The people of Sweden have a long history of being engaged in sport organizations. Recently though, a decline of participation in sport organizations has been detected. The Swedish society has evolved immensely lately and with it new marketing techniques, new communication tools and new values have seen the light of day. The thesis of this study is to examine how non-profit sport organizations function in the areas of organizational culture, internal communication, consumer surplus and branding. The theories have been selected to provide background knowledge in the different functioning areas of an organization and to see how they cooperate in order to make marketing efforts more effective. The primary data has been collected with the use of semi structured interviews with representatives from the participating organizations. Additional primary data has been collected in the form of observations of published digital posts from the organizations communicational channels, to complement the data received in the interviews. The result shows that the principles of non-profit sports organizations are outdated and therefore differs from the rest of the society. The prevailing culture is one whom focuses primary on performance. This is reflected in their communication where the digital communication is somewhat neglected whilst the verbal forms of communication are highly developed. The only area where the involvement of members is coherent is in the context of performance.

Naudojamų hidrotechnikos statinių konstrukcijos veikiamos įvairių apkrovų ir neigiamo aplinkos poveikio nudėvimos, susiformuoja pažeidos. Ypač pavojingos pažeidos, mažinančios pagrindinių konstrukcijų laikančiąją galią. Netekus laikomosios galios kyla grėsmė statinio patikimumui ir ilgaamžiškumui. Remiantis atsivėrusių plyšių įtakos hidrotechnikos statinių konstrukcijoms tyrėjų darbais nustatėme, kad mokslinėje literatūroje lig šiol nepakankamai aptarta šachtinių perteklinio vandens pralaidų laikomosios galios metodika. Ji pagrįsta pagrindinių betoninių ir gelžbetoninių konstrukcijų fizikinių ir mechaninių savybių kitimo atsiradus plyšiams vertinimu Darbo tikslas – įvertinti gelžbetoninės šachtinės perteklinio vandens pralaidos (toliau– ŠPVP) sienutėje atsiradusių plyšių įtaką jos laikomąjai galiai. Uždaviniai: 1) Natūriniais tyrimais nustatyti šachtinės perteklinio vandens pralaidos gniuždomojo stiprio faktines reikšmes ir vienas iš pagrindinių pažaidų – plyšių geometrinius parametrus. 2) Preliminariai įvertinti ŠPVP techninę būklę pagal (STR.1.12.03:2006) 3) Analitiniais skaičiavimais apskaičiuoti ŠPVP laikomąją galią. 4) Atlikti galutinį ŠPVP būklės vertinimą. 2007–2008 metais tyrinėtos šachtinės perteklinio vandens pralaidos, įrengtos Kauno rajone naudojamose žemių užtvankose. Atliekant tyrimus nustatytos labiausiai pažeistos ŠPVP vietos, pažeidų tipas, plotas ir gylis bei nustatyta pagrindinė tiriamoji charakteristika – gniuždomojo betono stipris. Skaičiavimais...

Defects are especially dangerous because they decrease the bearing capacity of main constructions. After loosing bearing capacity the danger arises for the reliability and durability of hydraulic structures. With reference to the works of the investigators on the influence of the crack opening upon the constructions of hydraulic structures we have defined that in scientific literature the method of the bearing capacity of surplus water gatewells has not been discussed enough till now. It is substantiated by the evaluation of the alteration of physical-mechanical properties of main concrete and reinforced concrete constructions after crack opening. The aim of the work is to evaluate the influence of the crack opening in the reinforced concrete wall of the surplus water gatewell upon its bearing capacity. Tasks to be solved: 1) to determine (by natural investigations) factual significance and one of the main defects as well as crack geometrical parameters of the compressive strength of the surplus water gatewell; 2) to tentatively evaluate the technical state of the surplus water gatewell according to STR.1.12.03:2006; 3) to calculate (by analytical calculations) the bearing capacity of the surplus water gatewell; 4) to carry out the final evaluation of the condition state of he surplus water gatewell...

The purpose of this travel cost study is to determine how rider behaviors and site characteristics influence repeat visits for equestrian trail riding in Kentucky. Primary data was collected via a survey developed and administered to trail riders in person and online. The average surveyed trail rider tends to be female, about 46 years old, with some higher education, and an annual household income of $65,000. She makes 11 trips to a specified site per year, 8 of which are daytrips, usually in the fall, and traveling 132 miles round trip. From other information gathered, an index of trail characteristics was developed to identify positive attributes of trails. To account for overdispersion of the number of visits per year, a negative binomial distribution in the estimation was used. The primary variables significant to explaining repeat visits to a site include distance in miles, the index of characteristics, and gender. Given consumer surplus estimates of $800 per equestrian it is recommended that established trails maximize desired characteristics. For new trail development it is recommended that trail characteristics are maximized and that they are built closer to the urban areas of the state since most riders are coming from these areas.

O objetivo dessa dissertação é apresentar um exercício empírico, qual seja, transformar a contabilidade nacional oficial em categorias analíticas da economia clássica/marxiana. Esse processo é baseado na metodologia desenvolvida por Shaikh e Tonak (1994). No primeiro capítulo nós apresentamos de forma sucinta os principais aspectos teóricos da distinção entre o trabalho produtivo e o trabalho não-produtivo do ponto de vista do capital. No segundo capítulo apresentamos tanto a análise crítica do sistema de contas nacionais quanto a metodologia para realizar o mapeamento da contabilidade nacional convencional para categorias clássicas/marxianas. No terceiro capítulo aplicamos esse mapeamento nas contas nacionais brasileiras. Assim, baseando-nos nos recentes desenvolvimentos da pesquisa empírica marxista, estamos aptos a calcular a taxa de mais-valia, a composição valor e material do capital e a taxa geral de lucro marxiana para os períodos entre 1990-1994, 1995-1999 e 2000-2004. / The aim of this dissertation is to present an empirical exercise of transforming the official accounts into the classical/marxian analytical framework. Our transformation procedure is based on the methodology developed by Shaikh and Tonak (1994). Initialy we briefly present the mains theoretical aspects of the distinction between productive and unproductive labour. In the second chapter, it is presented both the critical analysis of the system of national accounts and the methodology for mapping conventional national accounts into the classical/marxian categories. In the third chapter we apply this mapping methodology to the Brazilian national accounts. Therefore, based on recent developments in Marxian empirical research, we were able to calculate the rate of surplus value, the value and materialized composition of capital and the general Marxian rate of profit for the 1990-1994, 1995-1999 and 2000-2004 periods.

Orientador: José Tadeu Garcia Tommaselli / Banca: João Osvaldo Rodrigues Nunes / Banca: Hélio Silviera / Resumo: Entre os muitos elementos do meio ambiente, o clima e os solos podem contribuir para boas produções agrícolas ou até impor limites a plantação de determinadas culturas, afetando a economia de todos os países que dependam dessa atividade. O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar uma caracterização edafoclimática e criar uma proposta para a determinação do risco de redução de safra por influência da deficiência hídrica, espacializando os resultados da aplicação do balanço hídrico para a região do Pontal do Paranapanema - SP. Foram utilizados dados de 15 postos pluviométricos e de uma estação meteorológica. Para a confiabilidade dos dados foram utilizadas técnicas de interpolação e de duplas massas. Também foram obtidos dados de temperatura de 1971 a 2006. Para aplicação do balanço hídrico foram delimitados setores com feições semelhantes de precipitação pluviométrica, temperatura, de tipos de solos e relevo. A média de precipitação pluviométrica anual para a área estudada durante a série histórica de 1971 a 2007 foi de 1295 mm. Já com respeito à distribuição espacial das chuvas, as maiores quantidades se concentram na porção leste / sudeste do Pontal, enquanto que as menores quantidades de precipitação se encontram na porção leste. Quanto à temperatura, a média anual para a série histórica de 1971 a 2006 foi de 22,9 °C. As porções mais quentes se encontram na região centro / norte do Pontal e as com menores temperaturas nas extremidades leste e noroeste. A espacialização dos valores de excedentes e deficiências hídricos permitiram o reconhecimento dos setores I e II, que abrangem áreas da região central e leste do Pontal do Paranapanema, como as áreas com os maiores riscos quanto a perdas das safras agrícolas / Abstract: Among many elements in environment, climate and soil can contribute to high yields or even impose limits to some crops, affecting economy of all countries depending on that activity. The aim of this study was to perform a edapho-climatological characterization and propose a way to determine yield depletion risk influenced by water deficit, by spatialization of the results from water balance applied in the Pontal do Paranapanema region, SP, Brazil. It was used data from 15 pluviometric stations and from 1 meteorological station. In order to increase data reliability double masses and interpolations were performed. It was also used temperature data from 1971 to 2006. In order to apply the water balance it was delimited sectors with similar features regarding to precipitation, temperature and soils and reliefs types. The mean annual precipitation during the time interval 1971-2207 was 1295 mm. Regarding to spatial distribution of precipitation, the highest values occurred at the east/southeast portion of the Pontal area, whereas the lowest values occurred in the east portion. The mean annual temperature of the time interval 1971-2006 was 22,9 °C. The warmest portion was the center/north of the Pontal region and the coolest ones was the east and northwest portions. The spatialization of the water surplus and deficits had enabled the identification of sectors I and II, which embraces areas in central and east regions of the Pontal, also being the ones with highest risks related to yield losses / Mestre

A relevância social e científica do tema está em se refletir acerca da necessidade de atenção e cautela no implemento das novas tecnologias destinadas à reprodução. Hoje, o avanço tecnológico está intimamente vinculado aos meios de aquisição de poder e carece de construções valorativas. Isso justifica a necessidade crescente de um maior fortalecimento da proteção jurídica do embrião extracorporal a fim de que o Princípio da Dignidade da Pessoa Humana seja efetivamente concretizado. À luz da Constituição, a pessoa humana não é categorizada como sujeito que contrata, que constitui formalmente uma família e que tem um patrimônio. A proteção constitucional é dirigida à dignidade da pessoa, considerada em todas as suas emanações. O objetivo precípuo deste trabalho está em buscar um enquadramento ético-jurídico para o embrião oriundo das técnicas de reprodução assistida com o intuito de sustentar seu status pessoal. Para persecução deste fim, adota-se como metodologia a análise de conteúdo, tomando-se por marco teórico o conceito de consciência presente na fenomenologia de Husserl e as ideias semelhantes do grupo denominado substancialista que sustenta um conceito onto-axiológico de pessoa. Em um segundo momento, a partir do pressuposto de que o embrião extra corporal é pessoa e, portanto, sujeito de direitos personalíssimos, intenta-se demonstrar a inconstitucionalidade da produção dos embriões excedentários e propor a substituição dessa prática pela técnica vitrificação de ovócitos – técnica promissora para o tratamento de infertilidade da reprodução assistida. A pesquisa proposta alinha-se, assim, à vertente das pesquisas jurídico-compreensivas e jurídico-propositivas. / This paper pursues a better interpretation of the new reproductive technologies by making a counterpoint to the scientistic bias of bills processing in the country which excels in defending the interests of professionals, especially in clinics and laboratories, disregarding the new person generated. The social and scientific relevance of the subject is to reflect on the necessity of attention and caution in the implementation of the new technologies for breeding. Today, technological advancement is closely tied to the means of acquiring power and lacks evaluative constructs. It justifies the growing need for a further strengthening of the legal protection of the extracorporeal embryo so that the Principle of Human Dignity is effectively implemented. In Constitution’s perspective, the human person is not categorized as a subject who hires, who formally constitutes a family and who has a heritage. The constitutional protection is directed to the dignity of the person, considered in all its emanations. The primary objective of this research is to seek an ethical-legal framework for the embryo arising from assisted reproduction techniques in order to sustain the personal status. To attain this end, it will be adopted the content analysis methodology, taking as theoretical framework the consciousness in Husserl phenomenological meaning and the similar ideas of the group called substantialistic which sustain an onto-axiological concept of person. In a second moment, starting from the assumption that the extra-corporeal embryo is a person and, therefore, subject of personal rights; intends to demonstrate the unconstitutionality of the production of surplus embryos and to propose the replace of this practice by the cryopreservation of oocytes by vitrification - a promising new technique for assisted human reproduction. The legal proposed research is both comprehensive and purposeful.
