The first, theoretical section describes the calculations used, marketing plan and market analysis. The second part is practical and there is specifically described a plan how to deal with building a restaurant with bowling and beach sports pitch in the town Rakovník and what is the expected development during the first five years. Key to the success of company is the marketing plan and the use of employee benefits in the cooperating companies. The thesis should provide the appropriate basis for investor and subsequent realization of the project.

As atividades de controle de versões são consideradas essenciais para a manutenção de sistemas de computador. Elas começaram a ser realizadas na década de 1950 de forma manual. As primeiras ferramentas de controle de versões, que surgiram nos anos setenta, não evoluíram significativamente desde sua criação e, até hoje, o controle de versões de arquivos é geralmente realizado em arquivos ou mesmo módulos completos, utilizando os conceitos que foram lançados há mais de três décadas. Com a popularização da utilização de sistemas computacionais, ocorreu um sensível aumento no número de sistemas existentes e, também, na complexidade dos mesmos. Além disso, muitas alterações ocorreram nos ambientes de desenvolvimento de software, e existe demanda por sistemas que permitam aos desenvolvedores ter cada vez mais controle automatizado sobre o que está sendo desenvolvido. Para isso, algumas abordagens de controle de versões refinados para artefatos de software foram propostas, mas, muitas vezes, não oferecem a exibilidade de utilização exigida pelos ambientes de desenvolvimento de software. Neste trabalho, é apresentado um sistema que visa a fornecer suporte ao controle de versões refinado e flexível para artefatos de software, tendo por base um modelo bem definido para representação das informações da estrutura dos arquivos que compõem determinado projeto de software, sejam eles código-fonte dos programas de computador, documentação criada em Latex, arquivos XML, entre outros. O sistema apresentado foi projetado para ser integrado com outras soluções utilizadas em ambientes de desenvolvimento de software / Version control tasks are considered essential for the maintenance of computers systems. They have been done since beginning of 50\'s in a by hand manner. First tools, which were released in 70\'s, didn\'t evolve significantly since its creation, and, in general, version control systems still work with entire files or even modules of software, having the same concepts that were launched more than three decades ago. With the popularization of computers systems there had been a sensible increase in the number of existing systems and also in the complexity of these systems. Besides that many changes have taken place in the software development environments, and there is demand for systems which allow developers to have more automated control about what is being developed. Regard to this demand some approaches of fine-grained version control have been proposed, but they usually do not provide the required exibility for its use in the real software development environments. In this work its presented a system which aims at providing support for exible and fine-grained version control of software artifacts, using a well defined model to represent the logical structure of the files which compose a software project, independently of its type - they can be XML files, source-code files, Latex files and others. The system has been designed to be integrated with other software solutions used in software development environments

This thesis concerns a dilemma of multi-lingual web applications. The document describes some general solutions while suggesting such applications, however first of all it is aimed for information system VUT and its enlargement for translation administration. The text contains structural description of this system and instruments used during its development, but especially it defines system requirements of programming engineers and translators, describes and evaluates new language versions solution and there are possibilities of contingent extensions considered at the conclusion of my thesis.

Dans cette thèse, nous étudions les jeux combinatoires sousdifférentes contraintes. Un jeu combinatoire est un jeu à deux joueurs, sanshasard, avec information complète et fini acyclique. D’abord, nous regardonsles jeux impartiaux en version normale, en particulier les jeux VertexNimet Timber. Puis nous considérons les jeux partisans en version normale, oùnous prouvons des résultats sur les jeux Timbush, Toppling Dominoeset Col. Ensuite, nous examinons ces jeux en version misère, et étudionsles jeux misères modulo l’univers des jeux dicots et modulo l’univers desjeux dead-endings. Enfin, nous parlons du jeu de domination qui, s’il n’estpas combinatoire, peut être étudié en utilisant des outils de théorie des jeuxcombinatoires. / In this thesis, we study combinatorial games under differentconventions. A combinatorial game is a finite acyclic two-player game withcomplete information and no chance. First, we look at impartial gamesin normal play and in particular at the games VertexNim and Timber.Then, we consider partizan games in normal play, with results on the gamesTimbush, Toppling Dominoes and Col. Next, we look at all these gamesin misère play, and study misère games modulo the dicot universe and modulothe dead-ending universe. Finally, we talk about the domination game which,despite not being a combinatorial game, may be studied with combinatorialgames theory tools.

Mantendo o detalhamento sobre a gestão do processo da versão 94, a versão 2000 enfatiza o conceito de melhoria contínua, propondo um novo desafio aos que buscam implementá-la. Para tal, algumas adequações se fazem necessárias a fim de contemplar os quesitos da nova versão, e os programas de melhoria iniciados na unidade alvo têm este intuito, sendo os resultados destes refletidos diretamente sobre os indicadores utilizados. Este reflexo poderá ser avaliado ao se comparar os dados históricos relativos aos indicadores de processo (rejeição, desperdício, confiabilidade de entrega, produtividade e projetos de melhoria) e de satisfação de clientes (reclamações de qualidade relativas à produção e satisfação de clientes internos) adotados para a versão 94 e os números obtidos após o início das ações de transformação, executadas visando à adequação à nova versão. Especificamente a respeito das normas, será feita uma revisão de literatura, abrangendo a comparação entre as duas versões, ressaltando o que a mais recente ¿ centrada na melhoria contínua ¿ traz de diferencial em relação à versão anterior. Também se fará uma explanação sobre o conceito de melhoria contínua ¿ foco da versão 2000 ¿ nas visões da norma e de teóricos da qualidade, e sobre o uso e a importância dos indicadores. Com isto, será possível avaliar o potencial da ISO 9001:2000 como instrumento de canalização de esforços para a melhoria / Abstract: The aim of this research paper is to evaluate ISO 9001:2000 version as a catalyst for improvement programs. Keeping the detailed data on process management brought up by the 94 version, ISO 9001:2000 emphasizes the concept of continuous improvement, presenting a new challenge to those who try to implement it. For such an effort, some settlements are needed in order to meet all the new version requirements, and the improvement programs started in the target-unit have such goal, and their results have directly reflected upon the unit performance indicators. This effect on the indicators will be more clearly evaluated by comparing historical data related to process (rejection, waste, serviceability, productivity and improvement programs) and to customer satisfaction (customer complaints related to manufacturing process and internal customer satisfaction) established considering 94 version and the numbers achieved after the actions focused on the new ISO version took place. Particularly concerning to norms, a literature review will be done, embracing a comparison between the two versions, paying special attention to what the 2000 version ¿ focused on continuous improvement ¿ brings as differential over the previous one. A brief explanation on the concept of continuous improvement ¿ core of the 2000 version ¿ will also be part of this paper considering the norm and experts contributions, and on the use and relevance of indicators. Based on that, it will be possible to evaluate the potential of ISO 9001:2000 as a tool to canalize improvement efforts / Mestrado / Gestão da Qualidade Total / Mestre em Engenharia Mecânica

Cette Thèse s'inscrit au coeur d'un programme de recherche visant, entre autres, l'évaluation de la relation d'attachement mère-enfant à travers divers programmes d'intervention avec des clientèles variées. "L'attachment Q-Sort" (version 3) de Waters (1995) a été utilisé aux fins de la formation au construit de l'attachement, ainsi que pour l'évaluation de la qualité de la relation parent-enfant. Étant donné que cet instrument Q-Sort s'inscrit dans une tradition de recherche distincte selon que l'on privilégie des approches quantitatives ou qualitatives, il y avait lieu d'explorer plus systématiquement la contribution de chacune quant au potentiel de discrimination des patrons relationnels d'attachement mère-enfant sur le plan de la comparaison intra- et intergroupe. Cette démarche analytique a été réalisée selon les paramètres de la démarche normative employée couramment dans les recherches rapportées dans la littérature sur l'attachement, en plus d'aborder le traitement statistique habituellement adopté par les tenants de la méthodologie Q (Stephenson, 1953). Les résultats obtenus démontrent qu'effectivement les scores critères de sécurité et de dépendance permettent de bien distinguer les quatre échantillons à l'étude, sélectionnés sur la base de conditions pouvant compromettre la qualité du lien d'attachement mère-enfant. Quant aux résultats des analyses Q, ils permettent de mettre en évidence des profils d'attachement plus variés et l'utilisation par les évaluatrices des items les plus probants dans la description de ces profils. Dans l'ensemble, les résultats normatifs distinguent quatre profils d'attachement mère-enfant et les résultats descriptifs issus des analyses Q permettent d'identifier 47 des 90 items, ayant davantage contribué à la description des profils obtenus aux analyses factorielles Q.

When working in software development teams, there are challenges when it comes to always keeping the software stable and reliable. Continuous integration are frequently used to increase the stability and reliability. Extensive research has been performed on the matter of development processes of continuous integration, but there are no consensus on how systems to support continuous integration should be implemented for best results. In this report a continuous integration system is implemented based on best practices and to support the general continuous integration development process, by using Jenkins and other open source tools. The system is adapted to work well with the cross-platform mobile development framework CoffeeMaker developed by VISIARC AB and the general needs of the company. In order to roughly estimate the increased developer productivity and product quality when introducing the system, a questionnaire that discusses the system and working habits was sent out to the developers. The evaluation lead to the conclusion that the productivity would improve by approximately 30-60 minutes per week and developer. It also lead to the conclusion that the quality of their developed applications would most probably increase by introducing such a system.

Thesis (MMed)-- Stellenbosch University, 2013. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: AIM: Review outcome of pregnancies following successful external cephalic version (ECV) for breech presentation at term, particularly the caesarian section (CS) rate. ECV is a safe procedure with a minimal cost implication that can reduce non-cephalic presentation at onset of labour at term. The outcome of pregnancies following successful ECV is certainly of interest. A meta analysis of studies done between 1997 and 2004, found that pregnancies after successful ECV at term were not the same as those with spontaneous cephalic presentations and was associated with a CS rate twice that in pregnancies with spontaneous cephalic presentations. The conclusion was that pregnancies after successful ECV should not be considered the same as normal pregnancies. In a matched retrospective analysis of CS risk after successful ECV, done in the USA, it was concluded that CS delivery and operative vaginal delivery rates following successful ECV, were not increased. To date there are no such studies in South Africa. METHODOLGY: A retrospective descriptive study was done to audit all successful ECV’s done at the Fetal Evaluation Clinic (FEC) of Tygerberg Academic Hospital. The electronic data from the FEC was searched for successful ECV patients. The facilities where these patients delivered were identified. The outcome of the pregnancies was determined from patient files and/or the labor registers. The relevant information of each patient was captured. All file reviews and data capturing was done by the principal investigator. RESULTS: A total of 78 patients were included in the study. The median age was 28.7 years with a range from 17 to 40 years, the median parity 1 and the range 0 to 6 and the median body mass index 27.2 and the range 18.2 to 45.0. The method of determining gestational age is known in 71 (91%) patients of whom 37 (52%) had an early ultrasound examination. The median gestational age at ECV was 37 weeks with the inter quartile range 36 to 38 weeks. The median ECV to delivery time was 2 weeks with the inter quartile range 1 to 4 weeks. Higher levels of care were required at time of delivery by 47 (60.3%) patients. Vaginal deliveries occurred in 49 patients and 29 (37.2%) had CS. The most common indications for CS were cephalo pelvic disproportion 8, fetal distress 6, reversion back to breech presentations 4 and other abnormal presentations 4 (2 face presentations and 2 transverse lies). The mean birth weight of the babies was 3360g and the range 2100 to 4655g. On comparing the groups that had vaginal deliveries and CS, only nulliparous patients had a significantly (p=0.02) higher risk for CS. CONCLUSIONS: Following successful ECV all patients need to be carefully followed up for possible reversion to breech presentation or transverse lie. Nulliparous and gravid 2 para 1 patients with a previous CS need to be delivered in hospitals with CS facilities. Further studies are required to assess whether successful ECV results in more face presentations. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: DOELWIT: Om die uitkoms van swangerskappe na suksesvolle eksterne kefaliese kerings (EKK) vir stuit presentasies op voltyd, spesifiek die keisersnit (KS) insidensie te bepaal. EKK is ‘n veilige prosedure wat teen minimale koste die nie-kefaliese presentasies op voltyd kan verminder. Die uitkoms van swangerskappe na suksesvolle EKK is van belang. ‘n Meta-analise van studies gedoen tussen 1997 en 2004 vind dat swangerskappe na suksesvolle EKK op voltyd nie dieselfde is vergeleke met spontane kefaliese presentasies nie en gepaard gaan met ‘n KS koers tweekeer hoër as dié met spontane kefaliese presentasies op voltyd. Die gevolgtrekking was dat swangerskappe na suksesvolle EKK nie as normale swangerskappe beskou moet word nie. In ‘n gepaarde retrospektiewe ontleding van die KS risiko wat in die VSA gedoen is, word gevind dat die KS en operatiewe vaginale verlossing koerse na suksesvolle EKK, nie verhoog is nie. Tot op hede is daar geen studies hieroor in Suid-Afrika gedoen nie. METODE: ’n Retrospektiewe beskrywende studie is gedoen om all suksesvolle EKK wat by die Fetale Evaluasie Kliniek (FEK) gedoen is te oudit. ‘n Elektroniese data soektog van suksesvolle EKK by die FEK is gedoen. Die instellings waar die pasiënte verlos is, is vasgestel. Die uitkoms van die swangerskappe is bepaal deur pasiënt lêers en/of die kraamregisters na te gaan. Die relevant inligting oor elke pasiënt is versamel. RESULTATE: ‘n Totaal van 78 pasiënte is by die studie ingesluit. Die mediane ouderdom was 28.7 jaar met ‘n reikwydte van 17 tot 40 jaar, die mediane pariteit was 1 met ‘n reikwydte van 0 tot 6 en die mediane liggaamsmassa indeks 27.2 met ‘n reikwydte van 18.2 tot 45.0. Die metode waavolgens swangerskapsduurte bepaal is, was bekend in 71 (91%) van pasiënte, waarvan 37 (52%) vroeë ultraklank ondersoeke gehad het. Die mediane swangerskapsduurte tydens die EKK was 37 weke met die interkwartiele interval 36 tot 38 weke. Die mediane EKK tot verlossing tydsverloop was 2 weke met die interkwartiele interval 1 tot 4 weke. Hoër vlakke van sorg was nodig ten tye van die verlossing by 47 (60.3%) van pasiënte. Van die pasiënte het 49 vaginale verlossings en 29 (37.2%) KS gehad. Die mees algemene indikasies vir KS was skedel-bekken disproporsie 8, fetale nood 6, terugkeer na stuitpresentasie 4 en abnormale presentasies 4 (2 aangesigsliggings en 2 transversliggings). Die gemiddelde geboorte gewig van die babas was 3360g en die reikwydte 2100 tot 4655g. Wanneer die groep wat vaginale verlossing en KS gehad het vergelyk word, het slegs nullipareuse pasiënte ‘n betekenisvolle (p=0.02) hoër risiko vir KS gehad. GEVOLTREKKING: Na suksesvolle EKK moet alle pasiënte noukeurig opgevolg word vir terugkeer na ‘n stuit presentasie of transversligging. Nullipareuse en gravida 2 para 1 pasiënte met ‘n vorige KS moet in hospitale met KS fasiliteite verlos word. Verdere studies is nodig om te bepaal of suksesvolle EKK meer aangesig presentasies tot gevolg het.

The Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire is an internationally widely used instrument assessing different eating styles that may contribute to weight gain and overweight: emotional eating, external eating, and restraint. This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the 30-item German version of the DEBQ including its measurement invariance across gender, age, and BMI-status in a representative German population sample. Furthermore, we examined the distribution of eating styles in the general population and provide population-based norms for DEBQ scales. A representative sample of the German general population (N = 2513, age > 14 years) was assessed with the German version of the DEBQ along with information on sociodemographic characteristics and body weight and height. The German version of the DEQB demonstrates good item characteristics and reliability (restraint: α = .92, emotional eating: α = .94, external eating: α = .89). The 3-factor structure of the DEBQ could be replicated in exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses and results of multi-group confirmatory factor analyses supported its metric and scalar measurement invariance across gender, age, and BMI-status. External eating was the most prevalent eating style in the German general population. Women scored higher on emotional and restrained eating scales than men, and overweight individuals scored higher in all three eating styles compared to normal weight individuals. Small differences across age were found for external eating. Norms were provided according to gender, age, and BMI-status. Our findings suggest that the German version of the DEBQ has good reliability and construct validity, and is suitable to reliably measure eating styles across age, gender, and BMI-status. Furthermore, the results demonstrate a considerable variation of eating styles across gender and BMI-status.
