Abstract:
Il tema centrale di questo progetto è l'analisi della Regionalizzazione, un’ approccio politico-economico legato al fenomeno ampiamente conosciuto della globalizzazione e potenzialmente soluzione vincente per strategie di internazionalizzazione profittevoli. Oltrepassare il mercato nazionale attraverso un approccio regionale significa organizzare e interpretare il mondo politico e di business in uno schema diverso ed intermedio fra quello nazionale o globale. Il motivo di questa scelta è cercare di dare ordine e un prospetto veritiero di dove si stia dirigendo il contesto di business internazionale, fornendo evidenze empiriche e casi di studio reali come supporto. L'analisi svolta in questa tesi prende come punto di partenza le preziose pubblicazioni realizzate da uno dei maggiori esperti in studi di Globalizzazione e Strategia, il Professor Pankaj Ghemawat: “The New Global Road Map: Enduring Strategies for Turbulent Times”, “Redefining Global Strategy: Crossing Borders in a World Where Differences Still Matter ” e “Regional Strategies for Global Leadership”. Nel primo capitolo viene analizzata la storia del fenomeno della globalizzazione in quanto l'approccio regionale è considerato un'evoluzione di essa. L'attenzione è inizialmente posta sull'opera di Thomas Friedman "The World Is Flat". Segue una serie di analisi empiriche degli indicatori più importanti in termini di connessioni ed interdipendenze globali, con una chiusura con una ricerca sulle conseguenze più rilevanti in termini gestionali ed aziendali. Il capitolo 2 si concentra sulla regionalizzazione e discute, tra i tanti, di un aspetto chiamato "Semi-Globalizzazione", rimandando a dati che mostrano che i paesi (e aziende), per un gran numero di indici di globalizzazione, registrano ancora livelli ampiamente al di sotto di quanto necessario per poter essere considerati realmente globali. Dalla seconda metà del capitolo si ha uno studio profondo e dettagliato sugli impatti e le spinte che la guerra commerciale USA-Cina, i timori di un decoupling tecnologico e, soprattutto, la pandemia di Covid-19, hanno dato all'affermazione di modelli regionali, in particolare nella gestione delle global supply and value chains. Il capitolo 3, aderendo al contributo del professor Ghemawat, dopo aver fornito linee guida su come identificare e delimitare una regione, illustra sei diverse opzioni strategiche che potrebbero essere adottate dalle imprese per cercare di essere competitive a livello internazionale attraverso un approccio regionale, con quattro casi studio reali a supporto.

Abstract:

Our study deals with the concept of regional trade blocs or open borders (Nordic Region) and their impact on the Marketing Mix Strategies of the firm. The purpose of our study is to analyze the regionalization concept as company point of view and then its impact on the marketing mix strategies of a company operating in Nordic Region. To get the appropriate data for this, we studied a telecommunication company based in Norway and operating in Denmark and Sweden as well. We adopted the inductive approach and case study method, and our study is based on our research findings, on the basis of which we developed our own model. The model discusses certain variables and factors which influence the marketing mix decisions of the company.

The study results show that company felt the reality of open market and trying to get the advantages of this opportunity by modifying or reorganizing its marketing mix strategies according to the open market conditions. Innovation and product development according to the customer demands in different markets forced the company to take attention about their product line and product components. Competition in local and regional market forced the company and they based their price strategy on competition so competition became a driving force for the company’s price strategy. Open borders gave a number of alternatives to position the products and Telenor is using different distribution channels which vary from market to market and country to country. Company adopted trans-border strategy for the easiness of their end consumers and used different brand names in different markets but with single logo at all.

Abstract:
The purpose of the thesis was to first, document the expansion of Trinidad's business sector and then to probe the implications of this expansion on Caribbean regionalization. The variables analyzed were physical expansion, technology and development and community involvement. The methodological approach used first, a theoretical approach based on the New Regionalism Approach (NRA) which best accounts for non-state actors (multinationals) and their role in the scheme of regionalization. Second, interviews were conducted with leaders of the major multinationals in Trinidad to ascertain their opinion on the role of multinationals in the regionalization process. Based on the case studies analyzed, namely Royal Bank Group of Companies and Trinidad Cement Holdings Limited, the findings of the thesis indicate that Trinidad multinationals are helping the process of Caribbean regionalization and consider themselves regional rather than national entities. It can be concluded that the growth of Trinidad multinationals will continue to be integral to the economic integration of the region.

Abstract:
The aim of this thesis was to test and evaluate whether parameter regionalization of a hydrological model can be used to model the impact of forest clearcutting on streamflow in Sweden. This is an important task to be able to perform water management and impact assessments adequately. The HBV conceptual rainfall-runoff model was applied for 218 Swedish catchments of different sizes that were spread across the country and covered a wide range of different forest cover percentages. The modelling approach included calibration of the model for each catchment using a genetic algorithm and then associating the resulting optimal parameter values with the percentage of forest cover. The obtained relationship between different model parameters and forest cover was validated with help of a paired catchment study site in northern Sweden where a clear cut was done in 2006: calibrated optimal parameter sets of pre- and post-clearcutting conditions were compared to parameter sets obtained from the Sweden-wide analysis. Correlations were found for about half of the fifteen hydrological model parameters, but the validation with the paired catchment study site could only partially confirm these obtained relationships. The results suggest that the adopted parameter regionalization approach is too basic. However, some of the results seem promising and emphasize the need for further research and development of the approach to provide a more reasonable method to model the impact of forest clearcutting on streamflow.
Det huvudsakliga målet med detta examensarbete var att testa och utvärdera om parameterregionalisering av en hydrologisk modell kan vara en lämplig metod för att modellera och kvantifiera påverkan från skogsavverkning på vattenbalansen i Sverige. Detta är en viktig uppgift för att kunna hantera våra vattenresurser och utföra konsekvensanalyser på ett tillfredsställande sätt. En konceptuell hydrologisk modell tillämpades på 218 avrinningsområden av olika storlekar och som var geografiskt utspridda i hela Sverige där även andelen skog i avrinningsområdena hade ett brett spektrum. Den använda modelleringsmetoden innefattade kalibrering av varje avrinningsområde genom att använda en genetisk algoritm, varefter de optimala parametervärdeana korrelerades mot andelen skog i avrinningsområdet. Idén med denna metod är att använda dessa potentiella samband för att justera modellparametrarna och därmed simulera en skogsavverkning. De erhållna sambanden mellan modellparametrarna och skogstäcket validerades med hjälp av data från en försöksstudie i norra Sverige där en skogsavverkning gjordes under 2006. Skillnaden mellan de bäst fungerande parametervärdena före och efter skogsavverkningen jämfördes med de tidigare sambanden från andra avrinningsområden i Sverige. Signifikant korrelation hittades för ungefär hälften av de 15 hydrologiska modellparametrarna, men valideringen mot den riktiga skogsavverkningen kunde bara delvis bekräfta de erhållna sambanden. Resultaten visar att detta sätt att använda parameterregionalisering antagligen är för grundläggande. Vissa resultat är ändå lovande och fortsatt forskning och utvidgning av metoden är nödvändig för att kunna tillhandahålla en rimlig metod för att kvantifiera en skogsavverknings effekter på vattenbalansen.

Abstract:
Post-graduate students specializing in Community Health, are attached to different health authorities during their training. During these attachments they are exposed to the day-to-day management of health services and experience at first hand, the difficulties as well as the successes that are encountered in tending to the health needs of communities. It is also expected that post-graduate students do research projects during their attachments, usually on topics on which the health services managers need information. The topic discussed in this report was an assignment given to the author at the start of his attachment to the department of Hospital (Health) Services of the Cape Provincial Administration. The period of attachment was from February to May 1987. The whole question of the regionalization of health services is a complex one, and it is necessary that any proposals for a system of regionalization benefit from the inputs of many experts in different fields. However, as has been the experience in the United States of America, such inputs are no guarantee -that a successful system of regionalization will result. (1) In the local front, the Department of Works, at the request of the Director of Hospital Services, began an investigation into the existing system of regionalization of hospital services in 1985. This attempt was aborted, possibly because of the magnitude of the task, among other things. (2). What follows hereafter should therefore be seen as merely a framework for the development of a system of regionalization rather than as a blueprint for such a system. Perhaps a few remarks about the age-old problem of line-staff conflict would not be amiss at this stage. During the development of this framework, it became apparent that line officials might be expecting a quick proposal of regions and/ or sub-regions for the delivery of health services based on a purely management approach. As a staff official, the author naturally had different expectations. The report is an attempt to marry the two sets of expectations and it is left to the reader to judge to what extent, if at all, the author has succeeded in this attempt. Much of the data used in the study are new, and computation was done largely by hand. The generation of the data, was therefore time-consuming and much of the first phase of the study was devoted to the generation of the data and collection of data that were available from other sources. The study has proved to be a fascinating one and it is hoped that permission will be obtained to pursue the study in more detail. This report should therefore be seen as a preliminary report which addresses the question of regionalization of health services in the Cape Province in 'macro' terms. And finally, the author hopes that some of the information in this report may prove of value to those responsible for the delivery of health services to the people of the Cape Province.

Abstract:
The information on river flows is important for a number of reasons including; the construction of hydraulic structures for water management, for equitable distribution of water and for a number of environmental issues. The flow measurement devices are generally installed across the workspace at various locations to get data on river flows but due to a number of technical and accessibility issues, it is not always possible to get continuous data. The amount rainfall in a basin area also contributes towards the river flows and intense rainfall can cause flooding. The extended rainfall maps for the study areas to analyze these extreme events can be of great practical and theoretical interest. This thesis can be generally regarded as a work on catchment hydrology and mapping rainfall extremes to estimate certain hydrological variables that are not only useful for future research but also for practical designing and management issues. We analyzed a number of existing techniques available in literature to extend the hydrological information from gauged basin to ungauged basin; and suggested improvements. The three main frontiers of our work are: Monthly runoff regime regionalization, Flow duration curves (FDCs) regionalization and preparing rainfall hazardous maps. The proposed methods of regionalization for runoff regime and FDCs are tested for the basins located in northern Italy; whereas for rainfall extremes, the procedure is applied to the data points located in northern part of Pakistan.

The Thesis examines the process of regionalization in the Black Sea region. The main argument of this thesis is that the process of regionalization in the Black Sea region has not transformed the region from the level of "
regional society"
to the level of "

due to the pressure of extra-regional, regional and sub-regional factors, and the present situation undermines the basis for regional security and prosperity. In addition, the thesis explores the obstacles that the process of regionalization in the Black Sea region faces.

Desde a consolidaÃÃo do Sistema Ãnico de SaÃde (SUS), hà um empenho de forÃas polÃticas e tÃcnicas em concretizar arranjos organizativos que expressem o desenho mais adequado para efetivar o acesso à saÃde em territÃrios com limites geogrÃficos continentais, como o do Brasil. PorÃm, historicamente, ao nos centrarmos nos trajetos assistenciais de usuÃrios que necessitam migrar da atenÃÃo bÃsica (AB) para a atenÃÃo especializada (AE), à perceptÃvel uma persistente departamentalizaÃÃo dos serviÃos de saÃde, o que fragiliza a integralidade da atenÃÃo e os fluxos dos usuÃrios. Dessa forma, o Estado tem investido na regionalizaÃÃo da saÃde como potente estratÃgia para aumentar o alcance dos serviÃos ofertados, de forma a atender Ãs necessidades dos usuÃrios com maior qualidade e menor custo de investimento. Sendo assim, esse estudo se propÃe a compreender como acontece a regulaÃÃo do acesso à atenÃÃo especializada, a partir de uma perspectiva regionalizada da saÃde. Trata-se de um estudo enraizado em solos epistemolÃgicos da pesquisa qualitativa, que tem como interesse as experiÃncias e processos de significaÃÃes de sujeitos inseridos no cenÃrio da saÃde. Foram entrevistados 9 usuÃrios e 5 gestores da Ãrea de saÃde de Russas, estado do CearÃ, no perÃodo de janeiro a abril de 2016. As entrevistas foram coletadas no serviÃo ambulatorial e especializado da regiÃo (policlÃnica). Realizaram-se entrevistas em profundidade, buscando reconstituir as trajetÃrias assistenciais dos usuÃrios. Ademais, utilizamos anotaÃÃes em diÃrio de campo e observaÃÃo dos serviÃos de saÃde. A construÃÃo da informaÃÃo teve como lente a perspectiva da fenomenologia empÃrica, a partir da qual se desvelaram trÃs unidades de significados. A primeira unidade de significado foi a organizaÃÃo dos fluxos de acesso regionalizado, apontando os fluxos institucionalizados pelos protocolos de acesso à AE implantados sob uma lÃgica muito estrutural e burocrÃtica, culminando em barreiras de acesso e levando os usuÃrios a trilhar vias paralelas. Na segunda unidade, o cerne das anÃlises girou em torno da gestÃo das prÃticas regulatÃrias regionais, desvelando as estratÃgias utilizadas pelos gestores para garantir fluxos de acesso regionalizado, tais como o controle sistemÃtico da oferta de vagas, matriciamento entre AE e AB, utilizaÃÃo das Tecnologias de InformaÃÃo e comunicaÃÃo no processo de regulaÃÃo do acesso regional. Por Ãltimo, apresentamos a gestÃo das prÃticas regulatÃrias com base na organizaÃÃo interna do serviÃo de referÃncia, discutindo principalmente â a partir das trajetÃrias assistenciais â o impacto que a acessibilidade geogrÃfica tem no acesso à saÃde dos usuÃrios, a importÃncia do transporte sanitÃrio e a priorizaÃÃo de municÃpios mais distantes. Conclui-se que a modelagem de serviÃos de saÃde, na perspectiva regionalizada de saÃde, à uma soluÃÃo necessÃria e inevitÃvel para um paÃs de dimensÃes continentais. Todavia, devem estruturar-se potentes sistemas logÃsticos e de apoio para que de fato se consiga alcanÃar a integralidade de todos os nÃveis de saÃde.

Full text
Abstract:

Methods for predicting streamflow in areas with limited or nonexistent measures of hydrologic response commonly rely on regionalization techniques, where knowledge pertaining to gaged watersheds is transferred to ungaged watersheds. Hydrologic response indices have frequently been employed in contemporary regionalization research related to predictions in ungaged basins. In this study, regionalization models were developed using multiple linear regression and regression tree analysis to derive relationships between hydrologic response and watershed physical characteristics for 163 watersheds in the Great Lakes basin. These models provide a means for predicting runoff in ungaged basins at a monthly time step without implementation of any process-based rainfall-runoff model. Major findings from this research study include (1) Monthly runoff in ungaged watersheds was predicted with reasonable skill using regression-based relationships between runoff ratio and watershed physical characteristics; (2) Predictions in ungaged watersheds were highly influenced by the temporal characterization of runoff ratio used to condition the regression models; (3) Watershed classification using regression tree and multiple linear regression techniques resulted in comparable model predictive skill.

Abstract:
Tourism has a long history but research on tourism is recent and linked to the modern mass tourism. Tourism research deals with the subject from three perspectives. First it is treated as a social phenomenon, second as an economic phenomenon and third as a geographic phenomenon. Even in the geographer's eye tourism has many faces ranging from interaction between people and places to land use patterns and influence on the landscape. The aim of the study is to analyse tourism travel patterns during the summer vacation period in Sweden. A number of questions are addressed: Who is a tourist? Why do people travel in their leisure time? Why do they choose a particular destination? Do people travel during their vacations and if so, where do they go? Is it possible to genera-lise about the scattered pattern of tourism travel into regions with similar catchment areas and catchment profiles? Although tourism as a word has been in the language for a long time and people have an intuitive understanding of the concept, it is still a concept that defies definition. This study uses a partly instrumental and partly role-related definition in the empirical sections. A tourist is a person visiting a place other than his home municipality and staying over night The visit shall have purely recreational purposes and no connection with the visitor's business or employment After deciding who is a tourist, the next question is: Why does a tourist travel? Many empirical studies show that personal motives are the most important reasons for leisure time travel. Going to another town to visit a relative is tourism. Thus, tourism travel may be viewed partly as a reflection of migration.which thus increases tourism. The tourism is associated with "tour", but the real touring tourist is fairly rare. An interview survey conducted as part of this study showed that about 50 % of the popu­lation is at home at the same time during their vacation period. Habits are stable; this has not changed significantly over the last 20 years. On the other hand, a majority leave home for some period during their vacation, but make only one short over night visit away from home. Only four of Sweden's 24 counties received more travellers from counties other than themselves. Travel within the home county is much greater than might be expected. This study includes a methodological experiment on regionalization. A normal cluster analysis has been performed with the addition of a neighbor constraint. Destinations for most journeys during the vacation period are secondary homes or places where friends and relatives live. Only approximately one third of all "tourism travel" is tourism in a "pure" sense. This means that most people, although they are travelling during vacations, rarely use tourist facilities. What are normally considered to be tourist attractions are not really attractive to these people. Thus, one conclusion is that the potential market for the tourist business for Swedes in Sweden may be smaller than expected.

Abstract:
The presented doctoral thesis “Fly ash impact in forest ecosystems in Northeastern Germany - an assessment and regionalization approach” intends to (a) test if the field assessment of ferrimagnetic susceptibility can be used as cost efficient method to get information on fly ash deposition impacted chemical site properties. (b) develop a regionalization approach to bridge the gap from plot-wise assessed data to spatial management information. The thesis is a follow-up of extensive research activities by the Institute for Soil Science and Site Ecology on industrial deposition in Dübener Heide and Upper Lusatian region which started in the early 1960ies and were intensified from the middle of the 1990ies on. A central topic of these research activities was the assessment of the impact of fly ash deposition on chemical soil properties. A major challenge was to transfer the assessed chemical characteristics from plot to region and to aggregate the measured values to provide an information basis, which can be used for a site potential and risk oriented forest management. This challenge was picked up by the joint research project “ENFORCHANGE” (FKZ 0330634 K, German Federal Ministry of Education and Research). The presented thesis was carried out in the frame of this project during the period 2005 - 2009. The thesis was conceived as cumulative work, which includes ten papers in total. Five articles are published in peer-reviewed journals (ISI listed, 1 paper still in revision), and five are part of books or conference proceedings. • Chapter 1 “Introduction” gives an overview on the motivation, idea and structure of the thesis. • In chapter 2 “Aims and Scope of the presented work” information on the background and frame of the study within the project ENFORCHANGE is given. • Chapter 3 “Background and State of the Art” deals with the history of fly ash deposition in the model region Dübener Heide. • Chapter 4 “Material and Methods” gives information on fly ash and presents the spatial assessment design and the hereon based approaches for up-scaling and correlation of magnetic susceptibility with selected chemical characteristics. • Chapter 5 “Results” presents results of the spatial modeling and linear regression based approach to use ferrimagnetic susceptibility for predicting the contents of selected base cations, selected acid and heavy metal cations and Black Carbon. • Chapter 6 “Discussion and Conclusions” compares the assumptions and findings in the different articles, discusses contradictory findings and open questions and provides a comprehensive evaluation of the outcomes. Final conclusions are drawn and an outlook is given. A key finding of the thesis is that the industrial complex Bitterfeld was the most important source of fly ash deposited in the model region Dübener Heide. The power plant Zschornewitz plays only a minor role contrary to the research hypothesis formulated in ENFORCHANGE. Related to the targets of the thesis, spatial variation of magnetic susceptibility was predicted with high precision by a multiple linear regression model. A slightly differing set of model parameters  according to their explanatory value for three selected depth levels  improved the prediction quality. The selection of the parameters supported understanding the major drivers for magnetic particle deposition, storage, and vertical displacement in the forest soils. Humus layer (depth level 6-10 cm), horizontal distance to Bitterfeld and soil type (Podzol, semi-terrestrial sites) were the most important variables. These variables point to a slowed-down humus dynamic, which causes the accumulation of fly ash in the humus layer. In depth level 11 – 15 cm, variables such as “aspect” gain in importance, which describe the exposure against the major wind direction and thus indicate the probability and of deposition. For the mineral horizon (depth level 21-25 cm), exposition and especially stand properties are most important. The latter gives evidence for the intensity of deposition caused by surface roughness. Therefore, the variables “coniferous” and “mixed” stands were highly relevant for the model. Variable correlations between mass susceptibility and selected base cations, acid cations and heavy metals have been found. When using a linear regression model, a prediction of Ca and Mg and of Mn was possible. The model performance was lower for Fe, Al, Cd and Black Carbon. A possible reason was the use of different plot types: the assessment of magnetic susceptibility and chemical soil properties was well harmonized at the ENFORCHANGE plots considering the sampling material and sampling location. A comparable harmonization could not be achieved at a number of monitoring plots, which were included into the analysis to broaden the data base. Comparing the results from the linear regression model based prediction with the results achieved by multiple regression based spatial modeling lead to the conclusion that the mul¬tiple regression approach is more promising: by using other model parameters such as orographic, climatic or stand parameters together with magnetic susceptibility, the prediction quality of the deposed agents could be improved and small scale variations in nutrient potentials and risks driven by fly ash deposition could be better recognized and made available for forest management decisions
Die vorgelegte Doktorarbeit “Fly ash impact in forest ecosystems in Northeastern Germany - an assessment and regionalization approach” (Flugascheeinträge in Waldökosysteme in Nordostdeutschland  ein Erfassungs- und Regionalisierungsansatz) verfolgte die Ziele (a) zu testen, ob sich die Erfassung der ferrimagnetischen Suszeptibilität eignet, um kosteneffizient quantitative und / oder qualitative Informationen zu den eingetragenen Flugaschemengen und den in der Folge veränderten bodenchemischen Potenzialen zu erheben (b) zu testen, ob der Indikator „ferrimagnetische Suszeptibilität“ genutzt werden kann, um Informationen über Flugascheeinträge von der punktbezogenen Erfassung auf einen regionalen Maßstab hoch zu skalieren. Grundlage dieser Zielstellungen sind Forschungsarbeiten zu der Frage der langfristigen Wirksamkeit und ökologischen Bedeutung von Industrieexhalationen auf Waldökosysteme, die am Institut bereits in den 1960ziger Jahren begonnen wurden und verstärkt seit Mitte der 1990ziger Jahre fortgeführt wurden. Auf ihrer Basis wurde die Herausforderung eines kostengünstigen und flächenbezogenen Erhebungsansatzes identifiziert und formuliert. Die vorgelegte Arbeit ordnete sich in diese Forschungsarbeiten ein und führte sie im Rahmen des Verbundforschungsvorhabens ENFORCHANGE ((FKZ: 0330634 K, Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung) von 2005 - 2009 fort. Die Doktorarbeit ist als kumulative Arbeit angelegt, im Rahmen derer insgesamt 10 Publikationen zusammengefasst wurden. Davon sind 5 in internationalen Journalen bereits publiziert, akzeptiert oder in einem Fall in Begutachtung; 5 weitere Publikationen wurden ergänzend und auf speziellere Themen bezogen in Proceedings oder Buchbeiträgen publiziert. Die Arbeit gliedert sich in 5 Abschnitte: • Kapitel 1 (Einleitung) gibt einen kurzen Überblick zur Motivation und Struktur der Doktorarbeit. • In Kapitel 2 (Ziele und Rahmen der Arbeit) wird der Arbeitsansatz im Rahmen des Verbundforschungsvorhabens ENFORCHANGE vorstellt. • Kapitel 3 umfasst eine Auswertung von Veröffentlichungen zur Geschichte und den ökologischen Auswirkungen der Flugascheeinträge am Beispiel der Modellregion Dübener Heide. • In Kapitel 4 wird der methodische Ansatz der Arbeit vorgestellt, der von einem Vortest zur Eignung der Erfassung der magnetischen Suszeptibilität über die Ableitung eines flächigen Erhebungsansatzes bis hin zur Frage der Modellbildung und Korrelation mit chemischen Kenngrößen reicht. • Kapitel 5 beinhaltet die Ergebnisse der räumlichen Modellbildung und der Korrelation der magnetischen Suszeptibilität mit ausgewählten Basen-, Säure- und Schwermetallkationen sowie mit Schwarzem Kohlenstoff. • Kapitel 6 diskutiert, vergleicht und bewertet die Ergebnisse der den Veröffentlichungen zugrunde liegenden Studien und zieht ein abschließendes Resumé. Ein Schlüsselergebnis der vorgelegten Arbeit belegt, dass entgegen der ursprünglichen Arbeitshypothese des Projektverbundes ENFORCHANGE nicht das mehr als 100 Jahre alte Kraftwerk Zschornewitz die wesentliche Quelle für die Flugascheeinträge in der Modellregion Dübener Heide war, sondern der räumlich entfernter gelegene, aber deutlich größere Industriekomplex Bitterfeld. Bezogen auf die Zielsetzung der vorgelegten Arbeit, konnte mithilfe multipler Regressionsverfahren und auf Basis von Feldaufnahmen der ferrimagnetischen Suszeptibilität in einem regelmäßigen Stichprobenraster ein hoch auflösendes räumliches Modell gebildet werden. Unter Berücksichtigung weiterer Modellparameter, die schrittweise hinsichtlich ihres Erklärungswertes ausgewählt wurden, konnten mikrotopographische und vegetationsbedingte Informationen genutzt werden, um die räumliche Variabilität des magnetischen Signals differenziert darzustellen. Damit ergibt sich eine Planungsgrundlage, die die bisher genutzte, auf Waldschadensansprachen basierende Stratifizierung in Zonen unterschiedlicher Eintragsintensität mit Bezug zur Planungseinheit deutlich detaillierter untersetzt. Der Versuch, auf Flugascheeintragsmengen, respektive -vorräte zu schließen ließ sich hingegen auf Basis der verfügbaren Daten nicht umsetzen. Die Korrelationsbeziehungen der von Volumen- in den Massenbezug umgerechneten Suszeptibilität mit Basen-, Säure und Schwermetallkationen sowie Schwarzem Kohlenstoff fielen heterogen aus. Eine gute Vorhersage auf Basis eines linearen Regressionsmodells konnte für Ca, Mg und Mn getroffen werden, wohingegen die Modellqualität für Fe, Al sowie Cd und Schwarzen Kohlenstoff deutlich schlechter zu beurteilen war. Dies ergab sich zum einen aus der verfügbaren Datenbasis, die keine durchgängige Harmonisierung für die Erhebungen der Suszeptibilität und der chemischen Kennwerte erlaubte. Zum anderen geht diese Erkenntnis mit Ergebnissen aus der Regionalisierung einher, die einen Einbezug weiterer Modellparameter und die Nutzung multipler anstelle linearer Regressionsmodelle nahe legt

Abstract:
A prevailing problem in applied hydrology is the estimation of runoff from ungaged small watersheds and drainge basins. In this study, arid and semiarid regions were Grouped according to their climatic, geomorphologic, and soil characteristics, disregarding their geographic position. Eighty watersheds were used in this study from three countries: U.S., Brazil, and Australia. Twenty-two climatic, geomorphologic and soil variables were used for the delineation of homogeneous Groups in the cluster analysis, and two major Groups were defined. The results suggest that homogeneous Groups can be delimited independently of their geographic position. Cluster analysis and Andrews' plot were used for regionalization of the watersheds. The variables used for development of the models for each Group were selected by stepwise multiple regression analysis. The Andrews' plot further examination reinforce the statement that hydrologically similar watersheds are independent of their geographic position. In a preliminary study 60 watersheds were used to determine the most important variables. For Group I, the stepwise multiple regression analysis reduced the available 21 independent variables to three variables: rainfall, soil permeability index, and temperature. For Group II, only two variables were statistically significant (rainfall and watershed form factor). Once the most significant variables were selected, 20 additional watersheds with data were also included in the final study. Upon evaluation of the regression statistics, Group II responded better than Group I. The equations were: UNFORMATTED EQUATION FOLLOWS: Group I "Dry" Q = -68.476 + 0.0784 P + 4.131Temp -3.950Slpr n = 29 R² = 70% SE = 11.16 mm/yr Group II "Wet" Q = 1.29*10⁻¹¹* P⁴·⁴¹* Rf⁻⁰·⁰⁹³ n = 37 R² = 79% SE = 30.52 mm/yr UNFORMATTED EQUATION ENDS Computed annual runoff values for Group II showed a good agreement with observed values, suggesting that the developed equation is good for prediction of the annual runoff water yield. In contrast, predicted values for the Group I showed poor agreement with the observed values, suggesting that the model should be treated with caution.

Abstract:
The aim of this research has been to advance the understanding of RMC units, especially springboard subsidiaries, by identifying factors that contribute to the development of an ordinary subsidiary into springboard, scrutinizing its impact on psychic distance between a corporate home country and a target region, and finding the optimal location for RMCs from the perspective of psychic distance. The objective of Chapter 2 has been to explore the drivers that boost the development of a subsidiary’s strategic role from an ordinary one to an RMC type of springboard within an MNC. The results evidence that the development of a springboard subsidiary role is a confluence of the following factors: (1) simultaneous positive change in a target region of expansion and negative change in a subsidiary’s home country that pushes its management to look for new opportunities; (2) location-specific advantages of a subsidiary that allow to develop unique subsidiary-specific capabilities; and (3) micro-political HQ-subsidiary negotiation processes as a result of a subsidiary’s management strong initiative taking, peculiarities of a MNC structure, and strong dependency of HQ on resources available to the subsidiary. The study contributes to the IB literature, proposing that the delegation of a role of springboard is not an intended top-down strategy formulated by the HQ, but rather an emergent one, provoked by an ensemble of factors, some of which are in the reach of a subsidiary’s management influence, and some out of its reach. The objective of Chapter 3 has been to explore how springboard subsidiaries affect psychic distance between the parent company and the target region affiliates. The findings suggest that the usage of springboard subsidiaries as RMCs results in a reduction of psychic distance between the parent company and target region affiliates due to (1) their intermediate psychic proximity towards both, the parent home country and the target region; and (2) their location outside the target region, which makes them uninvolved in intra-regional conflicts that often take place in neighbouring countries. The study contributes to the understanding of psychic distance as a non-continuous distance and proposes a conceptual model that posits: if a parent home country is point A, a springboard subsidiary is point B, and a target region is point C, the distance between a parent home country A and a target region C is bigger than the sum of distances AB (from parent home country to a springboard subsidiary country) and BC (from springboard subsidiary country to the target region). The objective of Chapter 3 has been to explore how springboard subsidiaries affect psychic distance between the parent company and the target region affiliates. The findings suggest that the usage of springboard subsidiaries as RMCs results in a reduction of psychic distance between the parent company and target region affiliates due to (1) their intermediate psychic proximity towards both, the parent home country and the target region; and (2) their location outside the target region, which makes them uninvolved in intra-regional conflicts that often take place in neighbouring countries. The study contributes to the understanding of psychic distance as a non-continuous distance, and proposes a conceptual model that posits: if a parent home country is point A, a springboard subsidiary is point B, and a target region is point C, the distance between a parent home country A and a target region C is bigger than the sum of distances AB (from parent home country to a springboard subsidiary country) and BC (from springboard subsidiary country to the target region). The managerial implications suggest that MNCs should revise their regional configuration, looking at the integrated network of their subsidiaries as a whole, instead of dividing it into regions based on geographic proximity, because the location for an RMC outside the geographic region can actually be more beneficial and may result in the reduction of psychic distance. The main limitation of this study is the methodological one. Although the choice of a single case study methodology is justified by the purpose of this study (a choice of a revelatory and exemplar case that allows for new theory building), there have been concerns whether this case is unique or rather exemplar. The study suggests further investigation to see whether the findings can be confirmed in other geographic settings. The objective of Chapter 4 has been to find optimal locations for RMCs that would minimize psychic distance between a corporate home country and a target region. Based on the dataset of 125 countries, with the variables taken from 12 consecutive years, the study suggests that Spain is the optimal RMC location between the European countries and the Latin American region, whereas France and Tunisia are the optimal RMC location between Europe and Maghreb region. The optimal location for RMCs between Southern and Eastern Europe would be Croatia, whereas Turkey would optimize distance between Europe and Middle East. No congruent results have been found for Asian region, which hints to the limitations of the proposed model. The research contributions of Chapter 4 are several. First, this study proposes an RMC location optimization model that includes ten psychic distance dimensions, chosen according to their relevance for RMC administrative tasks. Second, it applies evolutionary computation algorithm to compute differential weights for each of the dimensions. This endeavour has not been undertaken in the IB literature according to our best knowledge. Third, the applied weights suggest that the importance of formal institutions, such as political and economic development, as well as the presence of colonial links are more important than informal institutions, like culture, or even language and religion. Finally, it sheds critical light on the regionalization criteria based on geographic proximity and shared language, calling for more adequate regionalization clustering for the IB practitioners.

Research indicates that the benefits of regionalization include optimal resource allocation and enhanced communication across jurisdictions. In this thesis, regionalization is defined as the act of the region collaboratively working across jurisdictional boundaries in a formal capacity to network, preplan and respond during incidents. The 2009 Kentucky ice storm devastated the entire state. Some counties throughout the commonwealth collaborated during the response; however, only one region out of eleven formally regionalized. Possible factors related to regionalization will be explored, such as support and understanding by leaders of the concept and the importance of networking with a variety of agencies. Networking is described as interorganizational interaction and communication. Tools from social network analysis are used to visualize networking and collaboration during the 2009 Kentucky ice storm. In addition, regionalization is discussed in the context of area command. Using a case study and interviews, this thesis investigates regionalization in Kentucky as it relates to the 2009 ice storm. Recommendations are presented for improving responses to future large-scale disasters utilizing regionalization.

Full text
Abstract:
In-water biogeochemical constituents and bio-optical properties of the St-Lawrence Gulf and Estuary were monitored during 5 cruises conducted between 1997-2001 accross different seasons. Measured inherent optical properties (IOPs) included vertical profiles of the absorption and attenuation coefficients and the volume scattering function as well as absorption by particles, non-algal particles, phytoplankton and coloured dissolved organic matter (CDOM). Apparent Optical parameters (AOPs) included vertical profiles of the upwelling radiance and downwelling irradiance. The spectral shape of the major IOPs like absorption by phytoplankton, CDOM and non-algal particles as well as the particulate backscattering were parameterized using conventional models and adaptations of conventional models. Descriptive statistics of each variable in the collected dataset were analysed and compared with previous findings in the literature. The optical coherence of the measurements was verified using a radiative transfer closure approach. A complete set of IOP cross-sections for optically significant biogeochemical variables were generated. The magnitude and the spatial, temporal and spectral variation exhibited by the optically significant inwater biogeochemical constituents as well as the bio-optical parameters was consistent with our current knowledge of the ecosystem. The variation of the bio-optical parameters throughout the seasons was also coherent with our expectations. All the measured and derived parameters were found to vary within the ranges reported in the literature. Evidence was presented wherein the Gulf waters, which are usually considered as case I waters could also behave like case II waters. Moreover, spectral signatures exhibited by the IOPs and AOPs were coherent with the variation detected in the concentrations of the measured (optically significant) constituents. The extracted IOP cross-sections were consistent with the results of similar studies previously performed and could eventually be used in the estimation of the biogeochemical constituent concentrations given the related component IOPs. First-order radiative transfer closure was achieved; this underscored the validity of our experimental dataset based on considerations of higher level, integrative, physics. We argue that the current data collection campaign succeeded as a comprehensive framework for describing the behavior of the St-Lawrence bio-optical provinces within the context of remote sensing objectives. This bio-optical dataset should provide the basis for the development of a rigorous, satellite-based, remote sensing algorithm for the retrieval of near surface chlorophyll, fine-tuned to the local characteristics of the St-Lawrence system.

Depuis le début du 20ème siècle, la région fut une occupation constante pour le pouvoir central au Maroc. L'appréhender nécessite une analyse à la fois synchronique et diachronique. La régionalisation est, au Maroc, un processus long et lent, traversant plusieurs périodes et connaissant diverses réformes. A l'heure actuelle, elle représente un échelon important dans le processus de décentralisation et un acteur majeur de développement. Néanmoins, une lecture approfondie de la législation instituant la région fait apparaître un certain nombre d'insuffisances. Elle manque tant de cohérence dans le contenu que de cohésion dans les textes de loi. Des imperfections qui semblent difficile à corriger, alors qu'il se profile à l'horizon une réforme – en gestation – dont le but est, justement, de refonder les bases juridiques de cette institution
From the beginning of the 20th century, the region was a constant activity occupation for the central power in Morocco. To apprehend it we need a synchronic and diachronic analysis. Moreover, in Morocco, the regionalization is a long and slow process crossing several periods and also discerning various reforms. Nowadays, it represents an important point in the process of decentralization and as well a main actor of development. Nevertheless, a deepened reading of the legislation instituting the region creates a certain number of inadequacies. It misses so many coherences in the contents as cohesion in the law's texts.

COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DO PESSOAL DE ENSINO SUPERIOR
O objetivo desta dissertação é compreender o posicionamento brasileiro perante a norma internacional relacionada a intervenções humanitárias. Para tanto, o presente trabalho faz uso das contribuições da teoria construtivista de Relações Internacionais, orientada por normas que analisam o envolvimento brasileiro na atual Missão de Estabilização das Nações Unidas no Haiti (MINUSTAH). O envolvimento brasileiro é entendido a partir da análise da evolução da norma de intervenção e do contexto normativo regional em que o Brasil está inserido. A hipótese defendida é a de que dois aspectos são fundamentais para se entender o envolvimento brasileiro no Haiti: i) a formulação da resposta à crise haitiana de 2004 como uma resposta regional, na qual os países latino-americanos, principalmente os do Cone Sul da América do Sul, exercem um papel de protagonista; ii) a contextualização da resposta brasileira à crise haitiana nos moldes de uma obrigação ético-moral do país, baseada na solidariedade hemisférica e vinculada ao reconhecimento de uma herança cultural comum por meio do princípio da não indiferença. A conclusão sugerida é de que o envolvimento dos países sul-americanos na MINUSTAH faz parte do esforço brasileiro de fortalecimento da América do Sul, e que, além disso, o interesse nacional não é imutável, mas socialmente construído, podendo incluir uma preocupação com a proteção dos direitos humanos de indivíduos localizados além das fronteiras do Estado brasileiro.
The purpose of this dissertation is to understand the Brazilian position regarding the international norm on humanitarian intervention. In order to achieve this objective, the norm oriented constructivist theory of International Relations will be applied in the analysis of the current Brazilian involvement in the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH). The Brazilian involvement is understood from the perspective of the evolution of the international norm on intervention but also taking into consideration the regional normative context. The hypothesis developed in this dissertation identifies two aspects as fundamental for the understanding of the Brazilian involvement in Haiti: first, the framing of the response to the Haitian crisis of 2004 as a regional response, in which Latin American countries, particularly those of the Southern Cone, have taken the leading role; second, the framing of the Brazilian response as guided by an ethical and moral obligation, based on the idea of hemispheric solidarity and on the recognition that both countries share a common cultural heritage, which leads to the principle of non-indifference. Our conclusion suggests that the current South American involvement in MINUSTAH is part of a Brazilian project of strengthening South America, and also that a country’s national interest is not immutable, but socially constructed, and as such it can include a concern for the protection of human rights of those located outside Brazilian borders.

During the preceding decades, brand management in the international environment hasbeen frequently discussed. The choice of a clear branding strategy and clear goals of what acompany wants to achieve is of great importance. Furthermore, companies that act in a globalenvironment need to decide upon whether to be standardized across these markets or to adaptto each specific market. Purpose: To reach an understanding of the factors influencing the choice of internationalbranding strategy by global standardization or local adaptation. Methodology: A case study has been used in this research in order to meet the purpose. Sincethis thesis is of a qualitative character the empirical data has been collected through semi-structured interviews within three respondent segments in the case organization: management,communication and sales. Conclusion: A conclusion drawn from this research is the importance of internalcommunication, when it comes to the formulation and implementation of brand strategies. - Factors influencing the decision of a global standardize brand strategy can be; the possibilityto become a strong global player, decreased expenses of marketing, economics of scale. - Factors influencing the decision of a local adaptation strategy can be; cultural differences,history and heritage, better knowledge of the local market. Suggestions for further research: Further research could be to conduct a more thoroughstudy with more respondents from different multinational companies and also to look at thecustomers' point of view.

Abstract:
O Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) foi configurado tendo como linha mestra de sua organização a descentralização de suas ações, cabendo ao nível central a elaboração e gestão das políticas de saúde. Diante da necessidade de racionalizar recursos, a regionalização se apresenta como meio para implementar uma descentralização que considere a atuação em nível ampliado, além do município, e propicie melhor acesso aos diferentes níveis de complexidade da assistência com melhor aproveitamento de recursos e economia de escala. Organizar um sistema de saúde em nível regional significa a consideração de diferentes variáveis como o fluxo espontâneo de usuários influenciado pelo papel socioeconômico exercido pelos diferentes municípios, o conflito de interesses devido ao direcionamento de recursos, a identificação das necessidades regionais e sua contraposição às propostas dos prestadores e a dificuldade para mensurar a demanda por serviços. Este trabalho estudou o fluxo de internações hospitalares dos sistemas público e supletivo de assistência na região de Ribeirão Preto no intuito de identificar sua distribuição e fatores associados. A origem dos dados foi a Folha de Alta Hospitalar do Centro de Processamento de Dados Hospitalares (CPDH) do Departamento de Medicina Social da Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto da Universidade de São Paulo (FMRP–USP), preenchida em todas as altas hospitalares – SUS e não SUS - de todos os hospitais da região que, depois de recolhida e processada eletronicamente, onstitui um banco de dados no referido centro. A análise dos dados foi feita através do gerenciador de banco de dados Epi-Info™ versão 3.2. Os resultados obtidos foram comparados e estudados à luz do Plano Diretor de Regionalização do Estado de São Paulo para a região de Ribeirão Preto –SP.
The Brazilian National Health System (SUS) was established with a basis in decentralized administration. The central level performs the function of producing the policy and coordinates its application into practice. Facing limited resources, the regionalization represents a way to conduct a decentralized system in larger territories than the municipalities. The expectations are to improve access to the different levels of complexity of care avoiding unnecessary expenditure. The regionalization of hospital care implies various variables, as the spontaneous movement of people influenced by socioeconomic factors, the imbalance because of resources, the region’s needs under an epidemiological basis and interests of providers. This work studies the flux of people receiving hospital care in both public (SUS) and private (NSUS) health assistance in the region of Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo State, Brazil. It tries to identify factors which influence the flux and demand distribution. The data came from the Centro de Processamento de Dados Hospitalares (CPDH) do Departamento de Medicina Social da Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto da Universidade de São Paulo (FMRP–USP), which registers all hospital discharge in the region. The analysis was done using the software Epi Info™ 3.2 version. The results were compared with the plan for the regionalization in São Paulo State for the region of Ribeirão Preto.
