Abstract:
The present dissertation focuses on the impact of the adoption of common European currency on trade of the eurozone countries. There have been several studies published on the subject of the possible euro's pro-trade impact on economies of the first eurozone participants, most of those studies use sample periods prior to 2003. This thesis contributes to the literature by adding six more years of eurozone data to 2011, capturing two further enlargements of the European Union and four eurozone expansions. The results of the models estimate the effect of common currency on trade to be insignificant. On the other hand, membership in the European Union proved to have significant and important trade enhancing effect of 13 % - 25 %.

Abstract:
The Swedish policy for integration has been accused of wrongly targeting only immigrants and therefore resembling assimilation. In this bachelor thesis I show that there seems to be a general understanding between academics and politicians of how integration should be achieved. If integration is the opposite of assimilation an integrated society has to be achieved trough mutual adaptation. The purpose of this thesis is to identify if the Swedish government design their policy for integration according to the idea of integration as mutual adaptation or not. A frame analysis is used to identify the de target populations in the Swedish strategy for integration. Through analysing the choice of target populations I conclude that the Swedish policy for integration does not fulfil the idea of integration as mutual adaptation. Another important conclusion is that there can be two different target populations for every policy, one tied to the causal story and one tied to the solution of the problem with integration.<br>Den svenska integrationspolitiken har anklagats för att felaktigt riktas mot endast invandrare och på så sätt mer likna assimilationspolitik. I den här kandidatuppsatsen visar jag att forskare och politiker på en övergripande nivå verkar vara överens om hur integration bör uppnås. Om integration är motsatsen till assimilation måste ett integrerat samhälle uppnås genom ömsesidig anpassning. Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att ta reda på om den svenska regeringen utformar sin integrationspolitik efter idén om integration som ömsesidig anpassning eller inte. Frameanalys används för att identifiera målgrupperna i den svenska strategin för integration. Genom att analysera valet av målgrupper drar jag slutsatsen att den svenska integrationspolitiken inte uppfyller idéen om integration som ömsesidig anpassning. En annan viktig slutsats är att det kan finnas två målgrupper för varje åtgärd, en knuten till orsaksförklaringen och en knuten till lösningen på problemet.

Abstract:
This thesis investigates financial integration, market efficiency, and financial contagion in frontier markets in order to evaluate the potentiality of portfolio diversification. The first essay evaluates Asian frontier and emerging equity markets’ regional and global integration using Gregory and Hansen co-integration tests and detrended cross correlation analysis (DCCA). The results suggest that Asian emerging markets show some evidence of integration with both regional and global markets. From Asian frontier markets, Pakistan is the only one with evidence of integration with both benchmarks. The second essay appraises weak form efficiency of frontier markets to investigate the global correlation and long-range dependence, applying mutual information and Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA). The results indicate that Slovenia is the only case where there is evidence compatible with weak form efficiency. The third essay investigates contagion from the US subprime financial crisis to frontier stock markets using Copula models to investigate dependence structures between US and frontier stock markets, before and during US subprime financial crisis. The results show that Croatia and Romania are the ones, most affected by the US subprime crisis. Subsequently, the forth essay investigates the contagion from both recent crises; US subprime financial crisis and European debt crisis to frontier stock market, applying DCCA correlation coefficients to investigate the linkage between crisis originating country stock markets (US and Greece) and those of frontier markets, to assess whether the correlation coefficients significantly increase with the crises. The results indicate that from US subprime crisis, European frontier markets are the ones most affected, followed by Middle Eastern markets. In case of European debt crisis (originated in Greece), the findings show that contagion effect is weaker in frontier markets; Ensaios sobre Mercados de Fronteira: Integração Financeira, Eficiência de Mercados, Contágio Financeiro Sumário: Esta tese investiga a integração financeira, eficiência de mercado e contágio financeiro nos chamados “mercados de fronteira”, a fim de avaliar o respetivo potencial de diversificação internacional de carteiras. O primeiro ensaio avalia a integração regional e global dos mercados de capitais emergentes e globais Asiáticos, sendo utilizados o teste de cointegração de Gregory e Hansen e a detrended cross correlation analysis (DCCA). Os resultados sugerem que os mercados emergentes asiáticos mostram algumas evidências de integração com os mercados regional e global. Dos mercados de fronteira asiática, o Paquistão é o único com evidências de integração com os dois benchmarks. O segundo ensaio avalia a eficiência da forma fraca dos mercados de fronteira para investigar a correlação global e a dependência longa, aplicando a informação mútua e a Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA). Os resultados indicam que a Eslovénia é o único caso em que há evidências compatíveis com a hipótese d eficiência na forma fraca. O terceiro ensaio investiga o contágio da crise financeira subprime dos EUA para os mercados de fronteira, sendo usados modelos Copula para investigar as estruturas de dependência entre os mercados de ações dos EUA e os mercados de fronteira, antes e durante a crise financeira dos Estados Unidos. Os resultados mostram que a Croácia e a Roménia são os mercados mais afetados pela crise do subprime dos EUA. Posteriormente, o quarto ensaio investiga o contágio de ambas as crises recentes; crise financeira subprime dos EUA e crise da dívida europeia para os mercados de fronteira, aplicando coeficientes de correlação DCCA para investigar a ligação entre os mercados de ações de países EUA e Grécia e mercados de fronteira. Os resultados indicam que, relativamente à crise do subprime nos EUA, os mercados de fronteira europeus são os mais afetados, seguidos pelos mercados do Médio Oriente. Relativamente à crise da dívida soberana (originada na Grécia), os resultados mostram que o efeito de contágio é menor nos mercados de fronteira analisados.

Abstract:
La investigació ha posat de manifest que les iniciatives d'integració de treball i vida personal tenen efectes positius sobre la conciliació i sobre el benestar general dels empleats quan, a més del suport estructural, es tenen en compte altres variables. La cultura organitzacional ha estat identificada com un d'aquests factors clau per a la conciliació efectiva de treball i vida personal. Però per si sola aquesta variable cultural no dóna compte de la diversitat d'experiències de conciliació treball- vida a les organitzacions. Aquesta tesi parteix d'una constatació i d'una sospita: D'una banda, es basa en l'observació de l'existència de subgrups diferenciats dins d'una mateixa organització que poden adoptar posicions diferents pel que fa a determinats valors de la cultura general de l'organització. Per altra, s'inspira en la sospita que les subcultures organitzacionals són la dimensió oculta que permet explicar aquella multiplicitat d'experiències pel que fa a la conciliació. Se suposa que el nivell de suport a la integració de treball i vida personal varia entre subcultures, influint en la conciliació. Des d'un enfocament multinivell (organitzacional, interindividual i individual), s'ha estudiat el paper de les subcultures en la conciliació dels empleats de la seu central i de diverses delegacions d'una empresa espanyola del sector de les assegurances, que gestiona contingències d'accidents de treball i malalties professionals. Es van utilitzar diverses tècniques qualitatives de col · lecció de dades: recerca documental, grup de discussió (amb l'equip de recursos humans), 44 entrevistes semiestructurades en profunditat i observacions de camp. Els resultats mostren com els individus construeixen les seves experiències d'integració de vida laboral i personal dins de les subcultures i influenciats a més per factors contextuals macroeconòmics i legals. El model conceptual construït mitjançant la integració dels resultats posa de manifest que la subcultura organitzacional va tenir el major impacte en l'experiència de conciliació, en la consegüent gestió dels límits entre diferents facetes de la vida i en les estratègies d'afrontament utilitzades. Diversos nivells de context s'afegeixen a la complexitat dels fenòmens estudiats. El context nacional amb els seus supòsits bàsics, que abasten la ideologia del treball i la visió de gènere sobre la conciliació, van influir en les '"opcions" que tenien els empleats al voltant de la integració de la vida amb el treball. Així mateix, els contextos macro econòmics i jurídics i les característiques del treball van ser els factors contextuals que van orientar addicionalment les decisions dels individus. Els supervisors i companys de treball van tenir una influència directa en la integració de la vida laboral i personal, ja que van promoure els supòsits subculturals subjacents, influint en les estratègies dels individus mitjançant el nivell del suport mostrat i els permisos concedits. El nivell d'interdependència laboral i la possibilitat de coincidir durant les hores de treball van facilitar també les conductes de suport i les seves contràries exhibides pels supervisors i col · legues, posant en evidència la importància de les variables professionals i contextuals en l'estudi de la conciliació. Finalment, les persones van descriure la seva integració de treball- vida en funció de diversos nivells de context. D’aquesta manera, l'estudi de les subcultures i l'enfocament de múltiples nivells van permetre descobrir, més enllà de la resiliència individual i de l'avaluació positiva, barreres existents per a la integració de la vida laboral i personal en diferents nivells, aportant suggeriments per a futures investigacions i intervencions.<br>La investigación ha puesto de manifiesto que las iniciativas de integración de trabajo y vida personal tienen efectos positivos sobre la conciliación y sobre el bienestar general de los empleados cuando, además del apoyo estructural, se tienen en cuenta otras variables.

El contexto nacional con sus supuestos básicos, que abarcan la ideología del trabajo y la visión de género sobre la conciliación, influyeron en las '"opciones" que tenían los empleados en torno a la integración de la vida con el trabajo. Asimismo, los contextos macro económicos y jurídicos y las características del trabajo fueron los factores contextuales que orientaron adicionalmente las decisiones de los individuos. Los supervisores y compañeros de trabajo tuvieron una influencia directa en la integración de la vida laboral y personal, ya que promovieron los supuestos subculturales subyacentes, influyendo en las estrategias de los individuos mediante el nivel del apoyo mostrado y los permisos concedidos. El nivel de interdependencia laboral y la posibilidad de coincidir durante las horas de trabajo, facilitaron también las conductas de apoyo y sus contrarias exhibidas por los supervisores y colegas, poniendo en evidencia la importancia de las variables profesionales y contextuales en el estudio de la conciliación. Finalmente, las personas describieron su integración de trabajo-vida en función de diversos niveles de contexto. De este modo, el estudio de las subculturas y el enfoque de múltiples niveles permitió descubrir, más allá de la resiliencia individual y de la evaluación positiva, barreras existentes para la integración de la vida laboral y personal en diferentes niveles, aportando sugerencias para futuras investigaciones e intervenciones.<br>Research in the work-life field has shown that work-life initiatives positively affect employees’ integration attempts and overall well-being, when other variables, beyond structural support, are considered. Culture has been identified as a key factor for employees’ work-life integration. However, even with organizational culture considered, research still falls short on being able to explain the variance in the experience of work-life balance in organizations. This thesis combines a confirmatory and exploratory approach. On one hand, it is known that within one organization there can exist various subgroups that share the same values and behaviors, which can differ or even oppose the organizational culture. On the other hand, we suspect that organizational subcultures are the missing dimension that allows understanding the vast array of work-life experiences. We suppose that the level of work-life support can vary within subcultures and thus influence employees’ work-life integration. This thesis adopted a multi-level approach (organizational, interindividual and individual) to study the role of subcultures in employees’ work-life balance in the headquarters and various branches of an insurance non-profit Spanish organization, administrating contingencies of work-related accidents and illnesses. Multiple sources of data collection were used to compile evidence, including archival research, a focus group (with the HR team), 44 in-depth semi-structured interviews and field observations. The results show how individuals construct their work-life integration experiences within subcultures, also when influenced by different contextual macroeconomic and legal factors. The conceptual model constructed through the integration of these results shows that the immediate subculture had the strongest impact on the work-life experience and consequent boundary management and coping strategies used. Various layers of context added to the complexity of the studied phenomenon. National context with its assumptions, encompassing the ideology of work and the gendered view of work-life issues, affected employees’ “choices” around work-life integration. The macro economic and legal contexts and job characteristics represented the contextual factors that further directed individuals’ decisions. Supervisors and colleagues had a direct influence on work-life integration as they enacted the existing subcultural assumptions, directing individuals’ work-life strategies by their supportive behaviors and allowance decisions. The level of job interdependence and possibility to coincide during working hours, further influenced supportive and unsupportive behaviours exhibited by supervisor and colleagues, emphasizing the importance of occupational and other contextual variables, when studying work-life issues. Finally, individuals described their experience of work-life integration in function of multiple layers of context. This way, additionally to individual resilience and positive assessment, the study of subcultures and the multi-layered approach allowed uncovering existing barriers for work-life integration at different levels, providing suggestions for future research and practice.

Abstract:
Le contentieux du mandat d’arrêt européen offre un éclairage sur la conciliation entre le respect des droits fondamentaux et l’effectivité de l’outil de coopération pénale européenne par la Cour de justice de l’Union européenne. L’articulation de ces impératifs contradictoires, néanmoins caractéristiques de la coopération pénale européenne, révèle les résistances à l’émergence d’un espace pénal européen. Après avoir opéré un premier travail de conciliation des intérêts en présence, la Cour devra dépasser ces contradictions pour mettre ce contentieux au service du processus d’intégration pénale européenne. Dans un contexte de crise des valeurs, ce contentieux, tantôt outil de résistance tantôt matériau résilient à la construction d’une Europe pénale, confère au juge un rôle déterminant dans la conduite de la politique pénale européenne. En effet, en répondant aux velléités souverainistes au moyen des principes de reconnaissance mutuelle et de confiance mutuelle, il contribue à la réalisation de l’objectif de rapprochement des législations pénales nationales imposé par les Traités. Le juge participe également au renforcement de la protection des droits fondamentaux par l’Union européenne et cristallise les prémices d’une harmonisation pénale européenne<br>The litigation of the European arrest warrant sheds light on the reconciliation between respect for fundamental rights and the effectiveness of the European criminal cooperation instrument by the Court of Justice of the European Union. The articulation of these contradictory imperatives, which are nevertheless characteristic of European criminal cooperation, reveals resistance to the emergence of a European criminal area. After having carried out an initial work of reconciling the interests involved, the Court will have to overcome these contradictions in order to put this litigation at the service of the European criminal integration process. In a context of a crisis of values, this litigation, sometimes a tool of resistance and sometimes a resilient material for the construction of a criminal Europe, gives the judge a decisive role in the conduct of European criminal policy. Indeed, by responding to sovereignist impulses through the principles of mutual recognition and mutual trust, it contributes to the achievement of the objective of approximating national criminal legislation imposed by the Treaties. The judge also contributes to the strengthening of the protection of fundamental rights by the European Union and crystallizes the foundations of European criminal harmonisation

Abstract:
Los sensores M/NEMS resonantes, gracias a su pequeño tamaño, a su bajo consumo y a su carácter quasi-digital (siendo generalmente la señal de salida un tono frecuencial), se han convertido en herramientas muy usadas en sistemas embebidos portátiles y de a bordo tales como en telefonía móvil (es decir, en smartphones) o en la industria aeroespacial. Sin embargo, dichos sensores sufren desajustes provenientes de perturbaciones del entono que les rodea y, a pesar de la posibilidad de disminuir tales efectos mediante el uso de diferentes técnicas, en según qué escenarios, es imperativo el uso de arquitecturas diferenciales para remover tales desajustes y así asegurar un correcto y fiable funcionamiento incluso en los entornos más severos en cuanto a perturbaciones. En esta tesis se estudia una novedosa técnica de medida diferencial, que consiste en sincronizar dos resonadores, uno siendo una referencia y el otro actuando como sensor. Ambos resonadores oscilan a la misma frecuencia estando en un mismo lazo realimentado. Cuando se produce un desajuste entre ambos, procedente de la magnitud física a medir, se genera un desfase. Tal desfase permite teóricamente capturar la magnitud física a medir totalmente libre de desajustes procedentes de perturbaciones externas. Además, esta técnica es fácilmente integrable, lo cual la hace un candidato prometedor para su futura integración a gran escala. Después del estudio del marco teórico de la sincronización de resonadores, varias directrices se plantean para el diseño de tal arquitectura, las cuales se usan para realizar la fabricación de un prototipo para probar el concepto. Dicho prototipo se caracteriza experimentalmente y se comprara con los resultados teóricos calculados inicialmente, mostrando muy buen ajuste, con una mejora de la sensibilidad del orden del factor de calidad Q de los resonadores MEMS, y un thermal drift rejection ratio del orden de 200.<br>M/NEMS resonant sensors, due to their small size, consumption and quasi-digital output (a frequency most of the time) are useful tools for on-board systems, from smartphones to aeronautic technology. However, they suffer from environmental drifts, and even though the effect of these drifts can be limited by the design, it is sometimes necessary to use differential architectures to properly remove the drifts from the measurements and ensure the output reliability even in harsh environments. In this work, a special technique for differential measurement is studied and implemented, consisting in the synchronization of two resonators, one reference and one sensor. Placed in a single feedback loop, they oscillate at the same frequency and eventual phase shift when the physical quantity to be sensed is applied. This phase shift is a theoretically drift-free way to measure this physical quantity. This technique also benefits from its ease of integration, making it a good candidate for large scale integration. After studying the theoretical framework of the synchronization of two resonators, several design guidelines are found for the architecture, which are used in the fabrication of a proof of concept. The theoretical performances are found as well, and compared to the experimental ones. A very good agreement is found between experiment and theory, with a sensitivity enhancement of the order of the MEMS resonators quality factor, and a thermal drift rejection ratio of the order of 200.

Abstract:
The main objectives of the study was to determine the exclusivity of the objectives of the regional groupings within the SADC region and to assess the impact that membership overlaps has on the realization of specific regional grouping objectives.A qualitative research approach was adopted. Semi-structured in-depth expert interviews were used to determine the issues arising from regional membership overlaps in the SADC region.Due to limited literature around the subject of regional integration in the SADC region, work done by my supervisor Dr Jannie Rossouw were cited in some instances.Recent developments in the Western economies that have resulted in the refocusing of the SADC region have resulted in polarization amongst the regional groupings in Africa. Furthermore, existing regional groupings within the Southern Africa, have endenvoured on an ambitious regional integration agenda which has resulted in membership overlaps within the existing regional bodies. The study found that these regional overlaps are costing the affected member states in the form of monetary subscription and through the deployment of the rare human skilled resources to regional secretariats. The advent of the European Partnership Agreements has caused polarization within the SADC region through the signing of various bi-lateral and multi-lateral agreements. Most importantly, this study found that structural overlaps exist within SADC itself. A lack of sufficient political will amongst SADC member states was also noted as an impediment to regional integration.However, the study also noted some positive performances of existing regional grouping despite membership overlaps. The Common Monetary Area was highlighted as a grouping that was performing in line with prescribed regional integration convergence indicators.<br>Dissertation (MBA)--University of Pretoria, 2012.<br>Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS)<br>Unrestricted

Abstract:
<p> Given the intolerance of homosexuality in many religions and religious communities, particularly Muslim American communities, many LGBTQ-identified individuals who grow up in Muslim families and societies struggle with the two oft perceived incompatible identities. Numerous researchers have examined this phenomenon among Christian and Jewish gay men in the United States, but minimal research has addressed men who identify as gay and Muslim. These individuals face an even greater risk of psychological and physical harm due to the cultural and religious proscriptions that gay Muslims face and the lack of social and psychological resources available to them. By further examining how gay Muslim men cope with their sexual and religious identities, and how personal traits, experiences, and situations mitigate or enhance the conflict that many experience, my intent with this study was to contribute to the nascent psychological framework that mental health providers, especially therapists, could access when working with clients who identify as gay and Muslim. Using a social constructionist paradigm and thematic analysis, the lived experiences, attitudes, and beliefs of nine men all of whom are between the ages of 24 and 35, were raised in Muslim families, and are attracted to other men were examined in this qualitative study. The analysis of the interviews focused on religion, sexuality, identity negotiation, relationships, and mental health. Particular efforts were invested in looking at how the participants negotiate their religious and sexual identity development and, if present, how they resolve their identity conflict. The majority of the participants rejected their Muslim identities with a few participants maintaining their Muslim and gay identities. Implications for clinical practice are discussed.</p>

Abstract:
De nos jours de plus en plus de joint-ventures apparaissent. Cette forme de coopération peut être sous certaines conditions un espace d'apprentissage et de transfert de connaissances entre les entreprises mères. Pourtant, le transfert de connaissances dans le cadre d'une joint-venture demeure encore un domaine peu connu. La présente recherche s'est proposé d'explorer le phénomène de transfert de onnaissances dans le cadre d'une joint-venture. A travers cette thèse on propose une vision originale et riche en précisant la nature et la dynamique d'une relation triale (entreprises mères et joint-venture). Les résultats de la recherche ont montré, tout d'abord, que la réussite de transfert dépend de la qualité des contributions de l'entreprise mère étrangère, de l'entreprise mère locale et de la joint-venture. Ensuite, la relation informelle entre les décideurs est apparue comme un facteur facilitateur du transfert de connaissances. Enfin, nous avons pu identifier des facteurs déterminants du transfert de connaissances de l'entreprise mère étrangère vers la joint-venture, de l'entreprise mère locale vers la joint-venture et de la joint-venture vers les entreprises mères. Les facteurs suivants : la confiance mutuelle, la performance de la joint-venture, la qualité des contributions, l'équilibre du pouvoir de négociation, la compatibilité stratégique et la compatibilité culturelle sont des facteurs déterminants dans les trois processus de transfert de connaissances. Autant les entreprises mères que la joint-venture doivent les prendre en compte en vue de mieux réussir le transfert de connaissances.

Abstract:
碩士<br>中原大學<br>資訊管理研究所<br>99<br>Accompany with the development of information technology, the Chinese information processing has changed to meaning or context understanding rather than just showing Chinese character on computer screen. When it comes to Chinese information processing, including its subarea, Chinese Voice Recognition, Chinese Information Retrieval, Chinese Document Classification, Chinese Machine Translation, Understanding of Natural Language, Chinese Text Mining, etc. We can't go advance without the first step of Chinese Word Segmentation which splits whole documentation or sentences into meaningful and understandable words so that machine could handled. Take a look at nowadays Chinese Word Segmentation System, it still relies on knowledge of back-end lexicon or corpus and the lexicon building needs a lot of artificial works. If anew word or unknown word such as person name, place name, event name appears and the lexicon doesn't update these word immediately, it would impacts the result of Chinese Word Segmentation System. In order to take a measure of above problem, we propose a Chinese Word Segmentation System with dynamic adaptive ability in lexicon building that collects Chinese documents from Internet and uses these information to build and update lexicon automatically. In computing of segmentation result, we use Genetic Algorithm which combines with fitness function with concept of mutual information that came from statistics area so as to enhance discussion between word and word. Finally, since there are no absolutely criterion to judge a segmentation result good or not, so we take Chinese Documentation Classification to evaluate the segmentation result with another GA-based Chinese Word Segmentation System that proposed by Chen(2000) and well-known modern Chinese Word Segmentation System, CKIP which proposed by Academia Sinica. The research result shows, if we take the document set of classification as training data of lexicon building before document classification, the proposed Chinese segmenter greater than other two segmenter on classified accuracy. In the basis of same GA-based Chinese segmenter, our proposed fitness function that combines with mutual information also outperform Chen's fitness function that using word length and frequency. According to our research result, if we can massively and largely collect words by using proposed approach of lexicon building, it would great improve the result of current Chinese Word Segmentation System.

Abstract:
This research extends the knowledge-based view of the firm as it relates to organizational structure. In particular, this research provides evidence that fundamental classifications of knowledge are measurable, in relative terms, as factors of production. It then relates differences in relative quantities of these classifications of knowledge to the presence or absence of inter-firm boundaries. Finally, this study provides evidence that financial performance may be related to the alignment of organizational structure with knowledge-based factors of production. This study contributes to strategic management theory by offering a potential solution to the difficulties of measuring knowledge as a factor of production. The research was motivated by the belief that it is the cost and value of knowledge that determines economic efficiency (Simon, 1999). By surveying professionals in the mutual fund industry for their relative reliance on three classifications of knowledge, this study suggests a set of measures of knowledge-based factors of production. These measures in turn support the testing of hypotheses related to the vertical integration (or de-integration) of adjacent stages of production. Researchers have typically categorized organizational knowledge as either tacit or explicit. This research develops the concept of encapsulated knowledge as a fundamental classification of knowledge. Encapsulated knowledge is neither tacit nor explicit, because it is externalized and implicit. Progress in measuring knowledge is made by distinguishing between knowledge that resides in human minds (tacit), knowledge that is codified as information (codified), and knowledge that is embodied in the design and functionality of physical artefacts (encapsulated). Relative reliance on the fundamentally different knowledge-based factors of production was found to vary between adjacent stages of production, despite the essential overlap of jointly held substantive knowledge. Portfolio managers are generally less (more) reliant on tacit (encapsulated) knowledge than other investment management professionals in the mutual fund complex. In addition, portfolio managers whose firms are de-integrated from the mutual fund management firms were found to be more (less) reliant on tacit (encapsulated) knowledge than their integrated counterparts. Finally, alignment between mutual fund structure and reliance on knowledge-based factors of production was found to affect performance of mutual funds.

Abstract:
This dissertation is an exploration of the ways in which contemporary practices of pluralism are challenging, and being shaped by, concepts of state sovereignty. I explore two very different contexts; the relationship between First Nations and Settlers on that part of Turtle Island sometimes called Canada, and the relationship between the European Union and its Member-States. In both contexts, I explore how political, legal, and economic practices are generating forms of social order that depart to varying degrees from the total, exclusive authority associated with sovereignty. In particular, I show that actors in both settings have actually developed two remarkably similar practices – interpenetrating institutions or co-decision mechanisms, and conditional authority claims. Together, these practices enable actors to contest and coordinate their respective authority claims in ways that do not rely on an overarching sovereign or even a shared understanding of their relationship. Instead, practices of interpenetration and conditional authority make all parties responsive to multiple standards of conduct, allowing diverse actors to seek justice over time in conditions of persistent difference and conflict.<br>Graduate

Abstract:
碩士<br>國立中正大學<br>資訊工程研究所<br>92<br>In the problem of integrating documents from different sources into a comprehensive topic hierarchy, the objective is to develop efficient techniques that improve the accuracy of traditional categorization methods by incorporating categorization information provided by data sources into categorization process. Notice that in the World-Wide Web, categorization information is often available from information sources. Observe that many of the topic hierarchies adopted by current information sources are highly related. We believe that categorization information can be used to improve classification accuracy. However, this kind of problem need mutually labeled data between two hierarchies. Maybe we have no enough mutually labeled documents between two hierarchies in the World-Wide Web, or even no mutually labeled data completely. In the thesis, we study the problem of integrating documents from different sources into a comprehensive topic hierarchy without mutually labeled data. To solve this problem, the Bayesian Extension algorithm will need a predicting algorithm. We present several techniques that predict relations between topic hierarchies and incorporate categorization information from source hierarchies into traditional classification methods. Experiment on collections from Openfind and Yam, and Google and Yahoo, well-known popular web sites, shows that incorporating predicted mapping from source hierarchies to target hierarchies can improve the classification accuracy.

Abstract:
碩士<br>中原大學<br>資訊工程研究所<br>97<br>Investors often need to collect and analyze financial and economic reports for taking the opportunity of making money. As the booming development of Internet, it is easy for investors to get the related data, but the information overloads is getting worse. Therefore, a systematic way to build a mechanism for the filtering and analysis of such data has become an interesting but challenging topic. This thesis takes the monthly reports of “Fund Performance Evaluation Form” announced by “Securities Investment Trust Consulting Association of the R.O.C.” (SITCA) as the main resource to build a system for the analysis and prediction of mutual funds and help investors do business. Our system consists of two parts. The first subsystem finds out the strong funds that perform well in two phases. One is based on “4433 Rules” to pick up the funds with the best performance in the gain rate, while another applies the skyline concept to choose the funds without being dominated by any others. The second subsystem then retrieves the information of the strong funds within the user-specified time period to analyze their performance and durability in the near future. Integrating the analytical results of all the strong funds further enables the prediction of the entire marketing trend in the near future. The experiment results show that our method outperforms the ordinary rules in the subsequent performance of the filtered results. The prediction also achieves almost 60% in accuracy. Moreover, our method for skyline computation speeds up above 20%.

Abstract:
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)<br>In the fields of formal and informal online adult education, the absence of a social context for instruction has been found to present significant limitations for learner persistence and retention. In the field of online psychoeducational intervention, self-administered and self-paced individualized prevention programs have been developed for delivery to large populations of anonymous users. These delivery models provide limited social context for instructional activities, due in part to the anonymity of their participants. When social interaction is included in their prevention programs through voluntary, asynchronous self-help/mutual aid discussion forums, anonymity may still limit social interaction, in favor of observational learning advantages for self-efficacy appraisals derived from "lurking". When these large-group models have been applied to online psychoeducation intervention programs for the purposes of encouraging mutual aid, interactive participation has been limited. This mixed methods study focused on a model for the design of an online small group psychoeducational intervention that integrated individual and social learning in a parent management training program. Self-paced participation was replaced with facilitator-led participation in an asynchronous discussion forum where topics were prioritized and sequenced with learning content from individual web-based training modules. Social interaction was facilitated through online problem-based learning discussion group. Despite assertions that interactive participation in online psychoeducational discussion forums may only be accomplished once a subscriber threshold of several hundred participants has been reached, this study found that small group participation through the program's integrated design resulted large effects for increases in parent self-agency and reduction of over-reactive, coercive parenting behaviors. Participation in the online problem-based group discussion forum was found to have contributed to participant outcomes when posting characteristics revealed the presence of both mutual aid processes and the application of individual learning module content.
