Texte intégralRésumé :
Strikes are a key tool for workers to achieve their demands against their counterparties. The right to strike for workers in the private sector was incorporated in law in 1938. The situation was different for public sector employees in the 20th century regarding the right to strike, salaries were decided by law. According to law from 1915 public sector employees were not allowed to go on strike. In 1976 civil servants were granted the right to strike regarding the main collective agreement and majority of public sector employees were authorized by law the right to strikes in 1986. This study presents strikes of the public sector employees i.e. employees of the state and local government from the year 1977 and shed light on the main reasons for the strike activities in the public sector. Since 1977 there have been 1.974.699 days lost due to industrial conflict in Iceland, whereof 932.102 or 47,7% are because of public sector strikes. Therefore public sector employees in Iceland, who are only 20% of the active labour market constitutes for almost half of all days lost due to strikes in Iceland. To get a comparison between strike frequency between the public and private sector strike volume was calculated. The strike volume shows the number of lost working days per 1,000 employees. The paper brings into light the main explanatory factors of the high strike frequency among public sector employees and discusses ways that can reduce the industrial conflict in the public sector. Some relate to the laws and regulations, other concern the industrial relations between the parties as well as collective bargaining arrangements.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This paper describes the limitations on the constitutional right to strike that apply to public employees in France. While recognizing the right to strike for all salaried workers, whether employed in the private or public sector, the Preamble to the 1946 Constitution, incorporated by reference into the present Constitution, allows for limitations being imposed on that right by statute. Indeed, specific legislation has either prohibited or limited the right to strike for various classes of public employees. This has been held constitutionally valid insofar as the statutory bar or restriction is required to prevent essential functions of the State from being interrupted or to ensure that the vital needs of the country are being provided for. Even where no specific restrictive legislation applies, strikes by the staff of « public services » — including not only central and local government employees, but also employees of major nationalized industries, institutions such as hospitals, and even private undertakings providing some public utility or service — are subject, under the Labour Code, to a number of restrictions. In particular, five days' notice of the strike must be given by a representative union. And certains forms of striking, such as rotating strikes, are prohibited. In addition, the employer authority may, under the doctrine of « essential services », make administrative regulations identifying which units or staff positions are considered essential. These regulations are subject to review by the administrative courts on the basis that the constitutional right to strike may only be curtailed insofar as is needed to preserve State authority and security or the safety of the public.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The national and international have endorsed the act of striking as a basic common right that is carte blanche but confined to local laws and regulations. The issue, however, has been an area of controversy; a number of countries have been diverse in their stance in terms of banning such an act or legalize I. Jordan is one of the countries which ban the public-sector employee to strike in order to ensure the public facilities and services necessary fir the citizen’s daily-life activities and needs, noting that this ban in exempted from the private-sector employees in accordance to the labour law.
So many legislators have highlighted the right and obligations of the pubic-sector employee, focusing the attention on his right in striking to a great extent that might expose his right to be confined in case of a conflict with the principle of public utility. Over history, many countries have been legitimizing the right of striking for the public-sector employees because of several reasons. First, conducting a strike might be harmful for the stream of public utitlity. In addition, this act represents in a way one of the vital features of the state’s sovereignty.
Despite the fact that many countries have joined the international conventions that ensure the public-sector employee, known as public official, in striking, the Jordanian legislator has not exercised this right on real grounds in the space of the employee’s profession, but he has been satisfied with the words that ban employees to strike as documented in the Civil Service Regulations. The legislator considers striking as any illegal conduct resulting in dangerous consequences and disruption in the public utility regularly and steadily.
This study will tackle the legitimacy of the public-sector employees in the Jordanian law. The attention will be focused on the Jordanian teachers;’ strike as a study case with reference to the Jordanian Constitution, including the relevant bylaws and regulations, the provisions of Jordanian courts like the Constitutional Court of Jordan and the Supreme Administrative Court of Jordan.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The nature of the limitations to the right to strike in essential and public services in the nine sub-regional countries of Southern Africa – South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia, Swaziland, Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia and Zimbabwe – is examined in this contribution. While all of these countries share common influences and face common challenges, there appears to be a vast disparity in the approaches taken to the right to strike in public and essential services in the region. A brief overview of the demographics and labour markets in the countries under discussion is sketched, the salient features of the ILO's approach to strike in essential and public services is highlighted, and a broad overview of the contrasting and disparate approaches to essential and public services in the region is provided. The focus is, however, on the legislative approach taken to essential service employees in South Africa. It is concluded that – with the exception of South Africa and Namibia – the limitations to the right to strike of public sector employees exceed those endorsed by international conventions, and the broad definition of essential services generally relied upon effectively results in an outright ban of public sector strikes in the sub-region.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Employer-employee relations in the Federal Public Service of Canada entered a new era with the proclamation on March 13, 1967, of three Acts— The Public Service Staff Relations Act ; The Public Service Employment Act ; and anAct to Amend the Financial Administration Act. The employees have been guaranteed the right to organize, the right to bargain, the right to strike and the right to get grievances adjudicated by an independent tribunal. The statutory right to grieve and get the grievances adjudicated have provided to the federal public employees a sense of justice and « fairplay ». The adjudication system has made the private sector of industrial jurisprudence applicable to the federal public services with a remarkable success. This article deals with the function and operation of the statutory Grievance Process and Adjudication.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Strike has become one of the most effective tools used by workers to drive home their demands and the intensity of this varies from one sector to another. Therefore, the objective of this study is to investigate strike proneness and why public sector industries are more strike prone in Nigeria. The study takes an exploratory approach by reviewing extant literatures as a focal point of analysis to determine the extent of strike intensity among industries in the public sectors with a view towards drawing up relevant justifications. The findings of the study shows that in comparison with other sectors, education as sub sector of public sector are more strike prone and the reason generally for public sector strike proneness is because government is the highest employer of labour as well as the umpire ensuing the behaviour of an employer and at the same time involve in the regulatory framework that guides the employment relations between the employer and employees in the private and public sector which often leads to unilateral decisions in the face of collective bargaining ; unfair treatment of employees and anti-union activities appears to be factors responsible for more industrial strike in the public sector among others. Therefore, the study recommend that government should practice unbiased democracy that is just, fair and deal equitably with the respective organized union so as to prevent conflict and not control conflict because of the after math consequences.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Public employees in Florida have been permitted by law since 1974 to engage in collective bargaining with their employers. Along with the right to engage in collective bargaining, the law established a dispute resolution process for resolving bargaining impasses in lieu of the strike, which was strictly prohibited. This law also established the Public Employees Relations Commission (PERC), which was created to oversee the process. The present study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of the present impasse procedure as perceived by the concerned parties. This study was exploratory in nature and designed to provide PERC and thus the Florida Legislature with the documentation required for review of the present law. A total of 1,150 questionnaires were mailed to union representatives and public employers. A 45 percent return rate was achieved. The return was approximately equally divided between the unions and the employers. Frequency distributions of these responses and regression analyses are presented and conclusions are drawn as to the perceived effectiveness of the process.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Labour standards adopted under the auspices of the ILO constitute the principal international influences on public sector collective bargaining; it is those standards that are the subject of this article. Focusing on the position of essential public sector employees, ILO principles concerning collective bargaining, dispute settlement and the right of workers to withdraw their services as part of bargaining are examined. Particular attention is devoted to the application of ILO standards to essential public sector employees and police officers; and the extent to which Australian law complies with these standards. The ILO supervisory bodies have acknowledged that restrictions on the general right of workers to collectively bargain and to strike can be justified in the case of essential public employees, but only on a minimal or proportional analysis. The ILO has also emphasised that any restrictions on the right to strike must be compensated by adequate, impartial and speedy conciliation and arbitration processes. It is shown, however, that with respect to essential public employees and police officers operating under the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth), Australian law falls short on both of these scores, with a resultant uncertainty regarding the right of these workers to bargain collectively.

Texte intégralRésumé :
On October 16, 2017, over 12,000 faculty, librarians, and counsellors in 24 independent postsecondary colleges in Ontario, Canada went on strike for the fourth time since they organized in 1971 as members of the Civil Service Association of Ontario and won their first collective agreement the next year. Begun as an apolitical, self-consciously quasi-colonial, and decidedly elitist “professional” body in 1911, the CSAO has transformed itself in name and in nature into an increasingly class-conscious and intermittently militant Ontario Public Service Employees Union with current membership of approximately 180,000 including: clerical staff; community and social service workers; corrections officers; healthcare, transportation, and natural resource workers; as well as college academic and support staff employees. Relations with their employers have become increasingly adversarial and rarely greater than in the college sector. This paper explores this strike.

Quenum, Cossi. « L'encadrement juridique du droit de grève : étude comparée Benin - France ». Thesis, Bordeaux, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017BORD0650.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Délit pénal puis faute contractuelle, la grève est devenue un droit constitutionnel en France et au Bénin. Le législateur français a assorti l’exercice du droit de grève de garanties en optant pour le principe de la suspension du contrat de travail du salarié faisant grève, le maintien de l’emploi dès lors que la grève se déroule dans certaines conditions. Seule la faute lourde imputable au salarié rend possible la rupture du contrat de travail. Le législateur béninois n’a pas édicté expressément les mêmes règles laissant à la jurisprudence le soin de protéger et garantir l’exercice de ce droit constitutionnel. Pour exercer valablement le droit de grève, les grévistes doivent informer préalablement de l’employeur de leur revendication afin qu’il puisse y répondre et éviter si possible le déclenchement de la grève. Le droit de grève doit s’exercer dans la quête permanente d’une compatibilité avec d’autres libertés constitutionnelles (droit de propriété, liberté d’entreprendre, liberté du travail,…). Il existe dans les deux pays des procédures facultatives de prévention et de résolution de conflit. L’exercice du droit de grève s’incline devant l’invocation d’un intérêt supérieur tel que l’intérêt général ; ceci conduit à la prévision d’un service minimum, parfois à un ordre de réquisition. Par ailleurs, l’obligation d’observer un préavis tout comme la multiplication de recours préalable peut participer, singulièrement au Bénin, de stratégies visant à différer ou à rendre difficile l’entrée en grève. Enfin, de façon variable en droits béninois et français, sont interdits certains motifs ou certaines modalités de grève. Dans les deux pays, en cas d’exercice anormal du droit de grève, le gréviste peut voir mis en jeu sa responsabilité tant au plan civil que pénal. Respecter le droit de grève tout en limitant les débordements les plus nuisibles liés parfois à son exercice, conduit à voir affirmer une véritable démocratie sociale, adjuvant nécessaire de la démocratie politiquePenal offense and then contractual fault, the strike became a constitutional right in France and Benin. This consecration comes in paragraph 7 of the Preamble of the French Constitution: "the right to strike is exercised within the framework of the laws that regulate it". Article 31 of the Beninese Constitution of 11 December 1990 states: "The State recognizes and guarantees the right to strike. Any worker may defend his interests, either individually or collectively or through trade union action, as provided by law. The right to strike shall be exercised in accordance with the conditions laid down by law ". As the formulas adopted by the French and Beninese constituents were almost similar, it was the legislator who had the task of clarifying the scope of beneficiaries. In common, apart from some variable legal limitations, the right to strike is found both in the public sector and in the private sector. The Beninese and French legislators have specified the conditions under which the right to strike can be exercised and the formalities or procedures to be respected before the strike begins. The French legislature imposed guarantees on the exercise of the right to strike by opting for the principle of the suspension of the employment contract of the striking employee and the maintenance of employment if the strike takes place under certain conditions. Only the gross negligence attributable to the employee makes it possible to terminate the employment contract. The Beninese legislature has not expressly enacted the same rules, leaving the case law to protect and guarantee the exercise of this constitutional right. The powers traditionally recognized by the employer are subject to scrutiny when disciplinary proceedings are instituted against strikers or in the event of a pay deduction for strike action. Protection is only in favor of a strike based on professional demands. In order to properly exercise the right to strike, strikers must inform the employer in advance of their claim so that they can respond to it and avoid the strike if possible. The right to strike must be exercised in the permanent search for compatibility with other constitutional freedoms (property rights, freedom of enterprise, freedom of labor, etc.). There are voluntary conflict prevention and resolution procedures in both countries. The exercise of the right to strike is subject to the invocation of a superior interest such as the general interest, but also sometimes to the obligation imposed on employees to observe a minimum service or even to respond to a requisition order. The system of requisitioning strikers differs in its implementation in Benin and French law. On the other hand, the obligation to observe a long notice as well as the multiplication of preliminary remedies is part of strategies to delay or make difficult the strike. In Beninese law, as in French law, certain grounds or methods of strike are prohibited. By way of indication, the requirement to call a strike by a representative trade union in the public sector constitutes a point of divergence between Beninese and French rights. On the other hand, in both countries, the "statute" of an employee's striker does not preclude the possibility that, in the event of an abnormal exercise of the right to strike, civil or criminal liability may be exercised

Texte intégralRésumé :
The phenomenon of conflict is the problem that principals are faced with in their respective schools. The aim of this study was to explore the role that innovative leadership could play in managing conflict at the selected schools in Botswana. For the purpose of this study, a qualitative research approach was adopted. It included interviews, during which the informants responded to open-ended questions; observations, where the researcher visited the schools and interacted with the informants; and document analysis. These methods were employed to determine the perceptions of participants regarding the nature, extent, and causes of conflict at the selected schools. The study indicated that a number of factors could significantly contribute in managing conflict. Employing innovative educational leaders, benchmarking, using bottom-up communication skills, and the engagement of policy analysts, are some of the key recommendations made for avoiding further conflict within schools and between schools and the Ministry of Education.Educational Leadership and Management

Texte intégralRésumé :
This chapter examines how Southern sanitation workers transformed public sector unionism in the United States between the 1940s and the 1960s. While the 1968 Memphis sanitation strike is well known as a turning point in the African American civil rights movement, due largely to the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. and the alliance between civil rights and labor activists during and after the strike, that moment was one flash point in a long history of militancy by African American public employees in the South. By engaging in strikes and demanding collective bargaining rights in an era when most public sector unions rejected both as overly militant, Black workers set the stage for a broader movement of public employee unionism in the 1960s and 1970s.

Texte intégralRésumé :
During the 1960s, thousands of schoolteachers, nurses, sanitation workers, prison guards, firefighters, and police joined unions for the first time. Many of those workers defied the law by going on strike. This chapter explains how the Labor Board vets tried to mediate such strikes in New York City and then drafted new legislation for the public-sector employees in New York State. The Taylor Law enabled hundreds of thousands of public employees to unionize. But it did not stop strikes or slow wage and salary increases. On the contrary, relations between the public union employees, government agencies, and the public remained turbulent for years.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Abstract The interplay between equality and diversity law and human rights principles in the workplace is perhaps strongest in the areas of religious practice, dress codes and freedom of expression. These three areas are interrelated in that they often overlap in practice, and all involve a tension between the employee’s right not to be discriminated against on any of the prohibited grounds and their right to respect for their human rights in the workplace (most strikingly if they are public sector employees); and the employer’s desire to run their business in efficient ways that are fair to all. In this chapter we explore the law relating to these issues and seek to offer practical ways in which advisers can strike a fair balance between these competing needs.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This chapter analyzes the history of law and policy on police unions, from the Boston police strike of 1919 to modern debates over whether police unions increase abusive policing. Concerns about police unions have long driven debates that have affected all public sector unions in terms of labor law rules, policy, and even the structure of the public sector labor movement generally. Such concerns delayed the passage of the first statute granting any public employees the right to bargain collectively in Wisconsin in 1959. The chapter concludes by analyzing modern criticisms of police unions, now from the political left, and some statutory amendments made in response to those criticisms.

Texte intégralRésumé :
In January 1934, during one of the worst years of the Depression for job scarcity, over four hundred laundry workers from the Sunshine and Colonial Laundries in Brooklyn walked off the job. Included among the strikers was African American Dollie Robinson. The employers’ refusal to pay the workers thirty-one cents an hour, the new minimum wage established by New York State’s recently formed Minimum Fair Wage Advisory Committee, precipitated the strike. Supported by elite allies from the WTUL, including Eleanor Roosevelt and Cornelia Bryce Pinchot, the workers, half of whom were Black, stayed out for two months. An analysis of this groundbreaking strike demonstrates the symbiotic relationship between union organizing and legislation and the efficacy of elite support in amplifying the workers’ voices. It also reveals a growing ideological rift between increasingly radicalized workers determined to engage in militant action to enforce their newly won right to organize and their WTUL allies, who continued to promote orderly, respectable behavior to win public sympathy and state support for women’s unionism.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Jean King, a St. Louis transplant from Osceola, Arkansas, and Memphis, Tennessee, in the fall of 1968 spotted a young Andre Smallwood eating a piece of bread he found on the snow-covered ground outside of their Darst public-housing development located just south of downtown. King soon learned that Smallwood’s mother had a monthly welfare check that amounted to less than the newly stipulated rent increase. The contrast between King and Smallwood’s mother could not have been more striking, although both resided in the same housing project. King and her husband, employed and married with one child, had the means to avoid routine visits from caseworkers, fluctuating welfare payments, and rent schedules that continually increased. But negotiating these realities was typical for most other black women, many of whom functioned as their family’s breadwinners. Public-housing tenants had already been meeting regularly to discuss the possibility of conducting a rent strike when King attended a tenants’ meeting at the nearby Blumeyer Housing Project in midtown St. Louis. After King shared the story of her encounter with Smallwood’s mother, tenants elected her president of the Citywide Rent Strike Committee. Like many “organic intellectuals” who emerged as leaders of grassroots social movements, King came out of a local movement that was already organized when the time to strike arrived. King, along with other black women community organizers, went on to spearhead one of the nation’s largest and earliest rent strikes in the postwar era. Women’s militant mass action garnered national attention and later influenced public policy reform.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This chapter charts a groundswell in labor organizing at Cook County Hospital, Chicago’s only public hospital and a crucial safety net for the city’s marginalized residents, in the late 1960s and early 1970s. In this period of growing social movement activity, hospital employees responded to poor conditions like severe overcrowding and understaffing by turning to collective action. Hospital workers demanded dignity and accountability from public officials, hospital management, and union leaders. They launched unionization campaigns, fought for racial justice, and protested patronage. They used strikes and other job actions to achieve just wages, safe working conditions, and good patient care. Women workers pioneered these struggles, creating a tradition of organizing for accountability and the public good that shaped the hospital’s history for years to come.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The Company Town was a phenomenon of the early twentieth century in which a single corporation would build housing, commercial, and community facilities for its employees, providing for all aspects of its employee’s daily lives. Financed by industrial tycoons, these Company Towns often became mechanisms to police worker behavior and lifestyles, creating isolated communities hostile to labor organization and marked by class paternalism and monopoly economics. Ultimately, the Company Town model declined due to a combination of fac¬tors, not only its exploitative tendencies but also including the rising prosperity of workers, an increase in government-funded public facilities such as schools and libraries, and the afford¬ability of private transportation [1]. These changes made the Company Town’s proximity between housing and factory no longer necessary, resulting not only in the dispersal of these workers but also in the loss of the concentrated power of their collective presence. Despite its failure as a model for urban settlement, the Company Town occasionally became a space of radical change for labor rights. The shared experience of workers uniting over common hardships produced significant victories for labor activists and worker unions, spurred on by organized action such as the Pullman Strike and railroad boycott in 1894 in Chicago [2]. Through the lens of the Company Town, the studio asked if this model of housing could offer clues to developing new forms of solidarity and support for one of the most precarious conditions of labor today: the seasonal Amazon fulfillment worker. By developing worker-owned housing adjacent to the Amazon HOU1 Warehouse in Houston’s outer loop, students proposed an alternative version of the Company Town, cooperatively owned and governed by co-workers rather than a corporate employer.

The process of transition in Serbia has entered its third decade. Transition implies a break with the former economic pattern and appropriate to it institutional environment, i.e. the transition from one form of economic and social system (non- market or insufficiently market and totalitarian, i.e. populist) into another, completely different system (market and democratic). The privatization process is an important aspect of the transition of the economy from the public to the private sector. The paper focuses on the position and rights of employees during the privatization process and the consequences that privatization can have on the employees of companies that are being privatized, but also on the economy and the market in general. The paper lists the basic models of privatization, with an emphasis on the period after 2000. The most common causes and reasons for employee strikes were analyzed middle classes before, during and after the privatization of the company. The role is indicated unions in privatization and new forms of organizing dissatisfied strikers and participants in public protests. The paper will provide an insight into the negative outcomes of privatization according to the issue of employee rights, but also to show the positive effects not only for employees in privatized companies bur also more widely. The most important negative effects of privatization in Serbia could be reduced to the following:massive loss of jobs, increasing prevalence of precarious work, growth unemployment and poverty of citizens, marginalization of the importance and role of trade unions organizing. The faster the privatization, the more ineffective the strikes became. The positive effects are generally less numerous than the negative ones, but not the same negligible and represent novelties characteristic of a market-oriented society and pursuit of profit.

ABSTRACT Background: Company X is a company engaged in drilling mud, due to the high intensity of work and an unhealthy lifestyle, occupational health and safety (OHS) becomes a problem. In 2018, employees were facing cholesterol, triglycerides, hypertension, obesity and hyperuricemia problems and in addition, there were three employees experiencing heart attacks, one stroke, two employees experiencing kidney dysfunction, and one employee experiencing gallstones. Meanwhile, the OHS program in the company has not been implemented optimally. There was a decline in the trend of sports programs participation from January 2018 (75%) to January 2019 (25%). It is necessary to improve and develop OHS based on the RAPCRIEC method (Recognition, Analysis, Planning, Communication, Preparation, Implementation, Evaluation, and Continuity) to reduce the percentage of employees who experience cholesterol, triglycerides, hypertension, and obesity. Subjects and Methods: This was a quantitative design carried out at PT X conducted in June-December 2019. The study subjects were all 69 employees of PT X. The independent variable of the study was the health program. The dependent variables of the study were cholesterol levels, triglycerides, hypertension, obesity and employee hyperuricemia. Data on cholesterol, triglycerides, hypertension, obesity and hyperuricemia were obtained from medical check-ups. Data were analyzed using the percentage reduction in the number of employees who experience cholesterol, triglycerides, hypertension, obesity and hyperuricemia. Results: In the results of the medical check-up in 2018, it was found that the most health problems were cholesterol (37%), triglycerides (22%), hypertension (11.5%), obesity (7.5%), and hyperuricemia (7.2%). After the using of RAPCRIEC method, in December 2019 a medical check-up was conducted and showed the decrease health problems percentage among workers. They were experienced cholesterol (21.7%), triglycerides (11.6%), hypertension (7.2%), obesity (5.7%) and hyperuricemia (2.8%). Conclusion: The development of a health program using the RAPCRIEC method at company X has reduced the percentage of employees who experience cholesterol, triglycerides, hypertension, and obesity.

ABSTRACT Background: The impact of stroke on health may be disastrous. Stroke can affect multiple domains of quality of life. The purpose of this study was to examine biopsychosocial determinants of quality of life in post stroke patients. Subjects and Method: A cross sectional study was conducted at Surakarta hospital, Central Java, from September to October 2019. A sample of 200 post stroke patients was selected for this study purposively. The dependent variable was quality of life. The independent variables were age, gender, empoyment, income, family income, marital status, history of stroke attack, co-morbidity, duration of illness, functional disorder, depression, and family support. The data were collected by medical record and questionnaire. The data were analyzed by a multiple logistic regression. Results: Quality of life of post stroke patients increased with married (b= 1.79; 95% CI= 0.24 to 3.35; p= 0.024), employed (b= 1.93; 95% CI= 0.13 to 3.72; p= 0.035), mild fuctional disorder (b=1.68; 95% CI= 0.11 to 3.25; p= 0.036), and strong family support (b= 2.17; 95% CI= 0.46 to 3.88; p= 0.013). Quality of life of post stroke patients decreased with age ≥60 years (b= -1.99; 95% CI= -3.80 to -0.17; p= 0.032), female (b= -1.74; 95% CI= -3.28 to -0.19; p= 0.027), stroke attack >1 time (b= -1.87; 95% CI= -3.59 to -0.15; p= 0.033), length of illness ≥6 months (b= -2.12; 95% CI= -3.87 to -0.36; p= 0.018), co-morbidity (b= -1.96; 95% CI= -3.67 to -0.24; p= 0.025), and depression (b= -1.40; 95% CI= -2.97 to 0.16; p= 0.078). Conclusion: Quality of life of post stroke patients increases with married, employed, mild fuctional disorder, and strong family support. Quality of life of post stroke patients decreases with age ≥60 years, female, stroke attack >1 time, length of illness ≥6 months, co-morbidity, and depression.

Texte intégralRésumé :
<div class="htmlview paragraph">There is a movement to apply emission control in a marine engine as well due to high public awareness of environmental concern in the United States. We started at the development of 3-seater Personal Watercraft (PWC) equipped with 4-stroke engines in taking environment conformity and potential into account. The PWC employed series 4-cylinder 1100cc displacement engine that has been used for mass production motorcycles. The engine was modified to satisfy requirements for PWC, as a marine engine, such as performance function and corrosion. In order to achieve greater or equal power/weight ratio as against two-stroke PWCs, a four-stroke engine for PWC with an exhaust turbo charger was developed. As a result, we succeeded in developing an engine that attained top-level running performance and durability superior to competitors' 2-stroke engines. Emission performance of the engine satisfied EPA 2006 and CARB 2004 regulation while fuel economy was also improved 16% compared with competitors' 2-stroke engines.</div>

Texte intégralRésumé :
In addition to the undoubted progress compared to the previous period, the small space won by e-government is underutilized. Progress in the normative aspect is not always accompanied by adequate activities in the technical- technological segment. Excessive complexity of procedures for providing public services electronically, poor information literacy of citizens and employees in administrative bodies, awareness and culture, insufficient technological equipment, lack of adequate coordination and cooperation of administrative bodies and many other problems hinder mass application. And that is exactly what is needed to realize the immeasurable benefits of e-government. Faster and better provision of public services, which e-government strives for, is the best incentive for its further development. Although it should be borne in mind that e- government is not a panacea for all the ills of public administration - as evidenced by the many challenges facing even countries that are far ahead of Serbia in this regard - in many examples has proven to be a powerful catalyst for reform. Given that the modernization of public administration is a long-term process, its effects will be visible only in the period ahead, so it is difficult and somewhat ungrateful to make forecasts regarding the further direction of development. However, what is considered imperative in the coming period, and especially because of the importance of efficient public administration for the functioning of society as a whole, is to direct the attention of the professional and political public towards more efficient removal of e-government and better and fuller use of existing potentials.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This study outlines methods to measure the impact of e-learning initiatives in the field of organization-driven induction training programs. Induction is a ‘make or break’ experience in a new employee’s life, in terms of performance, trust and long-term retention. New learning environments are projected to bridge a gap in new staff integration in a critical interval wherein lack of adequate socialization and information dissemination leads to soaring premature attrition rates. Furthermore, the article intends to investigate the adaptation and customization of content topics and pedagogical methods to the new online learning context, within a milieu that elicits enhanced learners’ experience by means of emerging technological innovation. The study relies on a practical perspective on e-learning impact assessment that makes use of method triangulation, using surveyed trainees’ feedback, LMS (learning management system) platform reports and critical discourse analysis to depict new staff’s interactions, expectations and perceived challenges or encountered hurdles in reference to e-learning induction programs. Software applications facilitate big data management and make online training output visible and readily available for data analysis. Theorists and practitioners strive to evaluate the impact of gamification strategies (e.g. awarding coins for correct answers or participation to interactive quizzes) on the perceived KPIs (key performance indicators) of online training that include attractiveness, interest, credibility, usefulness and applicability. In reference to the challenge of measuring innovative training platforms by means of beneficiaries’ feedback, the study draws on practical know-how related to the construction and update of such e-learning modules. Hence, it features showcases of employee induction e-training across new learning environments using online technologies such as LMS platforms. Case studies involve the comparative analysis of four e-training induction programs, implemented in retail and private healthcare. Empirical data were collected concerning the thematic area coverage, including table of contents and the organization of structural units of content, i.e. main chapters, sub-chapters and sections such as company history, strategy, mission statement, vision and values, organizational charts, customer benefits, product and service portfolio and social involvement through CSR projects. Another explorative dimension involves the design and layout style, using visual analysis tools that streamlines the ocularcentric perspective by which today’s public is mostly composed of viewers rather than readers. The third investigative dimension refers to a critical discourse analysis of employees’ testimonials and success stories through the lens of recurring trends and sociolinguistic self-expression tools that emerge across communicative patterns. Synthetic conclusions and practical implications envision updated strategies for development of employee induction training and blended learning solutions.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Covid-19 which emerged in Wuhan province of China, evolved into a global pandemic within a short time has had social and economic effects besides its influence on public health.
Research has shown that during the pandemic, besides health sector, manufacturing, tourism and education sectors have been affected adversely. In addition to its sectoral repercussions, the changes it has caused on working life should also be taken into consideration. In parallel with the practices in many other countries, our country has taken measures in order to slow down the spread of the virus and the to minimize the number of employees in the same working place such as distance working and rotated working in public and private sectors and etc.
Due to physical isolation requirements during the pandemic period, individuals have got to know new practices and concepts such as virtual shopping, distance education and have tried to adapt themselves to them.
Individuals who actively take part in working life have also been encountered with concepts such as distance working and rotated working. All foundation and enterprises have strived for taking the measures of hygiene stipulated by the public authority while trying to ensure the adaptation process takes place with efficiency and without loss of workforce. In both public and private sectors, online meetings, conferences and activities etc. and non-spatial life style and working system have become a part of individuals’ lives.
This study is aimed at coming up with a future projection by handling the effects of COVID-19 pandemic has caused on working life.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Closely linked to the economic developments that followed after the Second World War, the emergence of golden shares was conceived as a way of preserving in favor of the public power the control over the companies initially owned by the state and subsequently privatized. They are shares that grant the state, as a shareholder, special prerogatives in companies that operate in strategic economic sectors (public security, defense, energy, telecommunications). Recognizing the state (minority in capital!) privileged faculties of a nature to ensure its control of the decision-making process, golden shares have been qualified by the Court of Justice of the European Union as barriers to the free movement of capital as they discourage acquisitions of participations and, implicitly, foreign investments. Traditionally, the Court in Luxembourg has shown very strict control over golden shares and very rarely has received the imperative reasons of general interest often invoked by states to justify them. A landmark judgment for the golden shares case law is the one pronounced in the case Commission v. Germany by which the Court, sitting as the Grand Chamber, admitted the action for failure to fulfill obligations introduced by the European Commission following the regime established by the provisions of the Volkswagen Law, more precisely the specific powers recognized to the Federal State and the Land of Lower Saxony in Volkswagen company. The Court not only had the opportunity to contribute to strengthening the free movement of capital but also to provide a model of analysis of the restrictions that stem from what we call golden shares. The study aims not only a detailed description of the case-law but also elements of novelty of the judgment that widens the debate on justifying restrictions from the perspective of specific reasons such as protecting the interests of employees and minority shareholders.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Blocked by novel judicial defenses that deprived them of the common law remedies that the general public enjoyed, workers agitated for decades until growing political pressure led employers and the courts to accept worker’s compensation in America at the beginning of the twentieth century. Two remarkable side-effects of the Worker’s Compensation Acts were the ignition of the safety movement and the reformulation of tort law in regards to technological harms. These changes came just as some of the dangers formerly reserved for industrial workers began to be visited upon consumers in the form of new, complex, and mass-produced products. Safety-minded engineers joined together to reassess the role of technology in accident-related injury, creating a new framework for design that shed old deterministic assumptions about operator behavior. Likewise, the legal community re-imagined tort law in view of a broad no-fault worker’s compensation system. The legal formulation culminated in a strict products liability regime in 1964, and a sea change in the social status of technology itself. But these two revolutionary conceptions, both oriented toward the protection of the user, are not equal: modern legal disputes serve to expose the disconnect between the engineering and legal frameworks of safe design.

Law and Policy Resource Guide : A Survey of Eminent Domain Law in Texas and the Nation. Sous la direction de Gabriel Eckstein. Texas A&M University School of Law Program in Natural Resources Systems, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.37419/eenrs.eminentdomainguide.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Eminent Domain is the power of the government or quasi-government entities to take private or public property interests through condemnation. Eminent Domain has been a significant issue since 1879 when, in the case of Boom Company v. Patterson, the Supreme Court first acknowledged that the power of eminent domain may be delegated by state legislatures to agencies and non-governmental entities. Thus, the era of legal takings began. Though an important legal dispute then, more recently eminent domain has blossomed into an enduring contentious social and political problem throughout the United States. The Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution states, “nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.” Thus, in the wake of the now infamous decision in Kelo v. City of New London, where the Court upheld the taking of private property for purely economic benefit as a “public use,” the requirement of “just compensation” stands as the primary defender of constitutionally protected liberty under the federal constitution. In response to Kelo, many state legislatures passed a variety of eminent domain reforms specifically tailoring what qualifies as a public use and how just compensation should be calculated. Texas landowners recognize that the state’s population is growing at a rapid pace. There is an increasing need for more land and resources such as energy and transportation. But, private property rights are equally important, especially in Texas, and must be protected as well. Eminent domain and the condemnation process is not a willing buyer and willing seller transition; it is a legally forced sale. Therefore, it is necessary to consider further improvements to the laws that govern the use of eminent domain so Texas landowners can have more assurance that this process is fair and respectful of their private property rights when they are forced to relinquish their land. This report compiles statutes and information from the other forty-nine states to illustrate how they address key eminent domain issues. Further, this report endeavors to provide a neutral third voice in Texas to strike a more appropriate balance between individual’s property rights and the need for increased economic development. This report breaks down eminent domain into seven major topics that, in addition to Texas, seemed to be similar in many of the other states. These categories are: (1) Awarding of Attorneys’ Fee; (2) Compensation and Valuation; (3) Procedure Prior to Suit; (4) Condemnation Procedure; (5) What Cannot be Condemned; (6) Public Use & Authority to Condemn; and (7) Abandonment. In analyzing these seven categories, this report does not seek to advance a particular interest but only to provide information on how Texas law differs from other states. This report lays out trends seen across other states that are either similar or dissimilar to Texas, and additionally, discusses interesting and unique laws employed by other states that may be of interest to Texas policy makers. Our research found three dominant categories which tend to be major issues across the country: (1) the awarding of attorneys’ fees; (2) the valuation and measurement of just compensation; and (3) procedure prior to suit.
