Full textEste artigo tem como objetivo analisar como os retornos dos Green Funds se comparam aos retornos dos fundos convencionais entre os anos de 2005 e 2020 para os países da União Europeia. Além disso, testamos como o desempenho dos fundos verdes se correlacionam com o Business Cycle, subdividindo a análise entre períodos de expansão e recessão. As descobertas deste artigo são resumidas da seguinte forma: Nossos resultados demonstram fundos verdes e convencionais exibindo retornos negativos em relação ao World Market fator para os modelos de fator único e multifatorial. Para o European Market fator benchmark, encontramos fundos verdes apresentando desempenho positivo para ambos os modelos, e fundos convencionais apresentando uma performance negativa para o modelo CAPM e resultados positivos para o modelo multifactor. Os resultados dos fatores para fundos verdes indicam uma carga negativa em Momentum, HML e SMB, revelando uma maior exposição a empresas grandes e de valor. A análise por Business Cycle exibe fundos verdes proporcionando maiores retornos ajustados ao risco para os investidores durante os períodos de crise e resultados mistos para os períodos sem crise.
This paper aims to analyze how the risk-adjusted returns of green funds are compared to the risk-adjusted returns of conventional funds between the years 2005 and 2020 for the European Union countries. Additionally, we have tested how the performance of green funds correlates to the business cycle, subdividing their performance through expansionary and recessionary times. The findings of this paper are summarized as follows: Our regression results demonstrate green and conventional funds exhibiting negative abnormal adjusted-returns against the developed world market benchmark for the single-factor and multifactor models. For the European market benchmark, we find environmental mutual funds presenting a positive performance for both models and conventional funds displaying negative results for the single-factor model and positive results for the multifactor model. The factor loadings findings for green funds indicate a negative load on Momentum, HML and SMB, revealing a higher exposure to big and value companies. Subsampling per business cycle exhibits green mutual funds providing higher risk-adjusted returns to investors during crisis periods and mixed results for the non-crisis periods.

Full texts dominant discourse of economics, has been highly debated in the last decades. The main objective of this thesis is to investigate this relationship via comparing four countries&rsquo
development experiences
Argentina, China, Turkey and Poland, in between 1965-2005. In addition to that purpose, this thesis aims to analyze whether the experiences of the countries are unique or they display strong similarities with each other
and moreover to assess whether countries that follow the dominant development discourse are more successful than those that diverge from it. Development is defined on the basis of twenty-one indicators which consist of both purely quantitative ones and also others that possess qualitative elements. The comparison was concluded with the results that there was not a universal development path followed by the four countries
neo-liberal transition and reforms in the four countries have in fact brought about changes in some indicators and finally China has been performing better than the other countries by means of a number of indicators, as a country which has relatively been outside the dominant development trend in the world

Full textComplex government bureaus and their managers struggling to adapt to major changes find they are faced with alternative frameworks to improve organizational performance. Six major frameworks emerging in the U.S. since 1980, applicable to the public sector, and designed to enhance organizational change toward improved performance are reviewed and analyzed: Total Quality; 'Excellence;' Reinvention, including the National Performance Review; the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993; the Baldrige Award; and Reengineering. The purpose of the thesis is to provide guidelines to assist public managers in organizational change toward improved performance by analyzing the frameworks based on four criteria: workable in a political, pluralistic environment; realistic given constraints; comprehensive from a systems perspective; and capable of providing explicit measures of organizational performance

Full textO presente trabalho pretende analisar a performance dos fundos de pensão brasileiros em comparação com os planos geradores de benefícios livres (PGBLs). Para tal, é preciso identificar e descrever suas características e as metodologias de avaliação de sua performance. No referencial teórico, descreve-se a evolução dos fundos de pensão no Brasil e seu cenário atual, destacando-se a legislação sobre seus investimentos. A pesquisa avalia a performance a partir da análise dos retornos, utilizando o teste não paramétrico de Kruskal-Wallis, e dos retornos ajustados ao risco, através da comparação de fundos pelos seus índices de Sharpe amostrais. Por fim, é analisada a persistência dos retornos ajustados ao risco para duas janelas de tempo a partir do coeficiente de correlação de Spearman. Com este estudo, pretende-se identificar se os resultados apresentados pelos fundos de pensão ao longo do tempo tem sido persistentes e se estes são diferentes dos apresentados pelos PGBLs.
The present work intends to analyze Brazilian pension funds in comparison with free benefits generating plans (PGBLs). To do so, it is necessary to identify and describe their characteristics and their performance evaluation methodologies. In the theoretical framework, it is described pension funds evolution and their present scenario, highlighting their investment legislation. The research evaluates performance from the return analysis, using Kruskal-Wallis non-parametric test, and risk-adjusted return analysis, using a comparison of funds Sharpes index. Finally, persistence of risk-adjusted return is analyzed for two time periods, using Spearmans correlation coefficient. This study intends to identify if the results obtained by pension funds analysis have been persistent through time and if they are different from the PGBLs results.

Full textEsta dissertação tem como objetivo comparar os índices de desempenho de média-variância com os critérios de dominância estocástica de primeira, segunda e terceira ordens para fundos de gerenciamento ativo presentes no mercado brasileiro. Foram analisados 84 fundos de ações entre maio de 1999 e abril de 2001. Para o cálculo da dominância estocástica foi criada uma função em Matlab que, a partir dos retornos dos fundos, compara-os entre si e retorna quais os fundos mais dominantes em relação aos outros. O que se concluiu é que os indivíduos que selecionam seus investimentos com base somente nos índices de média-variância podem tomar decisões que contrariam seus critérios de aversão ao risco e de aversão crescente ao risco. Igualmente, o desempenho de fundos de investimento medido apenas através dos critérios de dominância estocástica não significará necessariamente um maior excesso de retorno com relação ao risco corrido. Para se tomar uma decisão de investimento bem estruturada, o investidor deve considerar todos os momentos da distribuição dos retornos e realizar uma análise tanto por média-variância quanto por dominância estocástica.
The scope of this dissertation is the comparison between the meanvariance based performance measurers of active management Brazilian-based stock funds and stochastic dominance of first, second and third orders criteria. 84 funds were considered and the period studied goes from May 1999 to April 2001. For the stochastic dominance calculus a Matlab function was created so that, with the funds returns as inputs, it gives the most dominating funds in relation to the others. The conclusion of this study is that individuals that chose investments taking account solely mean-variance measurers can make decisions that goes against their criteria of risk aversion and absolute decreasing risk aversion. In the same way, investments funds performance measured only by stochastic dominance criteria will not lead necessarily to a highest reward-to- risk ratio. Regarding a well structured investment decision, investors should consider all moments of the distribution of returns and perform not only a mean- variance but also a stochastic dominance analysis.

Full textArnold van Wyk was a composer and a pianist. He recorded his largest work for piano, Night Music (1958), on LP in 1963. Steven de Groote performed Night Music on 21 July 1984 at the Cheltenham International Festival of Music. This live performance was broadcast on BBC Radio 3 on 24 September 1984 and a copy of this broadcast exists in the Arnold van Wyk collection in the J.S. Gericke Library at Stellenbosch University. Night Music is a perfect example of Van Wyk’s compositional techniques for the keyboard. It demands a considerable musical imagination and piano technique from the performer. The score of Night Music contains many detailed instructions regarding the different musical parameters and it also encloses unusual terms such as glacial or lugubre. It shows that the composer is extremely concerned to control all aspects of the performance and expects great depth of interpretation of the performer. Analysing the score of Night Music together with a performance by the composer enables one to consider two versions of “authenticated text”. The comparison between Arnold van Wyk’s recording, score and Steven de Groote’s performance allows the researcher to draw conclusions about score fidelity as a condition for “authenticity” in performance. Therefore, the primary aim of this research project is to yield interesting perspectives on notions of authenticity in performance with regard to these two particular performances of Night Music. The main body of this thesis consists of four chapters. In Chapter One a philosophical discussion about authenticity in performance is presented. Chapter Two focuses on the contextualisation of the work under discussion, including the reception and a short analysis of Night Music. It is followed by Chapter Three which compares the pianism of Arnold van Wyk and Steven de Groote. These latter two chapters form the background of the comparative performance analysis of the renditions of Night Music by these two performers which are presented in Chapter Four. Through the careful comparative analysis of Arnold van Wyk’s and Steven de Groote’s performances of Night Music it was possible to observe that a composer can present a version of his work that departs quite radically from the score. As “authenticity in performance” strives to honour the composer’s intentions as notated in the score, this discrepancy illustrates the controversial nature of the discourse on the “authentic” in music.

Full textTiivistelmä Tässä väitöskirjatyössä tarkastellaan tietoliikennejärjestelmän suunnitteluun liittyvää osa-aluetta modulaatiomenetelmä. Modulaatio ja sen vastinpari demodulaatio ovat mekanismit, joiden avulla siirrettävä tieto saatetaan muotoon, jolla se voidaan siirtää radiokanavassa. mMFSK ja amMFSK modulaatiomenetelmien kehittäminen loi pohjan, jota lähdettiin soveltamaan myös muihin modulaatiotekniikoihin. Suoritetut matemaattiset analyysit osoittavat, että samalle modulaatioaakkoston koolle mMCSK (käyttäen Walsh-koodeja) ja mMFSK saavuttavat saman suorituskyvyn olettaen modulaatioiden olevan ortogonaalisia. CSK-tekniikalla on kuitenkin helppo rakentaa koodeja, jotka ovat epäortogonaalisia. Väitöskirjassa analysoidaan myös muutamia tapauksia epaortogonaaliselle mMCSK:lle, jossa esimerkinomaisesti tarkastellaan Gold- ja Kasami-koodien käyttöä. Tulokset osoittavat, että epäkoherentille mMCSK:lle paras valinta koodiperheeksi on ortogonaalinen koodiperhe, joka tuloksena on myös intuitiivinen. Koherentille mMCSK:lle voidaan kuitenkin rakentaa epäortogonaalisia koodikonstruktioita, joissa koodien välinen ristikorrelaatio on negatiivinen ja tällöin saavutetaan suorituskyvyn parantumista ortogonaaliseen koodiperheeseen verattuna. Tulokset Gold- ja Kasami-koodeille AWGN-kanavassa osoittavat, että n. 0.5 dB suorituskyvyn paraneminen on saavutettavissa. Työssä johdetaan myös analyyttiset tulokset vastaaville tapauksille Rayleigh-häipyvässä kanavassa. Tutkittaessa mMCSK- ja mMFSK-modulaatioita, huomattiin, että yhdistämällä nämä kaksi voidaan saavuttaa erittäin suuria modulaatioaakkostoja. Hintana on suurempi spektrin käyttö. mMCSK-mMFSK-modulaation kehittämistä voidaan pitää tämän työn päätuloksena. Työssä kehitetään likimääräinen menetelmä tämän kaksi-komponenttisen modulaation suorituskyvyn analysoimiseksi. Tuloksina esitetään modulaatiomenetelmän suorituskyky sekä AWGN- että Rayleigh-häipyvässä kanavassa. Suorituskykytuloksia esitetään myös epäortogonaalisille koodikonstruktioille. Lisäksi kehitettiin antipodaalinen laajennus mMCSK-mMFSK-modulaatiosta ja suoritettiin suorituskykyanalyysi AWGN-kanavassa. Työn kolmantena tuloksena esitetään mPPM-modulaatiomenetelmä hyödyntäen mMCSK-modulaation periaatteita. mMCSK-suorituskykyanalyysia voidaan tietyin ehdoin soveltaa myös näihin modulaatiomenetelmiin, joiden käyttöä esitetään usein ultralaajakaistajärjestelmissä (UWB). UWB-järjestelmissä datanopeutta säädetään usein pulssin toistoa käyttämällä. Työssä johdetaan suorityskykytulokset epäkoherentille mPPM-vastaanottimelle myös pulssintoiston yhteydessä. Lisäksi johdettiin suorituskykylausekkeet ko. modulaatioille impulsiivisen häiriön läsnäollessa

Cada vez mais é dada atenção à capacidade que uma organização tem de reter os seus clientes e manter a sua lealdade, mesmo em situações perniciosas. Isto deve-se em muito às atitudes e comportamentos dos colaboradores. Este trabalho pretende perceber que fatores ou combinação de fatores contribuem para a recuperação de um serviço onde ocorreu uma falha. Os dados foram recolhidos através de um questionário online, enviado por email, realizado aos colaboradores da organização. A análise dos dados foi feita recorrendo à Análise Qualitativa Comparativa. Os resultados revelaram que as combinações de condições equifinais que originam comportamentos do tipo adaptativo são semelhantes às combinações que levam a comportamentos proativos por parte dos colaboradores e que o compromisso com a organização é condição quase sempre necessária para que se verifique um bom nível de recuperação do serviço, através de comportamentos adaptativos ou proativos. Concluiu-se também que existem cinco combinações de condições que levam a comportamentos proativos de recuperação do serviço e cinco combinações que conduzem a comportamentos adaptativos, quatro das quais iguais às que levam a comportamentos proativos.
The literature stands out, with special attention to frontoffice, several organizational factors that influence employees behavior in an organization, like teamwork, empowerment of employees, their training or the commitment that they have to the organization. More and more attention is given to the capacity that an organization has to retain its clients and maintain their loyalty, even when situations go wrong. This is due to the attitudes and behaviors of employees. This work intends to understand which factors or combination of factors contribute to the recovery of a service where a failure occurred. Data were collected through an online questionnaire, sent by email, made to the organization's employees. Data analysis was done using the Qualitative Comparative Analysis. The results revealed that equifinal combinations of conditions that origin behavior of the adaptive type are similar to combinations that lead to proactive behaviors by employees and that commitment to the organization is an almost always necessary condition to ensure a good level of service recovery through adaptive and proactive behavior. It was also concluded that there are five combinations of conditions that lead to proactive behaviors of service recovery and five combinations that lead to adaptive behavior. Four of the last ones are the same that lead to proactive behaviors.

Full textA presente dissertação pretende abordar os aspectos empíricos da atuação do Tribunal de Contas da União (TCU) no Brasil desde o início da vigência da Constituição de 1988 até 2010. Para tanto, o trabalho se inicia com uma abordagem teórica sobre a prestação de contas estatais, representada por meio do fenômeno da accountability, sendo utilizada a análise realizada por diversos cientistas políticos, notadamente no contexto latino americano. Em um segundo momento, passa-se ao estudo da figura dos Tribunais de Contas, sintetizando as características de alguns modelos base de órgãos de controle externo existentes em outros países, discorrendo-se, posteriormente, sobre breves aspectos históricos do TCU – com ênfase para os debates da Constituinte de 87-88 -, desembocando nos aspectos normativos e institucionais da Corte de Contas no Brasil. Por fim, o trabalho revela as reais feições da atuação do TCU, demonstradas por meio da comparação jurídica sucessiva interna, realizada sob dois principais aspectos norteadores referentes ao Tribunal (a apreciação anual das contas prestadas pelo Presidente da República e o exercício de algumas atividades ordinárias do TCU, tais como fiscalizações, recebimento de denúncias, cobrança executiva, dentre outras), recobrindo o período de 1989 a 2010.
This essay intends to cover the empirical aspects of the performance of the Federal Audit Court (Tribunal de Contas da União - TCU) since the beginning of the Constitution of 1988 to 2010. To this end, the work begins with a theoretical approach on the state accountability, represented by the accountability phenomenon, analyzed by several political scientists, especially in the context of Latin America. In a second moment, we pass to the study of the figure of the Audit Courts, summarizing the characteristics of some base models of external control agencies in other countries, writing, after that, about brief historical aspects of TCU - with emphasis on the debates of the 87-88 Constituent - and culminating in the regulatory and institutional aspects of the Federal Audit Court in Brazil. Finally, the work reveals the real features of the action of TCU, demonstrated by the legal successive internal comparison, carried out under two main guiding aspects related to the Court (the annual review of accounts rendered by the President and the exercise of some ordinary activities of TCU, such as inspections, receiving complaints, executive lawsuits, among others), covering the period from 1989 to 2010.

Full textIntroduction: Sustained attention is known to be dysfunctional in psychotic disorders. Sustained attention is the ability to remain focused on a specific time-locked stimulus within a task. We aimed to determine whether there are specific group differences between CON and three psychotic disorders: SCZ, MPD and BPD, then to determine differences between these psychotic disorders. This included differences in behavioural performance and prominent electrophysiological event-related potential (ERP) wave components during cueing and target processing of a visual sustained attention task. Further we aimed to characterize ERP waveform component relationships across and within these groups for demographics, substance use, behavioural performance, and clinical variables, the last limited to the psychotic groups. Lastly, we investigated the effects of prescribed medications on ERP wave components within the psychotic groups. Methodology: 103 participants (29 schizophrenia (SCZ), 28 bipolar disorder with a history of psychosis (BPD), 21 methamphetamine-induced psychotic disorder (MPD), and 30 controls (CON)) underwent electroencephalography (EEG) record while completing a visual continuous performance task. Participants were presented with 60 trials with three consecutive S’s, the presentation of the third S required a behavioural response. Prominent ERP waveform components were extracted from cues and target stimulus.
