The Eastern Cape Department of Education consumes a huge chunk of the Eastern Cape provincial budget. Any transgression of the laws that govern how the public purse should be managed - whether overspending, under spending, irregular or wasteful expenditure - has far reaching consequences in terms of service delivery. The Eastern Cape is one of the poorest and most rural provinces in the country and by implication has huge service delivery backlogs .This has been confirmed by various stakeholders and role-players such as Chapter Nine institutions and non-governmental organisations. An observation by the Auditor-General and both the portfolio committees on Public Accounts and Education over the years is the lack of proper controls, especially in financial management. This study presents a case study of the Eastern Cape Department of Education in the financial years 2007-2012 to assess the Public Finance Management Act, Act 1 of 1999 (PFMA). The main objective of this study is to assist the department by putting forward lasting scientific recommendations and solutions that could be integrated into the plans of this department.

This paper examines a consensus-based approach to regulation making known as "regulation negotiation" or "regneg," and pursues the question, can regneg improve the performance of the federal regulatory process? Successfully implemented by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, regneg allows parties likely to be affected by a regulation to negotiate the substance of it. Although its use is rare in Canada, a similar process was used to help develop key regulations under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act. The paper argues that the performance of any regulatory process can be measured by its ability to accommodate the views of a more diverse range of interests, improve the quality of regulations, and hold regulation makers to a higher standard of accountability. Based on the U.S. and Canadian experience, the paper suggests that in certain circumstances, and with some refinements, regneg is capable of improving the regulatory process in all of these areas.

This study examines lecturers’ and students’ views about assessment for learning practices, within a Business School in Ireland, and investigates if these practices contribute to educationally worthwhile learning. The literature details the practices of assessment for learning, and how enactment of these promote educationally worthwhile learning, a term alluded to in the literature, yet not defined. This mixed-methods study collected quantitative data by distributing a survey instrument to all third year undergraduate students in the Business School. The qualitative data was gathered from classroom observations of two cohorts of those third year students, some of whom volunteered to participate in a focus group. Lecturers’ were interviewed following observation of their classroom practices. The findings revealed that students do not distinguish between AfL and non-AfL environments, yet classroom observations and focus group data depicted a different reality. While students perceive grade attainment as success, the thesis argues that this does not equate to educationally worthwhile learning. Lecturers regard the practices associated with AfL as good practice and not attributable to any particular environment. They perceive success in educational terms as getting the student ‘work-ready’ which they equate with educationally worthwhile learning. In conclusion, the practices of questioning, feedback, sharing criteria and peer- and self-assessment are not exclusive to AfL. It is the enactment of these practices, in any classroom environment within particular institutional learning cultures that determine if they act as a springboard or straitjacket to educationally worthwhile learning.

In 2010, Oregon Department of Education (ODE) developed a set of rubrics designed to score a state required performance assessment targeting Science Inquiry (SI) and Engineering Design (ED) skills. During the development of the rubrics, ODE invited six panels of teachers to provide feedback on an early draft of the rubrics. This case study analyzed the teachers' feedback and the revisions of the rubrics to identify the types of feedback teachers offered and how ODE used that feedback to develop the rubrics. The results showed the teachers' feedback focused on defining the skills students were asked to demonstrate and distinguishing levels of student performance. There was clear evidence that the teachers' feedback had a substantial impact on the development of the rubrics. These results suggest that teachers can add substantial value during the development of a state issued assessment tool.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether a significant relationship exists between particular home, student, and school characteristics and ACT scores and the relationship these characteristics subsequently have with the TVAAS grades assigned to each high school's ACT scores. These home, student, and school variables were socioeconomic status, percentage of minority, graduation rate, per-pupil expenditure, Gateway English II scores, and Gateway Algebra I scores. By looking at these variables and the influence they hold on the education of students, I sought to ascertain the fairness that is present when schools and districts are given grades through the TVAAS assessment.
The population in this study was students in the Tennessee high schools that had given the Gateway English II test, Gateway Algebra I test, and had TVAAS ACT composite grades. I also examined the influence that variables such as socioeconomic status, percentage of minority students, graduation rate, and per-pupil expenditure have on achievement. Before doing the first phase of this project, I set about to see if assumptions of normality were met. I then analyzed data to establish that certain home, student, and school variables affect achievement. After doing that, I was able to show a strong relationship between these 6 home, student, and school variables and achievement.
After establishing predictor variables, I examined the predictor variables and their relationship with the TVAAS ACT composite scores of Above, No Detectable Difference, and Below. These designations from the Tennessee Department of Education are "grades" for the schools and districts. The analyses indicated that, indeed, some of these home, student, and school variables such as socioeconomic status and percentage of minority students still have a relationship with the grades, despite the claim that TVAAS measures teacher effectiveness almost exclusively.
This study concluded with recommendations that further modifications need to be done with the TVAAS grades on ACT composite scores. The conclusions in this dissertation merit consideration from Dr. William Sanders as well as the assessment division of the Tennessee Department of Education.

With an overwhelming number of students attempting to enter college after high school, the competitive nature of college admissions continues to grow. Colleges and universities are attempting to find the appropriate means to adequately predict collegiate success. Common methods of this prediction have come from a variety of sources most of which are the use of high school performance and standardized college admissions testing. Walters State Community College was chosen for this study because of its open door admission policy that allows for variability in high school academic paths as well as grade point averages and ACT scores students earned in high school.
The purpose of this study was to examine the associations between high school grade point averages, high school academic paths, ACT scores, and 1st-year college success as measured by the number of college credit hours completed and college grade point averages at the end of the 1st semester and at the end of the 1st academic year. The study included 797 high school students entering the college in fall semester 2007 and completing their 1st academic year in spring semester 2008.
The major findings of this study included: university Path students were (a) more likely to have a higher high school grade point average, (b) more likely to have a higher college grade point average and have earned more college credit hours at the end of the 1st semester and year, and (c) were less likely to enroll in remedial and developmental courses. Additionally, a moderate positive relationship was found between high school grade point averages and college grade point averages at the end of the college academic year. High school grade point averages and ACT scores were found to be statistically significant in predicting the number of college credit hours earned at the end of the college academic year.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
This thesis draws on David Harvey’s concept of “accumulation by dispossession” and an international political economy (IPE) approach centred on the institutional arrangements and power structures that privilege certain actors and values, in order to critique current capitalist practices of primitive accumulation by the global corporate extractive industry. The thesis examines how accumulation by dispossession by the global extractive industry is facilitated by the “free entry” or “free mining” principle. It does so by focusing on Canada as a leader in the global extractive industry and the spread of this country’s mining laws to other countries – in other words, the transnationalisation of norms in the global extractive industry – so as to maintain a consistent and familiar operating environment for Canadian extractive companies. The transnationalisation of norms is further promoted by key international institutions such as the World Bank, which is also the world’s largest development lender and also plays a key role in shaping the regulations that govern natural resource extraction. The thesis briefly investigates some Canadian examples of resource extraction projects, in order to demonstrate the weaknesses of Canadian mining laws, particularly the lack of protection of landowners’ rights under the free entry system and the subsequent need for “free, prior and informed consent” (FPIC). The thesis also considers some of the challenges to the adoption and implementation of the right to FPIC. These challenges include embedded institutional structures like the free entry mining system, international political economy (IPE) as shaped by international institutions and powerful corporations, as well as concerns regarding ‘local’ power structures or the legitimacy of representatives of communities affected by extractive projects. The thesis concludes that in order for Canada to be truly recognized as a leader in the global extractive industry, it must establish legal norms domestically to ensure that Canadian mining companies and residents can be held accountable when there is evidence of environmental and/or human rights violations associated with the activities of Canadian mining companies abroad. The thesis also concludes that Canada needs to address underlying structural issues such as the free entry mining system and implement FPIC, in order to curb “accumulation by dispossession” by the extractive industry, both domestically and abroad.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
Background. The mounting burden of chronic disease associated with population ageing creates a challenge for health systems. Healthcare organisations are addressing this challenge by exploring new ways to improve patient health outcomes, including through the use of information technologies.
Aim. This research aimed to identify key design features of a chronic disease management (CDM) register for the public sector health services provided in the Australian Capital Territory.
Methods and setting. ACT Health, a government agency, is the largest health service provider in the ACT. An organisational analysis of ACT Health was conducted using qualitative, quantitative, and participant observation methods. Three index conditions- Chronic Heart Failure, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, and Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 defined information according to the 'International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Health Related Problems: lOth Revision, Australian Modification' (ICD-10-AM) were chosen for data collection and analysis.
Results. ACT Health policies support evidence-based CDM interventions, but their implementation has been slow and disjointed. This research found that support for CDM in ACT Health is within the 'basic support' range as measured by the MacColl Institute's Assessment of Chronic Illness Care (ACIC) survey. The survey revealed continuity of care as a concern. On the positive side, factor analysis of the survey results identified a novel 'patient empowerment' factor that was strength within ACT Health. This patient empowerment factor is somewhat more than a concept; it is one of the powerful predictors of positive outcomes for CDM interventions, and has policy importance in this particular regional health system for working toward CDM goals.
In the participant observation aspect of this research, these findings were taken up to enrich the design features for an effective CDM register by incorporating the views of health professionals, patients and their carers. This research identified five data categories and associated variables required to support a CDM register. These five data categories are patient details, medical details, provider details, prevention details, and case coordination details. The prevention detail category is the centre of a CDM register intervention and consists of diagnostic, therapeutic and behavioural sub-categories. However, the research identified challenges regarding availability and completeness of these data in all five categories. Combining the survey and participant observation suggests that electronically incorporating standardised clinical information into a CDM register should enhance multidisciplinary communication, care planning and coordinated service delivery. A clinical data repository with data extraction and filtration systems compliant with the Health Level Seven International (HL7) metadata standard would enable the organisation to populate a CDM register's data fields from multiple sources.
Conclusion. A health service specific CDM register based on established data standards can actively support effective CDM interventions within the service. Further expansion toward a population-based CDM register would depend on implementation of local and national e-Health initiatives to standardise clinical information for automatic extraction into CDM registers. The research provides policy and design recommendations to further strengthen chronic care processes to benefit patients with chronic diseases, their carers and health service providers.

The objectivity of science is sometimes characterized by an overly idealistic picture, and the claim of its “objective professionalism” is only nominal and subordinate to political demands. The decision making process of Taiwan’s Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) paints a picture of how the Government uses the seal of “science” and the popular branding of professional procedure without having actual knowledge and expertise to evaluate environmental risks. During the 1980s, a grassroots environmental protest movement swept through Taiwan and with the combined effects of many Parliament members and environmental lobbyists, the EIA was finally enacted. As the democratic process in Taiwan matured, the enacted EIA also became more professional and powerful, as preferred by environmentalists, to meet the proclaimed standard of “science and objectivity” as politics lurked in the disguise of objectivity. EIA regulations strengthened the tendency to blur of the distinction between science and politics. In contrast to EIA legislation in the United States, that sets out only procedural requirements, Taiwanese legislators intended to empower the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to veto ecologically unsound projects, and strengthened its accountability by creating an independent special commission to undertake the EIA examination. The special commissioners, nominated by the academy and civil society, can even reject the development plans proposed by the Executive Yuan, the highest level of executive branch according to its Constitution. However, even with the creation of the special commission, this empirical research found that EIAs conducted in the past fourteen years have not been accountable. More than 87 % of the developments plans passed the Taiwanese EPA’s review without raising any serious environmental concern, including the Su-Hua Highway, which passes through 17 ecologically sensitive areas, 11 faults, a national park and several important habitats for endangered species. By conducting surveys and in-depth interviews with the EIA commissioners, some commissioners reported they usually underwent political pressure during their evaluation and this research also found that certain language was used to describe of adverse environmental impacts so that the environmental assessment documents avoided provoking any tangible response. By Su-Hua Highway case study, my research also showed that while commissioners do acknowledge potentially adverse environmental effects of development projects, they do not have enough competence to question the developer’s assessment without participation from society at large. What’s more, political intervention is not avoidable for such a sensitive case, the authority can adopt new administrative orders and manipulate the “Rules of Order” during the decision making process to pursue their preferred outcome. The conclusion of this research provides several suggestions to improve the EIA including to increase the credibility of environmental assessment reports, enhance the capabilities and resources of commissioners, enlarge the public participation, and empower the judicial power to balance the inappropriate decision making.

There are several judgements which break up the Economic as the first priority in Taiwan Environmental Impact Assessment Act (EIAA) after the “Houli Science Park of Central Taiwan Science Park (CTSP)” and “Meilwan resort development plan”. But it’s not getting better now, these judgements result in the other dilemma. Why? It’s quite obvious that the Developer’s attitude is the most important key issues when you are involved in the EIA procedure. However, the Article 14 of Environmental Impact Assessment Act (Article 14) is still the core of these controversies. The research is to study the Veto function on EIAA. It collects the procedure information of National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and EIAA, and analyzes the system of NEPA and EIAA. It’s very clear that EIAA is more concerned with Environmental protection because of the veto function, and it causes the controversies. In Permission of Development (PD) controversies, the study disagrees the the point of view that the scope of PD in Article 14 should be limited to only one authority that forwarding the EIA documents to the central competent authority, because the improper interpretation can nullify the Article 14. It shall be recognized by the legislative purpose that all the PD required by the law to be granted after the procedure of EIA. In Conclusions of EIA review committee (Conclusions) controversies, since Conclusions is a Verwaltungsakt, will PD be void when the courts revoke the conclusion? The study finding that the “before in Article 14 “is refer to the result that EIA procedure is strongly indispensable to the PD procedure. In reliance interest (RI) controversies, the study finding the RI had considered in Article 14, so it won’t considered again. As above, there are system issues. In practicing issues, the central industry competent authority always states the development policy without environmental protection, but the conclusions are made by central competent authority. The study finding that it can nullify the EIAA when developers attempt to avoid the EIA procedure by dividing the development site, or by stage development. So it is recommended that all of us think about repealing the veto function, and the EIAA procedure returned to the NEPA procedure. Let the central competent authority be the consultant to provide the professional environmental protection opinions, and the central industry competent authority be a decision maker to consolidate the policy.

Taiwan had deployed a policy of economic development and achieved excellent results. However, the strong economic development neglects environmental protection against pollution and other negative impacts. In order to balance economic development and environmental protection, the legislators introduced the Environmental Impact Assessment Act (EIA Act) from the United States to Taiwan on December 30, 1994. Unfortunately, the EIA Act has not solved the problems between economic and environment but created a lot of disputes. First, the whole process asymmetrically relies on the review of Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) but immunes the Central Competent Authorities for Business Objectives from EIA. Therefore, the EPA takes undue burdens while competent authorities can relief their responsibility. Second, developers usually abuse the EIA process. The same controversy does not happen in the United States since the EIA possess no veto power there. Instead, during the whole policy-making process, federal agencies must assess the environmental impacts. Different from Taiwan, all federal agencies have political responsibility for the policy, not only EPA. In the cases of Jen-Nan and Guan-Tang, there are two main reasons why the EIA is not implemented successfully in Taiwan. One is the uncertainty of the Environmental Assessment (EA), and the other is the lack of public participation. There was even a situation in which employees of developers substituted residents in public hearings. All these problems contribute to the failure of the EIA system. This article argues that Taiwan should amend the EIA Act by referring to the EIA system in the United States. Returning the review power to the National Competent Authorities for Business Objectives incrementally to alleviate the government’s intervention and various disputes.

Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) is a measure to produce regulation and construct legal environment. The aim is to improve quality of regulation through assessing potential impacts of regulatory costs and benefits of a new regulation. RIA reveals costs and benefits to affected parties, collect feedbacks, and make decisions upon the most appropriated means or regulation. This paper examines the development of RIA, and introduces Policy Evaluation System in Japan to serve as a reference for legal operation of RIA. Chapter 2 presents the background information of regulatory impact assessment introduced in administrative law, and contextualizes historical development of regulatory impact assessment system in regulatory countries. It attempts to situate RIA in legal system of Taiwan. Chapter 3 discusses the significance and methods of policy evaluation system under the framework of new public management to pave the way for introducing Policy Evaluation System in Japan. Chapter 4 introduces the Policy Evaluation System in Japan which is a product of new public management theory, and is subject to governmental reorganization and transparency of governmental policy. However, these parts are beyond the scope of this study, which focuses on the evaluation system before introducing a new policy and its complementary measures of regulatory impact assessment. Chapter 5 presents interviews with legal personnel in Taipei City Council to further understand actual practices of RIA as Taipei City Council is outstanding in its implementation. Chapters 6 and 7 offer suggestions on implementation of RIA in Taiwan from the lessons of OECD countries and Policy Evaluation System in Taiwan.

The aims of Environment Impact Assessment(EIA) is to prevent and reduce the hostile developments to environment, which are resulted by land use attitude of human, in order to achieve the goal of environment protection. In other words, the EIA is focus on advance prevention unnecessary or imbalanced environmental destruction, rather than after remedy for environmental destruction caused by the human being. However, EIA Act in Taiwan run to now, there are still many problems cause the follow-up of event’s constant disputing, Taitung County&;#39;s Miramar Resort development project is an example , which even had a clear judgment to revoked conclusion of EIA , but the case in the follow-up still have situations of construction and operation after the judgment, it has brought about dispute with EIA’s effect , which is currently the most controversial issue in EIA system ─ Article 14 of the EIA Act in Taiwan involved in the legal relationship between EIA and development permission. By different territory’s discussion, in fact, the relationship between EIA and development permission is multi-leveled administrative procedure, that is development behavior should be implemented EIA, the final permit development or not must depend on competent authority of the EIA made conclusion. Another Article 14 of the EIA Act in Taiwan also has applied to the situation of EIA conclusion revoked by judge, and its revoked is confirmed, the original permission’s effect according to the provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act, when lawless administrative disposition is revoked, it’s retroactive and the effect has lapse. So, controversial issue of EIA in this case get back to Article 14 of the EIA Act, originally issued permission should be void.

Objectives: The aims of this study were to explore the meaning and scope of and amendments to the Occupational（Labor）Safety and Health Act, and to identify issues of concern. While we also addressing the relativities between industries and risks. Methods: We utilized literature review, content analysis and historical research to review the evolution of regulations and classifications of the industrial standards of safety and health. Time series analysis and matching were also used to evaluate the generalization, reasons for, scope and direction of amendments. This study also used the analytical method to compare the applied scope of the Labor Standards Law. Results: The scope of the laws that have been applied in Taiwan can be divided into 4 periods, known as the "the 4-stage application scope". The first phase was the initial period of implementation of the law, which was applied to only 5 major industries. The second phase was the expansion of the Act to include 14 types of industries. The third phase was reformation of the law by removing specific provisions for standard classifications applicable to industries, and removing links between standard classification and the scope of the law applicable to them. The fourth phase was the stage of maturity of the Act, and expanded the scope from the original 14 industries to "applicable to all industries". Conclusions: Progress from the Labor Safety and Health Act for 5 major industries to the Occupational Safety and Health Act for all industries has been significant. The evolution of the Act has been a reflection not only of specific responses to the International Convention for "safe and healthy working conditions for all", but also symbolizes our determination to link our occupational safety and health standards to other countries. In the future, the new law may require additional modification in order to establish new benchmarks for occupational safety and health in Taiwan. The article 4h proviso of the new law must be specially discrete in the operation, avoids its kindness encountering willfully is built on stilts because of this exception clause.

Self-employed persons has been regulated in new revised Occupational Safety and Health Act. Most jobs of tea farmers include tea collecting, manufacturing, use of farming equipment or occasionally spraying pesticides and weeding. Lack of occupational health and safety knowledge in tea industry has resulted in many incidents include cutting and human factors-related injuries. The purpose of this study is to explore the potential hazards in Tea industry, the effect of newly revised regulations on Tea industry, awareness of occupational safety and health, and provide key strategy of injury prevention in tea industry. The results show that, besides traffic accidents, the work hazards of tea farmers include falls, cutting injury and human factors-related hazards. The results of safety and health awareness survey include (1) regarding safety regulation cognition of different education level, the University was significantly higher than that of the high schools. (2) regarding workplace safety cognition of different education level, high school was significantly higher than that of the University. (3) regarding safety regulation cognition of different area of residence, Lugu farmers were significantly higher than that of Min-jan. (4) regarding the effectiveness of education and training, Lugu farmers were significantly higher than that of Min-jan. (5) regression analysis showed that the safety regulations, workplace safety, education and training and industry trends are very important for the safety and health awareness. As the tea farmers are mostly self-employed, as a matter of fact, more effort should be made in their safety and health education/training. Trade union activities such as hiking are recommended to promote the safety and health advocacy and safety/health-related knowledge of tea farmers. Or utilize the health of safety and health counseling through the " Plan of improving work safety service" provided by the Ministry of Labor Occupational Safety to improve the safety and health facilities and equipment, and advocacy related to Occupational Safety and Health Acts and regulations to reduce the occupational incidents in tea industry.
