The diploma thesis “Risk analysis of public construction project” is focused on the risk of project financed by the public sector. The thesis consists of theoretical and practical parts. The theoretical part describes the structural policy of the European Union and the funds of which are supported by public projects. Another chapter is dedicated to the classification, measurement and management of risk. The practical part describes the financing of an infra-structure project and its potential risk in terms of their significance and the proposal to elimi-nate them. The risk analysis may serve workers of public administration community as a basis for the management of risk arising from the construction of the water supply and drainage.

More than two-and-a-half million people currently use the Tor network to communicate anonymously via the Internet and gain access to online media that are not accessible using standard Internet technology. This sphere of communication can be described as the hidden web. In part because this phenomenon is very recent, the subject has scarcely been studied in the social sciences. It is therefore the purpose of this paper to answer four fundamental questions: What is the hidden web? What characterises the communication sphere of the hidden web in contrast to the “normal Internet”? Which reasons can be identified to explain the development of the hidden web as a new communication sphere? And, finally, what is the social significance of the hidden web?:1 Introduction 2 Linguistic differentiation of the hidden web and an overview of the literature 3 Characteristics of communication via the hidden web 4 The creation of the hidden web as a response to the development of the visible web 5 The social significance of the hidden web 6 Summary and prospects / Über zweieinhalb Millionen Menschen nutzen gegenwärtig das Tor Network, um anonym über das Internet zu kommunizieren und Zugriff auf Online-Medien zu erhalten, die mit gewöhnlicher Internettechnik nicht nutzbar ist. Diese Kommunikationssphäre kann als Hidden Web bezeichnet werden. Unter anderem weil es sich um ein sehr junges Phänomen handelt, liegen bisher nahezu keine sozialwissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse zu dem Thema vor. Dementsprechend werden hier vier grundlegende Fragen beantwortet: Was ist das Hidden Web? Welche Eigenschaften weist die Kommunikationssphäre des Hidden Web im Vergleich zum „normalen“ Internet auf? Welche Gründen lassen sich identifizieren, die die Entstehung des Hidden Web als neue Kommunikationssphäre erklären können? Und welche gesellschaftliche Bedeutung kommt dem Hidden Web schließlich zu?:1 Introduction 2 Linguistic differentiation of the hidden web and an overview of the literature 3 Characteristics of communication via the hidden web 4 The creation of the hidden web as a response to the development of the visible web 5 The social significance of the hidden web 6 Summary and prospects

The diploma thesis contains a brief overview of the historical development of the Holy Spirit Cathedral in Hradec Králové. In a rough outline discusses the historical, religious and cultural wealth created by several generations of our ancestors over the course of seven centuries. The diploma thesis contains a proposal of an educational program in the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit. The program is designed primarily for secondary school students. Considering the uniqueness of the place and its rich potential is there mentioned not only the uniqueness the history and architecture, but also the work of some important personalities of local social and religious life. An integral part of the educational program is the brief history of the church, its development and hierarchy. The contribution of Christianity to the education of the nation is not forgotten either. In this context the program leads to a closer knowledge of the cathedral and the life around it, and helps students overcome prejudices against Christianity ant the Church. It reveals the cathedral as a cultural and social connection. The main aim of this thesis is to enhance the importance of the Holy Spirit Cathedral in Hradec Králové as a historical, religious and cultural heritage of the nation. The educational program is designed to...

DNA microarrays are a relatively new technology for assessing the expression levels of thousands of genes simultaneously. Researchers hope to find genes that are differentially expressed by hybridizing cDNA from known treatment sources with various genes spotted on the microarrays. The large number of tests involved in analyzing microarrays has raised new questions in multiple testing. Several approaches for identifying differentially expressed genes have been proposed. This paper considers two: (1) a mixed models approach, and (2) the Signiffcance Analysis of Microarrays.

This study attempts to analyze the impact of an online educational resource on academic performances among newly arrived immigrant students in Sweden between the grade six to nine in the Swedish school system. The study focuses on the web based educational resource called Studi.se made by Komplementskolan AB.The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between academic performance and using Studi.se. Another purpose was to see what other factors that can impact academic performances.The study made use of the data mining process, Cross Industry Standard for Data Mining (CRISP-DM), to understand and prepare the data and then create a regression model that is evaluated. The regression model tries predict the dependent variable of grade based on the independent variables of Studi.se activity, gender and years in Swedish schools. The used data set includes the grades in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and religion of newly arrived students in Sweden from six municipalities that have access to Studi.se. The data used also includes metrics of the student’s activity on Studi.se.The results show negative correlation between grade and gender of the student across all subjects. In this report, the negative correlation means that female students perform better than male students. Furthermore, there was a positive correlation between number of years a student has been in the same school and their academic grade. The study could not conclude a statistically significant relationship between the activity on Studi.se and the students’ academic grade.Additional explanatory independent variables are needed to make a predictive model as well as investigating alternative regression models other than multiple linear regression. In the sample, a majority of the students have little or no activity on Studi.se despite having free access to the resource through the municipality. / Denna studie analyserar inverkan som digitala läromedel har på skolbetyg bland nyanlända elever i Sverige mellan årskurs sex och nio i det svenska skolsystemet. Studien fokuserar på den webbaserade pedagogisk resursen Studi.se, gjord av Komplementskolan AB.Målet med studien var att undersöka relationen mellan skolresultat och användandet av Studi.se. Ett annat syfte var att undersöka vad för andra faktorer som kan påverka skolresultat.Studien använder sig av datautvinningsprocessen, Cross Industry Standard for Datamining (CRISP-DM), för att förstå, förbereda och analysera datan i form av en regressionsmodell som sedan evalueras. Datasamlingen som används innehåller bland annat skolbetyg i ämnena matematik, fysik, kemi, biologi och religion från sex kommuner som har tillgång till Studi.se. Aktivitet hos eleverna från dessa kommuner på Studi.se hemsidan användes också för studien.Resultaten visar en negativ korrelation mellan betyg och kön hos eleverna i alla ämnena. Den negativa korrelationen betyder i denna rapport att tjejer får bättre betyg i genomsnitt än killar hos urvalet av nyanlända från de sex kommunerna. Dessutom fanns det en positiv korrelation mellan antal år en elev varit i skolan alternativt i svenska skolsystemet och deras betyg. Studien kunde inte säkerställa ett statistisk signifikant resultat mellan aktivitet på Studi.se och elevernas skolresultat.Ett flertal förklarande oberoende variabler behövs för att kunna skapa en prognastisk modell för skolresultat samt bör en undersökning på alternativa regressions modeller förutom linjär multipel regression göras. I studiens urval av nyanlända elever från kommunerna, har majoriteten inte använt eller knappt använt Studi.se även om dessa kommuner haft tillgång till denna resurs.

Актуальность в условиях современного стремительного развития глобализации языковые и культурные обмены становятся все более частыми. В этом контексте общественные вывески и рекламные щиты, являясь важными средствами передачи культурной информации, играют жизненно важную роль в продвижении международного туризма и культурного взаимопонимания. Эффективный языковой перевод, особенно в туристических центрах, может не только помочь туристам лучше понять местную культуру, но и улучшить общее впечатление туристов. Поэтому изучение перевода цифровых терминов на общедоступные вывески имеет огромное значение для улучшения межкультурных обменов. Целью исследования является углубленное изучение использования цифр и методов их перевода в общественных вывесках Китая и России. Анализируя различия в семантике и употреблении числительных в двух языках, данное исследование пытается выявить сложность и трудности перевода числительных в условиях межкультурной коммуникации. / Relevance in the context of the modern rapid development of globalization, language and cultural exchanges are becoming more frequent. In this context, public signage and billboards, as important means of transmitting cultural information, play a vital role in promoting international tourism and cultural understanding. Effective language translation, especially in tourist centers, can not only help tourists better understand the local culture, but also improve the overall impression of tourists. Therefore the study of the translation of digital terms into publicly available signage is of great importance for improving intercultural exchanges. The purpose of the study is to in-depth study the use of numbers and methods of their translation in public signs in China and Russia. By analyzing the differences in the semantics and use of numerals in two languages, this study attempts to identify the complexity and difficulties of translating numerals in intercultural communication.

The study examined and explored the psychological significance of shaving hair as a ritual during mourning within the Ndebele culture in Mamelodi, Pretoria. The focus was on rituals performed or conducted during the mourning process that will be useful in an attempt to reach a state of healing and restoration. The study explored what meaning the participants attach to the rituals. Through this exploration; a deeper understanding of the value of rituals was developed. The qualitative research method, particularly Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis was used. Snowball sampling was used to identify participants who had lost their loved and who had gone through mourning for more than six months. In total, ten participants were interviewed for this study. Semi-structured interviews were conducted in the mother tongue of the participants in order to allow them to express themselves in the most ultimate way they know and understand. Thematic content analysis was used to extract themes that were dominant across participants. The study was useful as it could be incorporated into the study of psychology specifically from the African epistemological standpoint. Even though the rituals might be practiced amongst the black African community, there is not much literature that focuses mainly on the specific rituals and their significance. This study could also be useful in terms of exposing this knowledge to persons who might not be exposed to this specific ritual of shaving hair due to cultural differences. / Psychology / M.A. (Clinical Psychology)

Unter dem Begriff des Poststrukturalismus wird eine disparate, auf den Axiomen des Strukturalismus aufbauende und diese zugleich überwindende Strömung verstanden, die sowohl innerhalb der Sozial- und Kulturwissenschaften als auch in interdisziplinär organisierten Feldern wie den Gender Studies von großer Tragweite ist. Geteilt wird die Auffassung, dass kulturelle Phänomene allgemein sprachlich strukturiert sind. Seine Tendenz, unter die Oberfläche vermeintlich stabiler, monolithischer Strukturen zu schauen, qualifiziert den Poststrukturalismus für eine Anwendung auf genderwissenschaftliche Kategorien wie Weiblichkeit und Männlichkeit, deren Bedeutung nicht aus sich selbst erwächst, sondern die als Signifikate innerhalb eines (phallokratischen) Systems zu denken sind.

From a point of view of contemporary society which requires healthy lifestyle and healthy environment, especially in big cities there is a need for development of recreation and public green areas. First, i tis a form of preparation in planning, i.e. it is important to elaborate objectives for their subsequent promotion and enforcement and afterwards it is necessary to provide funds for their implementation. This doctoral thesis analyzes the role of everyday recreation as a part of our lives and recreation as a necessary component of our healthy lifestyle. Green areas represent the most suitable environment for this type of recreation. This thesis describes the status, importance and types of recreation and green areas in cities in the Czech Republic. It also analyzes the relationship between recreation and urban green areas in terms of uses of urban green space for daily recreation. Specifically, the work focused on conceptual and compositional principles arrangement of urban green areas. Those represent the most suitable and important potential resources for development of vegetation and everyday recreation for all people living in our cities. The intention of this thesis is to analyze the current status of recreational function of public green areas in urban developments and especially in neighbourhoods. Following that to suggest solutions for improvement and implementation of green areas as measures for design solutions within the framework of land-use planning. This thesis is supposed to act as compendium to spread knowledge about possible options how to create green areas with recreational and housing function and thus acquire complex build-up area.
