Christian Parent Controlled (CPC) Schools, which commenced in the 1960s, are a relatively small, but growing component of the non-government schooling sector in Australia. In 2001, they enrolled over 22 000 students in 85 schools. Very little research has been conducted on the values and practices of CPC schools and while these schools frequently assert that they promote explicitly Christian values, their foundational values have not previously been identified or recorded. This research identifies the key foundational values which are characteristic of these schools and examines the extent to which these values continue to influence the prevailing practices of these schools. Consideration is given to the implications of the relationship between foundational values and prevailing practices for the identity, development and leadership of CPC schools in Australia. The ability of these schools to articulate their foundational values and consider their prevailing practices in the light of these values should enhance their ability to understand their heritage, assess their current situation and plan their future. The research found that in general, prevailing practices in these schools give faithful expression to the foundational values; however, the research also identified a number of areas where CPC schools struggle to engage consistently with these values. As a result of this study, recommendations are proposed to assist national and school-based leadership in their strategic planning for the maintenance of these values and the future of these schools.

This study aims to examine how upper secondary English teachers work with foundationalvalues and controversial topics through fictional works in order to discuss the function of valuesand the civic mission in the EFL-classroom. The study was conducted using a qualitativeapproach through semi structured interviews, interviewing seven currently active uppersecondary English teachers. To structure the data from the interviews a thematic analysis wasapplied, and the theoretical approaches used for analysing the data were transformativepotential and narrative imagination.The results of this study show that the participants have an interest in using fictional workscontaining controversial issues for discussing foundational values in the classroom. The studyalso shows that there are both common challenges and advantages of teaching controversialissues through fiction. All participants had similar opinions about the advantages which werethe emergence of expanding worldviews and perspectives among pupils. The challengesmentioned among the participants were: reading in a second language, giving the pupils enoughpre-knowledge and knowing which position to take as a teacher during discussions aboutcontroversial topics. Noticeable differences in the teachers’ opinions were due to their lengthof work experience. Finally, the civic mission in the EFL-classroom could be distinguished inthe teachers’ arguments of why they implement fictional works with controversial topics intheir teaching.

How to interpret and elucidate from a phenomenological perspective the requirement that philosophical theorizing ought to consider the legitimacy or universal validity of ethical principles as well as the diversity of life forms? What could phenomenology say about the distance between the theoretical foundations of ethics and the practical application of its principles? To elucidate these questions, first, we take the characteristics of Habermas’s discourse ethics as reference point to show what Scheler’s material ethics of values consists in and in what sense it rejects both universalism and relativism. Secondly, we present the concepts that articulate the phenomenological foundations of this ethics in order to indicate in what sense the universal” and the individual” are taken as complementary. Starting from some questions concerning the problem of the distance between theory and practice raised by this conception, we sketch finally some thematic lines to indicate to what extent it is possible to expect from the material ethics of values to shorten that distance.¿Cómo interpretar y esclarecer desde una perspectiva fenomenológica la exigencia de que la fundamentación filosófica considere tanto la legitimidad o validez universal de los principios éticos como la diversidad de formas de vida? ¿Qué puede decir la fenomenología sobre la distancia entre la fundamentación teórica de la ética y la aplicación práctica de sus principios? Para esclarecer estas dos preguntas, en primer lugar, se toma como referencia las características de la ética del discurso de Habermas para mostrar en qué consiste la ética material de los valores de Scheler y en qué sentido rechaza tanto el universalismo como el relativismo. En segundo lugar, se exponen los conceptos que articulan la fundamentación fenomenológica de esta ética con el fin de precisar en qué sentido lo universal” y lo individual” se entienden como complementarios. Finalmente, a partir de algunas preguntas concernientes al problema de la distancia entre la teoría y la práctica suscitadas por esta concepción, se esbozan algunas líneas temáticas para indicar hasta qué punto es posible esperar de la ética material de los valores que acorte dicha distancia.

In the light of the declining moral standards in South African society, there is a need for
children to be supported and developed on their journey towards responsible adulthood.
The school is regarded as one of the most relevant stakeholders in the teaching of values
for the moral development of the younger generation in particular and broader society in
general. I observed how teachers impart values to leaners through the subject Life Skills
that also includes the moral aspect.
This study employed a qualitative research method using a case study of four schools
and twelve teachers. The four schools were purposefully selected to obtain a deeper
understanding of the participants' experiences from different perspectives. The selected
schools are from different socio-economic backgrounds. Two schools were selected from
rural areas. However, the areas differed in the sense that one was in a traditional village
under the authority of a tribal chief while other was on trust land bought by the residents.
One school was selected from an informal settlement and one from a semi-urban area.
Semi-structured interviews and classroom observations were conducted to gather data.
Teachers were interviewed after school and field notes were taken to record data
collected from the participants in order to examine how teachers understood and
implemented teaching values education in the foundation phase. These values include,
amongst others, social justice and equity whereby freedom of choice and access to
education are highlighted.
The study found that the professional training of life skills teachers and multiculturalism
during life skills lessons, i.e. the cultural differences between the teachers and learners
as members of a community, need to be addressed. The study also recommends that a
relationship of trust between parents and schools should be established to help enable
teachers to address the issue of moral regeneration in our society. Classroom observation was conducted during the collection of data. School policy documents were analysed and
teachers were interviewed to get a deeper understanding of how they understood values
and how they contributed to the development of young citizens.
From the observations and interviews, it could be deduced that teachers have different
understandings of values education. It was also found that teachers find it difficult to
contextualise and reconcile cultural values with the values that they are supposed to teach
at school.
The recommendations based on the findings of my study include the professional training
of Life Skills teachers and the promotion of multiculturalism during Life Skills lessons
where the cultural differences between learners and teachers are addressed. The study
also recommends that the relationship of trust between teachers, parents and the larger
society should be entrenched in order to assist teachers to instil values in young learners.Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2016.

Tourism and SportPh.D.
Previous research has demonstrated that a network model of destination value creation (i.e. the Destination Value System model) based on the flows of travelers within a destination can be used to estimate and predict individual attractions’ marginal contributions to total visitor expenditures. While development to date of the Destination Value System (DVS) has focused on the value created from dyadic relationships within the destination network, previous research supports the proposition that system-level network structures significantly influence the total value created within a destination. This study, therefore, builds upon previous DVS research in order to determine the relationships between system-level network structures and total value creation within a destination. To answer this question econometric analysis of panel data covering 43 Florida destinations over the period from 2007 to 2015 was conducted. The panel data was created utilizing volunteered geographic information (VGI) obtained from 4.6 million photographs shared on Flickr. Results of econometric analysis indicate that both seasonal effects and DVS network structures have statistically significant relationships with total tourism-related sales within a destination. Specifically, network density, network out-degree centralization, and network global clustering coefficient are found to have negative and statistically significant effects on destination value creation, while network in-degree centralization, network betweenness centralization, and network subcommunity count are found to have positive and statistically significant effects. Quarterly seasonality is also found to have dynamic and statistically significant effects on total tourism-related sales within a destination. Based on the network structures of destinations and total tourism related sales within destinations, this study also uses k-means cluster analysis to classify tourism destinations into a taxonomy of six different system types (Exploration, Involvement, Development I, Development II, Consolidation, and Stars). This taxonomy of DVS types is found to correspond to Butler’s (1980) conceptualization of the destination life cycle, and additional data visualization and exploration based on the DVS taxonomy finds distinct characteristics in destination structure, dynamics, evolution, and performance that may be useful for benchmarking. Additionally, this study assesses the quality of VGI data for tourism related research by comparing DVS network structures based on Flickr data and visitor intercept survey data. Support for the use of VGI data is found, provided that thousands of observations are available for analysis. When fewer observations are available, aggregation techniques are recommended in order to improve the quality of overall destination network system quantification. This research makes important contributions to both the academic literature and the practical management of destinations by demonstrating that DVS network structures significantly influence the economic value created within the destination, and thus suggests that a strategic network management approach is needed for the governance of competitive destinations. As a result, this study provides a strong foundation for the DVS model and future research in the areas of destination resiliency, “smarter” destination management, and tourism experience design.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
This thesis addresses the question of what Nyerere’s particular version of Ujamaa (socialism) is. It answers that question by focusing on themes which surround and feed into Ujamaa, in order to provide its conceptual account. The thesis is an account of the ideology of Ujamaa in both theory and practice. Thus while the writings of Nyerere have been a primary source along with contemporary and subsequent commentators, the thesis is not about Nyerere, the person or the body of his work, but about the development and construction of the particular social, cultural, and political theory and practice. Therefore, only the elements of Nyerere’s thought which speak directly about this have been included. Data was collected from the writings of Nyerere as a primary source and supplemented with the work of other commentators in order to argue that Ujamaa was not just a development theory but it was also an ideology, a reconstruction of an imaginary relationship at the level of the state, which should be reinstated in order to free Tanzanians from the yoke of domination. Thus, as well as being interesting historically and conceptually, the thesis might also be relevant considering the contemporary political situation in Tanzania.

Pirgmaier, Elke. "Value, capital and nature : rethinking the foundations of ecological economics". Thesis, University of Leeds, 2018. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/22895/.
Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Ecological economists aim to study the interrelations between ecological and economic systems, with a view to promoting changes towards sustainability. They agree that the nature of global environmental crises is systemic and rooted in economic dynamics. Yet, core economic categories, such as prices, profits, money and their interrelations with ecological destruction, are surprisingly undertheorized. The 'economic' becomes either tied to neoclassical economics or remains neglected. Marxian Political Economy has the potential to address this gap, but is mostly ignored in ecological economics, especially in what it is best at: explaining dynamics of the capitalist system as a whole. This PhD advocates a more systemic and theoretically grounded ecological economics. I find that neoclassical economic reasoning is rooted much deeper in ecological economics than often assumed. I present a critique of the neoclassical underpinnings of ecological economics, and a Marxian alternative. I identify the Marxian understanding of 'value' and 'capital' as the missing core of ecological economics: a realistic understanding of the capitalist system, spelled out from basics in simple and abstract terms. I explain these foundations and integrate them with a system dynamics understanding of global ecological destruction, social crises and barriers to social change. I conclude that ecological economics needs to be grounded in a realistic understanding of capitalism - if it aspires to meet its own ambitions. Economic theory and methodology are powerful political tools towards this end: they expose or conceal root causes of social ecological problems and offer better or worse guidance on how to act. Pragmatism about the role of theory and methodology is dangerous, more often than not, because it promotes the reproduction of power relations that prevent, instead of encourage, sustainability transitions. I argue for the need to break with existing prejudices against the Marxian approach and take it seriously as realistic economic theory.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
The Purbeck Review of Schools, initiated by Dorset County Council in 2008, resulted in the closure of the middle school in Swanage, leaving the town bereft of secondary education by July 2013. A community-led group, Education Swanage, founded a new school in the town, which opened in September 2013 as a free school, with a humanscale ethos. Although there was controversy about free schools at the time, there is no research to date about how personal values influence the founding of such a school. This research answers the question how did values influence the founding of The Swanage School? This inductive research was informed by literature on the conceptualization of ‘values’ and the ‘sacred’ and delimited by theoretical insights from practical theology, living theory and human-scale education. The action research strategy, set within a paradigm of praxis, addressed how values influenced action in founding the school. Semistructured interviews, an online survey and a validation group were used to discover how values influenced practice. The data revealed a variety of interpretations of the term ‘values’, which were most commonly alluded to as being central in guiding and informing everyday interaction in the world and relating to how humans respond to others whilst also being a reflection of personal identity. The research identified areas of practice where the interplay of intrinsic and extrinsic values was influential when operating in contradiction and congruence to affect change. Analysis of the findings enabled conclusions and propositions to be developed, which focused on how values influenced the process of moving from contradiction to congruence in order to enact change. Values were a significant influence in the founding of The Swanage School. When values were contradicted they acted as standards of judgement and formed the basis of conversations which led to problems being solved and decisions being made. Concepts from the wider literature and the field of practical theology provided insight into how values can be defined and how their influence on action can be interpreted as an encounter with the sacred. The conclusion of this study and its contribution to knowledge is the explanation of how values influenced the founding of The Swanage School in the form of a living educational theory.

This qualitative study was undertaken to determine the organizational values shared by the professional employees of the Florida Cooperative Extension Service. Related topics that contributed to the literature review included human and organizational values, organizational culture, strategic planning, and the philosophical foundations of the Cooperative Extension Service.
Focus group interviews were conducted in each of the five administrative districts and on the University of Florida Campus. A total of 40 individuals took part in the group interviews. Transcripts of the interviews were read, coded, and sorted by themes to develop a list of twelve categories of values shared by the professionals interviewed. Coded sections of the transcripts were transferred to a descriptive matrix in order to reduce and simplify the analysis.
Three groupings of values emerged from the data and were described as "communities" of values. The three communities were personal, Personal values mission-related, and structural values. were rewards, relationships, and personal history. Mission-related values were organizational history, research-based information, relevance, comprehensiveness, life-long education, diversity, and service. structural values were shared ownership and system linkages.
These three communities were depicted in figures that described the relationships of the values to one another. The final discussion described the inter-relatedness of the three communities in the overall organizational structure. Recommendations were made for further study and program development for the Florida Cooperative Extension Service.

The main objective of this thesis is to examine the theory of capitalism and its ontological foundations through the major works of Marx and Deleuze&Guattari. In his monumental book called Capital, Karl Marx develops an account of capitalism based on his understanding of philosophy of which takes its roots from Hegel and Feuerbach. Additionally, English political economy and French socialism serve as reliable grounds for Marx&

s analysis. In light of the writings of these historical precursors, Marx constitutes a profound critique of capitalist mode of production. On the other hand, Deleuze and Guattari, as the representatives of contemporary French philosophy, develop a different account of capitalism in their influential book called Anti-Oedipus. By relying upon Nietzsche, in Anti-Oedipus, Deleuze and Guattari examine capitalism in a non-dialectical manner. Despite the fact that they reject the major aspects of Marxian mode of thinking, they concentrate on the similar questions shared by Marx. The question of capitalism and its conception as an immanent system which reproduces itself by means of capital appears as the common problem that directs them to think analogously. In this respect, this thesis is an attempt to discover the points of ruptures and the points of continuities in two different account of capitalism.

The problem of this study was the relative value and importance of perceived benefits of active foundations of public community colleges. The purposes were to identify a list of benefits; determine the importance of these benefits as perceived by presidents and foundation executive directors; assess the degree to which the level of importance of the benefits was affected by college or foundation demographics or foundation executive director characteristics; and to determine if presidents and foundation executive directors differ in their perceptions of the importance of the benefits. Survey instruments were mailed to presidents and foundation executive directors of colleges determined to have active foundations. Both instruments contained seven categories listing potential benefits to the community colleges of an active foundation. The foundation executive directors' instruments also requested college and foundation demographic data. Respondents were asked to rate the benefits according to their level of importance. Analysis of variance tests were performed to determine whether the categories of benefits were affected by any of the demographic data, when a level of significance emerged, a Scheffe' test was performed to determine the source of significance. Major findings were that the most important single benefit to the community colleges of active foundations is the provision of student scholarships. The "Public Relations/Political Influence" role of the active foundation is the most important category of benefits. The more fund-raising activities held and the greater the amount of contributions, the more positively community college administrators felt about the role of their active foundations in terms of external relations. Highly experienced foundation executive directors were more positive about the importance of the public relations role of their active foundations than were their inexperienced counterparts. The major conclusion of this study was that community colleges benefit from having active foundations, both monetarily and through the role of the foundation in enhancing the college's image.

The study analyses fiction used in upper secondary schools in the subject of English in the aims of connecting it to the Swedish concept of “värdegrunden” (foundation of values) which all education in Swedish schools must be based on. The study aims to answer the question of how teachers work with fiction in relation to the foundation of values, and to identify which power structures and norms occur in the fiction they use in relation to sexuality, ethnicity, and equality. The methods used in this study are semi structured interviews and an intersectional analysis. The study has found that the teachers use different strategies when working with “värdegrunden” and literature, such as normalisation by including LGBT and POC-themed (People of Colour) books into English language education, working around specific themes, and giving students the opportunity to reflect and discuss the books together in order to combat discrimination and encourage tolerance.

La théorie de la mesure, basée sur la mesure projective, constitue un aspect fondamental de la mécanique quantique. La mesure faible diffère de la mesure projective traditionnelle sur laquelle les axiomes élémentaires de la physique quantique sont bâtis. Bien que définie dans le cadre de la théorie quantique standard, les mesures faibles sont encore mal comprises. Le travail de thèse s'inscrit dans une large démarche qui vise à comprendre les implications conceptuelles et pratiques d'une telle mesure et à la comprendre dans le cadre de la théorie quantique.Le chapitre 1 est une introduction détaillée à la mesure faible et à la valeur faible. Ensuite, nous étudierons les "trajectoires faibles" dans un interféromètre à fentes d'Young. Nous abordons au chapitre 3 les implications de l'annulation d'une valeur faible au regard de l'apparition de trajectoires faibles dans des interféromètres de Mach-Zender imbriqués. Enfin, le chapitre 4 traite des critiques théoriques et expérimentales présentes dans la littérature concernant l'effet du Chat du Cheshire quantique qui est défini dans le cadre de mesures faiblesMeasurement theory, based on projective measurements, is a fundamental aspect of quantum mechanics. Weak measurements differ from standard projective measurements on which the elementary axioms of quantum physics are built. Although weak measurement framework is defined within standard quantum mechanics, its implications are still poorly understood. The thesis work is part of a broad reflexion that aims to understand the conceptual and practical implications of such a measurement and to understand it in the context of quantum theory.Chapter 1 is a detailed introduction to weak measurements and weak values. Next, we will study the "weak trajectories" in a two slit interferometer. In Chapter 3, we discuss the implications of a cancellation of a weak value with respect to the observation of weak trajectories in nested Mach-Zender interferometers. Finally, Chapter 4 deals with the theoretical and experimental criticisms in the literature of the effect of the Cheshire Cat that is defined in the framework of weak measurement

Model-based systems engineering (MBSE) is an enterprising systems engineering methodology, which in replacing traditional, document-centric systems engineering methods, has the potential to reduce project costs, time, effort and risk. The potential benefits of applying MBSE on a project are widely discussed but are largely anecdotal. Throughout the System Engineering and Project Management industries, there is a strong desire to quantify these benefits, particularly within organizations that are looking to apply it to their complex, system of systems projects. The objective of this thesis was to quantify the benefits that model-based systems engineering presents, particularly in terms of project cost estimates. In order to quantify this qualitative data, statistical analysis was conducted on collected perceptions from industry experts and professionals. The results of this work led to identifying future research that should be completed in order to make MBSE an industry-wide standard for the development and estimation of projects.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Les résultats de mesures quantiques sont généralement considérés comme aléatoires, mais leur nature aléatoire, malgré son importance dans la théorie de l’information quantique, est mal comprise. Dans cette thèse, nous étudions plusieurs problèmes liés à l’origine et la certification de l’aléatoire et l’imprévisibilité quantique. L’un des résultats clés dans la formation de notre compréhension de la mécanique quantique comme théorie intrinsèquement indéterministe est le théorème de Kochen et Specker, qui démontre l’impossibilité d’attribuer simultanément, de façon cohérente, des valeurs définies et non-contextuelles à chaque observable avant la mesure. Cependant, si nous présumons qu’une observable à valeur définie doit être non-contextuelle, alors lethéorème ne montre que le fait qu’il existe au moins une observable à valeur indéfinie. Nous renforçons ce résultat en démontrant une variante du théorème de Kochen et Specker qui montre que si un système est préparé dans un état quelconque j i, alors chaque observable A est à valeur indéfinie sauf si j i est un état propre de A. La nature indéterministe de la mesure quantique n’explique pas bien la différence de qualité entre l’aléatoire quantique et classique. Soumise à certaines hypothèses physiques, nous montrons qu’une suite de bits produite par la mesure des observables à valeurs indéfinies est garantie, dans la limite infinie, d’être fortement incalculable. De plus, nous discutons comment utiliser ces résultats afin de construire un générateur quantique de nombres aléatoires qui est certifié par des observables à valeurs indéfinies. Dans la dernière partie de cette thèse, nous étudions la notion d’imprévisibilité, qui est au coeur du concept d’aléatoire (quantique). Ce faisant, nous proposons un modèle formel de (im)prévisibilité qui peut servir à évaluer la prévisibilité d’expériences physiques arbitraires. Ce modèle est appliqué aux mesures quantiques afin de comprendre comment la valeur indéfinie et la complémentarité quantique peuvent être utilisées pour certifier différents degrés d’imprévisibilité, et nous démontrons ainsi que le résultat d’une seule mesure d’une observable à valeur indéfinie est formellement imprévisible. Enfin, nous étudions la relation entre cette notion d’imprévisibilité et la certification de l’incalculabilité des suites aléatoires quantiquesThe outcomes of quantum measurements are generally considered to be random, but despite the fact that this randomness is an important element in quantum information theory, its nature is not well understood. In this thesis, we study several issues relating to the origin and certification of quantum randomness and unpredictability. One of the key results in forming our understanding of quantum mechanics as an intrinsically indeterministic theory is the Kochen-Specker theorem, which shows the impossibility to consistently assign simultaneous noncontextual definite values to all quantum mechanical observables prior to measurement. However, the theorem, under the assumption that any definite values must be noncontextual, only strictly shows that some observables must be value indefinite. We strengthen this result, proving a stronger variant of the Kochen-Specker theorem showing that, under the same assumption, if a system is prepared in an arbitrary state j i, then every observable A is value indefinite unless j i is an eigenstate of A. The indeterministic nature of quantum measurements does little to explain how the quality of quantum randomness differs from classical randomness. We show that, subject to certain physical assumptions, a sequence of bits generated by the measurement of value indefinite observables is guaranteed, in the infinite limit, to be strongly incomputable. We further discuss how this can be used to build a quantum random number generator certified by value indefiniteness. Next, we study the notion of unpredictability, which is central to the concept of (quantum) randomness. In doing so, we propose a formal model of prediction that can be used to asses the predictability of arbitrary physical experiments. We investigate how the quantum features of value indefiniteness and complementarity can be used to certify different levels of unpredictability, and show that the outcome of a single measurement of a value indefinite quantum observable is formally unpredictable. Finally, we study the relation between this notion of unpredictability and the computability-theoretic certification of quantum randomness

Questa tesi, strutturata in tre articoli interconnessi, mira a fornire una migliore interpretazione del fenomeno delle Fondazioni d’Impresa nella prospettiva del Valore Condiviso, delineando quanto queste organizzazioni possano rivelarsi idonee a creare valore sia per la società sia per le imprese, rispondendo contemporaneamente alle esigenze di molteplici stakeholders.
Il primo articolo, attraverso l’analisi della letteratura riguardante le Fondazioni d’Impresa e la teoria del Valore Condiviso, analizza in profondità le caratteristiche più innovative di queste organizzazioni, prendendo poi in considerazione alcuni aspetti potenzialmente interessanti da analizzare.
Il secondo articolo presenta uno studio esplorativo finalizzato a verificare come gli interessi dell’impresa fondatrice influenzino il modello organizzativo, le attività e le tematiche affrontate dalle Fondazioni d’Impresa. L’articolo propone una rinnovata classificazione delle Fondazione d’Impresa, che introduce un modello innovativo, il cosiddetto Edifier, e sottolinea quali campo di attività sono più appropriati a seconda degli interessi delle imprese fondatrici.
Il terzo articolo, infine, è volto a indagare in profondità i legami che intercorrono tra Imprese Fondatrici e Fondazioni d’Impresa, con una particolare attenzione ai meccanismi attraverso i quali l’impresa può influenzare l’efficacia delle attività della Fondazione. L’articolo mette in evidenza come l'adozione di un modello di trasferimento delle conoscenze possa avere una notevole influenza in termini di efficacia, con conseguenze rilevanti in termini di proattività, competenze ed efficacia della Fondazione.This thesis, structured in three logically interconnected papers, aims at achieving a better understanding of the phenomenon of Corporate Foundations (CFs) under a Shared Value Perspective, by determining that these organizations are suitable for creating value for both society and firms, and for addressing multiple stakeholders’ needs. The first paper, through a review of the literature researching on CFs and on Shared Value, analyses in depth the most innovative characteristics of these organizations, and attempts to consider some potentially interesting issues to be stressed, coherently with the perspective adopted. The second paper presents an exploratory study aimed at verifying how the interests of the founder firm influence the model, activities and issues addressed by CFs. The paper proposes a classification of CFs introducing an innovative model, the so-called edifier, and underlines which field of activities are more appropriate according to the objective of the firms. The third paper is aimed at investigating in depth the ties connecting Founder Firms and CFs, with a special attention to the mechanisms through which a firm can impact CF’s effectiveness. The paper puts in evidence that the adoption of a model has a substantial influence on effectiveness, with many consequences on the proactivity, competences and social influence of CFs.

Produktiviteten inom byggbranschen har länge ansetts som låg och byggbolag i sektorn arbetar för att bli effektivare. Denna rapport syftar till att utreda hur informationsflödet vid grundläggning av betongpålar kan effektiviseras. Studien utgår ifrån Skanska Sverige ABs region Skanska Grundläggning som bland annat bedriver betongpålningsverksamheten inom företaget. För att skapa en förståelse för informationsflödet inom verksamheten behövde författarna kartlägga de befintliga arbetssätten som används idag. Målsättningen var sedan att utifrån det nuvarande tillståndet formulera ett framtida tillstånd med en ökad effektivitet i informationsflödet. Inom byggsektorn implementeras BIM på bred front och detta arbetssätt utreds i rapporten som en möjlighet till ett förbättrat informationsflöde. För att kartlägga betongpålningsproduktionen inom företaget har metoden värdeflödesanalys använts. Metoden är ett sätt att kartlägga en specifik process, där produkten som kunden vill ha följs. Analysen har sitt ursprung från Toyotas arbetssätt som idag benämns som lean. Kartläggningen av betongpålning i rapporten hade sin start vid transport från fabrik och slut vid när pålen lämnats över till kunden. I kartläggningen följer författarna materialflödet samt informationsflödet knutet till materialet under förädlingsprocessen. Insamlingen av data till kartläggningen gjordes genom en intervjustudie och en observationsstudie. För att förstå möjligheten till implementeringar utfördes även en enkätstudie och intervjustudie, angående utnyttjandet av BIM inom Skanska Grundläggning. Användningen av BIM inom organisationen skiljde sig mellan de olika yrkesgrupperna, tjänstemän och yrkesarbetare. Enkätstudien utfördes på fem projekt i Stockholmsområdet. Bland tjänstemännen arbetade 8 av 19 med BIM varje vecka eller oftare medan 16 av 17 yrkesarbetare aldrig arbetat med BIM. Resultaten till värdeflödesanalysen var hämtade från två projekt, FSE 105 Betongtunnel Kungens kurva och Trafikplats Vega. Utifrån resultaten formulerades två förbättringsområden, där utsättning genom maskinstyrning var det ena och digitalisering av dokumentation var det andra. Implementeringen av GPS-styrning på pålkranar behöver inte lång tid för att löna sig ekonomiskt. Utifrån resultaten kan ca 170,000 SEK sparas per år och maskin om maskinstyrning implementeras, samt att det finns ytterligare positiva effekter som framkommit men inte uppmäts i denna studie. Det finns dock hinder i användarvänligheten och tekniken kräver idag manuell handpåläggning i vissa moment. För utvecklingen av BIM hos medarbetarna finns stora vinster genom förenklade informationsflöden men också svårigheter eftersom en stor del av medarbetarna idag blir hindrade av tekniken.Productivity in the construction industry has for a long time been considered as low compared to other industries. The construction industry has started to adapt strategies that have been successful in other industries to increase the productivity. This report aims to examine how the information flow during foundation of concrete piles can be more efficient. The study is based on Skanska Sweden AB for the region of Skanska foundation. Concrete piling is one of the foundation activities that Skanska foundation performs. To create an understanding about the information flow, the authors had to identify the existing working method that was used today. The aim was then based on the current state to formulate a future state with a greater efficiency in the flow of information. BIM has begun to be implemented as a working method in the construction sector and have therefore been investigated in the report as an opportunity for an improved flow of information. To identify the production process for concrete piling within the company the authors have used value stream mapping. The method is a way of mapping a specific process, where the product that the customer wants is followed. The analysis originating from Toyotas method which today is referred to as lean. The mapping of concrete piling started from the transport of the factory to the pile was handed over to the customer. During the mapping the authors follows the material flow and the information flow related to the material during the process. The collection of data for the value stream mapping was done based on interviews and observations. To understand the possibility of implementations carried out a questionnaire and interviews, regarding the use of BIM in Skanska foundation. The use of BIM within the organization differs between the different professional groups, civil servants and skilled workers. The questionnaire survey was conducted on five projects in the Stockholm area. Among civil servants eight of 19 worked with BIM weekly or more often, while 16 of 17 skilled workers never had worked with BIM at all. The results of value stream analysis were collected from the two projects, the FSE 105 Concrete tunnel at Kungens kurva and interchange Vega. Based on the results the authors have formulated two areas of improvements. The first improvement is about release measuring through machine control and the second are about digitization of documents. Implementation of machine control on a pile driver does not need a long time to pay off financially. From the results, about 170,000 SEK can be saved per year and machine if machine control would be implemented on the pile drivers. There are more positive effects that have been observed during the study but these effects have not been measured. However, there are obstacles in the usability and technology today that require manual intervention at certain stages. For the development of BIM among the employees there are great gains through simplified information flow. With that there comes difficulties since a large proportion of employees is hindered by technology.

A diminuição das perdas hídricas com a redução das pressões de operação das redes de distribuição é um fenômeno conhecido há muito tempo pelas companhias de saneamento e distribuição de água. Entre as técnicas empregadas para esta finalidade, a setorização apresenta-se, atualmente, como um dos instrumentos mais efetivos de melhoria e otimização dos serviços de abastecimento. A setorização consiste na separação do sistema de abastecimento hídrico urbano em distritos denominados zonas pitométricas, com o objetivo geral de estabelecer um controle mais efetivo das pressões e das vazões de água destas zonas. A ampla difusão desta técnica, no entanto, não seria possível sem a evolução tecnológica dos elementos chave, necessários à implementação deste método de controle de abastecimento hídrico urbano. Visando subsidiar o desenvolvimento de técnicas para problemas enfrentados na setorização de redes de abastecimento hídrico, neste trabalho é relatado um estudo de caso realizado nas dependências da Companhia de Saneamento Básico do Estado de São Paulo (SABESP) por meio do qual são apresentadas soluções implementadas por esta Companhia no decorrer de mais de cinco anos. Este tempo permitiu que os métodos apresentados atingissem o grau de maturação necessário para que fosse estabelecido um modelo de setorização funcional e cada vez mais confiável. Por meio deste estudo são apresentadas, como contribuição original, soluções orientadas à utilização de recursos do protocolo digital Foundation Fieldbus, visando agregar ainda mais autonomia e disponibilidade às instalações do sistema de abastecimento hídrico da superintendência do litoral da referida Companhia e incorporando a este sistema características diferenciais como interoperabilidade, flexibilidade e redundância dos elementos críticos que o compõem.The decrease of the hydric losses with the reduction of the operation pressures of the distribution nets is a phenomenon a long time known for the sanitation and water distribution companies. Among the used techniques for this purpose, the division in sectors technique comes, now, as one of the more effective instruments of improvement and optimization of the supplying services. The division in sectors technique consists in the separation of the hydric urban provisioning system in districts denominated pitometric zones, with the general objective of establishing a more effective control of the water pressures and flows of these zones. The wide diffusion of this technique, however, would not be possible without the technological evolution of the key elements, necessary to carry out this control method of urban hydric supplying. Looking for subsidize the development of techniques for problems faced in the division in sectors technique of hydric provisioning nets, in this work is described a case study, accomplished in the dependences of the Company of Basic Sanitation of the State of São Paulo (SABESP) through which are presented solutions implemented by this Company which has been carried out for more than five years. This time allowed that the methods presented reach the necessary maturation degree so that a functional and each more reliable model of the division in sectors technique would be established. Through this study are presented, as original contribution, proposals guided to the use of resources of the digital protocol Foundation Fieldbus, looking for aggregate yet more autonomy and availability to the facilities of the hydric provisioning system of the coast superintendency of the referred Company and incorporating to this system differentiates characteristics as interoperability, flexibility and redundancy of the critical elements that composes it.

In 1942, Paul C. Rosenbloom put out a definition of a Post algebra after Emil L. Post published a collection of systems of many–valued logic. Post algebras became easier to handle following George Epstein’s alternative definition. As conceived by Rosenbloom, Post algebras were meant to capture the algebraic properties of Post’s systems; this fact was not verified by Rosenbloom nor Epstein and has been assumed by others in the field. In this thesis, the long–awaited demonstration of this oft–asserted assertion is given.
After an elemental history of many–valued logic and a review of basic Classical Propositional Logic, the systems given by Post are introduced. The definition of a Post algebra according to Rosenbloom together with an examination of the meaning of its notation in the context of Post’s systems are given. Epstein’s definition of a Post algebra follows the necessary concepts from lattice theory, making it possible to prove that Post’s systems of many–valued logic do in fact form a Post algebra.

This work examines the construction of the pedagogic discourse in the Nova Escola (New School) magazine, the discoursive procedures utilized in this construction, and the framework of values in which these discourses insert themselves. Thus this work takes as the principle corpus of analysis the periods 1997-1998 and 2011-2012. Emphasizing the analysis of the magazine s editorials, covers and advertisements, this work investigates the effects of meaning that these texts produce based on its discoursive construction. For the description and analysis of the verbal-visual texts, it refers to the French semiotic and its model of analysis of the signification proposed by A. J. Greimas, together with the visual semiotic, with the contributions of J. M. Floch. Its objectives are to design a landscape about the emergence of the magazines and their similarity to the newspaper; to localize the emergence of the Brazilian pedagogic publications; to investigate the emergence and consolidation of the Editora Abril as an expressive communication company; to examine the creation of the Victor Civita Foundation and, lastly, to investigate the teacher simulacrum reiterated and strengthened by the discourse of Nova Escola (New School). The analysis points to the reinforcement of a simulacrum that sees education, specially the first two years, as vocation and mission, stressing the instrumental dimension at the expense of the conceptual. The gender questions are also important; above all by the fact of the woman-teacher simulacrum be continuously reiterated in the discourse of the refered media. In terms of discoursive procedures, the play between objectivity and subjectivity, reinforces the scientific discourse as well as the relation of approximation that the magazine establishes with its readers. Thus, this work verifies the absence of any lexeme that treats the associative and sindical questions related to the teaching profession. The reiteration of the red, in what refers to the visual aspects, and the passionate feature of the texts highlights the verbal-visual discourse of Nova Escola, intrinsically connected to the reinforcement of the love-dedication-education relation
Este trabalho examina a construção do discurso pedagógico na revista Nova Escola, os procedimentos discursivos utilizados nessa construção, e o quadro de valores no qual esses discursos se inserem. Para tanto, toma como corpus principal de análise as edições do quadriênio 1997-1998 e 2011-2012. Com ênfase para a análise dos editoriais, das capas e das publicidades veiculadas por Nova Escola, investiga os efeitos de sentido que esses textos produzem a partir de sua construção discursiva. Utiliza a semiótica francesa e o seu modelo de análise da significação proposto por A. J. Greimas, juntamente com a semiótica visual, com as contribuições de J.-M. Floch, para descrição e análise dos textos verbo-visuais. Objetiva, ainda, traçar um panorama do surgimento das revistas e sua similaridade com o gênero jornal; localizar o surgimento das publicações pedagógicas brasileiras; investigar o surgimento e a consolidação da Editora Abril como expressiva empresa de comunicação; examinar a criação da Fundação Victor Civita e, por fim, investigar o simulacro de professor reiterado e fortalecido pelo discurso de Nova Escola. A análise realizada indica o reforço a um simulacro que vê a docência, principalmente a dos anos iniciais de escolaridade, como vocação e missão, sobrelevando a dimensão instrumental em detrimento da conceitual. As questões de gênero também são importantes, sobretudo pelo fato do simulacro da mulher-professora ser reiterado continuamente no discurso da mídia em questão. Em termos de procedimentos discursivos, o jogo entre objetividade e subjetividade, reforça tanto o discurso científico, quanto a relação de aproximação que a revista instaura com o seu leitor. Verifica-se, pois, a ausência de qualquer lexema que trate das questões associativas e sindicais tendo em vista a profissão docente. A reiteração do vermelho, no que se refere aos aspectos plásticos, e da feição passional dos textos dão a tônica do discurso verbo-visual de Nova Escola, intrinsecamente ligado ao reforço da relação amor-dedicação-educação

Den demografiska förändringen över ålderstrukturen står inför en förändring, där antalet äldre förväntas öka markant. För att äldreomsorgen ska ges möjlighet att tillhanda hålla en god omvårdnad, bör behovet av kompetent personal och en god arbetsmiljö tillgodoses. Syftet med denna undersökning var att skaffa kunskap om vilka möjligheter samt vilka resurser arbetsledare inom äldreomsorgen har för att implementera en god arbetsmiljö. Metoden som använts för denna kvalitativa undersökning var hermeneutisk metod, för att erfara och tolka arbetsledarnas arbetsmiljöarbete. I resultatet av undersökningen framkom att en majoritet av arbetsledarna ansåg att de hade en god arbetsmiljö och resurserna var adekvata, men utifrån intervjuerna kunde det tolkas att arbetsledningen och medarbetarna arbetade mot olika mål. En möjlighet för att implementera en god arbetsmiljö enligt studien, var att skapa en värdegrund som utgår ifrån hälsans bestämningsfaktorer. Ytterligare något som framkom ur undersökningen var att kompetensen borde ökas inom äldreomsorgen för att möt den framtida förändringen.The demographic over the age structure stand before a change, when the elderly people expect to increase considerably. For making it possible for care of the elderly and to provide a good form of health care should the need for competent staff and work environment be satisfactory. The purpose of this study was to examine which possibility and which facilities work leaders have to implement a healthy work environment. The method that was used in this qualitative research was hermeneutic method, to examine and interpret work leaders work environments work. In the results of this study it emerged that a majority of the work leaders meant that they had a good work environment and adequate facilities, but from the interviews could it be interpreted that the management and coworkers worked towards different goals. In the study it emerged that the foundation of values should be from the determinants of health, and these values can be a possibility to implement a healthy work environment within the care of the elderly. Another finding in the study was that the competence within care of elderly should increase, to encounter the future changed demands on care of elderly.

This study was carried out in Backaryd’s church following a proposal from Ankdammen konsult. Backaryd’s church was built more than 200 years ago in Ronneby municipality in Blekinge County. Due to changes in heating methods and energy requirements since the church was built, the church today does not meet the energy and comfort requirements of today’s buildings. The study of the Backaryd’s church aims to investigate the floor construction in the church and to find out what factors may be at risk of moisture damage. The study will analyse the church and mainly the condition of the crawl space. In addition, some improvement measures will be proposed to get a comfortable heating inside the church with an appropriate energy use. Both law and society place high requirements on the preservation of valuable and cultural-historical buildings for future generations. In addition, any changes to churches that have been built before 1939 must be approved by the county administrative board.Results from the study show that relative humidity does not reach critical levels either in the crawl space or the church room. There are also no injuries such as mold and rot attacks on the structure. The inventory is of good quality and lacks damage such as cracks and rots.The writers have come up with the following improvement measures:● An annual entertainment of water management systems in crawl space. ● Cover the stone walls with plastic wrap on the inside and make them as dense as possible. ● Place the base of the panty bottom from below up against the floor beam. ● Insulate the floor structure with mineral wool. ● Place a plastic wrap all over the ground in the crawl space. ● install a dehumidifier.Studien har genomförts i Backaryds kyrka efter ett förslag från Ankdammen konsult. Backaryd kyrka byggdes för drygt 200 år sedan i Ronneby kommun i Blekinge län. Med anledning av att uppvärmningsmetoder och energikrav förändrats sen kyrkan byggdes uppfyller kyrkan idag inte de komfort och energikrav som ställs på dagens byggnader. För att skapa förutsättningar för att kyrkan ska kunna bevaras och brukas även i framtiden krävs underhåll och restaurering. Studien av Backaryds kyrkan syftar till att undersöka golvkonstruktionen i kyrkan och även till att ta reda på vilka faktorer som kan leda till fuktskador. I studien har analyser av kyrkans och främst krypgrundens skick genomförts. Dessutom kommer några förbättringsåtgärder att föreslås för att få en god komfort inne i kyrka med en lämplig energiförbrukning. Förbättringsåtgärderna är framtagna med hänsyn till att bevara så mycket som möjligt av den ursprungliga konstruktionen och för att kunna använda det ursprungliga trägolvet. Både lagen och samhället ställer höga krav för bevarandet av värdefulla och kulturhistoriska byggnader till kommande generationer. Kyrkan är skyddad av Kulturmiljölagen och får därför inte ändras så att det kulturhistoriska värdet minskas eller att utseendet och karaktär förvanskas (SFS 1988:950). Dessutom måste alla ändringar av kyrkor som uppförts innan 1939 godkännas av länsstyrelsen.Resultat från studien visar att den relativa fuktigheten inte når kritiska nivåer varken i krypgrunden eller kyrkorummet. Det finns heller inga skador så som mögel- och rötangrepp på konstruktionen. Inventarierna håller en god kvalitet och saknar skador så som sprickor och röta.Skribenterna har kommit fram till följande förbättringsåtgärder:● En årlig underhållning av vattenledningssystem i krypgrunden. ● Täcka stenmurar med plastfolie på insidan för att göra det så lufttät och fukttät som möjligt. ● Placera trossbotten underifrån upp mot golvbjälklaget. ● Isolera golvbjälklaget med mineralull. ● Placera en plastfolie över hela marken i krypgrunden. ● Installera avfuktare i krypgrunden.

Following paper deals with the questions about prehistorian and medieval settlements in the Mälar Valley and their relations to the historically known hamlets or single farmsteads from the 17th- and 18th-century cadastral maps. Models over settlement development through the period A.D 200 to 1700 done by geographers Ulf Sporrong and Dan Carlsson are tested and compared to the knowledge won by recent archaeological excavations. Is there a connection between the older settlements linked together by dry-stone walls and the late Iron Age settlements? Does the picture differ from the one presented for the Gotland region? How well are the general theories about different settlement development depending on basic natural conditions as for the potentials for cultivation and topography, corresponding to the physical remains? Are there other factors involved when the settlement structure takes its form?
The methods that are used here constitutes mainly of a comparison between different locations in the Mälar Valley that has got a well known prehistory thanks to extensive archaeological excavations. Cadastral maps, soilmaps, topography maps and maps over ancient monuments are intertwined to the same map and analyzed through works in Geographical information systems.
The results of this study reveal an interesting suspicion in the continuity-question through the Iron Age. Certain settlements seem to be more stable than what was earlier assumed in the general models. This occurrence of continuous use of sites must also be seen in a spatial context and not only a pattern formed by randomly chosen locations. The research has shown that it may be connected to the local political power in the Iron Age community. Related to this are also the different settlement forms where more than one unit occurs on a site. Concerning the different natural landscapes both disparities and similarities are found when it comes to the development that precedes the given situation on the cadastral maps. The conclusion is that the recent archaeological excavations definitely have shown us a more complex situation than what was once outlined in the early years of landscape archaeology.

The aim of this study was fourfold. Firstly the nature of training for Foundation Phase student
teachers in Life Skills had to be determined. Secondly, the outcomes for Life Skills training for
Foundation Phase student teachers had to be ascertained. Thirdly, effective teaching-learning
methods for training had to be identified to achieve outcomes in the most effective way. New
methods of presentation and assessment had to be exploited to address the new challenge of
reduced contact time. Lastly, the nature of Life Skills training at other higher teaching institutions
in South Africa had to be determined so that general outcomes and guidelines for effective
training of Foundation Phase student teachers in Life Skills could be established.
A literature study was done to determine the nature of Life Skills for Foundation Phase student
teachers. Four outcomes were identified were identified from this study, namely health
promotion, promotion of the environment, development of human potential and the promotion of
moral, cultural and religious values as main components of Life Skills.
In addition a literature study was done on effective teaching-learning methods which should be
applied to ensure effective Life Skills training for student teachers. The four most important
components or essential features that should be considered during the facilitation of Life Skills
for Foundation Phase student teachers, namely the lecturer, student, learning environment as
well as the aim of teaching, including teaching content and assessment were set out.
After questionnaires regarding the nature of training for Foundation Phase student teachers in
Life Skills were sent to institutions for higher education and the responses were statistically
analysed, it was possible to make a number of findings and recommendations. From the
empirical research it became clear that the identified outcomes were also valued and applied by
lecturers at other institutions for higher education. Furthermore, it became apparent that active
teaching learning-methods and self-regulated learning are valued as important aspects of
effective teacher training. Skills should not only be practised during contact sessions, but
learning environments should be extended. It should include a variety of contexts like
community service, practical teaching experience at schools under supervision of mentors as
well exposure to diverse and multicultural teaching learning-environments.
By effective planning and organising, it is possible for lecturers to guide students to become self regulated
and effective learners within the context of reduced contact time.Thesis (M. Ed.)--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2005.

My dissertation articulates and defends a vision of liberal political theory grounded in genuine value pluralism. Value pluralism, I argue, is best understood as a thesis about the nature of values, not as an observation about the diversity of evaluative beliefs that individuals hold. It should be understood as the claim that values themselves are plural and not all mutually realizable in a single life. Accepting this account of value pluralism offers significant challenges to traditional liberal political theories. However, value pluralism also has wide-ranging, and often surprising, advantages in explaining key tenets of liberal political theory. My dissertation explains the significant advantages of genuine value pluralism while responding to the most pressing challenges it poses.

This study investigates how actor status, moral foundations theory and Schwartz values influence the moral judgments of guilt and punishment. I argue that to understand individual values consequences for actions, they must be considered within organizational values and larger institutional logics frameworks. Building off Zerubavel’s conception of a three level cognition (Zerubavel 1999), I argue for a tri level conception of values and morality in order to more fully understand how moral judgements work as well as the social context in which they are shaped. Using original research, I offer evidence of three levels of morality. First, I evaluate actor status on judgments of guilt and punishment. I then evaluate individual moral culture using Schwartz Values (Schwartz 2012; Vaisey and Miles 2014). I evaluate the impact of the organization on moral culture measure through the use of status hierarchies (Sauder, Lynn, and Podolny 2012). Finally, I evaluate broader cultural morality using Moral Foundations Theory (Graham et al. 2016; Kesebir and Haidt 2010). Taken together, these three levels of morality present a more ecologically valid understanding of the ways in which moral culture works from the individual, through the meso-social level and to the broader culture. I demonstrate the complex ways in which moral judgments are influenced by universal concerns, organizational influences and individual characteristics. I find that moral foundations theory conceptions of harm does not predict judgments of guilt and punishment but that Schwartz Values do influence these moral judgments. I also find that it is the actor status that most strongly predicts the outcomes of guilt and punishment. The research provides a foundation for future research of how actor status influences moral judgments of guilt and punishment beyond the limited moral community of the current study.

Nowadays, personal appearance and image are important during the social contact. People can enhance or improve their own appearance using simple skin beauty. In addition, the use of makeup products should be recommended in order to have a much better rubicundity and to look high-spirited. A great number of color cosmetics such as lipsticks, foundations, mascaras, eyeshadows, and eyeliners were commercially available. Among these makeup products, foundations are the most primary. The main function of foundation creams is in its ability to hide skin flaws, leave the skin surface appear smoother, and modify skin color in face. It is well known that wherever a foundation is useful for complexions and skin smooth or not is determined by their qualities. However, there is a little publication on the influence of varying makeup bases on physicochemical properties. This had led to the development of elegant foundations. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the influence of various kinds of makeup bases such as thickener, colorants, titanium oxide and sunscreen agents on the storage stability and the sunburn protection of foundation products. In order to formulate a emulsion base, we selected sorbitan olivate with w/o type (Olivem 900) as a emulsifier and seven ingredients, MgSO4、NaCl、Silica、Bentonite、HEC、Xanthan Gum、and Veegum as thickeners. And then three chemical UV filters, OMC (Octyl Methoxy Cinnamate), Octocrylene（OCT） and P1789 (4-Tert-Butyl Methoxy Dibenzoyl Methane) were selected because they were the most widely used UV filters which were approved. In the first study, we search for an optimum w/o emulsion. In the second experiment, we performed studies using the incorporation of colorants and/or various kinds of TiO2 and/or UV filters at varying level into the W/O emulsion. Their physicochemical properties including viscosity, rheological behavior, and physical changes were evaluated and the sunburn protection was tested by Labsphere‘s UV-1000s transmittance analyzer (according to Food and Drug administration method). Moreover, the stability in color was measured using CIE-L, a, b system and determined as the difference between the colors observed in the foundations before and after accelerated test. In relating to physicochemical properties, the results showed that the incorporation of colorant or PROPA TiO2/DM (powder form) into the w/o emulsion can result in the increasing instability of the dispersion system. When the powder TiO2 was replaced with sunclear T40 (oily form), foundations with an aesthetic appearance were obtained and there are acceptable physicochemical properties. We have demonstrated that all the obtained products had pseudoplastic behavior which produces a coherent protective film covering the skin surface with evenly distributed functional ingredients. In the presence of sunclear T40 (oily form) foundations with or without UV filters exhibited a reasonable stability, but P1789 can easily cause the sedimentation of a colored precipitant in the dispersed system. Their storage stability was up to 28 days after accelerated test. Regarding to the stability in color, the results showed that total color change (ΔE) of all the foundations is below 1.41. Obviously, the color change is invisible. On the other hand, the sun protection factor (SPF) of all the foundations was measured. These results indicate that the SPF values were well correlating with the amounts of colorants, titanium oxide, and the used UV filters. The SPF value of the foundations increase with increasing level of colorants or TiO2. Incorporating single colorants and incorporation single TiO2 provide correlation coefficient of r=0.9999 and r=0.9724, respectively. But a combination of colorants with TiO2 had a lower correlation coefficient of r=0.9546. And then the incorporation of UV filters into the foundations contributed much higher SPF value. However, in order to avoid the foundations unstable and to cause skin irritant, total amount of the used UV filter should be limited to 4% in foundations. At the same time, it is noticed that oily TiO2 need to be used instead of powder TiO2 in order to ascertain the optimization of the foundations. Based on these findings, a desired foundation was obtained. With high SPF of 94.61, good stability at 45℃ testing for 28 days, and esthetic appearance, it is composed of Olivem 900 4%, Stearic acid 1.5%, Mineral oil 3%, DM 5 2.5%, Finsolv TN 3%, Cyclopentasiloxane 10%, UNIPHEN P-23 0.3%, W 712 7%, Sunclear T40 15%, Octyl Methoxy Cinnamate 2%, Octocrylene 2%, 1,3-Butylene Glycol 2.5%, Glycerin 2.5%, Bentonite 1.0%, Xanthan Gum 1.0%, D.W. 43.9%。

This thesis shall clarify how the German phenomenologist Max Scheler (1874-1928) attempts to give his ethics a thorough foundation, and how this foundation gives view to peculiar problems of ethics. The main focus of this investigation, of course, is his most important work, Formalismus in der Ethik und die materiale Wertethik. Neuer Versuch der Grundlegung eines ethischen Personalismus. Since Scheler asserts that his ethics is based on phenomenology, the author shall first provide a brief outline of Scheler''s understanding of phenomenology. Then he shall explain how Scheler uses phenomenology to display the two main concepts of his ethics, "value" and "person", and work out how their internal relationship could provide a foundation for ethical investigations. Finally, the thesis shall explain how the two concepts bring the following problems into view: the objective individual good, the relativity of morals, and the principle of solidarity. In the conclusion, further research that would be necessary for defending and broadening Scheler''s ethical thought shall be indicated.

ABSTRACT
The study aims at establishing whether Foundation Phase schooling provides a proper
foundation for the promotion of scientific literacy. Natural Science in the Foundation
Phase is understood as scientific knowledge, process skills, and values and attitudes,
which together should foster scientific literacy. Influential perspectives on learning, and
teaching methods appropriate to Natural Science education in the Foundation Phase,
are reviewed, and the Natural Science Learning Area in the RNCS discussed in the
context of global trends in curriculum development. Finally the findings of an empirical
survey on the perceptions of Foundation Phase teachers with regard to Natural Science
teaching and learning, are presented.
Major findings include the following: (1) Scientific literacy is currently not a curriculum
priority in the Foundation Phase, due mainly to meagre time allocation and lack of
applicable Learning Outcomes. (2) Although teachers appear predominantly positive
towards the Learning Area, significant shortcomings need to be addressed before
Natural Science teaching in the Foundation Phase may claim to provide the required
basis for promoting scientific literacy.
OPSOMMING
Die studie poog om vas te stel of Grondslagfase-onderrig `n geskikte basis lê vir die
bevordering van wetenskaplike geletterdheid. Natuurwetenskappe in die Grondslagfase
word beskou as `n kombinasie van wetenskaplike kennis, prosesvaardighede, en waardes en ingesteldhede, wat gesamentlik wetenskaplike geletterdheid ten doel het. Invloedryke perspektiewe op leer, en gepaste onderrigmetodes vir die effektiewe fasilitering van Natuurwetenskappe-onderrig in die Grondslagfase word onder die loep geneem voordat die Natuurwetenskappe-leerarea in die Hersiene Nasionale Kurrikulumverklaring bespreek word binne die konteks van wêreldwye neigings in
kurrikulumontwikkeling. Laastens rapporterr die studie die bevindinge van `n empiriese
ondersoek na die persepsies van Grondslagfase-onderwysers rakende Natuurwetenskaponderrig
en -leer. Belangrike bevinding sluit in: (1) Die bevordering van wetenskaplike geletterdheid word
nie as kurrikulumprioriteit in die Grondslagfase beskou word nie, soos blyk uit die karige
toedeling van tyd en aantal leeruitkomste aan die Natuurwetenskappe-leerarea op hierdie vlak. (2) Alhoewel onderwysers se persepsies rakende Natuurwetenskaponderrig en -leer oorwegend positief blyk te wees, is daar ernstige tekortkominge wat aangespreek moet word voordat Natuurwetenskappe-onderrig in die Grondslagfase die vereiste grondslag sal kan lê vir die bevordering van wetenskaplike geletterdheid.Educational Studies

The purpose of this study is to research Wanluan Community YaoKangDaZheng Foundation participants’ leisure motivations, values, and aspects of satisfaction. The study used scale questionnaires as the research tool and purposive sampling as the research method. In total 400 questionnaires were sent out, and 386 questionnaires were retrieved, giving 96.5% retrieval rate. After the data were collected, they were analyzed by utilizing Descriptive Statistical Analysis, Independent Sample T Test, One-way ANOVA, Scheffe's Posterior Comparisons, Related Analysis, and Multiple Linear Regression. The results as follows: a. Among Wanluan Community YaoKangDaZheng Foundation participants, the biggest motivation was to maintain physical fitness. They regarded social value the most, and emphasized on how relaxed they feel when it comes to aspects of satisfaction. b. Personal background of the participants was an important factor throughout the study, which caused significant differences in each section. For motivations, gender, occupation, and the regular riding partners influenced the social needs, while education level influenced the needs for physical fitness. Salary also determined the motivation, whether it was for physical fitness, social needs, or the experience. As for the value, occupation influenced the physical and mental value, and gender influenced the social value. Education level and the regular riding partners also notably affected both above values. Regarding the aspects of satisfaction, occupation had an impact on social aspect, education level influenced physical and mental aspect, while regular riding partners affected social aspect and relaxing aspect. c. There was a noticeable positive correlation between Wanluan Community YaoKangDaZheng Foundation participants’ leisure motivations and its values. The motivations also positively correlated to the aspects of satisfaction. At the same time, the values positively correlated to the aspects of satisfaction as well. d. There were 6 variables chosen from the participation motivations and the values after operating multiple regression analysis. Four main factors showed significant correlation and were selected based on the analysis: social value, physical and mental value, tension release, and social needs. The variability was 67.7%. Research conclusion: Leisure motivations and values can predict biking participants’ satisfaction level. Biking is recommended to the public as a leisure activity, especially with family and friends. It can not only improve leisure value, but also show higher satisfaction. The foundation can host more relating events, combining with diverse elements, and customizing distances and routes for different age groups. In addition, the government can promote more about the benefits of biking and design more biking routes, in order to create a better biking environment.

The goal of this study is to understand the consumer behavior in cosmetic field, thus, foundation, one of the most popular item of cosmetic was chosen as study taget. Due to the phenomenon of extensive price range of foundation product, price perceptions have became the main theme of this study, as trying to empirically examine the influence of materialism, individualism, hedonism on price perceptions; Furthermore, the influence of price perceptions on external search behavior via situation involvement and enduring involvement was examined empirically as well. Summing up all the casual relationships of constructs above, the theory model of this study was formed, then, structural equation modeling was adopted for hypotheses testing. According to the results, materialism will positively influence prestige sensitivity and value consciousness; Individualism will positively influence value consciousness and negatively influence prestige sensitivity; Hedonism will positively influence sale proneness, price mavenism and price consciousness. In addition, both prestige sensitivity and price mavenism will positively influence enduring involvement; Sale proneness, price consciousness and value consciousness will all positively influence situational involvement. Furthermore, enduring involvement, situational involvement and price mavenism will all positively influence search effort; Enduring involvement will positively influence search of neutral source; Situational involvement will positively influence search of media source; Enduring involvement will positively influence situational involvement. According to the empirical results, this study verified that different values will drive consumers’ attitude toward price into variety; Furthermore, different attitudes toward price will drive consumers to take distinct action on external search behavior as well. Thus, in order to establish an appropriate product price or marketing message, marketing managers should take the values of target customers into account on the process of planning pricing strategy or integrated marketing communication; Besides that, in order to increase the effectiveness of marketing campaign, marketing managers should adjust the channel of transmitting marketing message base on target customers’ attitude toward price.

Issue initiating and value maintaining are important functions of Non-Profit Organizations（NPOs）. Through the process of public service, NPOs deeply idenfity the need of their serving objects. NPOs also affect general public by initiating issues, thus making people recognize and support their principles. NPOs make government to consider minority’s right and public interest while making decision, budgeting, and legislating. Therefore, the problems of social unfairness and irrationality, and unbalanced system can be reformed. Through the issue initiating of Mother Ke (Ke Tsai Yu-Xion), Legislative Yuan passed the “Act of Car Liability Insurance” in 1996. After John Tung Foundation had initiated non-smoking activity over a long period of time, the ”Act of Preventing the damage of Smoking” was finally passed by Legislative Yuan in 1997. Even Judy Williams, an American who integrated over 1300 NGOs and NPOs in 60 countries, initiated the “Global Anti-Landmine Treaty” in 1997 at Ottawa, Canada. The treaty was signed by 122 countries to stop landmine manufacturing, storage, and usage. This paper selects the Hondao Welfare Foundation as research object to identify strategy of issue initiating, value maintaining, pragmatic operation, and systematic model of NPOs by analyzing their operation model. 1. Conclusions. (1) Issue initiating can accomplish the purpose and mission of NPOs. (2) Developing public authority is the way to operate NPOs eternally. (3) The problem of elders will be a serious challenge to the society in the future. (4) Linkage of volunteers may resolve the manpower problems of NPOs. 2. Recommendations (1) Encouraging “Family with Three Generations” to resolve partial elder problem. (2) Government should evaluate the possibility of subsidizing the interest of foundation’s certificate of deposit. (3) Social volunteer service to be included in college courses. (4) Expanding the system of “postponing prosecution of moderate crime and switching to public service instead.”

This study describes and analyses lay training programmes at Mindolo Ecumenical Foundation (MEF) with emphasis on: Women's Training; Conference, Research and Development; and Youth Leadership. Mindolo is seen as an expression of the church's presence in society and a symbol of hope, peace and reconciliation. Lay training programmes at Mindolo aim at equipping Christians to act as 'leaven', salt and 'light' in society. The values and morals of
the African people could be the basis of such teaching.
The study discusses how the term 'laity' has negative implications such as regarding the laity as non-competent or specialist because they are not priests or theologians. It illustrates that although the majority of Christians are women, leadership in the church is dominated by men.
The study illustrates how critical it is for Mindolo to evaluate its original vision in light of current challenges and promises.Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology

This dissertation is an inquiry into the concept of value creation, motivated by a need for orientation in our demanding times. Based on the idea that true value only arises out of human (inter)subjective evaluations, we apply a psychological perspective on individual and collective value creation, thereby investigating a micro-foundation of value, as well as its application and operationalization.
The dissertation is a cumulative dissertation that begins with an introductory chapter followed by four independent, yet connected studies. In Study 1, we develop a conceptual foundation for all other studies that involves a micro-foundation of value and value awareness as the competency to recognize fundamental evaluation categories as relevant. In Study 2, we conceptually delineate organizational public value and organizational reputation, two concepts of strategic relevance to organizations, that share similarities, but differ in fundamental dimensions. In Study 3 we operationalize value awareness through a practice-oriented instrument that helps individuals reflect, understand and develop their value awareness. In Study 4, we empirically investigate the link of an organization’s corporate social responsibility and work addiction via work meaningfulness and organizational identification, as well as value awareness.
The studies are diverse and have multiple implications for research and practice. Overall, we suggest that individuals and collective entities should develop and operationalize their consideration of value creation on the level of (inter)subjective human experience. To realize actual value creation, many additional factors are important, but more value awareness could play a central role in increasing the chances of finding and creating more value for ourselves, others, and society as a whole.:INTRODUCTION

With Taiwan’s economic growth and social development, non-profit organizations grow gradually. Non-profit organizations cover many types, including schools, foundations and religion groups. Among the past relative studies, most of them focus on management, fundraising strategy or marketing strategy. And most of them take the institution view as initial point and less takes subscriber view. So this study to take, tries donors view to proceed the research. Different characteristics of non-profit organizations may lead to greatly different outcomes, so this study decides to take the donors of charity institutions as it object. McCort regards subscribers’ donations as the important source for a non-profit organization to finish missions. Understanding the future behavior intention of subscribers will help institutions’ fundraising. To encourage people’s long-term donations, charity institutions must make people have positive impression on them. Berry and Parasuraman think better service quality is easier to maintain long-term relationships with customers. Boulding regards image as a factor to affect their behavior intentions. Sirdeshmukh thinks trust can lead customers’ long-term loyalty. Lapierre regards increase in customer value will result in customer loyalty. The points proposed by the above researchers are outcomes from buyer-seller relationships or from general consumer behavior. This research tries to transform these points to charity institutions to find out if we can get the same outcome. This study use LISREL as exploratory tool of cause and effect model and research hypotheses. After model fitting, the outcomes are as followings. First, There is no significantly positive relationship between service quality and trust but there is significantly positive relationship between service quality and subscriber’s perceived value. Second, significantly positive relationship exists between business image and trust. Third, personal characteristic has positive effect not only on trust but also on subscriber’ perceived value. Fourth, there are significantly positive relationships among trust, subscriber’ perceived value and behavioral intention. Fifth, service quality, image and personal characteristic have indirect effect on behavior intention by trust and subscriber’ perceived value. Besides, from the analysis of variance on the donor, this study gets the following outcomes. First, because of different religion beliefs, subscribers have different views of Tzuchi’s trust, image and future behavioral intention. Second, subscribers’ religions affect their intentions to become volunteers. Third, subscribers of different age have different intentions to become volunteers.

Previous empirical studies of the discussion of “customer value” and “relationship quality” mainly focused on various industry-level profit-making enterprises, but rarely concentrated in the context of non-profit organizations (NPOs). However, as competition getting intensified in business sectors, NOPs are also facing fierce contest in acquiring their financial funds. The major source of financial funds of NOPs is largely from donations of business and individual donors. How to generate a stable and long-term oriented relationship with these donors in order to keep the smooth operation and future development is especially crucial and meaningful for NPO managers. Likewise, the objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between customer value, relationship quality and donor’s behavioral intention based on the customer value and relationship marketing perspectives. We gained the cooperation of one NPO organization, a well-known children’s hearing foundation in Taiwan, and distribute welcome emails to their donors. After donors’ agreement, they click the hyperlink of our survey website within the welcome email and fill in related measurement items of our research model. A total of 1,383 welcome emails were submitted and 171 completed and valid questionnaires are obtained, thereby generating 12.36% valid response rate. Our study found that: (1) three types of customer value, namely “functional value”, “emotional value” and “social value”, are positively and significantly influence the relationship quality between foundation and donors; (2) relationship quality is positively associated with donor’s behavioral intention in terms of “monetary contributions”, “volunteer behavior” and “word of mouth”; (3) donor’s gender difference has a significant moderating effect on the relationship between functional value and relationship quality. For male donors, functional value has no significant influence on relationship quality, but for female donors, the functional value has significant and positive effect on relationship quality. Implications for practitioners and researchers and suggestions for future research are also addressed in this study.
