Snowmelt Floods in Relation to Compound Drivers in North America and Europe
No full textV okviru raziskave smo analizirali dejavnike, ki vplivajo na nastanek poplav zaradi taljenja snežne odeje in spadajo pod t.i. sestavljene dogodke. Do sestavljenih dogodkov pride ob sočasnem nastopu različnih naravnih pojavov ali nesreč, ko se le-ti pojavijo časovno ali prostorsko sočasno. Posledično je vpliv takih dogodkov večji kot zaradi običajnih dogodkov. V okviru naloge smo analizirali različne vplivne dejavnike kot so temperatura zraka, padavine, debelina snežne odeje, hitrost vetra, vlažnost tal, itd.. Izbrali smo 107 porečij v Evropi in Severni Ameriki, kjer so bili na voljo merjeni podatki o pretokih za obdobje 1979-2019. Največje letne poplave smo klasificirali glede na definirano tipologijo z upoštevanjem naslednjih tipov poplav: poplave zaradi kombinacije padavin in taljenja snežne odeje, poplave zaradi taljenja snežne odeje, poplave zaradi dolgotrajnih padavin in poplave zaradi kratkotrajnih padavin. Omenjene tipe poplav smo nadalje razdelili še glede na mokre in sušne začetne razmere na porečju.
Rezultati so pokazali, da se na izbranih porečjih najpogosteje pojavijo poplave zaradi taljenja snežne odeje. Na porečjih, ki so locirana na višjih nadmorskih višinah, se najpogosteje pojavljajo poplave zaradi kratkotrajnih ali dolgotrajnih padavinskih dogodkov. To je mogoče presenetljiv rezultat, saj so na višjih nadmorskih višinah temperature običajno nižje in bi pričakovali večji vpliv snega, vendar so bile poplave v primeru teh porečjih najpogosteje posledica večjih poletnih neviht. Na porečjih, ki so locirana na nižjih nadmorskih višinah, pa so poplave najpogosteje posledica taljenja snežne odeje. Nadalje smo ugotovili, da je predhodna vlažnost (mokri predhodni pogoji) eden izmed pomembnih dejavnikov nastanka poplav. Vlažnost tal je imela tudi največji relativni vpliv na merjene podatke o pretokih.
Izvedene so bile tudi analize sezonskosti. Zaznali smo območja, kjer je sezonskost zelo izrazita, kar pomeni, da se poplave skoraj vedno pojavijo v istem obdobju leta, kot je Severna Amerika ter osrednja Norveška in Švedska. To lahko pripelje do sočasnega pojava poplav na večjih območjih, kar še povečuje njihov vpliv in z njimi povezano gmotno škodo.This study assessed the drivers of snowmelt floods in relation to compound events. Compound events are when multiple drivers/hazards occur in the same geographic region/time scale, thus amplifying their impacts. The climate drivers considered in this study are temperature, precipitation, snow thickness, snow liquid water equivalent, wind speed, vapour pressure and soil moisture content. 107 different catchments across North America and Europe were investigated, from the years 1979-2019. Each annual maximum flood was sorted into a different flood typology. These typologies were rain-on-snow floods, snowmelt floods, long precipitation floods, and short precipitation floods. These four flood typologies are all split into another two categories, with a wet initial condition and a dry initial condition.
The results indicate that the considered catchments have snowmelt floods being the dominant flood type. The high elevation catchments had the dominant typologies being short precipitation floods and long precipitation floods. This initially surprised us, as higher elevations have colder weather and thus are expected to be more influenced by snowfall. However, these mountainous regions often experience large summer rainstorms, thus creating the maximum annual flood. Lower elevation catchments had snowmelt driven floods as the dominant typology. The wet initial conditions were also much more prevalent than the dry initial conditions, proving the importance of the soil moisture condition. This was confirmed through an investigation of the relative influence of the climate factors on the determination of the river discharge. Here, soil moisture had the largest relative influence.
Results were determined for the seasonality of the floods as the average day of the year the floods occur on. Based on the results of this, there are geographic regions, such as northeastern North America and central Sweden and Norway, which have a strong seasonality and the floods occur at roughly the same time every year. This can lead to spatially compounding events, where many hazards occur in one geographic region at the same time, thus amplifying their impacts

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

Využití sociálních médií v B2B prodeji
No full textTato diplomová práce se zabývá tím, jak mohou B2B obchodníci využívat sociální média v prodeji. Na základě systematické rešerše literatury, autor zjistil, že akademici, zkoumající danou problematiku, navrhují další výzkum, a to: v kterých konkrétních krocích se dají využít sociální média v prodeji (Salo, 2017). Autor se na základě toho rozhodl zjistit, jaké sociální sítě, různé technologie a pluginy se dají využít v B2B prodeji - tzv. social sellingu. Social selling se v této práci týká primárně procesu akvizice a okrajově péčí o stávající zákazníky. Autor si vybral kvalitativní průzkum pomocí 10 hloubkových polo-strukturovaných rozhovorů, aby odhalil jak, která sociální média to jsou, tak i motivaci prodejců, proč tato média používat/nepoužívat. Aby autor dodržel správnost vyhodnocení výsledků, data byla analyzována pomocí Tématické analýzy, která v této studii vykrystalizovala 2 hlavní strategické přístupy v social sellingu. Tyto přístupy (tzv. Push a Pull strategie) obsahují praktické příklady a konkrétní aktivity, které mohou prodejci využívat v každodenní praxi. Tyto výsledky jsou prezentovány s důrazem na praktičnost a jednoduchost implementace. Tvoří proto hlavní přínos autorovo výzkumu. V poslední části autor zmiňuje výzvy a manažerská doporučení, které mohou obchodníci využít v každodenním pracovním životě.This diploma thesis focuses on social media usage in B2B sales. Based on the systematic literature review conducted by the author, he has found out that recent researchers (Salo, 2017) suggest further research in the area of how and in which sales phase should various social networking sites, technologies and plugins used. To further fill this research gap, author decided to identify these social media and their usage among B2B salespeople in the so-called social selling process. The social selling process in this thesis applies mainly to acquiring new prospects and tangentially to taking care of existing clients (follow-up step). Author has chosen a qualitative research method via conducting 10 in-depth semi-structured interviews to reveal these instruments as well as motivation of a sales person on why to use social media in the selling process. The collected data was analyzed using Thematic analysis to ensure the right procedure and to identify main themes which crystalized into 2 main strategic approaches in social selling. These approaches (Push and Pull) include practical examples of concrete activities which sales people can use in their daily jobs and are presented with focus on practicality and ease of implementation. These also form the main contribution of author`s research. In the last part, author mentions challenges in social selling and recommended managerial implications for salesforce
Evaluating the influence of a g-quadruplex prone sequence on the transactivation potential by wild-type and/or mutant p53 family proteins through a yeast-based functional assay
No full textP53, P63, and P73 proteins belong to the P53 family of transcription factors, sharing a common gene organization that, from the P1 and P2 promoters, produces two groups of mRNAs encoding proteins with different N-terminal regions; moreover, alternative splicing events at Cterminus further contribute to the generation of multiple isoforms. P53 family proteins can influence a plethora of cellular pathways mainly through the direct binding to specific DNA sequences known as response elements (REs), and the transactivation of the corresponding target genes. However, the transcriptional activation by P53 family members can be regulated at multiple levels, including the DNA topology at responsive promoters. Here, by using a yeast-based functional assay, we evaluated the influence that a G-quadruplex (G4) prone sequence adjacent to the p53 RE derived from the apoptotic PUMA target gene can exert on the transactivation potential of full-length and Nterminal truncated P53 family α isoforms (wild-type and mutant). Our results show that the presence of a G4 prone sequence upstream or downstream of the P53 RE leads to significant changes in the relative activity of P53 family proteins, emphasizing the potential role of structural DNA features as modifiers of P53 family functions at target promoter sites
TeX v jednoduchém unixovém prostředí
No full textsummary:Při ladění TeXového dokumentu potřebujeme mnohokrát opakovaně pouštět TeX, podívat se, jak dopadl výsledek v prohlížeči DVI nebo PDF souboru, mrknout na výpis TeXu na terminálu, podívat se případně do logu a celou činnost opakovat. V tomto článku je ukázáno, jak tuto práci dělá autor článku. Proces "editor-TeX-kuk" je zde podporován jednoduchými unixovými nástroji: bashovým skriptem texloop, který si autor pro tyto účely vytvořil, dále terminálem Xterm a jednoduchým editorem, který umí navázat na klávesovou zkratku spuštění příkazu v systému. Čtenář se zde může inspirovat a přizpůsobit tyto nástroje svým vlastním potřebám. V článku je popsána funkce skriptu texloop, dále je neformálně rozveden dlouholetý vývoj autorova vztahu k textovým editorům a konečně je zde uvedena konfigurace terminálu Xterm, aby vyhovoval českému prostředí jak v kódování ISO-8859-2, tak v kódování UTF-8. Pro kódování UTF-8 si v závěru článku vygenerujeme TeXový formát csplain.summary:By debugging a TeX document it is necessary many times repeatedly to run TeX, to look for the result in DVI or PDF file, to gander the TeX output on the terminal, or eventually to have a look in the log-file, and all that action to repeat. In the paper it is show, how this work is made by author. The process '‘'editor-TeX-look' is supported by simple Unix tools: bash script texloop, created by author for these purposes, Xterm terminal and a simple editor, which is able to link to the shortcut key the activation of a system command. The reader could be inspired with the solution and to adapt these tools to his/her own needs. In the paper the function of the texloop script is described, and further the longstanding evolution of the author's relation to text editors is informal elaborated and finally a configuration of Xterm terminal, suitable for the czech environment with both ISO-8859-2 and UTF-8 encoding is introduced. For UTF-8 encoding the TeX format csplain is generated at the end of the paper
