The counseling relationship has long been considered an essential part of the foundation of positive client outcomes in counseling. While many factors play a role in the therapeutic relationship, the facilitative conditions of empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuineness have been the most-researched components of the Person-Centered construct of the therapeutic relationship. The supervisory relationship parallels the therapeutic relationship in many ways, and as the therapeutic relationship is critical to counseling, the supervisory relationship is foundational to effective supervision. While the facilitative conditions are empirically proven to contribute to positive client outcomes within the therapeutic relationship, the role of the counselor's supervisory relationship has been largely unexplored in its association to client outcomes. The purpose of this study was to determine if there is a relationship between the facilitative conditions perceived by the client during counseling, and the facilitative conditions perceived by the counselor-in-training during supervision. Additionally, these variables were tested for their ability to predict client outcomes. The sample of this study consisted of 88 clients and 55 counselors-in-training at a large university in the southeastern United States. Both clients and counselors-in-training completed two instruments to ascertain the quality of their counseling and supervision relationships. The Outcomes Questionnaire-45 was utilized to collect client outcomes data. Results validate a correlation between the client's perception of the therapeutic relationship and client outcomes, however there appears to be no relationship between the supervisory relationship and client outcomes. Further results of the study and limitations were discussed.Ph.D.

Studies involving social learning have shown that social interactions are influential in directing an individual's behavior toward relatively neutral stimuli. The present study investigated the possibility that social interactions direct an individual's behavior toward aversive stimuli. Following aversion conditioning to a visual (red water) or taste (3% vinegar) CS, 80 chicks individually observed an audience of two conspecifics ingest the aversive CS or observed a nondrinking audience in the presence of the CS. Observation of a drinking audience reduced the magnitude of the aversion to the visual CS but not to the taste CS. This effect was demonstrated in latency to respond and in log intake. The differences in observational training effects found for the visual CS but not for the taste CS may have been due to differences in visual appearance between red water and vinegar. Percent intake data revealed no differences in strength of conditioning between red water and vinegar. Subjects were retested five days following the last day of initial testing. No evidence was found for observational training effects in retention. Findings were interpreted by the classical conditioning model.Ph. D.

The political landscape of the world is constituted by states of varying degrees of influence and capability. Major powers have immense resources at their disposal, while minor powers are often constrained in terms of structure and material. Thus, for minor powers, engaging in conventional wars against much larger and more powerful states is potentially ruinous to their economies and endangers their political survival. While researchers have explored interstate asymmetric conflicts involving major and middle powers, this project specifically analyzes asymmetric conflicts between minor and major powers, focusing on the former, and the post Cold-war period. This research aims to analyze conditions, highlighted by theories on war, under which minor powers go to war challenging major powers. This research employs multiple theories, thereby establishing an innovative, pluri-theoretical framework. This theoretical framework works well with a mixed-methods approach, a medium-N research design (crisp set methodology in Qualitative Comparative Analysis), and three comparative case studies: Iraq (1990), Moldova (1992) and Serbia (1999).
This dissertation finds that by looking through the lenses of multiple theories, one can observe a more nuanced relationship between conditions faced by minor powers in militarized disputes and their decisions to go to war against a major power. First, different combinations of conditions can result in conflict. Second, domestic crisis, not external threat, tends to be of primary concern to minor powers. Third, minor powers enter a war to win based on very modest expectations. Fourth, minor powers of autocratic regime type can also misperceive the situation through anomalous beliefs. The importance of the study stems from the observation that minor powers still fight conventional asymmetric wars, despite growing military capabilities of major powers. Understanding the risks, minor powers gamble, hoping to keep their political benefits. This study enhances our understanding of conditions shaping the occurrence of asymmetric conflict.

Повний текст джерелаАнотація:
Since the 1960s the government of Burkina Faso has consistently sought to implement new development policies to improve the economic and social conditions of its people. Until the end of the 1990s these efforts have been disappointing and unsatisfactory. In the early 2000s there was a shift towards a knowledge-centred development policy and policy makers trusted that it would bring about the sough-after improvements. In 2006 Burkina Faso chose to adopt the National Innovation Systems (NIS) framework as a policy tool to implement this new policy. Drawing on a broader definition of technology that covers social technologies, this thesis used the ST-Systems analytical concept to chart the adoption and diffusion of the NIS policy tool at two levels, namely at strategic policy level and at the operational level, focusing here on the case of Bt cotton which was officially introduced to Burkina Faso in 2003. Ethnographic methods, including in-depth interviews with policy makers, farmers, Monsanto representatives, civil society actors and researchers, were used to gain new insights into the difficulties encountered by these actors when trying to implement the NIS policy tool. 60 interviews were analyzed against a backdrop of detailed historical studies, based on examining a large amount of grey literature, published between 1961 and 2016. Findings show that the implementation of the NIS policy for innovation diffusion for socio-economic development in Burkina Faso was shaped by local actors competing for control of financial resources and power positions. The new tool also had to compete with older, more familiar tools. In the end, it failed to bring about the expected improvements in policy design and practice at sectoral level. The thesis is among the first to have studied empirically the transfer processes of the NIS policy tool for innovation diffusion in an African country (Burkina Faso) through a case study focusing on the introduction of Bt cotton. The results achieved should contribute to more informed development policy-making in Burkina Faso.

Magister Public Health - MPH (Public Health)Background and rationale: Telehealth is a collection of methods for enhancing health care, public health, and health education delivery and support using telecommunications technologies. Despite the many reported benefits of telehealth, there are challenges to its continued and widespread use in South Africa. It remains unclear what facilitates or hinders the integration of telehealth into routine clinical practice. Study aim and objectives: Drawing on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), this study investigated factors affecting healthcare workers' acceptance and use of telehealth in hospitals in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN). Specifically, it described the frequency and nature of telehealth use and the factors associated with technology acceptance; and evaluated the influence of socio-demographic factors (age, experience, profession, qualification) and acceptance factors on use and behavioural intention to use telehealth. Methods: A quantitative survey in seven hospitals (2 tertiary, 3 regional, 2 district) with telehealth facilities falling under the KZN Department of Health, was conducted. 177 medical, nursing, pharmacy and allied staff consented to complete an on-line, closed ended and structured self-administered questionnaire based on the UTAUT model. The responses to the individual likert scale items were assigned a score (1-4), and from this, total scores calculated for each construct. Respondent characteristics were converted into binary variables and associations with total scores on each of the UTAUT acceptance domains were tested using t-test. The associations between behavioural intention and actual use (as binary dependent variables); and the respondent profiles, scores for performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions (independent variables) were assessed in two multivariate logistic regression models.

This was an exploratory study which used Flanagan's Critical Incident Technique to find out the factors which hinder or facilitate the psycho-socio adjustment of students from The People's Republic of China to Canada. The 21 subjects for the sample were drawn at random from a name list provided by the Chinese Visiting Scholars and Students Association at University of British Columbia. All of the subjects were graduate students or visiting scholars and had been in Canada for 9-12 months at the time of the interviews.
All subjects were able to identify incidents which hindered or facilitated their first year psycho-socio adjustment to Canada. The total of 385 incidents, 175 facilitating and 210 hindering incidents, were reported. The average number of incidents reported per student was 19.2. Ten major categories which facilitate or hinder PRC students' psycho-socio adjustment to Canada have been found through this research.
Considering the number of incidents reported by the participants, Academic Study & Research was ranked the first place among 10 categories. According to the rate of participation, Language Barriers & Improvement was listed
the highest among 10 categories. Considering the number of facilitating incidents reported by the participants, Initial Settlement was placed the highest. In the number of hindering incidents, category of Language Barriers & Improvement was listed the highest among the 10 categories.

Thesis (MDF (Development Finance))-- University of Stellenbosch, 2009.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Black Economic Empowerment (“BEE”) is an imperative economic tool that the South African government established to achieve its transformational objectives which are meant to grow the economy, decrease inequalities and create more job and business opportunities for the South African majority of the population. The objectives of transformation strategy seek to redress economic imbalances created by the previous apartheid regime. The approach is widely shared by the majority of South Africans. Since its inception, BEE as an implemented policy has created vast opportunities for previously disadvantaged individuals. Some positive spin offs that have been realised in an effort to address economic and social imbalances are discussed in the paper. The paper seeks to demonstrate the progress made in South Africa so far with regard to implementation of BEE initiatives. It further highlights some pitfalls as per the previous experience with BEE and in addition to that, covers some of the developments and benefits to date. Chapter 3 and 4 focuses on funding of BEE investments with reference to specific case studies of some of the landmark BEE deals concluded in the past. The evolution of BEE funding structures is also analysed with specific reference to some lessons learnt from the origins of BEE in South Africa. In chapter 5, BEE in South Africa is compared to transformation policies implemented by another country. Malaysia shares some similarities and challenges in the implementation of transformation policy, hence a comparison is drawn between the two countries. Finally chapter 6 concludes by providing an overview of the findings in analysing BEE strategies with specific reference to funding and the evolution of funding structures in facilitating BEE.

Introduction: Recent developments in the study of trauma responses have shown how some people may experience positive and life altering changes following traumatic life events which have been described as posttraumatic growth. Research is beginning to examine the role of trauma treatments in the facilitation of posttraumatic growth. Aim: This study sets out to explore participants’ experiences of posttraumatic growth during Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy, and the role of the therapeutic relationship in facilitating posttraumatic growth. Method: Semi-structured interviews were carried out with participants to examine their phenomenological experiences. Methodology: Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis was employed to consider emergent meanings and themes within a hermeneutic circle of interpretation. Participants: Seven participants were interviewed who had received Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy within National Health Service primary care psychological therapy services for posttraumatic stress disorder. Findings: Four superordinate themes emerged from the analysis of the participant accounts including: (i) Safe and secure; (ii) Taking back control; (iii) Reconstructing the self; and (iv) Journeying beyond trauma to the future. Conclusions: Person-centred conditions and client-therapist attachment were important elements of the therapeutic relationship which provided participants with the safety, trust, and relational depth necessary for the facilitation of experiences of posttraumatic growth during Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy. Implications: The findings emphasise the importance of a clinical focus on the quality of the therapeutic relationship as a facilitative therapeutic environment allowing affective-cognitive processing and the emergence of posttraumatic growth.

Thesis (MA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2011.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This research study aims to approach illicit market activity, particularly transnational organ-ised crime, from a political-economy point of view. The study of illicit market activity is characterised by various and often ambiguous concepts and approaches. The benefits of a political-economy approach include the provision of an alternative view of the illicit, combin-ing aspects from these various approaches. The study of the Global Political Economy (GPE) examines the relationship between authority, mostly in the form of states, and markets. This thesis looks at the relationship between the state and illicit markets. It does so by using the concept Illicit Global Political Economy (IGPE), which is defined as concerning the social, political and economic arrangements affecting the global systems of illicit production, ex-change and distribution, and the mix of values reflected therein. States, illicit markets and criminal actors are considered here as interdependent and interrelated parts of the IGPE spe-cifically, and the overall GPE. Within this relationship several „roles‟ of the state are identi-fied: the state as a creator and regulator of the illicit, through its legislative and executive au-thorities; the state as a locale of the illicit, as home, host, transhipment or service state for transnational criminal activities; the state as a victim of the illicit, for example, through the inherent nature of crime denying the state´s jurisdiction over its territory and also through the use of violence or corruption by criminals; and the state as a facilitator for illicit activity, meaning that certain characteristics of states can enable illicit activity. This thesis is primarily concerned with the last role of the state. It is argued that certain characteristics of states, par-ticularly weak and transitional states, enable the state´s exploitation by criminal actors. In the framework provided by Phil Williams (2002) seven of these characteristics are referred to as capacity gaps, which can result in functional holes, possibly enabling illicit activity. The pri-mary research question of this thesis is, consequently: Is the role of the state as a facilitator in the IGPE enabled by the existence of capacity gaps and functional holes? The West African state of Guinea-Bissau has been chosen as a case study for its role as a transhipment state in the global cocaine trade. In the first part of the analytical process of this thesis, the global cocaine trade and its historical development are described and analysed for the social, political and economic arrangements affecting it. This highlights the im-portance of taking into account these arrangements for a full understanding of the illicit. Addi-tionally, an analysis of the political-economy of Guinea-Bissau provides the necessary back-ground for understanding the second part of this thesis´ approach. Here, the state of Guinea-Bissau is examined firstly for the existence of capacity gaps and functional holes. If they are found to exist, whether and how they are being used by cocaine traffickers is examined. It was found that six out of seven capacity gaps exist in Guinea-Bissau, most of which are being used by the cocaine traffickers. The involvement of the military in the drug trade in combina-tion with its apparent extra-judicial standing is found to be of particular importance for the cocaine traffickers. This analysis allows for the research question to be answered positively. Moreover, the thesis can be considered to generally affirm the usefulness of a political-economy approach to analysing the illicit and affirms specifically the usefulness of the con-cept of the IGPE.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie navorsingstudie poog om onwettige markaktiwiteite, spesifiek transnasionale georganiseerde misdaad, uit 'n politiek-ekonomiese standpunt te benader. Die studie van die onwettige word gekarakteriseer deur verskeie en dikwels dubbelsinnige konsepte en benaderings. Die voordele van 'n politiek-ekonomiese benadering sluit die voorsiening van 'n alternatiewe beskouing van die onwettige dus 'n kombinasie van aspekte van die verskillende benaderings. Die studie van Globale Politieke Ekonomie (GPE) fokus op die verhouding tussen gesag, meestal in die vorm van die state en markte. Hierdie tesis fokus op die verhouding tussen die staat en onwettige markte. Dit word gedoen deur gebruik te maak van die konsep Onwettige Globale Politieke Ekonomie (OGPE), wat gedefinieer kan word as die sosiale, politieke en ekonomiese reëlings wat die globale sisteem van onwettige produksie, wisseling en dustribusie affekteer, en die vermenging van waardes wat daardeur gereflekteer word. State, markte en kriminele akteurs word hier beskou as afhanklike en onderliggende dele van die OGPE, spesifiek, en die algehele GPE. Binne hierdie verhouding kan daar verskeie „rolle‟ van die staat geïdentifiseer word: die staat as skepper en reguleerder van die onwettige deur die wetgewende en uitvoerende gesag; die staat as lokaliteit van die onwettige, as tuiste, gasheer, oorskeping of diens staat vir transnasionale georganiseerde misdaadaktiwiteite; die staat as slagoffer van die onwettige, byvoorbeeld deur die inherente natuur van misdaad wat die staat se jurisdiksie oor sy grense ontneem asook deur die gebruik van geweld of korrupsie deur kriminele; en die staat as fasiliteerder vir onwettige aktiwiteite, wat beteken dat sekere eienskappe van die staat onwettige aktiwiteite moontlik maak. Hierdie tesis fokus spesifiek op laasgenoemde rol van die staat. Daar word geargumenteer dat sekere eienskappe van state, meer spesifiek swak en oorgangstate, dit makliker maak vir kriminele akteurs om die staat uit te buit. In die raamwerk wat voorgestel word deur Phil Williams (2002) word daar sewe van hierdie eienskappe geïdentifiseer en verwys na as kapasiteitsopeninge wat funksionele gapings kan veroorsaak, en so onwettinge aktiwiteite moontlik maak. Die primêre navorsingsvraag van hierdie tesis is gevolglik: Word die rol van die staat as fasiliteerder in die OGPE moontlik gemaak deur die teenwoordigheid van kapasiteitsopeninge en funksionele gapings? Die Wes-Afrika staat Guinee-Bissau dien as gevallestudie vir sy rol as oorskeep staat in globale handel in kokaïen. In die eerste gedeelte van die analitiese proses van hierdie tesis, word globale handel in kokaïen en die historiese ontwikkeling daarvan beskryf en geanaliseer vir die sosiale, politieke en ekonomiese reëlings wat ‟n impak daarop het. Dit bring die belangrikheid van die inagneming van hierdie reëlings, indien die onwettige verstaan wil word, na vore. 'n Addisonele analiese van die politieke ekonomie van Guinee-Bissau verskaf die nodige agtergrond- informasie om die tweede gedeelte van hierdie tesis se benadering te verstaan. Hier die staat Guinee-Bissau word eerstens ondersoek vir die teenwoordigheid van kapasiteitsopeninge en funksionele gapings, en tweedens hoe dit gebruik word deur kokaïen smokkelaars. Die studie vind dat ses vanuit die sewe kapasiteitsopeninge wel in Guinee-Bissau voorkom en gebruik word deur smokkelaars. Die wederregtelike rol van die landmag, wat gewoonlik die smokkelaars ondersteun, is vir die smokkelaars baie belangrik. Hierdie analiese laat dit toe dat die navorsingsvraag positief beantwoord word. Verder, in hierdie tesis word die bruikbaarheid van 'n politiek-ekonomiese aanslag tot die onwettige en die spesifieke teoretiese fondasies daarvan bevestig.

In order to find the factors responsible for adoption of mobile wallet services in India, an descriptive research was carried out using the online survey. Non-random, convenience sampling was used to collect the data from the respondents. A total of 153 respondents participated in the survey. The data obtained was subjected to regression analysis for identifying the hypothesis which were statistically analysis and the factors which significantly influenced the behavioral intention of respondents were identified.
The factors of performance expectancy, facilitation condition, perceived trust, and customer incentive were found to be significantly influence the behavioral intention.
In addition to the identifying the reasons, that would attract the customers, some recommendations have also been suggested to make the service take off in a developing country like India.

This study aims to explore how work condition of policemen, firefighters and nurses relates to their work-family conflict (WFC) and work-family facilitation (WFF) as well as how WFC and WFF influence their family satisfaction. The subject of this study includes policemen, firemen and nurses, with 516 valid samples from Taipei City, New Taipei City and the area of outlying islands. Within this sample, subjects’ average age were 34 years old, 59% got married, 52.5% raised their own children, and up to 91.9% were not in the managerial position. Compared to workers in other fields, policemen, firefighters and nurses had a relatively high and stable level of salary, but had to work for longer time and had a high level of work stress. Their average income were about 58,340 NT dollars and 87.8% worked longer than 42 hours per week. These workers also perceived a higher level of work stress than workers in other fields. Within these three professionals, firefighters worked longer and felt a higher level of work stress and work-family conflict than policemen and nurses; however, policemen perceived a higher degree of work-family facilitation than another two professionals. The results show that the workers who had a lower salary, worked for longer time or perceived more work stress tend to have a higher degree of work-family conflict. Furthermore, the higher salary one has, the higher degree of work-family facilitation he/she perceived. Lastly, the workers who felt a lower level of work-family conflict and a higher level of work-family facilitation tend to have a higher degree of family satisfaction.

This research explores the relationship between intention and actual usage of self-service technology (SST), and investigates the effects of facilitating conditions and customer readiness on customer adoption of SST. In recent years, self-service technologies have created many new service contents; nevertheless, the actual utilization is not actually common yet. Therefore, this research try to explore the relationship between customer readiness and facilitating conditions on the actual use of SST, then focus on narrowing the gap between intention to use SST and actual usage of SST. We believe that this understanding is imperative for service providers to make proactive strategies for fostering customers’ intention and actual usage of the SST. The framework makes it possible to understand and predict customer trial related to using self-service technology by thoroughly examining underlying customer readiness degree and use the internet to illustrate how our framework can be applied to study customer behavior related to a specific self-service technology. To analyze the longitudinal effect, a two-stage survey was conducted and lasted for seven months. As it is well known that behavior intention does not necessary lead to actual behavior, our findings offer proactive strategies to service providers in turning intention into actual usage. Implications are discussed for managerial strategy as well as for future research. The research can be referred as marketing strategy for self-service or kiosk industry, and on academic contribution of narrowing the gap between intention and actual use. It is expected that it is helpful to facilitate self-service development and to enrich customer experience and competitiveness in Taiwan.

"User involvement as a measure of accountability: an exploration on the facilitative conditions for accountability to the service users in social work service." Thesis, 2005. http://library.cuhk.edu.hk/record=b6074111.
Повний текст джерелаАнотація:
In this exploratory study, several conditions are identified as facilitative to a mandate of accountability to the welfare service users premised on a social process of cooperative inquiry. Firstly, constructive pressure from an extraneous surveillance power is necessary to instigate the structural inclusion of the welfare service users, without which the prevalent power asymmetry between the welfare service users and the professional service providers cannot be easily rocked. Secondly, enhanced social encounter and sustained interaction between the welfare service users and the service providers is the basis for emergent trust and alliance facilitative to an eventual power sharing that a mandate of accountability to the welfare service users demands. Thirdly, an ideological allegiance to the liberatory orientation of social work professionalism is imperative to nurturing the service providers' political commitment to the course of partnership with the service-using principal that a mandate of accountability to them requires. Realization of the service providers' accountability to the welfare service users invariably lies in the dialectic interaction between managerialism and professionalism.Meanwhile, the study identifies different manifestation of the user involvement rhetoric between service units serving the elderly and the disabled persons (the "frail" group) and those serving clienteles with psychosocial or moral deficiency (the "deviant" group). It is the contention of this thesis that the greater strength and wider scope of user involvement as featured in the institutional structure of service units in the "frail" group does not necessarily correspond to a state of power symmetry that allows authentic argumentation between the professional service providers and the welfare service users in their discursive encounter. Given the multifarious strategies enabling the service providers to exert control over the welfare service users, the service providers' attitude in their relationship with the welfare service users is crucial for effecting change in the prevailing power position of the welfare service users. Materialization of a mandate of accountability to the welfare service users is hence premised on the prevalence of a cultural code that can embrace a more egalitarian relationship with the welfare service users among the service providers.
The last decades have seen a wide-reaching quest for reforms in the Hong Kong public sector. Among the multifarious managerial changes imposed on the Hong Kong welfare sector, the Service Performance Monitoring System instigated in 1999 embraces the irrefutable rhetoric of accountability that subjugates welfare service units in Hong Kong to a renewed mandate of managerial control premised on performance measurement and the enhanced involvement of the welfare service users. It is this policy context that revitalizes the user participation ethos that the profession of social work has always been supporting. By the mixed methodology of survey and case study, the research on which this thesis is based endeavours to locate the structural properties of the commonly incepted user involvement mechanism among the Hong Kong welfare service units, and to discern the processual dynamics in the discursive space enabled by the structural inclusion of the welfare service users. This is meant to advance our understanding on the ways by which user involvement enables a mandate of accountability premised on a cooperative inquiry with the welfare service users.
The study identifies a generally limited strength and scope in the user involvement initiatives adopted by the welfare service units. The discursive encounter between the service-using principal and the service-providing agent was also fused with tension. The tension was manifested in the service providers' unease at the accountability discourse, which legitimized the authority of the welfare service users in the management structure of the service units. In a service environment where the managerial discourse and the professional discourse used to compete for dominance, both the managerialist and professional tenets were employed by the service-providing informants to confront the tension and neutralize the implied power of the welfare service users, however meager it was. Whilst structural inclusion of the service users is a necessary condition for tackling the management risk arising from necessary entrustment to the service-providing agent, this thesis contends that structural re-engineering by itself is insufficient to ensure the advancement of the service-using principal's influence in their accountability relationship with the professional service providers.

Ainda que as novas formas de gestão já valorizem a adoção de ferramentas e algoritmos de análise de base de dados, estando, por sua vez, cada vez mais predispostas a utilizar análises em tempo real e preditivas, existe ainda alguma relutância por parte das gerações mais conservadoras para a sua adoção.
Apesar de a literatura já antecipar algumas motivações e desafios, não existe, ainda assim, informação específica sobre o mercado português ou a população portuguesa (Arasteh, Aliahmadi, Mahmoodi, & Mohammadpour, 2011; Chen, Chiang, & Storey, 2012).
Por conseguinte, o propósito da investigação será procurar identificar as motivações por detrás da adoção do Business Analytics na população portuguesa.
Para este efeito foi realizado um estudo exploratório tendo como base o modelo desenvolvido por Venkatesh, Thong, & Xu, (2012) a: Unified Theory of Acceptance and use of Technology (UTAUT).
A base de dados estudada foi obtida através da realização de um inquérito por questionário online, cujo público alvo foi a população portuguesa. O universo total de respostas foi de 102, sendo que 47,8% dos inquiridos se identificam como indivíduos do sexo Masculino e 52,2% como sendo do sexo Feminino.
A análise realizada permitiu a identificação de quatro determinantes de aceitação a Expectativa de Desempenho, Expectativa de Esforço, Condições Facilitadoras e a Intenção Comportamental.
Verificou-se também que as motivações por detrás da adoção do Business Analytics dependem principalmente da posição hierárquica em que a pessoa está inserida. Todavia, concluiu-se que o preço e a expectativa do retorno do investimento não são o maior impeditivo na adoção do Business Analytics. No entanto, a conclusão mais importante foi a identificação do não conhecimento e do medo da inteligência artificial como os principais condicionantes à adoção.Business Analytics and Business Intelligence is an emerging trend in Management nowadays. However, despite the advantages perceived by some managers in the utilization of more predictive algorithms and tools, still exists some others that are more conservative about it. Moreover, the literature identifies some advantages and limitations regarding the adoption of Business Analytics, nonetheless does not exists information respecting the adoption in the Portuguese Market or about the Portuguese population (Arasteh et al., 2011; Chen et al., 2012). Hence, the main goal of the study was to identify the reasons and motivations for the adoption of the Business Analytics in the Portuguese population. Thereby, in order to identify the acceptation determinants an exploratory study was carried based on a model suggested by Venkatesh et al. (2012), the Unified Theory of Acceptance and use of Technology (UTAUT). The database information was obtained through an online survey questionnaire, and the universe of the research was 102 answers, with 47,8% had been of masculine sex and 52,2% of the feminine one. Additionally, the analysis allowed the identification of four acceptation determinants; the Performance Expectancy, the Effort Expectancy, the Facilitating Conditions and the Behavioral Condition Furthermore, we were able to conclude that the motivations are depend on the hierarchical position of the individual and that the price does not influence the adoption as expected. However, the main conclusion was the identification of the lack of information and the fear of the artificial intelligence as the main constraints.

La Liste du patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO exerce une forte attraction à l’échelle internationale. Cette recherche aborde des démarches accomplies par l’État du Nicaragua en vue de l’inscription de la Cathédrale
de León, et tente de déterminer le potentiel de réussite de cette candidature. En premier lieu, nous faisons une réflexion sur la Liste du patrimoine mondial, en regard de la Convention du patrimoine mondial et des
États parties. En deuxième lieu, à partir de la décision du Comité concernant le projet du Nicaragua, nous mettons en lumière le manque de coordination entre les parties prenantes, soit entre les instances nationales, locales et diocésaines. Les données récoltées à León nous permettent d’observer que la coordination entre les parties prenantes est essentielle à la réalisation du projet d’inscription, tant pour la consolidation du dossier que pour la protection du bien. Nous soulevons ensuite les enjeux et les solutions envisageables. Afin de favoriser la participation de toutes les parties prenantes au projet, nous appliquons l’approche du « développement de consensus ». Les résultats de l’analyse révèlent néanmoins que la présence de conflits de valeurs empêche la création d’accords. Conséquemment, nous considérons que l’inscription de la Cathédrale de León est peu probable. Le processus d’inscription est une tâche ambitieuse, d’autant plus qu’il fait appel à la contribution d’une propriété privée sous l'égide d’une institution: l’Église Catholique. L’aboutissement du projet est confronté inévitablement à des enjeux de pouvoir, présents en toile de fond.UNESCO’s World Heritage List is widely recognized and of great importance internationally. This research outlines the steps undertaken by the State of Nicaragua to register the Cathedral of León on the List and attempts to determine the chances of success of its nomination. Firstly, we study the World Heritage List, in regards to the World Heritage Convention and the States Parties. Second, looking at the Committee’s decision concerning the Nicaragua project, we highlight the lack of coordination between the principal stakeholders, namely the national, local and diocesan levels. Data collected in León allow us to observe that coordination between the stakeholders is essential for the registration project, affecting the consolidation of the dossier as well as the protection of property. We then analyze the issues and the possible solutions. To promote the participation of all stakeholders, we apply the approach of "consensus building". However, the results of the analysis show that ”conflicts in values” prevent the creation of agreements. We therefore conclude that the Cathedral of León has a low chance of being registered on the World Heritage List. The registration process is an ambitious task, all the more as the project requires the implication of a private property under the aegis of an institution: the Catholic Church. Its fulfillment is inevitably impacted by issues of power underlying the nomination project.

Cette étude vise à évaluer les éléments facilitants et les barrières à l’implantation du programme d’éducation à la nutrition Camille, Antoine et l’archipel Ôlait, développé par les Producteurs laitiers du Canada (PLC), auprès d’enseignants du préscolaire provenant de six régions du Québec et ayant reçu un atelier de formation animé par une diététiste des PLC. Elle vise également à connaître le degré d’implantation et la fidélité du programme ainsi que son appréciation, son utilisation et sa pertinence. Après une moyenne de 5 mois d’implantation, un questionnaire auto-administré a été complété par 37 enseignants (N = 86, 43 %), dont 10 utilisateurs (27 %) et 27 non-utilisateurs (73 %). Puis, des groupes de discussion ont eu lieu avec 13 enseignants (N = 170, 8 %). En moyenne, 11,4 activités sur 30 ont été réalisées (38 %), dont 6,3 telles quelles (55 %) et 5,1 modifiées (45 %), et les enseignants ont rapporté avoir l’intention de refaire 6,1 activités (54 %). L’implantation du programme a été facilitée ou limitée par différentes caractéristiques des enseignants, par l’appréciation de son contenu et son format, par sa pertinence concernant les exigences pédagogiques au préscolaire, la réalité des élèves et des parents et les objectifs d’apprentissages en nutrition, par le milieu scolaire, familial et communautaire ainsi que par la crédibilité et le support des PLC. Plusieurs de ces facteurs sont à la fois des éléments facilitants et des barrières. Les résultats obtenus aideront à ajuster ce programme et guider le développement et l’évaluation de programmes similaires.This study aims to assess the facilitating conditions and barriers to the implementation of Camille, Antoine et l’archipel Ôlait nutrition education program, develop by the Dairy Farmers of Canada (DFC), with preschool teachers, from six regions of Québec, who assisted a workshop delivered by a dietitian from DFC. It also seeks to know the degree of implementation and fidelity of the program and its assessment, its use and relevance. Following an average of five months of implementation, a self-administered questionnaire was completed by 37 teachers (N = 86, 43 %), 10 users (27 %) and 27 non-users (73 %). Then, focus groups were held with 13 teachers (N = 170, 8 %). On average, 11.4 out of 30 activities have been carried out (38 %), including 6.3 as planned (55 %) and 5.1 modified (45 %), and teachers reported that it intends to repeat 6.1 activities (54 %). Implementation of the program was facilitated or limited by various characteristics of teachers, the assessment of its content and its format, its relevance to the educational requirements for preschool, the reality of pupils and their parents and objectives in nutrition learning, at school, in their family and community as well as the credibility and support of the DFC. Many of those factors are both facilitating conditions and barriers. The results will help to adjust the program and guide the development and evaluation of similar programs.

This research emerged with the intent to analyze Cause-related Marketing from the perspective of companies. The main purpose was to collect, gather and to interpret information regarding this subject, trying to achieve a better understanding about what managers think about CrM: analyzing the level of acceptance and usage of this marketing tool, based on the model UTAUT, used to interpret the collected data.
As research method the main adopted method was in-depth interviews, but a brief questionnaire was also provided to the interviewees in order to receive additional information. Even though CrM was well evaluated by the participants and is well positioned in terms of acceptance and usage, based on the four factors analyzed: performance and effort expectancy, social influence and facilitating conditions, this study lead to conclusion that managers see the benefit of company partaken in initiatives as such but not necessarily Cause-related Marketing. Interviewees express excitement towards CrM, but even more for the idea of companies really caring and taking their interest, time and funds to help consumers social concerns, not necessarily in the way of a partnership with a cause but as a way of being of the firm.Esta pesquisa surgiu com o propósito de analisar o Marketing relacionado com Causas sob a perspetiva das empresas.

Apesar de, de forma geral, esta ferramenta de marketing, estar bem avaliada pelos participantes e encontrar-se bem posicionada em termos de aceitação e uso, com base nos quatro fatores analisados: expectativa de desempenho, expectativa de esforço, influência social e condições facilitadoras, este estudo levou à conclusão de que os gestores vêm o benefício da empresa participar em iniciativas deste género, mas não necessária e exclusivamente desta forma concreta. Os entrevistados expressam entusiasmo com este tipo de marketing, mas mais ainda pela ideia de empresas serem verdadeiramente preocupadas e que dedicarem interesse, tempo e recursos para ajudar com assuntos que representam as preocupações sociais dos consumidores, não necessariamente na forma de uma parceria com uma causa, mas como um modo de ser da empresa.

The escalating figures of unemployment and poverty in South Africa are posing a threat to the nuclear family. The deteriorating conditions in the home environment, particularly regarding material provision, has led to an increase in disadvantaged home environments. The investigation in this study focused mainly on the self-concepts of adolescents from disadvantaged home environments. The aim of the research was to see how the home environment influences the self-concept of an adolescent in disadvantaged areas.
The literature study showed that factors such as unemployment, poverty, low socio-economic background, single parenthood, absent parents, parents' level of literacy and parenting styles were associated with disadvantaged home environments. With regard to the self-concept the researcher probed the physical, emotional, social, academic and general self-concepts.
An empirical investigation was undertaken regarding grade 9 and 11 learners in Hebron in the North West Province. A structured questionnaire was developed focusing on home environment and self-concept.
By using Pearson's correlation, ANOVA and Tukey's t-test, findings indicated that there is a significant relationship between home environment and the self-concept. The adolescent's emotional self-concept is affected by religion, supervision at home (parent or guardian) and the number of siblings in the family. Moreover, girls had a better social self-concept than boys. On the whole the physical, academic, social and general self-concepts were not affected by religion, number of siblings in the family and different kinds of supervision. With regard to the physical self-concept it was found that it differed with age.
Therefore, the educators who facilitate Life Orientation in the General Education and Training (GET) band and Life Skills in the Further Education and Training (FET) band should assist children who come from disadvantaged home environments by applying intervention strategies suggested by the researcher in this study to foster positive self-concepts in adolescents. Positive self-concepts are key factors for successful learning, general behavioural patterns and high participation in school activities. Upgrading of educators is also recommended so that they are fully equipped to assist a learner who is from a deprived home environment.Educational Studies

Participatory development is believed to be an essential ingredient of the development
process because it enables the people to influence the policy and decision-making process. It
facilitates the designing of and enhances the implementation of plans and programmes or projects
and that participation results in the development of ownership and belonging among the people
themselves. This feeling in turn goes a long way to ensure the success of a programme or project.
This study highlights some of the elements that led to the successful implementation of an
income-generating project with women. The study also demonstrates that the people's own ideas are
able to command adequate levels of participation, support and commitment to enhance their ability
to meet their needs. The study further looks at the ownership of the project as very important for
successful implementation and that projects or programmes should be facilitated within the means
of the local participants to manage and control them.
The elements mentioned in this study are an essential part of participatory development and enable
the people to learn to take charge of their lives and solve their own problems.
The study further looks at cultural and traditional values as an essential part of human growth,
because local action taken by the women is very important in promoting overall success of the
project.Social work
