Abstract:

The practice of selling passports through Citizenship by Investment (CBI) programmes is gaining more attraction and legitimacy in light of increasingly stricter immigration policies. Instead of simply weighing the pro and contra points of CBI, this thesis aims to understand CBI as a consequence of neoliberalism and analyses the correlation between so called ‘passport power’ and wealth, whereby the former is determined by rankings and the latter is represented in terms of the gross domestic product (GDP). Hence, a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods is used to firstly, examine the strength of correlation, and secondly, supported by Laclau and Mouffe’s discourse theory, discuss how CBI is understood and debated in the context of today’s governed communities. The CBI arises out of a discursive struggle between citizenship and class, and exacerbates preexisting global inequalities. Furthermore, it challenges the normative foundations of citizenship and its connection to the nation state. On the one hand CBI contests the sedimented discourse of the modern passport system (and by extension the notions of citizenship), on the other hand capitalist negative individualism corrupts/distorts the initially egalitarian, utopian vision of what it means to be a citizen of the world.

Abstract:

International Passports: Portraits of the Nigerian Diaspora considers notions of 'alienation‘ and 'nation-hood‘ through the lens of portraiture. This dissertation addresses issues of identity and representation in a contemporary cultural context as they pertain to the concerns presented through my current visual practice. The paintings that I have produced from 'real‘ life are primarily depictions of Nigerian individuals, friends and acquaintances (professionals and students) residing in Grahamstown, South Africa as temporary or permanent migrants. I reference the mug shot pose of identity documents and passport photographs and render them in such a way that ideas of their persona are subject to the viewer‘s gaze and deliberations, thus provoking the spectator to consider questions of 'otherness‘ and 'stereotypes‘. This provocation is subtle and complex, and in many ways I am offering the viewer a 're-looking‘, an opportunity to examine one‘s moral position and subsequent implication within the act of stereotyping an 'other‘ individual. The initial idea within this body of work was to paint images of Nigerian nationals exclusively, yet the restrictive nature of such categorization pushed me to complicate certain nationalist ideologies through the inclusion of non-Nigerian individuals. I look specifically at notions of the 'other‘ and 'strangeness‘ in a contemporary South African context and how this connects to the concept of portraiture and not simply portraiture theory but also the social theory in relation to how people are 'imaged‘. Throughout this thesis I consider several theoretical concerns in portraiture practice and discourse whilst simultaneously unpacking the psychological and social contexts that influence my practice.

Abstract:

Contemporary society is plagued with perceived risks and feelings of uncertainty. In traditional societies, people relied on kinship, norms, and shared identity to establish ties and manage the risks of the collective. Technology is increasingly sought to manage risks as present day society is thought to be facing manufactured, virtual, and borderless risks not experienced in previous eras. Technologies, such as biometric identification systems, operate within a network society capable of processing and disseminating information like never before. The science behind the various types of technological systems enable greater risk detection but also reinforce the public's fear of crime as these technologies highlight the omnipresence of risk. Greater awareness of risk ultimately heightens fear of crime and creates anxiety amongst the public towards expert systems that cannot effectively manage the risks they detect. Van Loon (2000) identifies the increasing reliance on technology to manage risks at a time when science is facing severe criticism as a central paradox within the risk society. Therefore, the focus of the current study is to expand the current knowledge regarding how extraordinary technologies that were once used to identify immigrant and marginalized populations have permeated all facets of society. More specifically, the current study examines biometric technologies that are increasingly used to securitize the identity of the whole population, to control access to restricted areas, and to secure items of personal property. To investigate the normalization of extraordinary technologies and the nature of the hypothesized ambivalent relationship people have towards science, the current study utilizes a group-administered student questionnaire. Students' were asked about their perceptions of risk, safety, and biometric technologies in order to gain a greater understanding of the factors that contribute to the acceptance or non-acceptance of biometric passports in Canada before their issuance in 2011. In the current study it was hypothesized that people who possessed certain individual characteristics such as anxiety towards expert systems, previous victimization, negative perceptions of safety, or a lack of familiarity with biometrics would be less accepting of biometric passports. It was also hypothesized that finger scans would be the biometric identifier of choice as finger scans have been slowly integrated into multiple facets of society over a long period of time. Trust in expert systems was found to be of central importance in the acceptance of finger scan passports, while potential discriminatory consequences of biometric passports contributed to the ambivalent relationship people have towards science. Despite their association with criminal investigations finger scans were preferred over the use of facial scanning for various purposes including for use on biometric passports.

Abstract:

This dissertation explores the European Union’s (EU) European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) as a technology of insecurity governance in order to better understand insecurity management practices of the EU bureaucracies and policy elites. The central argument of the project is that security communities are insecurity communities. Rather than trying to maintain a state of non-war, insecurity communities establish and further develop a constant productive field of insecurity management that aims to identify and govern threats and unease. The projects core contributions rest with the security community theory and the literature on the EU’s external governance literatures. Empirically, the dissertation focuses on the human mobility and transportation insecurity management practices of the EU in relation to the uses of e-Passports and intermodal containers.

Abstract:

ix, 161 p. : maps
In 2002, the Russian government began distributing tens of thousands of Russian passports in the de facto states of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. Some scholarly attention has been devoted to this process, known as passportization, but most of the literature treats passportization as a primarily political process, ignoring its geographic aspects. This thesis shows that passportization in Abkhazia and South Ossetia amounted to a process of "biocolonization," wherein the populations of the de facto states were discursively captured by Russia through individual naturalization. Consequently, passportization served to create "Russian spaces" within the internationally recognized borders of Georgia and, in the process challenged international legal norms rooted in the logic of the modern state system.

Abstract:

The American Revolution brought with it a crisis of identification. The political divisions that fragmented American society did not distinguish adherents of the two sides in any outward way. Yet the new American governments had to identify their citizens; potential citizens themselves had to choose and prove their identities; and both sides of the war had to distinguish friend from foe. Subordinated groups who were notionally excluded from but deeply affected by the Revolutionary contest found in the same crisis new opportunity to seize control over their own identities. Those who claimed mastership over these groups struggled to maintain control amid civil war and revolution.

To meet this crisis, American and British authorities and "Americans" of all sorts employed paper and parchment instruments of identification, including passes, passports, commissions, loyalty certificates, and letters of introduction. These were largely familiar instruments, many embodying the hierarchical and coercive social world from which the Revolution sprang. Access or subjection to certain classes of instruments depended on individuals' social standing and reflected their unequal power over their own identities. But they were now deployed to meet new challenges. The increased demands for identification brought to Revolutionary Americans in general degrees of scrutiny and constraint traditional reserved for the unfree, while subordinated groups faced an intensification of the regimes designed to govern them. The struggles to define, enforce, and contest Revolutionary identities reveal the ways the notionally voluntarist, republican Revolution, undertaken in the name of consent and equality, was effected through regimes of identification both exclusive and coercive.

While studies of early American identity are now common, there has been little study of the history of identification or identification papers in early America. Historians of this period have employed instruments of identification as sources, but they have rarely considered them as subjects of analysis in themselves. This study of the Revolutionary crisis of identification, from 1774 to 1783, examines the ways that these instruments of identification were used to identify "Americans" in the face of this crisis, at home and abroad, and therefore how the new United States were constituted through the identification of individuals.

Abstract:

Between 1664 and 1885 labour in Sweden was regulated by compulsory-service statutes. Able-bodied but idle persons could be compelled to submit to employment as a servant. Compulsory service was part of a larger system of laws and regulations that regulated mobility, settlement, begging, and poor relief, all of which aimed at restricting the labouring poor’s freedom and agency. Some parts of this system had medieval roots, such as vagrancy laws. From the perspective of the propertied classes, this system of interacting regulations served several purposes, such as fighting idleness, labour shortage, high wages, begging, demands for poor relief, unwanted settlement in the parishes, and geographical movement. The obligation to serve was abolished in 1885. Failure to comply with these service statutes was punishable by being treated as a ‘vagrant’, which could mean being jailed in a house of correction, or simply being ordered to find employment within a specific time. In short, it was illegal to be without work or other means of supporting oneself, such as property. The purpose of this thesis is to analyse the social practices of the compulsory-service statutes and related issues such as mobility and settlement. The thesis has dealt with four areas of inquiry: the judicial framework, the policing of ‘vagrancy’, in what situations people were exempt from having to comply with the compulsory service statues, and the identity of the ‘vagrant’. The system for dealing with ‘vagrancy’ has left a large number of sources, and different sources give different images of the poor. This applies most clearly in the case of the Swedish Romani population, the Resande. The thesis deals with the county (län) of Västmanland during the 1830s. It highlights how the compulsory-service statutes and related vagrancy laws shaped the lives of people and points to how these institutions restricted poor people’s agency and formed their experiences.

Abstract:

Thesis ( M. Tech. (Business Administration )) - Central University of Technology, Free State, 2014
Fast and secure public service delivery is not only a necessity, but a compulsory endeavour. However, it is close to impossible to achieve such objectives without the use of Information Technology (IT). It is correspondingly important to find proper sustainability frameworks of technology. Organisations do not only need technology for efficient public service; the constant upgrading of systems and cautious migration to the newest IT developments is also equally indispensable in today’s dynamic technological world. Conversely, countries in Africa are always lagging behind in technological progresses. Such deficiencies have been identified in the passport processing of Lesotho and South Africa, where to unequal extents, problems related to systems of passport production have contributed to delays and have become fertile grounds for corrupt practices. The study seeks to identify the main impediments in the adoption of Management Information Systems (MIS) for passport processing. Furthermore, the study explores the impact MIS might have in attempting to combat long queues and to avoid long waiting periods – from application to issuance of passports to citizens. The reasonable time frame between passport application and issuance, and specific passport management systems, have been extensively discussed along with various strategies that have been adopted by some of the world’s first movers in modern passport management technologies. In all cases and stages of this research, Lesotho and South Africa are compared. The research approach of the study was descriptive and explorative in nature. As a quantitative design, a structured questionnaire was used to solicit responses in Lesotho and South Africa. It was established that both Lesotho and South Africa have somewhat similar problems – although, to a greater extent, Lesotho needs much more urgent attention. Although the processes of South Africa need to be improved, the Republic releases a passport much faster and more efficiently than Lesotho. Economic issues are also revealed by the study as unavoidable factors that always affect technological developments in Africa. The study reveals that the latest MIS for passport processing has facilitated modern, automated border-control systems and resultant e-passports that incorporate more biometric information of citizens to passports – thanks to modern RFID technologies. One can anticipate that this study will provide simple, affordable and secure IT solutions for passport processing. Key words: Information Technology (IT); Management Information Systems (MIS); E-Government; E-Passport; Biometrics; and RFID.

Abstract:

The object of this thesis is the study of some new financial models. The common feature is that they all involve optimal decisions. Some of the decisions take the form of a control and we enter the theory of stochastic optimal control and of Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equations. Other decisions are "binary" and we deal with the theory of optimal stopping and free boundary problems. Throughout the thesis we will prefer a heuristic and intuitive approach to a too technical one which could hide the underlying ideas. In the first part we introduce the reader to option pricing, HJB equations and free boundary problems, and we review briefly the use of these mathematical tools in finance. The second part of the thesis deals with passport options. The pricing of these exotic options involves stochastic optimal control and free boundary problems. Finally, in the last part we study the end-of-the-year bonus for traders: how to optimally reward a trader?

Full text

Abstract:

Over the last half a century, the frequency and intensity of tornados, floods, and other severe weather events have underscored the need for disaster preparedness, particularly for older adults. Functional limitations, cognitive decline, and medical comorbidities such as heart disease and diabetes create additional vulnerabilities, regardless of the type of disaster. Still, elders are capable of self-identifying needs and can be empowered to prepare communication plans, assemble disaster kits, and learn how to respond to threats posed by specific disasters. By increasing the level of disaster preparedness through training, many of the health problems faced by elders during a disaster could be alleviated and their overall response improved. Yet despite their abilities and the known benefits of disaster preparedness, disaster education and planning for elders has not been widely implemented.

The purpose of the Geriatric Passport Project was to increase the level of disaster preparedness through implementation of a disaster education program among community-dwelling older adults over the age of 55. Recruitment strategies included media, engaging key staff from program sites, and word of mouth.

The project used a pre-post reflexive control design. Knowledge about the elements to include in a disaster communication plan increased as did knowledge about items to include in a disaster kit. Notably, self-rated level of stress associated with evacuation to a shelter remained unchanged. Most importantly, the perceived level of disaster preparedness increased, suggesting that those who participated in the Geriatric Passport Project felt more prepared to respond to a disaster as a result of having attended the disaster education program.

The Geriatric Passport Project appears to have beneficial effects and the success of the pilot project supports exploring the feasibility of expanding the program to a wider geographic region and conducting a more rigorous evaluation of program effectiveness, efficacy, and efficiency.

Full text

Abstract:

'Passport to the Dream Factory: Hollywood and the Exotic Allure of Female Italian Ethnicity' is a feminist-inflected star study which explores articulations of ethnic femininity within Hollywood cinema. It does this via a case study approach, focus sing on Italian female stars whose careers took them to the US in successive decades and who each illustrate different aspects of the perception of Italian femininity in American society. Organised chronologically, the case studies explore the work of four Italian stars - Isa Miranda in the late 1930s, Alida Valli in the late 1940s, Anna Magnani in the mid-1950s and Vima Lisi in the mid-1960s. Taken together, these case studies demonstrate the complex ways in which Hollywood made use of Italian female stars, adapting their images and in some cases remodelling them for the purposes of the period in question. I use the work of Richard Dyer in White (1997) and Stars (1998) and Diane Negra in Off-White Hollywood: American Culture and Ethnic Female Stardom (2001), drawing on a number of scholarly disciplines and methods, including star studies, feminist film studies, cultural studies, and critical race and whiteness studies. The thesis relates the narrativisations of female Italianness in popular American cinema to the expression and negotiation of gender and ethnic identities in American culture at a given time in American history and argues that Hollywood makes ideological use of ethnic femininity in a manner which responds to the particular historical context. I conclude that Hollywood's construction of the personae of the Italian film stars I discuss was ideologically fraught. Located within specific historical, political and social conditions and circumstances in which they acquired significance and meaning, the American personae of Miranda, Valli, Magnani and Lisi articulated cultural fantasies around female Italianness that were supportive of patriarchal hegemony and whiteness as the norm.

Um passaporte é um documento pessoal de identidade que protege legalmente seu portador no exterior e permite sua entrada e circulação em países com os quais seu país de origem mantém relações. Os problemas de imigração ilegal, terrorismo, tráfico de drogas e outros têm feito com que os países se preocupem em controlar do modo mais eficaz possível a entrada e saída de pessoas estrangeiras. Dessa forma, alguns países estão desenvolvendo técnicas para confirmar com precisão se o portador do documento é seu legítimo detentor. Diante da forte relação entre Brasil e França, estudar a terminologia dos passaportes e elaborar um glossário dos termos nele encontrados é de grande importância social, visto que pode colaborar para uma melhor comunicação entre autoridades alfandegárias e também contribui intensamente para o trabalho dos tradutores juramentados ao se depararem com passaportes ou até outros documentos da área jurídica. Nosso projeto se insere em um projeto maior, o Lextraju - O léxico para a tradução juramentada, coordenado pela Profa. Dra. Lidia Almeida Barros na Unesp de São José do Rio Preto. Cada membro do Lextraju trabalha com um tipo de documento, visando no futuro, à criação de um dicionário jurídico.
A passport is a personal identity document that legally protects its owner abroad and allows its entry and circulation in countries with which their country has relations. The problems of illegal immigration, terrorism, drug trafficking and others have done that countries worry about controlling the most effective way the entry and exit of foreigners. Therefore, some countries are developing techniques to confirm if the document holder is the legitimate holder. Given the strong relationship between Brazil and France, studying the terminology of passports and elaborating a glossary of terms found in it, it is a great social importance, since it can contribute to a better communication between customs authorities and also strongly contributes to sworn translators work, when they face with passports or other documents of legal area. Our project makes part of a larger project, Lextraju – O Léxico para a tradução juramentada, coordinated by Profa . Dra . Lidia Almeida Barros, at Unesp in São José do Rio Preto. Each member of Lextraju works with a different document, aiming in the future, the creation of a legal dictionary.

Florencio, Pedro. "Regulatory governance in the Brazilian oil sector : passport to the future or passage to the past?" Thesis, University of Warwick, 2015. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/77710/.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis examines the current Brazilian oil sector's institutional and regulatory governance structure and its impact on four variables: investment, production, technology-innovation and the strategic control of oil. These variables are fundamental for the development of the oil industry and they are mentioned in Brazilian laws as central aspects to be continually developed. A prospective analysis of the 2010 reform in the Brazilian oil regulatory framework is a major part of the thesis because the alterations are relatively recent and have not as yet produced a set of consistent and statistically significant data. The research adopts a multidisciplinary perspective, using the institutional, reflexive and responsive theoretical frameworks and a methodology based on the examination of the legislation, semi-structured interviews and a historical comparative study of international regulatory governance in the oil sector to draw two main conclusions. First, the new Brazilian regulatory framework will have significant drawbacks in three of the four variables: investments, production and technology-innovation, essentially because of its excessively interfering and rigid approach, based on command and control regulations. Second, despite allowing an increasing strategic control over oil in some specific situations, this goal could have been attained in a manner that would have avoided the shortcomings in the other variables. Based on this understanding, the thesis makes recommendations to overcome the identified drawbacks. In line with the responsive and reflexive conceptual frameworks, the proposals consider that regulations in a dynamic and changeable sector as the oil industry should avert intrusiveness and imperative commands. They should rather advocate a versatile and interactive regulatory approach, steering and guiding the different stakeholders to socially desirable outcomes.

Abstract:

Research Problem: The South African health system faces numerous challenges associated with its status as a middle-income developing nation. Wasteful expenditure and poor clinical outcomes arise from inefficient inter-organizational communication of patient information and the lack of a centralized health database. Research question: How does the experience of chronic disease patients with their health information inform the development of future health records in low income population groups? Proposition: Exploration of patient and health care workers experiences of medical records can inform their future development to enhance continuity of care. Objectives, methodology, procedures and outcome: Identification of an appropriate format, technological basis and functional design of a prototype medical record system by means of a phenomenological study conducted through in-depth interviews of patients and doctors in order to improve clinical care. Left and right hermeneutics were used to analyse the data and develop themes. Findings: Health records play a critical role in the clinics workflow processes, document the patients' management and clinical progress. They are an important intermediary in the relationship between the patient and the facility. Inefficiencies in the paper-based system lead to ineffective consultations, loss of continuity of care and discord between practitioners and patients. Improvement of the records format is required to provide ubiquitous access to health and improve patient health literacy.

Abstract:

The movement of people across African borders has become a significant element of regional integration efforts throughout the continent. Consequently, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has adopted a number of programmes aimed at facilitating the free movement of community citizens. Among these is the Protocol on Free Movement, Residence and Establishment, its supplementary protocols and free movement initiatives. In the year 2000, the West African community through the ECOWAS introduced a common passport. The passport was established and adopted as one of the numerous initiatives formulated under the organisation for the purposes of facilitating the movement of people within the sub-region. Although the ECOWAS passport has been celebrated for being the first fully functional common passport in Africa, the travel document’s contribution towards the realization of the free movement of people aspiration has been limited. The principle objective of the study is to examine the effectiveness of the common passport in attaining the intended goal of improving mobility. Subsequently, the study provides a reflection on some of the challenges that persist against the successful use of the passport. The study demonstrates how the socio-economic and political conditions present in member states continue to affect the effectiveness of the common passport.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to determine whether there was a difference in achievement scores and pass rates on Virginia's Literacy Passport Test between students who volunteered for and received additional instruction, students who volunteered for but did not receive the instruction, and students who neither volunteered for nor received interventional instruction in a program for rising sixth graders identified as potentially at-risk of initially failing the LPT.;It was hypothesized that (1) volunteers' scores of those who attended the summer program would show higher achievement and pass rates than either the scores of the volunteers without additional instruction and non-volunteers and (2) volunteer scores and pass rates of students who had not entered the five week program but expressed a desire to do so would show higher achievement than the non-volunteers.;Students' LPT scores were measured and analyzed. Those who received treatment did not produce mean scores nor pass rates significantly higher than those who did not receive treatment.;Further study is needed to determine whether summer intervention programs are effective for those students who have taken the LPT and have failed any portion of it.

Full text

Abstract:

An examination of the famous and celebrities within a country can offer a view to the values of its people. The Romans had Caesar, the Egyptians Cleopatra and in the early twentieth century Americans admired Charles Lindbergh. From each of them, scholars have learned something about the age in which they lived and the people of their time. Standards of beauty, behavior, and success have been gleaned by examining women and men held in the public spotlight. The historian Daniel Boorstin worried that that was changing in the United States by the twentieth century due to the growing influence of mass media. His 1961 book The Image: A Guide to Pseudo-Events in America warned that the country was straying from values that he believed made it great. Image and appearance, he warned, were replacing experience and achievement as most important in persons gaining public recognition. A proliferation of mass media manufactured "pseudo-events" was the cause he said, impacting not only who was recognized but the country's ideals. Boorstin labeled it a "cultural decline" that had started with the Graphic Revolution. Although changes in western society did take place and that change was revolutionary, this dissertation suggests a slow but steady "evolution" of the self was also underway and may be more descriptive of what was and is still occurring today. This study links industrialization, dramatic technological advances, and the conversion of American society from rural to urban dwellers to a transformation of the "self" that started as far back as the Reformation, as causes for the changes. That transformation sparked a slowly budding struggle over control of self-identity that continues to this day. A half century after Daniel Boorstin issued his warning, this dissertation explores not just the accuracy of his predictions but why and how many business and political interests and social elites still struggle to maintain some influence over how Americans perceive themselves through images, how concepts of fame and celebrity continue to evolve and why the scholarly conversation about mass media, culture and society generated by his original hypothesis may be more important to explore today than ever.

Abstract:

This thesis explores numerical methods for solving nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) that arise in option pricing problems. The goal is to develop or identify robust and efficient techniques that converge to the financially relevant solution for both one and two factor problems. To illustrate the underlying concepts, two nonlinear models are examined in detail: uncertain volatility and passport options. For any nonlinear model, implicit timestepping techniques lead to a set of discrete nonlinear equations which must be solved at each timestep. Several iterative methods for solving these equations are tested. In the cases of uncertain volatility and passport options, it is shown that the frozen coefficient method outperforms two different Newton-type methods. Further, it is proven that the frozen coefficient method is guaranteed to converge for a wide class of one factor problems. A major issue when solving nonlinear PDEs is the possibility of multiple solutions. In a financial context, convergence to the viscosity solution is desired. Conditions under which the one factor uncertain volatility equations are guaranteed to converge to the viscosity solution are derived. Unfortunately, the techniques used do not apply to passport options, primarily because a positive coefficient discretization is shown to not always be achievable. For both uncertain volatility and passport options, much work has already been done for one factor problems. In this thesis, extensions are made for two factor problems. The importance of treating derivative estimates consistently between the discretization and an optimization procedure is discussed. For option pricing problems in general, non-smooth data can cause convergence difficulties for classical timestepping techniques. In particular, quadratic convergence may not be achieved. Techniques for restoring quadratic convergence for linear problems are examined. Via numerical examples, these techniques are also shown to improve the stability of the nonlinear uncertain volatility and passport option problems. Finally, two applications are briefly explored. The first application involves static hedging to reduce the bid-ask spread implied by uncertain volatility pricing. While static hedging has been carried out previously for one factor models, examples for two factor models are provided. The second application uses passport option theory to examine trader compensation strategies. By changing the payoff, it is shown how the expected distribution of trading account balances can be modified to reflect trader or bank preferences.

Abstract:

Wireless equipment offers several possibilities which make it more attractive than the wired alternative. Meetings or temporary office spaces could be assigned with less consideration of the presence of permanent networking facilities. It also makes it possible for users to create ad-hoc networks simply by being within a certain range of each other, which facilitates information sharing. Since information is broadcasted in the air, it also requires stringent security measures. Vendors of wireless equipment have their non-standard security solutions which lock-in the acquirer. For this purpose I study standard security schemes which could be applied independent of the wireless device manufacturer. The techniques that I have chosen are IPSec, Kerberos and MS Passport. The study describes each technique from the perspectives of manageability, security, performance, compatibility, cost and ease of implementation. The result is a comparison of the studied techniques. I conclude with a recommendation to use a combination of IPSec and Kerberos to enhance the security of a wireless local area network and a reservation towards MS Passport.

Abstract:

Today's globalization leads to a wide range of new developing trends influencing the insurance market. The main one is a variance in the character of risks. The generation of new threats means for insurers to face up a difficultness with an identification of risks and a prediction of future damages. Solutions of a catastrophic impact of damages are hidden in an alternative transfer of risks and a higher level of assurance. The treat of longevity has its own impact, too. Demographic shock caused by a strain of population has turned people in advanced western markets to life-insurance. Mainly, because of a current insufficient set up of pensions systems, people has searched a new possibility how to insure their post-active life. It has enabled a development of life-insurance products focusing on individual clients' needs and providing several components of flexibility and variability. As a next globalization push, I cannot omit concentration and consolidation ongoing nowadays on the insurance market. Rise of giant conglomerates can be seen in the accent of cost reduction, diversification of risks and using enormous financial power. Nevertheless, the main impulse has risen from the still changing clients' needs with the necessity of obtaining complex financial service. Last but not least, I would like to mention the implementation of a regulatory project Solvency II accompanying by IFRS in the field of the insurance market. Their objectives are a reduction of information asymmetry, a higher stability of the insurance market and transparency and comparability of insurers' financial reporting leading to higher clients' protection.

Abstract:

The Internet has grown from its modest academic beginnings into an important, global communication medium. It has become a significant, intrinsic part of our lives, how we distribute information and how we transact. It is used for a variety of purposes, including: banking; home shopping; commercial trade - using EDI (Electronic Data Interchange); and to gather information for market research and other activities. Owing to its academic origins, the early developers of the Internet did not focus on security. However, now that it has rapidly evolved into an extensively used, global commercial transaction and distribution channel, security has become a big concern. Fortunately, the field of information security has started to evolve in response and is fast becoming an important discipline with a sound theoretical basis. The discipline views the twin processes of identification and authentication as crucial aspects of information security. An individual access attempt must be identifiable prior to access being authorised otherwise system confidentiality cannot be enforced nor integrity safeguarded. Similarly, non-denial becomes impossible to instigate since the system is unable to log an identity against specific transactions. Consequently, identification and authentication should always be viewed as the first step to successfully enforcing information security. The process of identification and authorisation is, in essence, the ability to prove or verify an identity. This is usually accomplished using either one or a combination of the following three traditional identification techniques: something you possess; something you know; or something you are. A critical consideration when designing an application is which identification method, or combination of methods, from the three described above to use. Each method offers its own pros and cons and there are many ways to compare and contrast them. The comparison made in this study identifies biometrics as the best solution in a distributed application environment. There are, however, two over-arching hindrances to its widespread adoption. The first is the environment’s complexity - with multiple applications being accessed by both the public and the private sectors - and the second is that not all biometrics are popular and no single method has universe appeal. The more significant hindrance of the two is the latter, that of acceptance and trust, because it matters little how good or efficient a system is if nobody is willing to use it. This observation suggests that the identification system needs to be made as flexible as possible. In a democratic society, it could be argued that the best way of ensuring the successful adoption of a biometric system would be to allow maximum freedom of choice and let users decide which biometric method they would like to use. Although this approach is likely to go a long way towards solving the acceptance issue, it increases the complexity of the environment significantly. This study attempts to solve this problem by reducing the environment’s complexity while simultaneously ensuring the user retains maximum biometric freedom of choice. This can be achieved by creating a number of central biometric repositories. Each repository would be responsible for maintaining a biometric template data store for a type of biometric. These repositories or “Biometric Authorities” would act as authentication facilitators for a wide variety of applications and free them from that responsibility.

Abstract:

In this thesis we are concerned with valuing options on traded accounts using both continuous and discrete time models. An option on a traded account is a zero strike call on the balance of a trading account which consists of a position of size $\theta$ in a risky asset (which we refer to as a stock) and the remaining wealth in a risk-free account. The choice of trading positions throughout the life of the option are made by the buyer, subject to constraints specified in the contract at the time of purchase. The specification of these trading constraints gives rise to some of the more well known examples including passport options and vacation options. At maturity, the option buyer is entitled to any positive wealth accumulated in the trading account whilst any losses are covered by the option seller. First, we examine the problem of valuing these options in continuous time. A review of some existing methods is presented, including a complete derivation of the pricing formula for the passport option and the option on a traded account following the methods proposed by Hyer et al. (1997) and Shreve and Vecer (2000), though we often use different techniques to those authors. We also present an alternative derivation for the value of a passport option using our own methodology which we believe is simpler than those currently available. Secondly, we consider the valuation problem in a discrete time setting by looking at one specific discrete time model, the binomial tree. This is a new contribution to the literature as binomial models for these options have not been previously examined. Using this approach, the greatest difficulty is the determination of an optimal trading strategy which is required to price this class of option. We show that in general, binomial models and continuous time models do not have the same trading strategy, and in fact that the analytic determination of the trading strategy for an option on a traded account may in fact be impossible to obtain. We then turn to passport options, where we are able to derive an analytic optimal strategy which in this case is identical to that used in the continuous time models, thus the problem of valuing passport options is reduced to the same computational burdens as a binomial valuation without recombining branches. Lastly, we examine some numerical methods which could be used to value options on traded accounts with binomial models. Our problem is shown to be an NP-hard convex maximisation which we convert into both an l1-norm convex maximisation and an indefinite quadratic program. Whilst we present algorithms which are guaranteed to obtain the optimal solution, they are also known to be inefficient and thus inappropriate for any likely application beyond a few time steps. We conclude by summarising our results and give directions for future research in this area.

O presente estudo tem como objetivo entender as crenças manifestadas por dois professores, dois coordenadores e dois alunos no que tange aos mitos do professor falante nativo (doravante PFN) no contexto do ensino de língua inglesa, bem como a forma que tais crenças dialogam com as demais vozes no nível macro (Bakhtin, [1979] 1997), e o discurso hegemônico que privilegia o PFN (Pennycook, 1998; Phillipson, 1992). A arquitetura teórica da pesquisa fundamenta-se na visão socioconstrucionista da linguagem (Bucholtz & Hall, 2005; Moita Lopes, 2001, 2003), entendendo a prática discursiva como um lócus para a revalidação ou o questionamento dos mitos do PFN (Langellier 2001; Moita Lopes, 2001; Threadgold, 2005). A análise micro baseia-se na identificação de marcas avaliativas, enfocadas sob duas perspectivas teóricas: a avaliação expressa por meio da prática narrativa (Bauman, 1986; Bruner, [1990]1997; Labov, 1972, Linde, 1993, 1997) e os recursos semânticos do Sistema de Avaliatividade (Martin & White, 2005; Vian Jr., 2009). A pesquisa insere-se no paradigma qualitativo interpretativo e a escolha dos participantes visou abranger perfis diferentes com eventuais perspectivas divergentes. As entrevistas semi estruturadas foram norteadas pela ótica de Mishler (1986), sendo que sua análise tanto assume como leva em consideração a inevitável influência das identidades da pesquisadora participante. A análise dos dados identifica que, durante a interação, julgamentos positivos de capacidade e normalidade recorrentemente permeiam supervalorizações do PFN, cujas identidades emergem a partir de uma construção binária entre o PFN e o professor falante não nativo (doravante PFNN), retratando o PFN como o padrão prestigiado, e o PFNN, como um desvio do modelo nativo dominante (Duszak, 2002; Nayar, 2002). Essas perspectivas se distanciam das críticas advindas da linguística aplicada no decorrer dos últimos anos, as quais problematizam o patamar ocupado pelo PFN (Canagarajah, 2007; Kumaravadivelu, 2006; Pennycook, 1998; Phillipson, 1992; Rajagopalan, 2003, 2009). Embora esta pesquisa tenha sido realizada com um grupo pequeno de participantes, a análise da entrevista sugere que os participantes se alinham com a manutenção do status quo convencional e indicam a importância de não apenas abrirmos espaço para discussão do tema, mas a necessidade de uma participação mais ativa por parte dos pesquisadores, a fim de a entrevista poder tornar-se um lócus para reflexões aprofundadas e possíveis transformações.
The objective of the present study is to understand the beliefs conveyed by two teachers, two co-ordinators and two students in relation to the myths of the native speaker teacher (henceforth NST) in the English language teaching context, as well as the way such beliefs engage with further voices on a macro level (Bakhtin, [1979]1997), and the hegemonic discourse which privileges the NST (Pennycook, 1998; Phillipson, 1992). The investigation s theoretical framework is based on a social construcionist view of language (Bucholtz & Hall, 2005; Moita Lopes, 2001, 2003), which understands discursive practice as a locus for either the revalidation or questioning of the myths of the NST (Langellier 2001; Moita Lopes, 2001; Threadgold, 2005). The micro analysis is based on the identification of evaluative resources, examined under two theoretical perspectives: evaluation expressed via narrative practice (Bauman, 1986; Bruner, [1990] 1997; Labov, 1972, Linde, 1993, 1997) and the semantic resources of the Appraisal System (Martin & White, 2005; Vian Jr., 2011). This research was conceptualised within the qualitative and interpretive paradigm, and the choice of participants aimed to encompass different profiles with possibly distinct perspectives. The semi-structured interviews were guided by the approach proposed by Mishler (1986), hence the analysis both recognises, as much as it takes into consideration, the unavoidable influence of the participant researcher s identities. The data anaylsis identifies that, during the interaction, positive judgements of capacity and normality permeate recurring supervaluations of the NST, whose identities emerge from a binary construction between the latter and the non native speaker teacher (henceforth NNST), painting the NST as the privileged standard and the NNST as a deviation from the dominant native model (Duszak, 2002; Nayar, 2002). Such perspectives find themselves at odds with critical approaches gaining force in the fieldof applied linguistics, which have problematized the pedestal occupied by the NST (Canagarajah, 2007; Kumaravadivelu, 2006; Pennycook, 1998; Phillipson, 1992; Rajagopalan, 2003, 2009). Although this research was carried out with a small group of participants, the interview analysis suggests that the participants align themselves with the maintenance of the conventional status quo, indicating the importance of not only opening up space for discussion of the theme, but the necessity for researchers to take up a more active role, in order for the interview to become a fruitful site for more considered reflections and possible reconstructions.
