Full textMany Problems surround the spread and use of data on social media. There is a need to promote trust on social platforms, regarding the sharing and consumption of data. Data online is mostly in textual form which poses challenges for automation solutions because of the richness of natural language. In addition, the use of micro-messages as the main means of communication on social media makes the problem much more challenging because of the scarceness of features to analyze per body of text. Our experiments show that data anonymity solutions cannot preserve user anonymity without sacrificing data quality. In addition, in the field of author verification, which is the problem of determining if a body of text was written by a specific person or not, given a set of documents known to be authored by them, we found a lack of research working with micro-messages. We also noticed that the state-of-the-art does not take text semantics into consideration, making them vulnerable to impersonation attacks. Motivated by these findings, we devote this thesis to tackle the tasks of (1) identifying the current problems with user data anonymity in text, and provide an initial novel semantic-based approach to tackle this problem, (2) study author verification in micro-messages and identify the challenges in this field, and develop a novel semantics-based approach to solve these challenges, and (3) study the effect of including semantics in handling manipulation attacks, and the temporal effect of data, where the authors might have changing opinions over time. The first part of the thesis focuses on user anonymity in textual data, with the aim to anonymize personal information from online user data for safe data analysis without compromising users’ privacy. We present an initial novel semantic-based approach, which can be customized to balance between preserving data quality and maximizing user anonymity depending on the application at hand. In the second part, we study author verification in micro-messages on social media. We confirm the lack of research in author verification on micro-messages, and we show that the state-of-the-art, which primarily handles long and medium-sized texts, does not perform well when applied on micro-messages. Then we present a semantics-based novel approach which uses word embeddings and sentiment analysis to collect the author’s opinion history to determine the correctness of the claim of authorship, and show its competitive performance on micro-messages. We use these results in the third part of the thesis to further improve upon our approach. We construct a dataset consisting of the tweets of the 88 most followed twitter influencers. We use it to show that the state-of-the-art is not able to handle impersonation attacks, where the content of a tweet is altered, changing the message behind the tweet, while the writing pattern is preserved. On the other hand, since our approach is aware of the text’s semantics, it is able to detect text manipulations with an accuracy above 90%. And in the fourth part of the thesis, we analyze the temporal effect of data on our approach for author verification. We study the change of authors’ opinions over time, and how to accommodate for that in our approach. We study trends of sentiments of an author per a specific topic over a period of time, and predict false authorship claims depending on what timeframe does the claim of authorship fall in

This thesis will develop a basic method to evaluate the overall quality of proposed infrastructure projects for private sector financial investment. INFRATEST is meant to aid both potential private infrastructure developers and public entities, which desire to privatize certain infrastructure projects, in selection of the most appropriate infrastructure projects to benefit from the advantages of free enterprise. INFRATEST is premised on 15 equally-weighted factors which represent the major components that affect overall infrastructure project economic, financial, and technical viability. Associated with each of the 15 factors are indicators which measure the important aspects of their respective factors. There are 31 indicators in all and they are evaluated on a numerical scale of one to ten. Factor scores are determined from indicator value averages. INFRATEST can serve the private developer and the public entity by providing an information base for deciding which privately funded infrastructure development proposals deserve consideration in the capital markets and for deciding which proposed infrastructure projects are to be developed with public or private funds. Application of INFRATEST to two real-world project proposals, the SAVE project and the Northumberland Bridge project, demonstrated the method's ease and universality of application as well as the method's simple and clear conclusions.

Full textThe debts of children and teenagers that are registered at the Swedish Enforcement Authority, have in the past few years hit an all-time high. School has a responsibility to try and stop this disturbing development. This essay is about private economy and its existence in three different textbooks for civics 1A1 and the Swedish high school. The goal is to investigate which support these books can give teachers and students. Private economy is a recent addition to the Swedish teaching program 2011 and is now read by all high school students. I have been able to identify the existence of private economy in textbooks by creating a code schedule. This way I have been able to decide the quantitative by simply counting words. The review is categorical in two parts where the second part illuminating the content and tries to make conclusions by different types of text analyses. The conclusion of this essay is that the books have its differences, both strengths and weaknesses. It is mostly the use of language that differs. A textbook in civics does not demand great text understanding. Two of the books handle this well, while the third one does not.

Full textThis book deals with a phenonmen that counts as a constant feature in the history of Christianity: New Revelations. Despite the canonization of the Bible and despite the critical look of the Church, there are and always have been people who claim that they have received a revelation by God, Christ, the Holy Spirit or other beings (such as Mary, angels or spirits). Scientists of religion have largely ignored this topic up to now. They have relinquished Christianity to theologians and have at best dealed with free-floating esotericism, while theologians on their part tend to fight New Revelations apologetically. The present study, however, sets out to investigate New Revelations from a Religious Studies perspective and will therefore address this neglect. In the first part of the book, different perspectives common in Religious Studies are applied to the investigation of the notion “revelation“. After first having outlined Christian theology’s understanding of revelation, different terms are being analysed, which are in use for post-Biblical revelations (such as New Revelation, Private Revelation, Channeling, Spiritism, Prophecy and more). This is followed by the presentation of arguments against and in favour of the legitimacy of New Revelations as they are being urged by adherents of New Revelations on the one hand and Clerical apologetics on the other hand. A historical survey then demonstrates that New Revelations are in fact not new at all. The claim of people, who are supposed to have received a special revelation, can be found at all times in Christian history. After having presented some exponents of the prophetic charisma as spiritual soulmates and precedesors of the modern New Revelations, those texts themselves become the focus of attention. With the help of a typology, the disparate array of recipients of revelation in the 19th and 20th century is being outlined based on several exemplary figures. To break through a circle of quotation, which has apparently established in the discourse, the typology also contains some New Revelationists who are yet relatively unknown. Based on the Mexican New Revelation “The Book of the True Life“, the second part of the book exemplifies these religio-philosophical, semantic, historical and systematical approaches. This analysis, however, is not limited to an isolated object but it is put into a comparative context: central topics of “The Book of the True Life“ (Christology, Doctrine of Reincarnation, Church criticism and many more) are presented in a synopsis with other New Revelations, as well as mirrored at orthodox theology. With this, a twofold difference is being demonstrated: the closeness/distance to similar phenomena and the closeness/distance to clerical Christianity.

O contexto globalizado do mundo atual proporcionou a criação de diversas Redes de interação corporativa. O surgimento do Direito Administrativo Global trouxe um novo desafio às relações internacionais e os modelos clássicos do Direito Internacional Público. A este espeque, temos a criação de modelos de gestão corporativa capazes de se sobrepor aos ordenamentos jurídicos dos Estados, formalizando a criação de um conjunto normativo capaz de regular as atividades empresariais de maneira eficaz e ágil. Ainda nestes termos, temos a Responsabilidade Social das Empresas, caracterizada pelos códigos de conduta e regras internacionais de certificação, que motivam as empresas transnacionais a atuar em atenção aos direitos e garantias fundamentais. Entretanto, somente os mecanismos do Direito Administrativo Global podem exigir uma conduta ilibada através da Regulação Privada Transnacional.

Full textBackground: Customer do not intend to purchase a product or service that does not provide them with value and this is something that companies have to consider. At the same time companies aim to achieve financial or non-financial profits by selling their products or services. The market is very competitive and ultimately it is the consumers who have the power to pick and choose whatever alternative that fits them best. Hence, this is something companies have to take into consideration. The private sector provides services rather than products and it is this which is used to attract customers and therefore something companies continually have to work with in order to survive in the market. In order to investigate this, different companies’ view of value creation, continual learning and resources have been studied. Aim: To investigate how service companies work with value creation, continual learning and utilized resources (within the range of internal development work). The aim is also to compare company’s level of maturity and suggest where improvements can be made. Methodology: The study is qualitative with a hermeneutic approach. Data were collected from scientific articles, internet sources and books. Four companies and five persons in total participated in the study and were interviewed using a semi-structured interview form. The data was later analyzed with the help of an organizational IQ-test. Results and conclusion: Companies often have a similar ethos in the way they think about value creation and continuous learning. However, the empirical data shows that companies differ in regard to conflict management, as well as some of the companies having difficulties in making changes at the local level because they act in a global marked. In order to achieve value creation and continuous learning all the companies use a great deal of resources to meet the needs and demands from customers. However, the maturity level of value creation and continuous learning look different between various companies because the companies are good at different activities. It is in these areas there lies the potential for improvement. Contribution of the thesis: It provides increased knowledge in how the private service sector works with value creation and continual learning. It also provides further knowledge of how the service sector excels, its maturity grade in value creation and continual learning, and how they can improve.

Diagnosis of malaria is important in order to ensure early and effective treatment, to facilitate public health surveillance, and to prevent drug resistance. Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are an important tool in resource-constrained settings, as they do not rely on costly lab equipment and specially trained personnel. In Uganda's private sector clinics and drug shops, which is where the majority of patients first seek care, diagnosis of malaria is often presumptive and patients receive neither RDT nor microscopy. Several studies have focused on the patient perspective (e.g. willingness to pay and willingness to be tested) but much less is understood about the supplier perspective (e.g. willingness to stock). This study aimed to understand the preferences and priorities of agents across the malaria RDT supply chain in Uganda on stocking the devices using multi-criteria decision analysis. This methodology was adapted to be relevant and understandable for agents in Uganda so that it was possible to analyze business decisions incorporating a multiplicity of attributes such as selling price, purchase cost, sales volume, complexity of regulations, waste management, and training available. Data surveys and semistructured interviews were collected from 28 private sector retailers (i.e., shopkeepers, pharmacists, clinic managers), two first line buyers, and three distributors. Analysis of the data resulted in the construction of value functions for all agents, the relative weights (therefore the tradeoffs) among decision criteria, and the calculation of an overall value for the decision about whether or not to stock RDTs for the different supply chain agents. Results indicate that the best option for one level of the supply chain is not necessarily the best for another. A discussion offers insights on how to align value across the supply chain, which is important for facilitating public health interventions.

Full textOs diários de escrita íntima constituem tipo de texto do domínio confessional. Apresentam narrativas pessoais com características específicas ao gênero, como datação, marcas de subjetividade, escrita informal e coloquialidade. Durante muitos anos, eram escritos em cadernos e guardados a sete chaves por seus autores para que não fossem lidos por outras pessoas. Por volta dos anos 80, surgiram as agendas de adolescentes. Aproveitando o modelo pré-definido industrialmente, as agendas eram preenchidas dia a dia, como um diário, mas com a novidade do acréscimo de elementos semióticos, como fotos, papéis de bala, recortes de revistas, entre outros. Além disso, traziam como diferencial a presença de um leitor participativo: os textos eram compartilhados com amigos, e bilhetes e comentários eram escritos nas páginas das agendas. Com o advento da Internet, o diário e a agenda se fundem no blog que aproveita os recursos do suporte virtual para tornar o gênero interativo, hipertextual e multimídia, acentuando o processo de leitura e de escrita nos jovens produtores de blogs. Paralelamente, a escrita se torna grande ferramenta de comunicação no ambiente virtual, adquirindo características peculiares em função da rapidez na comunicação e da economia de digitação. A partir da teoria de Bakthin sobre gêneros do discurso e do conceito de gêneros digitais de Marcuschi, a pesquisa apresenta como objeto perceber e elencar categorias pertinentes aos gêneros diário e blog para analisá-las e compará-las, na intenção de mapear um possível percurso dos diários aos blogs de adolescentes, discutindo o contraste público-privado na escrita íntima, bem como suas principais marcas linguísticas, percebendo vantagens e desvantagens de sua utilização como ferramenta auxiliar no processo de aprendizagem da escrita e da leitura de Língua Portuguesa. A pesquisa foi motivada pela discussão de que a escrita digital pode prejudicar o desenvolvimento da produção textual de jovens em formação, o que não se confirmou, visto que a estrutura sintática da língua se mantém, e que a variação acontece apenas no nível vocabular, não interferindo na comunicação. Os resultados apontam para a utilização de blogs na educação como complementação do material pedagógico e como incentivo à leitura, à escrita, à construção da argumentação e do posicionamento crítico, aproximando a escola da vida cotidiana dos estudantes
Intimate writing diaries represent a text of a confessional nature. They show personal narratives with specific characteristics of the genre, with dates, subjective marks, informal writing and colloquialism. For years they were written in notebooks and locked up and hidden by the authors so no one else would read them. Around the 80s, the adolescent planners came out. Using an industrially predefined model, the planners were filled out every day as a diary, but included new semiotic elements, such as photos, candy wraps, magazine clips, among others. They also differed in the presence of a participative reader: the texts were shared with friends, and notes and comments were written in the planner pages. With the arrival of the Internet, the diary and planner merged into the blog, which uses virtual resources to become an interactive, hypertext, and multimedia genre, emphasizing the reading and writing process for young blog producers. At the same time, writing is the major communication tool in the virtual environment, acquiring peculiar characteristics due to a faster communication and less typing. According to Bakthins theory on the discourse genres and Marcuschis digital genre concept, the purpose of this study is to perceive and bring out categories inherent to the diary and blog genres to analyze and compare them with the purpose of mapping a potential route for planners and blogs of teenagers, discussing the public-private contrast in intimate writing as well as their main linguistic features, noticing the advantages and disadvantages of their use as an auxiliary tool in the learning process of writing and reading in the Portuguese language. The study was motivated by the debate that digital writing can harm the development of text production of young adults, which was not observed, since the syntax structure is maintained and the variation occurs in the vocabulary, which doesnt interfere with communication. The results point at the use of blogs in education as a supplement to the learning material and as an incentive to reading, writing, building critical argumentation and standpoint, bringing the students closer to the daily school of life

Full textThe reduction of child and maternal mortality is universally accepted as a millennium development goal (MDG). Foreign aid for health is one of the means implemented to reach it. However, even if many successes of health aid activities have been underlined at the microeconomic level, the effectiveness of health aid in general remains unknown. In spite of many macroeconomic works on aid effectiveness on economic growth, only little deals with its effectiveness in health. The purpose of this thesis is precisely to assess the effectiveness of foreign aid in improving health measurements, at the macroeconomic level. I tried to explore the impact of health aid disbursed by the donors through the government and private sector on health outcomes like child, maternal and adult mortality rates in developing economies. The thesis examines the issue of foreign aid earmarked for health sector using a three-paper format. The three chapters of this thesis can be read independently

Full textIntroduction Cancer is a chronic disease ranked in an outstanding position. Patients compliance, attitudes and behavior have been frequently reported as a determining factor for the success of the therapy with oral antineoplastic drugs. Objectives Characterize oral antineoplastic therapy patients profiles; disease aspects and behavior, beliefs and perceptions with regard to the disease and the treatment. Population and Method Sixty-one patients diagnosed with cancer undergoing oral antineoplastic therapy in the out-patient unit of a private hospital in the city of São Paulo were studied. Assessment instruments applied were Morisky and Green Test, Health Locus of Control Scale and a questionnaire on factors that can interfere in drug treatment. P<0.05 values were considered statistically significant. Results Patients studied were 64% women, 54.8±15.6 years, 95% white, 74% married; 80% university graduated; 37% with monthly income between US$ 817.75 to US$ 1635.50; 29% worked on business and administrative activities, 34% had gastrointestinal cancer; 34% took Capecitabine; length of time of the disease was 37.1 ± 62.2 months; length of time of the treatment 14.4 ± 25.1 months; and length of time of oral antineoplastic therapy 8.6 ± 14.8 months. Morisky and Green Test was found to be positive in 28% of the patients and 25% stated having interrupted the treatment. In the Health Locus of Control (HLC) Scale, the scores of internal HLC (21.7±4.3) and powerful others externally HLC (22.5± 4.1) were similar. The lowest score was observed in the dimension of chance external HLC (16.5±6.0). Besides, patients reported few difficulties that can influence on their compliance with oral antineoplastic treatment. The following statistically significant (p<0.05) associations were observed: 1-Patients showing positive Morisky and Green test were longer under treatment in relation to the oral drug. Positive tests were observed in two patients using Mercaptopurine and in roughly one fourth, using Dexamethasona, Thalidomide and Hormonietherapics. 2-In Health Locus of Control Scale, men who did not undergo surgery, did not use to have a massage and with shorter time of disease and treatment were those who showed higher scores in Internal HLC. Patients with higher scores in the dimension of powerful others external HLC interrupted the treatment. Patients who showed higher scores in the dimension of Chance External HLC used oral antineoplastic drugs continuously and did not took part in religious rituals as other forms of treatment 3-The questionnaire that assessed aspects related to the treatment revealed that patients who showed more difficulties, were being treated with oral antineoplastic drugs for a longer time. Conclusions Patients showed positive attitudes regarding the treatment with oral antineoplastic drugs and reported few difficulties to lead with the therapy

The aim of this study is to psychometrically adapt the Preschool Language Screening-5 Spanish Screening Test (PLS-5 Spanish Screening Test) to identify children who require a deep language assesment so they can have a diagnosis and timely intervention. This investigation is of a quantitative approach, of a descriptive type and with a simple descriptive design. The Preschool Language Screening-5 Spanish Screening Adapted Test was applied to 134 children from 4 years to 5 years 11 months, from educational institutions of public and private management of the district of Santiago de Surco. The test went through an evaluation of judges, after the modification of the items to validate the changes made and the data obtained passed a statistical analysis to determine the reliability of the adapted test. It is concluded that the adapted version fulfills the characteristics of validity and reliability, increasing its effectiveness for the identification of children of 4 and 5 years of the district of Santiago de Surco at risk of having a difficulty in the development of language.

Full textThe aim of this research is to study the compositions written by students trying to get into the Administration course of a private university in Curitiba, Paraná. Some of these students will eventually take my courses Personal Development, which is taught in the first semester, and Interpersonal Development, which is taught in the second. Choosing these compositions instead of the ones written by first year undergraduates of the Administration course has to do with my desire to investigate the quality of the texts produced by students who had finished high school in 2007. By doing so we would be able to answer the following question: what kind of text producer has my college been receiving? The answers provided by this research will generate other questions: how can these students be helped? Hasn t the university mistakenly taken for granted that undergraduate students are proficient text writers? Do these students make spelling mistakes? Does their writing lack coherence? What kind of problems are there in these texts in relation to textual cohesion and discourse coherence in terms of the pragmatic context of argumentative/persuasive interaction between writer and reader? This research is grounded on qualitative methodology, for it aims at investigating the argumentative texts written by the students above mentioned. The theoretical approach we will draw upon is the Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), by Halliday (1985, 1994, 2004) and his coworkers. SFL sees language as a social process and it develops a methodology which allows a detailed and systematic description of linguistic patterns. The corpus used in this research is made up of 16 compositions whose quality was seen to be good enough for students to be accepted at the Administration course of the private university where I work
O presente estudo tem como objetivo examinar redações de vestibular produzidas por vestibulandos que aspiram ao curso de Administração de uma Faculdade particular sediada na cidade de Curitiba (PR), que futuramente serão meus alunos, na disciplina de Desenvolvimento Pessoal, no primeiro semestre do curso, e Desenvolvimento Interpessoal, no segundo semestre. A escolha das redações de vestibular e não de textos produzidos por alunos do Curso de Administração deveu-se a nossa curiosidade inicial em verificar a qualidade dos textos produzidos por alunos que terminaram o curso médio (2007). Propomos o seguinte questionamento: que tipo de produtor de texto recebe essa faculdade? Diante da realidade que esta pesquisa apontar, o que se deve proporcionar a esses alunos? Não haveria, da parte da faculdade, a tendência a julgar que o aluno universitário já tenha completa proficiência na escrita? Este aluno comente erros ortográficos? Incorre em incoerência, propondo um tema e desenvolvendo outro? Que tipo de falhas esses textos apresentam em termos de coesão textual e coerência discursiva, tendo em vista o contexto pragmático de interação argumentativa/persuasiva entre escritor e leitor? Metodologicamente, esta pesquisa está pautada na metodologia qualitativa, por se tratar de um estudo de textos argumentativos produzidos por alunos. O estudo fundamentou-se basicamente na Linguística Sistêmico-Funcional (LSF), de Halliday (1985, 1994, 2004) e seus colaboradores. A LSF procura desenvolver uma teoria sobre a língua como um processo social e uma metodologia que permita uma descrição detalhada e sistemática dos padrões linguísticos. O corpus desta pesquisa é composto de 16 redações, avaliadas como satisfatórias para fins de permitir o ingresso dos referidos alunos ao curso de Administração de Empresas na faculdade mencionada

Full textIt is very probable that VoIP will soon replace the ordinary telephone. Beside all advantages of the digital voice-connection it is linked to the danger of spam on the telephone. A lot of approaches have been developed to solve the problem of VoIP spam. Because some of these solutions are based on access to personal information of its users, a broad discussion about the best and most ethical approach has started.
This thesis analyzes the users’ point of view towards the VoIP spam problem and the extent of users’ willingness to offer private information in order to avoid VoIP spam. It presents results from a qualitative and a quantitative research as well as approaches for a most realistic- and most promising VoIP solution. These new approaches are based on the results of the research.
The main points of the results showed that users were not willing to offer private information to companies and that they were not willing to pay any amount of money for VoIP spam solutions. Users held governmental organisations and telephone operators responsible for finding a solution against VoIP spam.

Full textIntroduction: There are only a few studies that have explored the association between symptoms of social anxiety and symptoms of excessive use of internet. Objetive: To determine the relationship between the presence of symptoms of social anxiety and symptoms of internet dependence in university students from the second to fifth year of the human medicine career in 2018 at a private university in Lima, Peru. Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted with a population of 600 medical students 18 years old or older from 2nd to 5th year at a private university in the year 2018 in Lima, Peru. The outcome (symptoms of excessive use of the Internet) was measured with Young's Internet Addiction Test and was classified in three categories: absence of symptoms, mild symptoms and moderate to severe symptoms, whilst the exposure (symptoms of social anxiety) was measured with SIAS scale and was categorized in two: presence or absence of symptoms. For multivariate analysis, the multinomial logistic regression model was employed; the crude OR as well as the adjusted OR were calculated and a confidence interval of 95% was used. Results: 57.6% of total students were women and median age for both genders was 21 years with an interquartile range of 20 to 22 years. It was found that 51.2% of participants had symptoms of excessive use of internet; 27.8% corresponded to mild symptoms and 23.4% to moderate to severe symptoms. 20.5% of the students had symptoms of social anxiety. We found a strong association between symptoms of social anxiety and the symptoms of excessive use of Internet (p<0.001). Discussion and Conclusions: Students with symptoms of social anxiety were more likely to have symptoms of excessive use of internet. Nevertheless, longitudinal studies are recommended in order to verify the persistence of the results over time.

Full textFundamental rights put private international law to the test. First, the context in which private international law operates has evolved. Fundamental rights have created a better, closer, intertwining of the separate state legal orders and have achieved a higher protection for the persons as they experience international mobility. If this evolution does not threaten, as such, the existence of private international law, it must be acknowledged that fundamental rights modify its analysis. Whereas the conflicts between legal orders are transformed into conflicts between values, the hierarchy of interests protected by private international law is replaced by a balancing of these interests. The solutions of private international law are thus disrupted by the enforcement of fundamental rights through litigation. Proportionality is at the source of this disruption. Being a case by case technique of enforcement of fundamental rights, the influence of the proportionality test on private international is uneven. If the proportionality test is found to be overall indifferent to the methods of private international law, its main impact is on the solutions of PIL. The European courts are indeed prone to favour the continuity in the legal situations of the persons, over the defence of the internal cohesion of the state legal orders. As a consequence, private international law is invited to reach liberal solutions. The enforcement of fundamental rights through litigation must hence be clarified so as to maintain a mesure of authority and predictability of the solutions of the rules of conflict of laws, international jurisdiction and recognition of foreign judgements. It is, on the one hand, by methodologically dissociating the enforcement of fundamental rights from the public policy exception and, on the other hand, through an amendment to the proportionality test, that the balance of private international may hopefully be restored

This research aims at investigating how an English for Specific Purpose one-to-one course, mainly focused on the speaking skill, meets the students learning needs and prepares them to take the TOEFL iBT test (Test of English as a Foreign Language Internet-based Test). The study is grounded on the theoretical principles about English for Specific Purposes as supported by Hutchinson and Waters (1987); Dudley-Evans and St. John (1998); Ramos (2004, 2009); Belcher (2009); Basturkmen (2010); needs analysis according to Hutchinson and Waters (1987); Dudley-Evans and ST.

Methodologically, this research is considered a case study (STAKE, 1998; JOHNSON, 1992), and it made use of the following instruments for data collection: questionnaires in the beginning of the course to identify the students profiles, and at the end of the course to learn about the students perceptions as to their progress; audio recording of two speaking tasks on the first and last day of class; teacher-researcher s diaries at the end of every class containing the students perceptions of their performance in class. The results revealed the students satisfaction regarding the course methodology and material, as well as the perception of reading and listening skills improvement. It was interesting to note that, although the main focus of the course was on the speaking skill, the perception of improvement of the writing skill was higher than that of the speaking skill. The students narratives also indicated the importance of teacher-student interaction and praised the attention given by the teacher to their emotional aspects. This work aims at bringing contributions not only to ESP course teachers and to those who work with language assessment, but also to the research field as it lacks studies related to the speaking skill and private classes
Este trabalho tem por objetivo investigar como um curso de Inglês para Fins Específicos, com priorização na produção oral, realizado por meio de aulas particulares, atende as necessidades de aprendizagem de alunos e os capacita a prestar o exame TOEFL iBT (Test of English as a Foreign Language Internet-based Test). O referencial teórico englobou os conceitos sobre Inglês para Fins Específicos de acordo com Hutchinson e Waters (1987); Dudley-Evans e St. John (1998); Ramos (2004, 2009); Belcher (2009); Basturkmen (2010); análise de necessidades conforme proposto por Hutchinson e Waters (1987); Dudley-Evans e ST.

Este trabalho, caracterizado como estudo de caso (STAKE, 1998; JOHNSON, 1992), utilizou para coleta de dados os seguintes instrumentos: questionários no início do curso para investigar o perfil do aluno, e ao final do curso, para identificar as percepções dos alunos quanto a seu progresso; gravação em áudio no primeiro e no último dia de aula de duas tarefas de produção oral; diários da professora-pesquisadora ao final de cada aula com as percepções do aluno referente ao desempenho em aula. Os resultados revelaram a satisfação dos alunos quanto à metodologia e material didático empregados no curso e a percepção da melhora na compreensão oral e escrita. Foi interessante notar que, embora o curso tivesse mantido o foco principal na produção oral, a percepção de melhora da produção escrita foi superior à melhora da produção oral. Os relatos dos alunos também indicaram a importância da interação professora-aluno e a atenção dada pela professora ao aspecto emocional dos alunos para essa percepção de melhora. Este trabalho pretende trazer contribuições não só para aqueles que lecionam em cursos de Inglês para Fins Específicos e trabalham com avaliações de língua, mas também para o campo de estudos por ser este ainda carente de pesquisas sobre aulas particulares e produção oral

Full textThe concepts of public policy and overriding mandatory rules are to be found within the vocabulary of the general theory of conflict of laws. It is legitimate to ask whether this statement of principle can be illustrated by a French-Mexican comparison. The relevance of such a comparison may seem doubtful, given France's participation in a more or less unifying process, due to its membership of the European Union; whereas Mexico, on the other hand, is organized around a "federal pact". However, the comparison remains relevant as we can observe that the relationship between the nation-state and private international law inexorably passes through the prism of sovereignty and that France and Mexico remain masters of their sovereignty at the international level. This analysis is made possible thanks to the existence of a common historical background and a common legal culture, contractual matters are specifically targeted due to their high level of sensitivity to the influence of public policy. However, private international law has evolved since the identification and construction of the broad categories of the public policy and overriding mandatory rules, which have led to a number of developments whose orientation will have to be verified. These specification elements as multiple as they are varied, such as fundamental rights, protection of the weaker party, constitutional review and proportionality, among others, renders this study an opportunity to highlight the evolving nature of mechanisms related to public policy in international private contract law

Full textPHD DISSERTATION - ABSTRACT - THE ASCERTAINMENT OF MEDICAL MALPRACTICE THROUGH CLINICAL PRACTICE GUIDELINES AND OTHER SCIENTIFIC DOCUMENTS. This PhD dissertation aims to analyze a specific aspect of Medical Malpractice Law: the use of scientific documents – known as practice parameters, practice patterns, written policies, protocols, standards or clinical practice guidelines – by rule makers (legislators and Courts) in order to identify the standard of care for health care practitioners. In the first chapter, after a short introduction on fundamental notions of medical epistemology, guidelines’ content and their production, some interactions between Science and Law are described, picking the European Union Law, Council of Europe Law and finally Italian Law. Research on guidelines and Medical Malpractice calls for taking the advantage of Comparative Legal Studies. In particular, the legal system of the United States of America has been chosen. This because American scholars have first proposed in the ‘80s to use guidelines in Medical Malpractice trials. The second chapter offers thus a detailed picture of the sources of the law, including the role of state and federal Courts in making American Law. Focusing then on Medical Malpractice, it has to be said that the majority of the States adopted medical custom as the standard of care, which is a matter of fact, to be proven in front of the jury. According to this, in Medical Malpractice trials expert witness testimony about medical custom became very relevant, but no Court in the U.S. appoints experts. This, and the fact that the plaintiff retains the burden of proof of the breach of duty, makes partisan expert testimony mandatory for the claim of the patient to be heard by the jury. Therefore, Courts and scholars in the United States put guidelines in the Evidence Law frame, looking at how they interact – or sometimes clash – with expert testimonies. So, the chapter ends with an analysis of the Law of Evidence, with a focus on the so called “Daubert test” on expert witnesses, and one on the admissibility of documents. The third chapter demonstrates that the use of clinical practice guidelines in Medical Malpractice trials is way more frequent than American scholars think. Furthermore, it shows that the above-mentioned rules of Evidence are still the most relevant source of the law governing admissibility and relevance of these documents. Evidence Law indeed is far more relevant than the small number of state and federal statutes on Medical Malpractice that mention guidelines as a judicial tool for assessing liability. But these statutes seem to have inspired the Italian legislator seems adopting the so called “decreto Balduzzi” (see art. 3, comma 1 d.l. n. 158 of 2012 – l. n. 189 of 2012). The fourth chapter goes back to the Italian legal system, describing the path that brought Medical Malpractice from Tort Law to Contract Law through the so called “contatto sociale” doctrine. Furthermore, the case law caused some distortions of the rules that are now similar to strict liability. The fifth chapter describes a legal transplant from American Tort Law to the very different Italian legal environment: the idea of giving a defense to doctors who complied with clinical practice guidelines. Anyhow, some American state statutes, not the prevailing traditional Evidence Law pattern, have influenced the Italian legislator. Moreover, the conceptual framing of clinical practice guidelines under Italian Law is very different from the original. In Italy, Medical Malpractice is a branch of Contract Law, according to which the clinician is bound to perform treatments with the due technical expertise (“perizia”). Scientific documents can help Courts to define doctor’s behavior as coping with technical expertise, which is a matter of law. Guidelines cannot prove any fact. Therefore, they are not related to Evidence Law. The core of this PhD dissertation is that Italian Courts have to take judicial notice of clinical practice guidelines in Medical Malpractice trials. This comes out of the “iura novit curia” principle (“The Court must know the law” principle) and art. 3, co. 1 of decreto Balduzzi, which explicitly talks about clinical practice guidelines and iatrogenic injuries. The above-mentioned scientific documents have also to pass muster under a test of applicability to the case and scientific validity. This dissertation suggests taking the advantage of the American experience, in particular of the so called “Daubert doctrine”. However, even this would be a legal transplant, in which the original model would be surely modified, as this work shows. Finally, the fifth chapter describes how Cassazione Court could reverse lower Courts’ decisions that apply clinical practice guidelines in Medical Malpractice cases.

The purpose of this study is to compare the equality of two secret values. Secure multiparty computation in the previous study, usually through the protocol the two sides, the one is announcer and the other one be told. The one be told by the announcer who notified the results of verification, and the one be told only can believe that the message. Through the semi-honest party can solve by the above problems and reduce the computation required, but you can find a trusted third party is not easy. Based on the above problems, this study proposed in the framework of both the secret of a new calculation of protocol, in this protocol the two parties (the one is announcer, the other one be told) can calculate each have a secret are equal or not. If different, this protocol does not leak any information about the secret value.

In the era of cloud computing, the cloud server always plays a significant role to carry the heavy tasks of computation. As for storage services, it provides an efficient way to accessing data. For data privacy, encryption is usually referred to as the simple approach, but in fact cloud services cannot work with the traditional encryption. However, outsourced computing over encrypted data receives a lot attention of preserving privacy in the cloud setting. In the literature, lots of cryptographic primitives (i.e., homomorphic encryption, searchable encryption, encryption with equality test) have tackled a few cloud applications for preserving privacy and accessing encrypted data, and those require perfect match with query and data. A relaxed notion comparing with perfect match is similarity over encrypted data. Privacy-preserving outsourced similarity test (PPOS) over encrypted data is introduced to satisfy the following scenario. The cloud stores encrypted data with the encrypted feature vector, and then picks up the target data by testing similarity between those vectors and the search query. Recently, Zhang et al. proposed a PPOS scheme based on additive homomorphic encryption, garbled circuits, and ciphertext-policy attribute based encryption. In this thesis, we aim for presenting the formal security model and new scheme of PPOS. At first, we provide a formal definition to capture simulation security for PPOS against the semi-honest adversary. Secondly, we would like to use as few primitives as possible to minimize hardness assumptions in cryptography. Our solution is to avoid using homomorphic encryption to construct the proposed scheme simply from garbled circuits and ciphertext-policy attribute based encryption. However, there is a challenge that the security of garbled circuits cannot be directly applied to prove the security of the proposed scheme. Finally, we decouple the garbled circuit into many components of chosen double encryption, and then complete the security proof by using the security of chosen double encryption.

This thesis focuses on the HIV patients and minors of medical privacy issues, especially focuses on the partner notification of the HIV patients, and may minors conduct medical care without parental consent. Society often tags a stigmatized label on AIDS, so AIDS patients in employment, medical care and even other relevant social links relatively have many difficulties, also because society generates a lot of misunderstandings and disgust cognitive on AIDS, so that medical privacy of AIDS patients is particularly important . Medical staff look after HIV patients, should uphold the obligation of confidentiality to safeguard the interests of the patients , or should they violate the obligation of confidentiality so that it could avoid third party being affected? Or should medical units collect medical information of HIV patients in order to take into account of the public interest? Although there are no partner notification laws in our country, but it is clear that the HIV patient's own obligation to inform their spouses or sexual partners, as to whether should the role of medical staff also have to informed the third party? Therefore, in this thesis cited journals and statute, the partner notification of Maryland or Michigan described in the Act clarify that doctors are not necessarily play the roles of informed patients, states imposed duty on doctors also have varying degrees. Whether can mature minors consent to medical care independently? Taiwan society has long-term focused on the controversial discussion. In our country, the regulations did not stipulate perfectly like U.S that discussed every situation, so this thesis also refers to the foreign journals, whether minors can make autonomous consent or not, making a series of discussion.

Full textThe texts produced in our society are so varied that people interact constantly. In view of this diversity, we chose to address a wide circulation of gender in the social sphere: the propaganda, and analyze the effects of advertising discourse on the critical training of students of the 3rd year of high school in the public school Rodoval Borges Silva and private school group Constructive perspective, located in the municipality of Santana, in order to elucidate the theoretical debate that raises the question of traditional teaching methods with new forms of knowledge, as the advertising is present through numerous carriers, either in print (newspapers , magazines, posters, leaflets, flyers) or the electronic (film, television, internet). Furthermore, to be better understood the context, it was important to check how the educational institutions together with teachers were organized and worked the formation of proficient readers, to streamline and enhance the Portuguese language classes in real communication situations and social uses. From this point of view, before we raised questions through our comparative study by the theme - The advertising discourse in public and private schools - found (through analysis of interviews with principals , teachers and pedagogues and the application of questionnaires to students ) that the propaganda genre is not included in the formal curriculum as a cultural production and the teachers who use the advertising discourse are individually predominate in the formal aspects of language, the participants of our dissertation schools. Thus, in order to work with this genre, it was to see how the students were relating to the linguistic diversity of the modern world and that the critical position in power relations and ideologies present in the same. In this sense, the students of the private network to have more contact with advertising texts, at times, had a more critical and proficient approach based on the proposed questionnaires. In addition, it is intended with this work, possibilities of transforming just traditional pedagogy in pedagogy of social dynamics, providing overcoming superficial and linear readings and collaborate with relevant research in the area of education learning, and to renew the ideas of a new way of designing and working language in the classroom. In order to sensitize teachers, for this type of text, has planned is a workshop for each school.

Traditionally, information value of analysts’ recommendations has been well-recognized by cumulative abnormal returns. Recent studies show that individuals are underperformed, and therefore, it is a critical issue on if analysts’ recommendations are helpful to individuals’ welfares. The first contribution of this dissertation to the literature is to examine whether individual investors are capable of capturing the information value. To classify the information value of recommendations for individuals and institutions, respectively, I, thus, use a direct measure to calculate the actual trading profits of types of traders. To our best knowledge, this is the first paper that demonstrates the information value for types of investors. Our results indicate that, all investors get positive and significant profits in brokerages’ buy recommendations, no matter what types of investors are measured. As to sell recommendations, only foreign investors and mutual funds have positive returns. We also find that professional institutions earn more profits than retail investors during the recommendation event periods. Further, the second objective of this dissertation is to test whether the information values are caused by private information from brokerages’ houses, we separate the profits of types of investors into customers and non-customers based. The findings are that only domestic institutional customers of recommending brokerages are more beneficial than those of non-recommending brokerages in buy recommendations, which implies that brokerage houses may reveal private information to their own institutional customers before buy recommendations make public. This does not hold for sell recommendations. Third, we are interested in analyzing whether the private information that recommending brokerages provide to their own customers may, indeed, contribute to brokerages’ commission revenues. By comparing the trading volume of recommending brokerages and non-recommending brokerage for the covered stocks, we find that the volumes of covered stocks issued in the recommending brokerages are increased for buy recommendations. Particularly, we find that the main contribution of trading volume is from individuals. Furthermore, we run regressions to study the relationship between trading profits of types of investors and trading volume of recommending brokerages. After controlling recommendation types, consensus rating of recommendations, and stock characteristics, our results indicate that trading profits of all types of investors are positively related to commission revenues of brokerages. This may justify the importance of brokerage recommendations on their business relationships.
