Full textAbstract:
Desde el año 2006, se ha dividido el voto indígena entre el movimiento político étnico Pachakutik y el movimiento Alianza País (AP), liderado por Rafael Correa, actual presidente del Ecuador. Este artículo busca una explicación esta división del voto, examinando el comportamiento político de los comuneros de Otavalo y Cotacachi, municipios de la sierra norte de Ecuador, bastiones del movimiento indígena. El escrito sostiene que el respaldo a Correa puede explicarse por tres factores: primero, la antigua relación de los indígenas con el Estado; segundo, un comportamiento electoral que combina confianza en líderes étnicos y pragmatismo político, y tercero, la expectativa de mayor presencia del Estado. Para realizar este estudio se empleó observación participante en los dos cantones para captar las prácticas de la población en el proceso político, encuestas para captar sus percepciones y datos electorales oficiales para ver los resultados.Since 2006 the indigenous political vote has split between Pachakutik and Alianza País (AP). The latter is a political movement led by Rafael Correa, currently president of Ecuador. The article seeks an explanation for this distribution of the vote, examining the political behavior of the indigenous people of the Otavalo and Cotacachico unties of the northern Ecuadorean highlands. It argues that the support for Correa can be explained by several factors: (1) the historical relationship between indigenous people and the State; (2) an electoral behaviour that combines trust in ethnic leaders and pragmatism; and (3) an expectation of «more state presence». The study is based on two surveys of leaders and local population, participant observation and interviews, as well as a document review.

The purpose of this paper is to explore the impact of international investment law rules in the Economic Constitutional Law, especially those included in investment chapters of Peruvian’s Free Trade Treaties. In particular, it is expected to demonstrate the following (i) International Investment Law is part of Peruvian Legal System; (ii) provisions of these laws are mandatory and should be applied domestically; and (iii) interpretation and implementation of this legal right should be executed consistently with domestic legal system and Peruvian international obligations. This agreed Interpretation between Investment Law and Economic Constitution will have a positive effect in rationalization of public entities actions avoiding abuses and maltreatment to investors, in order to improve investment climate as a key element forachieving country’s sustainable development.Este trabajo tiene como objeto explorar el impacto que tienen las normas del derecho internacional de las inversiones, en específico aquellas de los capítulos de inversiones de los Tratados de Libre Comercio celebrados por el Perú, en el derecho constitucional económico. En concreto, se pretende demostrar lo siguiente: (i) el derecho internacional de las inversiones es parte del Ordenamiento Jurídico del Perú; (ii) las disposiciones de este derecho son obligatorias y deben aplicarse a nivel interno, y (iii) este derecho debe interpretarse e implementarse de manera coherente con el resto del ordenamiento interno y con las obligaciones internacionales del Perú. Esta interpretación concordada del derecho de inversiones y la Constitución económica tendrá un impacto positivo en la racionalización de la actuaciónde los órganos estatales, evitando arbitrariedades cuando sus medidas puedan afectar a un inversionista. De esta manera mejorará el clima de inversiones, el cual es un elemento necesario para lograr el desarrollo sostenible del país.

Tsai, Rebecca Jen-Chieh. "Lymphedema in female breast cancer cases diagnosed in Iowa." Diss., University of Iowa, 2010. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/897.
Full textAbstract:
Lymphedema of the arm is a complication that occurs in about 10-20% of women treated for breast cancer. Breast cancer treatment can damage or disrupt normal lymphatic pathways, causing fluid to accumulate in the arm. This condition is called lymphedema. Swelling of the arm can be painful and disfiguring, negatively impacting the quality of life of afflicted individuals. Lymphedema is a progressive disorder that requires prompt diagnosis and treatment to prevent the occurrence of more serious complications, such as infection or severe disability of the arm. Past research have attempted to identify risk factors that influenced the development of lymphedema, however conflicting results were observed between studies.
Therefore, a comprehensive literature review was conducted to identify studies that examined the effect of prognostic and/or personal factors on lymphedema. In the meta-analyses, results from each independent study were abstracted and pooled with other studies using the random-effects model. In an effort to examine additional factors that were not widely studied, a retrospective cohort study was conducted on women diagnosed with breast cancer in Iowa during 2004.
A questionnaire was developed to collect information on arm activities, co-morbidity, and lymphedema-related symptoms. Eligible women were identified from the State Health Registry of Iowa and data were collected through computer-assisted telephone interviews. At the end of the interview, each woman was asked to measure the circumference of her right and left arm one hand width above and below the elbow crease.
The meta-analysis found that mastectomy (as opposed to a lumpectomy), axillary dissection (as opposed to sentinel node biopsy), radiation therapy, presence of positive nodes, obesity (body mass index >30), low education (less than high school), presence of any co-morbidity, injury and infection increased the risk of developing lymphedema. The cohort study found that the presence of axillary dissection and radiation, cancer stage, positive nodes, large tumor size, high body mass index, and younger women increased the risk of lymphedema.

Hassan, Abul. "Evaluating the performance of managed funds : the cases of equity, ethical funds and Islamic index." Thesis, Durham University, 2005. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/2731/.
Full textAbstract:
Managed funds have become a popular investment tool and possess a lot of advantages. However, in spite of their popularity, most past research findings on the evaluation of performance have suggested that managed funds were unable to do significantly better than a large unmanaged portfolio. The aim of this thesis is to evaluate empirically the performance of managed funds. The funds chosen are; UK equity, ethical unit trusts and US-based Dow Jones Islamic index -an index of Islamic ethical funds portfolio. We examine the performance of UK equity unit trusts which invest in UK equities, using monthly samples over the 1986 to 2001 time period. The study compares the return of these unit trusts with a three-factor model which takes into account their exposure to market, value and size risk. After controlling the risk factors, it is found that manager’s under-perfom the market. Contrary to the notion that small company shares offer abundant "beat the market" opportunities, we find that small company trusts are the worst performers. The performance persistence of unit trusts is also examined and it is found that good performance does not persist. There are investors who out of their concern regarding adverse changes in our environment, concerns for justice, and because of their opposition to the arms race, decline to purchase the securities of such enterprises that engage in what are termed unethical or socially irresponsible activities. Such activities usually include, but are not necessarily limited to, the production of armaments, alcohol and tobacco; engaging in activities that degrade the environment; and engaging in activities that treat people unfairly. Declining to invest in the securities of enterprises that engage in unethical practices is not only a form of social protest, but can also have the effect of diminishing the demand for a company's securities. A diminishment of demand may then have an adverse financial impact on a company. This may prove to be a crucial factor in influencing companies to change and become more socially responsible. The question therefore arises: has the investment performance o f ethical investors suffered in comparison to those who are not so responsible? To answer the above, a study has been done which encompasses 35 U K ethical unit trusts which cover the period of seven years tough 1996. The study presents a comprehensive evaluation o f managed funds performance by employing various single to multifactor benchmark models.The added value of introducing extra variables such as size, book to market, momentum and a bond index is explored by evaluating the performance using conditional information and comparing the investment performance of U K ethical unit trusts with unit trusts which are not ethical. After controlling for style tilts and allowing for time variation in betas and expected return, the results show that there is no significant difference in performance between U K ethical unit trust and their conventional peers. Within an unconditional setting SMB, HML and momentum factors are best able to explain ethical unit trust returns. Therefore, unconditional models perform much better than their conditional peers. Islamic ethical investors apply both Islamic ethical and financial criteria when evaluating investments in order to ensure that the securities selected are consistent with their value system and beliefs. Using monthly returns for the period starting from January 1996 to December 2003， the study is conducted to see the potential impact that Islamic ethical restrictions may have on investment performance by comparing the performance characteristics o f a diversified portfolio of Islamic screened stocks (Dow Jones Islamic index) w i t h conventional benchmark portfolio ( Dow Jones Index- Americas). Contrary to expectations, our findings indicate that application of Islamic ethical screens do not necessarily have an adverse impact on investment performance. Results actually show that expected returns of Islamic screened portfolios are higher than the expected returns o f conventional portfolios.

Full textAbstract:
How did the early colonial regime impact the potter’s craft in the Andes? How can documentary and material evidence of pottery production allow us to better understand that period? This article proposes a methodology to answer both questions. It suggests that it is necessary to use explicit analytic models about potters when dealing with ceramic evidence. In this context, several models about potters are proposed for the early colonial period, and three specific cases showing the diversity of strategies employed by artisans of that period are discussed.¿Cómo el régimen colonial temprano afectó el oficio de alfarero en los Andes? Cómo la evidencia documental y material sobre alfarería nos permite comprender mejor ese periodo? Este artículo propone una metodología para responder ambas interrogantes. Con tal objetivo, se sugiere la necesidad de emplear modelos analíticos explícitos sobre alfareros cuando se estudia evidencia cerámica. En este contexto, se proponen algunos modelos alfareros para el periodo colonial temprano y se discuten tres casos específicos que muestran la diversidad de estrategias empleadas por los alfareros en ese periodo.

Full textAbstract:
Through the cases of ‘La Reserva ComunalAmarakaeri’ and ‘La Cuenca del Río Curaray’ we argue that the success of indigenous collective action in environmental conflicts generated by the superposition of hydrocarbon blocks on titled indigenous lands and protected areas is defined by1) a regional system more open to the indigenous movement that allows alliances within the regional elite, 2) organizational forms providing specific strategies that integrate dialogue practices and a broad network of partners cohesive to targets, 3) the use of an ideological discourse that uses collective rights and demands for inclusion in order to generate union within the collective and the sensibilization of the authorities. On the other hand, failure is caused by 1) the absence of alliances in the regional elite and the presence of repressive authorities, 2) weak complex organizational forms that use ineffective strategies and models of mobilization without dialogue, 3) a discourse that does not integrates the collective rights with demands for equality, creating fragmentation in the organization and a fragile impact on the authorities.A través de los casos ‘La reserva comunal Amarakaeri’ y ‘La cuenca del río Curaray’ se sostiene que el éxito de la acción colectiva indígena en los conflictos socioambientales generados por la superposición de lotes de hidrocarburos en tierras tituladas indígenas y en áreas naturales protegidas se define por: 1) un sistema regional de mayor apertura hacia el movimiento indígena que permite aliados en la élite regional; 2) formas de organización claras que contemplan estrategias específicas integrando prácticas de diálogo y una red amplia de aliados cohesionada hacia el objetivo; 3) el uso de un discurso ideológico que utiliza los derechos colectivos al igual que demandas de inclusión, lo que genera unión en el colectivo y sensibilización en las autoridades. Mientras que el fracaso se produce por: 1) la ausencia de aliados en la elite regional y la presencia de autoridades represivas; 2) complejas y débiles formas organizativas que utilizan inefectivas estrategias y modelos de movilización sin diálogo;3) un discurso que no integra los derechos colectivos con demandas de igualdad, lo cual genera fragmentación en la organización y un frágilimpacto en las autoridades.

Full textAbstract:
Since its appearance in Europe, the trial by jury had to travel a long path until it became the official procedure to try criminal cases in the United States. Although it was not really created with that specific purpose, over the years it experienced memorable moments in which it was granted with the prestige and value required to be inserted in the Constitution of that country, as a safeguard against the arbitrariness of the governmental power. Today, however, the great importance that it had in the past has significantly decreased. The needs and practices of a system with a particularly high rate of convictions have relegated and transformed it into a real endangered specie. The following article describes and explains its birth and rise, as well as its subsequent virtual disappearance due to the not so efficient as dangerous guilty pleas.Desde su aparición en Europa, el juicio por jurados tuvo que recorrer un largo camino para convertirse en el método oficial de juzgamiento de casos penales en los Estados Unidos. A pesar de que no fue creado exactamente con esa finalidad, tuvo varios momentos memorables durante su desarrollo que le otorgaron el prestigio y valor necesarios para insertarse en la Constitución de ese país como una garantía frente al abuso del poder. Hoy, sin embargo, la gran importancia que alguna vez tuvo ha quedado atrás. Las necesidades y prácticas propias de un sistema con una altísima tasa de condenas han terminado por relegarlo, convirtiéndolo en una verdadera especie en peligro de extinción. El siguiente artículo describe y explica el nacimiento y auge de los juicios por jurados para causas penales y su posterior virtual desaparición a manos de los no tan eficientes como peligrosos acuerdos negociados de condena.

In this regard, the author makes a conceptual analysis of the unlawfulness or illegality, and he examines three cases of liability, such as environmental damage, the interim resolution and withdraw the work of trade; demonstrating, effectively, the dispensable nature of the unlawfulness and the existence of scenarios of liability arising from harmful lawful acts.El presente artículo aborda la temática referida a los actos lícitos dañosos, los cuales también generan responsabilidad civil, descartando así a la ilicitud como un elemento indispensable para la generación de responsabilidad civil. En este sentido, el artículo parte del análisis conceptual de la ilicitud o antijuridicidad, para luego arribar al examen de tres supuestos de responsabilidad civil, como lo son el daño ambiental, la resolución cautelar y el retiro de la obra del comercio; demostrando, efectivamente, el carácter prescindible de la ilicitud y la existencia de escenarios de responsabilidad civil derivados de actos lícitos dañosos.

Full textAbstract:
This article presents a comparative analysis of the development of the citizenship and theright to vote concepts during the XIX century, in Andean countries’ constitutions, specifically in Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru. In a particular way, the question about the inclusion of the indigenous people in Peru and Bolivia was medullary in the constituent discussions, and was resolved in many ways in both countries: in Bolivia, the debate fluctuated around many solutions until the imposition of the decree for the restriction of the right to vote just for literate people on the decade of 1840 (excluding the big indigenous majority), while in Peru, that restriction would not have been implemented until 1896.Debate processes and redefinitions have not existes in Ecuador: since the first constitution, it was established the requirement of knowing read and write to exercise citizenship. The differences between Ecuador and the other two cases is related with socioeconomic and political processes, specifically the regional conflicts that difficult the consolidation of a national unity, and the relation between indigenous and plantations since the beginning of the XIX century in Ecuador. More precisely, this article tries to situate the constitutional and legislative solutions in more wide political debates, as well as the social and economic changes that they have been generating.Este artículo presenta un análisis comparado del desarrollo del concepto de ciudadanía y derecho al sufragio durante el siglo XIX, en las constituciones de los países de la región andina, concretamente, en Bolivia, Ecuador y Perú. De modo particular en Bolivia y Perú, la pregunta sobre la inclusión de los indígenas fue medular en los debates constituyentes, resolviéndose de diversa manera en ambos países: en Bolivia fluctuó en diversas soluciones, hasta decretarse la re- stricción del sufragio a los letrados en la década de 1840 (por tanto, a la gran mayoría indígena), mientras que en Perú ello no se daría sino hasta 1896.En Ecuador, no hubo un proceso de debates y redefiniciones: desde la primera Constitución se estableció el requisito de saber leer y escribir para ejercer la ciudadanía. Las diferencias con los otros dos casos tienen que ver con procesos de carácter socioeconómico y político, específicamente, los conflictos regionales que dificultaron la consolidación de la propia unidad nacional, y la relación entre indígenas y hacienda desde los inicios del siglo XIX en Ecuador. Precisamente, en este trabajo, buscamos situar las soluciones constitucionales y legislativas en los debates políticos más amplios, así como con los cambios sociales y económicos que se iban generando.

Full textAbstract:
In the current Peruvian context, the provincial mayors face serious problems to remain inoffice or to pursue a future political race. In this scenario, the social conflicts arise as an alternative for obtaining such legitimacy; however, depending on the type of participation adopted, the mayor could or could not be benefited from such an opportunity. The paper presents an analysis of the participation of those authorities in social conflicts and its effects on his political career.It is argued that the participatory scheme, which provides a clear firmness in support of demands immediately; but, at the same time, the ability to negotiate with the State; would yield the expected political revenue. On the other hand, if the authority is very weak or very radical, his attempts to use the social conflict to their advantage could fail. To test this hypothesis, I studied the conflicts of Arequipa in 2002 and Espinar in 2012.En el actual contexto peruano, los alcaldes provinciales enfrentan serios problemas para mantenerse en el cargo obtenido o perseguir un futuro político. En este escenario, los conflictos sociales aparecen como una alternativa para obtener dicha legitimidad; sin embargo, dependerá del tipo de participación que se adopte si es que el alcalde se ve o no beneficiado de dicha opor- tunidad. El documento plantea un análisis de la participación de dichas autoridades en los con- flictos sociales y los efectos de ésta en su carrera política.En ese sentido, se argumenta que el esquema de participación, que contempla una clara firmeza en apoyo a las demandas de manera inmediata; pero, a la vez, la capacidad de negocia- ción con el Estado; permitiría obtener el rédito político esperado. De otro lado, si la autoridad es o muy débil o muy radical, sus intentos de utilizar el conflicto social para su beneficio podrían fracasar. Para comprobar dicha hipótesis, se estudiaron los conflictos de Arequipa en el año 2002, y el conflicto de Espinar en el 2012.

This article discusses the use of the mechanism of parliamentary control of interpellation to ministers in the Peruvian case, with the objective of stablish which factors determine the effectives of opposition groups to approve the motions of interpellations they present during the post- Fujimori goverrnments of Alejandro Toledo, Alan García and Ollanta Humala (2001-2013). Taking into account the size, discipline and the number of motions presented, this research argues that the most effective parliamentary groups have high levels of discipline and present a reasonable number of motions, in relation to their capacity to approve them. The levels of discipline and effectiveness of each parliamentary group were calculate through the recompilation ofdata from 85 motions and 36 debates about the admission of the process.Este artículo aborda el uso del mecanismo de control político parlamentario de interpelación a ministros en el caso peruano, con el objetivo de identificar cuáles son los factores que influencian en la efectividad de las bancadas de oposición para aprobar las mociones de interpe- lación durante los gobiernos post-Fujimori de Alejandro Toledo, Alan García y Ollanta Humala (2001-2013). Tomando en cuenta el tamaño, la disciplina y el número de mociones presentadas por cada bancada parlamentaria, se concluye que las bancadas más efectivas son aquellas que tienen un alto nivel de disciplina y que presentan un número de mociones razonable, de acuerdo a su capacidad para aprobarlos. Para hallar los niveles de disciplina del voto y efectividad se recopiló los datos de 85 mociones de interpelaciones y de 36 votaciones sobre su admisión.

In that order of ideas, this right is not alleged in courts to be enforced due its content is not well known. Therefore, our research has the purpose of analyzing common situations, where the right to choose freely among products and services is discussed with the objective to limiting its scope clear and evenly, which would greatly contribute to its compliance.En el Perú, no se han desarrollado en extenso los alcances del derecho a elegir, libremente, entre productos y servicios, consagrado, actualmente, en el artículo 1º, inciso 1, literal f ) del Código de Protección y Defensa del Consumidor. En ese sentido, podemos manifestar que este derecho no se hace respetar a plenitud por parte de los consumidores, en la medida que su real contenido no es conocido. Por ende, en este breve artículo queremos pasar revista a aquellas situaciones de la vida cotidiana, en las cuales el respeto al derecho a elegir está en discusión, con el fin de que aplicando, básicamente, el método deductivo se clarifiquen los alcances del mismo, y situaciones que hoy no son pasibles de cumplimiento por parte de los proveedores, lo sean.

Despite their benefits and inclusion in the policy of most National TB Programme (NTP) guidelines of the resource-limited countries, there is still a wide gap between policy and implementation. The implementation of contact screening for active case finding might be improved by the decentralised use of the Xpert MTB/RIF test in gastric lavage (GL) specimens, but this has not been previously assessed. Furthermore, although the provision of IPT to eligible child contacts has been a focus for implementation by the NTP of Rwanda since 2005, implementation has not previously been evaluated. The assessment of IPT uptake and adherence as well as associated factors could be informative for the programme. Therefore, we aimed to assess the diagnostic yield of Xpert MTB/RIF in GL among child contacts with suspected pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) and the uptake of and adherence to IPT by eligible child contacts to make recommendations towards strengthening TB diagnostic and prevention in children in Kigali, Rwanda. Methods: The proposed study setting Kigali, the capital city of Rwanda, was the location for 30% of the national PTB case notifications in 2013-14.A conceptual framework based on ecological theory was used in this study. Quantitative, qualitative and mixed (using both quantitative and qualitative research methods in one study) research methods were applied, and various research designs were used depending on the research questions. The study involved a cross-sectional analysis of the diagnostic yield of Xpert MTB/RIF in GL among all child contacts with suspected TB. Across-sectional and prospective cohort study design was used to assess the uptake and adherence of IPT among eligible child contacts.

Full textAbstract:
A partir d’une ethnographie de la circulation des travailleurs manuels originaires d’un village du Télangana, en Andhra Pradesh, cette recherche explore les mondes sociaux, politiques et économiques des travailleurs migrants en Inde, les dynamiques et le quotidien des rapports sociaux intercastes et interclasses. Basée sur un terrain mené tant sur les espaces de travail et de vie (en zone rurale et urbaine, dans le secteur de la construction) qu’au village, cette étude contribue aux débats sur la transformation des relations de travail par l’analyse de l’asservissement pour dettes, de l’emploi journalier, du patronage, de la médiation et de l’ascension des basses castes. L’examen des contextes sociaux et culturels des expériences du travail et de la migration, des liens de caste et de classe, du labeur, de la dette, de la confiance et des manières de résister et de dominer fournit matière à une critique de la scission théorique entre travail libre et non libre, au profit d’un continuum des formes de travail et de migration, basé sur des dépendances multiples et gradées. Cette approche rend ainsi compte des micro-hiérarchies et des rapports à la mobilité sociale et à l’autorité. Cette recherche s’intéresse ensuite aux dimensions politiques et sociales du retour des travailleurs migrants et à leurs quêtes de dépendances et de protections, multiples et temporaires, au village. Le quotidien des rapports de pouvoir et des relations intercastes et interclasses est examiné à partir des pratiques et des discours d’un intermédiaire politique, des contestations publiques et de la camaraderie en état d’ébriété, des espoirs de mobilité sociale des jeunes migrants scolarisés, et lors d’un conflit politico-religieux. L’étude des logiques de domination, d’acceptation et de résistance des travailleurs exprimées dans les luttes pour l’accès aux ressources du village contrôlées par les dominants (parti politique, crédit, programmes de développement gouvernementaux et ONG) montre de quelles manières s’entremêlent la politisation des basses castes et la recomposition des rapports de clientélisme au villageBased on a detailed ethnography of circulation of labourers, originated from a village of Telangana (Andhra Pradesh) and employed in rural and urban construction work, this thesis explores the social, political and economical worlds of labour migrants and the dynamics and everydayness of intercastes and classes relationships. Through a fieldwork carried out on both spaces of work and life at the destination places and village setting, this research contributes to debates on the transformation of labour relations in contemporary India by examining issues such as bonded labour, daily wage work, patron-client relations, mediation and low-caste ascendancy. The study of social and cultural contexts of labour and migration experiences, toil, debt, recruitment, trust and modes of resistance and domination brings material for a critic of theoretical divide between free and unfree labour. It shows how an approach through the continuum of labour and migration forms gives a better account of micro-hierarchies, dependency, social mobility and authority. This research then explores the social and political dimensions of the return of migrants and their quest for multiple and temporary protection and dependency taking place in the village. The everydayness of power relationships and the reinvestment of migrants into village activities are examined through the practices and discourses of a political intermediary, the public contestation and friendship after alcohol consumption, the aspirations of rural youth and political-religious conflicts. This sheds new light on the logics of acceptation, domination and resistance around access to local resources (development programs, NGO’s, political parties) cornered by dominant groups and on the overlapping of the politicisation of low-caste and of the reconstruction of patronage in the village

Cette thèse a pour objectif de questionner la notion d'identité brahmanique en Inde aujourd'hui. Notre étude se fonde sur la mise en perspective de discours de brahmanes contemporains des classes moyennes urbaines, établis à Delhi, Agra et Chennai (Madras). Elle s'inscrit dans le cadre d'une appréhension du contexte culturel de la politique. Les brahmanes, originellement chargés de la sphère sacrée, ont suivi des parcours des plus hétérogènes, créant ainsi autant de sous-cultures et de modes de représentation du monde. Notre approche tend à mettre en lumière les facteurs à même d'expliquer de telles différenciations. Elle s'appuie sur l'analyse des processus de construction identitaire. L'identité brahmanique n'est pas un absolu. Les diverses manifestations identitaires brahmaniques doivent être appréhendées dans un contexte défini, en relation avec des altérités de référence. .This thesis aims at questioning the notion of brahmanical identity in India today. Our study is based on the contextualisation of discourses coming from contemporary urban middle class brahmins settled in Delhi, Agra and Chennai (Madras). It falls within the framework of an analysis of the cultural context of politics. Brahmins, originally in charge of the sacred sphere, followed different paths, creating therefore many subcultures and ways of apprehending the world. Our approach consists in highlighting factors through which such differenciations can be explained. It deals with understanding processes of identity building. Brahmin identity is not an absolute notion. The various manifestations of brahmanical identities have to be taken in a defined context, in connection with specific expressions of otherness. .

Plus précisément, que se passe-t-il entre les groupes tribaux, appélés Adivasi, et les gens de caste dans ce lieu perçu de manières différentes par les protagonistes, et qui trouve un formidable raccourci dans cette phrase éponyme de notre thèse livrée à un carrefour d'une ville : "It's not real India there". Nous nous sommes particulièrement intéressés aux relations qui relient ces deux groupes sociologiques. La forte politisation du lieu nous a ainsi conduit à considérer "les modes d'agir dans le monde comme modes d'agir sur le monde". Le positionnement des Adivasi face aux gens de caste, et inversement, entraîne en effet un troisième élément : le territoire. Nous avons ainsi suivi "les jeux relationnels constitutifs du Jharkhand",à travers des assemblages et des mises en relation de situations et d'attitudes ou encore d'histoires, dans leurs expressions quotidiennes et leurs oppositions politiques.

Baba ramdeo, egalement appele ranshah pir, est une divinite populaire de l'inde traditionnellement adoree par un groupe d'intouchables hindous, les meghwal; mais de nos jours elle est reveree pratiquement par toutes les castes et communautes religieuses du rajasthan. Son sanctuaire se presente a la fois comme un dargah ou tombeau de saint musulman et comme un temple hindou. La tradition orale des meghwal et de leurs pretres, les kamad, permet de retracer l'origine ismaelienne du personnage historique de ramdeo et de la secte qu'il fonda. Le syncretisme religieux qui caracterise le mouvement a ses debuts tend peu a peu a s'estomper au profit d'une structure nettement rehindouisee; cependant, les intouchables continuent a adorer ramdeo comme leur divinite tutelaire, et font de sa tradition une veritable "carte d'identite" de leur casteBaba ramdeo, also called ramshah pir, is an indian fol deity, traditionnally worshipped by a hindu group of untouchebles, the meghwals; but nowadays, his cult is equally widespread among nearly all castes and religious communities of rajasthan. His shrine appears simultaneously as a dargah or grave of a muslim saint and as a hindu temple. The oral tradtion of the meghwals and of their priests, the kamads, reveals the ismali origin of ramdeo hinself, as a historical figure, and of the sect he founded. The religious syncretism which characterizes the movement at its very beginning gradually tends to vanish and evolve towards a more and more hinduized structure; the untouchables, however, continue to worship ramdeo as their tutelary deity as far as his tradition serves to strengh then their caste identity

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse s'inscrit dans le courant de pensée qui vise à réintégrer les institutions et l'identité sociales en économie. Dans cette thèse, nous présentons un modèle qui décrit la ségrégation comme un des équilibres provenant d'une distribution inégale du pouvoir sans que des préférences ségrégationniste n'aient besoin d'être spécifiées. Dans le second chapitre, nous montrons que la caste détermine le statut social perçu des intouchables et des tribus. Néanmoins, d'autres facteurs comme le revenu, la profession et dans une moindre mesure l'éducation ont aussi une importance. De plus la caste a un effet à la fois direct et indirect, ce dernier s'exprimant par une influence réduite du revenu sur le statut social perçu. Dans le troisième chapitre, nous mettons en évidence la persistance des pratiques d'intouchabilité. Nous montrons que le nombre de crimes contre les intouchables est positivement relié à une distribution communautaire de l'eau. Les règles de castes prohibent le contact des intouchables avec les sources d'eau des castes supérieures. Bien que ces règles soient anticonstitutionnelles, elles sont encore largement appliquées et de manière violente. A priori, ces règles ne concernent pas uniquement l'eau mais aussi une grande partie des biens publics, ce qui laisse à penser que ces derniers sont en réalité des biens de club ou de caste. Ce dernier point est étudié dans le chapitre 4 où nous montrons qu'il existe du patronage de castes. En conclusion, nous proposons des pistes de recherche, visant, essentiellement, à améliorer la compréhension de la formation des identités sociales et les raisons de leurs mises en exergue.

Full textAbstract:
L'affrontement entre Maravar et Pallar, qui mine le Sud de l'Inde, n'a pas encore été analysé avec toute la rigueur nécessaire. Les Maravar occupent une place dominante dans la hiérarchie sociale, alors que les Pallar représentent la plus basse catégorie sociale. En fait, ces derniers sont qualifiés d'impurs et traités comme Intouchables. En accumulant progressivement le capital économique et le capital scolaire, en éveillant leur conscience à l'iniquité de leur position sociale, ces derniers se révoltent aujourd'hui contre la hiérarchie sociale traditionnelle et les pratiques d'intouchabilité. Les Maravar essaient quant à eux de maintenir leur position dominante en déclenchant de nombreuses violences contre les Intouchables afin de les maintenir dans leur place traditionnelle. Ainsi les Pallar, en se révoltant, provoquent-ils une situation conflictuelle. Cette thèse utilise le concept de "champ" de Pierre Bourdieu pour analyser les facteurs fondamentaux du conflit et pour en identifier la base socialeThe caste conflict between Maravar and Pallar, well known in South India, is not yet analysed by sociologists and anthropologists. One of the castes in the conflict, the Maravar, occupies a position of domination in the social hierarchy, whereas the Pallar are considered as an inferior caste. In fact, Pallar are qualified as impure and treated as untouchables. Accumulating progressively economic capital and elaborating their knowledge about the modern world by education, the Pallar protest against the traditional social hierarchy and the practice of untouchability. The Maravar, who are superior and dominant to the Pallar, unleash violence against them to put them back in their traditional place in the social hierarchy. Thus, the Pallar by their protest and non submision to the Maravar, create a conflictual situation. This thesis uses the concept of "field" of Pierre Bourdieu to analyse the various fondamental factors and to identity the social basis of the conflict

In recent decades, many studies have focused on the forecasting of volatility. The GARCH model provides the heteroskedasticity of the asset returns. But estimating the volatility can be difficult, because volatility is not observable. Chou(2005) proposed CARR (Conditional Autoregressive Range) model to explain the time-varying of range. In this study, We use CARR model by using TAIEX index data from 1999 to 2011, to compare different distribution (exponential, Weibull and Gamma distribution). And combine the CARR model and GARCH model, to compare the out-of-sample forecasts of Range-based GARCH and Return-based GARCH. We find the Gamma distribution is the best of those assumptions. And GARCH-CARR model provides the better prediction of volatility.

This study investigates whether utilizing data on net open interest of foreign investors, of dealers, and of investment trust could earn extra positive rate of return on Taiwan Stock Index Futures and MSCI Taiwan Stock Index Futures investment. I use daily price data on Taiwan Stock Index Futures and MSCI Taiwan Stock Index Futures from July 2, 2007 to April 15, 2015. The ordinary least squares (OLS) regression is used, where I try many models with various combinations of the changes of daily/weekly net open interest of foreign investors, dealers, and investment trust. Also, various lag periods are tried. In total, I make and test twenty-six models and calculate their out-of-the-sample rate of returns. The empirical conclusions are as follows: Twenty investment models can achieve more than 50% forecast correct rate. In particular, for daily investment, the best model for Taiwan Stock Index Futures is to utilize the changes of daily net open interest of foreign investors, of dealers, and of investment trust. In my sample, this model earns an out-of-the-sample annual rate of return of 19.88%. For MSCI Taiwan Stock Index Futures, the best investment model is to utilize the change of weekly accumulative net open interest of foreign investors and the weekly accumulative return of MSCI Taiwan Stock Index Futures. It achieves an out-of-the-sample annual rate of return of 19.44%. For weekly investment, the best model for Taiwan Stock Index Futures investment is to utilize the change of weekly accumulative net open interest of investment trust. It achieves an out-of-the-sample annual rate of return of 14.09%. For MSCI Taiwan Stock Index Futures, the best model utilizes the change of weekly accumulative net open interest of dealers, and achieves an out-of-the-sample annual rate of return of 12.93%.

There are lots of area which does not have complete credit market. To analyze the credit risk of these area, first we have to construct these credit markets correctly. This article extends the study method of Lee, Chung and Tao (2011). By Moody’s KMV structure model, we can price a credit portfolio similar to CDX. NA. IG by simulation. In order to reduce the variation of simulation results, I used analytic solution of default time and variance reduction method when sampling. Then calculation by J.P. Morgan''s LHP (Large Homogeneous Pool) model, we get the base correlation with respect to each upper attachment point. Finally, we can analyze the credit index, base correlation and the upfront fee for each tranche. The empirical results uses Taiwan''s market data. There are two samples: first is the listed and the OTC financial firms; another sample is the industrial firms of constituent stocks of Taiwan 50 index. It shows that this study method is credible. Moreover, this method also shows the difference impacts of big financial events (such as financial crisis) between financial firms and industrial firms.

This paper aims to utilize technical indicators to construct trading strategies. Through trading simulations and comparisons, Some feasible trading strategies has proposed according to the results Moving average (single, two, three MA), KD, RSI,% R, and MACD are chosen indicators. The data studied is Taiwan Stock Index Futures between 2009/1/5-2011/12/30. The empirical results show single MA test with long parameters is more profitable. In addition, two MA have less repeatedly signals, and three MA can determine the trend. Through trading test, we do not recommend to use only one single technical indicators like KD, RSI,% R, MACD, as the only one principle. Finally, 10MA+KD and 10MA+RSI are used to analyze agricultural stocks, Charoen Pokphand, Sinon, Taiwan Fertilizer. The result of 10MA + KD profit better than the result of10MA + RSI. Investors should use MA with KD indicator in a short time period of stock trading.

The purposes of the present paper are four folds: (1) Examine price manipulation on the settlement dates of TAIFEX TAIEX futures (TAIFEX TF) and SGX MSCI Taiwan Index futures (SGX TF). (2) Inquire the predictability on the binary directions of either pulling up index or squeezing down index on the settlement dates via an industry based model. (3) Survey the effects of the settlement institutional changes on the alienation of the price manipulation phenomenon. The empirical data used in this study spans 1998.7.22-2005.10.19, covering the available eighty six settlement dates. The main evidences on this study are: (1) there do exist the expiration date effects for TAIFE FX and SGX TF, in particular, MGX TF showing strong significance in the empirical test. (2) The industry based five factors model renders over 70% prediction accuracy via the Logistic regression and over 80% for a feedforward artificial neural network. Moreover, the predictor variable of the previous price change of US Dow Jones Industry Average Index exhibits a pompous explaining power to the binary direction of price manipulation. (3) Changes in settlement mechanisms do improve the price volatility in the settlement dates for both TAIFE FX and SGX TF. Specifically, after adopting the fifteen minutes average prices rule, TAIFEX TX has significant reduced its volatility since then. Meanwhile, TAIEX taking pre-close five minutes call price also has been improving the price volatility on MSCI TF settlement dates. Both mechanism dummy variables have significantly improved the price manipulation on futures settlement dates.And(4)Simulation of trading profit shows that the market model gains significantly higher profit than a naïve trading strategy does.

Background In addition to other risk factors such as HBV and HCV infection, family history is also demonstrated to be associated with the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Therefore, screening for high-risk subjects ascertained through family index case with sonography is regarded as one of approaches to identify early-detected HCC cases. Evaluation of effectiveness of ultrasonography screening and the better understanding of disease progression of HCC using such kind of data have significant implication for early detection of HCC cases among these high-risk subjects. Aims The aims of this study are therefore to (1)assess whether an index approach has a high yield of detecting HCC cases compared with the routine-finding in the absence of organized screening program; (2)elucidate the association between demographic features, ALT, AST, alpha-fetoprotein, degrees of relative relationship, and occurrence of HCC cases or deaths; (3)quantify the disease natural history of HCC disease progression, the program sensitivity, and positive predictive value; (4)project mortality reduction as a result of ultrasonography screening with adjustment for these putative risk factors and lead-time bias. Methods A total of 20,348 first- or second-degree relatives of patients with HCC diagnosed in multiple hospitals were enrolled in a multicentre hospital-based ultrasonography screening between 1992 and 1997. The cohort was linked with Taiwan Cancer Registry and Taiwan Mortality Registry for further confirmation of clinically-detected cases and death. We used logistic regression to identify factors affecting the detection in the prevalent screen, and proportional hazards regression models for the factors affecting the incidence of and mortality from HCC. Two statistical models, early indicator of the proportion of post-screening cases to the expected incidence rate conjugated with Poisson model and multi-state stochastic modeling, were used to estimate mean sojourn time (MST), sensitivity, and positive predictive values of the screening program. Results After adjusting for the well-established biological environmental factors, we found degrees of relative relationship was significantly associated with cases detected in the screening (odds ratio (OR)=4.0 (95% confidence interval : 1.84-8.53) for siblings compared to offspring, and 4.16 (95% confidence interval : 1.35-12.88) for parents compared to offspring). For the incidence of interval cancer or post-screening cases, degrees of relative relationship were also significant factors (hazard ratio (HR) of siblings versus offspring was 1.82 (95% confidence interval : 1.49-2.21), and of parents versus offspring was 1.62 (95% confidence interval : 1.14-2.31). However, it is not significantly associated with survival of HCC. Level of education was found associated with HCC survival. The lower level of education, the poorer survival was found. Regarding the screening findings, the detection rate at prevalence screen was 2 per 1000 (41/20348). It decreased to 0.93 per 1000, and 0.75 per 1000 at the second and third or further subsequent screening. The incidence rate of interval cancer and post screening cases were 1.87 and 2.10, respectively. As regards the efficacy of screening with ultrasonography, compared to post-screening cases, screening detected and interval cancers combined had a 27% lower risk of dying from HCC (95% confidence interval : 1%-46%), with adjustment for other biological environmental risk factores, degrees of relative relationship and lead-time. The estimated mean sojourn time and sensitivity were 0.35 years and 61.2% with Poisson model, and 0.76 and 79.4% with the multistate stochastic model. The MST together with the program sensitivity yielded 24.2% and 67.7% of two positive predictive values for the Poisson model and three-state stochastic model, respectively. Conclusion This study demonstrated ultrasonography screening can lead to a 27% (95% confidence interval : 1%-46%) statistically significant mortality reduction with adjustment for family history, other environmental factors, and lead time obtained from natural history. The estimated parameters of disease natural history suggests the intensive screening may even lead to a large benefit.

The purpose of this thesis is to determine the key explanatory factors that explain why some First Nations reach an agreement through the British Columbia Treaty Process, while others do not. To do this, analytical frameworks from Gabrielle Slowey and Christopher Alcantara are empirically applied to three First Nations who are (or were) negotiating agreements in the province. The findings conclude that negotiations in the Treaty Process produce different results for the same reasons that Alcantara and Slowey identify for Aboriginal groups throughout Canada. They depend on the particular circumstances of each First Nation within the current institutional structure. This structure defines the relationship between Aboriginal and state actors and provides a set of options from which the former may choose to navigate their futures. However, in addition to the determining factors that Alcantara and Slowey identify, this thesis finds that it is also imperative to take into account the desire of a First Nation to use the Treaty Process as a means to progress along its own path of self-determination.

In mid-2006, American housing price declined sharply. As a result, the default risk of those original sub-prime loans or refinancing loans was climbing. In 2007, US subprime loan crisis were out of control and negatively affected the US economy. This led to global economic panic, global stock selloffs, higher unemployment rate and financial institution bankruptcy. Thus the purpose of this study is to hopefully prevent similar event from happening again, basing on the examination of relationships between stock index and real exchange rate in sub-prime crisis. This study will focus on reviewing top 10 American trading countries including Canada, China, Mexico, Japan, Germany, United Kingdom, South Korea, France, Taiwan and Brazil. The studying periods are prior to subprime crisis (2005-2006), during subprime crisis (2007-2008) and after subprime crisis (2009-2010). Also, we will analyze the relationships between stock index and real exchange rate on those 10 countries during those 3 periods respectively. First, the unit root tests are used to investigate if all of the series are stable. Then, the existence of co-integrated relationship between stock index and real exchange rate is examined. We further use Vector Error Correction Model or VAR model, causal relationship test, impulse response analysis and Forecast Error Variance Decomposition. The study shows that all series in our data were unstable, stock index and real exchange rate does not have co-integrated relationship and there are different causalities and impulse responses prior, during and after the subprime crisis.

This paper uses the VaR approach to determine the filter ratio to examine the trading performance. Based on the relative risk management on VaR, we use the ED, EQMQ, EWMA and GARCH (1, 1) to derive the filter ratio. We use the major stock market index futures-S&P500, Nikkei225, TAIEX, KOSPI200, Hang-Seng, Straits as research samples. In the meanwhile, we also use the Static and Dynamic models with four approaches- ED, EQMA, EWMA and GARCH (1, 1) separately to generate the filter ratio and also examine the trading performance. The results show that the negative relationship between the trading frequency and performance exists for ED, EQMA, EWMA and GARCH (1, 1) respectively due to the trading cost. The results also show that the positive relationship between the volatility and filter ratio. In the meantime, we find there is a significant difference between the Static model and Dynamic model on the performance. The performance of Dynamic model is better, especially for ED, EQMA and GARCH (1, 1). Also the performance of filter-rule trading strategy is better than the one of B&H (Buy and Hold). What’s more, abnormal returns by filter rule exist respectively in S&P500, Nikkei225 and Hang-Seng.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is a critical examination of newspaper coverage of Canadian-born cases of Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) discovered between May 2003 and December 2005. Data for the thesis has been compiled from three newspapers: the Edmonton Journal, the Calgary Herald, and the Globe & Mail. The Alberta newspapers were chosen for their proximity to the BSE discoveries, and the Globe & Mail was chosen for the national focus of its coverage. Using Fairclough’s method of ordering discourses, I examine three discourses prominently featured in the coverage: the political discourse, the science discourse, and the socio-cultural discourse. I analyse the three discourses independently, incorporating relevant theory to further explicate the discourses. The primary focus of the thesis is on the newspaper coverage of the first Canadian-born BSE case, but newspaper coverage of additional discoveries are included to examine how the BSE media package changed over time.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines how the various characteristics of the Central and Eastern European new Member States, as indicated by the case studies of the Czech Republic and Hungary. affect how elite monetary policy makers within these states perceive the euro, both politically and economically. In order to answer this question economic and political expectations of what one would predict the perceptions of the euro within these state to
be are developed from the official sources and existing Iiterature. The expectations reflect both the symbolic and political utility of currency in the development of collective sentiment as well as address the economic roles of currency. These expectations are then assessed against interview data collected from interviews with elite decision-makers within the Czech Republic and Hungary. Through this approach I argue that the opinions of elite decision-makers suggest that there is a complex interplay between the economic and the political regarding the perceptions of the euro within these states which reflect the unique character of these states. Moreover, I argue that even though the motivations of policy makers are in many cases particular to the NMS they are also run counter to some intuitive and scholarly predictions which indicate the need for further research.

Referred to series studies of indoor air quality (IAQ) in architecture environ-ment control, this study emphasized on office buildings of 3 industrial parks in the south of Taiwan, investigated from November 1998 to March 1999. It comprised questionnaire survey, detailed monitoring, and statistical analysis of 4 office buildings, including 9 rooms. In this survey, indoor and outdoor air pollutants (PM10, CO, CO2, SO2, NO2, HCHO, VOCs), air temperature, related humidity, and air velocity were monitored, and air change rate was measured. Based on the theory review of risk assessment, tracer gas concentration decay method, and thermal comfort, the investigated data were converted into a set of sub-indices, including carcinogen risk (Risk), hazard index (HI), air change rate (ACH), and predicted mean vote (PMV). By the results of comparing those 4 sub-indices with occurrence frequency of sick building syndrome (SBS) analyzed from questionnaire, we proceed the quantitative assessment on the IAQ of these cases, and establish regression models related to SBS. These models can be used to gauge indoor air pollutants (IAPs), ACH, and thermal comfort of indoor air environment, and be the basic reference of ‘healthy’ building design. Our major findings were as below: 1. The questionnaire survey found that 58% of the tenants contracted at least one of 18 syndromes as NIOSH lists. In addition, by the measured results, all of the means of IAP concentration were lower than the adapted threshold. And PMV showed that the rooms got a little hot. 2. The mean values of ACH were lower than Building Criteria in Taiwan, but equal to or higher than ASHRAE 62R-1996 and building code in Japan. Because IAQ was under control, the definition and magnitude of ‘air change requirement’ in Taiwan Building Criteria should be revised necessarily. 3. We assumed a weighted index, SBSw, based on SBS ratio multiplied by SBS occurrence frequency. After conversion and statistical analysis, we found that SBSw was significant correlative to HI. (R2＝0.7372, F-value=19.63＞F0.95(1,7)= 5.59) 4. Synthesizing indoor air-environment sub-indices－Risk, HI, ACH, and PMV, we proposed an index to predict SBSw. It’s named ‘Indoor Air-environment Index (IAI)’. According to different health effects, IAI contains carcinogen index IAI(carc) and non-carcinogen index IAI(conc). The former can explain 65.6% of SBS occurrence frequency, the latter can explain 75.0%.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the inclusion of race as a factor for consideration in the best interest of the child test for custody and access determinations through the lens of Critical Race Theory and Critical Race Feminism. This thesis contributes to the ongoing feminist discussions and debates on the benefits and risks of including race in the best interest of the child test since the death of Bill C-22 An Act to Amend the Divorce Act. Through a review of family law reform and Van de Perre v. Edwards, the leading case to articulate that race is a relevant factor, I will highlight how race has come to be interpreted. Interviews were conducted with women advocates and lawyers who primarily advocated for racialized women and children in custody and access determinations. Their lived experiences of the challenges and struggles that racialized women experience in family law, particularly, the best interest of the child test, assist in providing a counter-story to White mainstream family law discourse.

With an effort to reduce growing health care costs, DRGs/PPS has been implemented in U.S. . However, patients cared in hospitals are supposed to suffer from a wide variety of different diseases and conditions, HCFA has developed an indicator(Case-Mix Index; CMI) to recognize the difference of relative costliness of hospitals from the average consuming of resources during case mix. It will reflect the average case-mix for all hospitals to adjust for differences in hospital costs that result from the very differences in the type and mix of cases treated by various hospitals. In order to recognize the case-mix complexity of different hospitals in Taiwan, we tried to apply CMI developed by HCFA and chose one medical center (hospital A) and two regional hospitals (hospital B and C) haphazardly in Taipei city to calculate their CMIs by the data of inpatients(excluding self-paying inpatients) actually from July to December, 1995. We find that CMI for hospital A(1.2210) bigger than the counter parts for hospital B (0.9159) and hospital C (0.8631). It corresponded to original hypothesis: medical center deal with more complicated cases with higher CMI than that for regional hospitals. If the more complicated cases need more intensive medical care, then it could be concluded to that the sequence in medical care ability is: hospital A > hospital B > hospital C. We also used DRGs of three hospitals as" title " and the multiplicity of their relative weight and case numbers as" value " to analyze the value distribution of these three hospitals. We have found the highest 20% values of DRGs of these hospitals having occupied more than 70% of total values in each hospital. It has met Pareto Principle and could be referred to hospital management.

The study takes the SIMEX Taiwan Stock Index Futures and Taiwan Stock Index as the objectives. The major purpose focused on examine the relationship between these two markets'' prices, discussing the causality between these two markets with VAR( Vector Auto-Regressive) model, and providing some suggestions for investing in these two markets. The data was covered from Jan. 9, 1997 through Mar. 16, 1998, with total 332 sets of market price data. The results showed that the closing index of Taiwan Stock Index Futures andthe opening index of Taiwan Stock Index existed a co-integration. From the lagof the VAR model, we found that the closing index of Futures and the closing index of Stock showed a feedback relationship; the closing index of Futures ledthe first period and the 5th period of opening index of Futures; the closingindex of Futures led the 2nd period and the 5th period of opening index ofStock; the closing index of Stock and the opening index of Futures wereindependent; and the opening index of Futures led the 4th period of openingindex of Stock. From the Decomposition of Variance analysis, we found that no matter whichTaiwan Stock Index Futures opening and closing Index or Taiwan Stock Index opening and closing index were mainly affected by the closing index of Taiwan Stock Index Futures. From the impulse response function analysis, we found that only the closing index of Taiwan Stock Index Futures showed a positiveresponse, indexes showed both positive and negative response.
