Gu Taiqing (1799-1876) also known as Gu Chun was poetess of Manchu origin, author of shi poems, ci lyrics and the first Chinese novel written by woman. Research of the diploma thesis is based on ci lyrics collection Fisherman`s songs from Eastern Sea and partly on shi poems Collection from the Tower of Celestial Wandering. Gu Taiqing`s poetry, of which some translations are included, is strongly autobiographical and it almost represents chronicle of her life. Poems give opportunity to explore her curriculum vitae, lyrics on the other hand create space for Gu Taiqing`s unique poetry language. Gu Taiqing expresses herself in many ways - as devoted wife, loving mother, faithful friend, art enthusiast, traveller and flower fancier. The main directions of her poetry was poetic interview or exchange with her husband Yihui and poems addressed to her friends - poetesses, members of The Autumn Red poetess circle. Gu Taiqing was inspired by each of the following Song poets: Zhou Bangyan, Jiang Baishi, Li Qingzhao, and their specific influence on Gu Taiqing`s poetry will be shown with examples in the diploma thesis. Gu Taiqing's poetry connects traditional literature with the first diffident exploration of the new territory. Gu Taiqing`s unique poetic expression completes woman chambers poetry and shows the...

As ownership of Hong Kong changed hands from the United Kingdom to the People's Republic of China in 1997, citizens and filmmakers of the city became highly aware of the political environment. Film director Wong Kar-Wai creates visually stimulating films that express the anxieties and frustrations of the citizens of Hong Kong during this period. This study provides a political reading of Days of Being Wild (1991), In the Mood for Love (2000), and 2046 (2004) through analyzing various story elements and details within the mise-en-scene. Story elements include setting, dialogue, character relationships, character identities, thematic motifs, musical references, numerology, and genre manipulation. Wong also uses details within the films' mise-en-scene, such as props and color, to express political frustrations. To provide color interpretations, various traditional aesthetic guidelines, such as those prescribed by Taoism, Cantonese and Beijing opera, and feng shui, are used to read the films' negative comments on the handover process and the governments involved. When studied together the three films illustrate how Wong Kar-Wai creates narrative and visual references to the time and atmosphere in which he works, namely pre-and-post handover Hong Kong.

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 19 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Objetivos: Estimar a prevalência de capacidade para o trabalho em trabalhadores da indústria metalúrgica e verificar a confiabilidade teste-reteste do Índice de Capacidade para o Tabalho (ICT).Metodos: Foram realizados 2 estudos, um estudo de prevalência e um estudo da confiabilidade teste-reteste. O estudo de prevalência partiu de uma amostra não-probabilística com trabalhadores de 4 empresas do setor metal-mecânico de Caxias do Sul e Vacaria (N=460). Tais trabalhadores responderam um questionário auto-aplicável, padronizado e pré-testado. O estudo da confiabilidade do ICT foi realizado com trabalhadores de 2 empresas (N= 153), os quais responderam o ICT 2 vezes, com intervalo de 4 semanas entre elas. A análise dos dados para o estudo de prevalência utilizou o cálculo das Razões de Prevalência e seus respectivos Intervalos de Confiança (IC95%). A confiabilidade teste-reteste do ICT foi estimada pelo coeficiente de correlação intra-classe (CCI), t-teste pareado e coeficiente Kappa (kpon) ponderado.Resultado / Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of the prevalence of decreased work ability in metallurgy workers and to assess the test-retest reliability of the Work Ability Index (WAI). Methods: Two studies were carried out: a prevalence study with a convenience sample of 441 metallurgy workers of four industries from Southern Brazil; and a 4-week-interval test-retest reliability study with 153 workers. Data analyses included chi-squared tests, prevalence ratios and their confidence intervals for the prevalence study; and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), paired t-test and weighted Kappa coefficient for the test-retest study. Results: The prevalence of decreased work ability was 11,2% (CI95% 8.2-14.2). Decreased work ability was not associated with any of the dependent variables. The test-retest reliability for the WAI as a continuous variable showed na ICC of 0,84 (CI95% 0,78-0,88, p<0,001) and the paired t-test did not show significant difference between the 1st and the 2nd application. The weight

Das World Wide Web (WWW) bietet immer mehr Möglichkeiten zur Kommunikation, Information und Inanspruchnahme verschiedenster Dienstleistungen. Neu eingeführte Begriffe wie eCommerce, eGoverment, eScience und ähnliche verdeutlichen die Durchdringung des Alltags im Privaten wie Beruflichen. Doch in der Euphorie der Digitalisierung der Lebenswelten muss verstärkt auf die speziellen Bedürfnisse Älterer oder Behinderter eingegangen werden, das WWW muss für alle Personen barrierefrei sein. Aufgabe des theoretischen Teils der Diplomarbeit ist es, aktuelle gesetzliche Regulierungen, existierende Regularien sowie Initiativen im Bereich Barrierefreiheit vorzustellen und zu systematisieren. Ferner sollen Testprogramme, welche existierende Webseiten auf Barrierefreiheit hin untersuchen, analysiert werden. Im praktischen Teil der Diplomarbeit werden existierende Tools zum Webdesign in Bezug auf Barrierefreiheit analysiert. Hierzu soll ein System geschaffen werden, welches HTML-Seiten automatisch auf Kriterien der Barrierefreiheit hin untersucht, Fehler anzeigt sowie Optimierungsvorschläge unterbreitet.
