Abstract:
Syftet med den här studien är att beskriva och analysera hur några lärare i grundsärskolan använder iPads i sin undervisning och vilket synsätt de har när det gäller att använda iPads i sin undervisning. Vi har använt oss av en kvalitativ metod för att få svar på våra frågeställningar. Studien bygger på nio observationer och intervjuer. Vi har analyserat resultatet utifrån det sociokulturella perspektivet Det sociokulturella perspektivet bygger på Vygotskijs utvecklingsteori att lärande sker tillsammans med andra. Det sammantagna resultatet visar att lärare i grundsärskolan använder sig utav iPads i sin undervisning. Lärare i grundsärskolan har en positiv inställning till användning av iPads i sin undervisning men lärare behöver mer kunskap för att utveckla sitt arbete med att arbeta med iPads i sin undervisning.

Syftet med detta arbete är att få kunskap om hur pedagoger i förskoleklass samt årskurserna 1-3 som har tillgång till iPads i sin matematikundervisning ser på användandet av dessa. Hur resonerar pedagoger när de använder iPadsen och finns det en tanke bakom hur iPadsen används när det gäller matematiska mål i Lgr 11? Metoden som användes för att få svar på frågeställningarna var dels en enkätundersökning för att nå ut till många pedagoger och därefter fördjupande intervjuer som baserade på enkätfrågornas resultat.

Abstract:
Vår ambition är att i och med detta utvecklingsarbete starta upp en kvalitativ undervisning med iPads som pedagogiskt verktyg. Utvecklingsarbetet syftar till att introducera undervisning med iPads som läromedel i en fritidsverksamhet där denna typen av undervisning saknats. Målet är att erbjuda eleverna på fritidshemmet ett lustfyllt arbetssätt med nya/ roliga aktiviteter med iPad som ett pedagogiskt verktyg. Vi vill utmana eleverns skapandeförmåga och kreativitet samtidigt som vi ger eleverna möjligheten att utveckla teknisk och social kompetens där digitala redskap blir det centrala innehållet. Utgångspunkten för vårt utvecklingsarbete är en nulägesanalys som gjordes tilsammans med pedagoger vid fritidshemmet,  där vi även haft vår verksamhetsförlagda undervisning. Skolan hade investerat i ett antal iPads utan visioner om att använda sig av detta i fritidshemmet och vi såg då en möjlighet att implentera dessa även där. Detta gjorde att vi introducerade tre olika teman som vi valde att kalla filmskapande, lek/spel och uppdragsjakten. Under vår fem veckor långa vistelse på skolan planerade och genomförde vi utvecklingsarbetet i hopp om att kunna identifiera olika arbetssätt där iPaden bidrar till fritidshemmets måluppfyllelse. Vi dokumenterade under arbetets gång med loggbok och fältanteckningar samt fotografering. Övrig empiri är resultat av kvalitativa intervjuer med pedagoger, rektorer och elever. Resultatet av vårt utvecklingsarbete visar att elever motiveras att lägga mycket tid på aktiviteter som innefattar iPads. Fokus på det faktiska ämnesinnehållet minimeras och elever drivs av att avancera i exempelvis ett spel. Att iPads kan bidra till och stötta skapandeprocesser hos elever i fritidshemmets verksamhet visades tydligt då filmskapandet motiverade elever att använda sin fantasi och kreativitet för att skapa en stop motion film och ingen av filmerna liknade varandra. Eleverna gavs möjligheten till god teknisk kompetens då de ständigt navigerade mellan olika program på iPaden. Många av aktiviteterna genomfördes i grupp där eleverna fick träna social utveckling och gemenskap. Studien visar även att elever ser mycket positivt på användandet av iPads på fritidshemmet och de aktiviteter vi initierade tycks tendera att bryta vissa könsmönster.

Esta pesquisa está inserida no campo das Finanças Comportamentais, que foram influenciadas principalmente pela Teoria do Prospecto. Esta foi desenvolvida por Kahneman e Tversky (1979) e foi basicamente uma crítica à Teoria da Utilidade Esperada que supõe a perfeita racionalidade do tomador de decisão, fato que nem sempre corresponde ao comportamento normal das pessoas e investidores em particular. Foi testado o Efeito Disposição em empresas que realizaram IPO (Initial Public Offering) na Bovespa entre 1995 e 2008. Segundo o Efeito Disposição os investidores tendem a realizar os lucros (vendendo ativos que tiveram seus valores apreciados - winners) mais rapidamente do que os prejuízos (vendendo ativos que tiveram seus valores depreciados - losers). Esta afirmação tem como base a Teoria do Prospecto, já mencionada, que afirma que os investidores são avessos ao risco no campo dos ganhos e propensos ao risco no campo das perdas. Já o IPO representa a abertura de capital da empresa, sendo que, neste processo, todos os investidores partem de um mesmo preço de compra das ações. Esse fato tende a dar maior visibilidade ao Efeito Disposição levando em conta a quantidade de títulos negociados. Isto porque, com o preço de referência igual para todos os investidores, um eventual winner ou loser será observado igualmente nos investidores, conseqüentemente esses tendem a reter ou a vender as suas ações conforme sua posição, ou seja, no campo dos ganhos todos tendem a manter as ações em carteira, sendo o oposto no campo das perdas. A cada negócio ocorrido o preço de referência do investidor envolvido é alterado. Nesse mesmo sentido, também foi testada a intensidade do Efeito Disposição conforme o período após o IPO visto que, conforme o preço de referência dos investidores vai sendo alterado, a quantidade de títulos negociados fica cada vez menos influenciada pelo efeito. Foram utilizadas regressões, correlações e testes t paramétricos e não paramétricos para a confirmação das hipóteses de pesquisa. Os resultados evidenciaram que o Efeito Disposição é observado nos IPOs, sendo confirmada também a maior intensidade conforme a proximidade da data de abertura de capital. Através de testes complementares, também se concluiu que o mercado brasileiro apresenta características de comportamento similares as observadas por Kaustia (2004) nos Estados Unidos.

Abstract:
Det här arbetet utgick från att ta reda på möjligheterna, svårigheterna och utmaningarna gällande iPads som verktyg i matematikundervisningen. Det här gjordes genom en undersökning av tidigare forskning kombinerat med en kvalitativ undersökning bestående av intervjuer. Respondenterna till intervjuerna var tre lärare på mellanstadiet som arbetade med klassuppsättningar av iPads. Det resultat som framgick genom studien var att iPads ökar elevernas motivation och engagemang i matematikundervisningen. De bidrog också till en effektiviserad kommunikation mellan lärare och elever. Svårigheterna med iPads i klassrummen var lärarnas låga kunskaper om dem. Utmaningarna med iPads i undervisningen var att koppla användningen av dem till styrdokument och syfte i matematiken istället för nöjessammanhang.

Abstract:
In this study, we conducted an event study of 100 Brazilian IPO’s from 2004 to 2010 to detect if there was any significant abnormal returns after the expiration of the IPO lockup period, during which pre-IPO shareholders are prevented from selling their shares. We found no significant abnormal returns for all companies during all event dates examined, though we did detect significant negative abnormal returns around lockup for high- volatility firms. We also find that after the lockup expiration, there is a higher frequency of days with a higher-than-average trading volume.

Em uma oferta inicial de ações, uma das dificuldades dos investidores é avaliar que preço pagar pela ação lançada. Para diminuir tal dificuldade, a Comissão de Valores Imobiliários exige que as empresas emissoras apresentem demonstrativos financeiros dos últimos três anos de operações. Esta dissertação avalia a precisão desses demonstrativos financeiros, através de uma amostra de 67 emissões de ações na Bovespa entre 2002 e 2007. A análise dos dados mostra que as emissões com um único banco coordenador apresentam uma maior incidência de rubricas discriminatórias, que aumentam os lucros acumulados. Tais rubricas aparecem mais frequentemente em demonstrativos no formato pró-forma, que não impõem uma responsabilidade legal sobre os auditores, consistente com a hipótese de que as rubricas discricionárias têm por finalidade inflar os lucros contábeis.
Investors face the challenge to value the price of a share during na ipo. With the purpose of improving their ability, the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) demands companies to present financial statements for the last three years of continuing operations. This dissertation assesses the quality of these financial statements using a sample of 67 IPOs that took place at São Paulo Stock Exchange between 2002 and 2007. The analysis of the prospectuses gives us evidence that IPOs with only one investment bank on their syndicate present higher discretionary accruals and by consequence, reported earnings. The use of discretionary accruals is more common in pro forma financial statements which exempt auditing companies from legal responsibility and therefore enhance the hypothesis that discretionary accruals are used in order to inflate earnings.

Abstract:
This master thesis examines the effect of ex-ante uncertainty about the intrinsic value of US FinTech IPOs stock on the underpricing level. Baron (1982) Asymmetric information model and Beaty and Ritter (1986) the ex-ante uncertainty model were tested using regression analysis by selecting different proxies of ex-ante uncertainty (Firm Age and Market capitalization, IPO proceed and Number of uses of proceed, Venture backing and Underwriter reputation). The Data set consists of 62 US FinTech IPOs during the period from January, 2005 to July, 2017. The underpricing level of US FinTech IPOs was 20.46%. The market capitalization, venture backing and the number of uses of proceed were found to be significant in determining the level of underpricing. The thesis also concludes that Baron (1982) and Beaty and Ritter (1986) models don’t hold for the FinTech IPOs during the period from January, 2005 to July, 2017.

Abstract:
Sammanfattning Syftet med vår studie är att undersöka ”pedagogers förhållningssätt till iPads och hur de använder dessa i förskoleverksamheten”. Forskningsfrågorna som vi utgår från är ”hur beskriver pedagoger sitt eget förhållningssätt till iPads?” samt ”hur används iPads i förskoleverksamheten? ”Under vår studietid har vi upplevt den framfart som arbetet med digitala verktyg, främst iPads, haft. Genom erfarenheter och observationer som vi har gjort under vår VFU har vi kunnat identifiera att arbetet med iPads brister då många pedagoger på våra VFU-platser uttryckt att de saknar kompetens och därför prioriterar annat. Då den kommande revideringen av förskolans läroplan innehåller nya mål gällande bland annat digitala verktyg anser vi att det är relevant att undersöka detta område. För att kunna undersöka användning och förhållningssätt till iPads i förskolan valde vi att använda en kvalitativ metod i form av intervju med öppna frågor. Vi valde denna metod då vi ville få ett så brett helhetsperspektiv som möjligt samt för att pedagogerna skulle få möjlighet att svara med sina egna ord. Vår studie genomfördes på fyra olika förskolor i samma kommun, två av förskolorna var privata och två var kommunala. Det var sammanlagt 13 respondenter som medverkade varav fem var förskollärare, sex var barnskötare samt två var resurspersoner. Resultatet som vår studie gav oss kunde vi dela upp i olika teman. Dessa teman är: Hur iPads används, vilket förhållningssätt och vilken samsyn som finns i arbetslaget, det nya målet i förskolans läroplan samt hinder mot ett pedagogiskt arbete med iPads enligt respondenterna. Sammanfattningsvis visade resultatet att iPads används sparsamt på de flesta förskolor i vår undersökning. Svaren visar att respondenterna tror att detta beror på tidsbrist samt brist på resurser i form av tillgång till iPads. iPads användes mest av pedagogerna som deras arbetsverktyg där de dokumenterar, checkar in och ut barn, mejlar etc. och inte så mycket tillsammans med barnen. I de arbetslag som vi har undersökt fanns det nästan ingen samsyn men däremot upplevde sig vissa ha ett gemensamt förhållningssätt gällande arbetet med iPads. Nästan alla respondenter hade en medvetenhet om att det skulle bli ett nytt mål i läroplanen som handlar om digitala verktyg, men många var skeptiska till förändringen. Många respondenter beskrev även vissa hinder som de upplevde som problematiska för att kunna utföra sitt arbete på det sätt de önskat. Några av dessa hinder var tidsbrist, brist på resurser, stora barngrupper, dåligt stöd från chef samt brist på kompetensutveckling.

Huang, Ji. "Long-term performance of UK IPOs." Thesis, University of Birmingham, 2011. http://etheses.bham.ac.uk//id/eprint/1723/.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis investigates the long-term post-issue performance using a sample of 1,953 UK non-financial IPOs for the period of 1982-2004. Data is obtained from the LSPD. The main measure of performance includes buy-and-hold abnormal returns, cumulative abnormal returns, and calendar time regression intercepts. Our results indicate the mixed evidence on the long-term post-IPO stock performance. Event time analysis produce significant underperformance at five-year horizon while calendar time regression results show that IPOs perform as good as benchmarks. In conclusion, the relative long-term performance depends on the method and benchmark of examining performance. For example, most results based on BHAR measure suggest that the sample underperforms. Additionally, we assess the choice of data set on the conclusion of long-term post-IPO performance. We find that Datastream (DS) produces similar results as London Share Price Database (LSPD) if equal weight scheme is adopted. Additionally, there is insignificant discrepancy for the value weighted returns. Finally, the thesis reveals that two-stage IPOs do not underperform the benchmarks. Furthermore, two-stage IPOs have similar long-term performance compared to that of regular IPOs listed in AIM. Also, the underpricing for two-stage IPOs is less severe than regular IPOs.

Svou diplomovou práci jsem zaměřil na problematiku spojenou s primární emisí akcií. Práce je rozdělena do dvou částí, teoretické a analytické. První část zahrnuje obecné předpoklady pro primární emisi, výhody a nevýhody tohoto způsobu financování a proces primární emise akcií. Teoretickou část uzavírají dva specifické případy spojované s primární emisí akcií. Prvním je problém podcenění primární emise, druhým je pak časté zapojení fondů rizikového kapitálu do procesu IPO. Analytická část je zaměřena na tři středoevropské kapitálové trhy ? Česká republika, Maďarsko a Polsko. Je zde kladen důraz především na příčiny rozvinutosti jednotlivých trhů s primárními emisemi akcií. Poslední část této práce je věnována analýze primární emise akcií společnosti Zentiva. Dodatek pak shrnuje poslední vývoj trhu primárních emisí v České republice.

Abstract:
Syftet med denna studie är att ta reda på hur pedagoger arbetar språkutvecklande i förskolan, med IKT som verktyg. Fokus ligger på vilka föreställningar och erfarenheter som förskolepedagoger har av IKT kopplat till språkutvecklande arbete. För att få fram ett resultat av min undersökning valde jag att utföra kvalitativa intervjuer med mina informanter, då jag ville ge dem möjlighet att berätta sina åsikter och dela med sig av erfarenheter kring att arbeta med språket med IKT som hjälpmedel. En gemensam åsikt som alla informanter påpekade ett flertal gånger under intervjuerna var bristen på tid till att diskutera tillsammans i arbetslaget hur de skulle konkretisera arbetet med iPads i verksamheten. I resultatet framkom att det fanns en stor osäkerhet kring att arbeta språkutvecklande med IKT. De hade fått många utbildningstillfällen men de var förlagda utanför arbetstid. Dessutom var utbildningarna teoretiskt lagda och syftade inte till att ge pedagogerna redskap i hur iPads skulle användas tillsammans med barnen. Informanterna pratade även om betydelsen av lärarens närvaro, speciellt när barnen satt vid en dator eller en iPad. Att var en närvarande pedagog ansågs ha stor betydelse för huruvida den språkliga aktiviteten med iPads blev pedagogisk eller inte. Åsikterna kring på vilket sätt man som pedagog behövde vara aktiv med barnen för att uppfylla detta var blandade. Betydelsen av att vara en närvarande pedagog finns även med i den forskning som jag kommer att skriva om i detta examensarbete.

Full text
Abstract:
The purpose of this research is to study the effect of market conditions on the performance of IPOs which is relevant information for investors and companies alike, involved with IPOs. The long-term underperformance of IPOs has been previously discussed by Loughran & Ritter (1995) which has later been named as the “New Issuance Puzzle” of IPOs. This underperformance, however, has later been contradicted by research from Carter et al. (2011) who did not find long-term underperformance of IPOs. By studying the previous research of Helwege & Liang (2004), who examined IPO issuances under different hot and cold IPO periods, we found a research gap of what effect the market conditions have on the IPO issuance.   By analysing the performance under different time periods, we compare the results to an index benchmark with matching time periods of the IPO issuing companies under our full sample period. We can then analyse the performance of the IPOs compared to their respective benchmark. By adding an analysis of hot/cold and bull/bear market conditions under which the IPOs were conducted, we will observe the effect of IPO performance under different market conditions.   Our positivistic and ontological view guided our article and research process. We relied on a deductive approach in order to test our anticipated outcomes and hypotheses. Articles yielding substantive theories, based on the explanation of middle-range theories serve as the benchmark of our theoretical framework.   The research came to a conclusion where we did not observe underperformance of the IPOs in the long-term, which contradicts the “New Issuance Puzzle” of Loughran & Ritter (1995). We could observe underperformance (overperformance) of IPOs under hot (cold) period market conditions when we defined the hot and cold market periods in accordance with the number of IPO issuance during each year. In accordance to initial first month IPO returns, we observe overperformance (underperformance) of hot (cold) period IPOs. We also included bull and bear market conditions into our research, where we could find patterns that the number of issuance had the same distribution as the bull and bear market conditions currently consisting on the market. The index of OMXS30 had the same price movement as the number of issuance each year. Therefore the number of issuance each year could hypothetically be used as an indicator of the future market performance of the OMX Stockholm. We did not find statistical significance of abnormal returns on the IPO market under different market conditions

Abstract:
In the first essay we examine the effect of concurrent lending and underwriting on IPO withdrawal, we find that IPOs underwritten by the firms’ concurrent lending banks are significantly more likely to be withdrawn. The result is robust to controlling for the common factors that affect IPO withdrawal and also for endogeneity using a propensity score matching portfolio. Our evidence suggests a cost to IPO firms’ hiring concurrent lending banks as underwriters despite the potential benefit of informational scope economies such intermediaries may provide. It is consistent with an alternative argument that a current lending and underwriting bank has less incentive to help sell its client firms’ securities because of its lock-in of the firms’ subsequent borrowing needs even when it fails to sell the securities. In the second essay, we examine the investment decisions of second-time IPO firms after successfully going public. Our findings show that, contrary to first time IPOs, second-time IPOs are not active acquirers and spend significantly more on CAPEX and R&D than first-time IPOs. Unlike acquisitions in the post-IPO period, CAPEX and R&D spending benefit second-time IPOs’ long run performance.

The purpose of this study is to empirically analyze the main factors that determine the first-day return and the Flipping activity in Brazilian IPOs, taking into account expected results according to national and international researches. The data base encompasses IPOs that took place between May 2004 and February 2011, summing up to 129 IPOs and approximately R$ 128 billion offering. The first-day return, which means the ‘money left on the table’, was on average 4.6% taking into consideration the issue price, while the Flipping activity totalized R$ 7.2 billion, meaning 5.6% of the offering. The first-day return was analyzed before and after the first trade, and evidences were found supporting (a) the exogenous determination of the issue price, (b) the opening price dependence of prospectus disclosure and of other variables, observable previously to the bookbuilding process, and (c) the cascade behavior of investors in the pricing after the first trade, particularly driven by the underwriter behavior. In regards to the Flipping, it was notorious depending on how much the IPO succeeded, being concentrated in and homogeneous along the first-day, despite the intense negotiation in the first minute. As a general contribution to literature, it was concluded that Information Asymmetry Theory arguments are not sufficient to explain the first-day Underpricing and the Flipping, being necessary arguments based on Behavioral Finance adapted to an intraday perspective.
Este trabalho analisa empiricamente os fatores determinantes do retorno e do ‘Flipping’ no primeiro dia de negociação em IPOs no Brasil, levando em consideração os resultados esperados pela literatura nacional e internacional. A base de dados inclui IPOs realizados entre maio de 2004 e fevereiro de 2011, totalizando 129 IPOs com ofertas primária e/ou secundária e envolvendo em torno de R$ 128 bilhões. O retorno do primeiro dia, que caracteriza o ‘dinheiro deixado na mesa’, foi em média de 4,6% com relação ao preço de emissão, enquanto o ‘Flipping’ totalizou R$ 7,2 bilhões, ou seja, 5,6% da oferta. Para o retorno, analisado antes e depois da abertura, evidenciou-se (a) a determinação exógena do preço de emissão, além da (b) influência no preço de abertura do ‘disclosure’ do prospecto e de outras variáveis observáveis antes do processo de ‘bookbuilding’, como também (c) o comportamento em ‘cascata’ dos investidores na formação de preços após a abertura, particularmente catalisada pela atuação do ‘underwriter’. Já o ‘Flipping’ foi mais proeminente conforme o sucesso do IPO, sendo concentrado no primeiro dia, mas homogêneo ao longo deste, apesar da intensa negociação no primeiro minuto. Como contribuição geral para a literatura, foi constatada a insuficiência dos argumentos baseados na Teoria da Assimetria da Informação na explicação do ‘Underpricing’ e do ‘Flipping’ no primeiro dia, sendo identificada a complementaridade de argumentos baseados em Finanças Comportamentais adaptados para o mercado intradiário

Abstract:
För att ge lärare på fritidshemmet ökad kunskap kring hur arbetet med digitala verktyg kan se ut, har iPads använts i denna studie för att öka motivationen till matematik bland elever på fritidshemmet. Studien grundar sig i en aktionsforskningsansats och en aktion har genomförts på ett fritidshem. Aktionen har inneburit en workshop med sju matematiska appar, samt en testperiod under fem veckor där eleverna fått möjlighet att arbeta med apparna. Fyra fritidslärare har intervjuats, två gånger var. Sammanlagt åtta intervjuer har genomförts, fyra nulägesintervjuer före aktionen och fyra utvärderingsintervjuer efter aktionen. De fyra fritidslärarna som intervjuats medverkar i aktionsforskningen och intervjuerna är genomförda på det fritidshem där aktionsforskningen utförs. Samtliga lärare arbetar på det fritidshem där studien genomförts. Aktionsforskningen resulterade i ökade frivilliga matematiska aktiviteter på fritidshemmet bland eleverna samt ett en ökad kunskap och trygghet bland fritidslärarna om hur användandet av digitala verktyg kan se ut.
To give teachers in after-school programs increased knowledge about activities involving digital tools, this study is using iPads to increase students’ motivation to work with mathematics in the after-school program. The study is based on action research and an action has been made in an after-school program. In this action, a workshop, involving seven mathematical apps, has been made, and during a test period of five weeks, the students had the opportunity to work with the apps. Four after-school teachers have been interviewed, two times each. A total of eight interviews have been made, four interviews to analyse the present situation before the action and four interviews to analyse the outcome of the action. The four teachers, being interviewed, is included in the action research and the interviews are being carried out in the after-school program where the action research takes place. All the teachers are working in the after-school program where this research has been made. The action research resulted in increased volunteered mathematical activities among the students. The research also resulted in increased knowledge and confidence among the teachers about the using of digital tools in education.

Abstract:
Elementary teachers at a school in the southeastern United States received iPads and iPad training to improve teaching and learning in the content subject areas. Despite the iPad training provided by district technology personnel, teachers expressed a need for more content-specific training. Teachers need adequate and appropriate professional development to assist in preparing integrated computer-based technology instruction to increase student academic achievement. The purpose of this qualitative bounded case study was to explore the descriptions of 10 purposely selected 4th and 5th grade teachers who used iPads in content subjects and 1 instructional technology facilitator who provided district iPad training regarding the district's iPad professional development and implementation in instruction. The theoretical support for this study was the technological pedagogical content knowledge framework that provided an interaction among technology, pedagogy, and content knowledge. Data were collected from face-to-face interviews and lesson plans. Inductive analysis was used with hand coding to discover themes. Teachers recognized the need for ongoing professional development and collaboration with colleagues to create content-specific iPad integrated lessons. Based on these findings, a project was designed to provide teachers with a 3-day professional development to include modeled lessons, collaboration with colleagues, a shared Google Drive folder, and a schedule for ongoing professional development. These endeavors may promote positive social change by providing ongoing content-specific iPad professional development for elementary teachers that could improve computer-based technology instruction and student learning in content subject areas.

Abstract:
This mixed method study combined the paradigms of quantitative and qualitative research to examine how iPads are used from teachers' perspectives. In the first phase, the researcher collected and analyzed the quantitative data from classroom observations. The second phase consisted of collecting and analyzing the qualitative data to help explain, or elaborate on the quantitative results in the first phase. The researcher utilized a convenient sample of 21 elementary and secondary working teachers who had been using iPads in their classroom at their school in southern Illinois. The findings showed that the majority of teachers did not have any iPad training. They all had to resort to different sources such as self-learning and colleagues' support to learn more about how to integrate the iPad and useful apps into their teaching. There were three practices of iPad use in the classroom. The first practice was that the teachers delivered each iPad to each learner. The second practice was similar to the first practice but the teacher checked out only five or six iPads and distributed each iPad to each group in the classroom. The third practice was that only the teacher used the iPad to deliver the lesson in the classroom. In all cases, the teachers combined the iPad with other technology devices to show the content to the students on the project screen. Students who were taught by the teachers with the iPad mainly worked either individually or in the whole class. In addition, the most common roles the teachers took were lecturing and facilitating when they integrated the iPad into their teaching. The most common level of activities or in-class assignments was "knowledge representation" equivalent of "comprehension" level on the Bloom's Taxonomy. Regarding the frequency of iPad use in the classroom, while teachers at public schools sometime used the iPad, their peers at a private school frequently used it. The result also indicated that, according to the teachers, the use of the iPad in the classroom was somewhat useful (2.75 out of 5.00). The average time a teacher spent preparing an iPad-integrated lesson depended on whether he or she had any formal training in iPad use or not. Finally, the teachers observed differences in their students' motivation and/or behaviors when they were learning with the iPad. They were skeptical about whether the use of the iPad had any impact on their students' achievements because there were many variables that could affect their achievements. However, they agreed that the quality of their students' tasks or assignments on the day the iPad was used were better than those on the day the iPad was not used.

Abstract:

This research study focused on how technology-based tools have changed the 21st century education arena in elementary school mathematics classes. The research highlighted the inner city schools where many students in the class are achieving below state standards set for third grade level. The research question asked to what extent do students have a higher level of engagement in math classes in which iPads and other technologies are used? Technology continued to advance in 21st century classrooms where students are daily participants in teaching and learning with acquired experience using technology tools to accelerate their learning experience. Children are technology users with a passion for texting, web surfing, playing interactive games, social media, and more. The research methodology was data collection of achievement levels, using a quantitative method. The quantitative process for the research project supplemented the greater understanding of student achievement growth from integrated iPads in a third-grade math class in inner city schools in Chicago. The test was completed by the students, and the scores were automatically updated on the public website. The students had two hours to complete the test, and the students’ information was kept confidential. The students that were taught using technology outscored the students that were not taught using technology. The recommendation was to implement technology in all schools and create a challenging curriculum. The final recommendation for teaching with technology included the beneficial factors.

Abstract:
Being able to read at a fluent rate has many advantages to the individual in both educational and wider social contexts throughout life. To be a fluent reader means that the individual can sustain high accuracy while reading at a rate appropriate to the material and the setting, and implies the development of automaticity in the cognitive processes involved in reading. Fluency has not, however, been the focus of much research. In this study an observational learning technique - feedforward video self modelling (FFVSM) - was used to improve children’s reading fluency. Eleven primary school children aged between 72 and 108 months, 4 girls and 7 boys, viewed edited video footage of themselves seemingly reading a difficult text at a fluent rate six times over a two week period. The results showed that the majority of the children improved their reading fluency, comprehension and accuracy, as well as their reader self-perception (a proxy measure of self-efficacy). These positive results suggest that FFVSM could be a rapid, cost effective intervention to be used within educational settings to promote fluent reading.

Abstract:
Despite the rapid expansion of mobile technologies in K-12 schools, recent research has shown that many teachers are ill prepared to take advantage of these new tools. This study was designed to address the problem of lack of effective iPad integration in primary classrooms at an international school in South Korea. The purpose of this case study was to examine primary teachers' perceptions of the implementation of an iPad initiative begun in 2012. Framed by Koehler and Mishra's technological pedagogical content knowledge model (TPACK), the study was guided by research questions that involved teachers' perceptions of the barriers, challenges, and successes regarding iPad implementation in the primary classroom. A purposeful sample of 5 K-2 teachers who use iPads in the classroom was chosen. The case study design entailed semi-structured interviews, classroom observations of each participant, and examination of teachers' lesson plans. Data were coded and analyzed using inductive analysis based on components of a conceptual logic model. Credibility and trustworthiness were ensured through member checking and triangulation of data. Results showed lack of experience, collegial support, and iPad-specific training as barriers and future preparation for teachers as a challenge. Successes were demonstrated through formative assessments and digital portfolios. The resulting project was a comprehensive professional development plan to provide primary teachers with the knowledge and skills to implement technology in the classroom and ongoing support to develop a professional technology learning network. In terms of broad social change, this research and project might provide insight to better prepare educators to make the best use of integrated learning technologies for efficient and effective teaching and learning in classrooms.

COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DO PESSOAL DE ENSINO SUPERIOR
Nos últimos 10 anos, bolsas de valores de vários países buscaram alianças ou implementaram novas regras de governança que, em geral, visam a proteger os acionistas minoritários. O Novo Mercado foi criado pela BOVESPA dentro desse contexto, inspirado no Neuer Markt alemão. Ao aderir às regras do Novo Mercado, as firmas garantem um maior nível de proteção aos seus acionistas minoritários, o que deve levar a um aumento dos preços das ações e, conseqüentemente, da capacidade de financiamento dessas firmas via mercado de capitais. Utilizando uma amostra de 46 Ofertas Públicas Iniciais de Ações de empresas privadas ocorridas na BOVESPA de 1994 a 2006, encontramos evidência de que empresas que optam pelo Novo Mercado, em média, vendem uma fração maior de seu capital (9,52% a mais) do que as empresas que optam por outros segmentos da BOVESPA. Nosso estudo também mostra um benefício do Novo Mercado ao qual não se tem dado tanta atenção. O aumento do preço facilita a venda de parte das ações existentes dos acionistas controladores, possibilitando uma diversificação de riqueza a custos mais baixos. O Novo Mercado parece ser tão importante para a capacidade de financiamento das empresas como para os ganhos de diversificação dos controladores.
For the last 10 years, stock exchanges from several countries have been searching for alliances or implementing new corporate governance rules in order to protect minority shareholders. The Novo Mercado (New Market) was created by the Brazilian stock exchange, BOVESPA, in this context, inspired by the German Neuer Markt. By adhering to Novo Mercado rules, firms guarantee a higher level of minority shareholder protection, which should lead to an increase in stock prices and, as a consequence, on firm´s financing capacity through capital markets. Using a sample of 46 Initial Public Stock Offerings at BOVESPA from 1994 until 2006, we find that companies that list their shares at Novo Mercado sell, on average, a bigger fraction of their capital (9.52% more) when compared to those that list at other segments in BOVESPA. Our study also shows a benefit of Novo Mercado that has not being much discussed. Higher stock prices make it less costly for controlling stockholders to diversify their wealth. The Novo Mercado seems to be as relevant for financing companies as for diversifying shareholders´ portfolios.

Full text
Abstract:
When companies go public, the shares they sell tend to be underpriced, and thus exhibit a significant price jump on the first day of trading. As a result, IPO investors materialize significant first-day returns. In the long-run, however, relative to some benchmark, investors appear to lose out by continuing to hold the stocks of firms that have recently gone public. These IPO phenomena are subject of the following study. The thesis addresses two main objectives. First, it systematically surveys relevant empirical evidence and theories that have been proposed to explain IPO underpricing and long-run underperformance. In addition, both anomalies are studied form the viewpoints of two competing finance theories: efficient market hypothesis and behavioral finance. Theories of underpricing are grouped within two broad categories: asymmetric information based models and behavioral theories. While asymmetric information based models assume that one of the IPO transaction parties knows more than others, and that these information frictions give rise to underpricing, behavioral explanations, on the other hand, assume the presence of irrational investors who are the prime cause of underpricing. Theories of poor long-term performance are based on behavioral finance perspective only, where "investor sentiment" plays the main role. On the contrary, proponents of market efficiency strongly argue that the notion of systematic IPOs long-run underperformance is spurious. Secondly, the thesis empirically examines the presence of underpricing and the long-performance of IPOs in European NYSE Euronext markets. In general, the results undoubtedly show that IPOs in the sample are moderately underpriced on average. However, the assessment of IPOs long-run performance provides contentious findings and probably requires further research.

Abstract:
Background/Purpose: Handheld devices are becoming increasingly prevalent in healthcare settings; however, few studies have examined the use of handheld devices for clinical documentation in the acute care setting. The purpose of this study was to investigate how nurses use the iPad for clinical documentation in the acute care setting. Methods: End user usability testing with think-aloud protocol was performed in a laboratory environment. Nurses who worked on an orthopedic surgery unit that use electronic clinical documentation were given a fictitious patient scenario with seven clinical documentation tasks that maximized the use of different functions of the iPad interface. A coding scheme was developed based on user and system behaviours defined by Dawson and Kushniruk. Results: Nine nurses participated in the usability testing. Nurses were in the nursing profession for an average of 13.2 years and in the study setting for an average of 11.5 years. All nurses reported that they had a desktop computer for personal use, and some nurses also owned an iPad (50%) and Smartphone (62.5%). Coded events were categorized into problems related to navigation, screen size, data entry, and login/logout. Navigational problems were mainly characterized by extra taps, mistaps, and the switch between tapping with finger and stylus. Nurses also had problems with the screen size when reading the font and icons, and selecting objects. Data entry problems were related to using a small external keyboard, and the mismatch with how data is saved between the iPad and the desktop computer terminals. Login/logout problems were significant barriers to clinical documentation as the process for both were time-consuming and required multiple steps. Conclusion: Improvements in clinical practice and the organization are warranted to enhance the use of iPads in the acute care setting, including education on the unit, and structural and technical supports from the organization. Organization supports include improving organizational infrastructure, incorporating stakeholder engagement and testing into the planning and implementation processes, and evaluating the compatibility of the operating systems employed by the handheld device and the organization. Further research in this area is warranted to better inform practice and future decision-making.

Abstract:

Increased competitive and regulatory pressures are requiring American universities to find new and innovative models to improve student academic success and college value. Previous research has noted that the introduction of mobile or tablet-based devices into education pedagogies can support learning activities if implemented effectively. This study provides an empirical analysis on the relationship between instructor iPad adoption in classroom learning activities and instructor perceived improvement in student retention rates. An adapted version of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model was used as the theoretical model to assess this relationship along with regression analysis to estimate the variance. Overall, the findings validate the application of the UTAUT model towards instructor adoption of iPad technologies in classroom learning activities, and support the supposition that instructors who more readily adopt the use of iPads technologies in their classroom activities also perceive that student retention outcomes can improve by doing so. Social influence and performance expectancy were determined to be the largest factors influencing instructor adoption. Furthermore, the personality traits of versatility, creativity and emotional control were found to have no bearing on the relationship between instructor technology adoption and perceived improvement to student retention. Recommendations for further research included: (a) extending this study to other educational institutions, (b) exploring the relationship between instructor adoption of iPad technology and actual, as opposed to perceived, student retention outcomes, and (c) adapting the theoretical framework used in this study to include perceived student retention as a predictor of intent to adopt.

Abstract:

Uppsatsen behandlar fenomenet med tajming av börsintroduktioner. Syftet är att först

undersöka om det finns ett samband mellan antalet årliga IPOs i Sverige och den

generella utvecklingen på börsen, och vilka orsaker som kan tänkas ligga bakom ett

eventuellt samband. Vidare testas hypotesen att IPOs som skett i tider av kraftig

börsuppgång värderats högre än introduktioner som skett då börsen haft en negativ

kursutveckling. Undersökningarna genomförs med två regressionsmodeller, på data

över svenska börsintroduktioner mellan 1979–2004.

Ur resultaten framgår att det i Sverige finns ett tydligt samband mellan antalet årliga

IPOs och börsens allmänna utveckling. Dessutom visar undersökningen att denna IPO

tajming, inte med all säkerhet, leder till en högre värdering av börsintroduktioner.

Abstract:
An alternative way to invest on the stock market is to invest in IPO’s. An IPO (InitialPublic Offering) is the first time a company goes public on a stock market, giving outshares to private investors and financial institutions. However, there might be someuncertainties about the share price as it never has been traded on the stock exchangebefore and it could therefore be difficult to determine a reasonable value for the shareprice. Consequently, if the offering price for the investor is significantly lower thanthe “correct valued” price it will generate positive initial return during the first tradingday and this phenomenon is labelled as underpricing, generating more “money on thetable”. Still, previous researches display an underperformance among IPO’s during alonger period after the introduction compared to already established companies withinthe same sector, arguing that investors should sell their shares early after the firsttrading day.The objective of this study is therefore to determine if underpricing exists for IPO’son the Swedish stock exchange and if there are any differentiations amongst sectors,and also to investigate two different Buy-and-Hold strategies. A final objective for thestudy is to determine if the level of underpricing is affected by some explanatoryvariables.With a quantitative study and a longitudinal approach, the results confirm the effect ofunderpricing for IPO’s on the Swedish stock exchange, generating an averageunderpricing of 5.56%. Additionally, this study cannot display any different medianunderpricing between industry sectors. However, it contradicts with theunderperformance phenomenon, indicating an overperformance for longer Buy-and-Hold strategies. Lastly, a regression of explanatory variables trying to explain thelevel of underpricing demonstrates no statistically significant results.

How the corporate governance influence the IPOs and non-IPO s` firm performance is discussed in the study. The effect of corporate governance to the financial performance is also investigated. The variables of board composition, executive compensation, and ownership structure are tested in the study. It is found that supervisor system affects both IPOs and non-IPOs positively and significantly. However, size of independent directors, compensation of directors, and insider ownership positively affect the financial performance of IPO firms significantly other than non-IPO, while the ownership of blockholders, domestic corporation holdings and R&D expense are negatively related to the financial performance. The director and CEO Duality, compensation of managers and firm size in non-IPOs are significantly positive than IPO firms, while board size, government are not related to the financial performance. The performance of corporate governance of IPO s is better than non-IPOs`.

Abstract:
Esta dissertação introduz um novo tipo de procedimento que permite detectar o comportamento explosivo no desempenho do preço das acções, no curto prazo, de empresas recém-cotadas na bolsa dos EUA, usando um novo tipo de dados, cotações intradiárias. Em contraste com a maioria da literatura, esta dissertação não se foca em determinar se as OPVs são subvalorizadas ou sobrevalorizadas, mas sim em detectar um possível comportamento exuberante no preço das acções das empresas imediatamente após a sua entrada em bolsa e determinar os momentos em que esse comportamento se evidencia e o possível colapso dessa exuberância. Este trabalho mostra que este novo mecanismo de detecção foi capaz de determinar que algumas OPVs evidenciaram um processo explosivo imediatamente após a Oferta Pública de Venda e foi capaz de assinalar a data do início desse comportamento e o seu colapso. Contudo, este teste detectou um comportamento explosivo em OPVs sobrevalorizadas, ou seja em empresas cujo preço das acções reagiu de forma oposta a um desempenho explosivo, logo é necessário fazer uma análise minuciosa a cada caso. Por fim, esta dissertação apresenta uma análise detalhada da empresa ReWalk Robotics Ltd, empresa essa que teve um comportamento exuberante inicial bastante assinalável, mas cujo preço, cerca de um ano após a sua OPV, era inferior ao seu preço de entrada no mercado.
This dissertation introduces a new type of procedure to detect ex-ante explosive behaviour in the post-issue short term stock performance of newly listed firms in the USA, using a new type of data, intraday quotes. Contrarily to most literature this dissertation does not focus on understanding if IPOs are underpriced or overpriced, but on detecting if the stock performance of the newly listed firm is having an explosive behaviour or not and in data stamping that explosiveness and a possible collapse. This work shows that this new detection mechanism has been able to find that some IPOs had an explosive process immediately after the IPO and it has been possible to determine the date of the beginning of the exuberant behaviour and the collapse. However, this test has detected explosive processes in overpriced IPOs, meaning that the stock price showed an opposite behaviour of explosiveness, therefore it is important to make a complete case-by-case analysis. Moreover, this dissertation presents a comprehensive analysis about ReWalk Robotics Ltd, a company in which has been detected initial exuberance, although it has underperformed almost a year after its IPO date.

There are many major changes in underwriting system on March, 2005. Among them, the most important is to lift up the price caps for the first 5 trading days in their IPOs. The past literatures on IPOs have defects due to this limitation on price moves and resulting overreaction on the calculation of stock returns. The abrogation of the limitation exhibits great opportunity to re-examine the price movements of IPO stocks. We also examine the effect of corporate governance to the IPO stock price movement. We use the IPOs in the Taiwan Stock Exchange that fit the new rules. Sample period is between March 2005 and December 2006. The research focuses on how the new rules and corporate governance factors would affect the stock returns. The empirical results exhibit that there does exist the first-trading-day positive returns. This research also finds that IPO stocks with Public Subscription have negative correlation with initial day returns due to the profit-taking selloff in the first trading day. Besides, over-booking has negative correlation with initial day returns, showing that the mechanism helps to stablize price movement. As to the ratio of new shares allocated for public offering, there isn’t significant effect to initial day returns. For corporate governance, the research finds that the initial day returns are higher when controlling directors took more seats in the board or less independent directors in the board. We could conclude that for companies with less solid corporate governance, aiming to attract investors, would lower their underwriting prices to lift up booking rates. As a result, we suggest for companies that try to IPO should first construct solid corporate governance mechanism and hence would increase bargaining power when setting underwriting prices with underwriters.

Abstract:
Underpricing is present in most of the initial public offerings, which tend to underperform in the course of time. For that reason, I develop regression models that evaluate the impact and importance of factors such as offer price, closing price, underpricing, type of sector, type of capital structure and stock exchange in the initial public offerings first day level of underpricing, 3-year, 3-year to 5-year and 5-year share performance and 3-year and 5-year share price, after the issuance. Furthermore, these models are tested on a sample of initial public offerings listed between 2000 to 2014. Hereupon, I find that venture capitalist backed initial public offerings have a positive relationship with first-day underpricing, 3-year and 5-year performance and share price, whereas the offer price and closing price have with the 3-year and 5-year share price. The Information Technology, Communication Services and Consumer Discretionary sectors underprice more in the first day than the others.
A subvalorização está presente na maioria das ofertas públicas iniciais, que geralmente têm a tendência de obter um desempenho inferior ao primeiro dia, ao longo do tempo. Tais factos cativaram-me a desenvolver modelos de regressão que permitem avaliar o impacto e a importância que fatores como o preço de oferta, preço de fecho de mercado, subvalorização, tipo de setor, tipo de estrutura de capital e bolsa de valores possuem nas ofertas públicas iniciais em termos de subvalorização, desempenho das ações nos primeiros três anos, entre o terceiro e o quinto ano e ao longo dos cinco anos, bem como o preço da ação no terceiro e quinto ano após a listagem. Para além disto, estes modelos são testados numa amostra composta por ofertas públicas iniciais listadas entre 2000 e 2014. Posto isto, posso afirmar que as ofertas públicas iniciais auxiliadas por capitais de risco têm uma relação positiva com a subvalorização inicial, desempenho e preço das ações no terceiro e quinto ano, enquanto o preço de oferta e o preço de fecho têm com o preço das ações no ano 3 e 5. Os sectores da Tecnologia de Informação, Serviços de Comunicação e Bens não essenciais apresentam uma maior subvalorização que os restantes.

This study first uses event study to examine the IPOs’ abnormal return from 126 samples in Taiwan’s stock market during 2005-2014. It shows consistently significant abnormal return exists both on first day and first five day from the IPO companies as many literatures’ finding. Then the following effects including firm specific, corporate governance and pre-IPO performance factors are examined on this IPO’s abnormal return. The results find the abnormal return will be higher in the firms with the higher equity pledge ratio of directors and supervisors. However, the better underwriter’s reputation supported by corporate governance effects will lead to negative abnormal return. And it also finds a significant positive abnormal return indeed exists during the hot market period.
