Detta dokument innehåller 2018 års kandidatprojekt av Sebastian Waller. Projektets syfte var att rita en tvåparallellig F-6-skola, för uppskattningsvis 420 elever. Vi valde i projektets början mellan två tomter, en i Mälarängen och en i Henriksdal. Jag valde den sistnämnda då jag ville arbeta med en miljö som är mer urban till att börja med, samt att jag är rätt förtjust i Hammarby Sjöstad som stadsrumsmiljö, och tyckte det vore kul att få arbeta med det området. Dessutom tänkte jag att tomtens något svåra form verkade intressant att förhålla mig till. Den huvudsakliga gestaltningsprincipen jag utgått ifrån är ett stadsplaneringsperspektiv; tomten ligger belägen på ett sådant vis att skolan och dess byggnader blir avslutet på den geometri som går att utläsa ur Hammarby Sjöstads utbredning. Grundat på denna tanke har jag utformat två byggnader, en huvudbyggnad och en matsalsbyggnad, som blir avslutande partier på varsin del av områdets stadsbyggnadsmässiga plangeometri. Huvudbyggnaden blir det nordliga avslutet på volymerna i geometrin som tar sin början vid Regattakajen, och dess form har delvis tagits ur principer som kan återfinnas i dessa. Två nämnvärda sådana principer är de olika våningshöjderna mellan volymer, och hur några av områdets byggnader bryter de räta vinklarna utefter vägar m.m. Matsalen är i sin tur avslutet på geometrin som går utmed Kanalvägen, då jag bestämde att den får ett något abrupt slut om ingen byggnad placeras där, eftersom den nuvarande paviljongförskolan försvinner. Den är orienterad så att dess riktning möter “spetsen” och huvudbyggnaden. Formen är baserad på byggnaden söder om tomten, vilken skiljer sig något från områdets andra byggnader. Denna har en geometri som skapar ett öppet “torg” mot vägen, vilket för matsalen blir passande eftersom denna yta kan ackommodera lastbilsburna leveranser. / This document contains the bachelors' project of 2018 by Sebastian Waller. The purpose of the project was to produce a school for ages 6 though to 12 of two parallells per year, accommodating approximately some 420 students. At the start of the project we were given a choice between two sites, one in Mälarängen and one in Henriksdal (Henry Valley). I chose the latter since I wanted to work with an environment that's more urban to begin with, and because I'm quite fond of Hammarby Sjöstad as a cityscape, and figured working with that area would be fun. Furthermore, I thought the quite challenging shape of the site seemed like an interesting factor to relate to. The main principle of design I've used comes from a perspective of city planning; The site is situated in such a way that the school and its buildings form an end to the geometry that can be translated from the expanse of Hammarby Sjöstad. Based on this I've designed two buildings, one main building and one canteen building, that each provide ends to parts of the urban geometry in the area. The main building forms the northern end of the geometry that originates in Regattakajen, and its form has partially been generated from principles found there. Two such principles are the differing number of stories between different volumes, as well as the way in which some of the area's buildings break the otherwise straight angles to conform to roads etc. In turn, the canteen becomes the end of the geometry that follows Kanalvägen, which I thought would otherwise come to quite the abrupt cut-off when the current pavilion preschool at the site is removed. It is angled so as to point toward the main building and "meet" it at the "apex" of the resulting geometry. Its shape is based off of the building south of it, which differs slightly from the other buildings in the area. Its geometry creates a sort of open "plaza" facing the road, which when applied in the canteen building provides a suitable space for lorry-borne deliveries.

History of Dermatovenereology at Prague Medical Faculties in years 1790-1945. MUDr. Zuzana Kružicová Summary: The history of dermatovenerology at the Prague medical faculties has so far evaded the attention of medical historians. This work therefore fills the gap - albeit partially - by presenting a development of the discipline at the Charles University including its roots in Vienna. To achieve the goal I have first started with the figure of F. Hebra, the founder of modern systematics of skin diseases, and I have also attempted to outline the position of the Vienna dermatovenerology within the European context. The second part of my thesis describes the development of Prague dermatovenerology, which was reconstructed on base of study of archival as well as printed sources spanning the period between 1840s and 1945. The research strives to capture life and medical works of the leading figures in our dermatovenerology - A. Kraus, J. Čejka, J. Waller, V. Petters, V. Janovský, F. Šamberger, K. Gawalowski, P. J. Pick, K. Kreibich and J. Bezecny (Greipl). Apart from the biographical information I also focuse on the gradual development of dermatovenerology as a medical field, while highlighting its diagnostic and therapeutic options. My goal was to develop a comprehensive overview of the scientific publications,...

This report is a summary of my work and research during my three years at The University of Texas at Austin. I engage the city's impressive urban parks and new urbanist developments through my own practice of descriptive and interpretive landscape painting. Through continuous exploration of the city, research into the history of landscape painting and into the strategies of modern landscape architecture, I have learned to see more clearly the role that the visual history of depicted landscape plays in contemporary practices of landscape design and construction. This has reinforced my interest in understanding how painting as a medium plays a role in our cultural understandings of how landscapes should look and act. By experimenting with new formats and materials I continue to adapt my work to articulate a new, dynamic understanding of landscape in flux and inextricable from its human inhabitants. / text

In this thesis, I explore applied theatre and site-specific performance workshops as methods for public participation in city planning. “The Ghosts of Waller Creek” program worked to foster interest in and facilitate dialogue around the redevelopment of an abandoned urban creek area in Austin, TX. I explore three guiding questions: How does an applied theatre practitioner foster collaboration with non-theatre artists on a creative project that achieves common goals? How can applied theatre and site-specific performance workshops and events foster place attachment and engage citizens in city planning? How does an applied theatre practitioner translate participatory, applied theatre workshops into an artifact that is useful to city planners? Using reflective practitioner research processes and qualitative coding methods, I examine these questions through an analysis of surveys, interviews, performances, discussions, field notes, and observations. I first explore the role that goals, communication, and reflection played in my partnership with an urban designer. I then use place attachment theory to examine how the workshops and events shifted participants’ interest in, and engagement with, Waller Creek and city planning. Next, I investigate how performative artifacts such as audio maps and interactive performances can communicate participants’ opinions about Waller Creek to city planners and to the general public. Finally I discuss how the project situates in the field of arts-based civic dialogue and address guidelines for future projects. This thesis invites applied theatre practitioners to consider how their work can contribute to arts-based civic dialogue in their own communities. / text

This is an interdiscliplinary qualitative study which uses an exploratory research design and builds on Fariclough's Critical Discourse Analysis methodology to analyze the discourses surrounding an Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for livelihood development project in Jamaica, introduced by the United Nations Development Programme - the Jamaica Sustainable Development Networking Programme (JSDNP). The primary objective of this project is to provide the poor in Jamaican communities with access to, and training in ICTs. In this research, I specifically focus on the discourses surrounding the JSDNP Cybercentre Project for a group of microenterprise entrepreneurs in the Jamaican tourism industry to access the epistemological assumptions of this project. From the data collected it was found that at one level, the JSDNP Cybercentre Project encouraged specific ways of acting and organizing congruent with the configurations, processes and structures of corporate firms of industrialized countries, by representing the achievement of livelihood expansion through the use of specific ICTs in a particular way which excluded other discourses. The particular ways of acting and organizing promoted by the Cybercentre encouraged the use of non-indigenous technologies, undervalued indigenous technologies and excluded the indigenization of non-indigenous technologies. These discourses were incompatible with the operational and structural configurations of trans-temporal poor entrepretrepreneurs interviewed and were more favourable to the non-poor and spatio-temporal ones. One of the wider implications of the discourse therefore was that they play a fundamental role in perpetuating entrenched inequalities through the preservation of social practices, along with their associated systems and structures. It was also found that these modalities limited the operational processes of all microenterprise entrepreneurs who were exposed to the Cybercentre Project. These entrepreneurs have limited control over the configuration of non-indigenous technologies; their technological and creative capabilities are restricted; their ability to indigenize non-indigenous technologies impaired; and they are highly dependent on non-indigenous technologies (which themselves have a number of limitations).

L’objectif principal de cette thèse a été d’expliquer les raisons du succès du poème en prose dans les revues littéraires belges du dernier quart du XIXe siècle ;en particulier, nous nous sommes penchés sur les périodiques les plus prestigieux de la période :La Jeune Belgique (1881-1897) et La Wallonie (1886-1892).La première partie du travail a été consacrée aux difficultés relatives à la délimitation du corpus en question. Sous ce nom, les auteurs de l’époque ont fait paraitre des œuvres très dissemblables et la critique académique qui s’est penchée sur la question n’est jamais parvenue à fournir une définition cohérente du genre. Nous avons mis en évidence surtout comment il n’existe aucune solution de continuité entre le poème en prose et ce que Bertrand Vibert a appelé dans ses études « le conte poétique » symboliste.La deuxième partie de la recherche s’est alors portée sur la délimitation du corpus et sur la description des formes, des thèmes et des motifs les plus récurrents. Les principaux auteurs dont nous nous sommes occupés sont Hector Chainaye (1865-1913), Charles Delchevalerie (1872-1950), O. G. Destrée (1867-1919), Jules Destrée (1863-1936), Maurice des Ombiaux (1868-1943), Arnold Goffin (1863-1934), Charles Van Lerberghe (1861-1907) et Émile Verhaeren (1855-1916). Dans la partie finale, nous avons vu pour quelles raisons ce genre a été aussi souvent pratiqué par des écrivains fraichement entrés en littérature ;accepté tant par les Parnassiens qui occupaient à l’époque le pôle dominant du champ littéraire, tant par l’avant-garde symboliste, le poème en prose apparaissait comme le choix stratégiquement le plus sûr pour parvenir à la consécration. Nous verrons que ce genre ayant déjà « fait date », ce choix n’a pas été toujours payant. / Doctorat en Langues, lettres et traductologie / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished
