nÃo hÃ<br>The Finance Department of Cearà State â SEFAZ/CE passed in the last 14 years by several programs of structural and technological modernization and through them the computer science was more and more introduced in the institution. With resources caught through financing with the BID â Banco Interamericano de Desenvolvimento and own resources of the State it was invested only in the area of computer science around 115 millions of reals in this period. From 1994, when there was created officially the Centre of Data Processing of the SEFAZ, several systems of information were developed and started making easy not only the access of the taxpayers and accountants to the services of the institution, but also the work of the officials themselves in which it refers to the control of the processes, storage of data and tools for inspection. In this sense, this work proposes to analyse the effect of these investments on the tax revenue of ICMS for the SEFAZ. Through a model economic, it was come to the conclusion that the investments in informatization, when controlled for other factors, did not present any impact on the amount of ICMS collected by the SEFAZ in the period between 1995 and 2008.<br>A Secretaria da Fazenda do Estado do Cearà (SEFAZ) passou, nos Ãltimos 14 anos, por vÃrios programas de modernizaÃÃo estrutural e tecnolÃgica e, atravÃs deles, a informÃtica foi sendo cada vez mais implantada na instituiÃÃo. Com recursos captados de financiamentos junto ao Banco Interamericano de Desenvolvimento (BID) e, com aporte tambÃm de recursos prÃprios do Estado, foram investidos somente na Ãrea de informÃtica cerca de 115 milhÃes de reais nesse perÃodo. Desde 1994, quando foi criado oficialmente o Centro de Processamento de Dados da SEFAZ, vÃrios sistemas de informaÃÃo foram desenvolvidos e postos em funcionamento, facilitando nÃo sà o acesso dos contribuintes e dos contadores aos serviÃos da instituiÃÃo, mas tambÃm o trabalho dos prÃprios funcionÃrios, no que se refere ao controle dos processos, da armazenagem de dados e das ferramentas para fiscalizaÃÃo. Neste sentido, este trabalho se propÃe a analisar o efeito desses investimentos sobre a arrecadaÃÃo de ICMS pela SEFAZ e, atravÃs de um modelo economÃtrico, chegou-se à conclusÃo de que tais investimentos em informatizaÃÃo, quando controlados por outros fatores, nÃo apresentaram nenhum impacto sobre o montante arrecadado de ICMS, no perÃodo entre 1995 e 2008.

Après avoir été la première d’Europe, la marine de Louis XIV a commencé à s’effondrer à partir de 1707, et elle n’était déjà plus que l’ombre d’elle-même lorsque Louis XV a succédé à son arrière-grand-père en 1715. Secrétaire d’État de la Marine de 1723 à 1749, le comte de Maurepas est traditionnellement considéré comme le bâtisseur d’une nouvelle marine, qui aurait fait ses preuves au cours de la guerre de Succession d’Autriche, après une longue période de paix avec la Grande-Bretagne. Les archives du Conseil de Marine révèlent pourtant que c’est dès 1719, que cette reconstruction a été entreprise. Avec le soutien du Régent, les membres de ce conseil dirigé par le comte de Toulouse, Amiral de France, ont alors entrepris de se doter d’un instrument naval puissant, qu’ils destinaient à la guerre d’escadre. Pendant quelques années, d’importants efforts ont été faits pour mettre en chantier un grand nombre de nouveaux vaisseaux, avant que ce projet ne soit abandonné en 1725, suite à une forte réduction des dépenses. Il s’avère donc que le rôle de Maurepas a surtout consisté à entretenir, tant bien que mal, une marine restée inachevée. Il s’est également efforcé, il est vrai, de la préparer à la guerre de course qu’il entendait mener en cas de nouveau conflit contre la Grande-Bretagne. Le fait est cependant que les opérations qui ont suivi l’entrée en guerre de la France en 1744 ont très vite révélé, non seulement les limites de cette stratégie, mais aussi l’impuissance et les fragilités de la première marine de Louis XV, dont Maurepas prononcera lui-même l’acte de décès dans ses « Réflexions sur le commerce et sur la marine » de 1745<br>After being the first in Europe, Louis XIV’s navy began to collapse from 1707, and it was already half-ruined when Louis XV succeeded its great grandfather in 1715. Having been Secretary of State for the Navy from 1723 to 1749, the Comte de Maurepas is traditionally regarded as the founder of a new navy, which would have proved its worth during the War of the Austrian Succession, after a long period of peace with Great Britain. However, the archives of the Navy Council reveal that it was as early as 1719 that this reconstruction was undertaken. With the support of the Regent, the members of this board headed by the Comte de Toulouse, Admiral of France, planned to create the naval instrument they needed for a guerre d’escadre. For a few years, great efforts were made to build a large number of new ships, before this program was abandoned in 1725, following a drastic budget reduction. It turns out, therefore, that Maurepas’s role was mainly to maintain, as best he could, a navy that remained unfinished. Admittedly, he also tried to prepare it for the guerre de course he intended to fight in the event of a new war with Great Britain. The fact is, however, that the naval operations which followed the outbreak of war in 1744 quickly revealed not only the limits of this strategy, but also the inability and the weaknesses of Louis XV's first navy, of which Maurepas himself performs the autopsy in his « Reflec- tions on Trade and Navy » of 1745

This thesis looks at how the Scottish state, with a long coastline, got away with a minimal naval footprint in a period when European navies were becoming large permanent institutions. Increasingly, Scottish authorities did this by relying upon the English Royal Navy. This thesis hopes to go some way to filling the lacuna in the historiography of the Royal Navy in the seventeenth century regarding Scotland. The Royal Navy in Scotland is used as a prism through which Scottish and British state development in the period of the union of the crowns is looked at. From the standpoint of 1707 Scotland is generally seen as being an underdeveloped state. Explanations of why this was tend to point to the regal union as a cause due to the removal of key elements of statehood to London, in particular the state's 'monopoly of violence'. This thesis suggests that Scotland did not lose its monopoly of violence and that, instead of being a sign of the regal union's failure, underdevelopment actually indicates success. The Royal Navy shielded Scotland from much of the maritime insecurity which would generate demands to create a significant Scottish naval force. However, this relative success was not indicative of British development providing structures to allow the Royal Navy to react well to Scottish defence needs. Multiple monarchy was a poor organisational structure and AngloScottish communication on naval matters was either poor or non-existent. Instead, geopolitical and strategic factors meant that much Royal Naval provision principally aimed at English defence also helped Scotland. That these factors did not lead to equal protection against all types of maritime threats offers an alternative explanation for the maritime tensions between England and Scotland in the 1690s which Eric Graham identifies with the imposition of English mercantilism on Scotland.

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited<br>This thesis developed a deterministic Markov state model to provide the U.S. Navy Nurse Corps a tool to more accurately forecast recruiting goals and future years force structure. Nurse Corps data was provided by the Nurse Corps Community Manager's office covering fiscal years 1990 to 2003. The probabilities used in the Markov model were derived from the fiscal year data. Transitions used in this model were stay at present grade, move up one grade or exit the system. Backward movement was not allowed and individuals could only move up one grade per year. The model was limited to eleven years and focused primarily on the ranks of O-1 to O-3. O-4's and O-5's that appeared in the data were allowed to flow through the system. Logistic regression was then used to investigate the probability of "staying" in the Nurse Corps to certain career decision points. Nurse Corps cohort data files for fiscal years 90 through 94 were merged for analysis, as was cohort data for fiscal year 96 through 98. Results of the markov model show that the O-1's and O-2's reach a steady state at the eight-year mark while the O-3's reach a steady state at the seventeen-year mark (based on provided data). The steady state values are compared to actual Nurse Corps goals. Results of the logistic regression show that Recalls, Medical Enlisted Commissioning Program and Nurse Candidate Program were all significant at increasing the probability of staying in the Nurse Corps. Males were more likely than females to stay in the Nurse Corps and changes in education levels decreased the probability of staying in the Nurse Corps.<br>Lieutenant, United States Navy

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.<br>This thesis analyzes the effects of unemployment on first-term attrition for U.S. Navy enlisted personnel in the pay grades of E-1 to E-9 with no prior service that attrited between fiscal years 1999 and 2007. Four separate probit models were formed to analyze the effect of the state unemployment rate on first-term attrition for Navy enlisted personnel for cohorts during six months of service, 12 months of service, 24 months of service and 45 months of service. A second model type analyzed attrition over a specific period of time. Attrition was estimated during six months, between 6-12 months of service, between 12--24 months of service and between 24--45 months of service. These models were developed to predict the likelihood of an enlisted sailor attriting when state unemployment rates increase by one percentage point. The independent variables for the two models types included demographic variables, such as Black, White, Asian, Native American, other race, education years, age, female, male, AFQT__score, pay grade dependents, no dependents, first enlistment with bonus, and first enlistment no bonus. Dummy variables for 1999-2007 and dummy variables for states were created to explain any bias of attrition by circumstances, such as the economy. Consistent negative effects on attrition included unemployment rate, Blacks, AFQT scores, years of education and pay grade. Positive influences included age, having no dependents, and females.

Better understanding the relationship between the results for the U.S. House of Representatives and for state executive offices could potentially be useful in predicting outcomes if a significant relationship is present and if one has more information about either the election for the U.S. House of Representatives candidate or the state executive office candidate. To better understand this relationship, election results were analyzed using regression models for three upper Midwest states - Iowa, Minnesota, and North Dakota - to compare the outcomes of the state executive office elections and the U.S. House of Representative elections. Additionally, median income was included in the models to see if this affected the relationship. Each state had a statistically significant relationship between the results of the state executive offices and the U.S. House of Representatives. Median income either was not statistically significant or not practically significant in overall effect on the relationship.

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited<br>In a time when defense spending is under close scrutiny, each command faces a potential shortage of funding. There is, in theory, a level of resource, called the critical mass of core resources, below which a command cannot continue to fulfill stated mission objectives. This thesis develops a critical mass/core resource model for use in Navy budgeting and applies the model to the Naval Auxiliary Landing Field, Crows Landing, CA. The model may be more useful than the current incremental approaches in the formulation, negotiation, and execution phases of budgeting. The model provides a framework that may strengthen and protect the command from priorities imposed by outside forces, or, more likely, will permit commands to identify mission opportunity costs or losses resulting from budget cuts. The critical mass model may be superior to current budget formats in the execution phase because resources are normally allocated on mission priority.<br>http://archive.org/details/budgetingundercr00gilb<br>Lieutenant Commander, United States Navy

In this thesis I based on Fowler’s method of syntax analysis construct a flow scheme which I then use to make a syntax analysis of former State Secretary Lars Danielsson’s statements, in his autobiography, regarding his responsibility in the Swedish government’s management of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami disaster. The focus of the flow scheme is how grammatical constructions can be used in the interest of rhetoric’s to on the syntax (non-explicit) level of the text indicate and place responsibility with or outside of involved individuals. The main conclusion of the syntax analysis performed is that Danielsson in his autobiography in fact does not use very many of the constructions described in the flow scheme, whereby it can be concluded that the syntax analysis in this case wasn’t so ”revealing”. However two complementary methods of text analysis; a metaphor analysis of the title of Danielsson’s autobiography ”In the shadow of power” and an analysis of the explicit level of the text, has revealed a conscious rhetorical argumentation regarding the question and placing of responsibility. A functional tool for syntax analysis has furthermore, regardless of the results, been constructed and is free for others to use and modify in their research.

Contexto: O financiamento e o acesso aos medicamentos especializados no Brasil baseia-se em normas para dispensação equânime à população. Entretanto, as Secretarias Estaduais de Saúde (SES) enfrentam dificuldades que levam o cidadão a recorrer ao Poder Judiciário e obter liminares que impactam o orçamento das SES, criando-se um círculo vicioso de demanda infinita, acesso restrito e escassez de recursos. O Banco de Preços em Saúde (BPS), disponível pelo Ministério da Saúde desde 1998, atua como ferramenta de apoio aos processos licitatórios e acompanhamento dos preços praticados no mercado. Em razão do pouco uso e da crescente expedição de normas que determinam a participação das SES no BPS, o sistema foi totalmente reformulado, de modo a atender as necessidades dos gestores estaduais em conseguir bons preços e evitar os processos judiciais. Objetivos: Apresentar o aprimoramento do Banco de Preços em Saúde (BPS) do Ministério da Saúde para que identifique os recursos utilizados na aquisição de medicamentos especializados e possibilite aos gestores estaduais o monitoramento e a avaliação dos gastos com este componente de alto custo. Métodos: Seleção de quatro SES participantes do BPS desde 2004 e com histórico sequencial de compras informadas no sistema. Levantamento de informações junto as secretarias selecionadas sobre os sistemas locais de armazenamento de dados de compras, e obtenção dos elencos de medicamentos especializados pactuados com a União. Análise comparativa entre as listas das SES e do BPS, utilizando como padrão de referência a Portaria nº 106/09. Desenvolvimento de novas funcionalidades e relatórios no Banco de Preços, de modo a proporcionar ao gestor informação e segurança para licitar e comprar. Resultados: Reformulação total do Banco de Preços, introduzindo ações e relatórios que permitem ao gestor estadual o acompanhamento de suas compras através do sistema. Possibilidade de identificação da variação de preços praticados nas aquisições administrativas e demandas judiciais, induzindo a formação de reserva técnica para atender liminares. Estabelecimento de ampla base de dados para pesquisa de preços contendo informações de compras dos três níveis de gestão e área privada, facilitando a inserção de compras através de ferramentas de importação automatizadas. Adesão das 27 SES no BPS após seu lançamento em 2008 correspondendo a 100% do esperado, ainda que nem todas secretarias estejam alimentando o sistema. Considerações Finais: Apesar dos programas nacionais de distribuição gratuita de medicamentos, ainda existem dificuldades no cumprimento das metas estabelecidas para dar amplo acesso aos mesmos. Diferentes fatores caracterizam-se como pontos frágeis no processo, como a ineficiência dos critérios de monitoramento das gestões públicas e o desconhecimento dos preços praticados no mercado. As soluções dependem da união de esforços entre sociedade, indústria, judiciário e poder executivo. Neste sentido, o BPS aprimorado pode ser uma contribuição relevante.<br>Context: Financing and access to specialized medications in Brazil are based on norms for equanimous dispensation for the population. Nevertheless, State Secretaries of Health (SSHs) face difficulties that lead the citizen to search the Judiciary to obtain preliminary orders which impact on the SSHs’ budget, resulting in a vicious circle of infinite demand, restricted access and paucity of resources. The Health Price Database (HPD), available through the Ministry of Health since 1998, acts as a supporting tool to bidding processes and follow up of prices offered in the market. Due to the rare use and the increasing dispatch of norms determining the participation of the SSHs in the HPD, the system has been totally reformulated in order to meet the need of state managers in attaining good prices and avoiding lawsuits. Objectives: To present the improvement of the HPD of the Ministry of Health in order to identify resources used in the acquisition of specialized medications and enable state managers to monitor and assess expenses with this high cost component. Methods: Four SSHs which participated in the HPD since 2004 and had a sequential history of purchases informed in the system were selected. Information was retrieved from selected secretaries on local storage systems of data on purchases and the catalogues of specialized medications agreed upon with the Union. A comparative analysis of SSHs and HPD lists was performed, using as standard the Ordinance n. 106/09. New functionalities and Base Price reports were developed in order that information and safety be provided to the manager to bid and purchase. Results: Total reformulation of Health Price Database, introducing actions and reports which allow the state manager to follow up his purchases through the system. Possibility of identifying price variation practiced in administrative acquisitions and legal demands, leading to the formation of technical reserve to meet preliminary orders. Establishment of a broad data base for price surveys containing information on purchases of the three levels of management and private area, favoring the insertion of purchases through automated importation tools. Adhesion of the 27 SSHs in the HPD after its inauguration in 2008, corresponding to 100% of what was expected, even if not all secretaries are feeding the system. Final Considerations: Despite the national programs of free distribution of medications, some difficulties prevail in the meeting of the targets established for the broad access to them. Diverse factors appear as weak points in the process, such as the inefficacy of monitoring criteria for public managements and the unfamiliarity with prices practiced in the market. Solutions depend on the joint efforts of society, industry, judiciary and executive. In this sense, the improved HPD may be a relevant contribution.

Bakgrund: Inom politik och media beskrivs unga arbetslösa som oengagerade, lågutbildade och socialt inkompetenta. Denna uppfattning förstärks när allt fler unga inte lyckats komma in på arbetsmarknaden och blir långvarigt arbetslösa. För att åtgärda problemet att ta sig in på arbetsmarknad, sätts de in på arbetsmarknadsåtgärder. Stämmer medias bild över verkligheten? Hur ser åtgärderna egentligen ut och hur påverkas de unga vuxna över tid som arbetslös? Ligger ansvaret för arbetslösheten på personerna själva eller finns det andra bakomliggande faktorer? Hur kan systemet eventuellt förbättras? Metod: För att ta reda på svaren har vi gjort en systematisk litteraturstudie där vi använt oss av 29 artiklar. Resultat: Ju längre arbetslöshet, desto svårare förutsättningar att komma ut på arbetsmarknaden. I takt med tiden försämras dessutom den fysiska, psykiska och sociala hälsan hos individen, vilket medför dubbla negativa konsekvenser. Om man är utan fullständigt gymnasiebetyg eller körkort, är chanserna för jobb bland de minsta. Dagens satsningar ligger framför allt på aktiveringsinsatser. Trots detta avslutar 25 procent gymnasiet utan fullständigt betyg. Slutsats: Arbetslöshet måste åtgärdas så tidigt som möjligt. Ett av de bästa alternativen för både individ och samhälle, är satsningar på kompletta gymnasiebetyg och billigare körkortskostnader. Detta skulle medföra att fler får grundförutsättningar och kvalifikationer för de flesta arbeten som saknar krav på eftergymnasial utbildning.

Mostrou a evolução da administração pública, investigando mais precisamente a história das Ouvidorias como sendo um dos instrumentos dessa democracia crescente. O papel que as ouvidorias públicas, em especial a Ouvidoria Fazendária do Estado de Pernambuco desempenha na relação entre o cidadão e a gestão pública e a história da SEFAZ-PE – Secretaria da Fazenda do Estado de Pernambuco foram alvo de sua reflexão. Os resultados dos seus estudos baseados na literatura sobre o tema e na experiência da Ouvidoria Fazendária demonstram até que ponto estes órgãos são representantes da sociedade, contribuindo para a conscientização da participação cidadã na administração pública e no processo de tomada de decisão do gestor público. Quanto à metodologia, a pesquisa foi descritiva, explicativa, bibliográfica, documental e de campo. O universo foi composto pelos cidadãos que efetuaram reclamação à Ouvidoria Fazendária do Estado de Pernambuco no ano de 2011 e os servidores do que trabalhavam no setor estudado. Os dados foram coletados através da realização de entrevistas aos funcionários do órgão e questionários enviados por email aos reclamantes, sendo tratados com abordagem qualitativa e estatística descritiva. Verificou-se com os resultados obtidos que os cidadãos usuários da Ouvidoria Fazendária reconhecem que ela representa um canal de participação, um exemplo prático de gestão social entre o cidadão e a gestão pública da SEFAZ-PE. O estudo sugere uma análise da melhoria da qualidade da gestão da Secretaria da Fazenda de PE aliada ao papel atuante da Ouvidoria Fazendária.<br>The research addressed the relationship between state and society, emphasizing democracy as a precursor to a participative management in which society interacts with the public administration, where the shared decision faces the common good, the social management. It showed the evolution of the public administration, investigating more precisely the history of the Ombudsman as an instrument of this growing democracy. The role that the public ombudsman, in particular the Treasury Ombudsman of the State of Pernambuco play in the relationship between citizens and public administration and the history of SEFAZ-PE – Secretaria da Fazenda do Estado de Pernambuco were the target of its reflection. The results of their studies based on literature on the subject and the experience of the Treasury Ombudsman demonstrate the extent to which these agencies are representatives of society, contributing to the awareness of citizen participation in public administration and decision-making process of public management. Regarding the methodology, the research was descriptive, explanatory, bibliographic, documental and field. The universe was composed by the citizens who made complaints to the Treasury Ombudsman of the state of Pernambuco in 2011 and servers working in the studied sector. The data were collected by conducting interviews with agency officials and questionnaires sent by email to the complainants, being treated with a qualitative approach and descriptive statistics. It was observed with the results that citizens users of the Treasury Ombudsman recognize that it represents a participation channel, a practical example of social management between the citizen and the public management of SEFAZ-PE. The study suggests an analysis of quality improvement of the management of the Secretary of Treasury of PE coupled with the active role of the Treasury Ombudsman.

Dès la signature de l’armistice, près de 70% des officiers généraux de marine de première section se retrouvent non seulement à des postes emblématiques de l’Etat français, mais aussi à des postes plus secondaires. Quelque soit la nature des ces fonctions, elles leur permettent, dans la plupart des cas, de se faire les hérauts de l’Etat français. Entrés en politique dès juin 1940 au gré des événements militaires, ces hommes présentent une cohérence sociale et professionnelle forte qui, à elle seule, ne suffit pourtant pas à expliciter ce ralliement massif au maréchal Pétain. Leur culture professionnelle et politique reste un élément majeur pour rendre compte de la rencontre idéologique entre ce corps et la Révolution nationale. Persuadés de la supériorité de leur modèle moral et culturel, ils voient dans ce régime, né des décombres de la Troisième République, l’opportunité de faire triompher leurs valeurs. L’obéissance militaire n’apparaît alors que comme un facteur certes réel mais secondaire pour expliciter ce ralliement. Chez l’amiral Darlan, en revanche, il semble bien que l’accession au pouvoir résulte d’un processus pensé et mûri dès mai 1940 et qui se poursuit pendant les six premiers mois de régime. Favorables à une gestion autoritaire du pouvoir, les amiraux portent les mesures d’exclusion et de retour à la tradition en fonction de leurs propres valeurs et des fonctions qu’ils exercent. Leurs pratiques politiques, directement héritées des méthodologies en vigueur dans la Marine, leurs entourages immédiats issus eux aussi de la Royale, contribuent avec la nature des actions qu’ils mettent en place, à alimenter leur réputation de mauvais politiques. L’épuration judiciaire et professionnelle sanctionne quelques uns d’entre eux, mais les procédures, prises sur la durée, d’amnistie et d’annulation par le conseil d’Etat des sanctions administratives permettent de tempérer les déclarations d’épuration rigoureuse. Un dictionnaire complète cette approche collective : il permet ainsi de suivre les itinéraires professionnels de chacun des quarante-neuf officiers généraux de marine étudiés, de rendre compte de leur rôle entre 1940 et 1944 et d’évoquer leur situation dans l’après guerre<br>As soon as the Armistice was signed, nearly 70% of general officers in the Navy found themselves not only in emblematic positions of the French State but also in secondary ones. Whatever the nature of these positions, they enabled them, in most cases, to be the messengers of the French State. Joining politics as early as June 1940, according to how military events happened, these men have a strong social and professional coherence which cannot explain, by itself, this huge rallying to marechal Petain. Their professional and political culture remains a key element in explaining the ideological meeting of this branch with the national Revolution. Convinced of the superiority of their moral and cultural model, they consider this regime, born on the ashes of the third Republic, as an opportunity to make their values prevail. Military obedience then appears as a real, although secondary factor to explain their rallying.As far as Admiral Darlan is concerned, though, this access to power, on the contrary, appears as deeply and carefully thought as soon as 1940 and goes on for the first six months of the regime. These admirals, who believe in an authoritarian management of power, hold the measures of exclusion and of return to the Tradition depending on their own values and on the positions they hold. Their political observance, directly inherited from the methods used in the Navy, as well as their immediate circles, also connected with the « Royale », contributes to their bad reputation as politicians too, because of the nature of their actions. Judicial and professional purge sometimes condemns some of them but the procedures of amnesty and invalidation taken by the Council of State concerning administrative sanctions permit to temper the declarations of strict purge. A dictionary completes this collective approach : it enables one to follow the professional route of each of these 49 general officers, to explain their role between 1940 and 1944 as well as to evoke their position after the war

O estudo ora apresentado retoma as discussões acerca da Formação de Professores a partir dos anos 1990, enfatizando a Formação Continuada de Professores no contexto dos anos 2000, e o papel da UNICAMP enquanto Instituição Formadora, na execução de Políticas voltadas à formação continuada dos profissionais da Educação Básica. Por meio da análise de Relatórios de Avaliação elaborados por agências externas de avaliação, Relatórios de Avaliação produzidos pelas coordenações dos Cursos,depoimentos, anotações em diários, documentos da própria Secretaria de Estado de Educação de São Paulo, dentre outros, foi possível constatara importância do trabalho realizado pela UNICAMP no tocante à Formação Continuada dos Profissionais da Educação Básica. No que concerne ao Programa Teia do Saber, os dados demonstraram que aproximadamente 85% dos professores que participaram do curso o avaliaram como Excelente ou Bom, retratando, portanto, em percentuais, as contribuições do curso às práticas pedagógicas desenvolvidas em sala de aula. No que diz respeito ao Curso de Especialização em Gestão Educacional,constatou-se que as experiências de cunho teórico-metodológico repercutiram de forma positiva na prática profissional dos gestores que participaram do Curso, uma vez que estespassaram a refletir sobre a realidade e a ter postura mais crítica acerca das políticas públicas, além de ressignificarem as ações desenvolvidas enquanto gestores. O Curso contribuiu, ainda, para: a melhoria nas relações dos gestores com os docentes, alunos e comunidade em geral;o desenvolvimento de novos processos de ação-reflexão-ação;uma nova postura frente ao Projeto Político Pedagógico e ao Planejamento de ensino, dentre outros.<br>Abstract: In this work we analyze the contributions of the State University of Campinas - UNICAMP to the continuous formation of professionals involved in basic education within the public school network in the State of São Paulo, Brazil. The focus of the analysis is set on the programs Teia do Saber (Web of Knowledge) and Curso de Especialização em GestãoEducacional (Specialization Course in Educational Management) offered by UNICAMP between 2002 and 2007. We resume the discussions about the formation of teachers since the nineties, emphasizing the continuous formation of teachers through the program Formação Continuada de Professores (Continuous Formation of Teachers) since 2000 and th e role of UNICAMP as a forming institution executing policies directed to the continuous formation of professionals involved in basic education. The importance of the contribution of UNICAMP is evaluated based on evaluation reports of external agencies, reports of coordinators of the courses, testimonies, notes in diaries and documents of the State Secretary for Education of the State of São Paulo. From all those sources the importance of the work developed at UNICAMP in the continuous formation of professionals in basic educations could be verified. Concerning the program Teia do Saber, the data show that approximately 85% of the participating teachers evaluated the course as 'excellent' or 'good', thus reflecting in percentages the contribution of this course to the pedagogical practices applied in classroom. With respect to the program Curso de Especialização em Gestão Educacional we observe that the theoretical and methodological approaches of the experience reflected positively on the professional practices of the managers participating in the course, awakening in them a deeper thinking and a more critical view about public policies and reality. Our analysis reveals that the participants have been led to re-interpret their actions as managers, improving their relationship with teachers, pupils and external community, and developing new processes of action-reflection-action, assuming among other points, a new view of pedagogical policies and planning of education.<br>Doutorado<br>Ensino e Práticas Culturais<br>Doutor em Educação

Para tanto, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar o projeto Escola de Tempo Integral (ETI) e o Programa Ensino Integral (PEI) da SEE/SP a partir de seus documentos oficiais a fim de refletir sobre suas permanências e mudanças. A partir disto buscamos: Compreender o que é educação integral e educação de tempo integral a partir da concepção de alguns autores; resgatar a maneira como esta temática foi materializada na trajetória da escola pública brasileira e paulista; identificar como a temática é abordada em algumas das legislações educacionais brasileiras em vigência e analisar os documentos legais referentes ao projeto Escola de Tempo Integral (ETI) e o Programa Ensino Integral (PEI). Baseados no procedimento metodológico da análise documental desenvolvido por Cellard (2010), analisamos 14 documentos referentes a ETI e 20 ao PEI. Elaboramos algumas categorias para análise: desenho da política, jornada, organização curricular, atribuição de aulas, regime de trabalho, avaliação e gestão. Identificamos permanências nas categorias em relação à jornada, com um período de aproximadamente 8h30mim no ensino fundamental. Na avaliação, na qual, os conteúdos relacionados com a base comum curricular são priorizados em detrimento da parte diversificada. E na organização curricular, uma vez que, o currículo da ETI é organizado a partir da ampliação do modelo já existente, já no PEI, a organização foi elaborada de maneira mais articulada, entretanto, em ambas as propostas curriculares, é possível enxergar um direcionamento para uma formação tecnicista, com foco nos conteúdos das avaliações externas. As categorias apresentaram mudanças no tocante ao desenho da política, que na ETI é destinada prioritariamente para áreas com baixo IDH, já no PEI não há este pré-requisito, sua implementação está condicionada a escolha da escola. Na atribuição de aulas, que na ETI é diferente para os docentes das disciplinas da base comum curricular e da parte diversificada, no PEI, os profissionais são contratados a partir de um processo seletivo único e específico para o programa. Na gestão, que no PEI segue um modelo desenvolvido para a gestão empresarial que foi transplantado para estas escolas. E no regime de trabalho, uma vez que, no PEI, os professores atuam com dedicação exclusiva e recebem uma gratificação salarial de 75%, entretanto, sua permanência no programa depende do processo de avaliação anual. Apesar de terem sido implementadas pelo mesmo governo, constatamos que ETI e PEI são políticas educacionais bem diferentes, uma vez que, o período, o contexto e os sujeitos envolvidos em sua elaboração e execução são distintos.<br>This dissertation has the following research problem to be elucidated: what are the permanencies and changes existed between the Full-time School (ETI) and the Integral Education Program (PEI) of the SEE/SP? To answer this question, the research aimed to analyze the project of the Full-time School (ETI) and the Integral Education Program (PEI) of the SEE/SP from its official documents in order to reflect on their permanencies and changes. From this, we seek to understand what integral education and full-time education is according to the conception of some authors; to rescue how this theme was materialized in the trajectory of the Brazilian and São Paulo public school; to identify how the subject is addressed in some of the current Brazilian educational legislation and to analyze the legal documents related to the project of the Full-time School (ETI) and the Integral Education Program (PEI). Based on the methodological procedure of document analysis developed by Cellard (2010), we analyzed 14 documents referring to the ETI and 20 to the PEI. We elaborated some categories for analysis: policy design, school day, curricular organization, assignment of classes, employment regime, evaluation and management. We identified permanencies in the categories regarding the school day, with the duration of approximately 8 hours and 30 minutes in elementary school. In the evaluation, in which the contents related to the common curricular base are prioritized to the detriment of more diversified activities. And in the curricular organization, since the ETI curriculum is organized from the expansion of the already existing model, while the PEI organization was elaborated in a more articulated way, however, in both curricular proposals, it is possible to observe a technical training as target, focusing on the contents of external evaluations. The categories revealed changes regarding the design of the policy, the ETI is intended primarily to assist areas with a low HDI, while the PEI does not have such prerequisite, its implementation is conditional on the choice of the school. In the assignment of classes, in the ETI it is different for the teachers who work with the common curricular base subjects and with the diversified area, whereas in the PEI, the professionals are hired after a single and specific selection process for the program. In management, which the PEI follows a model developed for business management that was transferred to these schools. And in the employment regime, since teachers work under an exclusive dedication service and receive a 75% salary bonus in the PEI, however, their permanence in the program depends on an annual evaluation process. Although the ETI and PEI have been implemented by the same government, we found that they consist of very different educational policies, since the period, the context and the subjects involved in their elaboration and execution vary.

Il existe une continuité dans l’« idée » russe de l’Etat qu’une analogie dans la continuité des systèmes ne reflète pas. De la Russie impériale à la Russie soviétique, l’Etat (Gosudarstvo) n’est pas conçu comme une entité abstraite et autonome. A la dimension césariste du pouvoir correspond la non-émergence, et du concept et de la réalité d’un Etat. Jusqu’en 1917, la conception russe du pouvoir est conditionnée par le discours idéologique – religieux. Après 1917, sa principale caractéristique est d’être subordonnée à l’idéologie, en tant qu’expression de la volonté du Parti communiste. L’Etat soviétique s’impose donc comme un Etat « de fait » et non comme un Etat « de droit ». La prédominance du discours idéologique entrave, à la fois, la constitution d’une culture de l’Etat, qui reste une culture du pouvoir, et la formation d’une culture de l’antériorité et de la supériorité du droit sur l’Etat. Après la désintégration de l’Union soviétique, la référence à la démocratie libérale et à l’Etat de droit devient un outil de la création d’une nouvelle légitimité pour l’Etat postcommuniste. L’entrée de la Russie dans la modernité politique nécessite une rupture avec les postulats idéologiques du passé. Or, la déconstruction du socialisme est un processus beaucoup plus complexe que la construction de la démocratie. Bien qu’ayant subi, sur plusieurs siècles, plusieurs types de transitions – de l’absolutisme de droit divin au socialisme, puis au postcommunisme -, l’Etat russe a donc conservé certains caractères constants et typiques qui en font, encore aujourd’hui, un modèle hybride, en tension entre autoritarisme et démocratie<br>There is a continuity as concerns the « idea » of the state that an analogy with the different systems does not reflect. From imperial to Soviet Russia, the state (Gosudarstvo) is not thought of as an abstract and autonomous entity. Until 1917, the Russian conception of power is conditioned by the religious ideological discourse. After 1917, her main feature is one of submission to ideology, in other words the expression of the will of the Communist Party. The Soviet state stands out by its « de facto » nature, rather than a « de jure » state. The supremacy of the ideological discourse hampers both the constitution of a new state culture, which remains focused on power, and the formation of the precedence and the superiority of law over the state. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, reference to liberal democracy and the rule of law becomes a tool in creating renewed legitimacy for the postcommunist state. Russia’s entry into political modernity demands a rupture with the ideological postulates of the past. The dismantlement of socialism is a much more complex process than the construction of democracy. Despite having been subjected, over centuries, to many types of transition – absolutism founded on divine right to socialism, then postcommunism -, the Russian state has always preserved certain features (be they constant or specific) that make it, and still today, a hybrid model pulling towards both authoritarianism and democracy

This thesis investigates the progress of technological development during the interwar period of 1919 to 1939. The interwar period was a time of slashed military budgets and isolationist policies. However, despite political, financial, and organizational handicaps, each branch of the military made significant progress in the development of military technology, and the air corps and navy achieved significantly better results. The reason these two branches were able succeed was through a combination of organizational policy and the development of an overarching goal for their respective branch. Within this thesis, I investigated each of the major military branches during the interwar period, specifically the United States Army, Army Air Corps, and Navy. The air corps is considered a separate branch despite being a segment of the army due to its different strategic goal and its growing independence during the interwar period. In my research I found that the army made by far the least technological progress, but did make significant strides in terms of the development of individual components for larger projects. For example, the army developed the M1 rifle and state-of-the-art shock absorbers for tanks. The air corps succeeded in transforming from a small army auxiliary made up of wood-and-fabric biplanes into a largely independent branch of the military made up of all-metal monoplane bombers. The navy developed the aircraft carrier and aircraft to accompany the new ships, in addition to making substantial upgrades to existing ships. These upgrades included strengthening ships against torpedo attacks, making engines more efficient, and adding anti-aircraft guns to the ships' arsenals.<br>ID: 030422712; System requirements: World Wide Web browser and PDF reader.; Mode of access: World Wide Web.; Thesis (M.A.)--University of Central Florida, 2011.; Includes bibliographical references (p. 98-105).<br>M.A.<br>Masters<br>History<br>Arts and Humanities

Cette thèse étudie un groupe de familles alliées au XVIe siècle, formant un clan de pouvoir aux vastes dimensions. Guillaume Bochetel, secrétaire d’État de 1547 à sa mort en 1558, est l’architecte de ce clan. Par les alliances nouées pour ses enfants, il a rassemblé autour de lui plusieurs familles de robins en ascension par le service du roi, les L’Aubespine, les Bourdin, les Morvillier notamment qui, à leur tour, ont apporté leurs propres alliés, comme les Neufville ou les Brulart. L’étude est menée du XVe siècle, moment où plusieurs familles se mettent au service des princes dans le Val de Loire, et le début du XVIIe siècle lorsque le clan se délite progressivement, laissant pour héritier politique Villeroy, secrétaire d’État de Charles IX à Louis XIII. Il s’agit de mettre en évidence un groupe de pouvoir particulier, marqué par une forte solidarité, et l’importance des liens du sang, dont les membres exercent les plus hautes charges sous les Valois. Ils détiennent la plupart des secrétariats d’État entre 1547 et 1588 et occupent régulièrement des charges diplomatiques en Europe. Le fonctionnement d’un tel clan, avec ses rivalités, les rôles dévolus à chacun, et ses différentes figures est mis en avant. Le clan, par son ancrage en Berry, où il dispose de nombreux alliés, permet également d’examiner la manière dont se noue le dialogue entre la cour de France et les provinces. Les hommes et les femmes du clan ont en partage une identité sociale particulière, entre haute robe cultivée et noblesse. Ce clan offre ainsi un miroir des transformations de la monarchie française à l’époque moderne, entre État domestique et naissance progressif d’une administration expérimentée<br>This thesis study a familial group which composes a clan of power whose extension is very large. Guillaume Bochetel, secretary of State between 1547 and his death in 1558, is the architect of this clan. Through the alliances forged for his children he has reunited around him several families of “robins” who move up the social ladder thanks the service of the king, such as the L’Aubespine, the Bourdin or the Morvillier who in turn have brought their own allies, such as the Neufville or the Brulart. The study covers a period between the 15th century, when several families start serving the princes of the Val de Loire and the beginning of the 17th century when the clan is progressively fading away leaving Villeroy as the political heir, secretary of State between Charles IX and Louis XIII. The purpose is to underline a particular group of power marked by a strong solidarity and the importance of blood links, whose members hold the highest offices under the Valois. They possess the majority of the secretaries of State between 1547 and 1588 and are regularly sent as diplomates in Europe. The functioning of this clan with its rivalries, the roles given to each member and its different figures is outlined. The clan, through his allies in Berry, allows to study the dialog between the French court and the provinces. The men and women of this clan share a particular social identity, between the “haute robe” and the nobility. This clan offers also a mirror of the transformations of the French monarchy in the modern era, between a domestic state and the progressive birth of an experimented administration

Activity of Ecclesiastical Secretaries at Šumperk region till 1968. The thesis comprises of activities of ecclesiastical secretaries in Šumperk district. The frame of the work covers period from year 1948 till 1968. After a breaf description of situation in Olomouc diocese after February 1948, the text follows territorial delimination of Šumperk district during fifties and sixties. Then it takes a closer look at influence of secretaries during specific years and from their reports to the senior authority it's trying to determine the most important events and problems of roman catholic church at that time. Special part belongs to religious teaching (connected with difficulties of joining this subject) and antireligious propaganda, therefore atheistic education. Further the text follows litigations of priests, that were unlawfully sentenced and imprisoned based on fabricated cases of communist regime. Even though these were local cases, that no one knew about past the district borders, it is worthwhile mentioning them as they substantially influenced lives of these priest. Last but not least the attention is brought to persons of ecclesiastical secretaries and priests, that had to try to get on under the pressure despite being on oposite sides of the barricade.

The diploma thesis concerns itself with a struggle of the administration of the Protectorate Bohemia and Moravia to deal with the consequences of the German action of 17th November, when as a revenge for previous demonstrations Czech universities in the Protectorate were closed and more than a thousand of their students were arrested and sent to concentration camps in Germany. The thesis is divided into 4 main chapters. The first one concerns itself concisely with reasons, course and immediate consequences of the German "Special action of 17th November 1939". The content of the second chapter is formed by an exposition of a struggle to achieve liberation of the jailed students and their comeback home that was realised by the interventions of the state president Hácha and the Protectorate government at the representatives of the occupation regime; and then an inquest of their tactics and its successfulness at these interventions. A topic of the next chapter is a description and an analysis of the problems accompanying the closure of Czech universities, with which the Protectorate government was also forced to deal. Among them there were for example a placement of the students, who were not jailed but prevented from continuing in their studies and whom the Protectorate government strove to protect...

This thesis follows the development of Howard Charles Green’s (1895-1989) views on war and disarmament as both a private citizen and as a Member of Parliament. It draws its conclusions from a large archival base. Beginning with Green’s experiences in the First World War, this thesis charts Green’s views on war through to the United Nations Irish Resolution on disarmament of December 20, 1960. Contrary to current historiography examining the Diefenbaker period, it proves that Green’s beliefs about war only changed after his appointment as Secretary of State for External Affairs in June 1959, and even then it took time for his new ideals to “harden.” Prior to his “conversion” he believed that war remained a viable aspect of foreign policy and often encouraged its fuller prosecution.

The qualifying work first talks about the political career and personal life of Karel Hermann Frank, a former state secretary and a German state minister for the territory of the Protectorate. His typical double-role of the Reich and the Autonomous autorities of the administrative system of the Czech-Moravian space is described in detail. Frank's position was also investigated outside of this state in relation to the offices of the former Czechoslovak border, the NSDAP and the leading posts in Berlin. This analysis was carried out not only on the basis of professional literature in the Czech, English and German languages, but also on the basis of the chosen official correspondence of K. H. Frank. This has led to research that has confirmed, or overturned, and has greatly enriched what historians have been researching in this historical area.

Trabalho de projeto<br>O presente trabalho de projeto pretende apresentar um Modelo integrado de Gestão das Finanças Públicas para Portugal que se constitua como uma alteração estrutural duradoura no âmbito das finanças públicas nacionais, permitindo contribuir para resolução dos seus problemas recorrentes, garantindo a sua transparência e a accountability de todos os envolvidos na sua gestão. Neste sentido, o presente trabalho estrutura-se em três capítulos. O primeiro capítulo apresenta uma perspetiva abrangente sobre o Estado e a Administração Pública ao longo tempo, desde o início da modernidade às mais recentes reformas. O segundo capítulo efetua o diagnóstico da situação atual da Gestão das Finanças Públicas (GFP) em Portugal através das redes que se podem observar e das fragilidades existentes. Por último, o terceiro capítulo apresenta uma proposta de melhoria que pela construção de um modelo integrado de GFP em Portugal, efetuando um enquadramento genérico do mesmo e desenvolvendo os aspetos de integração, atendendo ao aconselhado pelas boas práticas internacionais, e estabelecendo as diretrizes principais do funcionamento das redes identificadas no âmbito do modelo. O modelo apresentado pretende resolver as fragilidades identificadas através da integração das funções da GFP: Contabilidade, Orçamento e Tesouro. Para tal é necessária a utilização pela plenitude das administrações públicas da contabilidade com base de acréscimo assente num plano de contas adequado, a revisão dos classificadores do Orçamento do Estado (OE) e a adoção de uma boa governança do OE, o desenvolvimento de um sistema de conta única do Tesouro, no contexto de uma gestão de tesouraria moderna.<br>This research project intends to present an integrated model of Public Financial Management for Portugal as a lasting structural change in national public finances, concurring to solve their recurring problems, ensuring the transparency and accountability of all involved in its management. In this sense, this paper is divided into three chapters. The first chapter presents a comprehensive perspective on the state and public administration over time, since the beginning of modernity to the latest reforms. The second chapter makes the diagnosis of the current situation of the Public Financial Management (PFM) in Portugal through the networks that can be observed and existing weaknesses. Finally, the third chapter presents a proposal to improve it by building an integrated model of PFM in Portugal, setting up a generic framework and developing aspects of integration, given the international good practices, and establishing the main guidelines for the operation of networks identified in the model. The proposed model aims to solve the weaknesses identified by integrating the functions of PFM: Accounting, Budget and Treasury. This means the use of accrual accounting based on a suitable chart of accounts by the fullness of government, the review of State Budget classifiers, the adoption of State Budget good governance and the development of a Treasury Single Account system, in the context of a modern cash management.
