Abstract:
This study examined the usefulness of the California Music Educators Association Music Educating K-6 Scope and Sequence (K-4 sections) by assessing its alignment with the National Standards for Arts Education (K-4 section). The investigation (limited to K-4 because of the organization of the National Standards) asked California elementary music educators how effectively the CMEA K-6 S&S communicated concepts specified in the Standards. An analysis identified 32 differences in grades K-4 between the CMEA K-6 S&S and the National Standards. After content validation by a panel of experts, a 43-item researcher-designed survey solicited preferences and comments from a systematic random sample of 300 California elementary music teachers. The survey responses were quantitative evaluated to determine how important these 32 differences were to music educators and whether to revise the CMEA K-6 S&S. Data from the 129 surveys returned revealed that in 26 of the 32 conceptual differences between the two documents, 85% of the population favored revision; that 61% preferred the rigor demanded in the CMEA K-6 S&S in 5 out of 6 items in the reading and notating music content area; and that 41% preferred a revision of the CMEA K-6 S&S to align with the National Standards in format. Of the respondents, 84% felt that the revised CMEA K-6 S&S would be a useful document in justifying music education to administrators, parents and classroom teachers: 82% felt that it would be useful in designing assessment instruments. The respondents requested in-service sessions in improvisation, the composition and arrangement of music, and the understanding of relationships between music and the other arts and disciplines. It is recommended that grades K-4 of the CMEA K-6 S&S be revised according to the preferences of California elementary music educators as revealed in this study.

Abstract:
Uncertainty is an important determinant of economic developments at both micro and macroeconomic levels. The main objective of this thesis is to examine the effects of economic and model uncertainty, paying close attention to financial factors as a key mechanism that propagates and amplifies business cycle movements. The first part of the thesis studies the impact of uncertainty on bank assets portfolios allocation. In chapter 1 I do this empirically by estimating a set of vector autoregression models. I show that a positive shock to uncertainty leads to reallocation of portfolios by commercial banks: they reduce issuance of business loans, while increasing the stock of safe assets - cash and Treasury and agency securities. I also demonstrate that when risk, uncertainty and balance sheet factors are controlled for, business loans decrease after monetary tightening, what allows to resolve the puzzle raised by den Haan et al. (2007) that business loans increase following monetary contraction. In chapter 2 I examine the relationship between economic uncertainty and asset portfolio allocation of banks in a theoretical model. The model incorporates a portfolio-optimizing banking sector facing non-diversifiable credit risk, where banks’ attitude to risk and expected profitability help to explain the endogenous movements of the risk premium. The premium charged by risk-averse banks provides self-insurance from profitability reduction brought about by heightened uncertainty about entrepreneurial productivity. Financial accelerator mechanism amplifies the portfolio reallocation effect of uncertainty shock. In the second part of the thesis I study how financial frictions affect robustness of monetary policy rules in New Keynesian models in case of model uncertainty. I demonstrate that when there is uncertainty about what type of financial frictions is at work, a policymaker exposes economy to risks of significant welfare losses by using a reference model without frictions as an economy representation.

Abstract:
The goal of this Project was to monitor and measure ongoing changes in the geomorphology of one reach of The Desert Knolls Wash (DKW), an unstable ephemeral stream channel in Apple Valley, California. The DKW flows into the Mojave River just upstream of the Upper Mojave Narrows, a historic site that has been the focus of recorded human activity in the region since 1776. Two surveyed cross-sections were established for three periods of time between November 2012 and November 2014 which were to be re-measured after significant flows. However, owing to the persistent drought in the location, there were no significant changes observed. Aerial photos from 1938 to 2005 and historic photos from 1919 covering the DKW were studied to note the increase in urban density. The project has established baseline field measurements to document the magnitude and timing of the ongoing channel changes as well as predict what will happen over the next two decades if measures are not taken to stabilize the channel permanently.

Abstract:
Solid waste management in high density low-income areas is a problem that manifests itself in ubiquitous illegal dumpsites and unhealthy living environmental conditions. Community participation in solid waste management in Duncan Village, C-Section has been found to be part of the solution to this problem. This study investigates community participation in SWM at household level, community waste project level and at informal salvaging/scavenging level. The integration of community participation into existing Buffalo City Municipality waste management plans and the nature of the relationship between the different interest groups are investigated. This study employs qualitative research methods where interviews and participatory observations are used to investigate key objectives. The nature of the relationships between councillors, C-Section residents and the Buffalo City Municipality Departments are tenuous and fraught with conflicts. These conflicts emerge due to the lack of communication as well as due to the non-integration of the community interest groups‟ views and activities into solid waste management in C-Section. The study suggests that this lack of communication should be addressed and that integrated participation of all stakeholders must be encouraged for effective solid waste management in a high density low-income community.

Holmes, Kirsten Janet. "Volunteer and visitor interaction in the UK heritage sector : motives and benefits." Thesis, University of Leeds, 2002. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/2607/.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines the motivation of volunteers through a study of front-of-house volunteers in museums and heritage visitor attractions in the UK. The heritage sector proved an appropriate population for the study sample due to the wide involvement of volunteers. A review of the literature found that research on volunteering had developed along two paradigms: the economic model, which views volunteers as unpaid workers; and the leisure model, which considers volunteering as a leisure activity. Within the heritage sector, the economic model was found to dominate. The study adopted a case study methodology in order to investigate the contexts within which volunteers are motivated. However, a major consideration of the research was to maximise the external validity of the study and 222 volunteers were interviewed across ten case studies. The findings of this thesis show that volunteers consider their activity to be a leisure activity, although this does not conflict with the introduction of professional volunteer management procedures. Volunteer motivation was found to change with length of service. Initially volunteers were motivated by intrinsic motives, in particular subject interest, while extrinsic motives, particularly social opportunities motivated them to continue to volunteer. An Interaction Model of Volunteer Motivation was proposed as a means of understanding and identifying the role of social opportunities in motivating volunteers. In addition, volunteers within the heritage sector are typically older, retired individuals and the act of retirement was found to have a significant impact on their decision to volunteer. The significance volunteers attributed to their encounters with visitors reinforced the importance of social interaction in motivating front-of-house volunteers. Three models of encounters were proposed: the service encounter, the host-guest encounter and peer tutoring. The volunteer-visitor encounter was found to be a hybrid of the three models,with volunteers gammg enjoyable social interaction and visitors learning from the encounter.

Abstract:
Trabalho apresentado à Universidade Fernando Pessoa como parte dos requisitos para obtenção do grau de Mestre em Medicina Dentária.
A estética assume um papel cada vez mais importante em pleno século XXI, tendo um impacto na sociedade a nível laboral, económico e afectivo, afectando o dia-a-dia do indivíduo. A concepção do sorriso ideal, é feita tendo como base critérios objectivos mensuráveis mas também depende de parâmetros subjectivos. As proporções da maioria dos sorrisos belos aproximam-se, mas não coincidem com as proporções douradas. É importante adaptar as regras a cada caso individual. Desta forma, é importante a avaliação sistemática de parâmetros macroestéticos, periodontais e microestéticos. O diastema surge como um desvio ao que é dito como esteticamente belo. Os conceitos estéticos aplicados ao encerramento de diastemas no sector anterior compõem o tema em foco nesta monografia, que é sustentada por uma revisão bibliográfica, em que foram usadas as palavras-chave: aesthetic parameter, anterior restaurations, diastema closure, diastema composite, midline diastemas, mock up, semi-direct simulation. É importante, um diagnóstico cuidadoso e detalhado do diastema, evidenciando a sua causa, permitindo desta forma ao clínico a escolha de um tratamento mais adequado, mediante as opções existentes, que muitas vezes possuem actuação multidisciplinar. Os diferentes tipos de tratamento (i.e., prótese fixa, ortodontia, dentística restauradora) têm vantagens e limitações. O encerramento de diastemas com resinas compostas é um método conservador, reversível e esteticamente muito aceitável, tornando-se uma óptima alternativa para solucionar este problema estético.O sucesso do tratamento depende, de uma análise criteriosa da situação clínica, para se seleccionarem os materiais e técnicas operatórias mais adequadas. É importante estudar cada caso, planear e adaptar as regras às diferentes situações. Aesthetics have assumed an ever-growing part in broad 21st century, having an impact in society at labor, economic and affective levels, affecting the every day life of an individual. The conception of an ideal smile is done taking into consideration measurable base criteria, but it also depends of more subjective parameters. The proportions of most beautiful smiles are close to each other, but they don’t coincide with the golden ratios. It’s important to adapt the rules to each individual case. This way, the systematical evaluation of macro-aesthetic, periodontal and micro-aesthetic parameters is important. The diastema appears as a deviation of what is said as aesthetically beautiful. The aesthetical concepts applied to the diastema closures in the anterior section compose the main theme of this monograph, which is supported by a bibliographic revision in which the following key-words have been used: aesthetic parameter, anterior restaurations, diastema closure, diastema composite, midline diastemas, mock up, semi-direct simulation. A careful and detailed diagnosis of the diastema is important, evidencing its cause and allowing the clinic the choice of the most suitable treatment, according to the available options which frequently require a multi-disciplinary action. The different kinds of treatment (i.e., fixed prosthesis, orthodontic, restoring dentistry) have advantages and disadvantages. The diastema closures using compost resins are a conservative method,reversible and quite acceptable aesthetically, becoming an optimum alternative for solving this aesthetic problem. The success of the treatment depends of a careful analysis of the clinical situation, in order to select the most adequate materials and operation techniques. It’s important to study each case, and to plan and adapt the rules to the different situations.

Aldrugi, A. M. "Environmental disclosure in the Libyan oil and gas sector." Thesis, Nottingham Trent University, 2013. http://irep.ntu.ac.uk/id/eprint/206/.

Full text
Abstract:
Since 1990, interest in environmental disclosure (ED) has grown, and it is now seen as one of the most important types of social disclosure (Islam et al., 2005). This attention has not come out of the blue; as environmental costs rise year on year, it has become increasingly important to disclose these costs, as they can significantly impact upon the decisions made by the users of financial statements. This is especially important in light of the fierce competition between local and global companies. Concerned investors have therefore started to press for environmental information to be disclosed in companies’ annual reports. The vast majority of studies in the field of ED have so far focused on developed territories such as Western Europe, America and Australia, neglecting developing countries. The present study is motivated by the lack of research in developing countries in general and Libya in particular. It is an empirical investigation into the ED practices of oil and gas companies operating in Libya. This study is the first to explore ED practices in the oil and gas sector in Libya. This sector, which is considered one of the most polluting industrial sectors, accounts for 70% of Libyan’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and 98% of the country’s exports (Central Bank of Libya, 2009a). The main objectives of the present study are to identify the current state of ED, as described in the accounting literature, to observe how it is represented in the annual reports of oil companies operating in Libya, and to investigate the determinants of and reasons for ED. In addition, the study attempts to clarify the influence of company characteristics on ED. The aim is to contribute to current knowledge by addressing the shortage of studies on ED in developing countries. To achieve these objectives, three data collection methods were employed: questionnaires, content analysis and interviews. The results show that almost all companies provide some environmental information, although reports contain more positive and neutral than negative information. The respondents agreed strongly that some of the proposed drivers do indeed motivate companies to disclose environmental information, but they rejected others (see Table 6-10). When it came to identifying the obstacles that prevent companies from disclosing environmental information, local companies were consistent in accepting most of the proposed elements as barriers to ED, whereas a number of these elements were rejected by foreign companies (see Table 6-17). It was apparent that although some environmental rules and regulations do exist, they are not applied fully and control of ED is still weak. There is a significant positive association between level of ED and company size, company privatisation and company nationality. The investigation provides further evidence that these characteristics are important and have an impact on the level of ED. On the other hand, the age of the company is insignificant; it is negatively related to the level of ED.

Mestrado em Ciências Empresariais
Actualmente, as empresas coexistem num mundo global onde as tecnologias marcam uma forte presença. Neste sentido, a adopção de uma tecnologia adequada pode trazer mais sucesso a uma empresa. O sector hoteleiro tem vindo a procurar tecnologias como forma de entregar mais valor aos seus hóspedes e se distinguir dos concorrentes. O uso de tecnologias da web 2.0 revela-se importante dado o seu dinamismo e permitirem um fácil acesso à informação. Os hóspedes devem ser incentivados a colaborar online através da escrita de revisões relativas à sua estadia no hotel, partilhando informação entre viajantes. Esta partilha assume a forma de marketing word-of-mouth (WOM) e pode revelar-se proveitosa para o hotel ou, por outro lado, bastante inconveniente. Este trabalho discute "como é que a informação obtida através da web 2.0 influencia a tomada de decisão nos hotéis". Neste sentido, o objectivo é compreender qual é a utilização dada à informação obtida online pelo hotel. Para responder a esta questão, o método utilizado foi o estudo de caso, realizado num hotel situado em Lisboa. A recolha de dados passou pela realização de entrevistas e a análise das revisões do hotel num website de travei 2.0. Após a análise dos dados, verifica-se que a tomada de decisão nos hóteis começa a ser influenciada pelas informações extraídas da web 2.0. As decisões tomadas, no hotel estudado, são influenciadas pelas revisões dos hóspedes na web 2.0, porém, estas são sobretudo decisões operacionais, que podem ser determinantes para o retorno dos hóspedes.
Nowadays, companies coexist in a global world where technologies mark a strong presence. In this sense, the adoption of certain technologies can determine the success or not of a company. Regarding the hotel sector, this has been increasingly focussed on technology as a way to deliver more value to its customers and distinguish themselves from competitors. The use of the technology enabled by web 2.0, it's crucial given its dynamism and because it allows easy access to information. Guests should be encouraged to collaborate online by writing reviews on the hotels they stay, so that can exist information sharing among travelers. This share takes the form of word-of-mouth (WOM) marketing and can be very profitable for the hotel or on the other hand, quite inconvenient. In this study we argue "how the information obtained from the web 2.0 influences decision making in hotels". In this sense, the aim was to understand what the is the use made with the information collected online by the hotel. To answer this question, the methodology used was a case study in a hotel in Lisbon. The data collection process began by conducting three interviews and then the analysis of the total reviews of the hotel in a travel website 2.0. The decision-making in hotels began to be influenced by information from web 2.0. Decisions taken at the hotel studied are influenced by the reviews of guests in web 2.0, but these are mainly operational decisions, which may be decisive for the return of the guests.

Abstract:
This study investigates the relationships between firm's technology, absorptive capacity and the internationalization process in the high-tech SMEs. The research identifies the most influential factors that affect the international activities and expansion decisions of New Zealand high-tech SMEs with core capabilities in agro-technology. Mixed methods, qualitative and quantitative elements in the data collection and analysis, were employed in this research for a reason that a deeper understanding of the research subject and the analysis of complex issues such as the internationalization process and absorptive capacity required methodological variety. The use of qualitative and quantitative methods took place in parallel. Both methods were used to study the same subject but they had specific objective related purposes and they offered the possibility of developing rich empirical data as well as a more comprehensive understanding of the subject under the study. The findings show that it is absorptive capacity that explains internationalization process, not internationalization process that explains absorptive capacity. The practice of internationalizing is as much a reflection of a firm's absorptive capacity as it is its determinant. The research identifies that high-tech SMEs possess technological and non-core absorptive capacity which in a different way influence firms' strategies. The research suggests that firm's technological capabilities and the advantage of specialized knowledge along with their limited non-core absorptive capacity act as constraints to the development of the future international strategy in high-tech SMEs. The study expands the existing literature on internationalization by developing variables for evaluating absorptive capacity in firms. This helped develop an absorptive capacity model which can be used as a valuable tool for self-assessment by firms to facilitate gaining insight towards further growth and development. The research suggested that if firms were able to measure its absorptive capacity this may result in improved business activities and enhanced presence in the world market. The results of this study should encourage firms to identify, capture and articulate knowledge achieved by their ventures. Managers must develop and nurture skills that ensure effective integration of learning as their firms expand, particularly internationally. These findings and absorptive capacity model offered as a tool should encourage managers to explore when, where, and how to best use firm's resources in the business operations. This is particularly important in regards to the research context (high-tech SMEs) where scientists are managers as well.

Mestrado em Marketing
O constante avanço da tecnologia e o desenvolvimento das ferramentas Web 2.0 trouxeram grandes mudanças no campo da interação com o consumidor. As empresas percebem que têm de estar presentes na Internet, quer isso seja do seu agrado, ou não, dado que muitas marcas são tema de conversa nas redes sociais. O sector bancário também se preocupa em acompanhar o desenvolvimento tecnológico para garantir a preferência dos seus consumidores. Já existe literatura acerca das mudanças relacionadas com o desenvolvimento da Web 2.0 mas acerca do sector bancário, principalmente no contexto português, a literatura é escassa. O objetivo do presente trabalho é avaliar a presença na Web 2.0 de um banco português através da utilização da proposta feita por Nueesch, Puschmann e Alt (2012). Sendo a questão de investigação "Qual o nível de maturidade do banco Millenium BCP na utilização de tecnologias da Web 2.0"?. Para isso foi realizado uma netnografia por meio da recolha e análise de dados secundários. O estudo realizado demonstrou que, embora a instituição bancária analisada não tenha ainda atingido o ponto máximo de maturidade, demonstra preocupação e valorização da presença da banca nas tecnologias Web 2.0. É visível que a empresa assume que este é um meio importante de chegar aos seus clientes, conhecê-los melhor e que essa aproximação é bem percecionada pelos mesmos, o que trará benefícios para a empresa.
The constant advancement of technology and the development of Web 2.0 tools have brought major changes in the field of consumer interaction. Companies now realize they must be online, whether that is to their liking or not, as many brands have now become conversation topics on social networks. The banking sector is no exception, having to concern itself with keeping up with the technology's advances, in order to ensure the preference of its consumers. Though literature already exists concerning the emergence of Web 2.0 as a communication tool for corporations, it is still rather scarce when referring to the banking sector reality, particularly in the Portuguese market context. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the utilization of Web 2.0 applications by a Portuguese Bank, following the proposal made by Nueesch, Puschmann and Alt (2012). A netnography through secondary data collection and analysis was accomplished, aimed at answering the research question "What is the level of maturity of the Millennium BCP bank in the use of Web 2.0 technologies"?. The performed study demonstrated that, while the analysed banking institution had not yet reached its maximum online maturity level, it showed concerns to this regard and valued its presence on the Web 2.0 technologies. It is visible that the specific company considers this to be an important way to reach its clients, knowing them better and that the clients themselves have a positive perception of this presence, which will eventually benefit the company.

Abstract:
Le travail de cette these est centre sur l'etude des collisions noyau-noyau et nucleon-noyau aux energies intermediaires. Ces systemes sont caracterises par des effets fortement hors equilibres, il convient donc de prendre en compte les details de la dynamique des processus de reactions. En s'appuyant sur un cadre theorique unique, l'objectif de cette these est d'une part la recherche de nouvelles informations sur l'interaction nucleaire au travers des collisions noyau-noyau, et d'autre part, la prevision des sections efficaces doublement differentielle d'emission de particules dans le cas des collisions nucleo-noyau. L'analyse experimentale des produits de ces reactions etant asymptotique en temps, le modele theorique dywan (dynamical wawelet in nuclei) a ete developpe pour etudier les mecanismes a l'origine de ces donnees. Ce modele est base sur les methodes de projection de la physique statistique et sur la theorie mathematique des ondelettes. Ces outils theoriques s'appuient sur des concepts communs, tels que la selection de l'information pertinente par des criteres entropiques. Ils definissent un cadre rigoureux et coherent de modelisation du probleme a n-corps a partir d'une hierarchie precise et controlee d'approximations. Le modele dywan permet de prendre en compte les effets quantiques, la dynamique de champs moyen et la dynamique des correlations. Il decrit notamment l'information a n-corps la moins biaisee associee, par une structuration en determinants de slater. L'etude des reactions noyau-noyau s'est plus particulierement portee sur l'analyse des processus fortement dissipatifs, la formation de la matiere chaude et comprimee, la production de fragments, et la description des fluctuations statistiques. La sensibilite variable des observables aux differentes composantes de l'interaction nucleaire offre l'opportunite d'en determiner les proprietes caracteristiques. Le travail sur le theme nucleo-noyau s'est concretise par la prevision des sections efficaces doublement differentielles requises par la collaboration gedeon (gestion des dechets par des options nouvelles). En effet, la grande variete des noyaux a etudier et la large gamme en energie devant etre couverte necessite le recours a des modeles theoriques tels que dywan.

Accurate absorption cross-sections for the near UV spectrum of glyoxal are important since the value of this chemical characteristic is necessary for calculating effective quantum yields and ultimately the rates and products of photolysis. In this study, comprehensive measurements were made for the 2 80 nm gas-phase absorption spectrum of glyoxal. In addition, molecular orbital calculations were carried out and the results used as a guide to identify the vibration responsible for the weak structure features of the continuous area of the glyoxal spectrum. That vibration was found to be an ag CO stretch vibration mode of the glyoxal molecule.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a maturidade da Web 2.0 no sector bancário português em comparação com o sector das telecomunicações, tentando apurar qual dos sectores está mais maturo. Para tal foi construída uma Framework de avaliação da maturidade que avalia várias instituições de cada um dos sectores. A Framework é preenchida a partir de três canais: uma Netnografia que analisa as páginas do Facebook das instituições analisadas; uma análise das funções existentes nas aplicações mobile das empresas; e uma análise das funções existentes nos sites institucionais das empresas. O estudo apresenta um resultado comparativo sobre a evolução e comportamentos dos dois sectores, dando uma avaliação às práticas de comunicação existentes que se enquadram na Web 2.0. Os resultados obetidos demonstram uma maior maturidade no sector bancário em comparação com o sector das telecomunicações.
This dissertation aims to analyze the maturity of Web 2.0 in the Portuguese banking sector in comparison to the telecommunications sector, in order to determine which sector is more mature. A Framework was created in order to assess maturity, which evaluates various institutions in each sector. The Framework presents three channels: a netnography which analyzes the institution's Facebook pages; an analysis of the existing functions in the mobile applications of the companies; and an analysis of the existing functions in the institutional websites of the companies. The study presents a comparative result of the evolution and behavior of the two sectors, giving an assessment of existing communication practices that fall under the Web 2.0. The results found show an higher level of maturity in the financial sector compared to the telecommunications sector.

Abstract:
Les col•laboracions democratitzades a Internet, entenent-les com les eines participatives de la xarxa, o la Web 2.0, afecten en l'actualitat a nombrosos aspectes la nostra vida. Els acadèmics destaquen el potencial de la Web 2.0 per millorar l’aprenentatge o la salut, així com el seu continu impacte en sectors com el de la tecnologia de mitjans de comunicació. També plantegen un gran nombre de qüestions importants als professionals i estudiosos. Per exemple, la consideració crítica de la Web 2.0 com una bombolla o bé com un element més del màrqueting, que necessita d'una determinació del seu abast i naturalesa. Aquest mateix punt és aplicable a l'ús de la Web 2.0 en el sector sanitari, també anomenat com Medicina 2.0 o Sanitat 2.0. Referent a això, considerant el risc que el contingut generat per altres usuaris sigui utilitzat per prendre decisions relatives a la salut, i tenint en compte l'eficàcia no provada de la Web 2.0 com a instrument de la política sanitària, els acadèmics del tema conviden a la definició de millors models que es puguin aplicar a l'ús pràctic d'aquesta eina. Aquesta tesi es centra en l'estudi d'aquestes qüestions fonamentals, en un camp que es mou a gran velocitat, per darrera de la pràctica real, i que requereix la concertació d'una investigació interdisciplinària. Per tant, aquesta tesi incorpora set obres diferents que ofereixen àmplies perspectives sobre l'ús d'eines de col•laboració en la xarxa en el camp de l'atenció sanitària, cadascuna analitzant el tema amb una profunditat suficient com per seguir sent rellevant en un camp en ràpida evolució. Aquestes obres inclouen un examen d'(1) la Web 2.0 i (2) la Medicina 2.0, utilitzant l'anàlisi del contingut de milions de converses de la xarxa per identificar les principals qüestions pràctiques o teòriques i les tensions subjacents a cada concepte. Dos estudis addicionals analitzen (3) com i per què els metges fan servir les eines de la Web 2.0, i (4) com els metges busquen la informació en aquest context en constant moviment com és el d'Internet. Aquests dos estudis es basen en enquestes, diaris i entrevistes amb els metges que treballen en el Servei Nacional de Salut del Regne Unit. Tots dos destaquen resultats importants com ara models per a l'ús de la Medicina 2.0, o contribucions importants a la literatura com la connexió de la recerca cognitiva en la xarxa i la valoració de la informació en xarxa, tots dos camps sense connexió amb anterioritat a aquest treball. Tres estudis addicionals analitzen la web 2.0 des d'una perspectiva organitzacional, incloent (5) un estudi dels models de disseny de l'ús de la Web 2.0 en el sector farmacèutic, el qual detalla els millors models de pràctiques d'ús, i la seva clara relació amb els models de disseny de codi obert, i (6) també les estratègies d'innovació oberta al sector farmacèutic, on les eines de col•laboració en la xarxa permeten aquest tipus d'estratègies. Els dos últims estudis fan servir entrevistes amb 120 executius del sector farmacèutic analitzats a través d'anàlisi temàtic. Tots dos fan contribucions importants a la literatura mitjançant la caracterització de les estratègies d'innovació oberta i les implicacions per generar la capacitat d'absorció en el context d'innovació oberta. L'últim estudi (7) examina la Medicina 2.0 des de la perspectiva dels proveïdors de serveis de salut, per ajudar a la gestió d'ús de la Web 2.0 com un instrument per a millorar l’atenció sanitària. En general, hi ha moltes contribucions importants a la literatura, que en conjunt aconsegueixen ampliar el panorama de la Web 2.0 en l'assistència sanitària, i aporten consideracions especifiques a la literatura que abasta els sistemes d'informació, les ciències de la informació i la informàtica mèdica , així com la innovació oberta i l'estratègia.
Las colaboraciones democratizadas en Internet, entendiéndolas como las herramientas participativas de la red o la Web 2.0, afectan en la actualidad a numerosos aspectos nuestra vida. Los académicos destacan el potencial de la Web 2.0 para mejorar el eAprendizaje o la salud, así como su continuo impacto en sectores como el de la tecnología de medios de comunicación. También plantean un gran número de cuestiones importantes a los profesionales y estudiosos. Por ejemplo, la consideración crítica de la Web 2.0 como una burbuja o bien como un elemento más del marketing, que necesita de una determinación de su alcance y naturaleza. Este mismo punto es aplicable al uso de la Web 2.0 en el sector sanitario, también denominado como Medicina 2.0 o Sanitad 2.0. A este respecto y considerando el riesgo de que el contenido generado por otros usuarios sea utilizado para tomar decisiones relativas a la salud, y la eficacia no probada de la Web 2.0 como instrumento de la política sanitaria; los académicos del tema invitan a la definición de mejores modelos que se puedan aplicar al uso práctico de esta herramienta. Esta tesis se centra en el estudio de estas cuestiones fundamentales, en un campo que se mueve a gran velocidad, por detrás de la práctica real, y que requiere la concertación de una investigación interdisciplinaria. Por lo tanto, esta tesis incorpora siete obras distintas que ofrecen amplias perspectivas sobre el uso de herramientas de colaboración en la red en el campo de la atención sanitaria, cada una analizando el tema con una profundidad suficiente como para seguir siendo relevante en un campo en rápida evolución. Estas obras incluyen un examen de (1) la Web 2.0 y (2) la Medicina 2.0, utilizando el análisis del contenido de millones de conversaciones de la red, para identificar las principales cuestiones prácticas o teóricas y las tensiones que subyacen a cada concepto. Dos estudios adicionales analizan (3) cómo y por qué los médicos usan las herramientas de la Web 2.0, y (4) cómo los médicos buscan la información en este contexto en constante movimiento como es el de Internet. Estos dos estudios se basan en encuestas, diarios y entrevistas con los médicos que trabajan en el Servicio Nacional de Salud del Reino Unido. Ambos destacan resultados importantes tales como modelos para el uso de la Medicina 2.0, o contribuciones importantes a la literatura como la conexión de la búsqueda cognitiva en la red y la valoración de la información en red, ambos campos sin conexión con anterioridad al presente trabajo.Tres estudios adicionales analizan la Web 2.0 desde una perspectiva organizacional, incluyendo (5) un estudio de los modelos de diseño del uso de la Web 2.0 en el sector farmacéutico, el cual detalla los mejores modelos de prácticas de uso, y su clara relación con los modelos de diseño de la open source, y (6) y también las estrategias de innovación abierta en el sector farmacéutico donde las herramientas de colaboración en la red permiten este tipo de estrategias. Los dos últimos estudios emplean entrevistas con 120 ejecutivos del sector farmacéutico analizados a través de análisis temático. Ambos hacen contribuciones importantes a la literatura mediante la caracterización de las estrategias de innovación abierta y las implicaciones para generar la capacidad de absorción en el contexto de innovación abierta. El último estudio (7) examina la Medicina 2.0 desde la perspectiva de los proveedores de servicios de salud, para ayudar a la gestión de uso de la Web 2.0 como un instrumento para la gestión de una mejor atención sanitaria. En general, hay muchas contribuciones importantes a la literatura, que en conjunto logran ampliar el panorama de la Web 2.0 en la asistencia sanitaria, y aportan consideraciones específicas a la literatura que abarca los sistemas de información, las ciencias de la información, la informática médica, así como la innovación abierta y la estrategia.
Democratized internet collaborations, referring to participatory online tools or Web 2.0, now impact many aspects of people’s lives. Scholars note Web 2.0’s potential to improve eLearning or healthcare, and its ongoing impact in sectors such as tech-media. They also raise a plethora of important questions for practitioners and scholars, such as the criticism of Web 2.0 as hype or marketing term, which necessitates some determination of the scope and nature of Web 2.0. This holds equally for Web 2.0’s use in health care, denoted as Medicine 2.0 or Health 2.0. Moreover, given the risks of people using user-generated content for health decisions, and its unproven effectiveness as a health policy tool, scholars have called for best practice models of use. This thesis addresses these fundamental issues, in a field that is fast moving, behind actual practice, and that requires concerted inter-disciplinary research. Therefore, this thesis incorporates seven distinct works that provide broad perspectives on the use of online collaboration tools in healthcare, each analyzing a specific topic in enough depth to remain relevant in a fast moving field. These works include an examination of (1) Web 2.0 and (2) Medicine 2.0, using content analysis of millions of online conversations to surface the major practical or theoretical issues and tensions that underpin each concept. Two further studies examine (3) how and why doctors use Web 2.0 tools, and (4) how doctors search or forage for information in this evolving internet environment. These two studies rely on surveys, diaries and interviews from doctors working in the UK’s National Health Service (NHS). Both highlight important results, such as models for Medicine 2.0 use, or make important contributions to literature such as connecting the previously separate cognitive online search and internet information judgment literatures. Three further studies examine Web 2.0 from an organizational perspective, including (5) design patterns of Web 2.0’s use in global Pharma, which details best practice models of use and its clear link to Open Source design patterns, and (6) global Pharma’s Open Innovation strategies, where online collaboration tools enable these strategies. The latter two studies employ interviews with 120 pharmaceutical executives analyzed through thematic analysis. They make major contributions to literature by characterizing open innovation strategies and gleaning implications for Absorptive Capacity in the Open Innovation context. The final study (7) examines Medicine 2.0 form the perspective of health service providers, informing management using eHealth as an instrument for improved healthcare management. Overall, there are many major contributions to literature, which together achieve both a broad overview of Web 2.0 in healthcare, but also make specific additions to literature encompassing information systems, information science, medical informatics, and open innovation and strategy.

Abstract:
Hallazgos Principales Aunque Textil San Cristóbal ha desarrollado diferentes estrategias para mejorar su capacidad de acuerdo con los objetivos de producción que se ha propuesto, no ha logrado cubrir las expectativas trazadas. Aunque la creación de las asociaciones si son encaminadas eficaz y eficientemente podrían significar una alternativa de desarrollo y valor agregado. La dirección de Textil San Cristóbal ha organizado mejoras relativas al desarrollar sus procesos de negocio y a la compra de tecnología de última generación, sin adaptar su comportamiento y comunicación a las demandas del mercado los que se dirigen sus productos. Sin embargo, la reducción de los costos mediante la disminución de los presupuestos y la fuerza laboral, así como la introducción de programas de calidad para dar vida a los procesos de negocio ya se han planteado. Como menciona Morris & Brandon (1994), estos métodos han planteado soluciones a muy corto plazo. Durante la investigación del año 2000, se determinó que 100 por ciento de los recursos humanos del Textil San Cristóbal fue instruido sobre la misión, visión y principios de calidad de la compañía. 100 por ciento del capital humano de la empresa conocía los objetivos corporativos. 91 por ciento recordaba los objetivos de la empresa y 9 por ciento no los recordaba. Aún cuando los trabajadores, tanto de Textil San Cristóbal como de las asociaciones, perciben que sus sueldos no les alcanza para satisfacer sus necesidades básicas, preferirían ganar algo menos, pero tener condiciones de trabajo óptimas en las que se sientan motivados y valorados por superiores. La mayoría de los encuestados siente que sus jefes no toman en cuenta sus opiniones y sugerencias. La tendencia entre los trabajadores es sentir temor de expresar sus ideas, dudas y quejas. Pero aunque el deseo de interactuar con las figuras de autoridad está limitado, 95 por ciento de la población encuestada consideran que participar expresando sus ideas o sugerencias en las decisiones de cualquier empresa es importante o muy importante. La tendencia general es que no existen actitudes hacia la comunicación de parte de las direcciones, ni mecanismos que la hagan posible. La comunicación entre jefe y trabajador es limitada. El supervisor suele ser intermediario de la comunicación entre jefes y operario. En la planta, el supervisor cumple la función de filtro de la comunicación, es decir la información recibida por el jefe se basa en los criterios del supervisor para enviar mensajes. Cuando los operarios perciben que la información enviada es inexacta, les provoca frustración; y como no poseen mecanismos formales retroalimentación, manifiestan su frustración con formas de rebeldía y conductas sociales no adecuadas. Un elemento adicional de la comunicación interna de las organizaciones estudiadas es el surgimiento del rumor. Sucede muy seguido en la empresa, que al no existir mecanismos planificados de comunicación formal, se crean que entre los trabajadores la necesidad de estar al tanto de todos los sucesos que ocurren al interior. La necesidad de información oficial es grande, lo que genera mecanismos informales de comunicación interna. Los rumores suelen alimentar los prejuicios contra la empresa y las figuras de autoridad. La mayoría de la población percibe que su jefe no tiene interés en que se desarrollen dentro de la organización. Lo anterior tiene que ver directamente con las relaciones de liderazgo características de la organización. Textil San Cristóbal desarrollado un estilo de liderazgo que aplica motivación extrínseca. Controla y aplica medidas correctivas y sólo se comunica para enviar órdenes o cuando no se satisfacen los estándares. Esta tendencia ha sido heredada por las asociaciones, aunque estas tres organizaciones tienen la oportunidad de moldear su cultura corporativa de tal forma que se convierta en un activo organizacional. La mayor parte de los trabajadores exige un guía que los motive y que cree confianza entre los miembros de la empresa. Cabe destacar que el trabajador promedio, a pesar que es abierto a la crítica, prefiere que sea en un lugar y momento adecuado que no implique detrimento en su imagen. Se destaca que el trabajador promedio siente una gran necesidad de aceptación social; es decir no sólo necesita ser valorado por las autoridades, sino también por sus compañeros. Se demuestra además que el trabajador suele hacer o dejar de hacer ciertas actividades con el propósito de ser admitido en el grupo social. Textil San Cristóbal tiene características similares a una familia. Los miembros de la organización proyectan y asumen este tipo de roles. Esto explica alguna de las necesidades afectivas de los trabajadores; necesidades que incluso pueden ser más fuertes o motivadoras que las necesidades económicas. Limitaciones del Estudio El presente estudio hubiera enriquecido sus conclusiones si la participación de la dirección de Textil San Cristóbal en el diagnóstico organizacional hubiera sido integral y constante. El proceso de planificación de un programa de identidad corporativa debe convocar las figuras de autoridad de la organización para determinar el estado de la identidad actual y el estado deseado. Sin embargo, no fue posible ninguna reunión con la gerencia general, aunque los resultados del presente estudio fueron alcanzados oportunamente. La ausencia de apoyo de la dirección logística y económicamente obligó a diseñar la estrategia de investigación, que aunque con menor costo pudiera ofrecer los niveles de rigurosidad científica que el estudio merece. Hubiera sido más provechoso además, tener información primaria sobre la imagen corporativa, sin embargo aquélla no existe y realizar una investigación de imagen corporativa hubiera supuesto mayores costos.

Abstract:
Introduction All experimental studies involving charged particle induced nuclear reactions require a precise knowledge of monitor reactions. A number of well described proton induced monitor reactions exist in the lower energy range [1], which is covered by most medical cyclotrons. Concerning proton energies above 20 MeV, however, the accuracy of the monitor reactions declines as cross section data becomes scarcer. Furthermore, the growing interest in precise determination of projectile energies by comparing of ratios of monitor reaction cross sections demands new measurements and evaluations of known data for high threshold monitor radionuclides. In this work cross section measurements on the formation of 61Cu were done and energy de-pendent radionuclide ratios were calculated. Material and Methods For investigation of the natCu(p,x)61Cu reaction copper foils of natural isotopic composition (Goodfellow Ltd.) were irradiated. The targets were of 10 and 20 μm thickness, having a diameter of 15 mm. Proton bombardments up to 45 MeV incident energy were done in the stacked-foil arrangement at the accelerator JULIC of the Nuclear Physics Institute (IKP) of the Forschungszentrum Jülich. In addition to an internal irradiation possibility the cyclotron is equipped with an external target station which was used for most experiments. It can adapt standard and slanting solid target holders and is equipped with a water cooled four sector collimator and additional helium cooling of the entry foil. Several irradiations were executed. In each stack, besides copper samples, aluminium absorbers and additional nickel monitor foils were also placed, the latter for the determination of the respective beam current. The produced radioactivity of 61Cu was analysed non-destructively using HPGe γ-ray detectors (EG&G Ortec). Results and Conclusion Reaction cross sections of the natCu(p,x)61Cu process up to 45 MeV were measured and com-pared with existing data from the literature (FIG. 2). Except for the data of Williams et al. our results are in good agreement, showing a maxi-mum of about 165 mbarn at 37.5 MeV proton energy. The overall uncertainty of the new cross section data is between 8 and 10 %. In FIG. 3, the excitation functions of the relevant monitor reactions on Cu are shown. In combination with the excitation function of the natCu(p,xn)62Zn reaction, isotope ratios were calculated which can be used for determination of the proton energy within a target stack in the energy range of 22–40 MeV as described by Piel et al. [3]. FIGURE 4 shows the cross section ratio in dependence of the proton energy. Above this energy, 65Zn could be used to generate isotope ratios for energy determination, although the long half-life (T½ = 244.3 d) of that radionuclide may be a problem. Additional cross section measurements are planned in order to further strengthen the data base of this potential monitor reaction. The results of this work shall be evaluated in the framework of an ongoing Coordinated Research Project of the IAEA.

Abstract:
1. The first section of this thesis is a review of research to date on the Hezekiah Narratives (HN) in 2 kigs 18-20 and Isa 36-39, and includes a summary of the main areas in which further work is required. 2. The next chapter is a text critical study, aimed at reconstructing the Urtext to HN using the available Greek, Hebrew and minor versions. This is then used to explore the relationship between the two texts, and in particular the question of priority - whether HN-kgs or HN-Isa came first, or whether there was a common original. The results of this are used to examine the subsequent history of the text in its two forms. 3. Following this, the question of the number of outcome of the campaigns by the Assyrians against Jerusalem in the time of Hezekiah is addressed. The dating and historical setting of the different sources and events, and the tensions between these are examined, and in the light of this the redactor’s ordering of the sources within HN as a whole is considered. An overall chronology for events in this period is suggested. 4. This chapter examines the distinctive theologies of the sources in HN, tracing the specific concerns for each with the aim of understanding the backgrounds from which they arose. This in turn is used to trace the process of compilation for HN, over a period of several decades. 5. The next section attempts to place the authentic material in HN - particularly B1 and BE - in the wider context of the historical Isaiah’s prophecies, exploring the way his message changed throughout his ministry in the second half of the 8th century in response to the political situation. 6. This chapter examines the similarities and differences that HN’s theology has with those of the Isaianic group and Dtr, and tensions caused by HN’s inclusion in DtrH. 7. The last section deals with the narrative’s place within the book of Isaiah as a whole. Questions of when HN was included and the stages of redaction are addressed.

Abstract:
This thesis contributes to the existing scholarship on intelligence studies and examines the reasons, the means and the consequences of the privatisation of intelligence in the United States between 2001 and 2009. In the years after the /11 terrorist attacks, the extension of public-private intelligence ‘partnerships’ has raised important questions about the nature and parameters of the modern national security state and the boundaries of legitimacy as defined within the democratic model. A major focus of this project is the relationship between the US intelligence community’s reliance on the private sector and intelligence accountability. A considered analysis of this issue casts new light on the strengths and weaknesses of the US system of intelligence accountability. This research suggests that, in the period under consideration, the relationship between the privatisation of intelligence and intelligence accountability was characterised by interdependence and imperfection but not necessarily in a completely negative way. Privatisation complicated accountability holders’ access to information from intelligence providers whilst emphasising the need for better regulation,control and oversight of private intelligence activities. Senior accountability holders (within the executive and legislative branches) nevertheless always retained the authority to devise better means to access private sector information, improve accountability standards, and sanction or support private intelligence ‘partners’. However, this did not mean that the executive and the legislature used their authority to achieve optimum solutions. Indeed, the lack of policy planning behind privatisation adversely affected the accountability process in the US. The resultant gaps in accountability can be traced to key accountability holders’ priorities in the years 2001-9. This, it is argued here, demonstrates a lack of political willingness within the US body politic to hold both public and private intelligence providers to account.

Abstract:
During the flight of missiles, depending on the flight conditions, rotation of missiles around its centerline can cause instabilities. To override this issue, missile generally is designed in 2 sections. In the missile, the rear tail section and the front section are to rotate freely by means of bearings. Tail section on which bearings are mounted is designed according to thermal loads due to flow of hot gasses through the nozzle and mechanical loads due to inertial load, interference fit and thread preload which appear during flight of missile. The purpose of this thesis is to determine the most suitable structural parameters according to the flight conditions of missile. The geometrical and load parameters which have effect on the results were determined. Finite element model is formed by using FEA software. After that, transient nonlinear thermo-mechanical analyses are performed and the most effective parameter on VM (Von-Mises) stress and force is determined. DOE (Design of Experiments) method was used to determine the most suitable values for the structural parameters. Totally 27 different configurations are studied to achieve to the most suitable values for variable set. It is observed that VM stress and force results for all configurations are within the ±
%5 ranges. So this means parameters don&rsquo
t affect the systems response very much. By taking manufacturing processes into consideration, configuration with the highest bearing inner/outer ring interference is taken. From the comparison of the results, the most suitable configuration is obtained after checking forces and VM stress on the bearings.

Abstract:
Esta investigación tiene el propósito de identificar un modelo de Gobierno Electrónico que permita a las entidades de la administración pública, en especial a las del Sector Economía y Finanzas del Perú, obtener un grado de desarrollo que los ubique en la etapa de “Transformación” del Gobierno Electrónico. Este propósito se fundamenta en la problemática que viven dichas entidades, por el hecho que el desarrollo o mejora de los servicios que brindan tienen un origen basado en la política interna de comunicación y de entrega de información y de servicios, así como de la capacidad tecnológica que permite la disponibilidad de los mismos, siendo que muchas veces tal información o servicios no coinciden y no cubren la demanda real de sus usuarios, quienes no encuentran los mecanismos para dar a conocer fácilmente su demanda real de servicios. En el Gobierno Electrónico, los servicios se brindan principalmente a través de los Portales de Internet de las entidades de la administración pública, sin embargo, la falta de inclusión de herramientas colaborativas y modernas en el diseño de los portales de las entidades del Sector Economía, hace que éstas se mantengan en un grado de desarrollo que los mantiene desde hace mucho tiempo en la etapa de “Transacción” del Gobierno Electrónico. Se identifica que no existe un modelo de desarrollo de Gobierno Electrónico que permita a las entidades “estandarizar” su desarrollo y ubicarse en la etapa de “Transformación” sin pasar antes por las anteriores etapas de desarrollo: Presencia, Interacción y Transacción. Sólo existen modelos evaluativos del grado de cumplimiento de los elementos que forman parte del Gobierno Electrónico y de las características que identifican cada etapa del Gobierno Electrónico. Ningún modelo asocia la tecnología de la Internet (Web 2.0) y la filosofía de Gobierno Abierto que promueva la apertura del acceso a los datos y las comunicaciones con el usuario, con el fin de brindar cada vez servicios con calidad, eficiencia y oportunidad. Si las entidades del estado, principalmente las entidades del Sector Economía, tuvieran un modelo de Gobierno Electrónico que considere, para la implementación de sus servicios electrónicos, los componentes o herramientas que utiliza la Web 2.0, y si dicho modelo además tuviera como base fundamental la aplicación de la filosofía del Gobierno Abierto, dichas entidades podrían identificar estrategias de desarrollo que las lleve a niveles tecnológicos avanzados, colaborativos, con participación e involucramiento de sus usuarios y se lograría que dichas entidades logren ubicarse en el nivel de desarrollo de Gobierno Electrónico denominado “Transformación”, que es el nivel en donde las entidades logran su mayor nivel de fortalecimiento de servicios públicos basados en el uso de tecnología. En tal sentido, la presente investigación se justifica por la necesidad que se tiene de contar con un modelo de desarrollo que permita a las entidades dar un gran salto tecnológico, permitiendo a las entidades del Sector Economía ubicarse en la etapa de Transformación del Gobierno Electrónico, además de identificar los componentes del Gobierno Electrónico que, bajo su definición y concepto básico, permiten esbozar criterios comparativos entre entidades y permiten asociar, dentro de ellos, las características de desarrollo tecnológico que deben alcanzar las entidades. Se justifica también en que se requiere identificar las características de la etapa de Transformación del Gobierno Electrónico para definirlas como objetivos de desarrollo de las entidades del Sector Economía, así como conocer cuáles son las herramientas tecnológicas modernas que maximizan el uso del Internet (Web 2.0), que son la clave para lograr el desarrollo del Gobierno Electrónico en las entidades. Se considera que la integración de dichas herramientas tecnológicas con políticas de transparencia, participación y de colaboración (Gobierno Abierto), harán que las entidades desarrollen servicios de Gobierno Electrónico orientados a la excelencia y al cumplimiento total con las demandas de los ciudadanos y de sus demás usuarios. Como aporte, se identifica que los países desarrollados que han logrado avances significativos en Gobierno Electrónico se encuentran ubicados en la etapa de Transformación, y el haber llegado a esta etapa va de la mano con el nivel de avance tecnológico que han alcanzado las entidades y el que han aplicado a los servicios que brindan. En este avance, la herramienta tecnológica más importante es el Internet, que gracias a su desarrollo (Web 2.0) ha logrado que se innove y cree nuevas formas de solicitud y acceso a la información (Redes sociales, entornos colaborativos, entre otros). Por otro lado, analizando las características propias de la etapa de Transformación, y las características del desarrollo de Gobierno Electrónico identificado por el BID para las entidades que han llegado a dicha etapa (países innovadores y líderes en e-Gob), se obtienen elementos claves para identificar si las entidades vienen aplicando o si requieren aplicar dichos elementos en los servicios de Gobierno Electrónico que ofrecen (Integración total entre organismos, ventanilla única, servicios en línea, gestión del conocimiento, base de datos compartidas, Transparencia, entre otros). Se relacionó los componentes del Gobierno Electrónico identificados por Cardona [Cardona 2004], con las características de los portales de los países desarrollados y de la etapa de Transformación, y se identificó luego los componentes de la Web 2.0 y de Gobierno Abierto aplicados en dichos portales, pudiendo esbozar un nuevo modelo de desarrollo de Gobierno Electrónico que identifica brechas y permite definir estrategias para cubrirlas, permitiendo a las entidades y a los países en desarrollo alcanzar un mayor nivel de avance en este ámbito. Se estudió también si los Portales de los Ministerios de Economía (o su equivalente) de los países desarrollados (Estados Unidos, Japón y Alemania) cumplían con cada uno de los elementos de esta conjunción, obteniéndose que Estados Unidos cuenta con el mayor grado de acercamiento al uso de Gobierno Electrónico bajo las premisas de la Web 2.0, por poner a disposición del usuario mecanismos de autogeneración de información, acercamiento y conversación, redes sociales y manejo de una política de Gobierno Abierto (OG). El resultado obtenido muestra que Perú y Colombia (uno de los países con mayor grado de desarrollo en Gobierno Electrónico en Latinoamérica) no están muy lejanos de alcanzar el mismo nivel de los Estados Unidos, por lo que se considera necesario el seguimiento de un modelo que cumpla con desarrollar los componentes que estén alineados a los elementos claves del concepto de Gobierno Electrónico, orientados al uso de la Web 2.0, bajo una filosofía de servicio basado en Gobierno Abierto y enmarcados en el cumplimiento de las características propias de la etapa de Transformación de Gobierno Electrónico. Finalmente, podemos concluir que analizando el Sector Economía del Perú, y en especial el Portal del Ministerio de Economía y Finanzas del Perú, se identificaron brechas y estrategias que posibilitarían obtener un mayor grado de desarrollo, brindando servicios electrónicos más eficientes y acordes con los compromisos adoptados al formar parte de la Alianza de Gobierno Abierto. Por otro lado, el modelo identificado podría servir no sólo a las entidades del Sector Economía del Perú, sino a cualquier entidad de cualquier sector y de cualquier país en vías de desarrollo.

Abstract:

Den säkerhetspolitiska debatten har under de senaste åren tillvaratagit ett bredare perspektiv av hot och risker. Undersökningen tar sin utgångspunkt i frågan om i vilken utsträckning detta kommit till uttryck i svenska försvarspropositioner?

 

Undersökningen kartlägger likheter och skillnader i tre försvarspropositioners uttryck av hot och säkerhet relaterat till det vidgade säkerhetsbegreppet under perioden 1982-2009. Vid kartläggningen undersöker jag med hjälp av Barry Buzan m.fl. analysramverk för det vidgade säkerhetsbegreppet vilka säkerhetspolitiska värden som uttrycktes vara viktiga att säkerställa. Undersökningen kartlägger även hotbilderna som uppfattades mot dessa värden och inom vilka arenor deras säkerhet bedömdes kunna säkerställas.

Analysen påvisar olikheter i de tre försvarspropositionernas säkerhetspolitiska uttryck. 1982 års försvarsproposition fokuserar på nationella säkerhetspolitiska värden som säkerställdes inom totalförsvarets ram. De följande försvarspropositionerna indikerar en förändring till förmån för regionala värden och gemensam säkerhet. Analysen påvisar även en radikal förändring av de uppfattade hotbildernas karaktär.


The recent security policy debate has included a broader view of threats and risks. This study is based on the question of to what extent this was reflected in the Swedish defence bills?

This study aims to identify similarities and differences regarding expressions of threat and security related to the broader concept of security in three defence bills over the period of 1982-2009. By use of the analytical framework of Mr Barry Buzan, I aim to make a survey of the expressed values of security, their perceived threats and the arenas in which their security were to be guaranteed.

The analysis indicates diversities regarding security policy expressions. The defence bill of 1982 focuses on national values, safeguarded within the framework of Total Defence. The following defence bills indicate a change in the perceived nature of the threats and in favour of regional values and common security.

In title on title page, "the square root of sigma" appears as the mathematical symbol, and "sigma" appears as the lower-case Greek letter. Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 123-126).
Twenty years of polarized lepton-nucleon scattering experiments have found that the contribution from quark spins (1/2[delta] [sigma]) to the spin of the proton is only ~ 35%. This has lead researchers to look elsewhere, specifically to gluon spin ([delta sigma]) for a large contribution to proton spin. [delta sigma] has been only loosely constrained in polarized DIS and SIDIS experiments. Polarized proton-proton collisions at RHIC provide sensitivity to [delta sigma] through measurements of the longitudinal double-spin asymmetry, ALL. This work presents a measurement of ALL for inclusive 7ro production in polarized proton-proton collisions using the STAR detector and data from RHIC Run 6. 7r0s are abundantly produced at mid-rapidity in proton-proton collisions, making them natural candidates for studies of [delta] [sigma]. Novel techniques for reconstructing 7ros at STAR are discussed, and a measurement of the unpolarized cross section presented. Finally, the measured ALL is compared to perturbative QCD predictions and from this comparison constraints are placed on [delta] [sigma].

Abstract:
Since the start of the 20th century, the Black Middle Class (BMC) has been a creation of both direct and indirect government policy and action. More importantly, had it not been for government action directed towards blacks, the BMC that is visible today would not exist. During the time period of the great migration, blacks prospered from increased economic demand along with policy targeted both directly and indirectly at employing millions of blacks. During the 1960’s and 70’s, the BMC became a viable entity with civil rights laws that forced black men and women into higher education institutions as well as public and private employment. The policy implemented during this time sought to end discrimination by making it illegal and tightly monitoring it. As a result, the BMC saw accelerated growth in both educational attainment and wage. However, this immediate progress was brought to a standstill starting with a wave of conservatism sparked and led by the election of Ronald Reagan. Since that time, the BMC has made gains both educationally and economically, but the growth has been much less apparent. Also, many in the BMC have sought careers in the public sector due to discrimination that may exist because of a lack of governmental regulation and oversight in the private sector. There are many perils that face the BMC today, but most importantly the threat to massive reductions in the public sector federally and locally.

Abstract:
The United Kingdom's Department for International Development (DFID) has undertaken a highly innovative development strategy in Sierra Leone, reforming the security sector of the post-conflict state in order to ensure a stable environment in which investment and development can occur. Yet in doing so, DFID has not engaged with the actual locus of security provision in Sierra Leone and the effectiveness of reforms thus remains limited. This thesis seeks to understand why DFID has been unable to engage with informal security actors in its security sector reform (SSR) programme in Sierra Leone. Informal security actors are the dominant providers of policing and justice in Sierra Leone, with approximately 80 per cent of the population relying upon their services. Despite this, however, this thesis illustrates that DFID's bureaucratic and political nature produce particular understandings of security and the causes of war that focus overwhelmingly on state capacity and security provision. As a result, DFID engages with only state security providers and state failure aspects of the causes of war. Ultimately, this approach limits the ability of DFID's SSR programme to comprehensively address the causes of conflict and sustainably transform security provision in Sierra Leone. These limitations must be overcome if DFID is to remain at the forefront of SSR policy and practice.

Abstract:
Diese Dissertation untersucht Brill-Noether-Theorie der algebraischen Kurven, unter besonderer Berücksichtigung von Kurven auf K3-Flächen und Del-Pezzo-Flächen. In Kapitel 2 studieren wir den Gieseker-Petri-Ort GP_g im Modulraum M_g der glatten irreduziblen Kurven vom Geschlecht g. Dieser Ort wird definiert durch Kurven mit einer Brill-Noether-Varietät G^r_d(C), die singulär ist oder deren Dimension größer als erwartet ist. Der Satz von Gieseker-Petri impliziert, dass GP_g mindestens Kodimension 1 hat, und es wurde vermutet, dass er von reiner Kodimension 1 ist. Wir beweisen diese Vermutung für Geschlecht höchstens 13. Dies wird dadurch ermöglicht, dass man für kleine Geschlechter die Dimension der irreduziblen Komponenten von GP_g mittels "ad hoc"-Beweisführungen untersuchen kann. Lazarsfelds Beweis des Gieseker-Petri-Theorems mittels Kurven auf allgemeninen K3-Flächen deutet darauf hin, dass die Brill-Noether-Theorie von K3-Schnitten wichtig ist, um den Gieseker-Petri-Ort besser zu verstehen. Linearscharen von Kurven, die auf K3-Flächen liegen, stehen in tiefgehender Beziehung zu sogenannten Lazarsfeld-Mukai-Vektorbündeln. In Kapitel 3 untersuchen wir die Stabilität der Lazarsfeld-Mukai-Vektorbündel vom Rang 3 auf einer K3-Fläche S, und wir zeigen, dass sie viele Informationen über Netze vom Typ g^2_d auf Kurven in S enthalten. Wenn d größ genug ist, erhalten wir eine obere Schranke für die Dimension der Varietät G^2_d(C). Wenn die Brill-Noether-Zahl negativ ist, beweisen wir, dass jedes g^2_d in einer von einem Geradenbündel induzierten Linearschar enthalten ist, wie von Donagi und Morrison vermutet wurde. Kapitel 4 befasst sich mit Syzygien einer gegebenen Kurve C, die auf einer Del-Pezzo-Fläche liegt. Wir insbesondere, dass C die Greens Vermutung erfüllt, die impliziert, dass die Existenz gewisser spezieller Linearscharen auf C von den Gleichungen ihrer kanonischen Einbettung abgelesen werden kann.
We investigate Brill-Noether theory of algebraic curves, with special emphasis on curves lying on $K3$ surfaces and Del Pezzo surfaces. In Chapter 2, we study the Gieseker-Petri locus GP_g inside the moduli space M_g of smooth, irreducible curves of genus g. This consists, by definition, of curves [C] in M_g such that for some r, d the Brill-Noether variety G^r_d(C), which parametrizes linear series of type g^r_d on C, either is singular or has some components exceeding the expected dimension. The Gieseker-Petri Theorem implies that GP_g has codimension at least 1 in M_g and it has been conjectured that it has pure codimension 1. We prove this conjecture up to genus 13; this is possible since, when the genus is low enough, one is able to determine the irreducible components of GP_g and to study their codimension by "ad hoc" arguments. Lazarsfeld''s proof of the Gieseker-Petri-Theorem by specialization to curves lying on general K3 surfaces suggests the importance of the Brill-Noether theory of K3-sections for a better understanding of the Gieseker-Petri locus. Linear series on curves lying on a K3 surface are deeply related to the so-called Lazarsfeld-Mukai bundles. In Chapter 3, we study the stability of rank-3 Lazarsfeld-Mukai bundles on a K3 surface S, and show it encodes much information about nets of type g^2_d on curves C contained in S. When d is large enough and C is general in its linear system, we obtain a dimensional statement for the variety G^2_d(C). If the Brill-Noether number is negative, we prove that any g^2_d is contained in a linear series which is induced from a line bundle on S, as conjectured by Donagi and Morrison. Chapter 4 concerns syzygies of any given curve C lying on a Del Pezzo surface S. In particular, we prove that C satisfies Green''s Conjecture, which implies that the existence of some special linear series on C can be read off the equations of its canonical embedding.
