Touto prácou chcem uvažovať a vytvoriť svet, kde Energia - základná a univerzálna sila - determinuje celkovú infraštruktúru globálnych aktivít a vzťahov. Dielo predkladá dokufiktívny príbeh budúcnosti postavenej na premise, že planetárny ekosystém tvorí jednu energetickú entitu, ktorá podlieha termodynamickým zákonom, nezničiteľnosti energie a jej transformácie z mechanickej na tepelnú. Taktiež ustanovuje, že všetci aktéri, ľudskí i neľudskí, majú na tento systém energetický dopad. V spoločenskom kontexte je každému garantovaný základný energetický príjem - 10000kJ na deň - a všetky ich aktivity sú cenené na základe ich energetického prínosu a nie ich monetárnej prestíže. Vizuálny jazyk diela je postavený na juxtapozícií obrazu spoločnosti Energetickej Spravodlivosti a špekulatívneho archeologického výskum prevedeného na území súčasnej komunálnej záhrady z pohľadu utopického status quo budúcnosti. Práve toto napätie medzi realitov a fikciou vyjednáva a navrhuje možnosti nastolenia takejto budúcnosti. Mojím zámerom je predostrieť sugestívny obraz globálneho poriadku, ktorý nie je len utopický ale i inšpiratívny a v zásade dosiahnuteľný a úsiliahodný.

Abstract This empirical study investigates how students in secondary school 7-9 learn the English language outside of school, in an informal setting, and how they can benefit from it in a formal setting in school. The usage of digital technology is more common nowadays amongst youngsters than it used to be before. Digital technology has become a part of young people’s daily lives, whether it is for social media, schoolwork, gaming or blogging. Most students in Swedish secondary schools have their own computers, mobile phones, and have the opportunity to borrow an iPad from school, if needed. For this reason, it is relevant and interesting to investigate how students use their informal knowledge of English in a school setting, and how teachers take advantage of that knowledge. The research focused primarily on how the incorporation of extramural English can be used as a motivating factor for students to develop their English language in a formal setting. The results showed that students who are given the opportunity to use their previous knowledge in the classroom, appeared to be more encouraged to engage in classroom activities. They were also more motivated to work with the assignments handed to them. Teachers who involved students’ interests and previous knowledge in the classroom were experienced in the use of different media in the classroom and had good knowledge about students’ daily lives and experiences, something that helped them establish a positive teacher-student relationship. Keywords: extramural English, out-of-school English, teaching materials, motivation, informal- and formal settings, students’ perceptions.

Bakgrund: Bolagsstyrelsens roll och ansvarsområde har länge varit föremål för diskussion. I Sverige kan man från ett legalt perspektiv se att övervakning av företagsledningen får en central roll. Ägare i svenska bolag har stor möjlighet att påverka styrelsens genom den svenska valberedningsprocessen. Ägare får genom denna process möjlighet att påverka styrelsens övervakningsförmåga genom hur de sammansätter styrelsen. Påverkar därmed vilken sorts ägartyp företaget har styrelsens förmåga att övervaka effektivt. Syfte: Uppsatsens syfte är att förklara hur olika ägartyper påverkar styrelsens förmåga att övervaka. Metod: Studien har genomförts med en deduktiv forskningsansats, där teorierna agentteori, resursberoendeteori och institutionell teori har använts för att göra en teoretisk modell som förklarar ägartypernas påverkan på styrelsens övervakningsförmåga. Denna kvantitativa studie genomfördes genom användningen av data om svenska börsbolags styrelser från 2022. Slutsats: Studien visar att ägartyper har en påverkan på styrelsens förmåga att övervaka. Denna påverkan görs både direkt och indirekt genom styrelsens sammansättning. Dock tyder även resultatet på att det är ägarkoncentrationen av ägartyperna som är anledningen till detta som stämmer överens med agentteorin. / Background: The role and area of ​​responsibility of the board of directors has long been the subject of discussion. In Sweden, from a legal perspective, it can be seen that monitoring of company management has a central role. Owners in Swedish companies have a great opportunity to influence the board through the Swedish election committee process. Through this process, owners get the opportunity to influence the board's monitoring ability by how they compose the board. Can what kind of ownership type the company has then affect the board's ability to monitor effectively. Purpose: The purpose of the paper is to explain how different ownership types affect the board's ability to monitor. Method: The study has been carried out with a deductive research approach, where the theories agent theory, resource dependence theory and institutional theory have been used to make a theoretical model that explains the influence of ownership types on the board's ability to monitor. This quantitative study was conducted by using data on the boards of Swedish listed companies from 2022. Conclusion: The study shows that ownership types have an impact on the board's ability to monitor. This impact is shown both directly and indirectly through the composition of the board. However, the results also indicate that it is the ownership concentration of the ownership types that is the reason for this, which is consistent with the agency theory.

Thesis advisor: Geoffrey Sanzenbacher / Labor unions are generally considered to be beneficial for workers wages and benefits, but have been on the decline for decades. This analysis questions why workers appear more hesitant to vote for labor unions now than in the past by investigating what factors influence individual labor union votes. Specifically, this analysis aims to pinpoint the effect that outside minimum wages have on union election outcomes. Using data from the United States National Labor Relations Board, Michigan State, IPUMS USA and the US Census Bureau, I generated two models – a logistic regression, and an ordinary least squares regression – that each predict the likelihood of union support based upon outside minimum wages, after controlling for a variety of factors including but not limited to the county unemployment rate, the existence of the Right to Work law, and county-level demographics. I find that the difference between state-level or city-level minimum wages and the federal minimum wage has a positive relationship with the likelihood of union certification. Specifically, I find that union support is most likely in areas where the local-level minimum wage is $4.18 higher than the federal minimum wage in the logistic model, and $5.13 higher than the federal minimum in the ordinary least squares model, ceteris paribus. Put differently, with a federal minimum wage of $7.25, areas with minimum wages around $12 are most likely to see union elections pass. Overall, these results suggest that workers are more likely to vote for a union when local exogenous economic environments are strong. / Thesis (BA) — Boston College, 2022. / Submitted to: Boston College.

New komplex of school buildings in Ostrava on Černá louka is the school with perspective for the future. It provides overall education and concentrate on maximum efficiency of learning proces. The idea links the theory with practical demonstration and intense learning with relaxation in nature enviromnemt. The teaching system support the independent activity of each individual and self-realization for everyone. The school allows some variability of internal organization of space and take into consideration the technology development and the capacity of youngsters to understand it and embrace it.

White depictions of Aborigines in literature have generally been culturally biased. In this study I explore four depictions of Indigenous Australians by white Australian writers. Thomas Keneally's The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith (1972) depicts a half-caste Aborigine's attempt to enter white society in a racially-antipathetic world that precipitates his ruin. Children's author Colin Thiele develops friendships between white and Aboriginal children in frightening and dangerous landscapes in both Storm Boy (1963) and Fire in the Stone (1973). Nobel laureate Patrick White sets A Fringe of Leaves (1976) in a world in which Ellen Roxburgh's quest for freedom comes only through her captivity by the Aborigines. I use whiteness and masculinity studies as theoretical frameworks in my analysis of these depictions. As invisibility and ordinariness are endemic to white and masculine actions, interrogating these ideological constructions aids in facilitating a better awareness of the racialized stereotypes that exist in Indigenous representations.

<p>  </p> <p>Protecting crops from disease requires continuous research because plant pathogen incidence, geographical range, and pathogenicity, are constantly shifting variables as agronomic practices and climate continue to evolve. The objectives of this research are to i.) evaluate field-scale fungicide timing programs for corn (<em>Zea mays L.</em>) diseases at multiple locations in Indiana; ii.) evaluate field-scale fungicide timing programs for soybean (<em>Glycine Max</em> (L.) Merr.) diseases at multiple locations in Indiana; iii.) continue to identify, document, and confirm the distribution of populations of the soybean frogeye leaf spot pathogen (<em>Cercospora sojina)</em> that contain the G143A mutation conferring resistance to quinone outside inhibitor (QoI) fungicides in Indiana; and iv.) assess the incidence, severity, and prevalence of tar spot (<em>Phyllachora maydis</em>) in Indiana. For the first and second objectives, field scale trials were established at three locations in Indiana from 2019 to 2022. No application timings at any location provided significant yield protection for corn or soybeans. To achieve the third objective, 165 isolates of <em>C. Sojina </em>were tested. In total, 24 out of the 32 counties sampled in 2021 and 2022 were documented with QoI-resistance. The fourth objective was accomplished by surveying Indiana counties for incidence and severity of tar spot. As of 2022, 86 out of 92 Indiana counties have been confirmed for the presence of tar spot.</p>
