Abstract:

This is a case study and analysis of the Justice Institute of British Columbia, a Board-governed provincial post-secondary institute. Under contract to various provincial government ministries, the Justice Institute's five Academies and two central Divisions train municipal police, provincial court and correctional employees, fire service personnel, ambulance attendants and provincial emergency program personnel, and provide programs for professionals and the public in the areas of justice and public safety. Although the proposed organization was conceived to meet training and educational needs that existed under the umbrella of the Ministry of Attorney-General, shortly before its formal establishment the Justice Institute was captured by the proposed Colleges and Provincial Institutes Act and now came under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education. Two fundamental issues emerged from the case study: jurisdictional ambiguity, involving the relation between the Justice Institute and the Ministries of Education and Attorney-General; and internal organization, involving the relation between the five Academies and the central Justice Institute administrative structure. These emergent issues were found to be primarily structural in origin. Therefore a structural analysis was conducted, based on Mintzberg's "extended configuration hypothesis," which identifies and explains fundamental relationships among organizational design parameters and characteristics of the environment in which the organization exists. Within Mintzberg's framework the Justice Institute was identified as a divisionalized form. The case study and emergent issues were analyzed in relation to the main characteristics of the divisionalized form. In the context of jurisdictional ambiguity, it was found that decentralized internal structural relationships, and client grouping as opposed to functional grouping, may have been key factors in the survival of the Justice Institute in a period of environmental turbulence during the early to mid 1980s, and in its demonstrated effectiveness in fulfilling its organizational mission. It was further found that a strong central structure was required to stabilize the Justice Institute, particularly at times when the environment was inimical to the continued existence of the Justice Institute. It was suggested that this apparent contradiction lay at the roots of the instability of the early organization. The study recommended that the Justice Institute recognize the weaknesses, and build upon the strengths, of the divisionalized form. Further, it found Mintzberg's extended configuration hypothesis to be an effective instrument for performing a structural analysis of an organization.

Full text

Abstract:

This dissertation is concerned with how societies in transition respond to past violation by focusing on how Ethiopia has dealt with gross violations committed during the repressive regime of a military junta called the Dergue – meaning Committee. It is widely believed that transitional justice processes play a significant transformative role in societies in transition. Based on a case study of the process and impact of prosecution of Dergue officials and their affiliates, this dissertation demonstrates that transitional criminal justice processes may not necessarily transform a society to a new social and political identity that essentially departs from a repressive past. The study discusses and analyzes the theory of transitional justice emphasizing the discourses on the meaning and significance of the main components of transitional justice – justice, truth, reparation and reconciliation – and relates these discourses to the Ethiopian experience. The study is qualitative, employing both primary data (primarily in-depth interview), and secondary data including literature (on Ethiopian history, law and politics), laws both national and international, court cases, and various reports including those of courts and the prosecution office. In the Ethiopian context, the arguments in support of prosecution resonate with the general theoretical arguments that it is necessary to render justice, establish rule of law, ensure accountability, serve as deterrence, and generally serve as a foundation for a new political and social identity. However, whether prosecution or prosecution alone was an appropriate response in the Ethiopian context is a contested issue. Secondly, the legal framework for prosecution and its implementation are also problematic. Thus, this study shows the problematic nature of transitional justice processes as carried out in Ethiopian social and political context in terms of both bringing closure to the past and playing a transformative role, and thereby showing the complex and contested nature of transitional justice itself.

Minton, Sylvia S. "The nature of peer coaching at a National Writing Project summer institute." Thesis, The University of Texas at San Antonio, 2015. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3702341.

Full text

Abstract:

Peer coaching is an alternative form of professional development in which teachers coach other teachers in the development of their practice. Studies have shown that teachers who have participated in a peer-coaching model have a higher rate of transfer of skill when compared to teachers who do not participate in this type of model. Although peer coaching has been proven to be effective, there is a lack of research documenting peer coaching interactions, how peers establish trust, and how they perceive peer coaching to impact their instruction. Analyzing how peers interact and what they say to each other to move instruction forward is therefore, important to understanding how school leaders and program directors can set up their environments to encourage these types of interactions.

The participants for this study enrolled in a National Writing Project summer institute. The data set for this study included semi-structured interviews, stimulated recall interviews, and digital entries relevant to the inquiry. To identify the codes, categories, and themes emerging from the data set, this study used constant comparative analysis.

Findings from this study suggest that informal interactions are just as important as formal interactions in building trust between peer coaches. Findings also suggest the importance of the writing group as paramount and purposeful for both composing and teaching writing. Findings also suggest that trust is built quickly in an environment such as a National Writing Project summer institute. Participants felt a sense of comfort when they were able to attend this summer institute with somebody that they already knew, believing that this helped them in establishing an initial level of comfort that served as a springboard for building additional relationships. Future research could continue to analyze both formal and informal interactions at the summer institute to revise a model of peer coaching that would assist program leaders in developing and enhancing the interactions between participants.

Abstract:

The intent of this degree paper is to describe and analyze problems of inefficiency in personnel administration in the Personnel Direction of the National Institute of Housing in Venezuela. The paper includes a general description of the National Institute of Housing, the actual structure and functions of the Personnel Direction as well as the functions of those divisions and departments attached to it. The study draws attention to those existent inefficiencies in personnel administration and authority distribution. The study found that public employees at the National Institute of Housing are not regulated by the provisions of the Administrative Career Law designed as a guide for the Venezuelan public administration system. Consequently, Public employees are laid off every five years, employees are not selected on merit basis, employees are promoted through political patronage and personal alliances, and they are paid inadequately. Furthermore, the Personnel Direction lacks sufficient delegated authority in the administration of personnel. The main sources of information were a combination of secondary sources and the writer's observation during his tenure as head of the department of classification and remuneration within the Personnel Direction. Included in this study are proposed reforms in the above mentioned areas in an attempt to help create a better and more efficient public administration system. The suggested reforms address the inequities of the Personnel Direction and are proposed as corrective measures for the Personnel Direction's present ineffective policies in recruitment, selection, promotion, authority distribution, and call for the enforcement of the Administrative Career Law.

PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIRO
A tese busca demonstrar que a atuação do Conselho Nacional de Justiça criou um novo equilíbrio interno entre os órgãos do Poder Judiciário nacional. Para isso estabelece os padrões gerais dos institutos da Democracia, da Separação de Poderes, da Jurisdição e dos institutos da independência dos juizes, dos poderes processuais, da conduta individual externa e interna. A partir desses parâmetros estabelece um exame da estrutura atual do Poder Judiciário, com incursão na formação histórica, o que explica algumas das características atuais dos problemas que são enfrentados, como a demora na prestação jurisdicional e a conduta dos juizes. Focalizam-se os Princípios de Conduta Judicial discutidos e formalizados em Bangalore, Índia e que constituem um marco fundamental para a atividade dos juizes em todo o mundo. Como um documento de natureza diplomática, busca conciliar as diversas tradições jurídicas, quer européias ou americanas ou de outra influência, como Índia, Malásia e paises africanos. Também ocorre a análise dos princípios éticos aplicados no Brasil. No capitulo final adentra pela análise da atuação do Conselho Nacional de Justiça, fincando suas raízes históricas, inclusive como fruto do processo de globalização, capitaneado pelo Banco Mundial, examinando os diversos casos enfrentados pelo Conselho e enfatizando aqueles de maior repercussão para o equilíbrio interno dos órgãos do Poder Judiciário. Conclui-se que o CNJ é o guardião da administração do Poder Judiciário nacional e que o controle dos seus atos, realizado somente pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal, tem redundado em sua legitimação, o que é resultado da análise dos diversos precedentes examinados no curso da pesquisa.
The thesis seeks to demonstrate that the performance of the National Council of Justice has created a new balance between the internal organs of the national judiciary. For that establishes the general standards of the institutes of democracy, the Separation of Powers, Jurisdiction and the institutes of independent judges, procedural powers, the conduct of individual external and internal. From these parameters provides an examination of the current structure of the Judiciary, to foray into the historical background, which explains some of the current characteristics of the problems that are faced, as the delay in the court and the conduct of judges. They focus the Principles of Judicial Conduct discussed and formalized in Bangalore, India and constitute a milestone for the activity of judges around the world. As a document of a diplomatic nature, seeks to reconcile the different legal traditions, whether European or American or other influence, such as India, Malaysia and African countries. It also occurs to analyze the ethical principles applied in Brazil. In the final chapter enters by analyzing the activity of the National Council of Justice, deeply rooted historical, including as a result of globalization, led by the World Bank, examining the different situations faced by the Council and those emphasizing the greater impact to the internal balance of bodies of the Judiciary. We conclude that the CNJ is the guardian of the administration of the judiciary and the national control of their actions, carried out only by the Supreme Court, has resulted in his legitimation, which is a result of the analysis of several previous research examined the course of.

Professional development of in-service teachers continues to increase, but not all programs are successful in promoting teacher learning and student improvement. This qualitative study offers an examination of how one professional development program, The National Writing Project, with its teachers-teaching-teachers model is making a difference. The National Writing Project is one of the longest running, most cost-efficient, and most successful professional development programs in education. The purpose of this study was to identify factors influencing teacher transformation. Five areas were addressed: (1) the identification of transformation factors; (2) the relationship of personal literacy as it affects professional change; (3) being a member of a learning community and how it affects personal learning; (4) being a member of a learning community and how it affects professional learning; and (5) the role of spirituality in transformation. The setting was the National Writing Project's Invitational Summer Institute as it examined how fellows, first time participants, perceived their learning. Participants were from 17 different writing project sites across the United States. Data collection involved three distinct sources: (1) selection of participant and rationale provided by site directors of writing project sites; (2) audio-taped long interviews of each participant; and, (3) a follow-up focus group conducted in an electronic discussion board. The findings highlighted an interweaving of five factors influencing teacher transformation: (1) identification and application of knowledge for self and students; (2) reflection of learning and practice; (3) collaboration; (4) active and on-going involvement; and, (5) supportive and safe environment. When these five transformative factors are designed and implemented in the professional development of teacher in-service, teachers are provided an opportunity to personally learn which leads to professional learning and improved instruction for student learning. Excerpts from each data collection, recommendations for future research, and appendices to replicate the study are provided.

Berry, Dominic Joseph. "Genetics, statistics, and regulation at the National Institute of Agricultural Botany, 1919-1969." Thesis, University of Leeds, 2014. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/7813/.

Full text

Abstract:

The National Institute of Agricultural Botany, founded in 1919 and still operating today from its same Cambridge headquarters, is one of Britain’s oldest agricultural science institutes. Using the extensive and hitherto unexamined archive materials held by NIAB, this thesis offers both a new history of the Institute from 1919 to 1969, and an analysis of that history in the light of wider historiographies of science. It is well known that state patronage of science in Britain entered a new phase towards the end of the nineteenth century. The number of national laboratories, organisations, and institutions dedicated to scientific work grew rapidly, as did the number of professional scientists. The agricultural sciences and their institution’s benefited as much, if not more, from the state’s newfound interest in science, and yet hardly anything at all is known about them. This historiographical oversight is all the more troubling when one considers the changes that took place within British agriculture and the global food industry at this time. The thesis makes three important new points in particular. Firstly, that scientific regulatory bodies (often marginalized in preference for basic research centres) offer a valuable new perspective for historians interested in relations between science and the state. Secondly, that the techniques used during regulation and assessment (which draw upon the latest scientific developments and theories), can reveal a great deal about an institution’s social location. Finally, appreciating the perspective on variation and heredity held by agricultural scientists and plant breeders, one which will be shown to be quite different from more general biologists, offers solutions and problems for contemporary historiography on issues ranging from the impact of Mendelism on plant breeding to the history of plant patenting.

Tallgren, Eva. "The Concept of'European Citizenship': National Experiences and Post-National Expectations?" Thesis, Linköping University, Department of Management and Economics, 2003. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:liu:diva-2004.

Full text

Abstract:

The aim of this thesis is to interpret and understand the concept of citizenship in general, and the European citizenship in particular, placed within a broad theoretical framework. Furthermore, the purpose is to examine whether the development of a European citizenship indicates an emergence of a new ‘post-national’ model of citizenship, based on residence rather than nationality or place of birth. In order to address this, the status of third- country nationals (TCN’s), who are legally long-term residents within the Union, in relation to EU citizens has been analysed from the theoretical perspectives.

Different models of citizenship provide the paper with a theoretical framework, through which the empirical data has been examined. The theoretical approaches dealt with in this paper are the liberal, the republican/communitarian and the ‘post-national’ models of citizenship respectively. Fundamental ‘key concepts’ have been derived from these different models of citizenship, which have facilitated the analysis by providing the interpretation of the EU citizenship with an analytical framework.

To find answers to the initial research questions and fulfil the aim of the paper, a qualitative and hermeneutic study has been carried out, aiming at interpreting and understanding the European citizenship placed within its socio-political context. Text and language constitute the units of analysis and, hence, a textual analysis has been conducted of official EU documents. Following a conceptual history approach, concepts are not just reflections of historical processes, but can themselves contribute to historical change by making new things imaginable. As emphasised throughout the paper, concepts embrace at the same time a ‘space of experience’ and a ‘horizon of expectation’.

The main conclusions drawn from the research can be summarised in a number of points. First, while the concept of European citizenship was originally connected to a formal and economic view upon citizenship, close to a liberal/neo-liberal notion of citizenship, the texts express an aim of a more active citizenship, emphasised in the republican/communitarian tradition. Secondly, despite a multicultural and post-national rhetoric concerning the status of long-term resident TCN’s, the gaining of ‘full’ EU citizenship can still only be attained through nationality in a Member State. Thirdly, the importance of interpreting a concept placed within its socio-political context has been clear from the study. The semantic analysis has showed a close link between the European citizenship andthe goal to create an ‘area of freedom, security and justice’ throughout the Union. This goal is interpreted as a response to recent occurrences in the world, but at the same time it expresses expectations about the EU citizenship, and it can thus itself affect future developments in this field.

To sum up, while the concept of European citizenship is post-national to the extent that it applies to all EU citizens irrespective of where in the Union they live, it is still not completely based on the principle of residence. Only nationals of an EU Member State can obtain citizenship of the Union. Thus, the concept of European citizenship, while establishing a citizenship across national borders, is still based on nationality.

Full text

Abstract:

In exploring how to decisively address global poverty the question of what should be the content of nations’ global justice duties has been debatable. Nationalism has usually been regarded as incompatible with cosmopolitanism. It is against extending principles of social justice to the entire globe as cosmopolitanism demands on the grounds that the global context lacks the special attachments that generate national solidarity which is regarded as what ensures distributive justice realizable. For nationalism there cannot be motivation for global distributive justice since this solidarity is only national. As such the nationalist perspective holds that only humanitarian obligations constitute global justice duties. Nationalists also restrict global justice duties to humanitarian assistance due to the fact that nations have a moral obligation to respect another nation’s political culture’s values manifested in the type of national policies they pursue. For nationalists fulfilling the moral requirement of mutual respect of nations’ political cultures would entail letting nations face the consequences of their preferred choices which in some cases lead to poverty. Only when a humanitarian crisis looms do other nations have moral obligations of helping out. Cosmopolitanism agrees with the idea of respecting nations’ right to self-determination and letting nations face consequences of their choices. However it demands the precondition that the background context in which the self-determination is exercised should be just and fair. This demands that before nations respect poor nations’ political cultures the global cooperation which interferes with the exercise of self-determination should be rid of its interference tendencies that negatively restrict nations’ choices. It further demands that nations’ political cultures that are harmful to individuals by subjecting them to poverty ought to be reformed. What cosmopolitanism demands is that there should be a new understanding of nationalism with respect to the individual as the ultimate unit of moral concern. It also regards the lack of solidarity on the globe context as a resolvable challenge that would be faced in the implementation of global justice in the non-ideal real life. It does not in any way invalidate the moral worth of cosmopolitan principles of justice.

Abstract:

The purpose of my research is to diagnose the organizational culture of the National Institute for Educational Development [NIED] , in particular to determine whether it is conducive to innovation, as was envisaged at the time of its inception. The diagnosis of NIED's organizational culture was done by using a hybrid qualitative and quantitative case study. A questionnaire, the Cameron and Quinn's Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument [OCAI], was given to all professional members at NIED, while six members of the NIED organization were interviewed. It emerged from the data, first, that the characteristics of the dominant NIED culture, using Cameron and Quinn's six dimensions of culture that produced an "overall culture profile" of NIED, are not likely to enhance innovativeness. Nevertheless, there is a strong preference towards a culture type favourable to innovation. Second, there are cultural factors antithetical to an innovative organizational culture. These include poor information flow and a lack of communication, negligible crossfunction interaction and freedom, and constraining hierarchical and bureaucratic structures. Third, NIED has, in the form of a "green paper," a set of critical norms, values and assumptions that characterize the culture of innovative organizations. Finally, there is evidence of the presence of cultural characteristics conducive to an innovative organizational culture. These include: learning how to learn; being pro-active in initiating change and innovativeness; and sustaining momentum, consistency and perseverance. The discrepancy between the existing organizational culture and the preferred organizational culture revealed by the overall cultural profile can be explained by the fact that the norms, values and assumptions that characterize the culture of innovative organizations and the cultural characteristics conducive to an innovative organizational culture are not fully infused into the whole organization. There is a tension between NIED's bureaucratic nature and its innovative mission. Organizational culture change, where NIED's structures and processes are aligned with its espoused vision and mission, is needed in order for it to be better placed to achieve its original pioneering mandate.

Abstract:

With the adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the relevance of the notion of sustainable development – that bridges environmental, economic and social dimensions - has risen to the status of programme for the international community. In this framework, a “fourth”, legal leg of sustainable development has been envisioned as a necessary complement to realise the 2030 Agenda, through the role of inclusive and effective institutions. The role of tribunals and of access to justice assumes a significance insofar as it guarantees the respect of the rule of law that has been highlighted as the fundamental aspect for achieving sustainable development. In this regard, experiences of national implementation of the principle of sustainable development in the field of human rights are crucial for understanding current developments and for studying legal systems that are mutually influencing and reinforcing each other. Concerning the guarantee of environmental rights, three main strategies can be outlined: the maintenance of general jurisdictions; the establishment of “green benches” as sections of ordinary tribunals dealing with environmental cases; the creation of specialised tribunals, with experts in scientific subjects and judges specifically trained in this field. In light of its experience of “low-yielding” judicial institutions, characterised by delays, backlogs and insufficient capacities of case management, India undoubtedly constitutes one of the leading cases for assessing the validity of institutional measures aimed at the application of the concept of sustainable development in the legal field. In this regard, the Parliament of India chose to pursue the third path and enacted the National Green Tribunal Act in 2010. The experience of India is thus analysed considering, on the one hand, the constitutional framework embodied in the protection of environmental rights within the right to life enshrined in Article 21 of the Constitution, with Articles 48A and 51A(g) and, on the other hand, the interpretation of the courts regarding international law principles (sustainable development, polluter pays and precautionary principle), that are statutorily applied by the National Green Tribunal. The thesis thus analyses the advantages brought forward by the newly established tribunal - expanded access to tribunals, through new rules and a more flexible procedure; enhanced expertise due to the change in the composition of courts; consistency in decisions, thanks to the specialisation - as well as possible drawbacks caused by the resort to creeping jurisdiction and by the monopolisation of the interpretation of sustainable development by a single environmental court.

Full text

Abstract:

This qualitative naturalistic descriptive case study provides an understanding of the characteristics of a community of practice within a National Writing Project Invitational Summer Institute. This study utilized naturalistic, descriptive case study methodology to answer the research question: What characteristics of a community of practice are revealed by the perceptions and experiences of the fellows of a National Writing Project Invitational Summer Institute? Data were gathered in the form of interviews, focus group, observations, field notes, and participant reflective pieces. Peer debriefing, triangulation, thick rich description, as well as member checking served to establish credibility and trustworthiness in the study. Bracketing, a phenomenological process of reflecting on one's own experiences of the phenomenon under investigation was utilized as well. The findings of this study point to five analytic themes. These themes, ownership and autonomy, asset-based environment, relationships, socially constructed knowledge and practices, and experiential learning, intertwine to illuminate the three essential components which must be present for a community of practice to exist: joint enterprise, mutual engagement, and shared repertoire. Participants' portraits provide a description of their unique experiences as they moved fluidly between the periphery and core of the community of practice.

Full text

Abstract:

The thesis contextualises the state of transitional justice, elite outlooks and militarisation in Zimbabwe, whilst drawing attention to the complexities of achieving this reality. The study draws from transitional justice, civil-military relations, as well as the political settlements literature as analytical frameworks. Essentially, the study poses two key questions: How does studying transitional justice and elite culture help pre-plan for strategies to professionalise the military and reallocate civic-political duties to citizens should Zimbabwe transition out of authoritarianism? Once achieved, how can this be sustained towards socio-economic development? The study also tackles questions of justice and impunity whilst framing client-patron relations amongst the elite as impediments to progress. Amidst cyclical episodes of violation, the thesis links the denial of justice through amnesties, corruption, and further violence, to the politics of policing memory and trauma. This is analysed within the scope of the late Robert Mugabe regime as well as the current Emmerson Mnangagwa regime – both of which are inherited legacies from the Ian Smith regime. The intricacies of elite networks and accumulation are then laid out, culminating in deliberations on how to navigate prospects for reform, in understanding the politics of non-recurrence when contextualising systemic as well as physical violence. The thesis aims to contribute to ongoing discussions on political leadership, national healing, and institutional reform in Zimbabwe.

Abstract:

Uganda has reached a peace agreement with the leaders of the LRA, indicted by the ICC, in which they would be tried by national tribunals and serve “alternative sentences”. The LRA demands the withdrawal of the ICC warrants as a pre-condition to any settlement. While this peace proposal may not satisfy the admissibility regime of the Rome Statute, this thesis argues that in certain circumstances the ICC Prosecutor could defer to accountability mechanisms falling short of formal prosecution and punishment if it is in the “interests of justice” to do so pursuant to Article 53 of the Rome Statute. The ICC OTP must however develop a policy on the application of this discretionary criterion which remains undefined, preferably in the form of prosecutorial guidelines. A pluralist interpretation of the “interests of justice” is most consistent with the objectives of the Rome Statute, the complementary nature of the ICC and the unique context of each situation of mass atrocity.
Le règlement de paix entre le gouvernement ougandais et le LRA, prévoit que les chefs de ce dernier, accusés devant la CPI, seraient poursuivis devant des tribunaux nationaux et feraient face à des peines «alternatives ». Les chefs du LRA requièrent que ces mandats soient retirés afin de signer une entente. Bien que la proposition ougandaise ne puisse satisfaire au régime d’admissibilité prévu dans le Statut de Rome, cette thèse prétend que dans certaines circonstances, le Procureur de la CPI pourrait arrêter les procédures afin de permettre le déroulement de procédures nationales qui ne constituent pas de la justice formelle, et ce dans les « intérêts de la justice » prévus à l’Article 53. Le Procureur devra développer une politique l’application de ce critère discrétionnaire, plus particulièrement dans l’adoption de lignes directrices. Cette thèse argue qu’afin d’atteindre les objectifs de la CPI, de respecter sa nature complémentaire ainsi que pour reconnaître la nature unique de chaque situation d’atrocités, le Procureur devrait adopter une interprétation pluraliste des « intérêts de la justice ».

Abstract:

Magister Administrationis - MAdmin
In this dissertation, I problematize 'victim's justice' in post-genocide Rwanda. I argue that the kind of justice that was meted out in post-genocide Rwanda, namely victors' justice and complementary to it – victims’ justice, does not allow for the political reform required to break the cycle of violence in Rwanda. In the aftermath of the 1994-Rwandan Genocide, both state and society were faced with a moral and political dilemma, because the popular agency or mass participation of perpetrators derived from the Hutu majority, who targeted the Tutsi minority, with intent to annihilate them. There were massacres of both Hutus and Tutsis, but Hutus were targeted as individuals, whereas Tutsis were targeted as a group. It is the specific ‘intent to annihilate’ Tutsis as group, that makes this a Genocide against Tutsis. I draw and develop arguments made by Mahmood Mamdani, elaborating on the specific question of ‘victims justice’ for political reform in Rwanda. Both kinds of justice were outcomes of the logic of the Nuremburg Trials. Since its inception, the legacy of the Nuremburg Trial is demonstrated in how it was idealized at the end of the Cold-War by international law and human rights regime. In essence, the historical and political context of the Nuremburg trial has been removed, as it has been produced into a template- the 'Nuremburg-styled criminal trial'. 'Criminal justice' has come to define how we think of justice after mass violence, as the most morally acceptable form of justice for the victims, and the most politically viable response for constituting a 'new political order' after mass violence. This dissertation addresses the argument made, that victors' justice and victims' justice in Rwanda, has constituted two categories, which collectivise Tutsis as victims and Hutus as perpetrators. In the context of a genocide, where the perpetrators are derived from the Hutu majority and the victims from the Tutsi minority, this present both a moral and political dilemma for Rwanda’s state-building and national reconciliation project. Criminal justice also frames mass violence as being criminal, rather than addressing it as political violence. This has troubling consequences for intervening into the cycle of violence in Rwanda. The 'cycle of violence' in Rwanda, refers to the continuation of political violence, in which 'every round of perpetrators has justified the use of violence as the only effective guarantee against being victimised yet again. Thus, intervention into the cycle of violence would mean thinking out of the logic of victimhood and pursuing an alternative kind of justice. To think of the genocide as political violence, redirects the attention to the issues that made the genocide possible. I establish the importance and necessity of critically interrogating 'victims justice' in Rwanda, by placing the 1994-Genocide in its historical and political context, with a particular focus on the legacy of colonialism. The post-colonial regimes in Rwanda, inherited the colonial institutions of rule; and the politicisation of Hutu and Tutsi into racial categories, which have shaped particular meanings for power, justice and citizenship. I demonstrate in this dissertation that critical issues found in post-genocide Rwanda today, are symptomatic of the inherited colonial legacy. I address the prevailing political crisis through an analysis on post-genocide governance; national reconciliation; the 'land question'; and the Great Lakes refugee crisis. Furthermore, I found that it was critically important for my research question, to also adopt a regional perspective, because Rwanda lies at the epicentre of the Great Lakes regional crisis. This dissertation concludes with returning to the question of political reform, and breaking the 'cycle of violence'. My suggestion is that we need to think of Mamdani's concept of survivor's justice, rather than victims' justice or victors' justice, which assist in confronting the needs of political reform that address colonial legacies.

Abstract:

Politics of History in Poland have become the central theme of the Government of Law and Justice in the 2005 - 2007 period. The thesis deals with the definition of the term Politics of History and the term as understood by Law and Justice. The new direction of Politics of History prompted a lively debate in Poland between both Polish historians and the general public. The paper describes how the government conducted this policy and the tools utilized. One of their main motives was the delimitation of political developments in the country after 1989 and the lack of dealing with the communist past. For this reason, one of the subchapters of the work is devoted to significant historical discussions between 1989 and 2005. The central figures of the new direction of historical politics in Poland were brothers Jarosław and Lech Kaczyński, who had the greatest influence on the promotion of this policy in public discourse. In conclusion, the results of the two-year enforcement of historical politics.

Abstract:

Celem badawczym rozprawy doktorskiej było udzielenie odpowiedzi na dwa zasadnicze pytania, a mianowicie: 1. jaką rolę odegrała instytucja przedawnienia karalności w zakresie normatywnych prób rozliczenia przestępczej działalności funkcjonariuszy PRL, towarzyszących polskiej transformacji ustrojowej z końca XX w.?; 2. czy zasadne jest postrzeganie przez przedstawicieli teorii i praktyki prawa przedawnienia karalności jako instytucji należącej do prawa karnego materialnego? Rozdział I poświęcony został problematyce „sprawiedliwości transformacyjnej” i jej znaczeniu dla współczesnego prawa karnego w okresach zmian ustrojowych. Przedstawiono genezę i rozwój tej koncepcji oraz modele sprawiedliwości transformacyjnej w ujęciu historycznym. W rozdziale II centralne miejsce zajęła analiza normatywnej wizji sprawiedliwości transformacyjnej przyjętej przez Polskę po 1989 r. Przedstawiono w szczególności zarys „ustawodawstwa transformacyjnego” ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem ustawy o Instytucie Pamięci Narodowej, uregulowań z zakresu rehabilitacji ofiar, ustaw lustracyjnych, weryfikacji sędziów oraz innych ustaw z zakresu prawa karnego. W rozdziale III omówiono kategorię zbrodni komunistycznych, z uwzględnieniem jej normatywnej konstrukcji w aspekcie podmiotowym oraz przedmiotowym. Rozdział IV poświęcony został instytucji przedawnienia karalności w prawie karnym. Przedstawiono w nim genezę i rozwój tej instytucji w prawie europejskim oraz polskim oraz omówiono koncepcje dotyczących teoretycznych podstaw przedawnienia karalności. Szczegółową uwagę poświęcono funkcjom oraz charakterowi prawnemu przedawnienia karalności w polskim prawie karnym. Powyższemu towarzyszyło przedstawienie nowatorskiego (w gruncie rzeczy niereprezentowanego we współczesnej literaturze prawa) stanowiska autora w tym zakresie. W rozdziale V skupiono się na problematyce przedawnienia karalności pod kątem zmiany normatywnej w obszarze przedawnienia ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem uwarunkowań konstytucyjnych. Tytułową instytucję poddano analizie m.in. przez pryzmat standardu nullum crimen (art. 42 ust. 1 Konstytucji RP), konstytucyjnej zasady ochrony praw słusznie nabytych oraz standardów z art. 43 oraz 44 Konstytucji RP. W rozdziale tym omówiono także skutki zmiany ustawy w zakresie przedawnienia karalności oraz zasięg czasowy art. 4 ust. 1a ustawy o IPN i dopuszczalność wyłączenia art. 4 § 1 k.k. na gruncie przedawnienia karalności zbrodni komunistycznych. Rozdział VI zawiera podsumowanie oraz zwięzłe przedstawienie wniosków końcowych.
The research objective of the PhD thesis was to answer two overarching questions, that is: 1. what role has the institution of statute of limitations played as a normative attempt to grapple with the criminal activity of officials of the People’s Republic of Poland, one of many which accompanied the Polish constitutional transformation at the end of the 20th century? and 2. is it reasonable for legal theorists and practitioners to perceive limitation periods as a notion pertaining to substantive criminal law? Chapter I considers “transformative justice” and its importance for contemporary criminal law at times of constitutional changes. The origins and development of the concept were expounded upon, as were models of transformative justice in a historical perspective. Centrally placed in Chapter II is an analysis of a normative vision of transformative justice adopted in Poland after 1989. In particular, an outline of “transformative lawmaking”, notably the Act on the Institute of National Remembrance, regulations on rehabilitation of victims, lustration laws, vetting of judges and other statutes within the realm of criminal law. Chapter III addresses Communist crimes and its normative framework through the subjective and objective prisms. In Chapter IV, discussion turns to the institution of statute of limitations (limitation periods) in criminal law. The origins and development of the notion in European and Polish law, along with conceptions encapsulating the theoretical foundations of limitation periods in respect of prosecution, are characterized. Particular emphasis is placed on the functions and legal character of statutes of limitations in Polish criminal law. The foregoing is supplemented by the presentation of the author’s novel approach, one which has generally not been proffered in contemporary literature before. Chapter V scrutinizes statutes of limitations from the angle of a normative change in the field of limitation, predominantly as regards constitutional amendments. The notion was analyzed by reference to the nullum crimen standard (Article 42(1) of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland) the constitutional principle of protection of legitimately acquired rights and standards enshrined in Articles 43 and 44 of the Constitution. The chapter also contemplates the consequences of amendments of statutes of limitations and the temporal scope of Article 4(1a) of the Act on the Institute of National Remembrance and the permissibility of excluding Article 4 § 1 of the Criminal Code in respect of time-barring the criminality of Communist crimes. Chapter VI offers a summary and a concise enunciation of final conclusions.

The R&D and innovation of industries are the key factor of influencing future competitive advantage. In this study, we try to combine three variables that affecting the "Innovative Power", including R&D Investment Fee, Innovation Number and Sales Revenue, and define the concept of " The Circulation of Innovative Power". It means that the R&D leads to innovation, then innovation affects sales revenue. 　　Besides, in order to compare the difference of Innovative Power of industries, we propose a " Combined Index of Innovative Power". It consists of three " single index" including "R&D Investment Index", "Innovation Index", and "Sales Growth Index". It can provide the firms a judgement of its strength or weakness in innovation in their own industry. 　　Finally, limitations and suggestions for future research are proposed.

Begomoviruses are whitefly-transmitted geminiviruses that cause significant damage to dicotyledonous plants. Begomoviruses usually inflict bright yellowing symptoms on infected plants. The question how geminivirus initiated DNA synthesis and replication in differentiated cells that are in G0/G1 phase remain to be elucidated. It had been shown that geminivirus could replicate in prokaryotic organisms. Single-stranded circular DNAs of geminivirus were also found in Escherichia coli/phage M13 system in our laboratory. Since the plastids resemble prokaryotic system in plant cells, it is hypothesized that plastids may also support the replication of geminiviruses in plants, which may lead to the damage of plastids and result in the bright yellowing symptoms. The purpose of this study is to study the replication of ageratum yellow vein virus (AYVV) and tomato leaf curl virus (TLCV) in plastids of dicotyledonous plants. AYVV DNA and TLCV DNA genome genome, but not complementary-strand DNA, were detected in intact plastids of virus-infected plants by Southern-blot hybridization with a series of probes specific to TLCV DNA genome. Various AYVV or TLCV isolates were collected from different regions in Taiwan. The respective coat protein (CP) genes were cloned and sequenced. At the protein level, by means of the bioinformatics analyses, it is found that geminivirus coat proteins from many regions of Taiwan and the world may contain chloroplast transit peptides (cTP). In order to confirm the biological function, the putative viral cTP was fused to the N-terminal of GFP and cloned into the pCBSGFP vector under the control of CaMV 35S promoter. The constructs were inoculated into N. benthamiana and analyzed directly by fluorescence microscopy to confirm the biological functions of the putative cTP. However, no significant GFP signals were observed in chloroplasts by fluorescence microscopy. Western blot analyses further suggested that TLCV may not enter the chloroplasts. Therefore, in this study, it is found that TLCV and AYVV DNA genome could enter the chloroplast, but further studies are needed to elucidate the actual functions.

The purpose of this research is to develop a checklist for evaluating the multimedia disks for children so that it can be provided to kindergarten teachers and parents as an index while choosing multimedia disks for children. But since there are many different kinds of multimedia disks for children, the research range is limited to teaching and learning of mathematics. Checklist is the tool being used most often when people evaluate software. Users can find out the merits and faults of a software via checking all the items in the chart so that they can know if it fits their needs or not. Therefore, checklist is an important and efficient tool. For achieving the goals of this research successfully, researcher adopted a two-stage approach to develop the checklist. The first stage is to review the references. From the past researches, researcher synthesized the level of children’s mathematics knowledge and ability as the guideline for evaluating teaching content (in multimedia disks). Then researcher aimed directly at the characteristics of multimedia disks, claiming the factors that affect the evaluation of user interface. The second stage is professor evaluation. From the perspectives of the professors, researcher can check if all the items in the checklist are suitable. The first draft of the checklist included three levels. The first level included teaching content, teaching quality, frame design, and feedback. The former two are considering the items of teaching content; the rest two are considering the items about user interface. The second level is about evaluation indexes. These indexes are developed from the four elements in the first level. The third level is 50 concrete questions of evaluation. They are 19 questions of teaching content, 7 of teaching quality, 15 of frame design, and 9 of feedback. The professors suggested that it will be more closed to researcher’s expectation if researcher changes the structure of the questions to 3 questions of teaching object, 25 of teaching content, 7 of teaching method, and 15 of frame design. Researcher accepted the suggestion. At the end, researcher illustrated the suggestions about the process of designing the evaluation chart, the explanation of evaluating software, and the concrete suggestions for further studies.

The Graduate Institute of Children’s Literature National Taitung University Abstract “Home” is the cradle of a child to be brought up and to be inspired. At home, the relationship between parent and child is the first human relationship that the child comes to contact with. For a long time, a father in a family has been playing the role of a main financial provider, while a mother is responsible for bringing up children. Unlike the devoted, intimate mutual relationship between mother and child, the relationship between father and child is more ordinary, deficient and even alienated. The existence of a father seems to be a “familiar stranger”. However, as society evolves rapidly, the family structure changes. Traditionally, “the male is the bread-winner of a family, and the female takes care of the household affairs”. The role of a father is faced with multiple challenges and is becoming more and more important since single families and re-married families increase day by day. Many studies show that, during the growth of a child, with the development of a gender role, the mold of personality, the development of morality, the achievement and development of mentality, and the adaptability of society, the role of a father has a profound influence. The importance of this role is irreplaceable. Juvenile fiction is the miniature of their life. It really presents the sweets and bitters of their life. The mutual relationship between parent and child in a family affects the growth of a child, usually involving his personality development. Among the parent and children mutual relationship, that of the father is always neglected. Through the analysis and process of development of juvenile psychology in this treatise, this study is to explore the awarded “Juvenile Fiction”, from “Taiwan Provincial Children’s Literature Fiction Reward”, the relationship between father and child, by which we are to understand during the process of the child’s growth, not only the importance of the mutual relationship between father and child, but also the way how, being a juvenile reader, to learn to become a father in the future. This treatise is composed of six chapters, trying to integrate the study of the mutual relationship in the juvenile fiction with the change of the role of a father and the dvelopment of the juvenile psychology. The first chapter explains the motivation and background of the study, the purpose of the study and method of the study. The second chapter explores documents. The third explores the relationship between father and child in a family living with both father and mother. The fourth studies the relationship between father and child in a single family. The fifth analyses the relationship between step father and step child in a “step family”. The sixth is the general conclusion of the study and presents suggestions and expectations. Key words: Taiwan Children’s Literature Fiction Reward, the relationship between father and child, single family, “Step family”

Abstract:

At the rate in which India population is increasing, it is said that India will surely replace China from its number 1 position of most densely populated country of the world after 20-30. These will lead to high rate of consumption of most valuable natural resource „Water‟ resulting in augmentation of pressures on the permitted freshwater resources. Ancient method of damming river and transporting water to urban area has its own issues of eternal troubles of social and political. In order to conserve and meet our daily demand of water requirement, we need to think for alternative cost effective and relatively easier technological methods of conserving water. Rain water harvesting is one of the best methods fulfilling those requirements. The technical aspects of this paper are rainwater harvesting collected from rooftop which is considered to be catchment areas from all hostels and Institutes departmental building at N.I.T. Rourkela Campus. First of all, required data are collected i.e. catchment areas & hydrological rainfall data. Water harvesting potential for the hostels and faculty apartments was calculated, and the tank capacity with suitable design is being considered. Volume of tank has been calculated with most appropriate method of estimation. Optimum location of tank on the basis of hydrological analysis and GIS analysis was done in the campus. Finally, Gutter design, its analysis, first flush and filtration mechanism are also dealt with in detail.

The ethnic group of Hakka has remained its uniqueness in the aspects of their language, house, costume, folk customs, religious belief and habitual behaviors. The development process of these aspects is dynamic and continuous. In fact, the reclamation of Nanlong Tribe was guided by the Japanese, who led the Hakkas of Northern Taiwan, the Fukienese living in Gangshan, Tianliao and Cishan, as well as the local Hakkas of Meinong to take part in the reclamation. The interaction among different ethnic groups in the process of reclamation is worthy of making in-depth investigation. The research approaches of the paper include participant observation, interview and ethnographic studies. The paper further uses the spirit of constructivism to avoid any misunderstanding caused by different cultural backgrounds, hoping to employ an objective spirit to investigate the development process of Nanlong Tribe. The conclusions of the study are: 1. Nanlong Tribe is situated at a piece of gravel land, and flooding always occurs along Loanong River. Hence, the Japanese paid a lot of time and energy in the reclamation work, including the cadastral survey, forestry survey, construction of Jhuzimen Power Plant, and the flood prevention and control projects. 2. From the Japanese colonial period, the ruling period of Kuomintang to the present, the economic crops, including the sugar cane, rice, cigarette, banana, miscellaneous crops, etc. need more concerns and assistance from the government all through the period from their prosperity, decline to the existing transition. 3. The essence of the Hakka culture presented in the actual Hakka life, including the ways that the Hakkas respect the earth and heaven, worship their ancestors and previous generations, and defend the natural landscape of their hometowns, should be developed extensively. 4. The intermarriage among ethnic groups, the serious failure of handing down the mother language to the next generation and the remedial solutions, as well as the education and fostering of the next generation are the main problems to be solved urgently. The research results of this study can generally meet the objectives of the study, but there are still some unsatisfactory places. Thus, the study makes some suggestions: 1. The Hakkas should strengthen the proficiency of their dialect to help understand the quintessence of their tribe. 2. The time of actual participation in local life should be lengthened. 3. The researchers of this area should cultivate their reading ability of Japanese language to achieve further breakthrough in the acquisition of historical materials.

What with vocational colleges and institutes upgrading, their libraries face challenges in such personalized information service, which thus have been lacking in related studies. Methods of this study included literary analysis, questionnaire and system design. Questionnaires were administered to the faculty of National Taichung Institute of Technology in order to understand teachers'' information search channels and opinions on personalized information service. Finally, this study used ASP programming and SQL statements to analyze and construct a system offering this service and Auto-mail mechanism to enhance efficiency of library service and library usage rate. This study obtained the following conclusions: 1) as efficiency of SDI has not reached its full extent, library reader service is affected; 2) at this stage of inside operation, automated systems of the aforementioned libraries still lack personalized information service; 3) readers have high expectations of personalized information service; 4) library classification systems are suitable for registration of users’ profile in this type of service; and 5) once the system design now under study is complete, other vocational-technical libraries may undertake similar projects, using this one as a model. For further studies, it is suggested that the library industry establish keyword authority files for the registration of users’ profile and that automated systems be incorporated into personalized information service to better the quality of reader service.

The CO2 emissions caused by automobile application have accumulated up to a point that the CO2 absorbs the short wave and thus increase the atmosphere temperate year by year. The broken Ozone layer on the north and sound poles top atmosphere allows the untra violet to penetrate the atmosphere and become harmful to living things. These are cause by the automobile exhaust, chemical compound waste, industrial exhaust gases, etc. The efforts on the improvement of gasoline performance to reduce these damage are; however, not enough and efficient at all. Many governments among the world has investigated the possible replacement fuel which includes LPG, CNG, and fuel cell. The most encouraging technology studied recently is the hydrogen-fueled fuel cell. This technology is stil lack the key technology on the application level. Thus, this study will investigate the foreign and domestic development of this hydrogen fueled fuel cell and its feasibility of substantial application in Taiwan. This study has the review of fuel cell technology and uses the Greet 1.6 Program to simulate the hydrogen-fueled fuel cell technology. Then the well-to-pump and well-to-wheel overall emissions generated by the fuel cell are compared to the tradition exhaust emissions cause by gasoline, by diesel , and by LPG engines. Also the setting parameter in this program are also varied to study their sensitivity on the results. .

The southwestern plain of Taiwan is mainly covered by young Quaternary Holocence alluvium, composed of sand, silt, clay and gravel. As a soft ground in an engineering sense, highway embankments built on this region may experience severe settlement problems, so that settlement prediction plays an important role in the design stage. However, conventional settlement evaluation techniques are only accessible to consulting engineers but not transparent to field engineers. On the other hand, some literature studies have concluded that the difference between predicted settlement and in-situ measured one is usually considerable. The thesis is intended to establish a preliminary prediction model of embankment settlement primarily based on the data of boreholes, embankments, and field measurement along two east-west highways (Route 78: Taisi-Kukan and Route 82: Tungshi-Chiayi, abbreviated as HW78 and HW82, respectively), using the neural network analysis (NNA). In this research, ten evaluation factors, among which six ground parameters require additional unification, were first selected from various ones, to predict the embankment settlement. Totally, 109 sets of data collected from HW78 were divided into three categories (I, II, III), each of which was adopted to perform the training part of NNA, followed by verification of the resultant model according to the remaining 8~16 data sets of HW78 and 8~13 data sets of HW82. The average and standard deviation of deviation percentage (m|e|,se) were defined for the checking purpose, and the results were compared with the consulting design and computation ones. The linear model of NNA was also used to determine the importance order of ten evaluation factors, from which the influence of reduced number of evaluation factors on the prediction model was studied with three modes (Modes 1,2,3 for 10, 8, 6 factors, respectively). The verification results based on the remaining 8~16 data sets of HW78 depicted that (m|e|,se) of the NNA-generated nonlinear prediction model were both less than those of consulting design and computation ones (by around 50%), and it can serve as a quick tool in the near future for predicting embankment settlement in the studied area. The linear model of NNA pointed out the most important factor to be the fill height (h) for all three categories, implying the less variance of other factors in the studied area. On the other hand, in the verification stage using the 8~13 data sets of HW82, the ANN-generated nonlinear prediction model yielded a little higher (m|e|,se) than the consulting design and computation ones, indicating that the site condition along HW82 is somewhat different from that of HW78. It implies improving the applicability of this ANN model to the Chiayi area requires adding more data sets along HW82. In the study of reduced number of evaluation factors, reduction of the number of evaluation factors up to 4 (Mode 3) took a cost of increasing (m|e|,se) by about 30%; thus, it is up to the decision of site engineers to pick up of the right number of evaluation factors.
