Texte intégralThe National Program of Student Assistance (PNAES) aims to extend the conditions of permanence of speeches in the federal public higher education. The objective of the research of this work is to evaluate the effectiveness of the PNAES to answer a question if the PNAES was a success or failure at the Federal University of Alfenas (UNIFAL-MG), from 2014 to 2016. For this, of relative avoidance and replication index, which compare the proportion of avoidance and disapproval among students not assisted and assisted by the PNAES. The results of the indices are used to evaluate the effectiveness of the PNAES. The evaluation process followed a logical framework structure that details the PNAES in product, activities, objectives and purpose. In addition, it was used as a multiple correspondence analysis technique to analyze other variables linked to students' permanence beyond student assistance. The specific objectives of the research are: 1) to elaborate the relative rejection index and the relative avoidance index, to measure the results of the PNAES; 2) to apply the assessment tool, called the Logical Framework, to guide an evaluation of the effectiveness of the NAPA in UNIFAL-MG; and 3) to analyze other variables possibly associated with the permanence of students in UNIFAL-MG, in addition to the student's actions, such as the non-compulsory internship and research, monitoring and extension activities. An evaluation of the effectiveness of incoming students was carried out in the first and second semesters of 2014. I found that it is not a participant of all courses, since in the semesters the students assisted were evaded in equal or lesser proportion than the unassisted students. With regard to failure, the PNAES was effective in 64% of the courses analyzed in 1/2014 and in approximately 66% of the courses analyzed in 2 / 2014. It was concluded that the PNAES was a success for the period analyzed with However, with a caveat of the courses that need studies to raise the pairs of student disapprovals. The application of the technique of multiple correspondence analysis makes it possible to raise the hypothesis: that as research, monitoring and extension activities are associated to the stay of incoming students in the period between 1º / 2014 until 1º / 2016, an association that can not be applied with for non-compulsory students entering the 1st / 2015 and the 1st / 2016.

O Departamento de Polícia Federal, em particular sua Diretoria Técnico-Científica, tem buscado adotar ferramentas modernas de administração para a melhoria da eficiência de seus processos, dentre as quais o uso de indicadores de desempenho. No caso específico da Criminalística, cuja gestão está a cargo daquela diretoria, ainda faltam estudos básicos que permitam conhecer os processos que lá se desencadeiam, para então serem adotados indicadores confiáveis e de fácil compreensão. Nessa direção, um dos primeiros passos é conhecer o tempo que cada processo demora, dadas suas características. Neste trabalho são utilizadas técnicas estatísticas para extrair da base de dados existente na Diretoria Técnico-Científica esta informação. Com a obtenção dessas informações é possível propor indicadores de desempenho adequados e de fácil acompanhamento, permitindo então aos gestores verificar o resultado efetivo de ações e decisões gerenciais.
The Brazilian Federal Police Department, through its Technical-Scientific Board, has been using modern administration tools in order to increase its processes efficiency, including performance indicators. The Criminalistics area, whose management is in charge of that board, still misses basic studies which allow the knowledge of its processes, for only then adopt reliable and easy performance indicators. In this direction, one important step is to have a realistic approach of the time that each process consumes, given its characteristics. In this work statistical techniques are used to extract this information from the databases available. With this information in hand, it is possible to propose adequate and easy to adopt performance indicators, which will allow the managers to check the result of managerial actions and decisions.

CAPEs
Sendo os acidentes de trânsito um problema mundial, este estudo descreve e analisa os acidentes ocorridos nas rodovias federais do estado de Pernambuco, entre os anos 2007-2012. Para a análise dos resultados, utilizou-se como opções metodológicas a análise descritiva e exploratória, através da análise de correspondência simples e múltipla. Diante das análises exploratórias, deseja-se ampliar o conhecimento sobre as associações e configurações das ocorrências e de seus fatores envolvidos, traçando os perfis dos acidentes e dos condutores dos veículos. Entre os principais resultados encontrados, identificou-se que a BR-101 é a rodovia federal com maior número de acidentes no estado de Pernambuco, cerca de 45% do total de ocorrências. Além disso, os acidentes na rodovia transversal BR-104 mostraram-se fortemente relacionados com as ultrapassagens indevidas. Identificou-se o perfil do jovem, solteiro, do sexo masculino que ingeriu álcool, com nível médio de escolaridade que sofreu lesões graves, como um dos perfis que melhor explicam os condutores envolvidos nos acidentes nas rodovias federais pernambucanas. Os resultados evidenciaram, também, os principais perfis dos acidentes, entre eles estão as colisões laterais e traseiras, ocorridas na BR-101, pela manhã, ocasionadas por falta de atenção e por não guardar distancia de segurança. Portanto, as análises descritivas e exploratórias trazem mais compreensão acerca dos acidentes. Espera-se que este estudo seja visto como uma fonte de consulta do panorama da acidentalidade no estado de Pernambuco, e que seus resultados norteiem ações adequadas do poder público e da sociedade em geral, a fim de prevenir e mitigar os transtornos causados pelos acidentes.
Since traffic accidents are a global problem, this present study describes and analyzes the accidents that occurred on Federal highways, in Pernambuco state, between the years 2007- 2012. In an effort to analyze the results, it was used as methodological options the descriptive and exploratory analysis, by the simple and multiple correspondence analysis. Given the exploratory analysis, it is needed to learn more about the associations and set of the occurred accidents, as well as its causes involved, mapping the profiles of accidents and drivers of vehicles involved. Among the main results found, the BR-101 is the Federal highway with the greatest number of accidents in the state of Pernambuco, it is about 45% of the total events. In addition, the accidents on the BR-104 cross highway showed strongly related to the undue overtaking. The identified profile as young, single, male, who has ingested alcoholic beverage, who is high school level and has suffered severe injuries is the one who best explains drivers involved in accidents in the Federal highways of Pernambuco. The results showed the main accident particulars as well: side and rear collisions, occurred on the BR-101, in the morning, due to the lack of attention and by not keeping safety distance. Therefore, the descriptive and exploratory analysis bring more comprehension upon the accidents. It is expected to this study to be seen as an inquiry source by the accident rate prospect in Pernambuco state, and its results to guide government and society to appropriate actions in order to prevent and mitigate the issues caused by these accidents.

At the beginning of 2007, the Subprime Mortgage Crisis broke out in the U.S. and spread across the global financial market at an amazing speed, and we know it still has the great influence on the world''s economy nowadays. The crisis stemmed from the subprime loan market. This paper aims to figure out that why the financial products triggered such a severe crisis. What is the fundamental reason for the crisis? What is the linkage between the Federal Reserve and the crisis. Firstly, this author reviewed the course of the Subprime Mortgage Crisis and analyzed it from the financial environment before it occurred, and explained some related incidents and timeframes. Finally author discussed the U.S. government''s policies. There are four major points in this paper:financial monetary speculation, mistaken Fed''s policies, incomplete financial regulations and inaccurate credit rating agencies and system. In conclusion, the author defined the reasons of the crisis based on the research framework and also hoped to prevent the financial crisis from happening again. The author recommends that the financial regulatory structure and the monetary authority in the U.S. be reformed. The author concluded that the optimal choice would be to grant more regulatory power and policy tools to the Fed, and thereby create sound financial environment. Furthermore, Fed’s ultimate mandate is to prevent financial crisis and to provide the macro-management support for the U.S. economy.

Texte intégralThe research field of the master's thesis is in Knowledge Management (hereinafter: KM). During the last few years, KM becomes one of the essential factors for the successful business and companies are becoming more knowledge-based, and they are focusing more on the people's 'minds' rather than their 'hands' to fulfil the need to knowledge (Wong, 2005). The main focus of this study is in success factors of KM having in consideration that Small and Medium Enterprises (hereinafter: SMEs) have fewer resources and opportunities, both human and financial (Farvaque & Voss, 2009). This research is about the main factors of KM that plays a successful role in SMEs in the United Arab Emirates (hereinafter: UAE), Qatar & Pakistan. SMEs in the manufacturing and services sector have taken under study to evaluate the success factors of KM implementation. To implement the KM in the organization can be hard for those who are not ready to accept the change in the organizational structure but with the implementation of KM they can survive, grow and maintain the sustainable competitive advantage (Antoncic & Omerzel, 2008). The research itself is focused on information and manufacturing SMEs sector keeping in mind that it's a service industry, e.g., where both, computer and human resources interaction are visible, and the industry has involved with many stakeholders.

The accountants at the Bureau of Accounting & Statistics of Kaohsiung City Government are employees of the government but being assigned to other units due to the business necessity. Owing to their main job function-neutral supervising, these accountants are facing dual managerial systems, and some conflicts from both their role-plays and lobbyists as well. This thesis is to study further about the job satisfaction of these accountants under such a special working environment. Research variables include organizational commitment to the Bureau of Accounting & Statistics, organizational commitment to the assigned units, role conflict, job characteristics, job satisfaction and lobbying. Among them, while role conflict is acting as a mediating variable, both commitments which consist of affective, continuous and normative dimensions, lobbying and job characteristics are the independent variables and job satisfaction which includes internal, external and general satisfaction is the dependent variable. The results of this research indicate as follows: (1) For the organizational commitment to the Bureau of Accounting & Statistics, males have higher affective commitment and normative commitment than females. Managerial levels have higher affective commitment and continuous commitment than non-managerial levels. (2) For the organizational commitment to the assigned units, males have higher affection commitment than females. Accountants whose education background at the high-school or vocational-school level have higher affective commitment than those who are bachelors. Nevertheless, education level shows a significant difference on normative commitment, however, there''s no significant difference between the two groups under Scheffe test. (3) Both affective and normative commitments to the Bureau of Accounting & Statistics are highly negatively correlated with those to the assigned units. In addition, job characteristic is significantly positively correlated with organizational commitment and job satisfaction, but negatively correlated with role conflict. (4) Lobbying has positive correlation with role conflict. (5) Accountants who have higher continuous commitments both to the Bureau of Accounting & Statistics and the assigned units feel more discordant in assigned units. (6) The normative commitments both to the Bureau of Accounting & Statistics and the assigned units are in proportion to the external satisfaction. The affective commitment to the assigned units is correlated with the internal satisfaction. Besides, either affective or normative commitment to the assigned units has a direct effect on the general satisfaction. (7) While role conflict is acting as a mediating variable, both job characteristics and lobbying are correlated with job satisfaction.
McCarthy, Christabel. « Investigating the use of dasymetric techniques for assessing employment containment in Melbourne, Australia ». Master's thesis, 2012. http://hdl.handle.net/10362/8307.
Texte intégralThis project studies employment containment in Melbourne, Australia. Employment containment is a measure of the proportion of people that work in a location close to their home. Recent urban planning policies in Melbourne have aimed to improve employment containment in the city’s suburbs. While there has been analysis of the rates at which people both live and work within broadly defined ‘local areas’, little work has been done to investigate employment containment using smaller and more uniform catchment areas as the unit of analysis. This research attempts such a finer scale analysis using dasymetric downscaling techniques. A regression modelling approach supported by land use data, alongside a binary dasymetric method, is used to develop fine scale estimates of employment distribution, while binary and populationdensity weighted methods are used to develop a fine scale estimate of working population distribution. For the employment distribution estimate, the Poisson model that distributed employment to employment-related land use classes produced the smallest error. However, the error produced by this model is still high. For the working population distribution estimate, the population-density weighted estimate is the more accurate of the approaches, and overall produced low error. For the employment containment analysis, a number of employment centres were randomly selected and an employment containment catchment has been derived from a 5 km2 commuting distance catchment. Commuting flows from an origin-destination matrix were areaweighted to estimate flows into the employment centre from the 5 km2 catchment. The method is found to be potentially useful; however inspecting the results of this employment containment calculation highlighted flaws in the current estimates that should be addressed before the measures can be used to further analyse employment containment in Melbourne. Improvements to this method would support urban strategic and transport planning analyses at a metropolitan-wide scale.

Texte intégralA sizeable body of research has attempted to examine the interaction between government spending and private giving known as the crowd-out effect. Most researchers reported that increases of government spending cause decreases of philanthropic giving to different types of nonprofits. However, few studies have attempted to indicate the interaction between government welfare expenditures and private giving to human service organizations even though human service organizations are the most sensitive to the changes of government spending. Additionally, the estimated crowd-out effects with a simple crowd-out model have been criticized for potential endogeneity bias. This paper investigates the total effect of federal government welfare spending on state government expenditures and philanthropic giving to human service organizations (known as joint crowd-out). I used the 2005 wave of the Center on Philanthropy Panel Study (COPPS) to estimate the effect of federal human service grants on state government spending on, and donations to human services. From these reduced-form estimates I infer the levels of simple and joint crowd-out. I found that indicate federal spending on public welfare crowds out private giving to human service organizations while holding control variables constant in the donations equation. However, federal government spending on public welfare crowds in state government spending on public welfare.

Texte intégralIdentifying spatial and temporal patterns of disease occurrence by mapping the residential locations of affected people can provide information that informs response by public health practitioners and improves understanding in epidemiological research. A common method of locating patients at the individual level is geocoding residential addresses stored in electronic medical records (EMRs) using address matching procedures in a geographic information system (GIS). While the process of geocoding is becoming more common in public health studies, few researchers take the time to examine the effects of using different address databases on match rate and positional accuracy of the geocoded results. This research examined and compared accuracy and match rate resulting from four commonly-used geocoding databases applied to sample of 59,341 subjects residing in and around Marion County/ Indianapolis, IN. The results are intended to inform researchers on the benefits and downsides to their selection of a database to geocode patient addresses in EMRs.
Maxey, Hannah L. « Understanding the Influence of State Policy Environment on Dental Service Availability, Access, and Oral Health in America's Underserved Communities ». Thesis, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/1805/5993.
Texte intégralOral health is crucial to overall health and a focus of the U.S. Health Center program, which provides preventive dental services in medically underserved communities. Dental hygiene is an oral health profession whose practice is focused on dental disease prevention and oral health promotion. Variations in the practice and regulation of dental hygiene has been demonstrated to influence access to dental care at a state level; restrictive policies are associated lower rates of access to care. Understanding whether and to what extent policy variations affect availability and access to dental care and the oral health of medically underserved communities served by grantees of the U.S. Health Center program is the focus of this study. This longitudinal study examines dental service utilization at 1,135 health center grantees that received community health center funding from 2004 to 2011. The Dental Hygiene Professional Practice Index (DHPPI) was used as an indicator of the state policy environment. The influence of grantee and state level characteristics are also considered. Mixed effects models were used to account for correlations introduced by the multiple hierarchical structure of the data. Key findings of this study demonstrate that state policy environment is a predictor of the availability and access to dental care and the oral health status of medically underserved communities that received care at a grantee of the U.S. Health Center program. Grantees located in states with highly restrictive policy environments were 73% less likely to deliver dental services and, those that do, provided care to 7% fewer patients than those grantees located in states with the most supportive policy environments. Population’s served by grantees from the most restrictive states received less preventive care and had greater restorative and emergency dental care needs. State policy environment is a predictor of availability and access to dental care and the oral health status of medically underserved communities. This study has important implications for policy at the federal, state, and local levels. Findings demonstrate the need for policy and advocacy efforts at all levels, especially within states with restrictive policy environments.
