Dissertação de Mestrado em Psicologia Comunitária<br>As parcerias comunitárias na área da violência doméstica têm vindo a ser formadas de modo a promover uma melhor articulação entre as várias entidades da comunidade nas respostas que disponibilizam às mulheres sobreviventes de violência doméstica.
A investigação anterior mostra-nos que uma parceria serve para rentabilizar os recursos de uma comunidade em questões sociais complexas, que carecem de respostas abrangentes, como é o caso da problemática da violência doméstica.
Assim, fomos analisar a Rede de Apoio a Mulheres e Crianças em Situação de Violência do Montijo de modo a identificar percepção de eficácia desta parceria, bem como alguns dos factores preditores dessa eficácia como por exemplo, a concretização de objectivos da parceria, os processos de tornada de decisão, a missão e a liderança da parceria.
Os resultados obtidos apontam para um nível de satisfação bastante elevado dos participantes, bem como a concretização dos objectivos propostos, especialmente em áreas fora do sistema judicial. Os seus diversos membros são participantes activos e os dados obtidos apontam para uma tendência desta parceria a ter um clima inclusivo, o preditor de ser considerada eficaz pelos seus membros.

Full textAbstract:
This paper estimates the income elasticity of government pharmaceutical spending
and assesses the simultaneous effect of such spending on gross domestic product
(GDP). Using a panel dataset for 136 countries from 1995 to 2006, we employ a
two-step instrumental variable procedure where we first estimate the effect of
GDP on public pharmaceutical expenditure using tourist receipts as an instrumentforGDP.
In the secondstep,weconstructanadjusted pharmaceutical expenditure
series where the response of public pharmaceutical expenditure to GDP is
partialled out and use this endogeneity adjusted series as an instrument for pharmaceutical
expenditure. Our estimations show that GDP has a strong positive
impact on pharmaceutical spending with elasticity in excess of unity in countries
with low spending on pharmaceuticals and countries with large economic freedom.
In the second step, we find that when the quantitatively large reverse effect
of GDP is accounted for, public pharmaceutical spending has a negative effect
on GDP per capita particularly in countries with limited economic freedom.

Full textAbstract:
The essence of human rights and their dimension goes beyond national level. It is universal because it is inherent to human kind. The main source of human rights norms is international human rights instruments. The concern for human rights has grown worldwide and therefore they have been given priority by most nations. They are more and more integrated into national legal frameworks mainly in states constitutions with more or less enforcing mechanisms. As far as the realization of rights is concerned various mechanisms are involved on different levels: international, regional and national. Each of the three levels has its advantages and disadvantages. Yet, the local mechanisms appear to be more effective and adequate given the fact that they are closer to the real subject of the rights (the individuals). In point of fact, human rights involve mainly the relationships between individuals and states but sometimes also between individuals living somewhere in a nation.<br>Thesis (LLM (Human Rights and Democratisation in Africa)) -- University of Pretoria, 2011.<br>http://www.chr.up.ac.za/<br>nf2012<br>Centre for Human Rights<br>LLM

Previous issue date: 2003-10-30<br>The developed research focuse an analysis of the concepts that permeate the creation of the Rate of Urban Solid Residues. It detached the basic notions that permeate this theme, from the sustentability concept, as well as the technical variables and politics that involve the idea of the Environmental Rates. Due to the width of the theme and to the multiple variables that surround it, we based our research on two fronts: the theoretical, seeking to consider that several ideas and notions that permeate the theme; and other practice, that was the study of the experiences adopted in several municipal districts to carry out the Rate of Urban Solid Residues. We can highlight by those fronts that, in the theoretical part, we revised a vast bibliography regarding the economical instruments used for elaboration of public politics heading for the sustainable development; already in the practical part, we searched to establish some differences of adoption of these instruments and their juridical consequences of being implemented. Being like this, we can establish that the Rate of Urban Solid Residues is characterized as a necessary measure to set out the problems faced by the Municipal Public Powers with relationship to the produced garbage . However, for the complexity of the calculation base for collection, for the juridical aspects that orientate it and, why not to say, for the political difficulties to their implementation, it is necessary to go deeper into these studies, so that, through a deeper knowledge of the Theme, our Political Representatives as well as the technicians that elaborate the public politics can step in a less loamy soil, avoiding, thus, so many unnecessary wastes.<br>A pesquisa desenvolvida enfocou uma análise dos conceitos que permeiam a criação da Taxa de Resíduos Sólidos Urbanos. Destacou as noções básicas que permeiam este tema, desde o conceito de sustentabilidade, bem como as variáveis técnicas e políticas que envolvem a idéia das Taxas Ambientais. Devido à amplitude do tema e às múltiplas variáveis que o cercam, baseamos nossa pesquisa em duas frentes: uma teórica, visando conceituar as diversas idéias e noções que permeiam o tema; e outra prática, que foi o estudo das experiências adotadas em diversos municípios da implementação da Taxa de Resíduos Sólidos Urbanos. Podemos destacar mediante essas frentes que, na parte teórica, revisamos uma vasta bibliografia referente aos instrumentos econômicos utilizados para elaboração de políticas públicas rumo ao desenvolvimento sustentável; já na parte prática, buscamos estabelecer algumas diferenças de adoção destes instrumentos e suas conseqüências jurídicas de implementação. Sendo assim, podemos estabelecer que a Taxa de Resíduos Sólidos Urbanos se caracteriza como uma medida necessária para equacionar os problemas enfrentados pelos Poderes Públicos Municipais com relação ao lixo produzido. No entanto, pela complexidade da base de cálculo para cobrança, pelos aspectos jurídicos que a norteiam e, porque não dizer, pelas dificuldades políticas de sua implementação, torna-se necessário um aprofundamento destes estudos, para que, através de um conhecimento mais profundo do Tema, nossos Representantes Políticos bem como os técnicos que elaboram as políticas públicas possam pisar num solo menos argiloso, evitando, assim, tantos desgastes desnecessários.

Previous issue date: 2009-09-01<br>This thesis covered the influence of human rights in relation to the international treaties merged in the Brazilian law. For this to be achieved, the evolution of human rights was highlighted, as well as its importance and reflection in the national and international setting. In the Brazilian law, human rights are fundamental in a society that is considered impartial and is characterized by solidarity, being strictly defended by the Federal Constitution of 1988. In the international setting, this situation was not different. The human rights have been proved to be a powerful shaping instrument of the sovereign States, setting the limits and boundaries to be followed as the way of elevating the human being as the heart of the international legal system. Facing the importance and relevance of the international treaties, the conventional phenomenon and its integration in the domestic law have been studied. Therefore, the main concern of this project was to make evident the reflex of the defense of human rights in the analysis of relations between the international and domestic legal systems, emphasizing the existence of antimonies between them and also their solutions, especially those regarding the existing conflict between Brazil s Federal Republic Constitution of 1988 and the Pact San Jose of Costa Rica, concentrating on the possibility of civil arrest caused by indebtedness. This treaty was rightly validated in Brazil and it examines the human rights issue. Through a bibliographical research on this normative conflict, criteria were obtained in order to be used as a solution for the antinomy between the national law and the international treaty. The Constitution of 1988 acknowledges the hypothesis of civil arrest for the unfaithful trustee. However, the Pact of San Jose of Costa Rica does not grant it. The analysis of this conflict is highlighted by its solution achieved by specific criteria related to human rights, since the Pact of San Jose of Costa Rica is an international treaty that considers these rights, and that it has a distinctive judicial hierarchy granted by the Federal Constitution itself. The results and conclusions show that the procedure that favors the individual is the one that prevails, being this the international treaty, since it has been granted a constitutional hierarchy. However, this positioning deals with a divergence in its doctrine and legal system.<br>Esta dissertação abordou a influência dos direitos humanos frente aos tratados internacionais incorporados ao direito brasileiro. Para tanto, destacou a evolução dos direitos humanos, sua importância e reflexos no cenário nacional e internacional. No direito brasileiro, os direitos humanos são imperativos a uma sociedade justa e solidária, sendo defendidos a rigor na Constituição Federal de 1988. No cenário internacional, não aconteceu diferente. Os direitos humanos se mostram valoroso instrumento modelador dos Estados soberanos, impondo limites e parâmetros a serem seguidos, como forma de enaltecer o ser humano como cerne do ordenamento jurídico internacional. Face à importância e relevância dos tratados internacionais, estuda-se o que vem a ser esse fenômeno convencional e a sua integração no direito interno. A preocupação fundamental deste trabalho foi, portanto, evidenciar o reflexo da proteção dos direitos humanos quando da análise das relações entre os ordenamentos jurídicos internacionais e o interno, ressaltando, inclusive, a existência de antinomias entre esses diferentes ordenamentos e a forma de solução, principalmente quanto ao conflito existente entre a Constituição da República Federativa do Brasil de 1988 e o Pacto de San Jose da Costa Rica, especificamente quanto à possibilidade da prisão civil por dívidas, tratado esse devidamente ratificado pelo Brasil e que versa sobre direitos humanos. Através de uma pesquisa bibliográfica acerca do respectivo conflito normativo, obtiveram-se critérios a serem utilizados para solucionar a antinomia entre o direito nacional e o tratado internacional. A Constituição/88, por sua vez, admite a hipótese de prisão civil do depositário infiel, contudo, o Pacto de San Jose da Costa Rica não a contempla. A análise desse conflito tem como destaque a sua solução por meio de critérios específicos aos direitos humanos, uma vez que o Pacto de San Jose da Costa Rica por ser um tratado internacional que versa sobre esses direitos, possuiu hierarquia jurídica diferenciada conferida pela própria Constituição Federal. Os resultados e conclusões apontam para a prevalência da norma mais favorável ao indivíduo, qual seja a do tratado internacional, uma vez que lhe é conferida hierarquia constitucional. Esse posicionamento, contudo, enfrenta divergências na doutrina e jurisprudência.

Full textAbstract:
"The domestic courts have not been able to enforce international human rights in Mozambique and there are no institutions to address the concerns of victims of human rights abuses. A limited number of NGO's operating in the field of human rights play a role, which is not significant considering the number. Several factors, for example, the lack of knowledge of international human rights instruments by the people in charge of administration of justice such as judges, prosecutors, or even lawyers and legal assistants, may explain this. The present paper is an attempt to explore why the international human rights norms are not enforced in the Mozambican legal system; this will be done in a comparison with the situation [in] Ghana. ... This paper is structured in five chapters. Chapter one is the introductory chapter, it essentially introduces the topic, discusses the manner in which the research will be caried out, namely the methodological approach used, literature review, objectives of the study and its limitations, [and] last but not least, it outlines the research questions and the hypothesis. Chapter two gives the definitions of the main concepts used in this paper; it goes further in discussing the relationship between national law and international law focusing [on] the theories of monism and dualism. It also analyses the constitutional provisions dealing with international law in the Mozambican and Ghanaian legal order in the light of the monist and dualist theories. Chapter three discusses the sources of international human rights law and their implications [for] the enforcement of internationl human rights law in domestic courts. It goes further by discussing the principles governing domestic applicability of international human rights law and finally discusses the obstacles to the enforcement. Chapter four is the case study of this paper: it analyses how international human rights law is enforced by domestic courts in Mozambique and Ghana and several other aspects around the judiciary and the international human rights law training. Chapter five finally draws conclusions and gives recommendations on what should be done to ensure the enforcement of international human rights law in domestic courts." -- Introduction.<br>Thesis (LLM (Human Rights and Democratisation in Africa)) -- University of Pretoria, 2005.<br>Prepared under the supervision of Professor Kofi Quashigah at the Faculty of Law, University of Ghana<br>http://www.chr.up.ac.za/academic_pro/llm1/dissertations.html<br>Centre for Human Rights<br>LLM

Full textAbstract:
Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico<br>A violência doméstica não é um fenômeno novo e a que atinge o idoso é parte integrante deste fenômeno. Os dados sobre violência contra o idoso, entretanto, são escassos no Brasil. Contudo, para se realizar um estudo mais sistemático sobre magnitude, fatores de risco e cuidados às vítimas, torna-se necessária uma documentação sistemática e acurada dos
eventos relacionados aos fatores de risco, às situações envolvidas e consequências da violência. Esta tese procurou estudar alguns instrumentos específicos de avaliação de
violência doméstica contra o idoso existentes e conhecidos e adaptá-los ao contexto sócio cultural brasileiro, especificamente em idosos atendidos por Serviços de Saúde na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Outro objetivo desta tese foi inserir a avaliação da violência em um ambiente de avaliação funcional do paciente idoso, por motivos que não serão explicitados. O capítulo 1 concerne à apresentação da tese. O capítulo 2 oferece uma introdução a respeito do problema
de violência doméstica com um breve histórico do estudo da violência familiar e especificamente no indivíduo idoso. Fornece alguns dados de magnitude e de que forma a violência doméstica e suas consequências podem ser avaliadas no contexto da avaliação funcional do indivíduo idoso. Alguns conceitos e teorias sobre fatores de risco, causas e
métodos estruturados de avaliação são discutidos. Em seguida, o tema específico dos métodos estruturados de avaliação é pormenorizado em no capítulo 3, apresenta-se uma justificativa detalha para os estudos desenvolvidos para esta tese. O quarto capítulo apresenta os métodos utilizados para a produção dos três artigos que, no capítulo 5, são apresentados, na íntegra. No primeiro artigo descreve-se a revisão dos 17 instrumentos de risco de violência contra o idoso que foram encontrados a partir das bases de dados vasculhadas. Destes, somente a Conflicts Tactics Scale foi adaptadas para o Brasil, ainda que para o uso em um grupo etário mais jovem. O segundo artigo descreve as etapas de
equivalência da validade conceitual, semântica e de itens de um dos instrumentos escolhidos, especificamente, de avaliação do cuidador do sujeito idoso (Caregiver Abuse Screen CASE).
Foi possível estabelecer uma versão em português para o Brasil, mas resta a etapa de equivalência de mensuração deste instrumento. O terceiro artigo, por sua vez, se refere à adaptação transcultural envolvendo as etapas citadas no artigo anteriormente descrito acrescidas da avaliação de equivalência de mensuração do segundo instrumento escolhido, mais especificamente, de avaliação do indivíduo idoso (Hwalek & Sengstock Elder Abuse Screening Test H-S/EAST). À análise de fatores encontraram-se três dimensões, grosso modo em acordo com os autores do instrumento. Entretanto, os itens que carregaram em cada uma das dimensões divergiram, fornecendo interpretações distintas da análise original. Do mesmo modo, as análises de confiabilidade identificaram problemas. Ainda restam lacunas a serem preenchidas com estudos futuros para que o H-S/SEAT possa ser utilizado no Brasil sem restrições. O sexto e último capítulo da tese oferece uma discussão geral sobre a importância de instrumento válidos e confiáveis no âmbito da epidemiologia. Identifica, também, questões a serem ainda resolvidas sobre instrumentos de avaliação de violência doméstica no indivíduo idoso e, por fim, apresenta os desdobramentos em termos de estudos e projetos que se seguirão.<br>Domestic violence is not a recent phenomenon. Violence against the elderly, about which there are scarce data in Brazil, plays an important role in such phenomenon. An
accurate and systematic documentation is needed if one aims to set up research programs to explore risk factors, specific threshold situations, consequences, magnitude and care for the victims of violence. This thesis is concerned with the cross-cultural adaptation to the Brazilian culture of known elderly violence screening instruments. The specific target population consisted of elderly people living in the city of Rio de Janeiro. The secondary goal was to included such screening to functional evaluation of the elderly, for seasons that will be
exposed presently. Chapter 1 concerns the thesis presentation. Chapter II offers an introduction to the problem of domestic violence and explores the issue of elder abuse from a brief historical perspective, as well as showing some data regarding magnitude, risk factors and evaluation of elder abuse are shown. Chapter 3 offers a detailed justification for the studies that were developed for this thesis. In the Chapter 4 the methods for the conception of the three resulting studies are described. The three articles are shown in detail in Chapter 5. The first article reviews the international literature in search for screening instruments for violence in the elderly. Thirteen instruments were found but only the Conflict Tactics Scales had been adapted to the Brazilian culture, albeit for use in a younger age group. The second article describes the evaluation of concept, semantic and item equivalence of one chosen instrument that screens for violence from caregiver perspective (Caregiver Abuse Screen CASE). It was possible to establish a Brazilian version but there still remains the evaluation of a screening tool for the elderly, including measurement equivalence (Hwalek & Sengstock Elder Abuse Screening Test H-S/EAST). Roughly, three factors were found in accordance with the original description. However, there were discrepancies in the loadings of some items
to each factor which led to somewhat different interpretations from the original. In the same way, reliability analysis uncovered some problems that will have to be faced before the HS/EAST can be used in Brazil without restrictions. The sixth and last Chapter of thesis offers a general discussion on the importance of valid and reliable measurements in epidemiology and concludes with an overview of ensuing studies and projects.

Full textAbstract:
At the end of the sixteenth century, Simone Verovio printed a series of canzonetta anthologies in Rome. These collections were unique, in that they contained keyboard and lute intabulations alongside their vocal parts. The keyboard intabulations seem primarily intended as accompanimental parts. As such, they inform us about the use of keyboard instruments in ensembles of mixed voices and instruments. This thesis examines how the printing format of Verovio's keyboard intabulations arose from a larger context. In particular, it asks what were the skills and training of amateur keyboard players (often women), when or when not to transpose pieces with chiavette (or high clefs), and how instrumental embellishments relate to the canzonetta's text as well as musical texture. This examination contributes to a better understanding of Italian sixteenth-century performance practice, especially of the ways in which instruments were used along with voices in domestic music making.

Previous issue date: 2010-09-27<br>O trabalho teve como objetivo analisar o consórcio público como instrumento viável para a gestão dos resíduos sólidos urbanos, nos municípios de Tucuruí e Breu Branco, no Estado do Pará, através de revisão bibliográfica referente ao tema, análise de experiências de consórcios públicos contidas na literatura e de entrevistas semiestruturadas com representantes de consórcios públicos no Pará e técnicos da Secretaria Estadual (SEIR, SEGOV), além da aplicação de indicadores de sustentabilidade na avaliação da gestão atual de resíduos sólidos urbanos nos municípios estudados. Observou-se, através da aplicação da metodologia proposta, que, apesar das dificuldades apresentadas na formação de um consórcio público intermunicipal no Estado do Pará, tais como individualismo dos gestores públicos, capacidade de gestão e apoio (jurídico, técnico e financeiro) do ente Estadual na implantação de modelos de gestão associada para a prestação dos serviços públicos de interesse comum, o instrumento de consórcio público intermunicipal se apresenta viável para a gestão dos resíduos sólidos urbanos nos municípios estudados. Conclui-se que a gestão associada na gestão dos resíduos sólidos urbanos possibilita a minimização de riscos e impactos ambientais com a otimização do uso de áreas para a sua disposição final, assim como ganhos de escala de produção com racionalização de recursos financeiros, humanos e tecnológicos, visando ao aumento da eficiência no uso dos recursos públicos, capacidade de realização e prestação de serviço dos municípios paraenses na gestão dos resíduos sólidos urbanos.<br>This work aimed to analyze the public intermunicipal trust as a viable instrument from the urban solid waste management in the municipalities of Tucuruí and Breu Branco in the state of Pará, by means of literature review on the topic, analysis of public trusts experiences reported in literature and semistructured interviews with representers from public trusts in Pará and technicians from State Secretariat (SEIR,SEGOV) as well as the application of the sustainability indicators in evaluation of the current urban solid waste management in the cities studied. It was observed, by the proposed methodology, that, despite the difficulties presented in the formation of a public intermunicipal trust in Pará State, such as individualism of public managers, management ability and support (judicial, technical and financial) of the State entity on the implementation of management models associated to the execution of public services of mutual interest, the instrument of public intermunicipal trust seems to be feasible for the urban solid waste management in the cities studied. It can be concluded that the associated management in urban solid waste management allows the minimization of environmental risks and impacts with the optimization of the uses of areas for its final disposal, as well as the gains in production scale with the rationalization of financial, human and technological resources, aiming to increase efficiency in the use of public resources, ability to perform public service of municipalities from Pará in urban solid waste management.

Full textAbstract:
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior<br>A Conflict Tactics Scales: Parent-Child (CTSPC) é um instrumento concebido em inglês usado para identificar a violência contra a criança. Sua proposição original é composta de um módulo básico com três dimensões e estrutura de itens que se divide entre as escalas de Disciplina Não-Violenta, Agressão Psicológica e Agressão Física, sendo que esta inclui as escalas de Punição Corporal e de Mau-Trato Físico. Esta Tese tem como objetivo aprofundar a análise das características psicométricas no que concerne a adequação dimensional da versão em português da CTSPC, observando se os resultados convergem aos encontrados nos estudos pregressos, bem como se os resultados sugerem a necessidade de alguma modificação do instrumento. Os dados são provenientes de três estudos que tinham como objetivo geral identificar o uso de violência contra a criança por meio da CTSPC em três serviços de saúde. A estrutura dimensional do instrumento foi analisada utilizando Análise de Fatores Confirmatória (AFC) stricto sensu. Notou-se um ajuste relativamente bom com cargas, em geral, altas, em dois setores de saúde, mas a análise da validade discriminante aponta para evidências de uma possível estrutura dimensional de ordem superior ou que existe informação oriunda de itens de um fator para outro. Para avaliar a falta de especificação dimensional, uma extensa análise exploratória via Análise de Fatores Exploratória em uma estrutura Confirmatória (AFE/C) foi conduzida. O ajuste do modelo continuou bom, com cargas elevadas e uma queda substantiva das correlações fatoriais. Encontrou-se certa reordenação de itens, nos três setores de serviços de saúde. Ainda que tenha havido algumas cargas cruzadas foi possível identificar uma outra estrutura dimensional com itens de ordem psicológica carregando em blocos separados conjuntamente a itens físicos formando novas estruturas dimensionais e atos de violência hedionda que formam um fator separado. Esse padrão de itens, por dimensão, foi encontrado nos três sítios ainda que os itens não se comportem identicamente, de forma geral, apresentam um padrão coerente. O reordenamento dos itens pode ser interpretado como um novo padrão de domínios com atos de violência crescente. Ainda que a CTSPC capte a violência contra a criança, a estrutura dimensional postulada pelos autores do instrumento não pode ser corroborada. Essa não sustentabilidade da estrutura original da CTSPC parece apontar para novas dimensões. Mais estudos nessa direção necessitam ser realizados para que se encontre uma especificação de itens estável e condizente com essa aparente estrutura. A utilização da CTSPC como está merece cautela não podendo ser recomendada enquanto essa questão não for aprofundada. Diante disso, fica evidente que a linha de estudo em avaliação, desenvolvimento e adaptação transcultural da CTSPC para avaliar maus-tratos contra a criança ainda merece ser mais bem explorada. Os achados do presente estudo mostram a necessidade de rever a versão em português da CTSPC ou mesmo de investir na construção de um novo instrumento por meio da crítica guiada pelo debate contínuo entre profissionais interessados<br>The Conflict Tactics Scales: Parent-Child (CTSPC) is an instrument designed in English used to identify child abuse and negligence. Its original proposition consists of a basic module with three dimensions and the structure of items is divided in the following scales: Nonviolent Discipline; Psychological Aggression and Physical Aggression; and Corporal Punishment and Physical Maltreatment. This thesis aims at examining the psychometric characteristics regarding the dimensional adequacy of the Portuguese version of the CTSPC, and if the results converge to those found in previous studies and if they suggest the need for some modifications of the instrument. The data come from three studies that aimed at identifying the use of violence against children using CTSPC in three health services. The dimensional structure of the instrument was analyzed using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) in the strict sense. I feel a relatively good fit with loadings generally high, in two sectors of health, but the analysis of discriminant validity evidenced points to a possible higher order dimensional structure or that there is information from one item to another factor. To assess the lack of dimensional specification, an extensive exploratory analysis via Exploratory Factor Analysis in the CFA framework (E/CFA) was conducted. The model fit remained good, with high loadings and a substantial drop in correlation factor. Reordering items was suggested from the analysis of the three studies used in the present analysis. While there is some cross-loadings, one can identify another dimensional structure, in which items loading from psychological blocks grouping together to form new physical dimension and heinous acts of violence. This pattern of items was found in three studies although the items did not behave identically, but generally, presenting a coherent pattern. The reordering of the items can be interpreted as a new pattern in areas with growing violence. Although CTSPC may be capturing violence against children, the dimensional structure postulated by the authors of the instrument can not be corroborated. This non-sustainability of the original structure of CTSPC seems to point to new dimensions. More studies need to be made in this direction to search for a specification of items stable and consistent with this apparent structure. The use of CTSPC, as it is, deserves caution and its not being recommended until that question is fully explored. Therefore, it is evident that the line of study in evaluation, development and cultural adaptation of to assess CTSPC maltreatment of the child still deserves to be better explored. The findings of this study showed the need to review the Portuguese version of CTSPC or even invest in the construction of a new instrument through it to criticism guided by the ongoing debate among interested professionals

Full textAbstract:
Whether it is based on current emissions data or future projections of further growth, the building sector currently represent the largest and singular most important contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions globally. This notion is also supported by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change based on projection scenarios for 2030 that emissions from buildings will be responsible for about one-third of total global emissions. As such, improving the energy efficiency of buildings has become a top priority worldwide. A significant majority of buildings that exist now will still exist in 2030 and beyond; therefore the greatest energy savings and carbon footprint reductions can be made through retrofit of existing buildings. A wide range of retrofit options are readily available, but methods to identify optimal solutions for a particular abatement project still constitute a major technical challenge. Investments in building energy retrofit technologies usually involve decision-making processes targeted at reducing operational energy consumption and maintenance bills. For this reason, retrofit decisions by building stakeholders are typically driven by financial considerations. However, recent trends towards environmentally conscious and resource-efficient design and retrofit have focused on the environmental merits of these options, emphasising a lifecycle approach to emissions reduction. Retrofit options available for energy savings have different performance characteristics and building stakeholders are required to establish an optimal solution, where competing objectives such as financial costs, energy consumption and environmental performance are taken into account. These key performance parameters cannot be easily quantified and compared by building stakeholders since they lack the resources to perform an effective decision analysis. In part, this is due to the inadequacy of existing methods to assess and compare performance indicators. Current methods to quantify these parameters are considered in isolation when making decisions about energy conservation in buildings. To effectively manage the reduction of lifecycle environmental impacts, it is necessary to link financial cost with both operational and embodied emissions. This thesis presents a novel deterministic decision support system (DSS) for the evaluation of economically and environmentally optimal retrofit of non-domestic buildings. The DSS integrates the key variables of economic and net environmental benefits to produce optimal decisions. These variables are used within an optimisation scheme that consists of integrated modules for data input, sensitivity analysis and takes into account the use of a set of retrofit options that satisfies a range of criteria (environmental, demand, cost and resource constraints); hierarchical course of action; and the evaluations of ‘best’ case scenario based on marginal abatement cost methods and Pareto optimisation. The steps involved in the system development are presented and its usefulness is evaluated using case study applications. The results of the applications are analysed and presented, verifying the feasibility of the DSS, whilst encouraging further improvements and extensions. The usefulness of the DSS as a tool for policy formulation and developments that can trigger innovations in retrofit product development processes and sustainable business models are also discussed. The methodology developed provides stakeholders with an efficient and reliable decision process that is informed by both environmental and financial considerations. Overall, the development of the DSS which takes a whole-life CO2 emission accounting framework and an economic assessment view-point, successfully demonstrates how value is delivered across different parts of the techno-economic system, especially as it pertains to financial gains, embodied and operational emissions reduction potential.

O gerenciamento de resíduos sólidos domiciliares, entre as muitas opções técnicas desenvolvidas, apresenta a coleta seletiva onde, através da conscientização prévia dos indivíduos envolvidos, permite a seleção e encaminhamento de diferentes materiais ao processo de reciclagem. Esta opção gerencial requer, no entanto, participação efetiva e consciente que, no presente estudo foi planejada e implantada junto ao ensino público fundamental, baseada na coleta de informação local (caracterização sócio, econômica e cultural relativa a resíduos sólidos domiciliares e caracterização física destes resíduos) e nos princípios da educação ambiental e dos 3R´s (redução, reutilização e reciclagem). Os resultados alcançados permitem avaliar positivamente a iniciativa de envolver, no programa de coleta seletiva, uma unidade escolar em sua totalidade de alunos, professores, direção e funcionários. O estudo permite concluir que a iniciativa, se monitorada, cria condições a médio longo prazo de auto gerenciamento do programa via proposta pedagógica e motivação pessoal dos indivíduos envolvidos.<br>Among many different techniques developed to manage and process domestic solid waste is the segregated waste collection, a process of sorting apart different materials to be sent to different recycling industries. However, this technique requires the active participation and awareness of all individuals involved in the process. In the present work, the collection program was developed based on information about the solid waste as well as cultural and socioeconomic characteristics of the local population generating it, and on Environmental Education and the 3Rs (reduce, reuse and recycle) principles. The program was implemented in Public Schools in such a way to get the publics effective and conscious participation in the recycling efforts. The positive results obtained from the initiative, which involved an entire school, students and staff alike, allow us to conclude that education as a tool for awareness and personal involvement of individuals, when well monitored, create, in a medium/long range, the conditions for self-management of the program.

"« Smart Beta » de troisième génération : Exposition indirecte pour biais d’investissement domestique. « Nouvelles perspectives sur la théorie de la diversification de portefeuille et sur le biais d’investissement domestique à la lumière de l’émergence des nouvelles technologies au sein des marchés financiers. »." Thesis, Université Côte d'Azur (ComUE), 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019AZUR0012.
Full textAbstract:
Le but de cette thèse en cinq chapitres est d’ouvrir de nouvelles perspectives autour de l’opposition qui existe entre la théorie de la diversification et le biais d’investissement domestique notamment pour les investisseurs Européens, Américains et Japonais. En effet, le développement des nouvelles technologies au sein des marchés financiers, a engendré, l’apparition de nouveaux types de produits : notamment les fonds indiciels cotés, qui permettent aux investisseurs d’accéder à une exposition indirecte dans leurs propres unités monétaires (Euro, Dollars et Yen) ou d’investir aisément dans n’importe quels secteurs ou classes d’actifs. L’arrivée de ces nouvelles technologies signe aussi l’émergence de nouvelles formes d’approches d’investissements basées sur des modèles algorithmiques automatisés nommés « Smart Beta ». A la lumière de ces innovations, ma thèse, ouvre de nouvelles perspectives sur le biais d’investissement domestique et pose certaines questions sur les approches classiques d’allocation internationales d’actifs. Le premier chapitre donne une vision globale de ma thèse. Le second tend à démontrer que sur les cinq grandes stratégies de « hedge funds », quatre sont accessibles de manière indirecte en utilisant une approche « Smart Beta » d’allocation d’actifs optimisée, composée de fonds indiciels cotés en Euro. Le troisième chapitre permet de montrer qu’il est possible d’atteindre des stratégies actions en Asie Pacifique de type « Momentum » en utilisant une allocation d’actifs composée de fonds indiciels uniquement cotés en Dollars permettant les mêmes rendements/risques sans aucun risque de change. Le quatrième chapitre, analyse la possibilité pour un investisseur Japonais d’atteindre de manière indirecte des expositions équivalente à des stratégies d’investissement internationale en matières premières en utilisant des fonds indiciels cotés en Yen. D’un point de vue scientifique, je contribue au développement des théories sur l’exposition indirecte des fonds indiciel côtés, en démontrant leurs utilités pour les allocations globales d’actifs. Mes résultats tendent aussi à démontrer que les investisseurs Européens, Américains et Japonais qui investissent seulement avec des produits financiers domestiques, ne perdent pas le bénéfice de la diversification internationale. Ma thèse ouvre aussi un nouvel aspect de la littérature sur les « smart beta » de troisième génération, permettant d’éviter le risque de change, en outrepassant le biais d’investissement domestique. Cette nouvelle approche factorielle permet aux investisseurs d’atteindre des expositions de stratégie « internationale active » dans leurs propres unités monétaires favorisant ainsi la diminution des biais cognitifs et comportementaux du biais d’investissement domestique. Le dernier chapitre offre une discussion générale autour de mes résultats ainsi qu’une conclusion finale. De plus chacun des chapitres contribue de manière spécifique à un thème scientifique donné. D’un point de vue méthodologique, différentes méthodes sont utilisées et combinées («data-driven », « optimization » et « heuristic ») pour créer des approches de type « Smart Beta ». Finalement, ma thèse ouvre de nouvelles questions par rapport à ces différents thèmes : est-ce que l’évolution des nouvelles technologies appliquée au marchés financiers diminue la valeur ajoutée de la diversification classique de portefeuille et tend à augmenter l’intégration financière mondiale ? Est-ce que ces nouveaux produits financiers ouvrent de nouvelles façons d’investir en améliorant l’accès à des stratégies d’investissement complexes ? Est-ce que ces nouveaux produits financiers permettent de trouver des solutions aux différents paradigmes de la finance comportementale ?<br>This five-chapter thesis provides new perspectives on diversification theory and the home-bias puzzle, which exists as an investment approach notably for European, American and Japanese investors. Indeed, information and communications technology (ICT) development has led to the emergence of new type of financial market product. Exchange-traded funds (ETF) allow investors to reach indirect exposure in their own currency (e.g. euro, U.S. dollars (USD) and yen) and invest in any sectors or asset classes. The ICT revolution has led to the emergence of new forms of algorithmic rules-based frameworks as investment approaches. One notable approach is called ‘smart beta’. In light of these, my thesis offers new insight about the home-bias puzzle and raises new questions about international investment approaches and global-asset allocations. Chapter I provides an overview of my thesis. My second chapter shows that a European investor who would like to attain ‘worldwide alternative investment exposure’ using a long-only optimised composition of euro liquid products can do it. Four out of the five most well-known worldwide alternative investment strategies are achievable through an optimised composition of ETFs denominated by euro. My third chapter shows that an American investor who would like to reach intermediate-term momentum exposure denominated by the South Korea won, Philippine peso, Indonesian rupiah, India rupiah, Australian dollars or New Zealand dollars can achieve the exact same risk/return characteristics using an optimised composition of USD ETFs. This implies that it is possible to reach an Asia–Pacific momentum factor without any exchange risk for an American investor. Finally, my fourth chapter analyses the possibility for a Japanese investor to reach ‘international commodities investment exposure’ with the same risk/return characteristics as a liquid yen product. From a scientific perspective, I first extend previous work about ETF indirect exposure and show the usefulness of ETFs in the global-asset allocation context. Second, I show that U.S., European and Japanese investors who invest only in domestically traded products do not have to lose the benefits of international diversification. Third, my thesis opens the door to third-generation smart-beta literature, explaining how to avoid exchange-rate risks and overcome the home-bias puzzle. This new ‘access factor’ approach allows investors to reach exposure in some international active investment strategies using their own currencies, allowing them to overcome the main cognitive and behavioural drivers of home-bias investing. The fifth chapter offers a final global discussion and a conclusion. Each chapter contributes to the scientific support of several specific topics. From a methodological perspective, different investment-strategy models (i.e. data-driven, optimisation and heuristic) are combined to reach the desired smart-beta exposure. Finally, my thesis asks new questions, such as ‘does ICT development and the new products coming with it on the financial markets (e.g. ETF, smart beta) tend to decrease the value added from classical diversification, and does it tend to increase financial integration?’ and ‘Do these new products create new investment approaches using an easy method to access complex investment strategies?’ ‘Do these new products overcome some of the behavioural finance paradigms?’

I will also report on the social worker's extent of action in relation to standardized assessment work. I will be describing the tool FREDA assessment methods and the other factors that influence the social worker's assessment. The purpose is also to be able to use the survey to investigate whether there is a connection between various factors such as the reliability of one's own assessment and one's own assessment linked to experience and education. To achieve the purpose, two questions were answered; whatdoes the social services assessment work look like with violence, especially when usingthe tool FREDA assessment methods? What factors besides standardized work affect the social worker's scope for assessment?For the thesis I have used a quantitative survey study based on a deductive approach. The survey consisted of 14 containing questions and was distributed via e-mail and Facebook.se for professional social workers who work with risk assessment of continued violence in close relation. In total, the questionnaire was sent to all 26 municipalities in Stockholm County, of which ten participate. They were distributed to 29 social secretaries. The survey was answered in itsentirety by the 32 social workers, where three came from unknown / unknown municipalities in Sweden. Using statistical analysis and graphs, the results have been compiled and two different cross tables have been designed to investigate relationship analysis. The survey achieved 86% answered questions in its entirety. The results have been analyzed on the base of knowledge, previous research and Lipsky's theory of grassroots bureaucracy. The result shows that most of the social workers agree that there are several factors besides assessment instruments that affect risk assessment. The study concludes that the majority of social secretaries choose to use individual assessment with the aid of the tool FREDA assessment methods, and that there is a discussion that the factors of experience and education / further education are the basis for the individual assessment.

"The enjoyment of all human rights by all persons is the ultimate horizon of democracy. It is generally admitted that democratic societies are less likely to violate human rights. The good human rights records of these societies can be justified, among others, by the promotion of a strong legal culture, which provides procedural avenues for allocating responsibility for human rights violations. Thus, the protection of human rights follows from the functions of law in society, and the nature of human rights claims. At the national level, human rights are protected by both domestic and international mechanisms. Therefore, the human rights claims should be based on violations of either domestic law or relevant provisions of operational international human rights instruments. However, most of the time this is not the case, especially in Africa. Many African states have ratified several international human rights instruments, but the record of the way the latter are applied in their respective judicial systems remains very poor. This study aims to analyse the case of Burundi, one of these state whose judicial system only rarely applies international human rights instruments in spite of the importance devoted to them by the Constitution. It must be understood that international human rights as a source of law will be referred to, in this study, both as a source of rights and as a source of interpretation of domestic human righs instruments such as the Bill of Rights. ... Chapter one will set out the content of the research, identify the problem and outline the methodology. Chapter two will focus on the status of international law in domestic legal systems. It will highlight the theories that have been used to determine the relationship between international and domestic law in general. Chapter three will analyse on basis of some samples of cases how the Burundian courts interpret and apply international human rights instruments.

You will find an essay that shows an interest to assimilate, in which way and in
what extent, the house becomes an important disciplinary instrument to give an
opportunity to the institutional bodies to create a society that conveniently serves
their main purposes only by handling the dwellers's behaviors. It entends to analyze
judiously what were the effects that domestic environments come to produce on
the dwellers's behaviours or speeches and to enounce which were the architectural
mechanisms that caused the same effects, in an attempt to shows us how the
domestic converted itself in a disciplinary instrument highly convenient to the
institutional bodies of the moment causes's.
We will dismantle the most important national housing policies that were built
during the twentieth century in several disciplinary units that allow us to order
the way how the system was assembled in a relatively coherent structure. We will
analyze, at first, which were the necessary administrative mecanisms procedures
that mantain the housing policies in operation that actually conditioned the way
how dwellers would behave to analyze, à posteriori, the architectural techniques of a
neighborhoods' sample that shows clearly how housing policies materialized their
intention. We will understand which were the thoughts that convinced dwellers to
change their behavior and which were the spatial mechanisms that truly conditioned
them.
We will enounce which were the eventual consequences with an important
economic or political convenience that came to be noticed in the dwellers's
behaviors and that motivated the institutional bodies to create judiously the housing
policies or even the neighborhoods. There will be necessary, in the last moment,
to question the moment in which the dwellers revealed a spontaneous wish to
consume a series of equipment that would improve the domestic functioning under
their responsibility and in which the dwellers effectively reorder their domestic
behaviors in an highly productive mechanics, where the immense daily needs
would be resolved in an efficient way. We will enounce how the dwellers came to
condition their behavior in a conduct of enormous convenience to the functioning
of a reordered society according to the institutional bodies's intentions, without ever
understanding disciplinary speech that Giorgio Agambem enunciated in "What is an
Apparatus?".

You will find an essay that shows an interest to assimilate, in which way and in
what extent, the house becomes an important disciplinary instrument to give an
opportunity to the institutional bodies to create a society that conveniently serves
their main purposes only by handling the dwellers's behaviors. It entends to analyze
judiously what were the effects that domestic environments come to produce on
the dwellers's behaviours or speeches and to enounce which were the architectural
mechanisms that caused the same effects, in an attempt to shows us how the
domestic converted itself in a disciplinary instrument highly convenient to the
institutional bodies of the moment causes's.
We will dismantle the most important national housing policies that were built
during the twentieth century in several disciplinary units that allow us to order
the way how the system was assembled in a relatively coherent structure. We will
analyze, at first, which were the necessary administrative mecanisms procedures
that mantain the housing policies in operation that actually conditioned the way
how dwellers would behave to analyze, à posteriori, the architectural techniques of a
neighborhoods' sample that shows clearly how housing policies materialized their
intention. We will understand which were the thoughts that convinced dwellers to
change their behavior and which were the spatial mechanisms that truly conditioned
them.
We will enounce which were the eventual consequences with an important
economic or political convenience that came to be noticed in the dwellers's
behaviors and that motivated the institutional bodies to create judiously the housing
policies or even the neighborhoods. There will be necessary, in the last moment,
to question the moment in which the dwellers revealed a spontaneous wish to
consume a series of equipment that would improve the domestic functioning under
their responsibility and in which the dwellers effectively reorder their domestic
behaviors in an highly productive mechanics, where the immense daily needs
would be resolved in an efficient way. We will enounce how the dwellers came to
condition their behavior in a conduct of enormous convenience to the functioning
of a reordered society according to the institutional bodies's intentions, without ever
understanding disciplinary speech that Giorgio Agambem enunciated in "What is an
Apparatus?".
"There is a set of beliefs, rules and rituals that, in a given society and at a certain
historical moment, were imposed externally on individuals. (...) It implies feelings
that are more or less inscribed in the soul (...) that reveal the effect of command and
the result of obedience..."

Full textAbstract:
'Gala' is an apple cultivar with a distinctive aroma and flavor. 'Gala' storage season is short in regular atmosphere (RA). Controlled atmosphere (CA) extends 'Gala' storage but volatile production is reduced. 'Gala' odor-active aroma compounds were identified using Osme, a gas chromatography and olfactometry technique. Changes in aroma after RA and CA storage were characterized by Osme and descriptive sensory analysis (DSA).
Hexyl acetate, butyl acetate and 2-methylbutyl acetate were emitted in the largest amounts and were perceived with the strongest intensities, with "ripe apple", "solvent" and "fruity" descriptors. Production of hexyl acetate and butyl acetate after CA storage decreased significantly compared to apples stored in RA, along with perceived intensities. 2-Methylbutyl acetate only decreased in apples stored 20 weeks in CA. Other esters with an apple odor were butyl 2-methylbutyrate and hexyl 2-methylbutyrate.
Methyl 2-methylbutyrate, ethyl 2-methylbutyrate and propyl 2-methylbutyrate had sweet, fruity, and berry-like odors. Ester production after CA storage decreased at different rates. The non-ester compounds 4-allylanisole (anise) and 0-damascenone (grape juice) as well as an unidentified compound (watermelon), were perceived mostly from RA stored fruit. Other unidentified peaks had cucumber, mushroom, adhesive tape or skunk odors.
Comparison of mixtures of 'Gala' odor-active compounds in water with whole 'Gala' apples revealed that hexyl acetate, hexanal and butyl acetate were necessary to impart an apple odor. 2-Methylbutyl acetate and methyl 2-methylbutyrate also contributed to the least difference between mixture solutions and apples.
DSA of 'Gala' apples stored in RA and CA confirmed the general decrease in fruity aroma following CA storage. A floral descriptor was also significantly affected by CA storage. A musty note appeared in CA stored fruit, which may have corresponded to a garlic odorant peak detected during Osme. 'Gala' apples stored 16 weeks in CA followed by 4 weeks in RA emitted more volatiles than fruit stored 20 weeks in CA. The difference in volatile production was perceived by Osme analysis, and differences in overall fruity aroma between 16 and 20 weeks CA stored fruit were perceived only for whole fruit. There was no difference between those two types of storage for fruit flavor.<br>Graduation date: 1998

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立臺北大學<br>會計學系<br>93<br>IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” was issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), initiated major changes in its previous accounting concepts on a historical-cost accounting basis to result in the financial instruments that shall be measured at fair value instead. In response to the trend of globalization of financial services and become part of the worldwide trend of development, the Accounting research and development foundation had prescribed that Accounting Treatment of the Financial Products of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.34, taking into consideration the IAS 39, and shall be applicable for annual periods after 1 January 2006. Since the IAS 39 requires that most financial assets and financial liabilities should be measured at fair value, is expected to exert a powerful influence over various enterprises, among which Financial/Insurance Enterprises facilitated to process the dealing of more financial products could be suffered the greatest impacts. With that sorts of conflicts might arise after implementation, the Taiwan government has established the “ Fair Value Accounting Initiative ” to be responsible for conducting a full-scale research program, and to prepare other necessary complementary measures in order to reduce its adverse impacts effectively. Hence, this research aims to analyze factors relating to the loss/profit of Life Insurance Business in Taiwan for developing the Accounting Treatment of the Financial Products.
The Taiwanese Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 34 referred to the IAS 39 were enacted in 2003. Because the IAS 39 comes up with further, more amendments, the material discrepancy between the two Standards is being enhanced gradually. Considering the discrepancy, the Accounting research and development foundation started to take action to revise the Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 34. This study conducts an analysis of the content of financial statements prepared by foreign famous companies (to use the insurance industry as example) after the enforcement of the new standards, based on the amendment to the Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation of Financial Accounting Standards No.34 and No.36, provides it to the No. 1 and No. 2 listed companies in the insurance business of Taiwan for purposes of responding to occurrences at home so as to serve as a reference for accounting treatment, and to extend and research current consciousness and concepts of risk by using the principle of fair value accounting for evaluation.
From this study we discover that fund utilization matters in the insurance business at home and abroad are approximately identical. However, due to differences of the investment environment and considerable discrepancy of the market volatility, every domestic and foreign company has different measures to be taken in response. With the coming of the international trend, how to reach the balance of today’s domestic and international situations in financial products classification, particularly those classifying the bond investment, are the most desired expectation and consideration in domestic life insurance companies. Furthermore, the companies begin to think over that the ROI is not the only indicator for performance measures, shall also consider the risks associated with any investment, thus, under the fair value method, which help the companies to achieve a successful, sustainable business operation and management.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>淡江大學<br>管理科學研究所企業經營碩士在職專班<br>93<br>This thesis is initiated by the researcher’s interest, based on his education and career background, in the development trend of the medical instrument industry in Taiwan and the importance of channels in this industry. There are four objectives in this thesis:
1. To conduct a business analysis for electro-medical instrument companies as a basis for further investigation of their operation model strategy.
2. To investigate the critical considerations by local medical instrument companies in deciding their channel strategies.
3. To study the difference among local medical instrument companies in terms of channeling and the reasons behind it.
4. To explore the possibility of an optimal channel strategy for local medical instrument industry.
This thesis presents the following features:
1. Global perspective: it recognizes the world-wide expansion potential for Taiwanese electro-medical instrument companies.
2. Practical approach: presenting the real operation practice of outstanding players.
3. Focus: it studies the channel strategy model for local medical instrument industry.
This research adopts case study approach and MERSI management skills as the research framework. Six conclusions have been formulated in this thesis:
1. Difference in operation model has a significant influence on the channel models of the subject companies in domestic market.
2. The channel structure of each of the six subject companies, formed as a result of its operation model and the “five major elements of channel decision”, differs from one another.
3. There are similarities as well as difference among subject companies.
4. The critical factors for channel strategy are: market needs, product characteristics, distributors, capability of the companies, and industry environment. The five factors may take different importance or different priority in the decision making process.
5. The channel structure of the six subject companies can be grouped into two major types.
6. This research finds that the channel strategy model is, to some extent, different in every subject company from others. Therefore no simple conclusion can be made on a set of general rules for establishing an optimal channel strategy model. However the structure of this research can be used as a basis for the companies in constructing their channel strategy.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>亞洲大學<br>財務金融學系碩士班<br>99<br>The Financial Accounting Standard Board in Taiwan issued the Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 34 and No. 36. These statements specify that for the hedged item to be highly effective in offsetting the designated risk exposure, it should be supported by documents from statistical or other means of analyses. We study investigates the relationship between the profitability and the usage of derivatives of domestic banks and foreign bank in 2008 to 2010. The derivatives are categorized into two types, one is for trading and the other is for non-trading purposes. In the analysis on the domestic banks categorized into financial holding companies banks and non-financial holding banks, we use the two-stage least square (2SLS) as the main tool of analysis. The result indicates that commitment of banks for non-trading derivatives earnings volatility will result in significant negative impact.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立臺灣大學<br>臺大-復旦EMBA境外專班<br>105<br>The medical device industry is an important building block of Chinese healthcare system. China has a large population base and a similar demand for medical devices. Since twenty-first century, China''s medical device industry has achieved sustained high growth along with the rapid development of social economy, the improvements of medical technology and the growing awareness of national health. In 2015, the total market size exceeded 300 billion RMB, with the average annual growth rate of more than 20%. However, due to the late start of the medical device industry, lagging behind regulatory policy, and weak technical basis of related industries, China''s medical device industry still faces strong headwinds, such as low industrial concentration, small-scale and weak innovation ability of medical device companies. Both domestic production and export volume of high-end medical equipment and implantable medical devices are still at a very low level.
In today''s ever-changing technological environment and fierce global competition, China''s medical device manufacturers face tremendous competitive pressure from both domestic and international fronts. Under such circumstances, China''s medical device manufacturers need to firmly grasp the trend of the industry, exploit their own strengths and avoid weaknesses to cultivate core competencies to generate an efficient, balanced, benign and innovative development path.
This thesis intends to employ a core competency based SWOT analysis to study the critical aspects of competencies and propose future initiatives to the Chinese medical device industry as exemplified by the e-business practices of Shanghai Shuangshen Medical Instrument Co., Ltd. The thesis is divided into five chapters.
The first chapter, the introduction, mainly describes the research background, the research content and the research methods, and briefly introduces the research conclusion.
The second chapter focuses on the market capacity, technology development trends, policy environment, and competitive pattern in Chinese implantable medical device industry.
In the third chapter, the development history and business status of Shuangshen are introduced, and the external environment and internal capacity of Shuangshen Medical Instrument Co., Ltd. are analyzed through the SWOT model. Then according to the framework of core competence theory and value demand of end-users of implantable medical devices, the constituent elements of core competencies of Shuangshen are identified and evaluated.
In the fourth chapter, on the basis of the above analysis, a long-term strategic objective of Shuangshen is developed, and the strategic measures of the Shuangshen to build the core competencies are explored.
We provide the summary or the main research conclusions in the fifth chapter.
