Durant les années 1920 et 1930, le Japon et la France ont eu des échanges culturels particulièrement riches. Les artistes japonais sont venus en nombre à Paris pour étudier la peinture à l'occidentale, certains allant jusqu'à concourir dans des Salons parisiens ; au moins 200 d'entre eux ont exposé dans les Salons de Paris. Du côté japonais, on observe par exemple 32 expositions collectives organisées en France pendant cette période autour d'artistes japonais, soit du fait du gouvernement impérial, soit à l'initiative des artistes eux-mêmes. Plus de 70 expositions individuelles dans les galeries parisiennes leur ont été dédiées. Du côté français, le marchand d'art Herman d'Oelsnitz et la Société d'art franco-japonaise ont ainsi organisé pas moins de 23 expositions d'art français au Japon. En 1928, des chefs-d'œuvre du musée du Luxembourg ont été envoyés à Tokyo, tandis qu'une exposition d'art japonais a eu lieu au musée du Jeu de Paume en 1929. Issus de cette exposition, en dehors des 13 peintures achetées par l'État français, 81 peintures et 31 objets d'art ont été vendus à des collectionneurs privés. En outre, 19 gravures ont été achetées par l'État français. Ces relations particulièrement intenses nous conduisent à nous demander : pourquoi les artistes japonais sont venus à Paris ? Concernant les expositions d'art japonais, quels ont été les critères de sélection adoptés par le Japon ? Comment les artistes japonais et leurs œuvres étaient-ils perçus en France ? Sur quel type d'œuvres se concentraient les acquisitions en France, la peinture de style japonais (nihonga) ou la peinture de style occidental (yōga), ou encore les deux ? Les analyses ouvriront la voie à une meilleure compréhension des échanges dynamiques entre le Japon et la France, échanges dont l'importance se retrouve également dans les enjeux spécifiques du monde de l'art d'aujourd'huiDuring the 1920s and 1930s, Japan and France enjoyed particularly rich cultural exchanges. Many Japanese artists came to Paris to study Western painting, some going so far as to compete in Parisian Salons. At least 200 artists exhibited at the parisiens Salons. On the Japanese side, for example, 32 group exhibitions of Japanese artists were organised in France during this period, either by the imperial government or on the initiative of the artists themselves. More than 70 solo exhibitions in Parisian galleries were also dedicated to Japanese artists. On the French side, the art dealer Herman d'Oelsnitz and the Société d'art franco-japonaise organised no fewer than 23 exhibitions of French art in Japan. In 1928, masterpieces from the Musée du Luxembourg were sent to Tokyo, while an exhibition of Japanese art was held at the Musée du Jeu de Paume in 1929. After this exhibition, apart from the 13 paintings bought by the French state, 81 paintings and 31 decorative arts were sold to private collectors. As for prints, 19 were bought by the French State. These particularly intense relations lead us to ask questions such as: why did Japanese artists come to Paris? What selection criteria did Japan adopt for exhibitions of Japanese art? How were Japanese artists and their works perceived in France? What type of work was acquired in France, Japanese-style painting (nihonga) or Western-style painting (yōga), or both? The analyses will pave the way for a better understanding of the dynamic exchanges between Japan and France, exchanges whose importance is also reflected in today's art world

Portfolio diversification has been a subject frequently addressed since the publications of Markowitz in 1952 and 1959. However, the Modern Portfolio Theory and its mean variance framework have been criticized. The critiques refer to the assumptions that return distributions are normally distributed and the symmetric definition of risk. This paper elaborates on these short comings and applies a heuristic downside risk approach to avoid the pitfalls inherent in the mean variance framework. The result of the downside risk approach is compared and contrasted with the result of the mean variance framework. The return data refers to the real estate sector in Sweden and diversification is reached through property type and geographical location. The result reveals that diversification is reached differently between the two approaches. The downside risk measure applied here frequently diversifies successfully with use of fewer proxies. The efficient portfolios derived also reveals that the downside risk approach would have contributed to a historically higher average total return. This paper outlines a framework for portfolio diversification, the result is empirical and further research is needed in order to grasp the potential of the downside risk measures.

Studies carried out during the 2000’s have shown that securitized real estate has outperformed the direct real estate market with as much as up to 500 basis points on an annual basis during the 80’s and 90’s. Allocation to real estate among institutional investors has at the same time been at around 5%. Research conducted in the area during this period has suggested an allocation to real estate around 10% - 20% in a mixed-asset portfolio, depending on the specifics of the real estate. Securitized and direct real estate come with different benefits and different problems, such as a better inflation hedge and asset-liability frameworks but worse information transparency for direct real estate, but a higher liquidity, return (including volatility) and information transparency for securitized real estate market. This research shows that during the period 2000-2010 securitized real estate still outperforms direct real estate. The spread during the period is as much as 762 basis points per annum. The highest risk-adjusted return is given to the investor who invests between 21% - 30% depending on the specifics of the real estate. However, noticeable is that risk factors such as illiquidity, lower transparency and geographical could eventually give another perspective on the outcome of the risk-adjusted return.

Dean, Amy K. Rogers. "Family, property, and negotiations of authority| Francoise Brulart and the estate management of noble women in early modern Burgundy." Thesis, Purdue University, 2015. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3686885.
Анотація:
There is no question that early modern France was a patriarchal society. In fact, during this period, there was an increase in legislation further subordinating women under the authority of their fathers and then of their husbands. The legal identities of women as daughters and wives was officially negligible. However, this dissertation argues that in practice, family needs trumped the constricting legal prescriptions placed upon women. In examining the estate accounts, contracts, and family papers of the Saulx-Tavanes, Brulart, Le Goux, Joly, Marmier, and Baissey families, it is abundantly clear that women of both the noblesse de robe and noblesse d'épée were actively engaged in estate management which required negotiations of the legal hurdles placed in front of them. At least unofficially noblemen expected their wives to enter marriage armed with a cadre of managerial skills to be employed for the good of the family during their marriage and if necessary after. Furthermore, noble husbands, many of whom were legists themselves, seemed to have fully embraced women's negotiations of familial authority as commonplace.
Françoise Brulart was a member of the noblesse de robe in Burgundy, albeit of the highest echelon, who married a prominent member of the noblesse d'épée, Claude de Saulx-Tavanes. From the onset of their marriage, Françoise and Claude worked together in a sort of collaborative partnership, one in which he clearly depended on her to take an active role in co-managing the estate and family economy. Upon his death, rather than naming a male relative as the trustee over his properties, he left Françoise in charge. In her viduity, she increased her assiduous estate administration while successfully continuing to promote and defend the family rights and assets. Françoise's experiences and agency were far from singular. Through the analysis of documents involving not only Françoise Brulart, but also those of Louise Joly, Anne de Marmier and Anne de Baissey, it is clear that both in marriage and in widowhood, family success and advancement relied on the ability of noble women to administer the estates frugally, and to sustain, and if possible to grow, the family assets.

Resumo: O trabalho aqui apresentado, cujo recorte se fez na cidade de São Paulo, se propôs a estudar edifícios habitacionais do período entre 1940 e 1970, principalmente por meio dos anúncios publicitários da época e em especial de cinco exemplares, escolhidos por sua relevância arquitetônica. Com essa análise, pretendeu-se ao mesmo tempo explorar mais acerca daquilo que motivou a verticalização e as mudanças no modo de morar ocasionadas pela transição da casa térrea unifamiliar para a habitação multifamiliar verticalizada, tal como a imagem do edifício de habitação perante um público leigo. A abordagem deu-se principalmente pela perspectiva do imaginário da época que associava a ideia de modernidade aos grandes edifícios, que puderam ser construídos graças aos avanços tecnológicos aproveitados pela arquitetura moderna
Abstract: This dissertation, which used the city of São Paulo as its main frame, is a study on residential buildings of the period set between the 1940's and 1970's. Through the review of advertisements from this time period, focusing on five specific issues chosen for their architectural significance, this work sought to simultaneously explore more about what motivated the vertical growth and the changes in the way of living caused by the transition from single-family houses to multifamily housing, such as the image of the vertical residential building for the lay public. The subject was approached mainly from the perspective of this time frame, in which the idea of modernity was often associated with large buildings that could only be built thanks to the technological advances availed by modern architecture

This paper analyzes theperformance of five commercial real estate property types (office, retail, industrial, apartment, and hotel) between 2000 and 2012 to determine the U.S. housing crisis'simpact on Real Estate investing. Under the concept of Modern Portfolio Theory, the data was analyzed using investment analysis programs to determine correlation, risk/return characteristics, and trade-offs (Sharpe ratio) as well as the optimal allocation among the individual property types. In light of the results, each property type plays a different role in investment strategies in various economic cycles. Some assets are attractive solely based onpotential return, or risk for return tradeoffs; however, through diversification, other property types play valuable roles in hedging risk on investors' target returns.B.A. and B.S.

Los discursos de la modernidad arquitectónica a finales del siglo XIX en España fundamentados en el Eclecticismo como tendencia internacional han sido poco analizados hasta la fecha. Las tensiones entre propuestas continuistas y la irrupción de estilos como el Modernisme en el panorama barcelonés no han focalizado los estudios debido a la importancia, originalidad y ruptura que supuso el segundo, que ha protagonizado una gran profusión de estudios monográficos eludiendo un contexto creativo más complejo y amplio.
Precisamente en ese contexto de cambio, tensión y estilo en la Barcelona finisecular se centra esta tesis doctoral, con el objetivo último de aportar nuevos datos y conocer en profundidad subtendencias y creadores que hasta la fecha habían permanecido a la sombra de autores como Antoni Gaudí o Lluís Domènech i Montaner. La investigación focaliza un caso de estudio muy particular y desconocido, el del arquitecto José Doménech y Estapá y su producción arquitectónica. A partir de documentación inédita exhumada de diversos archivos, sus posicionamientos político y artístico son abordados al detalle, así como su doctrina arquitectónica y su corpus productivo. En este sentido, se ha realizado el primer catálogo de obras completas de este autor con un total de 106 casos. La importancia de Doménech y Estapá radica en, además de encargarse de obras de gran relevancia en el núcleo barcelonés como el Palacio de Justicia y la Prisión Modelo entre otros, que se trata de un personaje paradigmático como representante del antimodernismo de algunos actores del panorama arquitectónico español de finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX. Su propuesta intelectual y artística, sustentada en el Eclecticismo decimonónico junto al interés de afrontar la modernidad de un modo más racional y fuera del pintoresquismo modernista, derivará en una estética y discurso proyectivo muy particular, un estilo unipersonal de gran complejidad conceptual que hemos denominado Estapismo y que desarrollamos en los diferentes bloques de la investigación.The researches of the architectural modernity at the end of the 19th century in Spain based on the Eclecticism like international style have been little analysed up to the date. The tensions between the tradition and the irruption of styles like the Modernisme in the Barcelonian panorama, they have not focused the studies due to the importance, originality and break that there supposed the second one, which has led a great profusion of monographic studies eluding a more complex creative and wide context. Precisely in this context of change, tension and style on Barcelona at the end of the 19th century, it’s the center of this doctoral thesis, with the last aim to contribute new information and to know more about other styles and creators who up to the date had remained in the shade of authors like Antoni Gaudí or Lluís Domènech i Montaner. The research focuses a very particular and unknown case : the architect José Doménech y Estapá and his architectural production. From unpublished documentation exhumed of diverse files, his political and artistic positions are approached to the detail, as well as his architectural doctrine and his productive corpus. In this sense, there has been realized the first catalogue of complete works of this author by a total of 106 cases. Doménech y Estapá was the author of notable works in Barcelona as the Courthouse Palace or the new Prison and he was a paradigmatic personage as representative of the antimodernism of some Spanish architects of the end of the 19th century and beginning of the XXth. His intellectual and artistic offer sustained in the nineteenth-century Eclecticism close to the interest to confront the modernity of a most rational way and out of the picturesque Modernisme, will derive in an aesthetics and architectural design very particularly, an individual style of great conceptual complexity that we have named Estapismo and that we develop in the different blocks of the research.

Анотація:
According to Aristotle, for a human being to live their best life, that is a life that flourishes, is to live a political life. A political life is lived best in a polis , or a self - sufficient community, so therefore, the most flourishing human life is one lived in a polis . Also, for a polis to be self - sufficient, its citizens must be flourishing, so there exists a special sort of constitutive relationship between the polis and its citizens. There are certain capacities available to human beings in the polis that promote their flourishing (namely loyalty and trust) that help fulfill important human needs. These capacities are best carried out through various subcommunities in the polis . Subcommunities range in size and interest, but the ones that best fulfil l important human needs also contribute most to the polis, and thus contribute most to human flourishing. In this paper, I will argue that physical retail space is a particular kind of subcommunity that can fulfill an important human need. While it is popular opinion that the shopping mall, and more - broadly physical retail as a whole, does not have a place in the increasingly technologically savvy community, physical retail space offers humans a place to engage that is necessary for their flourishing.

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo analisar a história do engenheiroarquiteto Alfredo Mathias e da construtora que leva o seu nome. Formado pela Escola Politécnica da Universidade de São Paulo em 1929, foi testemunha das profundas modificações que a cidade sofreu, evoluindo da cidade eclética, símbolo da sociedade cafeeira para a metrópole industrial e de serviços do final do século XX. A cidade de São Paulo, desde os anos trinta, funcionou como pano de fundo para um dos maiores protagonistas do processo de verticalização desta cidade. Atuou na indústria da construção civil como incorporador, construtor e industrial. Soube cercar-se dos melhores profissionais de sua época, como também tirar partido das oportunidades surgidas no mercado imobiliário como de suas limitações. A intenção deste trabalho é recuperar sua trajetória e sua produção em relação à cidade e ao campo arquitetônico. A narrativa foi elaborada a partir dos testemunhos dos profissionais que trabalharam em sua construtora e em estudos de caso. O período analisado coincide com a fase de grande desenvolvimento do país e também de grande instabilidade política e econômica.This study aims to analyze the history of engineer-architect Alfredo Mathias and construction company that bears his name. Graduated from the Escola Politécnica da Universidade de São Paulo in 1929, has witnessed the profound changes that the city suffered, evolving from eclectic city, symbol of coffee society to the industrial metropolis and service of the late twentieth century. The city of São Paulo, since the thirties, served as a backdrop for one of the biggest players in the process of uprighting this city. He worked in the construction industry as a developer, builder and industrial. Knew how to surround himself with the best professionals of his era, as well as take advantage of opportunities arising in the housing market as its limitations. The intention of this work is to recover his trajectory and his production to the city and the architectural field. The narrative was drawn from the testimony of the professionals who worked for his construction company and case studies. The sample period coincides with the period of great development of the country and also of great political and economic instability.

Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 2001.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 78-88).
This thesis attempts to relate the principal elements of Modern Portfolio Theory ('MPT') to real estate, recognizing that MPT was built not for real estate, but for stocks and bonds. It is split into two parts; the first part deals with 'the theory' of real estate investing, including a commentary on both why mixed-asset portfolios include real estate components, and how MPT relates to real estate. The second part deals with 'the reality'; the extent (or otherwise) to which different investor types apply MPT to their direct, private equity real estate investment strategies. It attempts to answer this question by a case study approach, focusing on four investor types. These investors were specifically chosen because of the fact that they are, in each case, sophisticated groups who have a knowledge and understanding of the principal elements of MPT. The extent to which they feel that all elements of MPT are relevant to real estate is, ultimately, the question that this paper attempts to answer.

À partir de deux opérations d’agrandissement de ville au XVIIe siècle (Aix en 1646, Marseille en 1666), cette recherche vise à comprendre les modalités concrètes de production de l’espace urbain sous l’Ancien Régime, à la fois au plan humain et matériel. Cette étude débute au ras du sol, à l’échelle la plus fine de la matérialité urbaine, à savoir le parcellaire. À partir d’une réflexion croisée autour des droits du sols et du marche de l’immobilier, l’enjeu ici est de mieux comprendre le poids des structures et des mécanismes juridiques privés dans les processus de fabrique de la ville. Changeant d’échelle d’analyse, un ensemble d’interrogations liées au domaine de l'économie du bâtiment permet de mettre en évidence les modalités économiques, sociales et juridiques qui entourent les chantiers de la construction. Le but ici est à la fois de dégager les règles cadrant l'activité constructive, et de déterminer les contours de la pratique des individus dans ce domaine. Cet axe induit une réflexion autour de la structuration à la fin du XVIIe siècle d’un ordre public constructif. Enfin, cette recherche aborde dans un troisième temps l’espace urbain dans son ensemble le plus vaste, à la fois sur le plan matériel et administratif. À partir des cadres politiques et institutionnels sollicités et déployés pour mener à bien ces opérations, c’est la question de l’intégration et de la gestion de ces nouveaux espaces à l'ordre urbain existant qui nous préoccupeFrom two city expansion operations in the seventeenth century (Aix in 1646, Marseille in 1666), this research aims to understand the practical arrangements for production of urban space under the old regime, both in human terms and equipment.This study begins at ground level at the finest scale of urban materiality, the plot. From a cross-reflection on the rights of the land and property market, the challenge here is to understand the weight of structures and private legal mechanisms in urban process.Changing scale of analysis, a set of questions related to the building of the economy domain allows to highlight the economic, social and legal conditions surrounding the sites of construction. The goal here is both to identify the rules framing constructive activity and to determine the contours of the practice of individuals in this area. This axis induces a reflection on the structuration of a constructive public order at the end of the seventeenth century.Finally, this research addresses urban space in its larger whole, both hardware and administratively. From the institutional and public frameworks to carry out these operations, the issue of integration and management of these new spaces to the existing urban order came up

The Scottish perspective of the Glorious Revolution of 1688 has received limited scholarly attention. The opposite is true of the Union of 1707 and this defining moment, which resulted in the loss of Scottish independence, continues to stimulate debate. The lives of Scottish noblewomen in the years from Revolution to Union have generally been disregarded. This thesis will demonstrate that acknowledging and exploring the experiences of noblewomen augments understanding of this momentous era. Investigating the lives of Scottish noblewomen using their letters to explore how they lived through the Revolution, the ‘ill years’ of King William’s reign, the Darien venture, European war and ultimately the negotiation of Union provides fresh perspectives on the social, economic and political life of Scotland. Recovering the experience of noblewomen engages with a wider process in Scottish history which has transformed understanding in some areas of historical study but has by no means permeated all. Redefining female political activity has illuminated the influence of elite English women in the later eighteenth century. Scottish noblewomen require similar extensive study. The research presented here supports the argument that political analysis alone cannot provide the fullest assessment of this period. Women are revealed as a vital element within social aspects of political manoeuvring and both created and maintained family networks. This research challenges the constricting framework of the public and private dichotomy. It aims to reveal and redefine the responsibilities of noblewomen within an expanded sphere of activity and suggests a much more inclusive role for women than has previously been considered. The formation of a British parliament in 1707 reduced the number of Scots parliamentarians and changed the role of the governing elite in Scotland but did not diminish Scottish women’s influence and participation. This thesis argues that Scottish noblewomen operated with autonomy within patriarchal parameters to support menfolk, exert authority and in some cases wield influence. Demonstrating their roles, abilities and a new form of social politics at work in Scotland is a vital part of understanding the post Union period and the development of British politics.

This work intends to subsidize the real estate investment funds investor in choosing a FII investment portfolio in order to obtain performance at or above the industry benchmark (IFIX). Such a grant is made initially by methodology which considers the concept of Efficient Portfolio (Risk / Return) proposed by Markowitz, can work together with the dimension of the concept of Behavioral Finance, led by Daniel Kahneman, constituting the investor’s orientation bases. We add the methodological approach to the indications suggested by Bazerman and Moore, in the decisionmaking process that reduces the effects of heuristics and viésis. To start the way the investor responds to questionnaire of 5 questions that aims to classify the degree of ’capacity and tolerance ―by the IFI prod-uct. From their responses the investor will be referred to a‖ cluster ―of funds, classified according to the perception of retail investor, according to the complexity of analyzing the background. Selected FIIs with potential for application, bring the investor as an ‖Ranking― of the funds in question answering three questionnaires that motivate the expansion of its research in the following dimensions :. (i) Capacity of the fund, (ii) on the (s) Active (s) of the fund, and (iii) of the Income Generation of FII Complementing the creation of ‖Ranking― is also considered its Anchor decision, ie, the main investor reason to choose each selected fund. Finally, we use the concept of Markowitz to identify the most efficient Portfolio considering the ‖Ranking' of the investor, with the EXCEL package with the tool SOLVER.

Tal subsídio é constituído, inicialmente, por uma metodologia que considera que o conceito de Carteira Eficiente (Risco/Retorno) preconizada por Markowitz pode trabalhar em conjunto com a dimensão do conceito das Finanças Comportamentais, liderada por Daniel Kahneman, constituindo as bases de orientação do investidor. Acrescentamos o caminho metodológico com as indicações, sugeridas por Bazerman e Moore, no processo de tomada de decisão, que reduza os efeitos de heurísticas e vieses.

Cette étude porte sur l’architecture domestique à Nancy et dans les 19 communes de son agglomération de 1919 à 1939. L’ampleur du corpus (6 600 édifices) et du territoire étudiés permet de mettre en exergue les processus urbains et architecturaux qui concourent à la production de la ville. Les relations entre les municipalités, les lotisseurs, les organismes de logement social et les sociétés savantes sont scrutées pour retracer le chemin qui mène du projet à la réalité urbaine. La Reconstruction, les lois encadrant l’urbanisme ou les habitations à bon marché (loi Loucheur) et l’effet de la crise des années 1930 sur la promotion foncière et immobilière sont réinterrogés en profitant des outils techniques (SIG) et théoriques actuels. Les confrontations avec les modèles nationaux (voire internationaux) inscrivent l’étude dans une perspective plus large où l’agglomération nancéienne devient un support de réflexion sur ce moment de l’histoire des villes françaises. Par ailleurs, le recensement exhaustif permet de s’intéresser à l’ensemble de la production bâtie, sans hiérarchie. Cette étude du grand nombre, mêlant banal et exceptionnel, met en exergue les permanences et hybridations. L’héritage éclectique et Art nouveau côtoie la diffusion des nouveaux courants que sont le Mouvement moderne et l’Art déco. L’examen du cas nancéien contribue à la redéfinition de ce dernier style et à une meilleure connaissance de son évolution après 1930. Enfin, cette étude est l’occasion de montrer que l’architecture domestique s’apparente à une transcription matérielle de l’ordre social, qui transparaît dans la qualité des espaces intérieurs et des façades comme support de représentationThis study concerns the domestic architecture in Nancy and the 19 towns of its suburbs from 1919 to 1939. The important size of the corpus (6600 buildings) and of the area studied highlights the urban and architectural processes that contribute to the creation of the city. The relationships between the city council, developers, social housing organizations and intellectual societies are analyzed to trace the path that leads from the plan to the urban reality. The post-war reconstruction project, the law controlling urbanism or social housing (Loucheur Act) and the effects of the 1930’s crisis on the land and housing development are looked back on using modern technical (GIS) and conceptual tools. The comparisons with national (even international) models place the study in a broader perspective where Nancy and its suburbs become a medium for reflection on this moment in the history of French cities. In addition, the exhaustive inventory allows looking at all the building production without hierarchy. This study, combining the mundane and the outstanding, highlights permanencies and hybridisations. The legacy of Eclecticism and Art Nouveau coexists with the diffusion of new trends such as the Modern movement and Art Deco. The examination of Nancy’s case contributes to the new definition of the latter style and of a better understanding of its evolution during the 1930’s. Finally, this study is the opportunity to show that domestic architecture is a physical transcription of a social order, which is reflected in the quality of interior design and building facades as medium of representation

This dissertation is the result of a study of power relations between the crown and the church in Sweden during the 17th century. The study is focused on the Swedish Parliament and how the Estate of the Clergy responded to royal pretensions. The Swedish Clerical Estate is viewed as essential for the Swedish state formation process. The argument in the study is inspired by theories suggesting that state building and state formation were outcomes of a bargaining process between rulers and local power holders. The perspective presented by the historian Jan Glete is of great importance. He defines the early modern state as a complex organization providing protection and violence control. He emphasizes that the power of the state and the state’s character were dependent upon how the state could assert power. In order to do this, the rulers bartered with their subjects using protection as a commodity while in return the subjects paid required taxes. This bargaining process is interpreted as interactive. The rulers linked various local interests to the state and in doing so gained control of the society and the use of violence. The Swedish Clerical Estate played an important role in this process. Due in part to this fact, the clergy differed from the other subjects of the realm such as the nobility or the peasants. The clergy did not own any sizeable amount of property and did not exert any economical influence. Instead the Clerical Estate negotiated using their ideological, cultural and political resources. These commodities became essential in how the king organized the state. In exchange for royal protection, the clergy were given the task of supporting and explaining the crown’s economical and military needs. By doing so, the Clerical Estate legitimated the royal power in the parliament and in the society as a whole. At the same time, this negotiation signified a definition of the role of the clergyman within the state. Though the Clerical Estate sometimes tried to reject royal claims, it was the king who decided the conditions of negotiation. The parliament as a political field was created by the king and for the king. From a political point of view, religion and a theological framework became of great importance and were adopted by the crown in order to exploit resources. Taking this into consideration, the 17th century Swedish state seems to be more effective than other European early modern states.

Bostadsbristen som rådde i Sverige efter andra världskriget löstes genom ett bostadsprojekt som kom att kallas miljonprogrammet. Bostäderna som byggdes höll vid den tiden en hög standard invändigt medan utemiljön ofta bortprioriterades. Idag råder det än en gång ett stort behov av bostäder i Sverige, dock bör inte problemet lösas med samma metod som under miljonprogrammet. Syftet med arbetet är att ta fram ett förslag på hur ett område i ett mindre samhälle kan gestaltas. Målet är att besvara arbetets två frågeställningar som ska utreda hur en nybebyggelse på en tomt intill ett miljonprogramsområde skulle kunna utformas med hänsyn till platsens förutsättningar, omkringliggande bebyggelse samt upplevd trygghet och trivsel. Den metod som användes för studien är kvalitativa intervjuer, litteraturstudier och skissarbete. Ett förslag av flerbostadshus och en situationsplan för en tomt på en mindre ort har utformats med avseende på trivsel, trygghet och anpassning till kringliggande bebyggelse. Undersökningarna resulterade i åsikter kring vad som skulle prioriteras vid utformning av bostäder på tomten, men även vilka kvalitéer som önskades för övrigt i området. Dessa analyserades och kopplades till den teoretiska bakgrunden. Det analyserade resultatet applicerades sedan i studiens förslag. Studien resulterade i ett förslag som mottogs väl av beställaren, som förhoppningsvis kommer inspireras till vidare arbete med tomten. Nyckelord: utformningsförslag, moderna planlösningar, situationsplan, flerbostadshus, nybyggnation, miljonprogrammet, trygghet, trivsel, visualisering, byggnadsutformning, bostadsanpassning, trygg miljö, bostäder, bygglovshandlingar, utemiljö.The housing shortage from which occurred in Sweden after the second world war was solved through a housing project that later became known as The Million Homes Programme (miljonprogrammet). The houses were built with high standards according to the contemporary indoor standards, while the outside environment was often somewhat dull and non-prioritized. At this moment, Sweden is facing a similar type of housing shortage, a problem that should not be solved with the same methods used during The Million Homes Programme. The main purpose of this thesis is to develop a suggestion of a building design and a site layout plan in a small town, in collaboration with a Swedish municipality in Kronoberg county. The goal is to explore the different possibilities of how an estate owned by the municipality of Uppvidinge could be designed with multi-family houses which pays respect to safety and comfort and also is adapted to the surrounding built environment. The surrounding built environment consists of multi-family houses from The Million Homes Programme and one-family villas. The methods used for this thesis are pointed interviews, studies of prior published research and computer aided drawing. A suggestion of a building design accompanied with a site layout plan is presented in the report. The building design and the site layout plan pays respect to safety besides comfort and is also adapted to the surrounding built environment. The completed studies resulted in opinions about what should be a priority when designing multi-family houses on the site, but also what kind of qualities that were desired in the surrounding area. These results were analyzed and thence linked to the theoretical background. The analyzed result was thereafter applied in a suggestion. The study resulted in a suggestion that was well received by the client, which hopefully will be inspired for further work on site. Key words: design plans, modern planning arrangement, site plan, apartment building, new housing estate, the million homes programme, safety, comfort, visualization, building design, housing adaptation, safe environment, residences, building permit documents, outdoor environment.

Die vorliegende Dissertation zu makroökonomischen Themen beinhaltet einen einleitenden Literaturüberblick, drei eigenständige und voneinander unabhängige Kapitel sowie einen technischen Anhang. In Kapitel zwei wird ein Zwei-Länder Modell einer Währungsunion betrachtet, in dem die gemeinsame Zentralbank die Wohlfahrt der gesamten Währungsunion maximieren will, während die zwei fiskalpolitischen Akteure vergleichbare, aber minimal abweichende länderspezifische Verlustfunktionen zu minimieren suchen. Das Konkurrenzverhalten dieser drei Institutionen wird in sieben spieltheoretischen Szenarien analysiert. Beim Vergleich einer homogenen mit einer heterogenen Währungsunion lassen sich für letztere deutlich höhere Wohlfahrtsverluste relativ zum sozialen Optimum feststellen. Die Szenarien mit den geringsten Wohlfahrtsverlusten sind Kooperation aller drei Institutionen und eine Stackelberg-Führerschaft der Zentralbank. Kapitel drei untersucht, inwieweit das Verhältnis von Immobilienpreise zum Bruttoinlandsprodukt als langfristig konstant und nur auf Grund von Produktivitätsschocks von seinem Mittelwert abweichend angesehen werden kann. Hierzu wird ein Zwei-Sektoren RBC-Modell für den Immobiliensektor und einen Konsumgütersektor erstellt. Es wird gezeigt, dass ein antizipierter, zukünftiger Schock auf das Produktivitätswachstum im Konsumgütersektor eine sofortige, deutliche Erhöhung der Immobilienpreise relativ zum Bruttoinlandsprodukt zur Folge hat. In Kapitel vier wird gefragt, ob ein typisches Neukeynesianisches Modell "sechs große Rätsel der internationalen Makroökonomie" erklären kann. Die sechs Rätsel werden in Bedingungen für erste und zweite Momente übersetzt und fünf wesentliche Modellparameter geschätzt. Das Ergebnis ist erstaunlich gut: unter anderem können die empirischen Beobachtungen zur Heimatpräferenz wiedergegeben und die Schwankungsbreite des realen Wechselkurses deutlich erhöht werden. Handelskosten sind für dieses Ergebnis ein wesentlicher Faktor.This dissertation consists of an introductory chapter with an extended literature review, three chapters on individual and independent research topics, and an appendix. Chapter 2 uses a two-country model with a central bank maximizing union-wide welfare and two fiscal authorities minimizing comparable, but slightly different country-wide losses. The rivalry between the three authorities is analyzed in seven static games. Comparing a homogeneous with a heterogeneous monetary union, welfare losses relative to the social optimum are found to be significantly larger in a heterogeneous union. The best-performing scenarios are cooperation between all authorities and monetary leadership. The goal of Chapter 3 is to investigate whether or not it is possible to explain the house price to GDP ratio and the house price to stock price ratio as being generally constant, deviating from its respective mean only because of shocks to productivity? Building a two-sector RBC model for residential and non-residential capital, it is shown that an anticipated future shock to productivity growth in the non-residential sector leads to an immediate large increase in house prices relative to GDP. In Chapter 4, it is asked whether a typical New Keynesian Open Economy Model is able to explain "Six Major Puzzles in International Macroeconomics". After translating the six puzzles into moment conditions for the model, I estimate five parameters to fit the moment conditions implied by the data. Given the simplicity of the model, its fit is surprisingly good: among other things, the home bias puzzles can easily be replicated, the exchange rate volatility is formidably increased and the exchange rate correlation pattern is relatively close to realistic values. Trade costs are one important ingredient for this finding.

Konopiště manor farm estate in a modern age thesis aims to analyse a legal dispute between Franz Ferdinand d'Este's children and Czechoslovakia. In 1900 Franz Ferdinand, successor to the Austrian throne, acknowledged his forthcoming marriage to countess Sophie Chotek would become unequal. As a part of the agreement, he consented that his wife and children would not inherit any property belonging to the House of Habsburg and they would also not be eligible successors to the throne. Consequently, a new house, called von Hohenberg, was established which Sophie, Franz Ferdinand's wife, and their descendants belonged to. Czechoslovakia was established after the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In August 1921, Czechoslovakian lawmakers published a specific law whose provisions were derived from the Treaty of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, signed on 10 September 1919. According to the Treaty, all property of the House of Habsburg was handed over to the newly established state without any compensation. While discussing the proposition in the Chamber of Deputies, deputy Theodor Bartošek came up with an addition, saying property of Franz Ferdinand's children was confiscated as well. An analysis of the Treaty of Saint-Germain-en-Laye and the 354/1921 law-making process is followed by a review of every...

Esta tese pretende enveredar numa investigação sobre um (admirável) mundo novo: a cidade contemporânea estudada como ela é, composta por centro e periferia. Tal como os centros urbanos não cresceram com um único fio de pensamento, os espaços suburbanos foram igualmente territórios de múltiplos debates entre intervenientes e respostas às solicitações sociais, onde frequentemente o interesse económico e individual sobressaiu face ao coletivo.
Falemos da dita cidade moderna, esta que por ser tão trivial raramente nos emociona ou se percebe o seu conceito. Porém, é importante entendê-la como um reflexo do que fomos: a casa de veraneio para a elite republicana, a cidade nova para os arquitetos, a cidade liberalizada e mercantilizada para os tecnocratas, a casa própria e a vida nova para a sociedade – o território-oportunidade que não passou alheio às mudanças do século XX. Todos estes intervenientes ganham voz neste trabalho por via das ideologias, preocupações e ambições empregues num caso de estudo, cujas transformações morfológicas e sociais nos modos de habitar suburbano retratam o seu crescimento.This thesis intends to engage on an investigation about a(n admirable) new world: the contemporary town studied as it presents itself, constituted by both downtown and suburbs. Just like the urban centre weren’t developed following a unique current of thought, suburban spaces were regions of several debates among stakeholders and pretended to response to social needs, where, not infrequently, the economical and individual interests out-toped the common ones. Let’s approach the modern town that, due to its banality, can rarely thrill us or reveal us its concept. Nevertheless, it is of great importance to recognize it as a reflection of who we were: the “holiday house” for the republican elite, the “new town” for architects, the “liberalized and merchantilized town” for technocrats, the “own house” and “new life” for society – the dream-territory didn’t disregard the 20th century inherent changes. All of these stakeholders have a voice in the present paper not only by ideologies but also by concerns and ambitions applied to a case-study, whose morphological and social shifts in the suburban way of life picture their growth.

Economy of three generations of aristocrats from Pernstejn during the 16th century In my work I focus on the management of aristocrats from Pernstejn during the 16th century. On an example of three generations I am trying to show traditional forms of noble business, as well as new attempts for financial gain. I built my work on the data from sixteen urbary of Pernstejn manors reflecting the view of major aristocratic family on their own proactive approach to economic events in estates. Throughout the study I cover the history of aristocrats from Pernstejn from the beginnings to the end of the 16th century. Further I focus on the traditional forms of feudal profits also via more modern ways that started to be used during late medieval and early modern period. After that I describe the urbary and development of their studies. Furthermore, using an extant urbary I describe the economic situation in eight Pernstejn estates. In the final apendix I record all locations that are monitored in the urbary. Overall, I summarize the estates as outdated and not very profitable. According to me the self-interest of Pernstejn family in this area is minimal. Both facts led to financial bankruptcy of the family that during a certain period belonged to a political and property elite of the early modern Czech aristocracy. Key...

Faculty of Engineering and the Built EnvironmentThe objectives of this research are to assess the returns, risks and correlation of a mixed-asset portfolio, establish the role of real estate in a mixed-asset portfolio and suggest an appropriate real estate allocation in the South African pension fund industry. The issue of low real estate allocation has been a subject of interest to practitioners and academics, both locally and internationally, despite the diversification benefit that real estate provides in a mixed-asset portfolio. A statistical approach was considered most the appropriate tool for analyzing returns. Solver optimizer in the excel spreadsheet package was used to generate efficient frontiers and the associated values of portfolios. Real estate provided a lower return of 1.25% and a lower standard deviation of 4.90% compared to equities with a return of 1.39% and the highest standard deviation of 6.23%, whilst bonds provided the best risk-return trade off, with a return of 1.42% and the lowest standard deviation of 2.64%. An equally -weighted portfolio consisting of bonds and stocks and a portfolio consisting bonds, stocks and real estate was simulated. The equally -weighted portfolio of bonds and stocks provides a return of 1.41% and a standard deviation of 3.76%. The minimum variance with bias to bonds provides a higher return of 1.42% at a lower level of risk of 2.62%. The equally -weighted portfolio consisting of bonds, stocks and real estate provides a return of 1.35%, with a lower risk of 3.49%. The minimum variance with bias to bonds provides almost the same return of 1.40% at a lower level of risk of 2.54% compared to the bond and share portfolio. The Chi-Square statistical tool was used to test the diversification benefit of real estate. It can be concluded that the standard deviation of the portfolio with property is close enough to the standard deviation without property of 3.76% and cannot statistically say that it is different given the 5% level of significance. The Sharpe ratio was used to test the favourable risk adjusted returns offered by real estate. It concluded that property provides favourable risk adjusted returns and diversification benefits, as illustrated with the increasing portfolio return from 7.44% to 8.66% on Sharpe ratio basis and standard deviation of the portfolio decreasing from 3.76% to 2.54%. The literature review generally supported the view that real estate has a role in a mixed-asset portfolio. Research topics such as securitized versus unsecuritized real estate, real estate allocation and diversification, returns and risk, inflation hedging, modern portfolio theory and the efficient -frontier were analysed and related to the research report. The empirical analysis supports the hypothesis that real estate provides diversification benefits. The property cycle is positive and it is supported by positive property fundamentals like (vacancies are at lowest levels, capitalisation rates are strengthening, the property cycle is turning positive and a stable interest rate environment). The positive property fundamentals will lead to earnings growth. An allocation of between 10% based on the lower end of the minimum variance and 15% based on the lower end of the risk/return ratio is recommended for a mixed-asset portfolio.

The study commences with a brief overview of the history of marriage and specifically of marriage in community of property with reference to marital power. The unique ex lege consequences of marriage in community of property is comprehensively discussed.
The Constitutional Court decision in Harksen v Lane determined the test for unconstitutionality. The test for unconstitutionality is discussed with specific reference to the Bill of Rights. The Constitutional Court's decision in Volks v Robinson is critically evaluated as the Court propounded the so-called "choice argument" in terms of which people purposefully decide to marry instead of cohabiting and therefore the law may accord certain benefits to married people which are not available to unmarried life partners. The Constitutional Court decisions in Van der Merwe v RAF as well as its consequences are discussed. It concluded that section 18(b) of the Matrimonial Property Act constituted unjustifiable discrimination between spouses married in community of property and those married out of community of property and the said section was therefore declared unconstitutional.
The law of insolvency in respect of the joint estate of spouses married in community of property is investigated. Freedom of testation and case law relating thereto is considered briefly. The study concludes with the submission that the common law provision that separate assets of a spouse in a marriage in community of property form part of the joint insolvent estate even if a testator expressly determined in his will that a bequest will not form part of the joint estate of a beneficiary, amounts to unfair discrimination and is unconstitutional. t is submitted that the principle unfairly discriminates between spouses married in community of property and those married out of community of property on the ground of marital status.LLM (Estate Law), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2015

This thesis aims to analyse the development and planning of the construction of the blocks of small flats at the Zelná liška residental district in the Pankrác area of Prague in the years from 1932 to 1939. The first chapter focuses on how the architectural trends in the country and worldwide at that time impacted the development and the area planning. The second chapter deals with the description of flats being built at that time, which were small in size but practical and hygienic, and the main purpose behind their construction. In particular, it deals with the new look of the apartment houses, with the changes of their ground plans and the law regulations related. The following two parts are dedicated exclusively to the development of the area around Pankrác.

Jan Lhoták Borough landed estate of Sušice. From borough villages to abolition of corvee and its results (abstract) The aim of this doctoral thesis lies in its contribution to a complex problem of economic development of Czech landowning towns in the post-White Mountain period. The research is focused on a selected problem of town feudalisation, i. e. analysis of the importance as well as extent of their seignorial activities. Czech historiography has dealt with such a topic rather marginally, because towns used to be understood as a strange element in feudal environment, which on the contrary created conditions for social modernisation. Aristocratic (chamber) or church landed estates used to be studied as a matter of priority. Introductory chapter balances current research on the topic of borough landed estates. General survey of the research in Western Europe is presented first. Seignorial ambitions of towns are part and parcel of a vast outlined study of mutual relation between the town and the country. The topic has already been applicated in archaeology and medievistics. For the Early Modern period the research has been fragmented between agrarian and urban history, the methods of which approach the topic with various results (above all the work of Adolf Zeman about Pilsen and Rokycany in the 18th...

The thesis brings a global insight into the Prague's suburb of Bohnice. Captures the appearance since the first settlements until nowadays. Focusing mainly on both historical and socio-economical milestones, which created the city. According to the lack of written resources for the historical part of the theses and to the fact, that Bohnice are often reduced to the activities of the famous mental institution, the main target is the forming of Bohnice city in the 20th century. Concentrates on institutions of both social and health care, which can compete the famous mental institution. The thesis also supplies materials about the urban concept of the housing estate of Bohnice including the traffic solutions through the past century. Points out also outstanding architectural solitaires.
