The aim of my thesis is to assess the basic yield factors in the studied varieties of spring wheat. In the year 2013, there were in the framework of the test sown eight varieties (Brawura, Corso, Epos, Granny, Scirocco, Septima, Tercie and Vánek) at the land of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of South Bohemia in Ceske Budejovice. During the vegetation the number of plants, the number of sprouts and the number of spikes was recorded using a quarter tape. The data are in the results section and are converted to 1 m2. Additionally, the infestation by diseases, pests and overrunning with weeds was monitored. Before harvesting, the samples were taken for an evaluation of the number of grains per spike and HTZ. In the results section the main factors of the yield are statistically evaluated. These include the number of spikes, the number of grains per spike and HTZ. The study also evaluates the theoretical and the actual yield and the bulk density. The average number of ears in the varieties of spring wheat ranged from 411 (Corso) to 564 (Epos) ears per 1 m2. The number of grains per spike of individual varieties reached higher values, from 39,6 (Scirocco) to 57,8 (Corso). The average HTZ for the individual varieties was between 34,9 and 43,5 g. At finding of the real yield there were observed values from 3,4 t.ha-1 (Septima) to 4,5 t.ha-1 (Scirocco). The difference between the yield elements of were statistically significant all varieties.

Cette thèse analyse le mythe fondateur des Mille et une nuits, ou « mythe de Shéhérazade », par une approche psychanalytique et comparatiste. Nous mettons en évidence que le récit-cadre des Nuits constitue un récit mythique, miroir de l’imaginaire collectif, qui révèle la place de la femme, du féminin et du maternel dans le processus de civilisation.En effet, les Nuits s’ouvrent sur un double adultère et un double meurtre: deux femmes, sultanes, trompent leur époux avec un esclave noir. Ce désir féminin transgressif est le déclencheur de tout le recueil. Il constitue le péché originel qui entraîne la déchéance et le chaos. Shahrayar, tel le patriarche de la horde primitive freudienne, se venge et instaure le meurtre de la femme comme loi. La parole infinie de Shéhérazade, à la fois amante et mère, crée une zone transitionnelle féconde et mène le sultan à renoncer à la jouissance éphémère pour entrer dans le champ de la sublimation et du symbolique. Par la fonction symbolique du langage, la conteuse conduit le tyran à advenir sujet, parlêtre, soumis aux lois fondamentales de la civilisation.Nous analysons l’évolution de la dialectique du féminin, du maternel et des lois symboliques dans les réécritures, imitations, pastiches, perversions, parodies, tragédies, suites et adaptations musicales du mythe de Shéhérazade du XVIIIe au XXIe siècle. / This thesis analyzes the founding myth of the Arabian Nights, or « myth of Scheherazade », with a psychoanalytical and comparative approach. This research points that the frame story of the Nights is a mythical story that constitutes the mirror of the collective imagination, which reveals the place of the woman, the feminine and the maternal in the process of civilization.The Nights open on a double adultery and a double murder scene: two sultanas commit adultery with a black slave. This transgressive feminine desire is the trigger of the Arabian Nights' collection. It constitutes the original sin that leads to the forfeiture and the chaos. Shahrayar, such as the patriarch of the Freudian primal horde, decides to take revenge on them and institutes as a law the murder of women. The infinite word of Scheherazade, who is at the same time lover and mother, creates a transitional fertile space and leads the sultan to give up the temporally enjoyment to enter the field of the sublimation and symbolism. With the symbolic function of the language, the storyteller leads the tyrant to become parlêtre, subject to the fundamental laws of civilization.We examine the rewritings, imitations, pastiches, perversions, parodies, tragedies, continuations and musical adaptations of the myth of Scheherazade from eighteenth to the twenty-first century, to analyze the dialectic’s evolution of the feminine, the maternal and the symbolic laws.

La maladie de Lyme est émergente au Canada; le risque engendré par cette maladie vient en partie de la ténacité de son vecteur et des méthodes limitées pour réduire son abondance dans l’environnement. Actuellement, peu de moyens de prévention visent de manière efficace et sécuritaire le réservoir principal de la bactérie responsable de la maladie, la souris à patte blanche Peromyscus leucopus. L’objectif de ce projet était d’évaluer l’efficacité des isoxazolines, une nouvelle classe d’antiparasitaire, lorsqu’administré sous forme d’appâts oraux aux micromammifères résidents d’un site endémique pour la maladie de Lyme. Les appâts furent distribués lors de l’été 2018 et 2019, sur les terrains choisis du parc national des Mille-Îles, en Ontario. La capture de micromammifères, en terrain traité et non traité, nous permit d’évaluer l’infestation (nombre de tiques par souris) du réservoir Peromyscus alors que l’effet du traitement sur la densité de tiques dans l’environnement fut estimé par la technique de flanelle. L’impact de la molécule d’isoxazoline employée (sarolaner versus fluralaner), de la biodiversité et du type d’environnement (caractéristiques de la forêt, température, humidité) fut également évalué. Des modèles linéaires mixtes binomiale négative furent composés pour déterminer l’impact de chacune des variables mesurées et du traitement sur les variables dépendantes, soit le nombre de tiques sur les souris capturées et la densité de nymphes dans l’environnement. Après deux étés de traitement, les souris capturées sur les microsites traités furent significativement moins infestées que les souris capturées sur les microsites contrôles pour 3 des 5 sites étudiés. Par contre, aucune diminution significative du nombre de nymphes dans l’environnement ne fut observée, probablement dû à la courte durée du devis d’étude. La densité de nymphes dans l’environnement variait toutefois en fonction de l’année d’échantillonnage et était positivement corrélée avec la biodiversité au niveau du microsite. Le nombre de tiques sur Peromyscus spp. était associé au sexe (les mâles étant plus infesté) et à la taille de l’animal, au mois et à l’année de la capture, à une forte densité de larves dans l’environnement et au traitement effectué sur le microsite de capture. Le fluralaner se montra plus efficace à réduire l’infestation moyenne des rongeurs. Cette étude fut la première à étudier l’utilisation de saronaler oral chez le réservoir principal de l’agent de la maladie de Lyme en milieu naturel. L’effet du traitement chez les micromammifères est prometteur, mais son efficacité pour réduire la densité de tiques dans l’environnement reste à confirmer. / Lyme disease is the most common vector-borne disease in North America; the risk caused by the disease is partly due to its tick vector’s tenacity and limited number of approaches to reduce its abundance in the environment. Few existing methods efficiently and safely target the principal host for the bacteria, white-footed mice Peromyscus leucopus.The objective of this thesis was to evaluate the efficacy of a new family of antiparasitic drug, isoxazolines, when passively administered as an oral bait to micromammals in endemic site for Lyme disease. Oral baits were distributed during the summer of 2018 and 2019 on five selected sites in the Thousand Islands National Park. Density of ticks in the environment was estimated using drag sampling while small mammal trapping allowed biodiversity and infestation (number of ticks per mouse) to be assess. Impact of isoxazoline used (sarolaner or fluralaner), biodiversity and characteristics of environment (type of forests, temperature, humidity) were also evaluated. Linear mixed models were fitted to determine the impact of measured variables and treatment on infestation level and density of questing nymphs. Results show a significant reduction in tick load for mice captured on treatment plots compared to control plots for 3 out of 5 sites. However, we did not observe a significant reduction in the density of questing nymphs, probably due to the limited duration of the study. Density of nymphs followed interannual variation and was best explained by humidity levels at the time of sampling and plot-level host biodiversity. Peromyscus spp. infestation was linked to the sex (male being more infested) and body length of the mice, high density of questing larvae, year and month of capture and treatment applied to the microsite. Fluralaner showed to be more efficient at reducing mice average tick load. This study was the first to use oral sarolaner to treat the most important reservoir for the Lyme disease agent in the environment. Our protocol did not significantly reduce questing nymphs in the environment for the duration of this study but could potentially diminish Lyme disease human risk with long term use through reduced Peromyscus infestation.

赫爾曼．梅爾維爾(Herman Melville)的小說《白鯨記》(Moby-Dick, 1851)以其極富深度的思維吸引著讀者，並將捕鯨船上的生活百態萌發為哲學領域的思考。《白鯨記》富有多重意義的特徵使之不乏多面向的解讀，其中若以「海上旅行」作為分析的視角切入，《白鯨記》的成就將益加彰顯。《白鯨記》體現了旅行者如何因心態的不同影響其感知，在伊息默爾(Ishmael)所重述的故事中，以「遇見他者」(encounter the other)的論點觀之，能夠促進存在於伊息默爾與亞哈船長(Captain Ahab)之間相異處的瞭解。自兩者身為彼此殊異的旅行者的對比中，探討旅行者是否真實地「遇見他者」與經歷轉變的過程，本論文將伊息默爾視為能夠真實「遇見他者」的旅行者，亞哈則因其狹隘的復仇心態導致他無法獲得「遇見他者」的機會。 　　緊接著檢視不同旅行者的探討後，對於旅行者更深層的審視將以德勒茲(Gilles Deleuze)與葛塔力(Félix Guattari)的「游牧理論」(nomadology)進行推論，從游牧推衍的概念如：「戰爭機器」(war-machine)與「國家機器」(the State apparatus)，適以處理由伊息默爾、亞哈船長與莫比．迪克(Moby Dick)所構築的關係維度。以啟迪於游牧學的反抗思維進行分析，使得亞哈的捕鯨之旅不再僅是被動地受對莫比．迪克的仇恨牽引，更是蘊藏著亞哈本身具備的能動性。游牧理論能夠開展無法以偏執狂(monomaniac)化約亞哈的特質，讓對亞哈追逐莫比．迪克的解析更形豐富，亞哈不僅具備「國家機器」的控制作為，也擁有「戰爭機器」的抵抗能力。此外，本論文更援引德勒茲與葛塔力的「變成動物」(becoming-animal)理論藉以瞭解亞哈與莫比．迪克之間可能的（變成）關係，「變成」(becoming)理論的應用並非強調外在型體上的相似，而是闡述亞哈身處與莫比．迪克居中關係內所經歷的非形體轉變，亞哈透過「逃逸線」(lines of flight)的模式，使之身處「變成莫比迪克」(becoming-Moby Dick)的進程，藉以顯示其強烈欲望的能量流動。 　　總體上，本論文旨在將「游牧」與「變成」理論的特質帶入《白鯨記》的文本中，產生進一步的對話空間，能使讀者從僅視《白鯨記》為單純冒險式的捕鯨敘事中進入「游牧思想」體現的思辨過程。 / Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick (1851) captivates readers with its exuberance and renders the experiences of shipboard life into a source of philosophy. Moby-Dick bears manifold characteristics worthy of exploration. Among the multiple entries into the literary research, Moby-Dick’s achievement becomes evident when being analyzed from the perspective of sea journey. Moby-Dick manifests how a traveler’s mind-set influences her/his perception along the way on the sea journey. In light of encounters with the other, Ishmael’s recounted narrative assists in the understanding of the distinction between him and Captain Ahab as different travelers. The contrast between Ishmael and Ahab concerns whether they really encounter the other and undergo transformation. This thesis considers Ishmael as a traveler who really encounters the other while Ahab keeps his one-track mind-set on his revenge, which halts the chance for his encounter with the other. Following the examination of different travelers, Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari’s nomadology would be applied to further the reading of travelers. The triangular dimension among Ishmael, Ahab and Moby Dick is interpreted with the concepts derived from nomadology such as a war-machine and the State apparatus. Mainly focused on the power of resistance highlighted from nomadology, Ahab’s whale hunt deserves more attention to mobility rather than to the passiveness channeled by his revenge upon Moby Dick. More than what the monomaniac can show, the theory of nomadology would potentially enrich the analysis of Ahab’s pursuit of Moby Dick. Ahab plays both a role of the controlling force like the State apparatus and a role of the resisting power like the war-machine. Besides nomadology, Deleuze and Guattari also employ becoming-animal to suggest the possible inspirational resonance between Ahab and Moby Dick. Instead of an emphasis on the physical resemblance, “becoming” sheds light on the incorporeal transformation which Ahab undergoes within the in-between relationship with Moby Dick. Through his “lines of flight,” Ahab has been involved in becoming-Moby Dick to assert his energy flow out of the intense desire. Overall, this thesis aims at generating more dialogue by bringing nomadology and becoming in the context of Moby-Dick. This incorporation would allow readers to consider Moby-Dick as the manifestation of Deleuze and Guattari’s “nomad thought” rather than as a mere whale-hunting story of adventure.

The theses presents results of experiments with spring barley started in years 2017 and 2018. The experiments were put into practice at Mr Jiří Nepovím's (BSc) place in Opatovice near Světlá nad Sázavou. Laudis 550 was used as the experimental variety of spring barley and the objective of the experiment was to observe the increasing amount of nitrogen and its effect on the resulting quantity and quality. The experimental amounts of nitrogen were set to 60 kg.ha-1, 75 kg.ha-1, 90 kg.ha-1, 105 kg.ha-1 and 120 kg.ha-1. With the increasing amount of nitrogen the crop increased of 0,2 - 0,4 t.ha-1. The share of nitrogen substances in grain increased of 0,2-0,5 %.

L’objectif de cette thèse est de faire découvrir le personnage d’Ahmad al-Rabbât al-Halabî, un libraire syrien qui a vécu entre la seconde moitié du XVIIIe siècle et la première moitié du XIXe siècle, de répertorier et présenter ses manuscrits et d’enquêter sur les utilisateurs « lecteurs » de cette archive culturelle : ce qui peut permettre d’apporter des réponses concrètes à certaines questions sur la littérature arabe, la création et la circulation des textes. Les recherches ont conduit à identifier environ 240 volumes, dispersés un peu partout dans le monde, de la bibliothèque initiale d’al-Rabbât. Les marges de ces manuscrits contiennent un grand nombre de certificats de lecture rédigés par plusieurs générations de lecteurs. Le travail sur les sources manuscrites a aussi donné la possibilité de créer une base de données sur les copistes, les propriétaires et les lecteurs des manuscrits, de déterminer le rôle qu’ont joué les voyageurs occidentaux et les agents consulaires dans la vie de ces documents. / The aim of this thesis is to bring to light the unknown figure of Ahmad al-Rabbât al-Halabî, a Syrian bookseller, who lived between the second half of the eighteenth century and the first half of the nineteenth century, to catalog and present his manuscripts and to investigate the users « readers » of this cultural archive: it can provide concrete answers to questions raised in the Arabic literature, the creation and circulation of texts. The research led to identify about 240 volumes, scattered around the world, from the initial library of al-Rabbât. The margins of these manuscripts contain a large number of reading certificates written by many generations of readers.The work on the manuscript sources also presented an opportunity to create a database of the copyists, the owners and the readers of manuscripts, and to determine the role played by Western travelers and consular agents in the production and the history of the manuscripts.

This thesis is concerned with transnational literature and writers of the Middle Eastern and South Asian diasporas. It argues that the diasporic position of the authors enables their roles as comprador subjects. The thesis maintains that the figure of the comprador is always acted upon by its ontological predisposition, so that diasporic positionality often involves a single subject which straddles and speaks from two or more different subject positions. Comprador authors can be said to be co-opted by Western metropolitan publishing companies who stand to benefit by marketing the apparent marginality of the homelands about which these authors write. The thesis therefore proceeds from the notion that such a diasporic position is the paradoxical condition of the transnational subject or writer. I submit that there is, to some degree, a questionable element in the common political and cultural suggestions that emerge upon closer evaluation of diasporic literature. Indeed, a charge of complicity has been levelled against authors who write, apparently, to service two distinct entities – the wish to speak on behalf of a minority collective, as well as the imperial ‘centre’ which is the intended interlocutor of the comprador author. However, it is this difference, the implied otherness or marginality of the outsider within, which I argue is sometimes used by diasporic writers as a way of articulating with ‘authenticity’ the cultures and politics of their erstwhile localities. This thesis is concerned, therefore, with the representation of ‘the East’ in four novels by diasporic, specifically comprador writers, namely Salman Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children, Hanif Kureishi’s The Buddha of Suburbia, and Khaled Hosseini’s The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns. I suggest that the ‘third-world’ and transnational literature can also be a selling point for the transnational subject, whose representations may at times pander to preconceived ideas about ‘the Orient’ and its people. As an illustration of this double-bind, I offer a close reading of all the novels to suggest that on the one hand, the comprador author writes within the paradigm of the ‘writing back’ movement, as a counter-discourse to the Orientalist representations of the homeland. However, the corollary is that such an attempt to ‘write back’, in a sense, re-inscribes the very discourse it wishes to subvert, especially because the literature is aimed at a ‘Western’ audience. Moreover, the template of the comprador could be used to explain how a transnational post-9/11 text from an Afghan-American, for instance, may be put to the service of the imperial machine, and read, therefore, as a supporting document to the U.S. policy on Afghanistan.

The evaluation of government programs can provide a better use of the resources invested, as well as providing social policy makers and program managers with insights into the design of more consistent policies and more effective public management. The objective of this study is to elaborate an evaluation of the Thousand Women Program in Alagoas, specifically to examine the effectiveness of the program by verifying compliance with the objectives proposed by the program, identifying the impact on the lives of participating women, analyzing the cost-effectiveness of the Program together with the efficiency of its processes and finally to elaborate a proposal for improvement. The research, in the form of na exploratory study, of a qualitative nature, was carried out through a case study, using documentary research techniques, the survey method and the participant research. After establishing the parameters for measuring the efficiency, effectiveness and effectiveness of the Program, these were applied in practice, using as basis the courses carried out in the city of Campo Alegre, Alagoas. It was verified that the Program can be effective in meeting the objectives, effective as the transformation of the local reality with some reservations and inefficient. / A avaliação de programas governamentais pode proporcionar uma melhor utilização dos recursos aplicados, além de fornecer aos formadores de políticas sociais e aos gestores de programas dados importantes para o desenho de políticas mais consistentes e para a gestão pública mais eficaz.

Verificou-se que o Programa consegue ser eficaz quanto ao atendimento dos objetivos, efetivo quanto a transformação da realidade local com algumas ressalvas e pouco eficiente.

The diploma thesis deals with seven novels by the contemporary British novelist David Mitchell. Using textual analysis, it traces the ways in which the novels are connected, most visibly expressed through reappering characters and realities, and provides an overview of Mitchell's biblioverse. The work also notes the differences between the fictional and the real, which Mitchell's novels examine, and leads to a broader reflection on the meaning of storytelling or the meaning of a cultural encyclopedia.
