Donovan, Claire Angela. "Government policy and the direction of social science research." Thesis, University of Sussex, 2002. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.392801.
Full textAbstract:
Using the UK Social Science Research Council (SSRC)lEconomic and Social Research Council (ESRC)l as a case study, this thesis tests the hypothesis that government funding of social science research has altered research directions. Academics often assume a causal link between government policy, ESRC-funded research and research directions but no adequate evidence has been presented to support this claim. As a senior ESRC figure puts it, 'Most of the people who say these things, even though they are social scientists, speak without looking at very simple .... evidence that's publicly available.' This research examines this evidence in detail and draws upon extensive interviews with ESRC figures. Various governments have viewed social science as either the equivalent of, or inferior to, natural science. The ESRC has been caught in the middle of this conceptual and ideological battle. An understanding of the history of social science in the UK Research Council system, and of the development of the disciplines of sociology and economics in particular, is crucial in revealing how the Left and Right have confronted the idea of a 'science of society' and the impact, if any, upon social science research via the ESRC. This thesis concludes that there is no evidence that government policy has deliberately been filtered through the ESRC in order to direct the social science research effort. There have, however, been indirect consequences of government funding social SCIence through the Research Council system. An ex-ESRC Secretary explains that governments do not understand what social science is so they support 'social science that makes sense to natural scientists', which is 'social science in the service of natural science and technology'. Through fear of budget cuts the ESRC never sought to correct this image and has more recently strategically promoted this brand of social science to its advantage. This has led to a picture of the ESRC as positivistic and directive but, as an ex-committee secretary says, this is 'more apparent than real'. A closer examination of the ESRC's relationships with government, its research priorities and the secretariat's dealings with academics reveals a very different day-to-day picture.

Full textAbstract:
Analysts from different fields tend to analyze the technological effect in a very deterministic way, especially the effects that computing technologies of «internet era» may have when applied to the management and government activities in the modern times. Although there is surprising progress in transmission, storage and calculation technology, we propose that it is necessary to reflect that after the conjunction of technology, politics and society will appear some governability model different from the current one, though not necessarily better. In that sense, talking about «electronic government» deserves an arduous review of the scientific and professional paradigms that decision-makers, analysts and managers use in such situations. This paper proposes a reflection over the computing technologies, suggesting some method- ological considerations in the field of public policy, particularly at the local level, proposing concepts and the use of new tools from the adaptive social complexity approach.Analistas de diversos campos tienden a analizar el efecto tecnológico de manera determinista, especialmente en los efectos que las tecnologías computacionales de la «era internet» puedan tener al ser aplicadas en las actividades de gestión y gobierno en la época actual. Aun cuando son sorprendentes los avances en la tecnología de transmisión, almacenamiento y cálculo, proponemos que es necesario reflexionar que de la conjunción de tecnología, política y sociedad aparecerá algún modelo de gobernabilidad diferente al actual, aunque no necesariamente mejor. En ese sentido el hablar de «gobierno electrónico» amerita una ardua revisión de los paradigmas científicos y profesionales que decisores, analistas y gestores usan en situaciones de este tipo. Este trabajo plantea una reflexión sobre las tecnologías computacionales, proponiendo algunas consideraciones metodológicas en el campo de las políticas públicas, en particular a nivel local, proponiendo conceptos y el uso de nuevas herramientas desde el enfoque de la complejidadsocial adaptativa.

Full textAbstract:
The study sought to hear the voice of the Head of Department (HOD) in independent, non-government
secondary schools in the ACT Region on their changing leadership role and their recommendations for targeted professional development.
Heads of Academic Departments (HODs) face significant challenges by being in the middle of the organisational structure of a secondary school. They are required to be competent change agents for whole-of-school "macro" initiatives on one hand, yet on the other hand foster "micro" initiatives that support effective learning and teaching in individual classrooms. HODs deal on a daily basis with a broad range of important school issues that include influencing people; management; departmental structures; administration; leadership; student success and progress; educational theory and practice; department and school culture; communication; parents; external educational bodies; professional development; up-to-date pedagogy; and their own teaching and learning. There is frequently a lack of clarity of expectations about their role in a rapidly and ever-changing school system. The incumbents have rarely received targetted professional development for this crucial middle-ranking leadership position.
The study describes and analyses the findings of detailed research with 24 Heads of Department and six Professional Development Coordinators at six independent, non-government
secondary schools. The prime focus was on the changing leadership expectations of Heads of Department and, as a result, the professional development required to support the emerging requirements and expectations of and the directions for the role. The study followed an earlier Dinham et al. (2000) research project, of which I was one of the researchers, into the roles of Heads of Department in independent, non-government secondary schools. The study used analysis of existing job descriptions of Heads of Department, structured interview questionnaires that required quantitative categorisation and analysis, and open-ended interview questions requiring qualitative analysis. The respondents were all leaders of a major academic department within an independent, non-government secondary school.
The five major themes that developed were the forces acting upon and tensions experienced by the Head of Department whilst maintaining credibility as an excellent teacher; the relatively newly developed Professional Development Coordinator role; the definition of the
leadership approach, resultant implications and, as a result, the alternative structures that secondary schools are examining for academic leadership; communication between the middle ranking subject leaders and their senior executive; and the targetted professional development required for the changing role of a HOD.
In independent, non-government secondary schools, the department structures and leadership quality can be powerful forces to assist or resist any reform agenda. Effective leadership of these academic departments becomes important to secure a constant quest to improve the quality of learning and teaching; to improve student outcomes; to nurture staff for more senior leadership positions and to transfer the benefits of a distributive leadership to more staff.

Full textAbstract:
Municipalities and government agencies are producers of information that may be of interest to the public concerning areas such as population statistics, weather data and policy decisions. In the Digital Agenda, the Swedish Government emphasizes the importance for data to be spread and promotes the development and innovation of new e-services created by other parties than government agencies. Various development initiatives of platforms have been taken around the world but there are no specific standards regarding how data should be made public. Softronic currently offer their customers a proprietary platform for the publication of open data. In order to improve or alternatively replace this, Softronic wanted an evaluation of a number of already existing platforms. This report contains an evaluation of the Softronic platform along with three other candidates: CKAN, Socrata and OpenDataSoft. The included aspects in the evaluation were selected based on requests from Softronic, covering among other things the installation process, performance and upgrades. To assess the API function of the platforms and demonstrate how an application using open data can be implemented, a graphical client was developed. Socrata received the highest score in the evaluation, followed by in turn OpenDataSoft, CKAN and Softronic. Socrata is recommended as a platform for publishing open government data mainly because it offered extensive functionality, required few technical skills and provided plenty of support services.Kommuner och myndigheter är producenter av information som kan vara av intresse för allmänheten gällande exempelvis befolkningsstatistik, väderdata och politiska beslut. I den digitala agendan verkar Sveriges regering för att data ska spridas och främja utveckling och innovation av nya e-tjänster skapade av andra aktörer än myndigheter. Diverse utvecklingsinitiativ har tagits kring plattformar runtom i världen men det finns inga tydliga standarder kring hur data ska göras publikt. Softronic erbjuder idag sina kunder en egenutvecklad plattform för publiceringen av öppna data. För att kunna förbättra eller alternativt ersätta denna, ville Softronic ha en utvärdering av ett antal redan existerande plattformar. Denna rapport innehåller en utvärdering av Softronics plattform tillsammans med tre andra kandidater: CKAN, Socrata och OpenDataSoft. De aspekter som utvärderingen innefattar valdes utifrån önskemål från Softronic och täcker bland annat installationsförfarande, prestanda och uppgraderingar. För att undersöka API-funktionen hos plattformarna och demonstrera hur en applikation som använder sig av öppna data kan implementeras, utvecklades även en grafisk klient. Socrata fick högst poäng i utvärderingen, följt av i tur och ordning OpenDataSoft, CKAN och Softronic. Socrata rekommenderas som en plattform för publicering av öppna myndighetsdata främst eftersom den erbjöd omfattande funktionalitet, krävde få tekniska färdigheter och tillhandahöll många supporttjänster.

Full textAbstract:
The open data concept is based on the EU directive from 2003 with the goal to highlight the need for member states to increase and digitalize their public data and thus achieving transparency and stimulating economic growth based on new innovations. In Sweden, the development has fallen behind expectations and are currently the worst performing nordic country in open data development. In relation, research on open data is limited, especially when it come to barriers and challenges for adopting strategies to handle open data for local public organizations. This research is therefore aimed towards understanding and identifying barriers for adopting open data in local public organizations in Sweden. To answer this, we have conducted a case study based on the municipality of Örnsköldsviks. Our findings suggest that existing research on open data is somewhat lacking in the areas of ethical issues, the private sector and the challenge of moving towards openness; these are important aspects to consider when it comes to open data development. Furthermore, our results indicate that collaboration on both national and regional levels is advantageous and combined with PSI Directive improvements, is something that can bridge the gap between open data barriers and ambitions.

Full textAbstract:
The goal of this project was to develop a mobile application for the iOS platform, that would support the partner of this project, the Brisbane City Council, in stronger engage citizens in participating in urban planning and development projects. The resulting application is an extended version of FixVegas, a system that allows citizens to report maintenance request to the Brisbane City Council through their smartphone. The new version of the system makes all incoming requests publicly available within the application, allows users to support, comment or disapprove of these. As an addition, the concept of the idea has been introduced. Citizens can submit suggestions for improving the city to the municipality, discuss them with other fellow citizens and, ideally, also with Council representatives. The city officials as well are provided with the ability of publishing development project as an idea and let citizens deliberate it. This way, bidirectional communication between these two parties is created. A web interface complements the iPhone application. The system has been developed after the principle of User Centered Design, by assessing user needs, creating and evaluating prototypes and conducting a user study. The study showed that FixVegas2 has been perceived as an enhancement compared to the previous version, and that the idea concept has been received on a positive note. Indepth questions, such as the influence the system could have on community dynamics or the public participation in urban planning projects could only hardly investigated. However, these findings can be achieved by the alternative study designs that have been proposed.

Full textAbstract:
The dissertation deals with the conflict over the EU Services Directive which is also known as the Bolkestein Directive. The general liberalisation and deregulation of the services markets in the EU has known the greatest politicisation of an EU issue ever seen in the history of European politics. It mobilised a wide range of political actors, including unions, diverse associations and citizen groups in several member states of the EU as well as in Brussels. The Commissioner for the internal market Frits Bolkestein and the directive proposal adopted in January 2004 have come to epitomize the neoliberal face of European integration. Due to its connection with the Eastern enlargement in May 2004 and with the ratification of the European constitutional treaty in France and The Netherlands in 2005, the directive proposal on services liberalization triggered a general debate over the economic and social nature of the EU polity far beyond a mere matter of public policy. After three years of debate and mobilization, the directive proposal was substantially amended in the European Parliament and clear limitations were put to liberalization of the services of general interest and to market deregulation.\

Full textAbstract:
As the UK energy sector moves to a greater contribution from low-carbon and renewable sources it faces significant challenges in delivering affordability, security of supply and sustainability. Although hydropower in Scotland emerged on a large scale in the mid-20th century against an influential, changing wider context of energy policy, environmental regulation and debate, it is now subject to an evolving renewables agenda. This further shapes the national and scheme level characteristics of hydropower and in turn outcomes for the water environment. Contingent upon these considerations, hydropower regulation must now deliver on EU obligations to protect and improve the ecological status of water bodies, whilst also supporting domestic efforts to meet high profile binding renewable energy targets. Yet, despite an acknowledged potential for energy policy to constrain the delivery of water policy objectives, there is little policy harmonisation between disciplines. As Scotland orientates itself as a leader in Europe on climate change, transitioning to increasing amounts of renewable generation across a handful of technologies, there is a gap in knowledge about how specific renewable policies and trends can influence hydropower sustainability outcomes and regulatory challenges. This thesis therefore contributes an innovative and timely critical examination of the effect a changing wider renewable energy and policy context has on hydropower sustainability in Scotland, at a scheme and national level. This research uses an interdisciplinary, temporal analysis to identify linkages and create dialogue between disciplines and scales, informing the pursuit of sustainable renewable energy through policy and regulation in a changing world. It finds firstly, that the changing national generation mix towards an increased contribution from renewable sources, including potentially intermittent technologies such as wind power, has contributed to an alteration in the operational characteristics and reservoir variability profile of Cruachan pumped-storage scheme, presenting positive outcomes for reservoir littoral habitats. Secondly, it finds that whilst not operating in isolation, renewable energy incentive policies, through their eligibility criteria, financial reward frameworks and timing, influence hydropower characteristics and sustainability challenges, providing trade-offs but also synergies for hydropower regulation. Finally, it finds that there is a degree of divergence in hydropower outcomes and challenges in Scotland and Norway, due to the characteristics and especially interaction of wider contextual elements such as topography, profile of precipitation input, national energy needs and the role of regional and municipal government. By highlighting these linkages, this thesis is of value to energy policy and environmental regulation in Scotland and across the EU, and is seen as a first step in addressing these uncertainties and supporting a more integrated and sustainable hydropower and renewables governance framework.

NGOs gelten als wichtige Akteure, um die Belange der Zivilgesellschaft auch auf internationaler Ebene zu repräsentieren. Die UNESCO hat ihr Potenzial bereits frühzeitig erkannt und bietet ihren Partner-NGOs verschiedene Wege der Einflussnahme. Mit der neuen NGO-Richtlinie von 2011 haben neben internationalen NGOs auch lokale und regionale nichtstaatliche Organisationen die Möglichkeit, einen Konsultativ- oder Assoziativstatus mit der UNESCO einzugehen und dementsprechend ihre Interessen in den verschiedensten Organen der UNESCO einzubringen. Jedoch wird die Zusammenarbeit im Rahmen der UNESCO durch bestimmte Faktoren, wie der Finanzlage der UNESCO, eingeschränkt. Insbesondere im Arbeitsalltag der UNESCO zeigt sich, dass NGOs ihre zugesprochenen Einflussmöglichkeiten aufgrund der starken Rolle der Mitgliedstaaten nicht immer einlösen können. Die Bildungsinitiative Education for All verdeutlicht die herausragende Arbeit von NGOs, um internationale Zielvorgaben zu erreichen, sowie die unterstützende Rolle der UNESCO. Allerdings begründet sich der starke Einfluss der NGOs vor allem auf deren Eigeninitiative. Aufgrund ihrer begrenzten Ressourcen ist die UNESCO abhängig von ihren nichtstaatlichen Partnern. Nur wenn die UNESCO weiterhin auf eine verstärkte NGO-Partnerschaft setzt, können UNESCO-Programme auch langfristig erfolgreich umgesetzt werden. Die Avantgarde-Stellung der UNESCO bezüglich der NGO-Zusammenarbeit ist kein Selbstzweck, sondern sichert die Zukunft der UNESCO.

This Master Thesis is the research done in the country of Rwanda. The project leads to study the climate of this country in order to establish whether this climate could be used to produce energy from air and to implement the first wind turbine for serving the nation. After an introduction about the historical background of wind power, the thesis work deals with assessment of wind energy potential of Rwanda in focusing of the most suitable place for wind power plants. The best location with annual mean wind speed, the rate of use of turbine with hub height for an annual production per year, the mean wind speeds for 6 sites of Rwanda based on ECMWF for climatic data for one year at relief of altitude of 100m and coordinates are reported too. The result of energy produced and calculations were done based on power hitting wind turbine generator in order to calculate Kinetic energy and power available at the best location to the measurement over the period of 12 months, that could be hoped for long term. With help of logarithmic law, where wind speed usually increases with increasing in elevation and the desired wind speeds at all 6 sites were used. The annual energy production was taken into account at the best site with desired wind speed at the initial cost of turbine as well as the cost of energy (COE).However, with comparison of the tariff of EWSA, the price of Wind designed in this Research per kWh is cheaper and suitable for people of Rwanda.I WISH TO PUBLISH MY THESIS

Abstract The structure of eight ministries & two commissions in the Executive Yuan of the Republic of China was established in 1949, and it has never been rectified since then but, contrarily, a good number of expedient institutes have been built in it. Such laxity of bureaucracy has led to misunderstanding of their titles, overlapping of their tasks, and creating passive response to the change of socioeconomic status. Consequently, our government has undertaken the organizational restructuring program. “Central Government Organization Basic Law” was undertaken on June 23, 2004 of which total number of ministries and commisions of the Executive Yuan was confined to 13 and 4 respectively. The rectification of “Executive Yuan Oraganization Law” was proposed in the meeting of the Executive Yuan on September 15, 2004 of which the present 36 ministries and commissions would be reduced to 13 minstries and 4 commissions. According to the proposal, the veterans affairs commission and the ministry of defense will be combined as the ministry of defense and veterans, which is rather against the hope of the veterans affairs commission to become the ministry of veterans affairs. Both the ministry of defense and the opposition parties disapproved that proposal. Our aim here is to study the direction and positioning of veterans’ medical and health-care system under the government restructuring process. After review of the literature, most of the governments in the world were devoted to the reconstruction of their countries with expansion of the organinzation and functions of the governments after second wolrd war. Efficiency of the governments, however, declined as the government expanded. Therefore, “Reinventing Government” is being undertaken throughout the world. Taiwan, as a member of the global village, is going to reform its government organization to elevate its competence under the introduction of enteriprising management. The topic of this research is a complex reform of the government and the subject is the huge veterans’ medical and health-care system. Due to lack of theoretic base and difficulty in defining the variables, this study adopts qualitative methods along with literature survey and in-depth interviewing. By evidence-based research from in-depth interviewing, it shows the combining of the ministry of defense and veterans affairs commision may cause problems, such as difficulty in bringing cooperation between the two systems, disharmony of the staff, and distribution of the budget. The four principles of government reform are correct, yet closure of the public hospitals is inappropriate and will make the government employees feel confused due to uncertainty of direction and details of reorganization. Upgrading of veterans affairs commission to the ministry of veterans affairs is appropriate as the staff feel safe and stable and the management of the organization is convenient. At the same time, this reform demonstrates that the government pays attention and respect to the veterans. Deregulation, decentralization, and outsourcing are not suitable for the veterans affairs system and public hospitals, yet corporatization by districts may be considered. Integration of veterans general hospitals, regional veterans hospitals and the veterans hospices will be helpful to the veterans and serve the community as well. Government restructuring is a huge engineering, therefore, the administration of the affairs of personnel, accounting, audit, and control should be taken into considerations and well planned; and the possible worst situation sould be singled out and prevented.

Along with the advocacy begun from primary Meiji time of going aboard with great ambition considered to be solution of population boom and farm village poverty in Japan native land, colonization, precisely, cultivating for Japanese immigrants in Taiwan had weighed during Japan governance so that Taiwan Governor’s Office (Taiwan Sotokufu) had maintained constituting colonial and ruling policies to achieve it. Such a colonial processing represents parts of Taiwan economic transformation conditioned by original nature and previous society. Taiwan Sotokufu in resonance with trendy economy and polity of native nation determined policies, on the other hand, different subtypes of colonial cultivation emerged from practical competition and corporation between capital structuring and labor serving. As a purpose to study the complicated phenomena overall, it is necessary to comb out the transiting access and order of information, intelligence, capital and techniques (labor service) between the official/civilian and the polity/economy. Land investing of colonial companies in 1900~1927 bricked with those elements above described is targeted and we could profile the colonial experience by observing the interaction of practical land funding and official policy planning Land reclamation considered as achievement of Taiwan Sotokufu governance developed by progressive phases with trends of polity and economy of Taiwan island inside and outside, planned land allocation had not necessarily corresponded to navigation of practical labor and capital, for that, it is needed to discourse the divergence by two time buoys, 1900 and 1927, which stratify developing phases of land reclamation in primary period of Taiwan Sotokufu governance. At 1900, the first sugar manufacturing company was established that means capitalists turned their attention to colony market and capital was eventually accommodated to policies, Taiwan Sotokufu related to capitalists from native nation in ambivalent way, they were competitive and cooperative. It implies that the economy of Taiwan as a colony became a part of Japan capitalistic reproduction. Situation changed to be different at 1927, lots of local and industrial banks bankrupted at Japan economic crisis time, consequently, lots of Taiwan colonial companies funded by native land banks were influenced. It constructs stratification and its meanings of primary Taiwan reclamation history by context of the two specific times. In the process of stratifying, Taiwan Sotokufu with the right to entitle government land to be private intervened land merchandise market, by that, it attempted to reform Taiwan society and economy under the spatiotemporal changing.

Killey, Ian David. "Police and the Executive." Thesis, 2017. https://vuir.vu.edu.au/37859/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the legal relationship between police and government in Australia to
ascertain the extent to which the statutory forms and the understanding of those forms allow
Australian police forces to be subject to direct or indirect government direction. The thesis
also proposes areas of law reform to establish a constitutionally and legally coherent
relationship.
The methodology for the thesis is doctrinal and documentary. It involves examination of the
statutory, parliamentary, judicial and historical record in Australia and comparable
jurisdictions (predominantly United Kingdom and Canada) to ascertain the elements of the
different models, the reason for their enactment and how they have been applied and
understood.
The thesis finds that there are three different statutory approaches used in Australia: the No,
Broad and Limited Direction Models. However, the understanding of those models and the
development of the Limited Direction Model, has been confused by a supposed doctrine of
police independence developed during the 20th century based on flawed legal and historical
considerations. Those flawed considerations include:
• Selective use of the historical record;
• Ignoring expressions of parliamentary intention when interpreting legislation;
• Misapplication of judicial authorities;
• Inflating the significance of the office of constable;
• Misunderstanding and misapplying the doctrine of separation of powers;
• Applying a flawed ‘mythology’ regarding Sir Robert Peel and his intentions; and
• Minimising the constitutional significance of the doctrine of ministerial responsibility.
This flawed view, combined with an erroneous understanding constitutional conventions,
have led to a widely held but confused understanding of the police government relationship
in Australia that police are, or should be independent of government in relation to
‘operational’ matters, but with no settled view as to the meaning of that term. This is further
confused by another widely held view that policy decisions are the preserve of government,
even though policy and operations are related and not contradictory concepts.
The thesis has also identified a further area of confusion in the relationship, being significant
legislative reductions to the security of tenure of Police Commissioners. All State police
Commissioners are now employed for 5 year terms and most have little or no protection from arbitrary termination of appointment. This provide a means for indirect influence in a non
transparent manner over Police Commissioners.
Given this confused relationship the thesis proposes elements as a basis for the
development of a coherent constitutional relationship. Those elements are:
• Basing the relationship on the doctrine of ministerial responsibility with government
empowered to direct police on all or the majority of policing matters. The only
exclusions would be matters which can be demonstrated as inappropriate for
government to direct. This element is consistent with government’s responsibility for
policing and recognises that the effectiveness of police, as with other statutory
bodies, can require certain well defined areas of independence.
• Requiring the government direction power to be exercised transparently; which will
ensure that governments are subject to scrutiny for exercises of that power.
• Increasing the security of tenure for Police Commissioners, so as to reduce indirect
government influence over police.

Research Of Law Respondsibility Of General Director Of Local Government Abstract Public trust is the most precious asset for a government. In the process of making and implementing policy, the government also conducts authoritative allocation of social values. During the past half century, Taiwan has become a breeding ground for corrupted office-holders. Those who were elected to office, especially those with a gangster background, abused power sanctioned by law and violated the expectation and trust of the people. They formed nested interests with some businesses by taking advantage of the loopholes in political, economic, and legal systems - and siphoned off enormous profits from society. On the other hand, erroneous policy has even worse consequences than corruption. Illegal measures or misadministration not only misplace the state’s financial resources but also undermine its authority. For one, misappropriation often causes unrecoverable damages. This thesis aims to discuss the legal responsibility of local magistrates who commit delinquency in the context of civil servant’s responsibility in terms of administrative, criminal, financial aspects. This study also conducts an empirical study to explore ways to hold magistrates responsible for their delinquency. This study is divided into five sections. The introduction includes the purpose, research method, literature review, ranges and structure of the thesis. Chapter two discusses issues regarding the responsibility of local magistrates, the records of reprimand over the years, Chapter three discusses about the responsibility for criminal offenses(with a focus on corruption and embezzlement). Chapter four discusses the ways in which magistrates can be held personal financially responsible in accordance with laws prescribing the responsibility of civil servants, apart from the State Compensation Law and regulations concerning auditing. In addition, is an introduction of how other countries deal with this problem. Chapter five summarizes the research in order to offer materialized proposition and suggestions of amendments to the existing law.

2017The City of Johannesburg has produced five iterations of its City Development Strategy over the last 17 years with the latest CDS Joburg 2040, launched in 2011. This dissertation argues that the City of Joburg’s leading role in negotiating for developmental local government paved the way for long term planning at the local government sphere. CDSs prior to Joburg 2040 were developed as technical documents prioritising the needs of the municipal institution over citizens. Formulating Joburg 2040 epitomised a combination of economic and political conflicts taking place in the city. Joburg 2040 attempted to break the path dependence of urban growth and development by re-envisioning the imperative of urban transformation. Thus, Joburg 2040 attempted to emphasise a political imperative of an incoming leadership that was willing to listen and engage with citizens by coproducing a long term vision for the City. As participation has being ineffective in facilitating active involvement of the citizenry, participatory processes have served the needs of the municipality rather than citizens. Joburg 2040 was a politically championed process of developing a CDS that attempted to change that status quo.

This study aims to explore the relationship between government ownership, juridical director shareholding ratio and tax avoidance in banking industry. The research data were acquired from Central Bank of the Republic of China. As of end of December 2015, there are 39 domestic banks. The research period was from 2012 to 2015 and there are total 136 samples after screening. The financial development and economic growth in Taiwan is two-way feedback effect. For those banks with higher ratio of government ownership and juridical director shareholding, they should comply with the government policies, and would have to give up some business opportunities with higher yields. Thus, this study investigates whether banks will conduct tax avoidance activity so as to keep good performance. The empirical results of this study are as followings: 1. When banks with higher ratio of juridical director shareholding, the effective tax rate is lower, i.e. both relationship showed a significant negative impact. In other words, banks with higher ratio of juridical director shareholding may increase the possibility of conducting tax avoidance activity. 2. The relationship between the government ownership and effective tax rate is positive impact, but not reach to significant level.

Environmental protection and energy conservation have become a main focus recently with green initiatives becoming another trade barrier for developed countries. The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) valid since August 2005 and the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) coming July of 2006 will have great and lasting impact on Taiwan’s electronics industry. Products will be rejected from entering the European Union if they cannot meet the strict RoHS requirements or are not registered in local recycling organizations. In 2005, the export of electronic products from Taiwan to the European Union was close to NT$202.5 billion, making it worthwhile to comply with any environmental protection regulations. Both own brand and OEM/ODM companies need to be able to provide green products that meet any new European Union rules or directives. Green standards should start from the design stage - from material selection, structural design, manufacturing, package, transportation to user, to final disposal. Every process needs to be considered using Life Cycle Thinking to achieve true environmental protection. In addition, the government has to allocate resources to build industry standards and integrate industries, academia, certification organizations, and the gathering of directives in order to simultaneously save on cost and enhance the efficiency to be more competitive. This study was based on information gathered from interviews with product manufacturers and treatment companies to understand green products, as well as the operation and management of a green supply chain and existing regulations and recycling operations in Taiwan. Through the analysis and discussion in this study, we hope to help companies and suppliers involved in the following respects: 1.To understand the background, contents, and trend of WEEE/RoHS in the European Union. 2.To evaluate countermeasures by related industrial companies and the government. 3.To give advise for both the industry and the government in environment protection issues.

This study has been conducted through questionnaires to discuss the job stress causes and coping strategies for the directing staffs at the research and evaluation position in county and city governments. With the Delphi Technique, this research expects to reveal the hidden mood of the target group. The results show that the major pressure causes of the target groups come from professional workload stress, professional knowledge stress, organization culture and environment stress, self-development stress, and communication and coordination stress, in total of five dimensions with 17 elements. For coping with these stress causes, this research finds that the solution can be constructed as rational analysis, problem solution, support seeking, emotion adjustment, and postpone handling, in five major dimensions with 25 different coping measures.

Full textAbstract:
The theme of the completed diploma thesis is A Marketing Strategy for Protected Work Places of NGOs in South Bohemia. In the theoretical part I focus on the definition and meaning of marketing, stategic management, the marketing process, the marketing environment, the buying behavior of consumers, marketing research. In the next section I describe the legislative basis for protected work places and I name protected work places of NGOs in South Bohemia. Then I describe the employment of people with disabilities, and I attempt to define the concept of a non-profit organization. For completion purposes, I briefly define the term South Bohemia. In the practical part I deal with the results of the research and draft a proposal for marketing strategies for the sale of products from protected work places. The practical part relates to the main goals of the diploma thesis. The first goal of the work was to map out a marketing strategy for protected work places of NGOs in South Bohemia. The second goal was to map out the opinions of the wider public in relation to the purchase of products from protected work places. The first stated hypothesis was: Protected work places of NGOs in South Bohemia do not optimally use the tools of the marketing mix to sell their products. The second stated hypothesis was: A marketing strategy has an effect on the sale of products in protected work places of NGOs in South Bohemia. I chose quantitative research with subsequent statistical data processing. The data was collected through standardized interview techniques and surveys. In both cases, the improbability of sampling techniques was used. The basic collection in terms of quantitative research was the management of protected work places of NGOs in South Bohemia and the wider public. Through standardized telephone interviews, the chosen collection of required data for the research was acquired. Due to the chosen technology. The survey, which in its form came close to being a questionnaire, was used in this thesis as an additional source of information, and was also used to acquire the primary data from the chosen sample. The sample was chosen at random. There were 94 total respondents. Through the research results which are related to the first goal, we can say that the explanatory function of the first hypothesis was not confirmed. In fact, protected work places of NGOs in South Bohemia use optimal tools of the marketing mix for the sale of their products. From the research results which are related to the second goal, we can say that the explanatory function of the second hypothesis was confirmed. With certainty we can say that a marketing strategy has an effect on the sale of products of protected work places of NGOs in South Bohemia.From the research results of controlled interviews with management of protected work places, it is evident that in addition to the long-term interests of the organization, protected work places are beginning to be interested in the desires and needs of their customers. They prefer segmented marketing, they monitor their competitors and concern themselves with competitive advantage. On the other hand, they do not engage in comprehensive marketing research and they do not create strategic marketing plans. In terms of the marketing mix, it was discovered that the quality of the products is important to those surveyed. In the communication mix, organizations mainly work with tools which can be used with lower costs.The research results of the wider public showed that the majority of respondents are aware of protected work places, but they consider their products to be unavailable. The main reason for the purchase of products from protected work places is to provide financial assistance. While respondents expect quality and attractively designed products for which they are willing to pay a higher price, the decisive incentive for the purchase may be lower-price products.

Eric, MANIRAGUHA. "UTILIZATION OF WIND POWER IN RWANDA : Design and Production Option." Thesis, 2013. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:kth:diva-149574.
Full textAbstract:
This Master Thesis is the research done in the country of Rwanda. The project leads to study the climate of this country in order to establish whether this climate could be used to produce energy from air and to implement the first wind turbine for serving the nation. After an introduction about the historical background of wind power, the thesis work deals with assessment of wind energy potential of Rwanda in focusing of the most suitable place for wind power plants. The best location with annual mean wind speed, the rate of use of turbine with hub height for an annual production per year, the mean wind speeds for 6 sites of Rwanda based on ECMWF for climatic data for one year at relief of altitude of 100m and coordinates are reported too. The result of energy produced and calculations were done based on power hitting wind turbine generator in order to calculate Kinetic energy and power available at the best location to the measurement over the period of 12 months, that could be hoped for long term. With help of logarithmic law, where wind speed usually increases with increasing in elevation and the desired wind speeds at all 6 sites were used. The annual energy production was taken into account at the best site with desired wind speed at the initial cost of turbine as well as the cost of energy (COE).However, with comparison of the tariff of EWSA, the price of Wind designed in this Research per kWh is cheaper and suitable for people of Rwanda.Rwanda has considerable opportunities development energy from hydro sources, methane gas, solar and peat deposits. Most of these energy sources have not been fully exploited, such as solar, wind and geothermal. As such wood is still being the major source of energy for 94 per cent of the population and imported petroleum products consume more than 40 per cent of foreign exchange. Energy is a key component of the Rwandan economy. It is thus recognized that the current inadequate and expensive energy supply constitutes a limiting factor to sustainable development. Rwanda’s Vision 2020 emphasizes the need for economic growth, private investment and economic transformation supported by a reliable and affordable energy supply as a key factor for the development process. To achieve this transformation, the country will need to increase energy production and diversify into alternative energy sources. Rwandan nations don’t have small-scale solar, wind, and geothermal devices in operation providing energy to urban and rural areas. These types of energy production are especially useful in remote locations because of the excessive cost of transporting electricity from large-scale power plants. The application of renewable energy technology has the potential to alleviate many of the problems that face the people of Rwanda every day, especially if done so in a sustainable manner that prioritizes human rights.
