Full textAbstract:
In the face of fierce environmental criticism, the World Bank (hereon Bank) claims to have embraced the idea of sustainable development and reformed its operations. Yet serious questions remain about the extent to which the Bank has adapted to the idea of sustainable development, about if and how it has integrated the idea into its lending operations and about how to satisfactorily conceptualise this topic. ' This study's underlying premise is that existing wisdom provides a patchy and unconvincing account of the content and function of the Bank's idea istainable development. The core purpose of the thesis is to address these unresolved issues. In order to do so, the thesis adopts a neo-Gramscian conceptual framework and examines the Bank's doption, deployment and operationahsation of the idea. The focal point of the analysis is the expansive Lake Victoria Environmental Management Project (LVEMP) in East Africa, which the Bank claims is a 'comprehensive' and 'model' example of its sustainable development operations.

Full textAbstract:
Automotive assembly plants work on a pre-planned job sequence in order to optimize the performance of the assembly line. However, the job sequence becomes scrambled due to factors such as plant layout, process design, variability and uncertainty. Assembly plants use either a mix-bank or an automatic storage and retrieval system to regenerate the sequence before final assembly. A mix-bank, which is a set of parallel lanes, is the most common method used in the automotive industry to reconstruct the sequence. Only the first vehicles on the lanes are available for sequencing in a mix-bank set-up. Hence the lane selection policy and the lane configuration of a mix-bank play crucial roles in recreating the sequence. This thesis addresses the problem of identifying a superior lane selection policy for a mix-bank re-sequencing area. Simulation models of a re-sequencing area are used to evaluate lane selection policies. Varying the lane configurations and the nature of sequence tests the effectiveness of the selection policies.

Full textAbstract:
Typescript. Includes bibliographical references (leaves [279]-287) This thesis examines the growth ring structure of Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnhardt and investigates links between ring features and the climatic conditions under which growth took place. Samples of E. camaldulensis from the Barmah Forest (near the River Murray in northern Victoria) were used in the study. E. camaldulensis growth is linked to periodic flooding, and the Barmah Forest contains sites that are frequently flooded. Wood samples were obtained from sites subject to different average flooding frequencies. Trees used in the study grew out of natural regeneration in the 1920's and 1930's and from regeneration trials in the early 1960's. Initial investigation of E. camaldulensis samples revealed ring-like features that were able to be traced on samples by eye. Microscopic investigation showed that there existed considerable variations in the properties of individual rings at different positions on the samples, and that the boundaries between rings were often indistinct. Further examination of E. camaldulensis microstructure was performed on samples from two trees that grew on sites with significantly different flooding regimes. These samples possessed features that formed rings, with rings being successfully matched between samples taken from different heights in the trees. As the complex microstructure of E. camaldulensis did not lend itself to standard dendroclimatological techniques, methods were developed to facilitate the comparison and matching of rings. These methods were also used in the successful matching of ring patterns with the output from a simple climate-based tree growth model. Two sets of E. camaldulensis samples (BS1, with 33 samples, and BS2, with 39 samples) were studied to assess the level of individual variability in ring patterns, and to provide a representative ring pattern for climate comparison. Following the development of methods for identifying samples with similar ring patterns, a subset of similar samples was selected from the BS1 set. A member of this subset was selected to provide a ring-width pattern upon which a representative pattern of ring features for BS1 was based. The rings of the BS2 samples possessed poorer ring definition than the BS1 samples and provided no new or different information. Consequently, the representative ring pattern for BS1 was used in a dendroclimatological investigation for the site. The ring pattern was matched with the output from two tree growth event models. Although rings were matched with growth events over a 27 year period, the high variability of individual ring features prevented matching of particular types of ring features with particular types of climatic events. An investigation of numerical methods for matching ring patterns with ring or growth event patterns, and for identifying samples with similar ring patterns, was performed using signal smoothing and filtering techniques and a dynamic time-warping procedure. Ring matching and identification of similar ring patterns was found to be most successful on samples where the ring patterns, expressed as continuous signals, had similar mean and amplitude values. The techniques were unsuccessful in the matching of signals of different form, such as continuous ring pattern signals and discontinuous growth event signals.

Full textAbstract:
Contrary to popular belief, teenage mothers are a declining proportion of birthing women; however they receive much negative public attention. Of particular public concern is the high cost of supporting teenage mothers, in terms of financial, health and welfare resources. Historically, the typical founding mother of white Australia was single, but post-war changes in the family structure incorporated the expectation that children be born into two-parent households with the male as the breadwinner. Policy changes in the seventies saw the introduction of the Sole Parents Pension which meant that many birthing teenage women could choose to keep their infants rather than have a clandestine adoption or an enforced marriage. The parenting practices of teenage mothers have been criticised for being less than optimal, and mother and child are reported as being disadvantaged cognitively, psychosocially, and educationally. One widespread nursing service which provides support for new mothers in Victoria is the Maternal and Child Health Service; however, teenage mothers appear reluctant to use such services. Why this should be so became an important question for this research, since little is known about the parenting practices of teenage mothers. This study therefore sought to explore mothering from the perspective of five sole supporting teenage mothers each of whom had a child over six months of age. The research methodology took an interpretive ethnographic approach and was guided by feminist principles. The data were collected through repeated interviewing, participant observation, informal discussions with key informants, field notes and journalling. Data analysis was aided by the use of the software, program NUD-IST. It was found that the young women in this study each chose to give birth with full realisation that their existence was dependent on the Welfare State. Unanticipated, however, were the many structural barriers which made their lives cataclysmic, but these reinforced their determination to prove themselves worthy and capable mothers. The young women negotiated motherhood through a range of social supports and through maternal practice. Unquestionably, their social dependency on the welfare system forced them into marginal citizen status. Moreover, absolute and intrinsic poverty levels were experienced, brought about by inadequate welfare payments. Formal support agencies, such as the Maternal and Child Health nurses were rarely approached to provide childrearing support beyond the initial months following birthing, since the teenagers' basic needs such as shelter, food and clothing took precedence over their parenting needs. Additionally, some nurses were perceived to hold judgmental attitudes towards teenage mothers. It was far easier to forestall confrontation with nurses and the other 'older' women clientele by avoiding them. Thus XI they turned to charitable agencies who provided a safety net in the form of emergency supplies of money, food, or equipment. Informal networks of friends provided alternative modes of support when family help failed to materialise. The children, however, provided the young women with an opportunity to transform their lives by breaking free of the past, and by creating a new, mature existence for themselves. Despite being abandoned by family, friends, lovers and society, in the privacy and isolation of their own homes, they attempted to provide a more nurturing environment for their children than they themselves had received. Each bestowed unconditional maternal love on the child and were rewarded through the pleasures of watching their children grow and develop into worthwhile individuals. The children became the focus of their attention and their reason for living. In the course of their welfare dependency, the young women became public property, targets of surveillance, and were subjected to stigmatising and condescending public attitudes wherever they went. In this way, it was evident that they were an oppressed group, but each found ways of resisting. Rather than focussing on their oppressive or disabling lives, or dwelling on their disadvantaged status, the young women sought their identities as mature women through motherhood and by demonstrating that they could do this important job well. Through motherhood their lives had meaning and a sense of purpose. The thesis concludes that motherhood in the teenage years is difficult. However, if appropriate supports are made available, teenage mothers need be no different from non-teenage mothers. But with state resources shrinking, and their own resources limited, teenage mothers are disadvantaged. In some ways, this study showed that all levels of support were inadequate, although those provided through the charitable organizations were seen to be the most appropriate. This reflects the current policy of economic rationalism adopted by most Western liberal democracies in the 1980s and 1990s and no less by the former Keating Labor Government in Australia.

Full textAbstract:
Australian women faced the last two decades of the twentieth century, optimistic in their capacity to contribute positively to social change in the restructuring state. Encouraged by the relative euphoria of the late 1970s and early 1980s, women had a fleeting glimpse of the possibilities of woman-friendly legislation and feminist inspired government policy. What eventuated was the dismantling of supportive welfare structures, under the guise of economic rationalist state action, which undermined and eventually halted womens economic and social advancement. This research project examines the impact of government policy on the welfare of Victorian women, through a feminist analysis of state and federal decision-making, framed in the context of case studies in the areas of employment, education and health. The promotion of gender-neutral policy, by generally conservative bureaucracies, effectively exposes the mythical woman-friendly state. The implications do not auger well for Victorian women in the new millenium.

Full textAbstract:
Through a longitudinal study of one teacher's science teaching practice set in the context of her base school, this thesis records the effects of the structural and policy changes that have occurred in Victorian education over the past 6-7 years - the 'Kennett era'. Initially, the purpose of the study was to investigate the teacher's practice with the view to improving it. For this, an action research approach was adopted. Across the year 1998, the teacher undertook an innovative science program with two grades, documenting the approach and outcomes. Several other teachers were involved in the project and their personal observations and comments were to form part of the data. This research project was set in the context of a single primary school and case study methodology was used to document the broader situational and daily influences which affected the teacher's practice. It was apparent soon after starting the action research that there were factors which did not allow for the development of the project along the intended lines. By the end of the project, the teacher felt that the action research had been distorted - specifically there had been no opportunity for critical reflection. The collaborative nature of the project did not seem to work. The teacher started to wonder just what had gone wrong. It was only after a break from the school environment that the teacher-researcher had the opportunity to really reflect on what had been happening in her teaching practice. This reflection took into account the huge amount of data generated from the context of the school but essentially reflected on the massive number of changes that were occurring in all schools. Several issues began to emerge which directly affected teaching practice and determined whether teachers had the opportunity to be self-reflective. These issues were identified as changes in curriculum and the teaching role, increased workload, changed power relations and changed security/morale on the professional context.
This thesis investigates the structural and policy changes occurring in Victorian education by reference to documentation and the lived experiences of teachers. It studies how the emerging issues affect the practices of teachers, particularly the teacher-researcher. The case study has now evolved to take in the broader context of the policy and structural changes whilst the action research has expanded to look at the ability of a teacher to be self-reflective: a meta-action research perspective. In concluding, the teacher-researcher reflects on the significance of the research in light of the recent change in state government and the increased government importance placed on science education in the primary context.

Tell, Tariq Moraiwed. "The social origins of Hashemite rule : Bedouin, fallah and state on the East Bank." Thesis, University of Oxford, 2001. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.606701.
Full textAbstract:
Two paradoxes on the literature on modern Jordan have inspired this research. First, the Hashemite regime in Amman has proved the most durable of those installed under Mandatory tutelage in the Arab East after World War L Yet Jordan's cohesion has either gone unremarked, or else been attributed to the personal qualities of 'Abdallah ibn al-Husayn, or Hussein ibn Talal, who between them ruled Jordan for most of its existence as a separate state. Secondly, while there is widespread scholarly support for the idea that East Bank "tribesmen" dominated the security services and formed the mainstay of Hashemite rule, there is little consideration of the material interests that have bound these actors to the regime. Nor has account been taken of the fact that the rural hinterlands from which they originate have been neglected, and that this has been a cause of the outbreaks in southern Jordan that have marked the most serious challenge to the stability of Hashemite rule in recent times. The following thesis attempts to resolve these paradoxes by investigating the social origins of Hashemite rule, charting the historical formation of the state·centric political economy that bound the Bedouin and fallahin to the throne. The argument that follows locates the material sources of Hashemite power in the evolution of a "Hashemite compact" established in Mandatory t imes and still in operation in the East Bank today. The pact exchanged political loyalty for security of livelihood and made public employment (and military service in particular) the chief source of succour for East Bankers. A protean form of this compact can be discerned during the Great Arab Revolt. It was expanded and the loyalty of the Bedouin was cemented during the 1930s when John Bagot Glubb extended the authority of the Mandatory state into the steppe east of the Hijaz railway. After 1948, the compact was expanded to embrace virtually the entire East Bank population as the Arab legion was enlarged and recruitment spread to the villages and camps of the settled zone in the 1950s and 1960s. Cloaked in the paraphernalia of Sharifian legitimacy and Hashemite Arabism, the economic dependence of the East Bankers allowed the monarchy to survive the onslaught of Nasserism between 1954 and 1964 and Palestinian nationalism between 1964 and 1971. The economic boom of the 1970s brought political stability as well as rapid economic growth but paradoxically, also eroded the efficacy of the compact. The prosperity engendered by the inflow of rents and remittances concentrated itself in Amman, Irbid and their environs. As boom turned to bust in the 1980s, the East Bank hinterlands began to show an increasing disenchantment at their steady marginalization in economic life. With the onset of economic crisis in 1988, cracks in the Hashemite compact became apparent. A rising tide of protests eventually culminated in major austerity riots in April, 1989 that brought a search for new forms of Hashemite rule.

Full textAbstract:
Das politische Phänomen ‚fragiler Staaten’ betrifft die Grundfesten des Völkerrechts, und hat dennoch wenig Beachtung in der Rechtswissenschaft gefunden. Staaten, die formal rechtlich anerkannt sind, aber faktisch kaum in der Lage sind, grundlegende staatliche Funktionen auszuüben, beeinträchtigen Funktion und Effektivität der Völkerrechtsordnung. Die Völkerrechtsordnung hängt entscheidend von der Existenz einer effektiven Regierung ab, die zumindest in der Lage ist, Rechte und Pflichten auszuüben und an den internationalen Beziehungen teilzunehmen. In der Entwicklungszusammenarbeit beispielsweise ist die Existenz eines Staates mit rechtlich anerkannter und faktisch handlungsfähiger Regierung eine Grundvoraussetzung für den Transfer finanzieller Ressourcen. Diese Arbeit zeigt mit Blick auf Recht und Praxis der Entwicklungszusammenarbeit, dass ‚fragile Staaten’ zwar kein rechtliches Phänomen sind, aber der Umgang von Internationalen Organisationen mit den Herausforderungen fragiler Staatlichkeit durchaus von rechtlicher Relevanz ist. Sie untersucht die formellen und informellen Regeln, die Entwicklungsorganisationen wie die Weltbank für den Umgang mit Staaten mit kaum handlungsfähiger Regierung erlassen haben. Das Resultat ist eine kritische Analyse des sozial konstruierten Phänomens und seiner folgenreichen Übersetzung in rechtliche Regularien.The political phenomenon of ‘fragile states’ concerns international law’s very foundations, and has yet received little attention from legal scholarship. States that have the legal status of states, but are in fact unable to fulfill even the most basic functions, pose a fundamental problem to the functioning and effectiveness of the international legal order. It crucially depends on the existence of governments with the minimum level of capacity necessary to exercise rights and obligations, and to partake in international cooperation. In development cooperation, for instance, the existence of a state with an authorized and competent government is a basic condition for the transfer of financial assistance. This study looks at the law and practice of development cooperation to show that ‘fragile states’ are a phenomenon beyond law, but how international organizations have addressed the challenges of engaging with fragile states may well be of legal significance. It analyzes the formal and informal rules that development organizations – the World Bank, and a range of regional organizations – have adopted to address the lack or severe limitation of government effectiveness in certain countries. The result is a critical analysis of the discourse on fragile states, and how it has shaped the rule-making activities of international organizations.

In past, there weren’t many political essays about financial questions. My research tried to understand the relationship between state and finance by the concept of monetary sovereignty and neo-statism. The institution of the state that administered the financial institution and policy is central bank. Central bank established is very important in the state-building process. Central bank in the process played an important role that was responsible to derive the resources from the society. In fact, the central bank of R.O.C. established in 1935.The central bank took over the monetary sovereignty of R.O.C. and settled the financial foundation of the war with Japan. As result of the separation of China after WWII, Taiwan Bank played the role of central bank in Taiwan from 1945 to 1951. So, why did the central bank of R.O.C. reestablish in 1961? The state-building process of R.O.C. had an important transition from 1950’s to 1960’s. The society’s requirement for the fundamental financial institution, including bank system, monetary institution, and financial institution was enforced by state-building process. In sum, my research point out the state-building was much important one of affecting the reestablishment of central bank factors.

This study is a case study of Taiwan Cooperative Bank, which is a recently privatized commercial bank. This study use recent financial data of ten consecutive years to analyze the performance of the Taiwan Cooperative Bank before and after the privatization by using data envelopment approach (DEA). The results can provide the government to evaluate whether the privatization of the Taiwan Cooperative Bank is a good decision. This study discusses the results in two parts. First of all, this study uses financial ratios in six factors of the official supervision by the Central Bank of Taiwan to analyze 37 Taiwan domestic commercial banks based on capital adequacy, asset quality, earnings, management, liquidity, sensitivity, and growth of banks from 2001 to 2010. Secondly, by using CCR and BCC models of DEA, this study evaluates the performance of the case study firm from 2001 to 2010. The results conclude in two aspects. First, the performance of Taiwan Cooperative Bank significantly improves after the privatization. However, compared with other stated-owned and private banks, there is no significant difference after the privatization of the Taiwan Cooperative Bank. Second, based on the results of the input-oriented CCR and BCC models of DEA, the efficiency of the Taiwan Cooperative Bank increases after the privatization.

Sutton, David F. "An analysis of paediatric palliative care in the state of Victoria." Thesis, 2005. https://vuir.vu.edu.au/17919/.
Full textAbstract:
The concept of palliative care as an holistic approach to the management of patients
with incurable conditions has its roots in the hospice movement. It has since grown
into an established field of practice for health professionals of all disciplines and has
been recognised as a medical specialty since 1987. Palliative care remains relatively
underdeveloped in the paediatric setting for a number of reasons. Firstly, death in
childhood is now relatively rare due to the advent of antibiotics, immunisation and
advances in the treatment of malignancies. This means that any health professional's
individual exposure to palliative care issues is limited, making the development and
maintenance of skills difficult. Secondly, the traditional model of palliative care, as a
path to be taken when all curative options have been explored, does not adequately
serve children and adolescents where the transition to palliative care may be less clear
due to a broader range of diagnoses and patterns of disease progression. Children also
present added dimensions to palliative care including developmental, ethical and
physiological considerations. The involvement of parents as care givers and decision
makers further increases the complexity of providing palliative care.
Research is lacking and the evidence on which to base practice is limited.
Nevertheless, there are theoretical constructs that can be utilised to build a framework
for research in this area. The works of Glaser and Strauss, Corr and Copp on theories
of death and dying coupled with earlier works by Freud, Erikson and Piaget on
theories of childhood development provide a suitable theoretical framework. Corr's
'task' based model described in 1992 allows us to view the process of providing
pediatric palliative care from many different perspectives, and thus provides for a rich
multi-dimensional model of pediatric palliative care to be constructed.
This study was done to analyse and investigate the knowledge, attitudes and needs of
both providers and recipients of palliative care in a major tertiary paediatric hospital,
the Royal Children's Hospital (RCH), Melbourne, Australia and, in addition, to
examine various models of delivery of paediatric palliative care in use around the
world, and to identify from the literature the constituents of care that make up 'best
practice' as regards paediatric palliative care. From this investigation it is hoped to
develop a model of care that will best serve the RCH and its patients.

1 Economic Impact of Central Banking Abstract Aim of the following work is to analyse economic impact of central banking, and it is primarily reaction to loose monetary policies adopted after subprime crisis by most of world's central institutions. In first part, I am focusing on presentation of some historical facts related to formation of central banking and summarizing institutional development of banks in Czech Republic, United States and Japan. Second part is focusing on explanation of theoretical basis on which following critic of central banking is built upon. It is mainly explanation of subjective value theory, time preferences and interest that is inevitable result of existence of production structure. Second part of this section is dedicated to central banking itself, mainly to monetary expansion that has destructive impact on market coordination, conceals market prices and leads to systematical entrepreneur mistakes, that stand on the beginning of every economic crisis. Third part of this work is practical and is divided into three subsections. In first, I am focusing on phenomena of Japan's lost decades and I'm explaining that stagnation of the nineties is the result of manipulated interest rates and uncontrolled expansion of monetary base.

In recent years, the banking industry faced the high competition and over-banking in the domestic market. Bankers are all committed to developing international markets. The domestic banking industry that engaged in internationalization had increased their profit gradually from their overseas branches and Offshore Banking Unit (OBU). As a result, promoting international business has become the focal point in the banking industry. Based on qualitative research method in this study, for a state-owned bank (Land Bank of Taiwan), how to increase capital and internationalize. A secondary data analysis and interviews are adopted to summarize and make suggestions. The results conclude as follows: 1. For the Basel Capital Accord III (Basel III), the Land Bank of Taiwan plan to increase capital NTD$30 billion, the equity of the Ministry of Finance will be reduced to about 80%. As long as the Ministry of Finance no longer releases their shares, the Land Bank of Taiwan is still as a state-owned bank. 2. The Land Bank of Taiwan had owned six overseas branches. Recently, it is working on plans to establish a branch in Wuhan. As for the recent popular region - ASEAN, except for the Singapore branch has already established, there is no disposition to set up new branches in ASEAN at this stage. 3. Although the overseas income of Land Bank of Taiwan grows up, however, compared to the other banks, the ratio of the profit from overseas is the lowest in these two years. In other words, there is still a lot of improvement to try hard

This study is concerned with the development of entrepreneurship in young Thais, studying at high school level through an entrepreneurship encouragement program undertaken during the recent period of Thailand's economic recovery. This program is considered new to the country since it focuses on high school participants, a target-group untapped by most existing business incubation programs. In addition, it also takes significant account of the experiential learning method for entrepreneurship development. The research shows that the program had substantial, yet limited impact in encouraging its participants to become future entrepreneurs. This was due to the individual background, parental influence, and differences in their own beliefs that played an essential role in supporting or hindering young Thais towards entrepreneurship. Quantitative and qualitative research methods, used in conjunction, were used to portray the overall effectiveness of this program; such a mixed method is not commonly practiced in most entrepreneurship program evaluations. Quantitative research was used primarily to give representative results on how well the specific program objectives had been achieved by the participants as well as to select representatives of the program for the qualitative data gathering. Qualitative research was utilised to capture testimonials of program impacts and to obtain a comprehensive interpretation of participants’ perceptions, evaluation of program effectiveness, and the factors that support or hinder their development towards entrepreneurship. The study suggests that this short-term entrepreneurship encouragement program had limited success; success was dependent on both personal and external factors relating to each participant. It showed that one’s prior condition was a significant determinant of the varying level of success. The program was able to encourage the participants with relatively limited business experience towards entrepreneurship, specifically in stimulating more awareness and knowledge in developing entrepreneurial competencies. For those participants with an established background in business, the program provided a period of incubation that encouraged them to become entrepreneurs; it provided them with an opportunity of real business implementation that increased their prospects of success in future entrepreneurship. The concrete success levels revealed by the study suggests that this short-term entrepreneurship encouragement program might best position itself by providing an initial selection process to separate the ‘entrepreneurto- be’ from the ‘will not be’. The selected ‘entrepreneur-to-be’ could then be further groomed to be one of the successful entrepreneurs to play an important role in driving the long-term economic growth of Thailand.

Full textAbstract:
Central and Eastern Europe(CEE) is the region where the ownership of banks has been through the most fundamental and massive changes during the past two decades. This paper analyses the role of state-ownership in commercial banks, whether and why state ownership imposes negative effects on commercial banks in CEE transition countries, through both theoretical arguments and empirical testings. The thesis summarizes previous literature and analyses the role of banking ownership and performance, particularly though a dynamic view of the banking privatisation process. It investigates the reasons why state-owned banks are harmful in CEE countries from a corporate governance point of view. Followed by empirical tests on this topic, including banking production efficiency measurement using Stochastic Frontier Analysis and second-stage regression analysis about the effects of ownership on banking efficiency and asset quality. This paper finds out that the state ownership of banks imposes negative effects on bank performance and hinders successful privatisation of enterprises. Banking production efficiency has been improving greatly in late 1990s and stayed at a constant high level in 2000s. Through panel data regressions, we find the negative effects of state-ownership on banking production efficiency and asset...

Using a panel data of 16 listed Chinese banks over the 2005-2014 period, the main emphasis of this thesis is study on government-owned banks’ risk and performance. By examining the effects of ownership structure on financial performance and risk, specifically ownership structure, we divide by Big Four government-owned banks, other government-owned banks and private banks to discuss the influences of different ownership structure. The results reveal that the Big Four and government-owned banks are less profitable but more efficient than the private banks. The regression analysis on NPL (Non-performing loan) and CRA (coverage ratio of allowances for bad debt) suggests that the government-owned banks have worse lending behavior and tend to take more risk. Further, the Big Four government-owned banks have higher capital adequacy ratio than those of private banks, which means that government-owned banks they have better asset quality. Moreover, a higher capital adequacy ratio lead to that the banks’ cost efficiency is higher, but the performance is lower. Finally, GDP growth rate was negatively related to the NPL, and privatized government-owned banks have better performance and lower risk than privatization.

This thesis aims to compare the difference of risks and performances between state-owned banks and private banks. Using the panel data of publicly traded bank in Taiwan from 2005 to 2014, this study analyzes various indicators of risks and performances, which is including profitability, efficiency, loans management and risk. Several main results are listed as follows. First, comparing sample mean of state-owned banks and private banks, reveals that state-owned banks have less profitability in the aspect of interest income and have better efficiency for numerous indicators than privately owned banks. The quality of loans is higher in state-owned banks, by examing the indicator of loan losses. Moreover, private banks have better capital adequacy ratios than state-owned banks. Second, this thesis builds an ordinary least squares model which includes the indicators of risk and performance as dependent variables, and also conducts robustness test to include fixed and random. Regression results suggest several conclusions. For the profitability, there are two indicators showing that the ability of making profits is poor in state-owned banks. For efficiency, only the indicator of employee rate appears a significant difference between state-owned banks and private bank. For risk indicators, the ability of taking risk is higher in state-owned banks.

Libraries have been with us for almost as long as writing; their role, purpose and means of operation have changed greatly over the thousands of years of their existence. Technology simpliciter can be understood as humans at work. The way we work shapes the technologies we use just as technologies shape the way we work. That is, there is a mutual shaping or coconstruction of society and technology. This thesis is a study of libraries and the introduction of Internet technologies. Employing the notion of an open system that is, one which is undergoing constant change, has indeterminate boundaries and means of control, it examines from a sociotechnical viewpoint, informed by Actor-Network Theory, the way the mutual interaction between technologies, society and culture shape the evolution of the system. Data were collected in 1998-9 and 2005 utilizing techniques from both ethnographic and case study research, to capture and illustrate this fluidity. Three libraries in Melbourne, Australia, were objects of this exploratory study with both library staff and users being interviewed and observed as they engaged with Internet technologies as part of their working, studying, communicating or recreational lives. The thesis report seeks to make the reader aware, through a process of reflexive or confessional reporting, the interrelatedness of all the actors (including the researcher), both human and nonhuman, in the evolution and shaping of the system of Internet use in the organizations that were the objects of this study. The resulting study reveals uncertainty, resistance, accommodation, enthusiasm and even failure in the sociotechnical system and serves to illustrate the fallibility of theories that assume society and technology are essentially static categories -especially when applied at the micro level, as here.

Full textAbstract:
The Huizachal-Peregrina Anticlinorium is a large NNW-trending structure in the front ranges of the Sierra Madre Oriental of Mexico (23° 45ʹ N; 99° 10ʹ W). The breached core of the anticlinorium exposes three major geologic terranes: (1) . A late Precambrian granulite terrane (Novillo Gneiss) remarkably similar in composition, appearance, grade and age of metamorphism to rocks of the Grenville Province, especially the Adirondacks; (2). A mid-Paleozoic low-grade metamorphic complex (Granjeno Schist) of volcano-sedimentary origin with ophiolite rock assemblages, that resemble rocks of the Ouachita-Appalachian inner zones; and (3). A strongly folded and faulted section of Paleozoic fossilifireous sedimentary strata, more than 1500 m thick, similar to the rocks of the Ouachita frontal zone exposed in the Marathon region of Texas. Except for an extensive subcrop terrain of Permo-Triassic granitic intrusives, the terranes in the area studied represent "unique samples" of the Pre-Mesozoic basement framework of eastern Mexico. These terranes belong to two ancient superposed orogenic systems: the Late Precambrian Oaxacan (Grenville) and the Paleozoic Huastecan (Ouachita-Appalachian) structural belts. Based on the geologic study of these pre-Mesozoic terranes at Huizachal-Peregrina, and compared with the widely spaced and limited outcrops (and sub-crops) of equivalent rock units of eastern Mexico, a tectonic model is proposed which interprets the granulite terrane as representative of continental crust, and the low-grade metamorphic terrane as rocks that accumulated on top of the ocean crust of a marginal basin. This latter sequence experienced a complex history of deformation and metamorphism as it was subducted towards the east, culminating 330 m.y. ago. The onset of Carboniferous-Permian orogenic flysch sedimentation is interpreted to have occurred when the marginal basin became closed by an arc-continent collision. The Permo-Triassic granitic rock terrane of the subsurface of the Gulf Coastal Plain represents the magmatic roots of that volcanic arc. The pervasive NW to NNW-trending structural grain, of the Oaxacan and Huastecan structural belts south of Huizachal-Peregrina through Oaxaca, when compared to the NE-trending distribution of Precambrian and Paleozoic terranes in the United States are compatible with the existence of a proposed zone of large left-lateral displacement across northern Mexico.text

Since the economic recession in 2008, financial holding corporations and banks have all established financial management centers in order to enhance their competitive advantages. Top management levels in banks have to apply effective motivation systems and performance management to shift passive marketing in the past top active marketing. The samples of the research are financial consultants for individual customers at wealth management in a specific governmental bank in Taiwan. The purpose of this research is to discuss the effects on how motivation systems influence job performance. Because financial consultants are not so enthusiastic about promoting financial products as those salespersons in other industries, this study is expected to reinforce the job involvement and sales skills by applying effective motivation systems. Consequently, the research used perception of motivation system as the independent variable for job performance and then furthermore analyze whether job performance can produce mediation effect according to the above reasons. Ultimately, it would discuss how perception of motivation systems would influence job performance for financial consultants. Moreover, mediation effect between work involvement and job performance was analyzed. In the study, 350 surveys were distributed to financial consultants and 268 returned were valid with 64 % of respond rate. After T-testing, One Way ANOVA, Correlation Analysis, and Regression Analysis, key results were discovered below: 1.Financial consultants in governmental banks with more satisfaction with motivation systems involved more and performed better at work. 2.The more involved in jobs financial consultants are, the better job performance they had. 3.Job involvement is an essential mediation effect between perception of motivation systems and job performance. Based on the research findings, some suggestions are proposed for a case company. 1.A clear, perfect, and more satisfactory motivation system should be established for financial consultants in governmental banks. 2.A robust and transparent promotional system should also be set up. Besides, how to enhance job security plays an important role for job performance as well. 3.An appropriate evaluation of job performance should be established. In addition, evaluation should be executed regularly.

The state-owned banking institutions served by researchers have an extremely important position in financial system in Taiwan, so their affiliated staffs suffer from great working pressure, and whether the working pressure has the knock-on effect on job satisfaction is worth researching and discussing. With the staffs in the branch bank in the east of Yihua District as subjects, this study discusses the correlation between job satisfaction and working pressure of bank staffs, summarizes the study results and proposes the specific suggestions, in hope that banking industry can pay close attention to occupational health. Through questionnaire survey, this study applies descriptive statistics, One-way ANOVA, Pearson product-moment correlation, multiple regression analysis and other methods for study analysis. The results show that: (1) Staffs in one state-owned bank have the highest working pressure in “physiological reaction”, followed by “behavior reaction”, with the lowest working pressure in “psychological reaction”; in terms of job satisfaction, “working relationship and atmosphere” is the highest, followed by “corporate welfare and promotion”. (2) Analysis for personal characteristics and working pressure: 1) In terms of gender and marital status, there is no significant difference between male and female staffs or staffs being married and unmarried in working pressure. 2) In terms of age, there is significant difference in the dimension of “psychological reaction” between lower age staff and higher age staff, and the former has greater working pressure than the latter. 3) In terms of seniority, some staffs with lower seniority have higher pressure in “psychological reaction”. 4) Staffs with undergraduate education suffer from significantly higher pressure than those with college education in “behavior reaction” and “physiological reaction”. 5) Grass-roots staffs suffer from greater pressure than managerial personnel in “behavior reaction” and “physiological reaction”. (3) Analysis for personal characteristics and job satisfaction: 1) In terms of corporate welfare and promotion, there is no significant difference in job satisfaction for staffs with different gender, age, seniority, position and marital status, and only staffs with “college education” have higher job satisfaction than those with “undergraduate education”. 2) There is significant difference in the dimension of “corporate welfare and promotion”. (4) Correlation analysis between working pressure and job satisfaction: 1) The “corporate welfare and promotion” in job satisfaction is significantly negatively correlated to “behavior reaction” and “physiological reaction” in working pressure. 2) The “working relationship and atmosphere” in job satisfaction is significantly negatively correlated to “psychological reaction” in working pressure. (5) In regression analysis, the “psychological reaction”and "behavior reaction" in working pressure has a significant effect on working relationship and atmosphere, and “behavior reaction” and “physiological reaction” has a significant effect on corporate welfare and promotion. According to the study findings, this study puts forward the following several suggestions: (1) In working pressure, provide channels and establish specific performance goal to relieve the working pressure of banking staffs; (2) In job satisfaction, offer variable compensation systems outside the system and different communication channels for the enhancement of staff’s job satisfaction.

The individual case study company is a one-hundred percent state-owned bank. There is less elasticity in its personnel system since it is limited by decree and regulation. Yet the flexibility of human resource development and talent cultivation of state-owned bank is like holding a candle to the former in financial industry; if the human resource management of state-owned bank is unable to transform in the future soon, it will encounter the predicament about lacking of talents. Hence, an appropriate promotion system is expected to be implemented so as to select the outstanding talents. The individual case study company was established for ages, bearing the mission of national policies, and the human resource promotion system has been implemented for years as well. Even though he promotion system has been amended from time to time, there are still some defects and failures. In this study, the Two Factor Theory issued by Herzberg is utilized as the basis structure, and three main suggestions are elaborated: 1. amending the Civil Service Performance Evaluation Act, setting Grade B will be the standard for general staffs in order to correct the inactive attitude; 2. designing a subject learning portfolio for the staffs to establish the necessary capacities and strengthen the training for middle managements and executives; 3. combining the training of middle managements and executives with the promotion system, making the people with great abilities ought to be promoted and break the old subjectivity and faction thinking.

The growth of popularity of the Internet sees the rapid increase in its number of users; coupled with the booming e-commerce scene, not only the trading model of consumers is gradually shifting physical to virtual, but online banking has also become an important driving force behind the change. Financial institutions are all launching related new products, heating up the competition. This study explores the key indicators of the e-service quality that customers value when using online banking, targeting online banking customers of the privatized government banks in Taiwan. Meanwhile, due to the fact that this study summarizes the research methods of various scholars and experts, considering the limited resources, when the researcher must "choose an appropriate plan," the evaluation of each alternative plan must be based on certain standards to determine the advantage priority of each plan. Analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is thus employed as the research method. The empirical results show that the order of importance of key service indicators is "account information security and reliability," "ease of use of the user interface", "customized interface," and "webpage design".

yesDonated Human Milk Banking is a trending topic in healthcare management and has potential for business development opportunities at hospitals and independent organisations in developing countries. A preliminary definition of a Human Milk Bank “is a service established to recruit breast milk donors, collect donated milk, and then process, screen, store, and distribute the milk to meet infants’ specific needs for optimal health. Although there are indications about the beginning of such practices date back to the 2001’s, private sector human milk banking has gained momentum in terms of popularity and acceptability. There is evidence of the presence of human milk banks in the USA during the 1990’s, which potential was affected by the development of specialty formulas, safety issues linked with viral transmission, and lack of credible clinical research in this area. However, recent developments in clinical studies, government cooperation with medical research centres and health authorities have shown considerable improvement in the public view of Human Milk Bank’s creating a positive climate for private sector provision.

Full textAbstract:
Recent literature has highlighted the importance of examining the practices of auditing. However, most of the focus of previous literature has been on front stage elements, such as the audit reports and annual reports. Relatively little attention has been paid to backstage elements, such as the audit methodologies and strategic planning processes that underpin the performance of auditability. Power (1996, 1997, 2003b), Khalifa et al. (2007) and Robson et al. (2007) argue that it is necessary to understand both the audit context and the audit methodologies that underpin audit practice in order to understand how auditability is constructed. This thesis examines how regimes of auditability associated with the value for money (VFM) audit are created and enacted and focuses on the key elements of the VFM audit process namely: audit methodologies, strategic planning process and audit environment with three research questions.
The three research questions addressed in this study are: how are VFM audit methodologies developed; how does the role of VFM audit methodology, as reflected by VFM audit process, change over time; how is VFM audit enacted through the strategic planning process. These research questions are explored in the context of the Victorian Auditor-General’s Office (VAGO) between 1982 and 2007. The construction of auditability is theorised by applying the concepts of framing and overflowing (Goffman 1959, 1974; Callon 1998, 1999). This study is informed by qualitative research methodology—particularly research methods attributable to critical and interpretive approaches.
This study recognises three different roles that VFM audit methodologies can play (accounting device, change enabler and inscription) and that influence audit practice differentially. This study concludes that the role of VFM audit methodologies in creating auditability can change over time. It finds that the VAGO developed VFM audit methodologies to produce four categories of focus frames as VFM audit reports: auditing frames, management consultancy frames, legal frames and research frames. This study concludes that the strategic planning devices became a powerful representation material in creating an interactional link between VFM audit methodologies and the audit environment. Those strategic plans were embedded with power in order to influence and activate the VFM audit practice in harmonising the relationship between the VAGO and other actors/stakeholders in the VFM audit.
The findings suggest that the VAGO developed the audit environment by implementing corporate and annual plans from 1986, and that developing VFM audit methodologies and creating an audit environment receptive to those methodologies by the VAGO established its jurisdictional rights in this area. This is reflected in the fact that the VAGO is considered an expert on VFM audit in Victoria by the Public Accounts and Estimates Committee (PAEC) of the Victorian Parliament. This study extends the argument that auditing methodologies are not passive scripts—they work as inscriptions in processing data and information to produce VFM audit reports, and provide legitimacy for public sector organisational operations.
This study argues that the construction of auditability for the VFM audit is unique and it involves the development of audit methodologies and enacting them through the process of strategic planning by an Auditor-General’s Office.

After privatization, manpower, organizational structure, management style, etc. are also changed accordingly, especially when previously the employees were public servants, but afterwards their identity and work environment were changed, their mentality and behavior also changed. The wave of privatization is unstoppable. How enterprises conform and take advantage of this trend, and then grasp staff’s sense of identity and behavior in order to achieve organizational goals and create excess benefit is the issue needed to pay attention to after the privatization of organizations. Based on the purpose of privatization we need to activate organization and enhance operating performance. We also take considerations that banks depend on a lot of human capital to creation, by employing psychological level is better than external supply, it is only by enhancing employees' organizational identity we can achieve effectively influence on employee’s behaviors. In this thesis, we take the first privatized financial institution, Chang Hwa Commercial Bank as an example and from what scholar Liang Shuanglian (1984) pointed out the sense of cohesion, involvement, loyalty and alienation as the study’s aspect together with the view of Katz & Kahn (1966, 1978). In a highly performance organization, employees must equip with the following three main behaviors: maintaining behavior, submissive behavior and initiative behavior. We use correlation between the above behaviors as study framework and our research method is mainly adopt document analysis and questionnaire methods, supplemented with in-depth interviews to confirm and analyze both the theory and practice. Our analysis aimed at different hiring period of employees and the thesis findings are as follows: I. Organizational Identity (1) Impact Affecting Employee’s Organizational Identity Differences 1. Organizational identification comes from the member’s involvement to the organizations. Through being a long time in the organization, emotion and time invested, employee has a high degree of cohesion in organization. 2. Based on the cost of the utilitarian considerations, the staff is difficult to discard the current status and salary obtained etc. The scarcity reward means they hold the organization's decision-making, honor, and power etc. values, therefore employees at public sectors had higher recognition at their job position. 3. Employees at public sector period would take their age, skills and related job conditions into consideration and the fact they could not obtained the same working environment and compensation levels available outside. (2) Similarities 1. Based on mutually beneficial exchange relationship between the individual and the organization, when employees put more inputs in the organization and gain more and more positional value, so employees do not easily leave the existing duties, which play a important part of impacting work factors 2. When the organization members felt within the organization it has a good organizational climate and will affect the performance of the employee’s job satisfaction, organizational culture of the public sector’s background indirectly helped to create a the goodness workplace environment conducive to the staff of the organization to generate positive dependence of cohesion in view of it still continues the public sector’s workplace atmosphere, so that the staff can feel the same atmosphere. 3. After Chang Hwa Bank’s privatization reform, and with financial holding company share’s background, coincided with the bank’s amendment of “Chang Hwa Commercial Bank Staff Rotation Management Approach" which included all staff in the head office’s personnel management resulted in unstable personnel compared with the past. 4. If employees feel the organization has a good reputation, they will have positive identification with the organization because when employees are dedicated to the organization, by sharing organizational prestige and authority, it will also contribute staff members’ personal enhancement and self-aggrandizement. In other words, when the corporate image or social status gives a better perception to the outside world, it will affect the employee’s positive identity to the organization. II. Performance Behavior (1) Submissive behavior is difficult to be a criterion as determining staff performance. (2) The work of both affordable and challenging behavior is conducive to maintaining behaviors. (3) Active behavior is only limited at self requirement stage. III. The Correlation between Organizational Identification and Performance Behavior (1) Submissive behavior has a significant positive alienation. (2) Maintaining behavior, cohesion, sense of loyalty and involvement all have a positive significance. (3) Active behavior and cohesion, sense of loyalty and involvement have a positive significance. Concluded from the aforementioned, the study found that in the public sector bank’s privatization, the biggest niche for the organization is to provide a group of people with a sense of identity for the organization and their sense of identity also affects employees’ positive behavior. This level of staff for the organization is mainly based on cohesion, but it is also a major concern for the organization after privatization of the bank. The staff recruited after privatization is relatively weaker in organizational identity and behavior performance. They lack of initiative and sense of loyalty. This study provides a reference for local bank’s privatization and personnel management. We enhance organizational identity, exclude staff essentially differences and focus on the internal and external environmental improvement and from maintenance of existing relationships in the workplace within and efforts to enhance the focus on organizational and operational performance and create corporate image from the outside in order to comply with the implementation of privatization’s intended purpose and synergy.

Full textAbstract:
Public decisions impact each of our lives, now and into the future. We entrust them to politicians and civil servants, expecting our elected and paid representatives to act in the public interest and to deliver on the promises they make to us. This thesis explores what has led to the arguably limited achievement of sustainable development by public decision-makers, despite three decades of increasing international, national, and subnational commitments to it.
Thirty-five interviews and a survey (n=98) of current or former Victorian Public Sector employees provide insights into public decision-making. Inductive thematic and statistical analyses across case studies and cohorts, network mapping, and systems thinking are applied to draw and validate conclusions stemming from those insights.
Forty influences, ranging from the personal characteristics of individual decision-makers to the definition, availability and use of evidence, are found to have the potential to both help and hinder the achievement of desired public outcomes. Regression and distributional analyses show that the importance of these influences varies, depending on context and perspective. For example: participants whose work focused on achieving sustainable development have quite different influence importance hierarchies compared to their more general decision-making focused peers; and, participants with a more 'upbeat' approach focus more on influences individuals can impact than their less 'upbeat' colleagues. Network mapping of the linkages between influences illustrates the importance of interconnected approaches to their management, and a theory on the level of control individuals can exert upon each is proposed.
Additionally, considerations of sustainable development are found to be influenced by: the presence of reinforcing feedback loops within the decision-making system; apparently limited awareness of the ability to change or evolve the system; inconsistent goal definition (interviewees provide seven definitions of sustainable development); and heuristics (a third of participants are unaware of the Sustainable Development Goals, and of those indicating awareness a number demonstrate poorer understanding than they self-assess).
Seventy-eight percent of participants indicate people have more influence upon public outcomes than formal frameworks, suggesting the latter are of limited value. Other solutions discussed include: tweaking existing processes to encourage thinking and awareness of sustainable development; highlighting individual's agency; applying the understandings of system leverage points gained herein; and, a suite of interviewee ideas for enhancing public decision effectiveness or longevity.
This thesis concludes that public decision-makers recognise unmet public expectations and do their best to address them. But, they are often overwhelmed by the system's complexity and underestimate the impact they can reasonably have upon it, leaving many of them feeling as frustrated and powerless as the public they endeavour to serve. However, it also suggests that public decision makers who believe they can personally drive change, are more likely to do so and that greater self-efficacy within the public sector will lead to a lessening of the gap between public aspirations and delivered public outcomes. The identified influences and solutions, presented amidst a previously unavailable and rich set of insights and other factors identified in the literature, provide a basis on which to enhance these practices. Further, it is suggested that these conclusions and the influences identified apply not only to sustainable development in Victoria but to many other public decision-making issues and geographic scales, broadening the potential application of the findings.
