This diploma thesis is focused on producing dairy cows and their culling rates. The general goal of this work was to compare and to evaluate the culling rates of dairy cows on 2 independent farms with free range farming system from 2012 to 2014. The diploma thesis provides the facts about culling rates in heifers and in cows till 90 days after calving, reasons to be culled, the age at culling, the age at first calving, parity when the cows were culled and the comparison of milk parameters at culling. The study was compiled from the detailed data about 474 dairy or combined utility cows. Farm Senagro a.s. Senožaty disposes pure-blooded cows or crossbreds with 51-100% of principal breed in blood. Only purebred cows are raised at farm Nečerák Vystrkov. It is obvious that culling rate markedly over 30% from all of the cows at farm Senagro a.s. Senožaty negatively influences profitability of this farm. Vice versa farm Nečerák Vystrkov belongs into category which accomplishes recommended value.

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2011-03-30 / Associação Fundo de Incentivo à Psicofarmacologia (AFIP) / Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP) / Objetivos: O objetivo deste estudo foi: 1. trazer à tona as razões envolvidas no momento que o usuário decide cessar o consumo de crack; 2. detalhar sobre as estratégias escolhidas por esse usuário para consolidar esse desejo Metodologia: Utilizou-se a metodologia qualitativa de pesquisa com amostra intencional por critérios constituída de 43 usuários/ex-usuários. Instrumentos utilizados: entrevista em profundidade semi-estruturada; roteiro de entrevista; informante-chave; triangulação. A amostra construída pela técnica de bola-de-neve e com a ajuda dos informantes-chave foi constituída de dez cadeias. As entrevistas foram transcritas literalmente, inseridas e analisadas no software Nvivo 8, com exploração dos dados mediante as técnicas de análise de conteúdo. Resultados: As razões alegadas pelos entrevistados para cessar o consumo de crack estão ligadas às perdas/danos pelos quais passam ao longo da trajetória de consumo. A vontade de parar não surge imediatamente após esses danos, como se esperaria, pelo contrário, o usuário geralmente vive um extenso período com várias perdas consecutivas. É só quando alcança um momento de grande Desamparo que o usuário passa por uma tomada de consciência de que é necessário fazer alguma coisa em função de si mesmo, e evoca, dentre os danos que sofreu, aqueles que considera mais significativos atribuindo-lhes o motivo para cessar o consumo de crack. Os usuários desta pesquisa comentam sobre o desalento (viver na rua), constrangimentos com a lei (ser preso) ou riscos de morte, dentre outras razões, expressando a percepção de uma situação que precisa ser revertida. Dentre as estratégias para cessar, os tratamentos formais foram as mais procuradas, entendendo-se nesse termo qualquer modalidade (ambulatorial, internação e grupos de mútua-ajuda). Conclusão: O trabalho traz algumas reflexões tais como: apesar das consequências sofridas pelo usuário de crack ao longo do tempo, parece que a sua decisão de parar o consumo dá-se somente quando ele alcança o Desamparo, o que pode significar uma busca tardia por tratamento para cessar o consumo. Este fato pode ser parte da explicação do porquê o usuário de crack dificilmente alcança a abstinência duradoura, repetindo ao longo do tempo o ciclo dependênciaabstinência- recaída. / Objectives: The aim of this study was: 1. Bringing out the reasons involved when the user decides to cease the use of crack cocaine, 2. detailing the strategies chosen by this user to consolidate this wish. Methodology: Qualitative research methodology has been used with purposive sampling by criteria consisted of 43 users/ex-users. Instruments used: in depth semi-structured interview, guided interview, key informant; triangulation. The sample was formed by the snow-ball technique and used key informants assistance and it consisted of ten strings. The interviews were transcribed verbatim, they were inserted and analyzed in NVivo 8 software, with data exploration through the techniques of content analysis. Results: The reasons given by the interviewee to cease the use of crack cocaine are related to loss/damage for which they pass along the path of consumption. The desire to quit does not appear immediately after this damage, as one would expect, just the opposite, the user usually experiences a long period with several consecutive losses. It is only when it reaches a moment of great helplessness that the user goes through an awareness of the need to do something to himself, and recalls, among the damages, those that are more meaningful by relating them to the reason to stop the consumption of crack. Users on this research comment about the discouragement (street life), constraints to the law (being arrested) or risk of death, among other reasons, expressing the perception of a situation that needs to be reversed. Among the strategies of stopping, the formal treatments were sought the most, it being understood on this term any modality (outpatient, inpatient and mutual-help groups). Conclusion: The paper offers some reflections such as: despite the consequences suffered by crack users over time, it appears that his decision of stopping the consumption takes place only when he reaches the helplessness, which can mean a late search for treatment to stop the consumption.This can be part of the explanation of why the crack user difficultly achieves a lasting abstinence, repeating over time the dependencyabstinence- relapse cycle. / TEDE / BV UNIFESP: Teses e dissertações

Os marcos da modernidade a secularização e a laicidade tem sido hoje postos em xeque por crescentes movimentos religiosos. As fronteiras entre Estado e religião estão sendo desafiadas e redefinidas. Dentro dessa renovação, coloca-se a questão da possibilidade ou não do uso de razões religiosas na esfera pública. O debate ganha importância no Brasil na medida em que o Pentecostalismo, ramo de Protestantismo em rápida expansão, fez afluir aos quadros do Congresso Nacional um número sem precedentes de candidatos eleitos graças à filiação religiosa. A análise teórica e empírica do uso de razões religiosas e da política pentecostal pretende jogar luz à questão, tendo sempre como paradigma, limite e orientação o fundamento último da liberdade religiosa: a dignidade da pessoa humana. / The hallmarks of modernity secularism and laicitë have now been called into question by growing religious movements. The boundaries between state and religion are being challenged and redefined. Within this renewal, the question about using or not religious reasons in the public sphere arises. The debate has great importance in Brazil insofar as Pentecostalism, a rapidly expanding branch of Protestantism, has flocking to the tables of the National Congress an unprecedented number of candidates elected because of their religious affiliation. The theoretical and empirical analyzes of the use of religious reasons and of the Pentecostal politics intends to shed light to the issue, using always as a paradigm, limits and guidance, the ultimate foundation of religious freedom: the dignity of the human person.

The purpose of this paper is to examine home-schooling for religious reasons in Stockholm’s municipality. The study was conducted by interviewing actors in Educational board in Stockholm’s municipality and families leaving Stockholm for home-schooling due to religious reasons. By doing so, the paper aims to find how the members of Educational board and the families interpret the home-schooling law, their view on home-schooling for religious reasons and to examine how the answers relate to the theoretical state-religion perspectives. The main research questions investigated are: 1. How is the law of home-schooling interpreted by Education board in Stockholm’s municipality and how does this interpretation vary from that of families’ who home-school for religious reasons? 2. How do the members of Education board in Stockholm’s municipality and the families home-schooling for religious reasons view home-schooling for religious reasons? 2.1 What theoretical perspectives on state-religion relationship can be found in the answers of the two groups? The method used to answer these questions was a dimensional analysis model for empirical interview-data. The aim of the dimensional model was to present and analyse empirical data to answer the research questions. From the families’ answers, it was concluded that that there is a clear tendency in answers in all the following dimensions: law-interpretation, view on home-schooling, and perspectives on state-religion relations. The same tendency was found in the answers of the members from Educational board on the law and home-schooling meaning questions (research questions 1. and 2.), but not on state-religion relation question (research question 2.1).

Em especial, a metodologia tradicional não parece ser a melhor opção para o ensino da geometria, sendo necessária uma reformulação do processo educativo, para o desenvolvimento do pensamento crítico dedutível dos discentes. A tecnologia computacional é uma ferramenta a mais para o ensino da matemática, não substituindo os outros materiais utilizados atualmente. Os docentes devem estar preparados para esse processo de transformação, sendo necessário atualização tecnológica e mudanças pedagógicas. Dessa forma, esse trabalho apresenta como foi utilizado o software GeoGebra para o ensino das relações métricas no triângulo retângulo. Foi observado que o uso do software auxiliou no aprendizado dos alunos, facilitando a compreensão do objeto de estudo e tornando o processo de aprendizagem mais prazeroso. / Mathematics is a subject considered difficult by many students therfore the technologies in teaching can help to break down these barriers of learning, being the use in education more and more common. In particular, traditional methodology does not seem to be the best option for the teaching of geometry, and a reformulation of the educational process is necessary for the development of students' deductible critical thinking. Technology is an added tool for teaching mathematics, not replacing the other materials currently used. Teachers must be prepared for this process of transformation, with the need for technological updating and pedagogical changes. Thus, this work presents the use of GeoGebra, software for the teaching of metric relations in the rectangle triangle. It was observed that different strategies help in student learning, facilitating the understanding of the object of study and making the learning process more pleasant.

The study analyses the psychometric properties of the Reasons for Living Inventory for Young Adults (RFL-YA) in a group of 368 university students from Lima, Peru, from both sexes and whose ages fluctuate between 16 and 30 years of age. The instruments used were the RFL-YA (Gutiérrez et al., 2002), Antonovsky’s Sense of Coherence Scale (SOC) (1993) and Hert’s Hope Scale (Arnau, Martínez, Niño de Guzmán, Herth & Yoshiyuki, 2010) in order to determine the convergent validity of the RFL-YA. Results show elevated reliability indexes. A 0.93 coefficient for the whole test and a 0.83 and 0.92 for each of the areas of the test. The factorial structure is adequate, and all 5 factors were reproduced with a 63.74% of explained variance. The correlation between the Sense of Coherence Scale and the Hope Scale resulted positive, high and significant, thus confirming the validity and reliability of the inventory for similar populations. / Se analizan las propiedades psicométricas del Inventario Razones para Vivir, versión para jóvenes adultos (RFL-YA) en 368 estudiantes universitarios de Lima, Perú, de ambos sexos, cuyas edades oscilan entre los 16 y 30 años. Se aplicó el RFL-YA de Gutiérrez et al. (2002), además de la Escala de Sentido de Coherencia (SOC) de Antonovsky (1993) y la Escala de Esperanza de Herth (Arnau, Martínez, Niño de Guzmán, Herth & Yoshiyuki, 2010) para determinar la validez convergente de la escala. Los resultados mostraron elevados índices de confiabilidad. Un coeficiente de 0.93 para la prueba total y coeficientes entre 0.83 y 0.92 para cada una de las áreas de la prueba. La estructura factorial resultó adecuada, se reprodujeron los 5 factores con un 63.74% de varianza explicada. La correlación con las escalas de Sentido de Coherencia y Esperanza resultaron positivas, altas y significativas, con lo que se confirma la validez y confiabilidad del inventario para poblaciones similares a las del presente estudio.

The paper puts forward the thesis that non-human animals are able to operate withreasons. It argues that the flexible individual conduct is evidence of instrumentalrationality and that the context of a practical problem –like tool use by chimpanzees–points toward the existence of deliberative thought. Reasons can be seen as mental representations and deliberation as a way to operate with series ofrepresentations. Finally, it is suggested that a communicative infrastructure –suchas the one elucidated by Tomasello– makes it possible to communicate reasonswithout language. / La tesis general del trabajo es que los animales no lingüísticos pueden operar en base a razones. Se sostiene ante todo que la conducta individual flexible de algunos animales ofrece evidencia de racionalidad instrumental. Se argumenta luego que en el marco de los problemas prácticos –como el de la fabricación y uso de herramientas por parte de algunos primates– pueden advertirse procesos de deliberación sin lenguaje. Las razones se interpretan como representacionesmentales y la deliberación como un modo de operar sobre series de representaciones asociadas. Se sostiene, finalmente, que la existencia de una infraestructura comunicativa no lingüística –como la que propone Tomasello– permite ya comunicar razones.

This work is a study examining the causes of fire fighting in software projects. Fire fighting is the practice of reactive management, i.e. focus being put at solving the problem of the moment. The study in the thesis is performed in two parts, one part is a literature study examining what academia considers as the reasons of fire fighting and how to minimise the problem. The other part of the thesis is an interview series performed in the industry with the purpose of finding what they consider the causes of the fire fighting phenomena. What is indicated by the interview series, as being the main causes of the problems are problems that are related to requirements, and problems caused by persons with key knowledge leaving the project. / Detta arbete undersöker orsakerna bakom "fire fighting" i mjukvaru projekt. "Fire fighting", eller brandsläckning, är utövandet av reaktivt management, dvs. att gruppen lägger fokus på att lösa de problem som för tillfället finns i projektet. Arbete är uppbyggt i två delar, den ena delen är en literaturstudie och den andra en studie av vad industrin anser orsaka "fire fighting" beteendet.

Title: Comparison of legal regulation of notice of termination in the Czech Republic and Poland The aim of this master thesis is the comparison of legal regulation of notice of termination of employment relationship in the Czech Republic and Poland. This paper provides an overview of the legislation of notice of termination in these two states and in the end contains the comparison and evaluation of legal regulations concerned. The work consists of eight chapters, introduction and conclusion. The first chapter outlines the international and European legislation related to labour law with emphasis on termination of employment. The chapter contains a number of international conventions adopted in particular within the ILO as well as European legislation which deals with this issue. The second chapter contains treatise on termination of employment relationship in general, where the basic sources of national labour law in each country and a brief description of all forms of termination of employment relationship are stated. This chapter also contains a brief description of the relationship between civil and labour law and its development. The third chapter discusses the substantive aspects of notice of termination. It starts with general commentary on the concept of notice of termination, continues by...

The question of what leads clients to onset of the WHITE LIGHT I therapeutic community was the main reason for this research. It may seem that the main motive is the drug addiction of clients, but I rather wonder what the last drop is, that they come to make a decision to do something about themselves. In my experience, it is the consequences of drug use rather than addiction itself. I wanted to examine those reasons. The aim of the research is to find out and explain the reasons for clients entering the Therapeutic community WHITE LIGHT I. The thesis is based on qualitative research. The methods used to obtain data are clients' biographies, questions on admission, records of the therapeutic groups and semistructured interview. I conducted the research on eight WHITE LIGHT I community clients who agreed to participate in the research. For data processing, I used the thematic analysis as a method, which is the most appropriate for a given need. The research revealed eight reasons for getting treatment. It is a loss of housing, a desire for a normal life without drugs, loss of employment, problems with the law, family pressure, health problems, client in the position of victim (crime, violence, etc.) and loss of life expectancy. Findings from my research corresponded to the reasons found by other...
