Abstract:
Over the past two decades, the term postmodern has crept into presidential studies. Despite this, the notion of applying the term to the presidency may obscure more than it reveals. Throughout this period, various political scientists such as Rose, Barilleaux, Schier, Bruce Miroff, and others, as well as communications scholars like Shawn Parry-Giles and Trevor Parry-Giles have merged the term postmodern with the study of the presidency; yet there continues to be no agreement on what exactly the postmodern presidency is or represents. For some, the postmodern presidency signifies a distinct era, fundamentally different from those of the past. For others, the postmodern characteristics and leadership style necessary to govern in a changing political and social landscape define the contemporary presidency. Thus, despite being used for nearly two decades, the term postmodern continues to be mired in ambiguity. With the many differing views that make up the literature of the postmodern presidency, numerous questions arise. Is the onset of the postmodern presidency a result of a fundamental shift in the presidency, occurring regardless of who occupies the Oval Office, or is it better characterized as a shift in the individual traits of presidents necessary to govern during a newly emerging era? Does the core of the postmodern presidency center on foreign policy as a reflection of the end of the Cold War, or can it be better attributed to the rise of public politics, the decline of political parties, and the onslaught of media coverage that surround the contemporary presidency? The following chapters attempt to analyze the concept of the postmodern presidency, comparing the many definitions and timeframes that surround the term as a means of critically examining the existing work on the postmodern presidency.

Hylton, Joseph G. "The Growth of Executive Power and the Modern Presidency: Nixon to Clinton." Scholarship @ Claremont, 2016. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/cmc_theses/1444.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis tracks the direction of the development of unilateral executive power from Nixon to Clinton. The thirty-two-year process saw a mostly continuous growth of the power of the president to act unilaterally through a variety of mechanisms seizing the ability to act first from the other branches of government and the bureaucracy. The ability to enhance presidential power depends on many factors such as one time shocks (such as Watergate) and congressional support. The minority presidency of Richard Nixon responded to democratic control of Congress by aggressive assertions of presidential power via unilateral decrees. In fights such as impoundment, wage and price controls, and affirmative action plans, Nixon attempted to increase the power of the presidency while also laying groundwork for future regulatory reforms. Nixon’s resignation and Watergate crated stiff headwinds for the development of the unilateral powers of the presidency with Congress passed meaningful attempts to claw back presidential powers that had accumulated over time. Nevertheless, the Ford and Carter presidencies still saw the groundwork laid for the next major expansion of presidential authority. Under Reagan and George Herbert Walker Bush, the “Reagan Revolution” saw the Presidency gain new powers to aggressively combat the growing state. The assault on government saw the creation of modern signing statements, and harsh anti-regulatory actions. Clinton’s presidency saw a continued evolution of executive power albeit shaped by the significantly different ends trying to be achieved than under the two previous Republican presidents while also seeing new innovations in the mix of powers.

MATHIS, DAVID. "Image, institution and leadership : Philip Lindsley and the modern university presidency 1825-1850." W&M ScholarWorks, 1985. https://scholarworks.wm.edu/etd/1539618588.

Full text
Abstract:
Colleges and universities have historically found that their projected image, character, prestige, and reputation is highly significant to success, even though these illusive indicators of quality may be little more than emotional responses to what people believe, rather than reality. These over-simplifications are based on filtered messages and perceptions, and when they occur, a Gestalt view results that relates to the institution as a whole. One avenue often utilized by institutions of higher education to achieve this institutional image or character is through the president or major spokesman.;One important historic case of the spokesman's role in higher education is that of Philip B. Lindsley, educator and Presbyterian clergyman, who served as president of the University of Nashville from 1825 to 1850. He is, in effect, the nineteenth century precursor of the twentieth century university president. While involved in all aspects of his small and struggling institution, he devoted much of his time and energy addressing the external affairs of the university. He solicited monetary support both from individual citizens of Nashville and from the State of Tennessee for his private nonsectarian institution. He was keenly aware of the power of the press in influencing public policy just as he understood that higher education is not an isolated entity, but instead, one that must fit within the overall needs of society--economically, socially, educationally (at all levels of lower public education), and morally.;The Lindsley of nineteenth century Nashville stood in dramatic relief to most college presidents of the time. But his legacy was not to be in his own university, which closed shortly after his resignation in 1850. Instead, the significance of Philip Lindsley would be in the themes he addressed, through public speeches and published papers, regarding the direction of higher education in Tennessee and beyond.;In this frontier environment, where the impossible was thought only slightly less attainable than the difficult, Philip Lindsley confused the visionary with the real and turned his dreams into illusions. Herein lies his importance as a "type" and "role" for the American college president.;His professional inscription stands separate from the University of Nashville. He became a symbol of educational leadership through the celebration of his philosophies and creeds. After a while and with his repeated oratory, Philip Lindsley's reputation gained increased acceptance merely because of his recognition. Image and institution ceased to be one.

Abstract:
O objetivo dessa dissertação é analisar três edifícios da cidade de Presidente Prudente numa perspectiva de ampliar o conhecimento sobre a arquitetura produzida em regiões fora dos chamados grandes centros além de analisá-los com referência à arquitetura moderna em São Paulo. As obras escolhidas são o Tênis Clube, a Prefeitura Municipal e o Serviço Nacional de Aprendizagem Comercial (SENAC). Elas compartilham da mesma linguagem tectônica e foram projetadas por arquitetos de fora da cidade. Um inventário e posteriormente uma análise crítica da obra foi feito, situando-as no contexto de formação e desenvolvimento da cidade de Presidente Prudente, além de procurar entender algumas conseqüentes inter-relações com outras obras no mesmo período. Para as considerações, a pesquisa propôs um recorte metodológico que se construiu por meio de elementos de composição da arquitetura moderna.
The objective of this dissertation is to analyse three buildings in the city of Presidente Prudente in the hopes of expanding knowledge concerning the architecture employed in zoning far from the so-called downtown areas as well as analyze them compared to modern architecture in São Paulo. The chosen structures are the Tênis Clube, the Prefeitura Municipal and Serviço Nacional de Aprendizagem Comercial (SENAC). They share the same tectonic characteristics and were designed by architects from out of town. An inventory was done and later a critical analysis of these structures was completed, placing them within the context of Presidente Prudente\'s formation and development, as well as attempting to understand some consequent interrelations with other structures of the same period. For these considerations, the research proposed a methodical cross section built with elements of modern architecture.

Abstract:
Though scholars have assessed the unilateral presidency with renewed interests, the literature remains weak in three important areas. What relation, if any, exists between the public and presidential unilateral actions? What impact does the judiciary have on unilateral presidential power? To what extent do presidents use the many tools in the unilateral policy toolchest? The three essays in this dissertation address each of these questions in term. Results have implications for both the unilateral presidency and broader works in executive decision-making and democratic governance.

Abstract:
Over the past century, the role of the vice presidency has increased drastically, to the point that some view the president and the vice president as a co-presidency. When this started and who perpetuated the change is up to debate, but the fact that the vice presidency and the vice-presidential selection process have increased in visibility and importance is not. This project analyzes the changes that occurred in the selection of the vice-presidential running mates in the last four decades by comparing the news coverage of the vice-presidential selection process in the years 1968 and 2000. What characteristics (such as ideology, compatibility, moral character, experience, etc.) do the media value most when reporting on the vice-presidential selection? The study observes the presidential election-year months of March through December in order to acquire data from the time the veepstakes speculation startsâ after a presidential candidate secures enough delegates to win the nominationâ to after the general electionâ where the electoral impact of the vice-presidential choice can be interpreted.

Na busca de solucionar a problemática do lixo urbano, nos últimos anos, o aterro sanitário vem sendo a forma de tratamento e disposição final mais comumente empregado na maioria das cidade brasileiras. Apesar de ser considerado uma forma de disposição segura, aterros sanitário apresentam algum risco de contaminação do solo e da água subterrânea. Os líquidos percolados dos resíduos, formados pelo chorume e pelas águas de chuva que infiltram no aterro, apresentam alto grau de poluição. Quando esse líquidos atingem os mananciais subterrâneos ou superficiais, podem alterar significativamente as características das águas, inviabilizando-as para consumo e impossibilitando a sobrevivência dos organismos aquáticos. Neste sentido, é necessário estimar a quantidade produzida desses percolados para que se possa projetar sistemas de drenagem e tratamento desses efluentes. A quantidade é determinada por vários métodos baseados em equações empíricas. Atualmente, métodos computacionais são utilizados, principalmente nos EUA, com destaque para o Modelo Help (Hidrologic Evaluation landfill Performance) desenvolvido pela Agência de Proteção Ambiental dos Estados Unidos (EPA). Em função disto, o presente trabalho procurou analisar a aplicabilidade do Modelo HELP para estudar o comportamento hídrico de aterros sanitários no Brasil. Para isso, o projeto do aterro de Presidente Prudente, São Paulo, foi usado, considerando-se as características climáticas, geotécnicas e hidrológicas locais. Em relação a outros modelos computacionais, o trabalho mostrou que o Modelo Help teve desempenho satisfatório em função da menor quantidade de dados de entrada requeridos e da facilidade na obtenção dos resultados.
In the last years, landfills have been used as the final disposal method most commonly used in Brazilian cities. Although considered as a safety solution, landfills present some risk of soil and groundwater contamination. Leachings from waste, formed by the leachate and the rain water that infiltrates in the landfill, present a high degree of pollution. When these leachings reach the aquifers, they may alter significantly the characteristics of the water, avoiding its use and life of aquatic organisms. Therefore, it is necessary to estimate the amount of leachate produced in order to design the drainage and treatment system of these effluents. There are several methods to determine this amount of leachate based on empirical equations. Nowadays, computational methods are utilized, mainly in the USA, with emphasis to the HELP (Hydrologic Evaluation Landfill Performance) model developed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Due to this, the present wok analyses the applicability of the HELP model to study the performance of landfills in Brazil. To do so, the landfill project of Presidente Prudente, São Paulo, is used, considering the local climatic, geotechnical and hydrological conditions. Related to other computational models, the results show that the HELP model had a satisfactory performance considering the small amount of data required and the facility to obtain the results.

Desde a redemocratização, com o desmonte da política habitacional centrada no Banco Nacional de Habitação (BNH), o mercado imobiliário brasileiro vem passando por um processo de reestruturação econômica, com o desenvolvimento de modernas empresas incorporadoras imobiliárias. Estas empresas possuem capacidade de atuação tem alcançado vastas áreas do território nacional. Dentro deste contexto, as cidades médias aparecem em destaque, não só porque se configuram no momento presente como mercados dinâmicos e cada vez mais importantes no interior do mercado imobiliário, mas porque de seu dinamismo, surgem também modernas empresas incorporadoras, que se desenvolvem com uma lógica de produção imobiliária própria. Dentre estas cidades médias, as cidades de Araçatuba, Marília, Presidente Prudente e São José do Rio Preto, no Oeste Paulista, fazem parte da rede urbana do estado de São Paulo, a mais complexa do país do ponto de vista econômico, e se destacam tanto pelo maior dinamismo da rede urbana paulista, quanto pela sua centralidade no contexto regional desta rede. Se configuram, portanto, como lugares privilegiados para a análise deste moderno capital incorporador, que nos últimos anos tem se dinamizado cada vez mais devido principalmente ao aprofundamento da integração da economia brasileira ao capitalismo financeiro internacional, mas também às transformações recentes na capacidade de consumo da população nacional. Neste contexto, o objetivo deste trabalho é compreender como, neste contexto, as modernas incorporadoras imobiliárias que atuam nas cidades médias paulistas são afetadas, buscando desvendar suas lógicas de atuação e seu impacto nas cidades médias. Para tanto, utilizamos a teoria dos circuitos da economia urbana, em uma abordagem original, voltada para a leitura do mercado imobiliário a partir desta realidade. Concluímos, com este trabalho, que o moderno capital incorporador se posiciona como um agente hegemônico dentro dos circuitos econômicos pela sua capacidade de mobilizar agentes e recursos nas diferentes cidades, a partir da superação dos limites da terra-mercadoria (imobilidade, irreprodutibilidade e indestrutibilidade) feita pela articulação entre informação e novas formas de financiamento no território.
Since the redemocratization, with the dismantling of the housing policy centered on the National Housing Bank (BNH), the Brazilian real estate market has undergone a process of economic restructuring, with the development of modern real estate developers. These companies have the capacity to act trough vast areas of the national territory. In this context, medium-sized cities appear prominently, not only because they are presented today as dynamic and increasingly important markets within the real estate market, but, because of their dynamism, there are also modern incorporating companies that are developed with a own production logic in this citys. Among these medium-sized cities, the cities of Araçatuba, Marília, Presidente Prudente and São José do Rio Preto in the Oeste Paulista region, are part of the urban network of the state of São Paulo, the most complex in the country from an economic point of view, and stand out both for the greater dynamism of the urban network of São Paulo and for its centrality in the regional context of this network. They are, therefore, considered as privileged places for the analysis of this modern incorporating capital, which in recent years has become more and more dynamic due mainly to the deepening of the integration of the Brazilian economy into international financial capitalism, but also to the recent transformations in the consumption capacity of population. In this context, the objective of this work is to understand how, in this context, the modern real estate developers working in the medium-sized cities of São Paulo are affected, seeking to unveil their logic of action and its impact on medium-sized cities. To do so, we use the circuit theory of the urban economy, in an original approach, aimed at reading the real estate market from this reality. We conclude with this work that modern incorporating capital positions itself as a hegemonic agent within the economic circuits by its capacity to mobilize agents and resources in the different cities, by overcoming the limits of the land-commodity (immobility, irreproducibility and indestructibility) made by the articulation between information and new forms of financing in the territory.

Compreensão de que modo os agricultores estão interiorizando a lógica presente no modelo modenizador da agricultura, atualmente veinculada pelo Mercosul, e se existem diferenças de perspectiva em função do lugar que ocupam na escala produtiva. Entende-se por esta lógica a concepção de que os êxitos ou fracassos dependem exclusivamente de fatores pessoais, como se os estruturais não tivessem poder decisivo neste contexto. Trabalhou-se com quatro estratos produtivos e concluiu-se que este "modelo oficial" está sendo interiorizado de forma diferenciada entre os estratos quando em relação a alguns fatores, mas não em relação a outros. Isto quer dizer que os maiores produtores se identificam com este modelo na medida em que se sentem confirmados por ele, não o fazendo quando se sentem nele prejudicados, caracterizando que os agricultores têm sua própria lógica, nem sempre condizente com a "oficial". E há situações em que a concepção oficial enquadra-se disseminada por todos os estratos produtivos, evidenciando que a lógica específica dos agricultores não é linear.

Este trabalho está vinculado à linha de pesquisa “Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação e Educação”, do Programa de Pós-graduação em Educação da Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia – FCT/Unesp, Campus de Presidente Prudente. Com a implantação das Salas Ambiente de Informática (SAI) a Secretaria de Estado da Educação de São Paulo (SEE/SP) promoveu, por meio do Núcleo Regional de Tecnologia Educacional de Presidente Prudente (NRTE/PP), ações de formação de professores para o uso da Informática Educacional. Apesar do número considerável de professores já “capacitados”, a SAI ainda é pouco utilizada, pressupondo a não incorporação desta tecnologia à prática pedagógica dos professores. Esta situação motivou o desenvolvimento de uma pesquisa com abordagem qualitativa, de natureza documental, que tem por objetivo analisar a concepção do modelo de formação presente nas oficinas do Programa de Educação Continuada – Informática Educacional, realizadas no período de 2001 a 2003, na Diretoria de Ensino – Região de Presidente Prudente. Os resultados da pesquisa indicam que o modelo de formação não contempla os princípios apontados nos trabalhos de Nóvoa (1992), Garcia (1999), Zeichner (1993), Pimenta, Almeida (2000), Garcia (1999), Imbernón (2000), Papert (1985, 1994) e Valente (1993, 1999), dentre outros pesquisadores. Isso pode explicar porque os professores utilizam pouco a SAI.
This work is linked to the research named Information Technologies and Communication and Education in the Program of Pos Graduation in Education, in the Science and Technology College - FCT / Unesp, Presidente Prudente Campus. Having the implantation of rooms for Computer Studies (IAS) the São Paulo State Department of Education (SEE / SP) promoted, through the Regional Center of Educational Technology of Presidente Prudente (NRTE / PP), courses of teaching training for the use of Educational Information Technology. Despite of the considerable number of teachers that have trained for that or that able for that, the SAI is not being used a lot, assuming the non-incorporation of this technology to the pedagogical practice of teachers. This situation has motivated the development of research with a qualitative approach, a documentary, which aims to analyze the design of the model in workshops to train the Education Continuing Program - Educational Computing, made between the periods from 2001 to 2003, in the Education Department - Region of Presidente Prudente. The survey results indicate that the type of training does not include the principles highlighted in work about Nóvoa (1992), Garcia (1999), Zeichner (1993), Pimenta, Almeida (2000), Garcia (1999), Imbernón (2000), Papert (1985, 1994) and Valente (1993, 1999), among other researchers. This may explain why the teachers use the SAI not so much.

O desafio em dar-se um adequado destino aos resíduos sólidos urbanos (RSU) impõe a mobilização de toda a sociedade, visto o ser humano gerar um crescente volume de resíduos. Com o aumento do consumo e a limitação de recursos da Natureza, a reciclagem tem-se tornado uma necessidade, que é melhor viabilizada pela implantação da coleta seletiva. Para implantar a coleta seletiva é preciso que se desenvolva na sociedade uma cultura de reciclagem, para gerar resíduos sólidos recicláveis que permitam sua reinserção no ciclo produtivo, como matéria-prima. Na cidade de Presidente Prudente, Estado de São Paulo, Brasil, foi adotada uma estratégia de articulação social, que mobilizou diferentes instituições, a fim de construir a sustentabilidade ambiental no município, por meio da educação ambiental, junto à população, e implantação da coleta seletiva, a partir da inserção de catadores de resíduos do lixão em uma cooperativa de trabalhadores de produtos recicláveis. A pesquisa teve como objetivos: identificar o modelo de relação que foi estabelecido entre o grupo surgido da sociedade e a cooperativa, de forma a contemplar as diferentes necessidades sociais e que, ao mesmo tempo, legitimasse a implantação da coleta seletiva e da educação ambiental da população; discussão das dimensões sociais do trabalho nas cidades e dos desafios da sua precarização; discussão da dimensão entre trabalho e meio ambiente e da evolução social dos resíduos na demanda para a construção da sustentabilidade ambiental em Presidente Prudente; apresentação da institucionalização do Grupo de Apoiadores e dos desafios para a autogestão na Cooperlix; o processo de formação e a consolidação do Grupo de Apoiadores; e registro das trajetórias do Grupo de Apoiadores e da Cooperlix, ao longo de 15 anos, da criação de ambos, até a celebração do contrato entre a cooperativa e o poder público municipal. A hipótese adotada é que foi preciso engendrar-se um modelo de relacionamento que possibilitasse ao Grupo de Apoiadores dar suporte ao dia a dia da Cooperlix, a fim de evitar a sua paralisia ou o seu colapso, enquanto ela não conseguisse sustentar-se. Quanto aos resultados, foi identificado que o modelo de relação desenvolvido, a partir do modelo de gestão do Grupo de Apoiadores e da cooperativa, foi inclusivo e democrático junto às diferentes instituições existentes na sociedade, fundamentado no Cooperativismo, na Autogestão e na Economia Solidária, além de engendrar uma organização do trabalho que acolhia toda e qualquer instituição pública ou privada que desejasse participar, bem como contribuir para que a cooperativa oferecesse um território que abrigasse os catadores do lixão, o descarte seletivo de resíduos sólidos e a prática de educação ambiental pela reciclagem. O modelo identificado deriva da relação recíproca de interdependência entre Grupo de Apoiadores e Cooperlix. A representação é inovadora, porque mostra como pessoas comuns podem, coletivamente, tornar-se protagonistas de transformações sociais em larga escala.
The challenge to give a suitable destination to municipal solid waste (MSW) requires the mobilization of the whole society, as humans generate an increasing amount of waste. With the increase in consumption and the limited nature of resources, recycling has become a necessity, which is possible making the implementation of selective collection. To deploy the selective collection it is necessary to develop in society a culture of recycling to generate recyclable solid waste to enable their reintegration into the production cycle as raw material. In the city of Presidente Prudente, State of Sao Paulo, Brazil, a social joint strategy was adopted, which mobilized different institutions in order to build environmental sustainability in the city, through environmental education among the population, and implementation of selective collection, from entering landfill waste pickers in a recyclables workers cooperative. The research aimed to: identify the relationship model that has been established between the emerged group of society and the cooperative in order to contemplate the different social needs and at the same time, legitimated the implementation of selective collection and population environmental education; discussion of the social dimensions of work in the cities and the challenges of its precariousness; discussion of the dimension between labor and the environment and social development of waste in demand for the construction of environmental sustainability in Presidente Prudente; presentation of the institutionalization of the supporters group and the challenges to ownership in Cooperlix; the process of formation and consolidation of the supporters group; and record of the supporters group and Cooperlix trajectories over 15 years of the both creation, until of the contract conclusion between the cooperative and the municipal government. The adopted hypothesis is that was necessary to engender a relationship model that would allow the supporters group to support the Cooperlix day-to-day in order to avoid its paralysis or collapse, as it could not sustain itself. For the results, it was identified that the developed relationship model, of the supporters group and the cooperative management model, was inclusive and democratic along the different society institutions, based on Cooperative Model, Self-Management, and Solidarity Economy, besides engendering an organization of work that welcomed any public or private institution who wished to participate and contribute to the cooperative should offer a territory that housed the landfill scavengers, solid waste selective disposal, and the environmental education by recycling practice. The model identified derives from the mutual interdependence between group of supporters and Cooperlix. Representation is innovative because it shows how ordinary people can collectively become protagonists of social change on a large scale.

Resumo: O desafio em dar-se um adequado destino aos resíduos sólidos urbanos (RSU) impõe a mobilização de toda a sociedade, visto o ser humano gerar um crescente volume de resíduos. Com o aumento do consumo e a limitação de recursos da Natureza, a reciclagem tem-se tornado uma necessidade, que é melhor viabilizada pela implantação da coleta seletiva. Para implantar a coleta seletiva é preciso que se desenvolva na sociedade uma cultura de reciclagem, para gerar resíduos sólidos recicláveis que permitam sua reinserção no ciclo produtivo, como matéria-prima. Na cidade de Presidente Prudente, Estado de São Paulo, Brasil, foi adotada uma estratégia de articulação social, que mobilizou diferentes instituições, a fim de construir a sustentabilidade ambiental no município, por meio da educação ambiental, junto à população, e implantação da coleta seletiva, a partir da inserção de catadores de resíduos do lixão em uma cooperativa de trabalhadores de produtos recicláveis. A pesquisa teve como objetivos: identificar o modelo de relação que foi estabelecido entre o grupo surgido da sociedade e a cooperativa, de forma a contemplar as diferentes necessidades sociais e que, ao mesmo tempo, legitimasse a implantação da coleta seletiva e da educação ambiental da população; discussão das dimensões sociais do trabalho nas cidades e dos desafios da sua precarização; discussão da dimensão entre trabalho e meio ambiente e da evolução social dos resíduos na demanda para a construção da sustentabilidade amb...

Abstract: The challenge to give a suitable destination to municipal solid waste (MSW) requires the mobilization of the whole society, as humans generate an increasing amount of waste. With the increase in consumption and the limited nature of resources, recycling has become a necessity, which is possible making the implementation of selective collection. To deploy the selective collection it is necessary to develop in society a culture of recycling to generate recyclable solid waste to enable their reintegration into the production cycle as raw material. In the city of Presidente Prudente, State of Sao Paulo, Brazil, a social joint strategy was adopted, which mobilized different institutions in order to build environmental sustainability in the city, through environmental education among the population, and implementation of selective collection, from entering landfill waste pickers in a recyclables workers cooperative. The research aimed to: identify the relationship model that has been established between the emerged group of society and the cooperative in order to contemplate the different social needs and at the same time, legitimated the implementation of selective collection and population environmental education; discussion of the social dimensions of work in the cities and the challenges of its precariousness; discussion of the dimension between labor and the environment and social development of waste in demand for the construction of environmental sustainability in Presidente...

Resumo: Este trabalho está vinculado à linha de pesquisa "Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação e Educação", do Programa de Pós-graduação em Educação da Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia - FCT/Unesp, Campus de Presidente Prudente. Com a implantação das Salas Ambiente de Informática (SAI) a Secretaria de Estado da Educação de São Paulo (SEE/SP) promoveu, por meio do Núcleo Regional de Tecnologia Educacional de Presidente Prudente (NRTE/PP), ações de formação de professores para o uso da Informática Educacional. Apesar do número considerável de professores já "capacitados", a SAI ainda é pouco utilizada, pressupondo a não incorporação desta tecnologia à prática pedagógica dos professores. Esta situação motivou o desenvolvimento de uma pesquisa com abordagem qualitativa, de natureza documental, que tem por objetivo analisar a concepção do modelo de formação presente nas oficinas do Programa de Educação Continuada - Informática Educacional, realizadas no período de 2001 a 2003, na Diretoria de Ensino - Região de Presidente Prudente. Os resultados da pesquisa indicam que o modelo de formação não contempla os princípios apontados nos trabalhos de Nóvoa (1992), Garcia (1999), Zeichner (1993), Pimenta, Almeida (2000), Garcia (1999), Imbernón (2000), Papert (1985, 1994) e Valente (1993, 1999), dentre outros pesquisadores. Isso pode explicar porque os professores utilizam pouco a SAI.
Abstract: This work is linked to the research named "Information Technologies and Communication and Education" in the Program of Pos Graduation in Education, in the Science and Technology College - FCT / Unesp, Presidente Prudente Campus. Having the implantation of rooms for Computer Studies (IAS) the São Paulo State Department of Education (SEE / SP) promoted, through the Regional Center of Educational Technology of Presidente Prudente (NRTE / PP), courses of teaching training for the use of Educational Information Technology. Despite of the considerable number of teachers that have trained for that or that able for that, the SAI is not being used a lot, assuming the non-incorporation of this technology to the pedagogical practice of teachers. This situation has motivated the development of research with a qualitative approach, a documentary, which aims to analyze the design of the model in workshops to train the Education Continuing Program - Educational Computing, made between the periods from 2001 to 2003, in the Education Department - Region of Presidente Prudente. The survey results indicate that the type of training does not include the principles highlighted in work about Nóvoa (1992), Garcia (1999), Zeichner (1993), Pimenta, Almeida (2000), Garcia (1999), Imbernón (2000), Papert (1985, 1994) and Valente (1993, 1999), among other researchers. This may explain why the teachers use the SAI not so much.

This work aims at understanding the reform of the public instruction that took place in 1882, in the State of Espírito Santo, by the Province president, Inglês de Souza. It id based on the hypothesis that the circulation of pedagogical models, during the Second Empire, is a mark of representation fights that engendered in the period and delimited the substitution of teaching methods used for teachers formation in basic schools and of the elementary school students. To understand the reform and unveil the circulation of pedagogical methods found in it, the Province president s role as a manager of the Empire business and as an agent of the State organization and control was analyzed. In this process, it was studied the experiences performed by Inglês de Souza in the three Provinces which he had public duties (São Paulo, Sergipe and Espírito Santo). This way, it aims at understanding the school model revealed by Inglês de Souza and the school form proposed in his reforms. The research shows that the reformed public instruction was seen by Inglês de Souza as the only possible hope for Brazil s modernization and the way to integrate the Empire to the century level . The reform, as a modernization strategy which he undertook, was produced according to his liberal and positivist convictions, about the educational virtues as a progress factor that did not consider the necessary teaching laicization. This way, the Modern Pedagogy that he supported in his reforms is that one based on the intuitive teaching and on the lessons of things that he will designate as experimental pedagogy, so in this model, the sensitive experience came first, as a concrete teaching, on the opposite to the methods that used to initiate the learning process through abstract notions
Esta tese busca compreender a reforma da instrução pública realizada, em 1882, no Espírito Santo pelo presidente da Província Inglês de Sousa. Parte da hipótese que a circulação dos modelos pedagógicos, durante o Segundo Império, é marca das lutas de representações que se engendram no período, e balizam a substituição dos métodos de ensino empregados para a formação dos professores nas escolas normais e dos alunos das escolas primárias. Para entender a reforma e desvelar a circulação dos modelos pedagógicos nela contidos, foi analisado o papel desempenhado pelo presidente de Província como administrador dos negócios do Império e agente de controle e organização do Estado. Nesse sentido, foram estudadas as experiências desenvolvidas por Inglês de Sousa nas três Províncias em que assumiu cargos públicos (São Paulo, Sergipe e Espírito Santo). Procurou-se compreender o modelo escolar que Inglês de Sousa divulgou e a forma escolar proposta em suas reformas. A pesquisa aponta que a instrução pública reformada foi compreendida por Inglês de Sousa como a única esperança possível para a modernização do Brasil e caminho para integrar o Império ao nível do século . A reforma, como estratégia de modernização que ele empreendeu, foi produzida de acordo com suas convicções liberais e positivistas, sobre as virtudes da educação como fator de progresso, que não prescindia da necessária laicização do ensino. Desse modo, a Pedagogia Moderna que ele advoga em suas reformas é aquela que se fundamenta no ensino intuitivo e nas lições de coisas que ele vai designar como pedagogia experimental, pois, nesse modelo, a experiência sensível vinha em primeiro lugar, como um ensino concreto, contrário aos métodos que iniciavam a aprendizagem por noções abstratas

Carbon Credits are an important instrument of payment for environmental services. Although sustainable activities generally focus on carbon sequestration, they produce numerous other environmental services, such as rainfall cycle, biodiversity, soil fertility, etc. A model of economic-environmental management is proposed in this dissertation to give economic incentives to local producers and investors, in order to promote the production of environmental services. The tool for the generation of these services will be the SAF (Agroforestry System), although this model can be applied to other sustainable activities that aim both to the preservation of native forests, or the recovery of degraded areas. The simulation of the model considers the city of Presidente Figueiredo, in the state of Amazonas, Brazil. Two investment funds, managed by an finance institution, will be created. The Investment Fund for Families aims to pay the local farmers, for the environmental services provided, during the first years of production of SAF, while local producers do not receive any income from perennial crops. The Buyer s Security Fund aims to ensure the return of the investment paid by the buyers of environmental services. The exercise performed, simulating a SAF of an hectare with 370 trees, 16 quarterly payments of R$ 78.05 per hectare, or R$ 0.2109 per tree, can be made. From the 5th year on, no other payments for environmental services will be made, while local farmers will have only the income from their SAF. From the 7th year on, the local farmers will be able to pay for new trees, in new areas. The model will have a cycle of 18 years. At the end of the cycle the buyers, of environmental services, will receive the amount of R$6.84, from the Buyer s Security Fund; and the amount from the sale of the carbon credits, after the mentioned 18 years.
Créditos de carbono representam um importante instrumento de pagamentos por serviços ambientais. Embora foquem no seqüestro de carbono, as atividades sustentáveis que recebem investimentos por créditos de carbono produzem inúmeros outros serviços ambientais, tais como: ciclo de chuvas, biodiversidade, fertilidade do solo, etc. Propõe-se a criação de um modelo de gestão econômico-ambiental que dê incentivos econômicos a pequenos produtores locais e a investidores, com o intuito de fomentar a produção de serviços ambientais. A ferramenta para a geração destes serviços será o SAF (Sistema Agroflorestal), embora este modelo possa ser aplicado em outras atividades sustentáveis que objetivem tanto à preservação de áreas nativas, quanto à recuperação de áreas degradadas. São analisadas as condicionantes de risco de investimentos e geração de serviços ambientais. A simulação do modelo será aplicada no município de Presidente Figueiredo, no interior do Estado brasileiro do Amazonas. Serão criados dois fundos de investimentos, gerenciados por um agente de custódia. O Fundo de Investimentos às Famílias visa a pagar aos produtores locais, valores pertinentes ao serviço ambiental prestado, durante os primeiros anos de produção do SAF, enquanto os produtores locais não auferem renda alguma das culturas perenes. O Fundo de Segurança do Comprador visa a assegurar o retorno do investimento aplicado pelo comprador de serviços ambientais. Pelo exercício realizado, simulando um SAF de um hectare com 370 árvores (e/ou touceiras), é possível realizar 16 pagamentos trimestrais de R$78,05, por hectare, ou R$0,2109 por árvore. A partir do 5º ano, o pagamento por serviços ambientais é interrompido, dando lugar, somente, à renda auferida com a comercialização dos produtos do SAF. A partir do 7º ano, os agricultores poderão pagar pelo plantio de novas árvores em outros hectares. O modelo terá um ciclo de 18 anos. Ao final do ciclo será pago, ao comprador de serviços ambientais, ao valor presente, R$6,84 oriundos do Fundo de Segurança do Comprador; mais o valor que fora investido inicialmente, oriundo da comercialização dos créditos de carbono, admitindo-se a variação dos preços dos créditos de carbono, no tempo.

A expansão de áreas urbanas e os diferentes tipos de uso da terra, nestas áreas, causam modificações nas características naturais dos solos, pois no ambiente urbano há a ação de diversos processos mecânicos, como a retirada, transporte e deposição de materiais de diversas origens e composições. As alterações no solo são significativas, de forma que muitos países inseriram novas categorias de solos aos seus sistemas de classificação. No Brasil, os solos resultantes de ações antrópicas, foram conceituados como Antropossolos, caracterizados pelas alterações na paisagem e na composição física e química, incluindo a presença de artefatos e materiais contaminantes. Para realizar a caracterização e o mapeamento dos Antropossolos, inicialmente foi realizado o levantamento das características dos solos naturais, sua relação com os atributos do relevo no município de Presidente Prudente – SP, e o mapeamento preditivo de solos, com uso de redes neurais artificiais. A compreensão da relação existente entre os solos e os atributos do relevo derivados de um modelo digital de elevação forneceu informações para relacionar os principais padrões de ocorrência de tipos de solos aos atributos de elevação, declividade, curvatura do relevo, geoformas e aspecto. Entre as variáveis utilizadas para o mapeamento preditivo dos solos, as que tiveram destaque foram declividade e geoformas, apresentando similaridade de padrão de ocorrência. As áreas de ocorrência dos Neossolos estão, principalmente, relacionadas às áreas de declividades de 20% ou acima, os Latossolos têm padrão de ocorrência nas áreas com declividades inferiores a 8%, os Argissolos variam em declividades médias acima de 3% e abaixo de 20% e os solos hidromórficos (Gleissolos e Planossolos) estão localizados nos fundos de vale com declividades abaixo dos 3%. As redes neurais artificiais se mostraram uma técnica eficiente para o delineamento das unidades de solos e permitiram a identificação de componentes da paisagem por meio do estabelecimento de padrões gerados a partir das coletas de amostras. Com base nos atributos do relevo e do mapeamento preditivo dos solos foi realizada a caracterização das áreas de antigos depósitos de resíduos sólidos urbanos na área urbana de Presidente Prudente – SP, as quais estão predominantemente localizadas nos compartimentos de fundos de vale, em curvaturas côncavas, declividades de relevo ondulado e forte ondulado e em solos Argilosos e hidromóficos (Gleissolos e Planossolos). Os Antropossolos em antigas áreas de disposição de RSU são classificados no segundo nível como Líxicos, devido à presença de materiais orgânicos e artefatos de origem e composições diversas, e podem conter substâncias contaminantes. Para a classificação no terceiro e quarto níveis foi delimitada uma área de influência a partir de uma das antigas áreas de disposição de RSU, localizada no Parque Furquim. Foram realizadas análises granulométricas e de presença de metais pesados nos solos. Os elementos analisados foram Arsênio (As), Cádmio (Cd), Chumbo (Pb) e Crômio (Cr). Os resultados foram comparados com os Valores de Referência de Qualidade utilizados no estado de São Paulo, e indicaram a presença de Chumbo (Pb) e Crômio (Cr) acima dos Valores de Referência de Qualidade em alguns pontos, localizados à montante da área delimitada, em fundos de vale próximos ao curso d’água. A área foi classificada pela ocorrência de Antropossolos Líxicos Áquicos e Órticos com presença de elementos tóxicos e de Antropossolos potenciais. Por se tratar de um conceito recente, os estudos para o conhecimento das características dos Antropossolos, são fundamentais para a compreensão da sua dinâmica e para propor medidas de recuperação e de planejamento para o uso adequado.
The expansion of urban areas and different types of land use in these areas cause modifications in the natural characteristics of the soils, since in the urban environment there are several mechanical processes, such as the removal, transportation, and deposition of materials of various origins and compositions. The alterations in the soil are significant, with many countries inserting new soil categories into their classification systems. In Brazil, soils resulting from anthropic actions are considered as Anthroposols, characterized by changes in the landscape and physical and chemical composition, including the presence of artifacts and contaminating materials. In order to carry out the characterization and mapping of the Anthroposols, initially a survey of the characteristics of the natural soils was carried out, including their relation with the attributes of the relief in the municipality of Presidente Prudente - SP, and the predictive mapping of soils, using artificial neural networks. Understanding of the relationship between the soils and relief attributes derived from a digital elevation model provided information to relate the main patterns of occurrence of soil types to the attributes of elevation, slope, relief curvature, geoforms, and aspect. Among the variables used for the predictive mapping of soils, those that stood out were slope and geoforms, presenting similarities in patterns of occurrence. The areas of occurrence of the Neosols are mainly related to the slope areas of 20% or above, the Oxisols present a pattern of occurrence in areas with slopes lower than 8%, the Argisols vary in average slopes above 3% and below 20%, and the hydromorphic soils (Gleysols and Planosols) are located in valley bottoms with gradients below 3%. Artificial neural networks proved to be an efficient technique for the delineation of soil units and allowed identification of landscape components by establishing patterns generated from sample collections. Based on the attributes of soil relief and predictive mapping, characterization of areas of former urban solid waste deposits in the urban area of Presidente Prudente – SP was carried out, predominantly located in valley bottom compartments, in concave curves, slopes of undulating relief and strong undulation and in clayey and hydromorphic soils (Gleysols and Planosols). Anthroposols in former USW disposal areas are classified in the second level as Líxicos, due to the presence of organic materials and artifacts of various origins and compositions, which may contain contaminating substances. For classification in the third and fourth levels, an area of impact from one of the former USW disposal areas was delimited, located in Parque Furquim. Granulometric analyzes and evaluation of the presence of heavy metals in the soils were carried out. The analyzed elements were Arsenic (As), Cadmium (Cd), Lead (Pb), and Chromium (Cr). The results were compared with the Quality Reference Values used in the state of São Paulo and indicated the presence of Lead (Pb) and Chromium (Cr) above the Quality Reference Values at some points, located upstream of the delimited area, in valley bottoms near the watercourse. The area was classified by the occurrence of Líxicos Áquicos and Órticos Anthroposols with the presence of toxic elements and potential Anthroposols. As it is a recent concept, studies aiming to increase knowledge on the characteristics of Anthroposols are fundamental to the understanding of their dynamics and to propose measures of recovery and planning for appropriate use.

Abstract:
Atualmente, para obter um melhor desempenho na tomada de decisão, as empresas estão utilizando a informação geográfica, considerada essencial na resolução de problemas, e algumas ferramentas, como o geomarketing, que auxiliam neste processo e minimizam as possibilidades de erros. Mesmo que não utilizem ferramentas computacionais de georreferenciamento, os tomadores de decisão formam uma representação mental da distribuição geográfica de seus clientes e mercados, as quais são utilizadas no processo decisório, principalmente nas empresas cujas decisões estão intimamente relacionadas ao fator geográfico como as que atuam no ramo imobiliário. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi confrontar o modelo mental de profissionais do ramo imobiliário acerca da distribuição geodemográfica dos moradores urbanos de Presidente Prudente/SP com um mapa de distribuição, construído a partir do geomarketing, utilizando dados oficiais de escolaridade, renda e local de residência e verificar se existem fatores que expliquem diferenças entre essas representações mentais. Esta pesquisa teve caráter quantitativo descritivo e foi realizada por entrevistas com profissionais que atuam no ramo imobiliário de Presidente Prudente/SP. O mapa com a distribuição geodemográfica foi confeccionado a partir de dados do IBGE e dos softwares AutoCAD Map e ArcGIS e mediu-se o quanto a representação mental dos entrevistados se assemelha a esse mapa de dados oficiais. Por fim avaliou-se a relação entre esse nível de semelhança ou acerto e variáveis de perfil teoricamente relevantes na formação de modelos mentais, constatando-se que a experiência e a formação do indivíduo têm relação significativa com a precisão dos mapas mentais da população pesquisada.
Nowadays, in order to have a better performance in decision making, companies are using geographic information, considered essential in problem solution, as well as some tools, such as geomarketing, which can help in this process and minimize error possibilities. Even if they do not use georreferencing computational tools, the decision makers form a mental representation of the geographic distribution of their clients and markets, which are used in the decision process, especially in companies where decisions are intimately related to the geographic factor, such as real estate agencies. Considering this, the objective of this study was to confront the mental model of real estate agents concerning the geodemographic distribution of the urban population of the city of Presidente Prudente Sao Paulo State (Brazil) and a distribution map, elaborated through geomarketing, using official data about education background, income and place of residence, in order to verify if there are any factors that explain the differences of these mental representations. This research had described quantitative approach and was performed through interviews with professionals that work in the area of real estate agencies in the city of Presidente Prudente/SP. The map with the geodemographic distribution was elaborated using data from IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics) and the software AutoCAD Map and ArcGIS in order to measure how much of the mental representations of the interviewees and this official data map are alike. Finally, the relation between this level of similitude or correction and the profile variables theoretically relevant in the formation of mental models was analyzed. It was verified that the individual experience and level of instruction have significant relation with the precision of the mental maps of the researched population.

Partindo do pressuposto de que as cidades contemporâneas experimentaram a transição da sociedade da disciplina (caracterizada pela disciplinarização dos corpos) para a sociedade do controle (caracterizada pela disciplinarização das massas), analisamos como as novas técnicas disciplinares, dentre as quais se destacam aquelas relacionadas à organização espacial (em suas múltiplas escalas), se articulam para assegurar a manutenção do poder. A intensificação do exercício do controle social se dá através da produção de um sistema biopolítico de segurança, capaz de naturalizar e tornar aceitáveis, técnicas mais ostensivas de controle.

Assuming that contemporary cities experienced the transition from the disciplinary society (characterized by the disciplining of bodies) to the society of control (characterized by disciplining the masses). We analyzed the way in which new disciplinary techniques, among which stand out those related to the spatial organization (in its multiple scales), are articulated to securing power. The intensification of social control takes place through the production of a biopolitical security system, allowing aggressive control techniques to become natural and acceptable. Insecurity becomes an increasingly important dimension of production of urban space, while improving access to popular housing, in a process characterized by the emergence and rapid spread of popular residential spaces closed (ERPFEs) which, according hypothesis defended the doctoral thesis express and reproduce new forms of social control typical of the society of control. Its architectural style combines the simplicity of Brazilian affordable housing with the closing concept of fortified enclaves. They are small houses built next to each other, spatially arranged face to face. On the facade, windows and glass doors allow the observation both for those who move and those who remain inside their homes...

Abstract: Assuming that contemporary cities experienced the transition from the "disciplinary society" (characterized by the disciplining of bodies) to the "society of control" (characterized by disciplining the masses). We analyzed the way in which new disciplinary techniques, among which stand out those related to the spatial organization (in its multiple scales), are articulated to securing power. The intensification of social control takes place through the production of a biopolitical security system, allowing aggressive control techniques to become natural and acceptable. Insecurity becomes an increasingly important dimension of production of urban space, while improving access to popular housing, in a process characterized by the emergence and rapid spread of popular residential spaces closed (ERPFEs) which, according hypothesis defended the doctoral thesis express and reproduce new forms of social control typical of the "society of control". Its architectural style combines the simplicity of Brazilian affordable housing with the closing concept of "fortified enclaves". They are small houses built next to each other, spatially arranged face to face. On the facade, windows and glass doors allow the observation both for those who move and those who remain inside their homes...

Abstract:
The increasing complexity and high stakes of foreign policy decisions, especially of major powers such as the United States, have generated specialized studies of decision making. One approach, called "multiple advocacy," maps a strategy of role tasks and process norms to guide the decision-makers towards an optimal decision-making process. This process allows the President to make an informed policy choice as a result of having heard a variety of options debated freely and openly among his advisors in his presence. A crucial actor in this process is the National Security Advisor. As process manager or "custodian," he must ensure that the key provisions of the strategy are met while abstaining from personal involvement in the substance of policy advice and execution. This thesis examines the internal coherence and usefulness of the strategy. The first two years of the Carter administration provide a close approximation of the strategy. Four important policy issues during this period form the empirical basis of this test: the "Deep Cuts" proposals in SALT II, the war in the Horn of Africa, Sino-American Normalization, and the fall of the Shah of Iran. While the basic principles of the strategy are found useful and sound, several of its provisions are challenged. First, in spite of its claim, the strategy does not produce multiple options when the advisors have no wide divergence of opinion. Second, contrary to the strategy's prescriptions, the custodian can improve the process in such situations by joining the policy debate. Third, custodial engagement in activities such as diplomacy and public speaking need not be prohibited too strictly. Last, the demise of the strategy can be more narrowly defined as the result of custodial disregard for a free flow of information and open participation among the advisors. Though further studies are needed to widen the empirical base, several tentative suggestions are offered to improve the strategy. The president must insist on a reasonable range of opinions when appointing advisors. While the National Security Advisor may join the policy debate to widen the range of options, his policy advice should not become the rule. At all times the President must insist that all policy debates among his advisors be brought to his attention, and that all policy options receive a fair hearing.

Determina la relación entre la evaluación del modelo de gestión administrativo y la calidad de los servicios educativos que presta la Institución Educativa “Presidente Jaime Roldós Aguilera” de la parroquia 9 de mayo de la ciudad de Machala periodo lectivo 2014-2015. La gestión administrativa está ligada a la planificación ya que de eso depende el desarrollo institucional para proyectarnos al futuro deseado y los medios efectivos para conseguirlos, impulsando la conducción escolar hacia determinadas metas para garantizar un servicio de calidad en la educación. Como también cada institución es encargada de visualizar su postura filosófica, psicológica, pedagógica con la finalidad de conseguir el objetivo deseado siempre en armonía con el marco filosófico, con un equipo humano dispuesto a cambiar el rumbo de la educación, direccionadas con un buen gerente educativo. Al hablar de una organización se tiene que mencionar que todas pasan por el proceso administrativo: planeación, organización, dirección y control; indiscutiblemente el papel dominante y decisivo lo juega la alta gerencia o el mando directivo ya que es él quien debe estar involucrado para definir el rumbo de la organización ya que todo proceso sirve para ofrecer resultados que se ven reflejados en la toma de decisiones y esta lleva a posicionar a la organización en su ramo. Los principales hallazgos de esta investigación son que ante una mejor evaluación del modelo de gestión administrativa se da una mejor calidad del servicio educativo que presta la Institución Educativa “Presidente Jaime Roldós Aguilera”. Existe un buen desempeño, un óptimo aprendizaje significativo y las estrategias según los docentes son favorables en la institución educativa “PJRA”.

Abstract:
This qualitative case study was designed to determine the perceptions about female leadership among female faculty and administrators at East Tennessee State University. Participants were asked about the motivating and prohibiting factors (barriers) that affected their leadership capabilities at the institution. They cited motivating factors that led them to optimal performance. These included family support, mentoring practices, affirmative action, collegial working atmosphere, support from the top leadership, and encouragement from their colleagues. The dissertation was also to investigate how female leaders perceived their leadership roles and the factors that enhanced female leadership and the barriers that hindered female leadership at ETSU. The women in this study talked about the impediments or barriers of their upward movement. These included salaries that were lower than those of their male colleagues, stereotyped thinking within the community with biases against females, family chores vis-à-vis work schedules, sexual discrimination, lack of role models, etc. The findings were: (a) Female leadership was uniquely relationship-oriented; (b) female leaders combined work and family and managed the two fairly well; (c) female leaders were more likely to mentor other women but also were often mentored by men; (d) female leaders worked at a more relaxed pace with details in mind and did not have the target of the big picture as a priority; (e) they worked hard to attain the positions previously held by men and are now at par in higher positions both in faculty and administration; (f) they worked hard to surmount the barriers placed in their way as they moved up the ladder in faculty and administrative positions; (g) they volunteered for positions in the staff and faculty senates without considering financial gains; (h) they were the majority in the lower ranks of the administrative ladder of the university and played crucial supportive roles; and (i) their leadership styles were more humanitarian and on the relationship philosophy than were the leadership styles of their male counterparts.

Abstract:
Amid increasing trends of market concentration and corporate political activity in the United States, this thesis takes a quantitative approach to evaluating Luigi Zingales’ political theory of the firm. Using data from the Economic Census and from the Center for Responsive Politics, I find that concentration as measured by four and eight largest firms’ share of establishments exhibits a significant positive relationship to corporate lobbying at the intensive margin. On the other hand, concentration as measured by four and eight largest firms’ share of employment exhibits a significant negative relationship on politically active firms’ decision to lobby at the extensive margin. Through drawing upon existing quantitative literature on this subject, I conclude that Zingales’ theory remains sound and its implications on the political economy of the United States are bleak. Further research should look into politically feasible policy solutions to this troubling relationship.

The research is focused on the development of theoretical provisions and practical recommendations to improve public administration mechanisms in the field of children's homelessness and neglect counteraction in Ukraine. The fundamental scientific approaches to the study of the children's homelessness and neglect phenomenon are under study, the conceptual and categorial system of concerning the problem is under consideration, the essence of the main concepts is revealed and the author’s definitions are put forward. The state and tendencies of children's homelessness and neglect in Ukraine is analysed, the causes of children's homelessness and neglect to Ukraine at present are revealed and classified. The system of principles of the state executive power body activities in the field of children's homelessness and neglect prevention is complemented. The basic issues and contradictions arising in the state system of counteraction of children's homelessness and neglect in Ukraine are characterized. The preventive character of children's homelessness and neglect counteraction governmental mechanisms functioning is proved and the children's homelessness and neglect preventive model is suggested. The necessity of developing an interdepartmental coordination in the field of children's homelessness and neglect counteraction by means of granting corresponding powers the ombudsman for children under the President of Ukraine is proved.

Abstract:
This dissertation examines the use of statistical models for prediction. Examples are drawn from public policy and chosen because they represent pressing problems facing U.S. governments at the local, state, and federal level. The first five chapters provide examples where the perfunctory use of linear models, the prediction tool of choice in government, failed to produce reasonable predictions. Methodological flaws are identified, and more accurate models are proposed that draw on advances in statistics, data science, and machine learning. Chapter 1 examines skyscraper construction, where the normality assumption is violated and extreme value analysis is more appropriate. Chapters 2 and 3 examine presidential approval and voting (a leading measure of civic participation), where the non-collinearity assumption is violated and an index model is more appropriate. Chapter 4 examines changes in temperature sensitivity due to global warming, where the linearity assumption is violated and a first-hitting-time model is more appropriate. Chapter 5 examines the crime rate, where the independence assumption is violated and a block model is more appropriate. The last chapter provides an example where simple linear regression was overlooked as providing a sensible solution. Chapter 6 examines traffic fatalities, where the linear assumption provides a better predictor than the more popular non-linear probability model, logistic regression. A theoretical connection is established between the linear probability model, the influence score, and the predictivity.

Abstract:
This thesis presents and analyses the process of impeachment relating to the Presidents of European Union Member States. The thesis presents and analyses individual constitutional models of impeachment across Member States based on the constitutional players involved in the impeachment process, who decides on the initiation of the whole process and how, under what conditions the impeachment process can be initiated, for what offences the President can be impeached, which authorities have the power to decide on the outcome of the complaint, what penalties the President faces and whether it is possible to reverse the decision of these authorities in some way. The thesis also analyses impeachment processes that have taken place against European Presidents thus far, namely, the impeachment of Lithuanian President Paksas, Romanian President Basescu and the only attempt at a constitutional complaint to date against Czech President Václav Klaus. Three main models of impeachment can be identified in the framework of European constitutions, depending on which authority has the power to remove the President from office. Most European countries use the judicial model where the President is removed from office at the decision of a judicial authority. Judicial authorities can be of a dual nature. They can be...
