A partir de l’introduction d’un objet roulant inédit : le rickshaw à moteur, je propose dans une ethnographie multisituée de « tenir » les deux bouts d’une chaîne qui a organisé l’engouement pour ce nouveau mode de transport. De la fondation à la stabilisation de la filière, il s’agit d’explorer au raz du trois-roues, la mise en route africaine de l’innovation indienne, pour comprendre entre Kinshasa (RDC) et les petites villes du delta du Nil (Égypte) un processus de composition collectif dans sa dimension génétique, ce pas de temps vulnérable et méthodologiquement expérimental. / Starting from the introduction of an unprecedented rolling object: the autorickshaw, I propose, in a multi-sited ethnography, to “hold” the two extremities of a chain that has created such a keen interest for this new transport mode. From the founding to the stabilisation of this industry, the implementation in Africa of the Indian three-wheeled innovation, to include, between Kinshasa (DRC) and the small towns of the Nile Delta (Egypt), a collective composing process from a genetic standpoint, this vulnerable and methodologically experimental time slot.

The main objective of this thesis is to analyze and estimate the impact of research and development (R&D) on the economy of the EU. The impact of Labour Force and Gross Fixed Capital Formation are also investigated alongside. Using Ordinary Least Squares method and data from 1993 to 2013, the results show that R&D in the form of Gross Expenditure on R&D in the EU plays a positive significant role in economic growth as well as the other factors; labour force and gross fixed capital formation. Graphical analysis of factors that influence R&D in member states show that the R&D efforts and intensities are very dissimilar. Based on these, this paper recommends a two-prong approach by the EU to increase R&D and Innovation intensity by focusing on increasing R&D intensity in both private and public sectors of individual member states. Apart from governments providing more fiscal support for R&D, the EU is advised to introduce a more detailed R&D scoreboard which will cover both private and public sectors of member states to highlight the real situation of R&D in the Union. This paper concludes that the EU 3% target of R&D intensity by the year 2020 is only possible if they will focus more on increasing the intensity as recommended

The main task of this diploma thesis is making design of furniture without using metal and glued joints with the use of unconventional machining method. The theoretic base of the whole thesis is characteristic of individual unconventional machining methods with its historical development, machining principle, description of machinery, description of general utilization and utilization in the area of furniture production. In the next part I'm discussing diversity of joining techniques and their use for the design of folding furniture, either with demountable fittings or with joinery, carpenter or other joints. In the final part of this work space is devoted to my own design of folding furniture (armchair) where I also focus on individual constructions of seating furniture and compliance of relevant anthropometric and ergonomic dimensions for its realisation.
