One of the basic targets of economic and social policy is reaching the full employment, it means reaching balance between manpower supply and demand, productive manpower use and citizen´s right of work securing. Loading business of labour policy, in relation to unemployed, is to finance and create projects aid to risky categories, to groups and the most disaster areas. Labour policy can support the labour market trends only, but can´t modify it by the distinct way. Ministry of labour and social matters and regional authorities of labour (Bureaus of Labor) secure the labour policy. Generally State labour policie´s Resources dispartable on passive and active labour policy. Resources of passive labour policy first of all represent the job applicant allowance.

Title: The effect of active recovery and hydroterapy on the subsequent short-term and medium-term muscular performance Objective: The aim of the study was to compare the effect of two recoveries (ice pack, passive recovery) on the subsequent short-term and three recoveries (active recovery, cold water immersion, passive recovery) on the medium-term knee strength in the extension and flexion. Methods: Fourteen athletes in an average age of 26,6±4,4 years performed, in a random cross-over design, 2 sessions with 5 repeated short-term isokinetic tests and 3 sessions with 3 repeated medium-term isokinetic tests. The effect of ice packs and passive rest and the effect of active recovery, passive rest and cold water immersion were assessed by the 5x2 (time x recovery) and 3x3 (time x recovery) repeated-measure ANOVA, respectively. Results: The ice packs did not have any effect on peak torque, total work and average power during short-term performances. The average heart rate was significantly lower during measurements with the ice packs than during the passive recovery (125±15 vs. 135±20 tepů. min-1 ). We stated significantly lower changes in knee extension for the peak torque after the active recovery (↑ 0,9 N.m) than after the cold water immersion (↓ 14,6 N.m) or the passive recovery (↓ 13,9 N.m). The...

Satellite communication (Satcom) services are used worldwide for voice, data, and video links due to various appealing features. Parabolic reflector antennas are typically used to serve a cost effective scheme for commercial applications. However, mount degradation, roof sag, and orbital decay motivate the need for beam steering. Limited scan range beam steering opens a third option for electronic beam steering with lower cost than full aperture phased arrays and higher tracking speed and accuracy than mechanical-only steering.Multiple high efficiency passive patch array feeds were designed, fabricated, and measured, including a 2x2 MSA array, a stacked shorted annular patch antenna, and an SIW-fed hexagonal array feed based on PTFE material, achieving performance comparable to a horn feed. For multiband dual polarization applications, passive MSA feed solutions are also provided. Multiple MSA array feeds with high isolation were designed for dual band dual polarization applications. More functionality can be realized with multi-layer PCB techniques for complex communication scenarios.Limited scan range electronic beam-steering with a parabolic reflector fed by an active array feed which only needs gain control was demonstrated experimentally, leading to a low cost and effective solution for active beam scanning. A cost-effective flat-panel phased array with limited scan range electronic beam-steering was proposed by tiling high efficiency 4x4 passive subarrays and performing beam scanning at the tile level. The sidelobe issue was also investigated to comply with the pattern mask requirement set by FCC.To enable better use of circularly polarized (CP) MSAs for electronically beam-formed antenna systems, the impact of mutual coupling on the performance of high-sensitivity dual-polarized receivers for satellite communications applications was analyzed. A new analysis method for intrinsically dual-CP MSAs based on an equivalent circuit model and Jones matrices was proposed and validated to overcome the port isolation challenge. The model provides accurate estimates of impedances and S-parameters, as well as field parameters such as axial ratio. The feasible region for XPI and impedance mismatch factor is found for dual CP antennas. The circuit model enables multiple useful applications. Effective decoupling and matching schemes was proposed and demonstrated, leading to a high isolation, good match, and wide AR bandwidth dual CP MSA for satellite communications.

L'étude présentée dans ce document a pour objet l'étude de différents modes de réduction de vibrations dans les structures avec liaisons. Le premier mode étudié se base sur la dissipation d'énergie apportée par la déformation d' éléments piézoélectriques connectés à un circuit électrique adapté. Le second mode proposé se base sur la propriété de la liaison boulonnée à changer les fréquences propres d'une structure en fonction du serrage appliqué. Cette propriété est utilisée avec plusieurs lois de contrôle du serrage afin d'éviter les plages de fréquences critiques. Ensuite une étude probabiliste est effectuée pour déterminer la robustesse de la réduction de vibrations par rapport à la variation de certains paramètres du modèle. Cette étude de robustesse est effectuée à travers des méthodes stochastiques non-intrusives, parmi lesquelles une méthode originale proposée. Elle permet une réduction de la taille du modèle stochastique à résoudre, ce qui réduit très considérablement le temps de calcul sans perte de qualité significative. / The study presented in this thesis aims to explore other ways of vibration reduction in structures with bolted connections. The first way studied is based on the energy dissipation provided by the deformation of piezoelectric elements connected to an adapted electric circuit. The proposed second way is based on the property of the bolted joint of changing the natural frequencies of a structure according to the applied tightening force. This property is used via several control laws to avoid vibration on critical frequency ranges.Thereafter a probabilistic study is made to determine the robustness of the vibration reduction in relation to a variation of some model parameters. The robustness study is done through non-intrusive stochastic methods, among them a dedicated method that we propose. A stochastic model reduction is allowed which reduces dramatically the computation time without losing quality of stochastic results.

A resposta de uma célula é um processo com duas escalas temporais, o primeiro na escala de microsegundos para a polarização da célula e o segundo na escala de milisegundos para a resposta ativa devido a dinâmica complexa das correntes nos canais iônicos da membrana celular. O modelo matemático para descrever a dinâmica da resposta celular é baseado na lei de conservação de corrente elétrica em um meio condutor. Introduzindo uma variável adicional conhecida como multiplicador de Lagrange definido na interface da célula, o problema de valor de fronteira associado a conservação de corrente elétrica é desacoplado do problema de valor inicial associado a responta passiva e ativa da célula. O método proposto permite resolver o problema da distribuição de potencial elétrico em um arranjo geométrico arbitrário de células. Com o objetivo de validar a metodologia apresentada, a convergência espacial do método é numericamente investigada e a solução aproxima e exata que descreve a polarização de uma célula, são comparadas. Finalmente, para demonstrar a efetividade do método, a resposta ativa a um campo elétrico aplicado num arranjo de células de geometria arbitraria é investigada. / The response of passive and active biological cell to applied electric field is investigated with a Mortar Finite Element Method MFEM. Cells response is a process with two different time scales, one in microseconds for the cell polarization and the other in milliseconds for the active response of the cell due to the complex dynamics of the ion-channel current on the cell membrane. The mathematical model to describe the dynamics of the cell response is based on the conservation law of electric current in a conductive medium. By introducing an additional variable known as Lagrange multiplier defined on the cell interface, the boundary value problem associated to the conservation of electric current is decoupled from the initial value problem associated to the passive and active response of the cell. The proposed method allows to solve electric potential distribution in arbitrary cell geometry and arrangements. In order to validate the presented methodology, the h-convergence order of the MFEM is numerically investigated. The numerical and exact solutions describing cell polarization are also compared. Finally, to demonstrate the effectiveness of the method, the active response to an applied electric field in cells clusters and cells with arbitrary geometry are investigated.

Syftet är att undersöka hur självkänsla är relaterat till användandet av sociala medier, samt om det föreligger några skillnader mellan pojkar och flickor gällande självkänsla, spenderad tid på och beteende i sociala medier. Frågorna som ska besvaras är: (I) Finns det ett samband mellan självkänsla och spenderad tid på sociala medier? (II) Finns det ett samband mellan självkänsla och aktiv användning av sociala medier? (III) Finns det en skillnad i självkänsla mellan aktiva och passiva användare av sociala medier? (IV) Finns det en skillnad mellan flickor och pojkar gällande självkänsla, spenderad tid på och beteende i sociala medier? Studien utgår från en kvantitativ ansats och materialet samlades in med hjälp av enkäter. Urvalet bestod av 140 stycken ungdomar (13–16 år) och valdes ut genom ett bekvämlighetsurval. Deltagarna fyllde i enkäten under lektionstid. Enkäten var en sammanställning av tre olika mätinstrument, RSES (Rosenberg Self-Esteem scale), Social Media Engagement Questionnaire (SMEQ) och Passive and Active Facebook Use Measure (PAUM). Enkätsvaren bearbetades slutligen statistiskt med korrelationsanalyser och t-tester. Resultatet visade på svaga negativa samband mellan självkänsla och de tre variablerna spenderad tid, aktiv social användning respektive aktiv icke-social användning. Resultatet visade inte på någon signifikant skillnad mellan passiva och aktiva användare. Pojkar rapporterade högre nivåer av självkänsla än flickor. Flickor rapporterade högre nivåer av passiv användning, aktiv social användning och aktiv icke-social användning än pojkar. En möjlig slutsats är att det finns en koppling mellan användningen av sociala medier och individens självkänsla. Resultatet i denna studie visade på att hög användning av sociala medier kan vara relaterat till en sämre självkänsla. Det verkar även finnas tendenser till skillnader mellan pojkar och flickor gällande både självkänsla och användningen av sociala medier. Det behövs ytterligare forskning på den yngre generationen för att ta reda på hur den unga individen kan använda sociala medier på ett sätt som främjar självkänslan. / The aim of this study is to examine how self-esteem is related to usage of social media, and if there are any gender differences between boys and girls regarding self-esteem, spent time and behavior on social media. The questions to be answered are: (I) Is there a relation between self-esteem and spent time on social media? (II) Is there a relation between self-esteem and active usage of social media? (III) Is there a difference in self-esteem between active and passive users of social media? (IV) Is there a difference between girls and boys regarding self-esteem, spent time and behavior on social media? The study has a quantitative approach and the material was collected by using surveys. The sample consisted of 140 adolescents (age 13-16) and was selected through a convenience sample. The participants filled in the survey during class. The survey was a compilation of three different measuring instruments; Rosenberg Self-Esteem scale (RSES), Social Media Engagement Questionnaire (SMEQ) and Passive and Active Facebook Use Measure (PAUM). The answers were processed statistically with correlation analyses and t-test. The result showed weak negative correlations between self-esteem and the three variables spent time, active social usage respective active non-social usage. The result didn’t show any significant difference between passive and active users. Boys reported higher levels of self-esteem than girls. Girls reported higher levels of passive usage, active social usage and active non-social usage. A possible conclusion could be that there is a connection between social media usage and self-esteem. The result in this study showed that large amount of social media usage could be related to lower self-esteem. There seems to be a difference between boys and girls regarding self-esteem and social media usage. Further research on the younger generation is needed to find out how the young individual could use social media in ways that promotes self-esteem.

Avec l’évolution rapide des techniques de nanofabrication et les besoins croissants d’intégration et d’utilisation à moindre cout énergétique, l’étude et la manipulation de résonances électromagnétiques d’objets de faibles dimensions représentent des enjeux cruciaux. Un des objectifs de ce travail de thèse a donc été d’approfondir nos connaissances de l’interaction entre le champ électromagnétique et la matière. Dans ce but la réalisation conjointe d’expériences en champ proche optique et le développement numérique de modèles associés nous ont permis d’étudier différentes résonances électromagnétiques basées sur l’interaction lumière-matière au sein d’objets de dimensions sub-micrométriques. Dans une première partie, ce manuscrit présente les phénomènes mis en jeu en microscopie champ proche optique et décrit le fonctionnement du microscope SNOM utilise. La seconde partie est dédiée à l’étude de l’interaction d’une sonde champ proche avec une nano-cavité Fabry-Perot en régime non-linéaire. Dans un premier temps, on présente l’étude des non-linéarités de nano-cavités en Silicium à grand facteur de qualité et faible volume modal, démontrant ainsi l’obtention d’un régime de fonctionnement bistable pour de très faibles puissances. Dans un deuxième temps, on démontre la modulation possible via la sonde champ proche de ce régime de bistabilité. Enfin, on étudie dans la troisième partie de ce manuscrit les résonances de films minces métalliques. L’étude complète des modes propres et de l’excitation optique de cette structure a permis de connaitre avec précision les modes résonants et les angles de Brewster du film mince. Cette étude a été prolongée expérimentalement par l’étude en champ proche optique des modes résonants de demi-films minces métalliques. Lors de ces deux études, les mesures expérimentales ont été systématiquement accompagnées par l’analyse théorique et le développement numérique de modèles que les expériences réalisées ont permis de valider et de discuter. / Within the quick nano-fabrication techniques evolution and the increasing needs in low space and energy opto-electronic functions on-chip integration, studies and control of electromagnetic resonances of sub-micrometric objects are crucial issues. One aim of this work was then to improve our knowledge of the light-matter interaction. To this end, optical near-field experiments and complementary numerical development of models have been performed to study electromagnetic resonances due to light-matter interaction in sub-micrometric resonators. As an introduction, the first part of the manuscript presents the main phenomena involved in near-field optical microscopy and the used SNOM operation. The second part is dedicated to nearfield tip/Fabry-Perot micro-resonator interaction in the non-linear regime. In this part, we first present the study of high-Q/small volume Silicon nano-cavity non-linearities, showing possible bistable operation at very low incident power. We then demonstrate the cavity stability modulation obtain with the near-field tip. In the third part of the manuscript, we consider thin metallic film resonances. As a beginning, we realize an exhaustive study of the film eigenmodes and then discuss the resonant optical excitation of the film as well as precise determination of Brewster angle. These theoretical studies have been extended experimentally with the optical near-field determination of the resonant modes of semi-infinite thin films. For the different studies, experimental measures have been systematically associated with theoretical analyses and numerical developments of models, which have then been confirmed or discussed in light of the experimental results.
