The web 2.0 era has ushered an unprecedented amount of interactivity on the Internet resulting in a flood of user-generated content. This content is often unstructured and comes in the form of blog posts and comment discussions. Users can no longer keep up with the amount of content available, which causes developers to start relying on natural language techniques to help mitigate the problem. Although many natural language processing techniques have been employed for years, automatic text summarization, in particular, has recently gained traction. This research proposes a graph-based, extractive text summarization system called SPORK (Summarization Pipeline for Online Repositories of Knowledge). The goal of SPORK is to be able to identify important key topics presented in multi-document texts, such as online comment threads. While most other automatic summarization systems simply focus on finding the top sentences represented in the text, SPORK separates the text into clusters, and identifies different topics and opinions presented in the text. SPORK has shown results of managing to identify 72\% of key topics present in any discussion and up to 80\% of key topics in a well-structured discussion.

Det familjeägda   friluftsvarumärket Trangia är inne i en förändringsfas. Deras nya målsättning   är att fördubbla företagets omsättning på 5 år med bibehållen lönsamhet för   att säkra företagets fortsatta tillväxt. Målstyr-ningen riktas mot att växa   ytterligare på befintliga marknader, utveckla fler produkter och även bredda   sortimentet med nya produkter. Målet med examensarbetet har   varit att ta fram ett produktkoncept på ett friluftsbestick åt Trangia. Ett   koncept som om det tas vidare ska kunna bidra till ett hållbart växande för   företaget gällande sociala, ekologiska och ekonomiska aspekter. Detta har   uppfyllts genom framtagandet av produktkoncept Tora 1.0. Tora 1.0 är ett   friluftsbestick i form av en spork där gaffel och sked i vardera änden av   besticket är fullstora ätredskap. Tora 1.0 har utformats till att vara ett   ergonomiskt och hållfast friluftsbe-stick. Produktens formspråk präglas av   dess funktion och är i en stilren, enkel och tidlös design. Detta har   uppnåtts genom omfattande formana-lyser av besticket. Handgrepp och   kontaktpunkter mellan hand och be-stick har studerats. Genom bockning och val   av måttsättning har förstyv-ande geometrier arbetats fram. Hållfastheten och   ergonomin har testats och omarbetats genom många prototyptester.   Idégenereringen har föru-tom genom kreativa och systematiska metoder främst   framskridit genom dessa fysiska prototyper i form av lermodeller,   3D-utskrifter och CAD-modeller. Valen som har gjorts i projektet har tagits   fram genom en be-slutsmatris och diskussion med Trangia om måluppfyllelsegrad   av upp-rättad kravspecifikation. Projektet har värnat om   Trangias värden ”trygghet”, ”långsiktighet” och ”kvalitet”. Det har gjorts   genom att ställa höga krav på att tillverkningen ska kunna ske i Trangias   produktion i Trångsviken, Jämtland. Innan Tora 1.0 kan sättas i produktion behöver   användartester göras, konstruktionen säkerhetsställas och en omfattande   kostnadskalkyl beräknas. / <p>Betyg: 180616</p>

The diploma thesis Bon Repos and baroque monuments in surroundings of Lysá nad Labem deals with the area of Bon Repos and baroque monuments in surroundings of Lysá nad Labem that arose thanks to the benefactor Count Francis Anthony Spork. Unfortunately, most of the monuments no longer exist. The first part of this diploma thesis deals with the history of the town Lysá nad Labem and also with its monuments including the life of Count Spork. In the second part of the thesis we can find the detailed description of the ecclesiastical and the secular monuments in surroundings of Lysá nad Labem, which were built at the times during the Count Spork's life. The monuments' description was done according to the engravings and sources from the period of the first half of the 18th century. The third part of this thesis describes the area of Bon Repos which was built by Count Spork. In this part we can also find the history of the site and the description of its baroque form. Unfortunately, the site of Bon Repos was rebuilt by archbishop Prichovsky in the second half of the 18th century. It is for this reason that the description of the baroque site was done thanks to the engravings and sources from that period. Afterwards, we can find the description of the existing baroque and late baroque buildings that were...

The present M. A. theses COUNT FRANZ ANTON SPORCK - SUPPORTER OF JANSENISM THOUGHTS AND RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE deals with Baroque period, the so called "Bohemian Baroque" in the 17th - 18th century, and ends at the beginning of the Enlightenment. On the main representatives of the Czech lands was Count Franz Anton Sporck. The first chapter looks at the emergence of the movement of Jansenism, founded by Cornelius Otto Jansen, and mentions the root movement within the environment of the University of Leuven. Cornelius Otto Jansen influenced French Jansenism which had been led by Jean-Antoine Duvergier de Hauranne (First Abbe de Saint-Cyran) at the monastery of Port-Royal des Champs, and a major French personality of the movement. The other major figures were Martin de Barcos, Antoine Arnauld, Blaise Pascal and Pasquier Quesnel, who were influenced by the Jansenism environment in the Czech lands. At the same time, the first chapter focuses on the Jesuit Order, which acts as a counterpoint to the same idea of Catholic reform during the time of post Trident. In the second chapter, the personalities of Czech Jansenism - Valerian Magni and Jerome Hirnhaim are introduced. This chapter deals with the central figure of the thesis, Count Franz Anton Sporck, who became the most significant personality of the Czech Catolic...
