The process of nation-building in nineteenth century Canada involved the production of national symbols which could transcend sub-national loyalties, such as class, gender, ethnic, and religious identities, and unite the residents of the Canadian nation. While the symbols were many and varied, in this study I analyse the manner in which the Canadian state and civil society used royal ceremonies and representations to define and unify the Canadian nation between 1860 and 1911. The study focusses on the Canadian observances of Queen Victoria's Golden and Diamond Jubilees, her Memorial Services, the Coronation and Memorial Services of Edward VII, the Coronation of George V, and the royal visits of the Prince of Wales (Edward VII) in 1860 and the Duke of Cornwall and York (George V) in 1901. Regarding society and social relations as neither static nor fixed, but multiple and contradictory, I use the concept of cultural hegemony combined with elements from the "new" cultural history to examine the complex nature of power, identity, and royal representation in the nation-building process. Specifically, I argue that male members of the middle class articulated representations of themselves, women, the upper and lower classes, and the monarchy in order to legitimise their social authority and consolidate themselves as a cultural hegemony in the new national society. In turn, women and the upper and working classes resisted these representations with images of their own designed to empower themselves. The traditional elite claimed public and royal affirmation of their leadership; women and the working class sought an equal place in the nation. Complicating matters, however, were ethnic and religious identities which impinged upon class and gender loyalties and further altered the nature of royal representation and the formation and negotiation of a cultural hegemony. French Canadians, Irish Catholics, Jews, African and Asian Canadians, and the Peoples of the First Nations added their voices—and imagery—to the process of nation-building as each articulated representations of the monarchy in order to counter the dominant interpretations emanating from Protestants and whites. By doing so, they sought to either negotiate themselves a place within a wider hegemony or demand that their rights—and their place within the Canadian nation—be respected. Royal ceremonies and representations, then, were not trivial events in Canadian history. They comprised a fundamental feature in national imagery and played a vital part in the building of the Canadian nation. / Arts, Faculty of / History, Department of / Graduate

Although a handful of experiments have utilized indirect feedback in attempts to reduce speeding on roadways, fewer experiments have utilized direct feedback as a means to reduce incidences of speeding. The current study evaluated the effects of direct and individualized feedback provided by a large electronic feedback sign that displayed the speed of oncoming vehicles as they approached the sign along the roadways of a college campus. The effects of the sign were evaluated using a non-simultaneous multiple baseline experimental design employing two control conditions and intervention phase. Each condition was implemented at three sites on the college campus. The results showed that intervention produced significant decreases in both measures of vehicle speeds at each site, relative to measures collected during both control conditions.

Essa pesquisa, a interface entre a imagem corporal e a representação simbólica de Carl Gustav Jung, visa contribuir para uma análise dos dois estudos. Para abordar esse assunto, essa tese se divide em três capítulos. O primeiro capítulo enfatiza os estudos da imagem corporal e suas respectivas características, a fim de esclarecer a significância do conteúdo para o entendimento da relação entre imagem corporal com a representação simbólica. Inicialmente abordaremos um breve histórico com seus múltiplos componentes, conceitos, e implicações sobre a imagem corporal. Serão utilizados os principais autores que se dedicaram e que se dedicam ao estudo desse tema. O segundo capítulo está direcionado à representação simbólica e à definição de arquétipo, destacando os escritos de Jung para explicar o tema proposto, assim como outros autores que incluem em suas pesquisas as representações simbólicas junguianas. O terceiro capítulo enfatiza os estudos da imagem mental e da concepção do corpo, do ponto de vista de alguns autores, como: Françoise Dolto, Michel Foucault, e do neurologista Antonio Damásio. Este assunto permite a realização de um paralelo das abordagens de Jung com os autores que estudaram, e estudam, a imagem corporal. Esse último capítulo também trata do histórico do estudo da imagem mental e da concepção do corpo nos escritos de Jung, como da ¿representação mental do corpo¿ (imagem corporal). Pois são esses dois estudos (concepção da imagem mental e do corpo) que orientam as interfaces entre a imagem corporal e a representação do corpo / Abstract: This research studies body image (Mental Body Representation) and offers an analysis from the perspective of Carl Gustav Jung¿s symbolic representation. This is a key aspect of Jungian theory and refers to the conception of image, as well as symbol and archetypes, as studied and described by the Swiss psychiatrist. The interface between body image and symbolic representation, as understood by Carl Gustav Jung, aims to contribute to the analysis of both studies. To deal with this subject this research is divided in three chapters. The first chapter emphasizes body image studies and their respective perspectives. It seeks to explain the meaning of contents in order to understand the relation between body image and symbolic representation. A brief historical is presented, with its multiple components, conceits and implications regarding the theme. The second chapter addresses symbolic representation and archetypal definitions pointed out in the writings of Jung and other authors who offer research in Jungian symbolic representation. The third chapter emphasizes mental body studies and body conception according to various authors, including: Françoise Dolto, Michel Foucault and the Neurologist Antonio Damasio. This dialogue establishes a parallel between Jung¿s approaches and other related authors. The final chapter deals with the study of mental image and the concept of body in C. G. Jung, paying particular attention to the concept of body image representation (body image). In summary, it is proposed that these are the studies that guide the interfaces between body image and body representation (mental and body image conceptions) / Doutorado / Atividade Fisica, Adaptação e Saude / Mestre em Educação Física

Lately, the attractiveness of cities has contributed to a rise in vehicle movements to and from cities. The growth of freight movements in cities predictably will be one of the critical issues of the near future. Congestion caused by the increased movements of freight impacts the flow of private and transit vehicles. Thus, it is crucial to reduce the congestion on multimodal corridors. Components of the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) such as Freight Signal Priority (FSP) and Transit Signal Priority (TSP) that promote the freight and transit vehicles may not only help solve these conditions but may assist with the sustainability of the system. The primary objective of this research is to develop guidelines for traffic agencies to implement signal priorities based on identified decision factors on certain corridors. Besides, this study evaluates the efficiency of FSP and TSP in improving the performance of freight and transit systems. Finally, inclusive guidelines are drawn up based on the literature and the conducted simulation. The developed guidelines apply to corridors where freight delay plays a vital role in the assessment of corridor benefits. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.S.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2020. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

This diploma thesis is dealing with an issue of machine vision in the field of traffic signs recognition. The first part is devoted to machine vision in general traffic situations. Together with traffic applications there is paid attention to a possible autonomous vehicle and applications for the traffic signs recognition. The main part of this work is devoted to a description and an implementation of several methods for colour and pattern localisation of traffic signs in the scene and to identification algorithms. Apart from the implementation itself, these algorithms are submitted to several experiments for a valorisation of their success. The thesis also includes a gallery of images with traffic signs including a file with descriptive annotation for an automatic testing of algorithms.

The aim of this thesis is to design a roundabout in front of the main entrance to the Exhibition in Brno on the crossing of streets Veletržní, Křížkovského and the entrance to the trade fair. The thesis take into account the reconstruction of Mendel Square, which is invited to solve a two-way street Veletržní. The entrance to the BVV has made available two-storey underground garage. The project also deals with the relocation of the existing bus stop Křížkovského.

The thesis deals with usual time and frequency of road traffic signs observation by the driver. In the first part is a literature research, there is described the measuring device called eyetracker, that is used to record the eye movement. Furthermore there are kinds of eyetrackers that are currently used. There is also described traffic signs form 1961 until 2009. The second part draws of the video records from driving tests, which were conducted in the towards of this thesis. The results were processed and evaluated data were determinated to find the usual time of observation of traffic signs of drivers and their comparison with the time devoted to driving.
