Samra Kovač DEPARTMENT: Institute of Ethnology and Central European and Balkan Studies SUPERVISOR: doc. PhDr. Alenka Jensterle Doležal, CSc ABSTRACT: The topic of the thesis is the analysis of the 1986 novel Skretnice by Bosnian author Jasmina Musabegović (1941), especially with regard to the position of women and their image in the novel. From a gender perspective, we will be interested in her psychological profile in relation to the other characters, especially in the question of her intimacy and relationship with the other gender. The aim of the thesis will be to explore the position of the woman or her emancipation. Another aim will be to present the inner world of the woman and her experience of the patriarchal world. The thesis will include a literary analysis as well as a study of the historical, cultural and social aspects of the Bosnian reality. I will focus on the period of the modern realist novel, in which modernity is represented by the suggestiveness of the new Bosnian prose and its structure, and I will present the analysis in the context of Bosnian and South Slavic prose at the end of the 20th century.

Efektywność oczyszczalni ścieków As-Samra w jordanii i możliwości wykorzystania ścieków oczyszczonych
No full textWater is a basic human need, yet millions of people around the world do not have enough access to clean water. There are many claims on the world's water supply, from agriculture and industry to drinking water, municipal uses and tourism. It is a global issue, and everyone must share what is available. However, in some places, water is exceptionally scarce and people are extracting it faster than it can be replenished. Sixty-three percent of the world's population that has no access to clean water lives in Asia, the Middle East and North Africa. By 2025 most of the Middle East countries are expected to experience water stress or scarcity. Jordan represents a typically water constrained economy that is daily confronted with decisions on its water use. With a fast growing population and an expanding agricultural sector, the demand for alternatives of fresh water resources remains imminent. An important strategy for the Jordanian government is to meet the water demand for agricultural sector by producing more treated wastewater. Treated wastewater generated in wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) is an important component of Jordan's water resources. In Jordan there are 23 wastewater treatment plants treating approx. 100 million m3/year of wastewater in different type of treatment systems. The systems are divided into trickling filters, activated sludge and waste stabilization ponds. Most of the WWTP are small, except for the plant as As-Samra, which treats more than 80% of this quantity. The new As-Samra WWTP is using the activated sludge process with nutrient removal and chlorine for disinfection. In this study, characteristics of wastewater for WWTP As-Samra were determined. Characterization of wastewater was evaluated in terms of measuring chemical oxygen demand (COD), biological oxygen demand (BOD5), total suspended solids (TSS), for the influent and effluent from the plants. The performance of the wastewater treatment plants was evaluated and the quality of the reclaimed wastewater was compared with Jordanian Standards to determine its suitability for reuse.Woda jest niezbędna do życia, jednak miliony ludzi na świecie nie mają wystarczającego dostępu do jej zasobów. Codziennie należy zapewnić ciągłą dostawę czystej wody dla rolnictwa i przemysłu, do spożycia, a także do wykorzystania na cele rekreacyjne. Problem zaopatrzenia w wodę ma zasięg globalny, jednak w niektórych krajach jej zasoby są wyjątkowo małe, a zużycie jest większe niż naturalne możliwości uzupełnienia deficytu. 63% populacji ludzi na świecie, która nie ma wystarczającego dostępu do czystej wody, mieszka w Azji, na Bliskim Wschodzie i w Północnej Afryce. Przewiduje się, że około 2025 roku większość krajów Bliskiego Wschodu doświadczy znacznego niedoboru wody. Zarządzanie wszystkimi sektorami gospodarki w Jordanii codziennie opiera się na podejmowaniu decyzji związanych z określeniem zużycia wody. Szybko rozwijające się rolnictwo (64% zużycia wody) oraz wzrost zaludnienia (28% zużycia wody) wymagają szukania alternatywnych źródeł wody. W gospodarce wodnej Jordanii duże znaczenie ma strategia ponownego wykorzystania ścieków oczyszczonych, które są ważnym składnikiem bilansu wodnego Jordanii, stanowiąc ok. 15% zasobów wodnych. W Jordanii w 23 oczyszczalniach ścieków o wydajności ok. 100 milionów m3/rok ścieki oczyszczane są w trzech podstawowych systemach, takich jak: filtry gruntowe, osad czynny i stawy stabilizacyjne. Większość obiektów jest mała, z wyjątkiem oczyszczalni As-Samra, która przyjmuje ok. 80% całkowitej ilości oczyszczanych ścieków. Oczyszczalnia As-Samra po zakończeniu modernizacji w 2008 r. pracuje w technologii osadu czynnego z usuwaniem biogenów i dezynfekcją chlorem ścieków oczyszczonych. W pracy przedstawiono charakterystykę ścieków surowych i oczyszczonych z oczyszczalni As-Samra na podstawie wartości ChZT, BZT5 i zawiesiny ogólnej. Efektywność oczyszczalni As-Samra oceniono na podstawie standardów jakości ścieków oczyszczonych obowiązujących w Jordanii i możliwości ich ponownego wykorzystania
The Benefits of Being Economics Professor A (and not Z)
No full textAlphabetic name ordering on multi-authored academic papers, which is the convention in the economics discipline and various other disciplines, is to the advantage of people whose last name initials are placed early in the alphabet. As it turns out, Professor A, who has been a first author more often than Professor Z, will have published more articles and experienced afaster growth rate over the course of her career as a result of reputation and visibility. Moreover, authors know that name ordering matters and indeed take ordering seriously: Several characteristics of an author group composition determine the decision to deviate from the default alphabetic name order to a significant extent.performance measurement, incentives, economists, name ordering
Final word on Jersey Dutch

Logarithmic variance profiles and the corresponding f-1 spectra of temperature fluctuations in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection
No full textWe report experimental results for the temperature variance 2(z) and the corresponding frequency spectra P(f) in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection (RBC) in a cylindrical sample of aspect ratioT= D/L = 1:00 (D = 1:12 m is the diameter and L = 1:12 m the height). The measurements were conducted in the Rayleigh-number range 1011 < Ra < 1:35 1014 and Pr ' 0:8. For Ra = 1:35x1014, 2(z) could be described well by a logarithmic dependence on the vertical position z in a range of z 1 < z < z 2 with z 1 ' 70 and z 2 = 0:1L. Here L=(2Nu) is the thickness of a thin thermal sublayer adjacent to the horizontal plate where the heat flux (denoted by the Nusselt number Nu) is carried mostly by thermal diffusion. In the log layer, we found that the temperature spectra had a significant frequency range over which P(f) f with close to 1. As Ra decreased, increased so that the log layer became thinner. At Ra = 2:05 1011, z 2 < z 1 and therefore there was no range for a log layer. Correspondingly, the temperature spectrum near the horizontal plate did not have the f1 scaling form either
Statistics of the subgrid scales after the shock-turbulence interaction
No full textThe interaction of a normal shock with isotropic turbulence (IT) represents a basic problem for studying some of the phenomena associated with high speed flows, such as hypersonic flight, supersonic combustion and Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF). In general, in practical applications, the shock width is much smaller than the turbulence scales and the upstream turbulent Mach number is modest. In this case, recent high resolution shock-resolved Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) (Ryu and Livescu, J. Fluid Mech., 756, R1, 2014) show that the interaction can be described by the Linear Interaction Approximation (LIA). By using LIA to alleviate the need to solve the shock, DNS post-shock data can be generated at much higher Reynolds numbers than previously possible. Here, such results with Taylor Reynolds number around are used to investigate the properties of the subgrid scales (SGS). In particular, it is shown that the shock interaction decreases the asymmetry of the SGS dissipation PDF as the shock Mach number increases, with a significant enhancement in size of the regions and magnitude of backscatter
Transition to turbulence in a qblique shock-wave/boundary-layer interaction at M=15
No full textDirect numerical simulations are carried out for different forcing techniques to trigger transition during the interaction between an oblique shock-wave and a laminar boundary-layer at M = 1.5. Three forcing methods are used: a) forcing of oblique unstable modes, whose shape and behaviour are determined by the local linear stability theory, b) broadband free-stream acoustic disturbances, and c) a cold plasma flow control device. While the oblique-mode breakdown is dominant for low-amplitude forcing, long streaky structures drive the transition process in a high-amplitude disturbance environment. LES are also performed on the experimental setup by the Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (ITAM) from Novosibirsk State University with cold plasma actuation. As well as the disturbance type, the effect of Reynolds number and forcing amplitude will be investigated
Triangular Constellations in Flows
No full textParticles advected on the surface of a fluid can exhibit fractal clustering. The local structure of a fractal set is described by its dimension , which is the exponent of a power-law relating the mass in a ball to its radius : . It is desirable to characterise the {\em shapes} of constellations of points sampling a fractal measure, as well as their masses. The simplest example is the distribution of shapes of triangles formed by triplets of points, which we investigate for fractals generated by chaotic dynamical systems. The most significant parameter describing the triangle shape is the ratio of its area to the radius of gyration squared. We show that the probability density of has a phase transition: is independent of and approximately uniform below a critical flow compressibility , which we estimate. For the distribution appears to be described by two power laws: when , and when
Preferential concentration of particles in compressible turbulence
No full textThe behavior of particles in compressible turbulence has been seldom investigated to date despite its importance in many natural and industrial flows. Direct numerical simulations of particle-laden compressible isotropic turbulence are performed to study the preferential concentration of particles and the underling mechanisms. It turns out that heavy particles tend to concentrate in regions of low enstrophy and high fluid density (i.e, strain regions between vortex rings), especially the particles of Kolmogorov scale, which show the largest number density. Due to the compressibility, fluid particles do not distribute uniformly as in incompressible case, but show a tendency to bunch up in high density zones. The preliminary result might give some insights into compressible turbulent transport, dispersion and mixing as well as the subgrid-scale modeling for large-eddy simulation of particle-laden compressible flows
Turbulent structures in unsteady wall-bounded flow subject to temporal acceleration
No full textDirect numerical simulations (DNS) of a transient turbulent channel flow subject to constant temporal acceleration have been performed with a final Reynolds number of \Retau=800. The response of turbulent structures to the temporal acceleration is investigated. A significant delay in the response of turbulent flow is observed in various turbulent properties. It is found that the response of turbulent flow to temporal acceleration consists of two stages: the destruction of the initial \emph{old} turbulence, followed by the generation of \emph{new} turbulence associated with a higher number. The \emph{new} turbulence is much stronger than the \emph{old} turbulence
