Zhodnocení přírodní hodnoty a ekosystémových služeb přírodě blízkých biotopů v intenzivně využívané zemědělské krajině / Evaluation of the natural value and ecosystem services of natural biotops in the intensively managed agricultural landscapeHAVEL, Jaroslav January 2015 (has links)
My thesis is focused on valuation methods intensively used agricultural landscapes according to the importance of near-natural habitats in terms of their natural values and ecosystem services. This is done at four sites using pitfall traps, where there was a catch beetles (Carabidae). To evaluate the data I used indicators such as the Shannon index serenity. Procedures for calculating the ecological value of the area and the ecosystem services provided I processed according to the proposed method Seják et al., (2010). Rating I performed by BVM (,, habitat valuation methods "). Replacement cost method I used for the calculation of ecosystem services.

Approches bioinformatiques pour l'exploitation des données génomiques / Bioinformatics methods for genomic data exploitationTaing, Lieng 27 September 2012 (has links)
Les technologies actuelles permettent d'explorer le génome entier pour identifier des variants génétiques associés à des phénotypes particuliers, notamment de maladies. C’est le rôle de la bioinformatique de répondre à cette problématique. Dans le cadre de cette thèse, un nouvel outil logiciel a été développé qui permet de mesurer avec une bonne précision le nombre de marqueurs génétiques effectivement indépendants correspondant à un ensemble de marqueurs génotypés dans une population donnée. Cet algorithme repose sur la mesure de l’entropie de Shannon contenue au sein de ces marqueurs, ainsi que des niveaux d’information mutuelle calculés sur les paires de SNPs choisis au sein d’une fenêtre de SNPs consécutifs, dont la taille est un paramètre du programme. Il a été montré que ce nombre de marqueurs indépendants devient constant dès que la population est homogène avec une taille suffisante (N > 60 individus) et que l'on utilise une fenêtre assez grande (taille > 100 SNPs). Ce calcul peut avoir de nombreuses applications pour l'exploitation des données.Une analyse génome-entier a été réalisée sur le photo-vieillissement. Elle a porté sur 502 femmes caucasiennes pour lesquelles un grade de photo-vieillissement a été évalué selon une technologie bien établie. Les femmes ont été génotypées sur des puces Illumina OmniOne (1M SNPs), et deux gènes ont été identifiés (STXBP5L et FBX040) associés à un SNP passant le seuil de Bonferroni, dont l'implication dans le photo-vieillissement était jusqu'alors inconnue. De plus, cette association a aussi été retrouvé dans deux autres phénotypes suggérant un mécanisme moléculaire commun possible entre le relâchement cutané et les rides. On n'observe pas de réplication au niveau du critère lentigines, la troisième composante étudiée du photo-vieillissement.Ces travaux sont en cours de publication dans des revues scientifiques internationales à comité de lecture. / New technologies allow the exploration of the whole genome to identify genetic variants associated with various phenotypes, in particular diseases. Bioinformatics aims at helping to answer these questions. In the context of my PhD thesis, I have first developed a new software allowing to measure with a good precision the number of really independent genetic markers present in a set of markers genotyped in a given population. This algorithm relies on the Shannon's entropy contained within these markers and on the levels of mutual information computed from the pairs of SNPs chosen in a given window of consecutive SNPs, the window size is a parameter of the program. I have shown that the number of really independent markers become stable as soon as the population is homogeneous and large enough (N > 60) and as soon as the window size is large enough (size > 100 SNPs). This computation may have several applications, in particular the diminution of the Bonferroni threshold by a factor that may reach sometimes 4, the latter having little impact in practice.I have also completed a genome-wide association study on photo-ageing. This study was performed on 502 Caucasian women characterized by their grade of photo-ageing, as measured by a well-established technology. In this study, the women were genotyped with OmniOne Illumina chips (1M SNPs), and I have identified two genes (STXBP5L et FBX040) associated with a SNP that passes the Bonferroni threshold, whose implication in photo-ageing was not suspected until now. Interestingly, this association has been highlighted with two other phenotypes which suggest a possible common molecular mechanism between sagging and wrinkling. There was no replication for the lentigin criteria, the third component studied of photo ageing.These studies are on the process to be published in international peer-reviewed scientific journals.

The use of information concepts in the dialogue between science and theologyMarais, Mario Alphonso 11 1900 (has links)
We are living in the information age and this has had an effect on both science and theology. Our understanding of the fundamental role of information has increased significantly. One can even say that information has become an overarching metaphor in the world of science. This dissertation gives an overview of the impact of the information-based scientific world-view on the dialogue between science and theology. The study investigates the metaphorical use of information concepts to secure a better understanding of God's action in the world and the role that information plays in the processes of life. The focus is on the role of biological information, and its relation to divine action is investigated. The scientific importance of information and the possible impact of information concepts on the science and theology dialogue of the future are discussed. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / M. Th.(Systematic Theology)

Board Gender Diversity and Firm Financial Performance : A Study of 100 Companies Listed on Nasdaq Stockholm / Jämställdhet i bolagsstyrelser och företags finansiella resultat : En studie av 100 företag noterade på Nasdaq StockholmWallgren, Frida-Maria, Andersson, Philip January 2018 (has links)
Background: This thesis was written in context of the debate concerning gender equality and female representation on company boards. Gender quota legislation have been implemented by various countries on a national level, and a similar regulation was proposed by the European Commission. Legislation regarding board gender diversity have given rise to the discussion on the actual effects of female director’s on board effectiveness and firm financial performance. Purpose: The aim of the study is to evaluate the relationship between gender diversity on boards and firm financial results. A sample of 100 Swedish companies listed on Nasdaq Stockholm for the time period 2013-2016 is analysed. Method: The study had a quantitative approach and used a panel data methodology. The data analysis was conducted using Ordinary Least Square Regression. Board gender diversity was measured by four variables including the diversity measurements Blau and Shannon indices, and Tobin’s Q was deployed as the market-based measurement of financial performance. Conclusion: The results of the data analysis indicate that the presence of one or more women has a positive effect on financial performance, which contradicts previous findings. Also, it is found that higher gender diversity on boards influenced firm performance positively, which conformed to the majority of the previous findings.

Previous issue date: 2009-03-23 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / Diversity as a concept was first introduced by Williams in Fisher et al. (1943). Later, Good (1953, 1982) proposed a generalized index that included as special cases both Shannon’s and Simpson’s indices. Baczkowski et al. (1997, 1998) generalized the proposed generalization deriving the first four moments and then obtaining a distribution prior to the general index for Good (BACZKOWSKI et al., 2000). Therefore, is proposed a new generalization that, in addition to the indices the Shannon and Simpson as special cases, includes more general indices such as the unfamiliar (PATIL & TAILIIE, 1982). The moments of h(a,b,d) presented here extend the results presented in Baczkowski et al. and Bowman et al. for a class of diversity indices of more general and it is concluded then that while the distribution of index Shannon can be approximated by a Gaussian distribution, if any difference between abundance of species, to more general values of (a,b,d), it is suggested a distribution of type I as the most appropriated. The results are also consistent with those presented for real populations, as in Heip & Engels (1974), especially when it examines the index of Shannon. / A diversidade como um conceito foi inicialmente introduzida por Williams em Fisher et al. (1943). Mais tarde, Good (1953, 1982) propôs um índice generalizado que incluía como casos especiais os índices de Shannon e o de Simpson. Baczkowski et al. (1997, 1998) propuseram generalizar essa generalização derivando os quatro primeiros momentos e obtendo assim uma distribuição para o índice antes generalizado por Good (BACZKOWSKI et al., 2000). Sendo assim, apresenta-se uma nova generalização que, além de ter os índices de Shannon e Simpson como casos especiais, engloba índices mais gerais como o não familiar (PATIL & TAILIIE, 1982). Os momentos de h(a,b,d) aqui apresentados estendem os resultados apresentados em Baczkowski et al. e Bowman et al. para uma classe de índices de diversidade mais geral, concluindo-se então que enquanto a distribuição do índice de Shannon pode ser aproximado por uma distribuição Gaussiana, caso haja diferença entre abundância de espécies, para valores mais gerais de (a,b,d), sugere-se uma distribuição do tipo I como sendo a mais apropriada. Os resultados obtidos são tão consistentes quanto os de trabalhos que lidam com populações reais como em Heip & Engels (1974), principalmente quando examina-se o índice de Shannon.

Lättillgängligt eller löjligt? : ‐En studie av attityder till ungdomsmottagningarnas webbtexter.Säterberg, Elsa January 2013 (has links)
Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka om och hur väl texterna på ungdomsmottagningarnas gemensamma webbplats UMO når fram till gymnasister samt hur texterna värderas av dem. 110 gymnasielever från tre olika teoretiska gymnasieprograms andraårsklasser besvarade en enkät baserad på två av webbplatsens texter. Resultatet av enkäten analyserades med Shannon & Weavers matematiska kommunikationsmodell (1949) och Fiskes (2009) synsätt på lyckad respektive misslyckad kommunikation. Studien visar att eleverna överlag upplever texterna som alltför lättlästa. Det framkommer också att eleverna i regel anser sig för gamla för texternas utformning och innehåll. Vissa tydliga skillnader i textuppfattning och värderingar finns mellan eleverna på de olika gymnasieprogrammen. Sammantaget kan UMO sägas lyckas med att få alla läsare att förstå innehållet men misslyckas med att lägga sig på rätt nivå för just denna åldersgrupp.
