The present doctoral thesis addresses the insufficient exploration of the concept of play style in current video game player's research. To reach the goal, theoretical framework of style as an intentional model of player's believes and desires is used. The main proposition of this particular paper is based on the presumption that play style works as a tool for predicting opponent's behavior. The research consists of two parts. The first one proposes a categorization which might in greater accuracy explain existing forms of play. The second part researches the topic of intentionality further through the procedural model of style prediction in progaming area, which is exemplified by the video game League of Legends. The results are based on extensive analysis of players' texts, interviews with semiprofessional players, commentators and game journalists. The conclusion implies a significant number of play styles and procedural complexity of recursive theory of mind ("I think about what you think that I think") in the field of video games.

The thesis deals with the issue of enumerating and mapping the needs of the homeless. It compares tools for measuring homelessness which are described in literature and shows the way for implementation of measuring within the area of smaller municipalities. Findings about homelessness, homeless phenomenon and services for the homeless published in the literature are discussed at the beginning of the theoretical part. The core fragment of the theoretical part is devoted to a discussion on the basis and ways of measuring homelessness both in the Czech Republic and abroad. Different tools for measuring homelessness are compared in the thesis, appended with commentaries reflecting author's own multiyear experiences with providing services for target group and his involvement in surveys. The empirical part describes the process of verifying the applicability of the given methodology for enumerating and mapping the needs of homeless in practice. The procedures how author reached the final adjustments of the given methodology are described in this part. The modified methodology for counting and mapping the needs of homeless is presented in the conclusion. At final stage the modified methodology is compared with the methodology used for enumerating homeless in the United States.

In the first part, this thesis is examining the psychology of C. G. Jung, especially those parts, which are somehow connected to interpersonal relationships. That means foremostly the psychological projections and mechanisms, which are causing those projections. By those mechanisms, I mean the dynamics of consciousness - unconsciousness, the shadow and the cognitive functions. Besides those concepts and mechanisms, the thesis aims to explore the way which Jung ascribes to deal with those shadow projections - in favor of improving the interpersonal relationships. This deed lays mainly in the so-called individuation, with main focus on the shadow integration. The aim of the second part of this thesis is to reflect upon the C. G. Jung's psychology from the theological ethics point of view. The thesis is defining the criteria of goodness of the interpersonal relationship from the theological ethics standpoint. Then further uses those criteria to clarify the conditions under which could be maintained the dialogue and cooperation between theology and psychology and thus, under which conditions is theologically acceptable to utilize C. G. Jung's findings.

The overall theme of the thesis is the current state of Internet portals (gateways) dedicated to electronic information resources at Czech academic libraries. The purpose of such portal (or sites within academic library web pages) is to form a gateway to every electronic resource available within the university. In the theoretical part of the thesis history, purpose and components of such portals are described followed by the typology and organization of electronic information resources used at library portals in the USA and other mainly English speaking countries. The following part of the thesis is a practical application where 6 selected portals are first analyzed then compared with each other according to 5 criterions described in the previous part: organization of its resources, readability, consistency, usability and presence of additional functions or services. Subsequently by applying the method called "Thinking Aloud" usability testing of two selected portal is performed. The aim of the paper is not only to map the current state of portals but also to present methodology for analysis of other similar portals. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Insofern der Titel der Dissertation schon auf ein „Phänomen“ verweist, ist angedeutet, dass von einem zunächst nicht festgelegten Auftreten kleinbürgerlicher Figuren ausgegangen wird. Der Autor bringt, so die Grundthese, sein Herkunftsmilieu zur Anschauung; es ist davon auszugehen, dass dies vielfältig und nicht ausschließlich abwertend geschieht. Es wurde eine Auswahl an Texten von Grass getroffen, die einen Überblick über das Gesamtwerk gestattet. Sie umfasst Romane, Novellen und solche Texte, denen der Autor keine konventionelle Gattungsbezeichnung zugewiesen hat, die aber ihrer Struktur nach als erzählende Texte gelten können (viele handelnde Figuren, detailreiche Schilderungen, nicht in Versen verfasst, nicht auf Aufführung ausgelegt): „Die Blechtrommel“ (1959), „örtlich betäubt“ (1969), „Aus dem Tagebuch einer Schnecke“ (1972), „Kopfgeburten oder Die Deutschen sterben aus“ (1980), „Die Rättin“ (1986), „Ein weites Feld“ (1995), „Im Krebsgang“ (2002). Im abschließenden Kapitel wird überdies resümierend auf „Beim Häuten der Zwiebel“ (2006) sowie sporadisch auf „Grimms Wörter“ (2010) und das posthum erschienene „Vonne Endlichkait“ (2015) eingegangen. Zur Gliederung der Texte in Werkphasen wurden eine aktuelle Position nach Sabine Moser (2002) sowie weitere Einschätzungen der bekannten Grass-Forscherin Gertrude Cepl-Kaufmann (1975 und folgende) miteinander verbunden. Zur Erarbeitung eines möglichst sachlichen Begriffs über das Kleinbürgertum wurde neuere sozialhistorische Forschungsliteratur (Haupt/Crossick, 1998 und folgende) hinzugezogen, die: 1. älteren Forschungsbeiträgen über Grass nicht zur Verfügung standen oder 2. durch neuere Forschungsbeiträge nicht zur Kenntnis genommen worden sind.

La demande mondiale de nourriture et d’energie est en constante augmentation. L’accès à de nouvelles terres arables étant limité, les agriculteurs devront produire environ 70% de plus par hectare d'ici 2050. L'optimisation et la rationalisation des systèmes de production agricole sont essentielles pour assurer la sécurité alimentaire des populations dans des conditions durables. La communauté agricole serait en mesure d'optimiser les performances des cultures en ayant accès à une meilleure compréhension des systèmes de production, notamment concernant leur potentiel et principaux facteurs limitants. Dans ce contexte, la caractérisation des conditions de croissance des cultures prenant en compte leurs impacts sur le potentiel de production et sur les pertes de rendement est importante pour identifier les marges de progrès et proposer des systèmes agricoles améliorés.Dans cette étude une approche est proposée pour caractériser l'environnement de grandes zones géographiques prenant en compte les impacts des ressources clés au développement des plantes (température, rayonnement, eau et azote) sur la performance des cultures. Le niveau de disponibilité de ces ressources a été estimé en utilisant des approches de modélisation de culture, intégrant données météorologiques et caractéristiques de sol. L'efficacité d'utilisation des ressources disponibles a été caractérisée par les pratiques culturales ainsi que la stratégie et l’environnement technique des agriculteurs. Une procédure générique d’intégration de la donnée a été établie et utilisée pour décrire la production de maïs grain en Amérique du Nord de 1991 à 2013. Le jeu de données résultant de cette intégration couvre 84% des superficies plantées en maïs, décrites par 1 558 unités spatiales élémentaires, pour un total de 28 303 scénarios indépendants. Cette méthode combine et harmonise les observations de rendement issues des statistiques agricoles avec un large ensemble de descripteurs pertinents de conditions de croissance.Un sous-ensemble de 21 facteurs limitants a été identifié par une analyse de sélection de variables pour expliquer 66% de la variabilité des pertes de rendement observées. Compte tenu du nombre de dimensions du jeu de donnée, la méthode relaxed lasso a été choisie comme un compromis intéressant entre capacité de prédiction et d’interprétation. Les descripteurs sélectionnés montrent la contribution de la gestion des cultures à la variabilité des pertes de rendement, en particulier les niveaux d'intensification de l’agriculture et l’environnement technique des agriculteurs. Le troisième facteur principal est la disponibilité en eau et la sécheresse qui en résulte. L’utilisation des connaissances en physiologie dans la conception de descripteurs a considérablement amélioré la capacité d’interprétation de la proposition et la confiance des utilisateurs finaux dans l'approche.La structure des facteurs limitant le rendement a été utilisée pour identifier les Environnements Types les plus fréquents. Deux approches ont été proposes : l’une axée uniquement sur les facteurs physiologiques et l’autre intégrant également l’identification de marchés de taille homogène. 11 Environnements Types ont été identifiés en fonction des facteurs physiologiques et 8 en combinant facteurs physiologiques et contraintes de taille de marché. Les Environnements Types basés sur les facteurs physiologiques sont très informatifs sur l'évolution historique des pratiques culturales et les changements de stratégie des agriculteurs au cours du temps. Une telle catégorisation des conditions de croissance a montré des capacités à reproduire l'expertise de terrain et à soutenir l'évaluation de génotypes. Trois cas d'utilisation ont servi à illustrer l'intérêt de l'approche pour (i) décrire l'historique environnemental d'un marché, (ii) définir des populations d’Environnements cibles (TPE) et (iii) évaluer la pertinence de l'échantillonnage environnemental de réseaux multi-lieux (MET). / The global demand for food and energy is constantly increasing. As access to spare arable land is limited, growers will have to produce about 70% more per hectare by 2050. Optimization and rationalization of the agricultural production systems is then critical to ensure food security under sustainable conditions. The agricultural community would be in a position to optimize crop performance by better understanding the cropping systems, especially regarding potential production and limiting factors. In this context, the ability to characterize crop growing conditions in regards to their impacts on potential yield and yield gap is important in order to identify margins of progress and propose improved farming systems.An approach is proposed to characterize the crop environment of large geographical areas taking into consideration the impact on crop performance of the key resources for plant development (temperature, solar radiation, water and nitrogen). The level of availability of each resource was estimated by using crop modeling approaches integrating weather data and soil characteristics as inputs. The efficiency of use of the available resources was characterized by crop practices, grower strategy and grower technical environment. A generic integration procedure was established and used to describe corn production for grain in North America from 1991 to 2013. The resulting dataset covers 84% of the total corn planted area, deciphered in 1,558 elementary spatial units, for a total of 28,303 independent scenarios. Such a method combines and harmonizes, at scale, yield observations from agricultural statistics with a large set of relevant descriptors of growing conditions.A subset of 21 main limiting factors was identified through variable-selection analysis to explain 66% of the observed yield-gap variability. The relaxed lasso method resulted in an interesting compromise between interpretability and prediction ability. The selected descriptors highlighted the contribution of crop management in yield-gap variability, especially regarding levels of crop intensification and the technical environment of growers. The third main factor is water availability and resulting drought. The integration of knowledge in crop physiology into descriptor design significantly improved the interpretability of the proposal and the confidence of end-users in the approach.Yield-gap patterns were used to identify the set of most frequent Environment Types. Two approaches were proposed: one focused on crop physiology drivers and another also considered market-size homogeneity among Environment Types. This resulted in 11 Environment Types based on crop physiology drivers and 8 Environment Types when combining crop physiology drivers and market constraints. Crop-physiology Environment Types are very informative on the historical evolution of cultural practices and the changes in grower strategies over the studied period. Such categorization of growing conditions demonstrated the ability to reproduce field expertise and support genotype evaluation. Three business Use Cases were used to illustrate the interest of the approach in (i) describing the environmental history of a market, (ii) defining relevant Target Population Environments (TPE) and (iii) evaluating the environmental sampling relevance of Multi-Environment Trials (MET).

En 2018, environ un milliard de personnes vivaient sans électricité. Or l'extension des réseaux est confrontée à de nombreux défis qui compromettent la soutenabilité de l'électrification traditionnelle. Les Projets d'Electrification Décentralisée (PED) offrent désormais des solutions réalistes pour un accès à l'électricité hors réseau dans les pays en développement. Cette thèse explore le rôle de la demande de fiabilité du service d’électricité comme déterminant d’une extension durable du réseau, et l'efficacité de l'offre d’électricité décentralisée pour l’atteinte des objectifs du développement durable. Avec des données sur les coupures observées par les ménages au Kenya, le premier chapitre établit la préférence des ménages pour la fiabilité du service d'électricité, laquelle pourrait constituer le levier majeur d’une extension efficace du réseau. Dans le deuxième chapitre, une méta-analyse consolidant 112 évaluations de projets décentralisés montre que la technologie, la capacité et la gouvernance supportent les choix de conception les plus déterminants pour atteindre les objectifs du développement durable. Le troisième chapitre explore la gamme d'objectifs atteints par les pratiques de l’électrification décentralisée. Les plus efficaces sont celles qui adressent les utilisations productives et les services publics, ainsi que les micro-réseaux dans les zones éloignées, qui ont des impacts positifs sur l’information et la communication. La probabilité d'impacts positifs augmente avec la capacité des systèmes solaires individuels, qui favorisent la santé et l’éducation. / By 2018, about one billion people were living without electricity. The extension of electrical grids is facing many challenges that jeopardize the sustainability of traditional electrification. Decentralized Electrification Projects (DEP) now offer feasible solutions for offgrid access to electricity in developing countries. This thesis explores the role of the demand for reliability of the electricity service as a determinant of sustainable extension of the electrical grid, and the efficiency of electricity supply by DEP to achieve the sustainable development goals. With data on outages observed by households in Kenya, the first chapter establishes the households' preference for the reliability of electricity service, which could be the major lever for effective network expansion. In the second chapter, a meta-analysis consolidating 112 decentralized project evaluations shows that technology, capacity and governance support the design choices that are most critical to achieving the sustainable development goals. The third chapter explores the range of objectives achieved by decentralized electrification practices. The most effective are those that address productive uses and public services, as well as micro-networks in remote areas, which have positive impacts on information and communication. The likelihood of positive impacts increases with the capacity of solar home systems, which favor health and education.
