division of labour of culturally and geographically dispersed masses, as well as the everyday character of activities in terms of which we collectively cause environmental problems in global industrial market society, no general ideological source of social action can plausibly be posited. An organisatory approach to the human environmental burden as a function of the collective performance by masses of a shared organisation of activity on a recursive, everyday basis is a more realistic account of the intensity of human environmental impact. Part 2 argues that the ideological approach in environmentalism and beyond can be seen to imply a form of collectivism also found in many classics of Wittgensteinian philosophy and social theory, an important common denominator being their ontological focus on the mental source of social action in shared conceptual schemes, normative orientations and the like. By contrast, in the Wittgenstein reading developed in this thesis, his perspective was non-ontological, viewing social activity as developing processes not defined by their mental source in shared conceptions but by their organisation. Social life is viewed as being based on agreement in form of life, that is, in organisation of human activity. The thesis is a rare and original attempt to make philosophy relevant in the discussion of a pressing contemporary problem that also advances Wittgenstein-scholarship to a novel area.

Rights and obligations of the agricultural land ownership The purpose of my thesis is to make a summary of rights and obligations of the agricultural land ownership, describe and evaluate problems related to status of agricultural land owner. The thesis is composed of seven chapters, each of them allows to come to know aspects of the land ownership. Chapter One generally represents an ownership of the land with accent on a constitutional right, because proprietary right is one of the basic human rights. Because everybody has the right to own property and nobody can be deprived unlawfully of the property. Chapter Two describes historical development of ownership and chapter Third depicts an object of ownership, i.e. agricultural land, thus which means as a component of enviroment and as a production means of a primary human livelihood. Chapter Four defines a land owner, especially state into role of owner and process of restitution and of sale state land. Chapter Five is devoted to rights. This chapter is subdivided into four parts, part one is about tenure, second part about use of agricultural land. Next part is about treatment of land and the last part pays attention to civil action as protection of ownership. Extensively there is described a lease of land. Chapter Six is the principal and incorporates...

60 (44 in the final sample) full-time or part-time employed or full-time student participants at the University of Central Florida were recruited to see whether a break in virtual nature will help improve upon executive functioning (EF) processing speed; especially in an EF impaired population. The main interest is that if virtual nature breaks aid with mental performance, then the application of virtual nature break can prove beneficial to both normal and, most importantly, the cognitively impaired. The lack of methodological consistency and the limited research on the subject yields mixed results in previous literature. The present study tries to address some of these gaps. Participants had to fill out a demographics survey, perform a cognitive load (Mental Rotation Task) and processing speed task (Stroop Color-Word Task), and then engage in a simulated 15-minute break in nature (video & sounds). Afterwards, they performed the processing speed task again to measure for change. The results failed to demonstrate that a moderately short break consisting of a nature video helps boost EF performance in the normal group. Those who demonstrated impairment in EF in the treatment group had to small of a sample size to be tested on. Numerous limitations and weak statistical power, especially in the impaired group, calls into question the validity of the study. As a result, the study findings are inconclusive.

This master degree thesis is focused on the rights and obligations of agricultural land owner from the perspective of right. Land belongs to most important sources of planet. Human being cannot alive and exist without agricultural land and cultivation of agricultural land helped to developed modern human civilization. Soil has been threatened on area and as well as quality especially by human, therefore is needed effective legal regulation with a balanced respect for property rights and the public interest in protecting of agriculture land and the environment. The main goal of thesis should be critically analyze on legislation (especially Laws, but also Government Regulations and Notices), regulating the ownerships of agricultural land. After general part of thesis, analyzing ownerships in general follows the interpretation of the ownership of land parcels, supplemented by the system and the development of land registration. The main part of thesis consists of a chapter entitled the rights and obligations of agriculture land owner, which is divided into modes of protection of agricultural land (in terms of area and quality), protection of larger area under Act on the protection of nature and landscape and other laws. The conditions of contemporary agricultural land are dealt in the last chapter of thesis....

Insere-se a investigação no quadro do debate contemporâneo sobre os problemas ambientais e a relação entre Natureza, Direito e Homem. A hipótese a ser analisada é a de que é possível, com base no sistema filosófico de Carlos Cirne-Lima (que tem em si a Teoria da Evolução através da Seleção Natural de Darwin e de neodarwinistas), propor uma fundamentação para o Direito. A metodologia adotada é Dialética (Tese, Antítese e Síntese). O paradigma pós-moderno nega a existência de princípios ou leis que sejam universalíssimos, que interliguem os diversos subsistemas, ou seja, que sejam válidos sempre, em todos os âmbitos, em todos os interstícios e para todas as coisas. Mais, ele diz que não há proposição que seja universalmente válida. E, nessa lógica, o Direito perde a sua racionalidade, fica sem verdades e, assim, qualquer decisão e/ou interpretação é válida. Mas, quem faz tal afirmação, ao dizê-la, se desdiz. Tal afirmação é uma contradição em si mesma, pois detona uma implosão lógica. Tomemos a proposição: Não existe nenhuma proposição verdadeira. Quem afirma isto está implicitamente dizendo: Não existe nenhuma proposição que seja verdadeira, exceto esta mesma que agora estou dizendo. Assim, entra em autocontradição. Não podemos ficar na contradição, porque quem assim fica perde a razão, não consegue pensar e nem falar. Com isto, já temos um dever-ser, uma regra moral que vale para todos seres humanos, o dever-ser de não-contradição, a contradição a ser evitada. Deste primeiro princípio de não-contradição se deduzem os princípios da Lógica (Identidade, Diferença e Coerência), e estes se aplicam aos princípios da Natureza (Teoria da Evolução de Darwin e neodarwinistas) e aos princípios da Ética (Coerência universal concreta). Os seres humanos, deste modo, estão inseridos dentro: da Lógica (só com ela é possível pensar e falar); da Natureza, na qual se encontram todos os seres que evoluíram e sofrem as consequências da Evolução pela Seleção Natural; da Ética, que está inserida tanto na Lógica quanto na Natureza; e do Direito que, deste modo, também está inserido na Lógica e na Natureza, tendo que estar de acordo com ambas – e, ainda, causa e sofre alterações da Ética. Assim, o Direito, uma criação da espécie humana, fica inserido na Natureza (Meio Ambiente). A espécie humana está inserida na Natureza e nos seus ecossistemas equilibrados e tem uma relação de dependência e de interdependência em relação ao Meio Ambiente, às demais espécies e aos seres existentes no planeta. Todos estão imersos na Natureza. Portanto, sem a Natureza, não há Direito, nem Ética e nem Ser Humano. Consequentemente, deve-se reconhecer a Natureza com o pessoa jurídica. Então, tem-se aqui uma proposta de fundamentação para o Direito de forma que fique inserido na Natureza em Evolução pela Seleção Natural e, assim, coloca a Natureza como sujeito de direitos. / The research aims to examine the possibility of a contemporary paradigm that places the Law and the Man in the Nature in Evolution and its Laws. This investigation is about the contemporary debate about environmental problems and the relationship between Nature, Law and Human. The examined hypothesis is that it is possible, based on the philosophical system of Carlos Cirne-Lima (which itself has the Evolution by Natural Selection theory of Darwin and neo-Darwinians), to propose a fundament for the Law. The adopted methodology is Dialectic (Thesis, Antithesis and Synthesis). The postmodern paradigm denies the existence of principles or laws that are universal, which interconnect the various subsystems, i.e., that are always valid, in all spheres, in all the interstices and to all things. More, it says there is no proposition that is universally valid. And, in this logic, the Law loses its rationality, stays without truth and, therefore, any decision and/or interpretation is valid. But who does such statement, in doing so he ends on refuting the statement itself. This statement is a contradiction in itself, it causes a logic implosion. Consider the proposition: There is no true proposition. Who says that is implicitly saying: There is no true proposition, except this one I’m saying now . In this way the person enters into a self-contradiction. We can’t stay in contradiction, because who does so loses its reason, he can’t think or talk. With this, we already have a should-be rule, a moral rule that applies to all human beings, the Should-be of Non-Contradiction, the contradiction to be avoided. From this first Principle of Non-Contradiction it is deductable the principles of Logic (Identity, Difference and Coherence), and the same principles are applied on Nature (Evolution Theory of Darwin and Neo-Darwinians) and also applied on Ethics (concrete universal Coherence). This way, human beings are placed inside: the Logic (only with it is possible to think and talk); the Nature, in which all beings that have evolved are and suffering the consequences of Evolution by Natural Selection; the Ethics, which is embedded in both Logic and Nature; and the Law thus is also placed into the Nature and Logic, having to be according with both – the Law changes the Ethics and suffers changes from it. Thus, the Law, a creation of the human species, is placed in Nature (Environment). The human species is placed in Nature and in its balanced ecosystems and has a relationship of dependence and interdependence with: the Environment, the other species and every being that exists on planet. Everything is immersed in Nature. Therefore, without Nature, there is no Law, nor Ethics, nor Human Being. Consequently, it must be recognized the nature as a legal entity. So here it is a fundament proposal to the Law so that it is placed into the Evolving Nature by Natural Selection, and thus puts Nature as subject of rights.

SUMMARY: The theoretical part outlines the historical and contemporary ideas about development of sensory sensibility of preschool age children, reflected in the Art Education and creation. Another part of labour deals with the probe to methodology of sensory education, explanation of the term, familiarization with the significance, and potential to settings the targets of preschool education. The last section of theoretical part is dedicated to possible frameworks of interdisciplinary contextures based on the children's aesthetic interactions with the living nature appointed in the Education programme framework for preschool education (RVP PV). The empirical part deals with the qualitative research of teaching activities of colleague from the discipline Teaching for kindergarten and their possibilities and the experience with the development of sensory sensibility and inclusion of this practice to tuition of Art Education. The practical part analyses the transformation of children in social skills, made within long-term sensory art project. The transformation of children is documented by proposals activities and interdisciplinary linkage from other subjects, from which the process of art creating based on, or conversely towards to, by art creating, further competencies, which are developed in the project,...

Tidigare forskning har visat att exponering för grön miljö tillhandahåller hälsofördelar. Dessa fördelar indikerar bland annat återhämtningseffekt av stress, trötthet och uppmärksamhetsutmattning, vilket är särskilt viktigt för universitetsstudenter. Därför syftade denna studie att undersöka om det finns en koppling mellan universitetsstudenters kontakt med grönstruktur i/nära studiemiljö och studenternas upplevelse av sin studiemiljö under covid-19 restriktionerna. Detta med hjälp av en dagbokundersökning som förstudie och telefonintervjuer. Analysverktyget bestod av teoretiska ramverk, Attention Restoration Theory (ART) och Stress Reduktion Theory (SRT). Resultat och analys har bekräftat Attention Restoration Theory (ART), där det uppges att gröna naturliga miljöer ger återhämtningseffekt och väcker uppmärksamhet efter en mental trötthet. Därtill bekräftade den även Stress Recovery Theory (SRT), där det uppges att gröna naturliga miljöer ger positiva effekt på stressminskning, -bearbetning och -återhämtning. Slutsatsen till denna undersökning är att grönstruktur har en stor betydelse för universitetsstudenterna, detta då alla väljer att vistas eller komma i kontakt med gröna naturen på ett eller annat sätt, till exempel gå en promenad i naturen eller åka till en stuga i skogen. Att naturen är en del av studenternas vardag verkar vara framför allt en omedveten upplevelse för de flesta och sker utan erkännande eller bearbetning av miljön. Dock framkommer det att processen kan vara medveten för vissa studenter. / Previous research has shown that exposure to the green environment provides health benefits. These benefits indicate among other things, recovery effect of stress, fatigue and attention-exhaustion, which is especially important for university students. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate whether there is a connection between university students' contact with the green structure in / near the study-environment and the students' experience of their study environment during the covid-19 restrictions. This with the help of a diary-survey as a pilot-study and telephone interviews. The analysis tool consisted of theoretical frameworks, Attention Restoration Theory (ART) and Stress Reduction Theory (SRT). Results and analysis have confirmed Attention Restoration Theory (ART), where it states that green natural environments have a recovery effect and attracts attention after a mental fatigue. In addition, it also confirmed the Stress Recovery Theory (SRT), which states that green natural environments have a positive effect on stress reduction, processing and recovery. The conclusion of this study is that green structure is of great importance to university students, as everyone chooses to reside or get in touch with green nature in one way or another, for example going for a walk in a green environment or staying in a cottage in the forest. That nature is a part of the students' everyday life seems to be above all an unconscious experience for most and takes place without recognition or processing of the environment. However, it appears that the process may be conscious for some students.
