Abstract:

The compulsory acquisition refers to situations where the minority shareholders are compelled to dispose of their shares. In certain instances the minority shareholders can compel the majority to acquire their shares by an enforced acquisition. The compulsory aspect is thus the unilateral and coercive aspect of the transaction that can arise subject to the fulfilment of certain statutory and regulatory requirements. These transactions are commonly known as squeeze-outs or freeze-outs, whereas sell outs is where minority shareholders have the right to have their shares acquired by the company on a compulsory basis. In this dissertation the argument will be made that the objective of these forms of transactions is to relieve the majority or controlling shareholder from undue oppression by the minority shareholders not only in instances of control transferred squeeze outs but also in respect to control maintained transactions. The dissertation will focus on the three main forms of squeeze-out transactions being the tender offer squeeze-out, the squeeze-out by means of a fundamental transaction and the supermajority squeeze-out transaction. The emphasis will be on how the first two forms of transactions are implemented in the South African context and a case will be made to include the final form in t out legal framework. A specific emphasis will be given to the regulation of these transactions in ensuing the fairness to the affected minority shareholders.

Abstract:

Government authority can, for public benefit purpose, take private ownership of land by compulsory purchase. Primary aim of this study is how to protect private land owners rights in spite of governments power of acquiring land. Bangladesh, as for details study, is a most densely populated country in the World. International best standards of practicing guidelines by FAO-UN, FIG and WB as well as other countries practice have reviewed from different perspectives. From theory, early stage negotiations, market value of property plus other damages, opportunity of involvement of all parties, protection of agricultural land , removal services all of those are the thorny of legal challenges to adopt into a new legislation in Bangladesh. Empirically, field study has conducted by way of interviewing from selected different projects in Bangladesh including largest project Padma Multiple Bridge. Huge destitute of land, unplanned city expansion, unsustainable development of infrastructure and environmental damage are remained as significant issues of sustainable development of land management. Analysis shows that Bangladesh has been losing 1% of agriculture land which related to the national employment and food production. 100% of the affected people wants to resettlement by the authority. There is clearly misusing of legal rights by the government authority: firstly, by using inequitable Acquisition and Requisition of Immovable Property Ordinance, 1982; no protection has been giving for religious place and graveyard under Antiquities Act, and Article 42(2) of Constitution also imposing unfair curtailment of rights for getting fair compensation. Finally, some recommendations have given for enacting a new legislation including planning permission, extended notice period, public meeting and review, agricultural land exempted, resettlement, valuation by valuers, in time compensation payment and right to Appeal.

Kakulu, Iyenemi Ibimina. "An analysis of processes and methods in compulsory land acquisition and compensation in Nigeria." Thesis, University of Reading, 2008. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.494445.

Full text

Abstract:

The process of valuation for compensation in compulsory acquisition of land takes place within distinct legal; cultural; socio-economic; political and historical environments which influence the delivery of the process by key actors in it. In Nigeria, the process suffers from a variety of problems rooted in a lack of understanding or consistent interpretation of relevant statutes and enactments. Using the law reforms of 1978 as a basis, and the ongoing conflicts and crisis situation in the Niger Delta as a specific case, the study explores the factors responsible for the current agitation about inadequate compensation within the oil producing communities in the Niger Delta region of the country. A qualitative research paradigm with an underlying philosophy in phenomenology formed the basis of the data collection and analysis. Data was collected through focus group interviews, in-depth interviews, questionnaires and review of archival documents. The findings of the study are that ambuguity in relevant statute, lack of transparency in land adminsitration coupled with bad governance and unethical professional practices all influence the valuation environment and ultimately the success of the compensation valuation process.

Abstract:

A culturally inclusive valuation method for assessing customary land compensation in compulsory acquisition is developed in this study. Cultural value is apparently identified as a compensation entitlement in customary land acquisition and the empirical valuation of its loss is based on the cumulative logistic regression formulation of deprived customary land owner's willingness to accept compensation. Compensation is then based on the integration of market value of tangible assets and the inherent cultural value in indigenous land. In this respect, proposed method embraces the normative standard of compensation equity and recognizes the reality of cultural value imperatives in indigenous land.

Abstract:

This essay researches video games and learning. The academic interest in video games is steadily growing and this teacher‟s degree unifies interactive game play with the learning possibilities of the media. The study compares the Swedish upper secondary school curriculum Lpf94 with Gee‟s educational theory. The correlations are analyzed for compatibility, and Bioware‟s 2007 video game Mass Effect is applied to see what elements are capable to teach playing students English. A qualitative methodology is used according to Malterud‟s template analysis style and follows a top-down fashion. The material is analyzed through a triangulation system where each piece is read as a text and is compared and interpreted. The results show that Lpf94 and Gee‟s theory has a generally high compatibility. English learning is viable since Mass Effect provides the player with a language simulator that puts the language in a logical environment. Although the game script is static, the study shows that Mass Effect includes vocabulary training, a pragmatic understanding of language, and a tool for class room teaching.

Abstract:

This essay has studied the extent to which research on language learning strategies has influenced four Swedish syllabi for the English subject in compulsory school year 7-9. The study has made use of hermeneutics to both categorize and interpret the various mentions of language learning strategies that can be seen throughout the various syllabi. All in all, it can be concluded that research, especially Swedish research, has come to increasingly influence the syllabi over time, which can be seen through both the increased number of mentions of language learning strategies and through the more clearly defined terminology used when mentioning the strategies in LGR 11 (2011). This development may be seen as showcasing a shift in focus from teaching methods regulated by the teacher to learning strategies applied by students and their significance for the degree of success and level of achievement reached in the target language. However, for the teachers and students reading the syllabus, it is still not overtly mentioned what the strategies are, and in order to find out, they have to find the description of language learning strategies on their own. It can, therefore, be beneficial to include workshops and seminars on the topic to ensure that all English teachers understand what kind of strategies they should be looking for in their students. This would strengthen the verification of the grades given to the students and the overall professionalism of the teachers. How exactly these seminars and workshops should be constructed and incorporated in schools and universities, however, is not within the scope of this essay, but can be determined in future studies on the subject.

Abstract:

Syftet med detta arbete är att komma med ett inlägg i diskussionen kring datorspel och spelandet av desamma. Detta genom att försöka påvisa att datorspelande har en inverkan på svenska elevers inlärning av det engelska språket. För att nå mitt mål genomförde jag kvalitativa intervjuer med lärare och elever på en skola vars undervisning är inriktad mot grundskolans senare år. Huvudsyftet med intervjuerna var att samla in information för att kunna föra en relevant diskussion kring datorspelandets inverkan på inlärning av engelska.

Resultatet visar att eleverna upplever det som att den mesta engelskan de lär sig snarare kommer från datorspelen än undervisningen i skolan. Många av eleverna tror dock att lärarna inte tycker om datorspel, men menar att det nog bara är för att de inte förstår vad det handlar om. Lärarna förstår dock nyttan av att spela datorspel på fritiden, samt har en övervägande positiv inställning till datorspel. En lärare upplever att spelande elever generellt sett är duktiga på engelska och tar till sig det engelska språket på ett annat sätt än andra elever. Ytterligare en lärarröst menar att elever som spelar har ett mer flexibelt och berikat språktänk, samt öppnar upp sitt sinne på ett friare sätt i jämförelse med sina klasskamrater.

The purpose of this paper is to make a contribution to the ongoing debate on computer games. My aim is to show that playing computer games affect the Swedish students’ acquisition of a foreign language, such as English. The method I used was qualitative interviews carried out on teachers as well as students at a school in the upper level of Compulsory School. The main purpose of these interviews was to gather subjective thoughts and attitudes from teachers and students to be able to lead a relevant discussion on computer games and how playing them affects the acquisition of a foreign language.

My results show that the students experience that they learn more English by playing computer games than during their English lessons. Many of the students also think that the teachers are not at all fond of computer gaming, but conclude this to be due to the teachers’ lack of experience. The teachers, however, do understand how the students benefit from playing computer games in their spare time, which leads to a predominantly positive attitude towards computer games amongst the teachers in this study.

Abstract:

Denna studie har som syfte att beskriva en lärares tillvägagångssätt för att tydliggöra kunskapskraven i Lgr 11 som är relaterade till skriftlig språkfärdighet i spanska, samt att ta reda på elevernas uppfattningar om detta tillvägagångssätt. I den här studien används uttrycket att tydliggöra i en bred mening, vari ingår både lärarens verbalisering av kunskapskraven och alla aktiviteter som läraren sätter igång och som ska hjälpa eleverna att utveckla en förståelse för dessa. Undersökningen bygger på en fallstudie i vilken olika källor har använts: intervjuer med läraren och fyra elever, enkät, klassrumsobservationer, en matris och ett urval rättade uppgifter. Resultatet visar att läraren och hennes elever verbaliserar sina tolkningar av kunskapskraven på ett likadant sätt. För att tydliggöra kunskapskraven använder läraren flera olika tillvägagångssätt, främst utsagor om kvalitet och exempel på korrekta meningar. Som utsagor om kvalitet använder läraren de formuleringar som finns i kursplanen, samtidigt som hon förklarar med andra ord och tydliggör för eleverna vilka konkreta tecken på kvalitet dessa innebär i en text. Återkopplingen till eleverna är också ett tillfälle för att tydliggöra kunskapskraven. Som metod för att tydliggöra kunskapskraven efterlyser eleverna framförallt konkreta råd om hur en text kan bli bättre, samt att få exempel på bra och mindre bra texter. Både läraren och eleverna är tveksamma till vilken roll tydliggörande av kunskapskraven spelar i undervisningen.
This study aims to describe a teacher’s way to clarify knowledge requirements regarding written expression skills in Spanish. It also aims to find out how students perceive their teacher’s way to clarify those requirements. In this study the expression “to clarify” is used in a broad sense, in which is included not only the teacher’s verbalization of knowledge requirements, but also all the activities that the teacher starts in order to help the pupils understand them. This investigation is based on a case study in which data is gathered from the following sources: in-depth interviews with the teacher and four students, a survey, structured observations and documents (a scoring rubrics and a selection of assessed compositions). The results show that the teacher and her students verbalize their understanding of knowledge requirements in a similar way. The teacher uses different ways to clarify knowledge requirements, mainly through descriptive statements and examples of correct sentences. As descriptive statements she uses the same expressions that are used in the course plan while at the same time explaining them with other words and showing the students which specific characteristics those requirements imply when writing a text. Feedback to the students is also an opportunity to clarify knowledge requirements. As a method to clarify knowledge requirements students would like to get concrete advice about how a text could be better and exemplars of texts of varying quality. Both the teacher and the students have doubts about what role clarifying knowledge requirements may have for instruction.

Abstract:

This paper examines the viability of the Advocacy Coalition Framework(ACF) by applying it in a single case study. The aim is to advance the framework’s theoretical understanding of the policy process and its usefulness for analyzing local policy contexts. The case addressed is a long-spun policy conflict regarding the use of compulsory acquisition of real estate by a Swedish municipality for the sake of local business development. Analyzed data consisted of the municipality diary on the issue, correspondence between actors, public statements, official and internal documents and interviews with actors and non-actors. The ACF is a good starting point for understanding this local policy process, largely because of the great flexibility of its concepts. However, its basic assumptions on beliefs cannot fully explain observed events. Relating to this, the paper has five main findings. First, although beliefs play an important role in forming policy action, so does interests. Second, a conjunction of beliefs and self-interest is an important condition for some actors’ actions. Third, coalition formation is not dependent on similarity of beliefs but on similarity of policy objectives. Fourth, policy objectives are resultant of beliefs for some actors, of self-interest for others and for yet others the result of both. Therefore, actors in coalition act to achieve the same policy objectives but not necessarily for the same reasons. Fifth, one non-actor refrained from policy action in spite of strong policy core beliefs due to the policy process not being a zero sum game for this non-actor. This paper supports recent studies proposing the incorporation of interests into the ACF. For further development of the ACF the paper suggests further research to answer two generic questions: What is the relationship betweeninterests and beliefs? Are potential actors more likely to take policy action inzero sum game policy processes? For the ACF to cope with certain conditionsin local contexts the paper suggest further research into the question: Is the level of abstraction of policy issues key in understanding the involvement of legal and natural persons and their basis for policy action?

Full text

Abstract:

The interpretation of ‘acquisition of property on just terms’ in s 51(xxxi) of the Australian Constitution is contested. This thesis re-evaluates the historical, theoretical and comparative contexts of the placitum, and comprehensively examines the High Court’s s 51(xxxi) jurisprudence since Federation, in order to identify the best interpretation of the placitum – that is, one which is contextually coherent, doctrinally consistent and capable of resolving current interpretive controversies. The genesis of s 51(xxxi) is traced to two traditions: the English constitutional protection of private property expressed in the theory of Locke and Blackstone, as reflected in nineteenth century legislative practice in England and the Australian Colonies; and the European public law theory of eminent domain, as constitutionalised in the United States. Both traditions required full market-value compensation in every individual case when private property was appropriated. This was the understanding of s 51(xxxi) reflected in the Convention Debates and other relevant historical materials, and these contexts were habitually referenced by the Framers of the Australian Constitution. To the extent that the American experience contained a more robust justification for the requirement of compensation, and had been rigorously enforced by the Courts, s 51(xxxi) followed the American model. This is the interpretation of s 51(xxxi) adopted by the High Court for the first forty years: one focussed on the placitum’s purpose of protecting ‘individual rights’, and not on its role in conferring a ‘legislative power’. This changed after World War Two, when Justice (and later Chief Justice) Dixon led the Court away from its earlier jurisprudence and from the contextual understanding of s 51(xxxi), replacing the focus on the individual with a dominant concern to maximise legislative power. The s 51(xxxi) jurisprudence has never fully recovered from this deviation, despite increasing instances of reversion to aspects of the ‘individual rights’ approach over the ensuing years. To the extent that agreed difficulties remain in the Court’s interpretation of s 51(xxxi), this thesis demonstrates that the complete adoption of the ‘individual rights’ approach is the only contextually coherent and doctrinally consistent solution to those difficulties, given the historical, theoretical and comparative contexts of s 51(xxxi) and the development of the High Court’s jurisprudence interpreting the placitum.
