This dissertation consists of two topics. Chapter 1 explores the relationship between firm transparency and managerial behaviors of the U.S. Property-Casualty (P&C) insurers. Using data between 1996 and 2015, we test whether credit rating agencies (CRAs) provide useful information to monitor insurers’ loss reserve management behaviors as watchdogs. In addition, we investigate how insurers recognize the rating difference given by different CRAs. We find that holding a rating does not necessarily affect insurers’ reserve management behaviors. However, loss reserve estimation tends to be more accurate as more ratings are given to an insurer. Such findings suggest that multiple CRAs stimulate insurers to accurately estimate their reserves through the enhanced monitoring function. We also find a marginal impact of rating difference on an insurer’s loss reserve estimation. Firms with rating difference tend to underestimate their loss reserves. Nevertheless, this does not considerably deteriorate the reserve forecast accuracy. Although the Sarbanes–Oxley Act (SOX) aims at regulating publicly traded firms, it seems to affect over the market. Our empirical results show that insurers’ reserve estimation accuracy is improved after the enactment of the SOX. Moreover, the enactment of SOX alleviates an under-reserving behavior of firms with rating difference. Chapter 2 investigates the derivative practice of the U.S. life insurers. Over the last two decades, derivatives have been used extensively as a risk management tool in the financial market. In the U.S. insurance market, life insurers have accounted for over 95% of total derivative transactions, a proportion much higher than that in other countries. However, there are only a few prior studies examining the practical use of derivatives in the U.S. life insurance market. In addition, several limitations exist in terms of data they used (single-year, outdated, and inaccurate). In this study, we compile accurate derivative transaction data by taking a close look at the underlying asset and the traded market. We then examine the determinants of derivative (swap in particular) participation and the extent of transactions using samples from 2001 to 2015 which includes major events such as the U.S. financial crisis and the Dodd-Frank Act. We find that the determinants of derivative/swap participation are different from those of transaction volumes. We also find that the impact of the financial crisis on derivative usage is very limited in the life insurance market. However, the enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act not only reduces the likelihood of swap participation but also stagnates the growth of the swap transaction volumes, while the total derivative transaction volumes are significantly increased. Such findings indicate that the costs of the new regulation outweigh its benefits, due to the inefficient and inadequate regulatory changes.

The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine the phenomenon of social networking sites (SNSs) and its impact on practicing human service professionals. In this exploratory study, 33 interviews, comprised of family life educators and social workers, were conducted in order to gain the perspective of how SNSs were being used in practice. A phenomenological approach was used to get at the lived experiences of these professionals. In addition, a Johari Window lens provided a way to understand the level of transparency professionals had when interacting with the digital culture. Themes found described how SNSs were being utilized in practice. These centered on benefits to the agency, clientele, and to the professional. The changing technological climate was shown to be impacting the delivery of services, yet professionals were underutilizing SNSs in practice. Regardless if the professional was on or offline, being recognized as a professional was extremely important. As a result, professionals were cognizant of potential consequences of using SNSs for professional and personal use. This awareness not only led professionals to want to safeguard their privacy, but also provided an opportunity for these professionals to develop guidelines for ethical digital behavior. Implications for research include exploring how a person’s digital status should be defined, if at all, how do privacy and ‘connecting’ influence each other, and what is the impact of viewing others’ posts on the ego strength of the person. The biggest implication for practice was the need for specific policies designed around professional digital behavior. In the absence of specific guidelines, professionals established their own set of rules to guide their practice. However, as more agencies and professions begin to see the need for and develop policies for SNS use, professionals will need to assimilate these new guidelines into their practice.

Повний текст джерелаThis study is an exploration of best social audit practices in public service delivery from selected countries: Lessons for the South African local government. The study is vital in that the end of apartheid ushered in new sets of challenges in the country and one of these was the need for transformation which saw the birth of the 1996 Constitution which introduced Local government in South Africa which consists of the municipalities. Local government then emerged as the sphere of government closest to the people providing basic services. This is consistent with Part B of Schedule 4 of the 1996 Constitution, which mandates municipalities the responsibility for basic services. This is also supported by the White Paper on Local Government of 1998, the Municipal Structures Act, of 1998 and the Systems Act of 2000 which all explain on the need for the municipality to deliver services, yet many residents are not being served leading to service delivery protest to ensure that service are delivered and others turning to social accountability mechanism such as social audits to improve governance and accountability. This study aims to discover knowledge of best social audit practices from selected countries, aims to describe the best social audit practices and methods of selected countries practicing social audits such as Canada, India and Kenya; outline the challenges of social audits from selected countries and discusses the significance of social audit and methods of selected countries. To achieve this goal the study employed a qualitative research approach and collected data from websites, journals, articles and information on local government in South Africa. The study is both descriptive and exploratory and does not intend to provide conclusive evidence but helps us to have a better understanding of the social audit concept. The study found that the social audit concept yielded considerable and positive results in the selected countries and led to an increase in accountability, participation and transparency, led to an improved service delivery and were effective in detecting corruption and irregularities. It also found that there were challenges relating to social audits like the lack of access to reliable information, the intensive nature of the audit process, the threatening of social auditors and the lack of cooperation within the social audit process. This study suggests that the South African local government sector, explores the social audit concept and process, learn from the challenges relating to social audits, amend its legislation to align with international standards and further strengthen legislation in order to ensure that enabling legislation exists for social audits to operate within. This research provides insights into the social audit concept and its application in selected countries as lessons for the South African local government sector.

Повний текст джерелаCompetition provisions seek to regulate the abuse of economic power in unequal commercial relationships. However, in the process, such provisions should not have the effect of adversely impacting the market or harming the proper functioning of other competition rules. When there exists a significant power disparity between parties, the stronger party can impose unequal conditions on the weaker party, particularly through what is called the "fear factor". During the duration of the contractial relationship, the weaker party will not be able to stand up to the stronger party in fear of the commercial relationship being terminated. This is why oppressive behaviors continue in reality, despite the presence of numerous regulations designed to prevent such behaviors. Law makers have a tendency to react by hastily enacting ad hoc regulations. The adaptability of powerful corporations to circumvent the rules is often overlooked. Ultimately, abuses of economic power can only be regulated on a sustainable basis through the creation of a more balanced and less concentrated market. It is in this context that a truly structural approach should be considered. This analysis compares the principal measures against abuses of economic power employed in France and Korea, which sometimes adopt different responses to similar circumstances

Повний текст джерелаThe purpose of the research topic is to study the relationship between Competition Law and Unfair trading practices Law. At first glance, these two parts of competition law stand out. The Competition Law is composed of a small number of general and permanent rules designed to protect competition on the market where the Unfair trading practices Law rests on a rather heterogeneous set of rules and evolves according to frequent reforms aimed at to protect competitors from abuses by their trading partners. Yet a rapprochement of these Law is perceptible. On the one hand, he intervened with the notion of company. Presented as the subject of the Competition Law, it gradually became the subject of the Unfair trading practices Law. On the other hand, a reciprocal interference of rights is emerging. In apprehending the abuse of economic dependence, the Competition Law impinges on the purpose pursued by the Unfair trading practices Law. The latter, because of a jurisprudential evolution conferring upon it an objective of protection of the functioning of the market and competition, also interferes with a purpose which does not devolve upon it. Evolutions then appear necessary in two respects. The first is to propose to reduce the competition law to the sole right of anti-competitive practices. The use of abuse of a dominant position or anticompetitive agreements already makes it possible to apprehend unfair trading practices. The refocusing of competition law is also an opportunity to rethink the rules relating to the regulation of prices that are unreasonably low.The second deals with a reconstruction of the Unfair trading practices Law. It is to become an Unfair practice between companies Law. This proposal elaborates on the changes made by Ordinance No. 2019-359 of 24 April 2019. A new positioning in the Commercial Code is suggested as a consequence of its exit from Competition Law. The design of a new law designed to regulate contractual abuses between companies is an opportunity to return to the links established with Contract Law. It maintains, with this one, links of complementarity. It is then necessary to reinforce the rules governing its implementation. A convergence with those that make up the Competition Law is envisaged because of the wealth of tools it contains. On the one hand, their spread within the Unfair practice between companies Law will be an opportunity to modernize the mechanisms of public action by providing procedures to facilitate the detection of abusive practices or strengthening the effectiveness of the repression. This is also reflected in the transformation of the CEPC into an authority with advisory and sanctioning powers. On the other hand, the Competition Law constitutes a source of inspiration for the elaboration of rules intended to favor the development of the actions in reparation due to an unfair practice between companies and takes shape on different levels: by the consecration of provisions to improve the articulation with the objective litigation, by the incorporation of measures simplifying the actions in repair

Повний текст джерелаEm um mercado cada vez mais competitivo os recursos de Tecnologia da Informação e Comunicação (TIC) são essenciais e estratégicos nas organizações. Atualmente, o uso das TICs é uma questão de sobrevivência do negócio. Da mesma forma que as organizações e o mercado estão em constantes mudanças, as TICs estão em constante evolução, não sendo mais concebível tratá-las apenas como recursos de apoio, mas também como um recurso estratégico, com riscos para o negócio e sendo conhecido por todos. Consequentemente, o emprego dos recursos tecnológicos deve estar alinhado com os objetivos do negócio. Faz-se necessário, então, identificar como as organizações estão promovendo o alinhamento das estratégias de TIC com as estratégias do negócio e como estão sendo tratadas as questões dos riscos e da comunicação e transparência de TIC. O presente trabalho investigou, após a aplicação de um questionário eletrônico (survey) aos Chiefs Information Officer sergipanos, como as práticas de governança de TIC são adotadas pelas empresas e como se encontram o planejamento e o alinhamento estratégico entre TIC e negócio. Como resultado, observou-se uma carência das organizações na gestão de riscos, dos processos de comunicação e do alinhamento estratégico entre TIC e negócio, bem como se constatou que as principais práticas de governança da TIC utilizadas foram Planejamento Estratégico de TIC próprio ou customizado, ITIL, PMBOK e BSC. Além das práticas de governança de TIC citadas, existem outras metodologias e frameworks que propõem a gestão eficiente dos objetivos de TIC, alinhados com a estratégia organização, dentre elas a Metodologia PETIC, desenvolvida pela Universidade Federal de Sergipe. Neste cenário, são propostas melhorias na Metodologia PETIC, incorporando ao seu escopo a gestão de riscos e gestão da comunicação e transparência de TIC, possibilitando uma avaliação de TIC eficiente e alinhada com os objetivos estratégicos do negócio. Para evidenciar a suposição apresentada que a inclusão da gestão de riscos e de comunicação e transparência na Metodologia PETIC permitem a elaboração de um PE de TIC mais alinhado com os objetivos do negócio um estudo de caso foi aplicado em uma empresa sergipana e, por meio de análises qualitativas e quantitativas das métricas previamente definidas, constatou-se o aprimoramento na elaboração do planejamento estratégico de TIC e na gestão dos riscos e da comunicação e transparência.

Smart devices and mobile applications (apps) are increasingly indispensable to modern people. When users operate their smart devices and apps, however, they share a variety of personal information with a multitude of known or unknown players, which significantly raises the public’s concerns on possible privacy invasion. How to protect user’s mobile privacy thus becomes a timely issue. This thesis explores how apps collect personal data, which type of data is collected, and why those practices impose risks on user’s personal privacy. The thesis further analyze the opinions and staff reports of the European Union, United States and International Governmental Organizations newly published in 2013, and find that the notice-and-consent mechanism remains a primary regulatory measure in securing mobile privacy. As identifying the key rule of transparency, the thesis makes an empirical study survey Taiwanese mobile apps user how their attitude and awareness toward current notice-and-consent mechanism and mobile privacy. Basing on the result of the survey, the thesis concludes the deficiencies of notice-and-consent mechanism and present an alternative approach to enhance the efficacy of privacy notice. On those bases, this thesis critically reviews Taiwan’s Personal Information Protection Act and other regulation pertinent to mobile privacy protection, and propose feasible resolutions to contemporary mobile privacy issues in Taiwan.

Повний текст джерелаThe present dissertation seeks to study the knowledge of Corporate Governance, including the outlines associated with the recent strengthening of the rules underlying the same. It is started by making a brief allusion to various scandals in the World, including some in Portugal. At the same time it is tried to establish the chronology of events that led to the creation, strengthening and updating of the legal regulations, international and national. In the Portuguese case, and regarding listed corporations, the recommendations by the CMVM, which came to establish and clarify some safeguarding terms of the rights of shareholders, are addressed. To analyze the Portuguese effects of the implementation of Societies’ Government, it was chosen as a practical case the EDP Group, which gradual implementation began in 2002, being that concern evident in all financial statements published since then.
Tatossian, Anaïs. "Les procédés scripturaux des salons de clavardage (en français, en anglais et en espagnol) chez les adolescents et les adultes." Thèse, 2010. http://hdl.handle.net/1866/6843.
Повний текст джерелаOne of the most sticking aspects of technological progress over the last fifteen years is computer- mediated communication (CMC): chatting, instant messaging, e-mail, discussion forums, blogs, social networking sites, etc. In addition to having significantly impacted contemporary society, these communication tools have greatly modified writing practices. The object of this study is group chatting which offers many writers the possibility of communicating simultaneous amongst themselves. This communication tool shows two important discursive and communicational characteristics. First, chatting is generally a hybrid form of communication: the code used is written, but the exchange of messages forms a dialogue structure resembling oral speech. Second, the spontaneous character of chatting imposes speed, both in encoding and decoding messages. Within the framework of a comparative study on writing practices in Francophone chatters (Tatossian and Dagenais 2008), four general categories for all writing variations in the corpus were established: abbreviatory processes, grapheme substitutions, word final neutralisations and expressive processes. Now we are interested in testing the rigueur of this classification in languages where the phonetico-graphical degree of correspondence differs. According to the Orthographic Depth Hypothesis [ODH] (Katz and Frost 1992), in which a transparent orthographic system (such as in Italian, Spanish or Serbo-Croatian) directly transpose phonemes into the orthographic system, we seek to verify whether our results for French can be generalised both to languages with a “transparent” orthographic system (Spanish) and to languages whose orthographic systems are “opaque” (French, English). For each language, two questions were asked: 1. How can attested scriptural practices be classified? 2. Are these graphic practices qualitatively and quantitatively similar amongst both adolescents and adults? The scriptural phenomena related to chatting also imply a generational identity. Adolescence is a period characterised by the quests for an identity. A study by Sebba (2003) on English shows that a relationship exists between “modified spelling” and the construction of identity in adolescents (i.e. graffiti, CMC). In addition, in these communication realms, we see the creation of a community of users based on common interests (Crystal 2006), such as in the adolescent community. A corpus was constructed from exchanges accessed through the Internet Relay Chat protocol. For each language in the study, two sociolinguistic distinct sub-corpora were defined: the first was made up of adolescent chat forums, the second, of a forum for adults. For each language, 4520 sentences, taken from various IRC channels for adolescents and adults, were analysed. First, a quantified inventory of the different scriptural phenomena collected was created and then the results were compared.

Повний текст джерелаDo the journalist's free conscience and independence need specific, reinforced protection in the new context of citizen ownership of the new information and communication technologies that enhance pluralism and democracy? Assuming that the rights of journalists exist only to better fulfill their duties to the public, we focus on one of the least studied rights of the Journalist Statute - the independence and conscience clause. This historical right that exists in several European countries, protects a status that is transverse to all journalism. In Portugal it is found in article 12 of the Journalist's Statute and is based on the principle that journalists should refuse acts that violate their free conscience and offend their dignity. In contemporary times where new rights and duties of the journalist arise, such as le droit opposition, the duty to forget, fact checking and the duty of transparency, this reflection addresses the importance of that right in a constructive way for the media and less stigmatizing for the journalist, in a path where Ethics follows a global path. The research is based on a methodological triangulation of qualitative and quantitative character, through case study, document analysis, surveys and interviews with experts. We conclude by the relevance and timeliness of the conscience clause regarding the labor-economic corset that conditions the freedom of the journalist in his professional practice, but we also look for new ways, new rights and new values and practices in this globalizing era, where news production goes viral on social media.
