Full textAbstract:
Thesis (Masters Diploma (Town and Regional Planning- Environmental Management))--Cape Technikon, Cape Town,1990This report proposes a strategy for the development Port Alfred situated on the south east coast of the Province, South Africa. of cape The proposed development strategy takes cognisance of the importance of integrating development harmoniously with the environment. The study is not related to any particular development proposal but is rather a guide to future development and the identification of potential environmental hazards. Moreover, it could serve as a set of guidelines for land use planning and management at the urban scale anywhere in South Africa. The evaluation methods used are adapted from widely acceptable analysis techniques and include a combination of both the matrix and the overlay or "sieve" method which graphically analyses physical attributes. The study eminates from the Port Alfred Municipality's concern that demand for development could destroy the town's environmental quality and historical character which are seen as major tourist attractions. The report is divided into two sections, the first being to acquaint the reader with the area, it's constraints and potential. section 1 critically evaluates the existing physical, socio-economic and cultural environments of the town. The second part of the report (Section 2), combines the analysis of the physical and socio-economic environments into an Urban structure Plan and management proposals which provide a basis for the spatial management and control of future land use development proposals. The management proposals are based on the Integrated Environmental Management procedure advocated by the council for the Environment which is adapted to suit local conditions and includes the use of a three stage "proposal call" system which is seen to ensure an equitable balance between the demand for development, public participation and conservation of the town's biotic and abiotic environments. The "proposal call" system has been successfully employed in the United states of America for some years and was adopted by the cape Town city council in 1985 for disposing of council-owned land in a manner most acceptable to itself and the community. By combining both the principle of Integrated Environmental Management and the "proposal call" system Port Alfred should be assured of a future planning strategy which will both enhance development and promote environmental conservation thereby assuring the maintenance of environmental quality.

Full textAbstract:
Since the study on the Port Alfred/Kenton-on-Sea/Boknes linefishery by Hecht and Tilney (1989) there have been substantive changes to the linefish management environment in South Africa. Using the Port Alfred linefishery as a model, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the linefish management regulations that were implemented by Marine and Coastal Management (MCM) since 1992, and to assess the behaviour and 'status' of the fishery in response to these changes. Changes to both the licensing structure and catch regulations have had a significant effect on the functioning of many aspects of the Port Alfred linefishery (fishing effort, catch composition, cpue) as well as on the structure of the fishery and its socio-economic profile. Overall commercial cpue decreased from 1985 to 1998. Since 1998 there has been a significant increase in cpue (from 2.3 Kg.fisher⁻¹ hour⁻¹ to a peak of 4.8 Kg.fisher⁻¹.hour⁻¹ in 2005. This was attributed to good catches of geelbek, particularly in 2005, 2007 and 2008 (during these years geelbek contributed an average of 35% to the total landings in comparison to a mean contribution of II % between 1985 and 2004). However, size spectra analysis suggests that the increase in overall cpue since 1998 misrepresents the actual status of the fishery. If geelbek is excluded from the analysis on the grounds that it is the only species in the fishery that is highly migratory, susceptible to recruitment fluctuations and it does not contribute to the catches on a year round basis, then the results suggest that the fishery is still in a declining phase despite the 80% reduction in commercial effort and numerous stricter catch regulations (e.g. size/bag limits). Furthermore, the cpue of silver kob, which has been the "mainstay" species of the fishery, has consistently declined over the last 23 year period (from 1.69 Kg.fisher⁻1 .hour1 in 1986 to 0.86 Kg.fisher⁻1.hour⁻1in 2007). The substantial reduction in commercial effort in the fishery from 33 vessels in 2001 to 13 in 2002 resulted in a shift from commercial to recreational fishing. The number of active commercial vessels in Port Alfred alone decreased from 29 in 1989 (Hecht 1993) to four in 2008. During the same timeframe, the number of regularly active recreational vessels had almost doubled (16 in 1989 to 26 in 2008). Despite the greater number of recreational boats in the fishery they only landed approximately half the average yearly tonnage of the commercial vessels (21,5 and 44,7 tonnes,annum-I , respectively) between 2006 and 2008, This was ascribed to the differences in catch regulations for the two sectors, Furthermore, it was speculated that increasing operating costs and narrowing profit margins have contributed to lower levels of compliance in both the commercial and recreational sectors since 2006, For example, 16% of silver kob landed during 2006-08 were under the minimum size, Despite the changes made to the regulations since 1998 and the 60,6% reduction In legislated commercial effort in the fishery between 2001 and 2002 it was concluded that the fishery has continued to decline, Except for the good recruitment of geelbek (which may be due to regulatory changes made in 1992) the changes in the management environment have had no measurable positive effect on this fishery, It is recommended that commercial effort should not be allowed to increase beyond the current number of active boats, that there should be an area restriction on all commerciallinefish vessels, that the current recreational bag limit for silver kob should be re-assessed, there should also be a concerted and nationally funded effort to educate recreational anglers about the merits of catch and release, and the frequency of catch inspections of both sectors should be increased,KMBT_363

Full textAbstract:
Ichthyoplankton dynamics in the permanently open Kowie Estuary, in the warm temperate region of South Africa was investigated. The composition, abundance, distribution and seasonality of larval fishes were studied over a two year period between 2004 and 2006. Additionally, tidal exchange of ichthyoplankton and the use of frontal zones in the mouth region of the estuary were also explored between 2008 and 2009. Temporal and spatial trends in occurrence of larval fishes within the estuary and associated marina were obtained from data collected seasonally using boat-based plankton netting at 14 sampling stations along the length of the estuary. A total of 11 128 larval fishes were collected, representing 23 families and 38 taxa. Clupeidae and Gobiidae were the dominant fish families, contributing 47.0 % and 24.7 % respectively to the total catch. Estuarine resident species dominated the overall catch (91 %). A notable absence of older stage larvae and early juveniles characterised the artificial channels of the marina and estuary mouth region. This was attributed to the absence of a shallow, marginal water habitat typical of successful estuarine nursery areas. Tidal exchange of larval fishes was investigated in the Kowie Estuary using a new technique. A set of drifting light traps were set repetitively on the ebb and flood tide every second night for two consecutive 14 day periods during the peak estuarine recruitment period. A total of 553 larval fishes were caught during the study, representing nine families and 26 species. Blenniidae and Clupeidae dominated the catches. Family and species occurrence changed with tide state. Species richness (d) and diversity (H’) varied with tide and was highest on flood tides. Estuary-dependent species, such as Omobranchus woodii were more dominant on flood tides, whilst larvae of marine-spawned species, such as Sardinops sagax, were dominant on the ebb tide. Light trap catches yielded a different composition in terms of development stage / size and species, when compared to towed net studies. Towed plankton nets were again used to study the shear fronts that characterise the mouth region of the canalised Kowie Estuary. It was hypothesised that the convergence zone of the front provides feeding opportunities for ichthyoplankton. Ichthyoplankton, zooplankton and phytoplankton was collected from within and immediately outside of the convergence zone during frontal conditions. Species specific distribution trends emerged from this study. Postflexion larvae and early juvenile stages of the estuary dependent Mugilidae were only present in the foam line of the convergence zones. Some known predators of ichthyoplankton were also present in slightly higher numbers in the convergence zone (isopods) while other predators such as mysid shrimps, chaetognaths and cnidarians were more abundant out of the convergence zone. It appears that these zones may provide access to temporary food patches in the lower estuary but will be accompanied by a trade-off with increased isopod predators. The Kowie Estuary is a heavily impacted system and lack of adequate freshwater supply; artificial channelling and pollution ultimately have a negative impact of the success of this system as a nursery area. Rehabilitation of marginal areas in the lower estuary and marina is suggested as remedial action to re-establish the integrity of the nursery function this system could offer.

Full textAbstract:
The problem that was chosen to be investigated, was that, within the white middle class South African white-collar worker there appears to be a tendency to live for the "pie in the sky" - which for most seems to be retirement to the idyllic cottage by the sea. Within the South African scenario, there seems to be a definite lack of career planning or at least planning for retirement, other than the financial emphasis. Upon reaching the "ultimate" retirement, retirees take their pension money and move to the coast, expecting pure bliss. The result of their lack of forethought is that they settle in a totally different climate, away from the support of family and friends, possibly finding their income inadequate, with the result that many fall seriously ill, and then discover a lack of geriatric care or a hospital at the time in their lives when they need it the most. The aim of the research was to investigate these issues using a specific location - Port Alfred, researching the fact that Port Alfred continues to be a retirement haven, despite appearing to lack the necessary facilities required by the elderly. The method of the research was to initially administer a pilot questionnaire to a few elderly residents at random, which was then followed up by the formal personally administered questionnaire to a sample. The sample of retired elderly residents in Port Alfred was chosen at random primarily from the various old age homes in Port Alfred. This questionnaire was administered in 1983 but due to financial and personal reasons, the results were not written up. In 1990, the research was continued with a further questionnaire being administered in 1991. The research direction was altered slightly to identify not only what resources were felt to be lacking, but also to identify how well the retired persons of Port Alfred had managed their transition to retirement. The results showed some similarity between the 1983 and the 1991 research. On the surface the retirees appeared well-adjusted and content, but when it was delved deeper, they appeared to have opted out of making any great effort to change their situation, but rather had taken the view that they had earned their rest, would make the best of what they had, and leave it to someone else to champion their cause. This meant that they relied heavily upon those in their community to meet their obvious needs. The promised hospital that they had arduously raised funds for had not materialised, and that seemed to have been the last effort that they had been prepared to make, they were now at rest. The conclusion was that, although the retirees had made the best of their situation, this definitely did not mean that their resources were adequate. Various charities and social services were at work in the community to redress the imbalance, but it was felt that these would in turn benefit by the addition of a social worker. This social worker would coordinate these services and take responsibility for the community at large, particularly addressing the need to unify the services with those to the large non-White community, in the (on-going) development of the New South Africa

Full textAbstract:
The presence of a semi-permanent upwelling cell, with a surface expression more than 40 % of the time has previously been described inshore of the Agulhas Current in the vicinity of Port Alfred, South Africa. This study employs a combination of in-situ mooring data, hydrographic cruises and satellite remote sensing in order to investigate the nature and variability of this upwelling cell, as well as to investigate possible driving mechanisms. The study takes place over a period of 11 months. Special focus is given to the subsurface variability due to its possible implications for the greater Agulhas Bank environment. Upwelled water was found to be present on the shelf 85% of the time, highlighting the importance of subsurface variability in this area. The main timescales of variability were observed at 50-70 days, 8-12 days and 4-6 days. Upwelling was found to be maintained by continuous processes, driven by the interaction of the Agulhas Current with the changing bathymetry at Port Alfred. This upwelling is modulated by the effects of mesoscale features on the inshore edge of the current. While not a primary driver of upwelling, wind events were observed to have an effect on inshore bottom temperatures as well as the surface expression of the upwelling cell. A high degree of variability in was observed, with bottom temperatures at three mooring site fluctuating through a range of approximately 10° C. Future directions include further theoretical and idealised modeling studies to separate out the exact mechanisms of topographically driven, site-specific upwelling. The range of mesoscale interactions of the Agulhas Current with the shelf circulation also require further observational study.

Full textAbstract:
Estuaries serve as nursery areas for a large number of estuary-associated fish species. Some of these taxa also use river catchments as nursery areas. During the upstream migration of this latter group, the juveniles are prone to predation by native and alien predatory fish inhabiting the system. The rate of invasion of ecosystems by alien organisms can be directly linked to anthropogenic influences, including both intentional and unintentional introductions by alien organisms into new regions. The largemouth bass, Micropterus salmoides, is a facultative piscivorous fish that has been successfully introduced worldwide for the main purpose of sport fishing. Where introduced, it has been found to negatively impact native fish and invertebrate species through predation, competitive exclusion and displacement of indigenous fish species. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the predatory impact of largemouth bass on the estuary-associated Cape moony Monodactylus falciformis, Cape stumpnose Rhabdosargus holubi and freshwater mullet Myxus capensis in the lower Kowie River of the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. A combination of approaches was employed during this study. Stomach contents, stable isotopes and fatty acid analyses were employed for the reconstruction of the diet of largemouth bass. Acoustic telemetry was used to elucidate largemouth bass movements, particularly their ability to enter the upper reaches of the Kowie Estuary. Stomach contents and stable isotopes analyses showed that M. salmoides exhibit an ontogenic shift in diet, with small and medium sized individuals consuming the higher proportion of fish prey, while large sized individuals mostly consumed invertebrates such as crabs (Potamonautes sidneyi) and Odonata larvae, while consuming only a small proportion of estuary-associated fish. Fatty acid analysis only showed a direct connection between the fatty acid profiles of largemouth bass and those of M. capensis and M. falciformis. The acoustic telemetry results indicated that some M. salmoides individuals periodically move into the upper reaches of the estuary following river flood events. The results obtained from all these approaches highlight the risk posed by largemouth bass introductions on indigenous fish species, particularly those that enter the areas occupied by these top predators.

"The impact of labour laws on small firms : a study of employer perceptions of the Labour Relations Act (66 of 1995) and the Basic Conditions of Employment Act (75 of 1997) in Grahamstown, Port Alfred and Port Elizabeth." Thesis, Rhodes University, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/10962/d1012953.
Full textAbstract:
This study sought to explore and explain the impact of labour laws on small firms, focusing on employer perceptions of the Labour Relations Act of 1995 and the Basic Conditions of Employment Act of 1997 in three towns of the Eastern Cape. It is important to focus on this impact of labour laws on these firms because of the high unemployment that faces the country. In this regard, it must be emphasised, firstly, that small firms are central to job creation; therefore, they contribute to a reduction in the unemployment rate; hence, the strategies created by the government to reduce any burdens (including regulatory burdens) on small firms. It is therefore important to study the impact of labour law on small businesses in order to assess the regulatory burden on small firms. The theoretical framework which underpins this study on the impact of labour law on small firms arises from the neo-corporatist critique of neo-liberalism. The two frameworks maintain the extent to which the government should intervene in the industrial relations system. Liberalism maintains that there should be a minimum role of the government, which involves only the facilitation of a framework for negotiations between employers and employees. Corporatism, however, maintains a social democratic approach, and holds that there should be an active role of the government in the industrial relations system with business, labour and the state working co-operatively (Klerck, 2009). This theoretical framework therefore shapes the extent to which employers perceive labour laws or state’s regulatory role impacts small businesses. The data was collected through the qualitative inquiry; using face-to-face, semi-structured interviews. The findings in this study included negative employer perceptions of labour laws. More specifically, many of the employers that were interviewed claimed that labour laws were burdensome on their businesses. They claimed that labour laws imposed financial and administrative costs to their firms, negatively affected the employer-employee relationships in these firms as well as the employing decisions of the employers. As a result, the employers saw labour laws as undermining flexibility and imposing unfair rigidities on small firms. Furthermore, employers perceived South African labour laws as not addressing the unique iii circumstances of small firms. They maintained that labour laws treated small firms similarly to large firms. Even though the employers held these perceptions of labour laws, it was evident that these subjective perceptions did not reflect the objective impact of labour laws on small firms. This was firstly related to the fact that many of the employers that were interviewed had negative views of labour laws but these views were not substantiated by particular events in their firms. Secondly, it was revealed that the employers’ perceptions of labour laws were based on their misconception or misunderstanding of labour law. Thirdly, it was revealed in this thesis that small firms were not affected in the same way to big firms by labour regulation. This was related to the fact that many of the small firms’ employers that were interviewed tended to be less concerned by regulation. Specifically, although many employers that were interviewed claimed that labour laws were burdensome on their firms it was evident that regulation was avoided because of the informality that characterised these firms. Consequently informality mediated the impact of labour laws on these firms, and labour laws imposed less ‘costs’ on these firms. However, it cannot be argued that small firms are isolated from the sphere of labour laws. Rather, although these firms were governed by regulation it was found that the extent to which employers complied with regulation depended on the extent to which organisational practice already reflected similarity with the legislative objective.Acrobat PDFMaker 10.1 for Word

Questa tesi di laurea comincia dallo studio delle modalità attraverso cui, nel secondo dopoguerra, si è deciso di gestire la ricostruzione all’interno del tessuto storico del capoluogo emiliano.
Il fine è capire se le ricostruzioni si rapportano e si inseriscono all’interno del tessuto edilizio storico, alle sue caratteristiche e peculiarità, ricucendolo là dove la guerra l’aveva interrotto.
Definiti quadro e contesto di riferimento, si sono delineati i protagonisti della ricostruzione bolognese.
Primo tra tutti emerge Alfredo Barbacci, Soprintendente ai Monumenti dell’Emilia, il cui ruolo inevitabilmente lo fa entrare nel vivo della vicenda. In carica all’epoca della guerra (e dunque dei bombardamenti), è coinvolto fin dai primi momenti di pace nella gestione della ricostruzione. La sua militanza, a partire dagli anni Sessanta, nei confronti della tutela dell’ambiente costruito, quanto di quello naturale, ha spinto la ricerca ad indagare se, e in che modo, questa sua “militanza” abbia legami con la Ricostruzione bolognese, ed approdare infine a considerazioni più ampie sull’origine della frattura legislativo disciplinare tra tutela e gestione del paesaggio.

Alfred Stieglitz and the members of '291' are most often remembered in the art historical literature for introducing modernism into America through the work of European artists and through the integration of current European formal experiments into the work of American artists. While some authors have referred to the fact that this modernism, as presented by 291, was intended to critique society, any analysis of that critique is conspicuously missing. Also absent is an analysis of what one contemporary critic referred to as the "queer symbolism lurking at the Post-Impressionist hypothesis." In this thesis the following questions are asked: what was 291's critique and why did they insist upon the expression of the 'irrational' states of the psyche — passion, intuition and imagination, in their art. By situating 291 within its particular set of contexts I attempt to explain what their position represented — to the members themselves and to their rivals.Arts, Faculty of

Il nous a semblé qu’il fallait sortir des sentiers battus de la méthodologie littéraire. L’étude en profondeur des oeuvres de Jarry, Segalen et Suarès, écrites dans une France chatouillée par les inquiétudes régionalistes, bouleversée par la naissance de l’anthropologie, habillée aux couleurs de la mode des peintres de Pont-Aven, a fait émerger la Bretagne comme une figure clé. Une première partie analyse la place occupée par la Bretagne dans leur biographie. Les chapitres composant la deuxième partie de notre travail, abordent la survivance de l’imaginaire celtique et de l’univers légendaire breton dans leurs oeuvres. La troisième partie s’intéresse plus particulièrement à tous les événements qui ont poussé les trois écrivains à rêver de l’extra-muros et à établir un lien entre la Chine et la BretagneCatalogs, textbooks (manual workers) and dictionaries persist in separating writers and literary creation, in structuring every author remotely. It seemed to us that it was necessary to take out beaten tracks of the literary methodology. The study in depth of the works of Jarry, Segalen and Suarès, written in France tickled by the “regionalistic” anxieties, upset by the birth of the anthropology, dressed in the colors of the fashion of the painters of Pont-Aven, brought to the foreground Brittany as a key figure. A first part (party) analyzes the place occupied by Brittany in their biography. Chapters composing the second part of our work, approach the survival of the Celtic imagination and the Breton legendary universe on their works.

El Virus del Papiloma Humano (VPH o HPV) es una familia de virus que afecta muy frecuentemente a los seres humanos, en su gran mayoría a mujeres. Este virus es el precursor del cáncer de cuello uterino que es una de las neoplasias más frecuentes y letales. En Argentina y como en otros países subdesarrollados las cifras de incidencia de lesiones de cuello uterino son mucho más elevadas, ya que está estrechamente asociado a la pobreza. La gran mayoría de las veces, la infección por VPH se cura sola, de manera espontánea, sobre todo en las mujeres menores de 25 años sexualmente activas, sin producir ningún síntoma ni manifestación en el cuerpo. Los exámenes normalmente tienden a estar vinculados a los programas de planificación familiar entre mujeres menores de 25 años sin contemplar la franja de edad de los 25 a 60 años que es donde se produce la mayor incidencia de la enfermedad. En la actualidad su detección es muy fácil y existen métodos educativos y preventivos igualmente accesibles. Este trabajo de investigación tiene como objetivo determinar cuál es el grado de conocimiento que tienen las mujeres de 20 a 40 años, sexualmente activas, que concurren al consultorio de Patología Cervical del Hospital Perrupato sobre el Virus Papiloma Humano en el primer semestre del 2012.Fil: Aballay, Pablo.

The task was inserted in a field without immediate tradition on the graphic work in Mallorca, which practically went missing after the important Guasp printing house closed down. It has been possible to document more than 400 blocks and, at the same time, the prints of those which add up to 600 prints on chalcography, xylography, serigraphy and lithography.

Full textAbstract:
M.A. (Political Studies)This dissertation investigates theoretical aspects of the mobilisational strategies of the African National Congress and its surrogate organisations within the context of the development of their strategic doctrine and utilises the townships of Port Alfred and Cradock as examples. The study focuses on the mechanisms utilised by the African National Congress to mobilise support for its programme during the period 1980-1988. This thesis argues that the activities and actions of the ANC which took place in certain select areas in the Eastern Cape Region of the Republic of South Africa can be correctly described as a People's War insurgency. It examines the concept of People's War within the context of revolutionary warfare or insurgency and identifies the essential characteristics of this doctrine. It then examines the development of the military doctrine of the African National Congress and traces the various strategic influences which have shaped ANC military thinking. It counterpoises the development of ANC People's War doctrines against the model of People's War as formulated by Mao and the Vietnamese theorists. The ANC's People's War doctrine is examined within the context of the various mobilisational, military and organisational mechanisms employed in the townships. These are in turn examined within the framework of the specific township examples selected in the Eastern Cape region. The military dimension of ANC People's War strategy is explained and the reasons for its failure examined. The counter-strategy of the RSA Government is also briefly examined. Conclusions about the changing face of ANC strategy are drawn in the final chapter and the various hypothesis propounded in this dissertation are concluded

Full textAbstract:
It is a widely acknowledged fact that women’s access to the full rights of citizenship in the liberal state is restricted because of their unequal responsibility for childcare. The South African state, however, despite its theoretical commitment to gender equality, has failed substantially to engage with the issue of childcare and women’s citizenship. This is problematic because in failing to envisage a role for itself in supporting women with their responsibility for childcare, the state has not only neglected its Constitutional commitments to gender equality, but it has also failed to realise the benefits that could potentially accrue to children if women’s access to economic citizenship is not hampered by childcare. Recognising this problem, this thesis attempts to engender some debate as to how the South African state could feasibly correct this failure. In doing so, it uses feminist political theory as a basis and takes a critical view of the two childcare policies that have dominated the debate over women’s citizenship and childcare in Western liberal democracies – socialised care and the neofamilialist model. In concluding it attempts to provide an idea of what feasible, state-based childcare policies could look like in present-day South Africa.

A avaliação de uma empresa pode ser realizada de diferentes formas e, consoante o método utilizado, o resultado obtido pode diferir. Para empresas que se encontrem ainda numa fase inicial da sua atividade, a sua avaliação revela-se ainda mais complexa devido à escassa informação sobre estes negócios. Com a massificação das tecnologias, a criação de negócios com base em inovações tecnológicas é cada vez mais recorrente nas diferentes economias e desta forma, tem-se assistido ao aparecimento de diversas empresas startups em que o seu financiamento está ao alcance de qualquer pessoa: por esse motivo, a avaliação de empresas startups torna-se uma necessidade imperativa e a escolha do método mais apropriado à sua avaliação, imprescindível para os investidores.
O presente documento foi realizado no âmbito do estágio curricular, realizado na empresa Fonte-Online, com o objetivo de avaliar um dos seus novos negócios. O trabalho incidiu sobre a pesquisa bibliográfica sobre três diferentes métodos de avaliação: Discounted Cash Flow, opções reais e múltiplos. Após a pesquisa bibliográfica, considerou-se o método de Discounted Cahs Flow como sendo o mais adequado a usar na avaliação da startup em causa e o método de avaliação por múltiplos como um complemento importante na avaliação global do negócio.
Apesar de se atribuir um valor de mercado ao negócio, é precipitado considerar esse valor como o correto, dada a incerteza que este tipo de negócios apresenta. Apenas a evolução da atividade do negócio poderá revelar se um possível investimento é acertado e se esta avaliação deverá ser utilizada como uma estimativa do potencial do negócio, sendo muitas vezes a intuição do investidor a condicionar a decisão final.There are several ways to value a firm, and according to the method used the obtained result can differ. For companies that still are in an earlier stage of their activity, the valuing challenge can be even more complex due to the lack of information that these companies have available. With the massification of technologies, the creation of new businesses based on those innovative technologies is even more frequent in all main economies and so we are able to assist to the appearance of different companies considered as startups and that its funding it is within the reach of anyone: for these reason, the valuation of startups companies becomes an imperative necessity and the choice of the most appropriate method for their valuation reveals to be essential for investors. The study has been made within the internship in Fonte-Online, with the aim to access on of their projects. The main focus was on the bibliographic research of three different methods of valuation: Discount Cash Flow, Real Options and Relative Valuations. After analysing main differentiated factors of the business, this study proves its importance to find the best method to assign a market value. After the bibliographic research, the discount cash flow method has been considered has the suitable in terms of valuation and the relative valuation as a complementary method. Although a market value for the business was reached, it is hard to accept that value as correct, due to the uncertainty that this type of business has. Only the evolution of the company thru time will allow to find out if a possible investment was a correct one. This valuation should only be used has estimate of the potential success that company may lead and, has in many cases, the final decisions should rely on the investor feelings of the future path.

A obra de Alfredo de Freitas Branco (Visconde do Porto da Cruz) cruza diferentes
fases da sua vida, reflectindo, por isso, vários aspectos relacionados com as suas vivências.
Sendo autor de uma vasta obra, fazem parte da sua bibliografia textos de diferentes
temáticas e de estilos literários diversos, entre os quais, romances, novelas, contos, teatro, biografias, memórias, política, etnografia e estudos da natureza.
Neste estudo, procuramos em linhas gerais, apresentar o seu percurso político e
ideológico, no qual se inclui o Integralismo Lusitano, de modo a compreendermos o seu
pensamento e compromisso com a sociedade do seu tempo.
Fazemos uma breve abordagem à sua criação literária, marcada pela conjuntura
histórica da época e destacamos a sua intensa actividade, como jornalista, fundador de revistas e de jornais, conferencista e membro de várias Associações culturais.
Analisamos o seu percurso de vida, verificando que sempre se mostrou empenhado
em dar a conhecer as suas raízes culturais e interessado em tudo o que representava o
progresso do arquipélago, quer propondo ideias inovadoras, quer promovendo a Madeira,
no território continental e no estrangeiro.
O cerne deste trabalho foi investigar a sua obra, numa vertente cultural, observando o
importante contributo no estudo, promoção e preservação da nossa memória cultural de
madeirenses, através das recolhas que fez sobre múltiplos aspectos da cultura popular do meio insular, das diversas manifestações culturais do povo, nos seus usos e costumes, das danças, às músicas, ao traje, à alimentação, à medicina popular, às suas crenças e superstições. Observámos ainda os seus estudos do nosso património material, nos seus diversos monumentos; das artes visuais e da promoção dos artistas e intelectuais madeirenses que se evidenciaram na época.
Este estudo propõe, também, algumas estratégias para dar a conhecer à comunidade
uma parte da obra do Visconde do Porto da Cruz e despertar o interesse no estudo da
mesma, a qual permanece ainda na penumbra.

Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Arquitectura, apresentada ao Departamento de Arquitectura da Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia da Universidade de Coimbra.O abandono de alguns edifícios do século 20 juntamente com a atual vontade de restituição das maternidades aos hospitais perfazem os motivos da criação deste trabalho. Esta dissertação pretende mostrar o valor arquitectónico inerente às maternidades assim como refletir acerca do futuro deste tipo de estruturas, numa altura em que atravessam um destino incerto levantado pela contenção de custos gerado pela crise económica existente no país. Projeto então um emprego possível à maternidade existente em Coimbra, Bissaya Barreto, que preserva na sua estrutura novas normas higienistas e o culminar do sonho do médico promotor que dá o nome a esta. A partir do estudo dos modelos arquitectónicos de duas outras maternidades antecedentes a esta de Coimbra, pretendo aferir quais as características que lhe conferem modernidade. Debruça-se por isso este trabalho também no estudo da maternidade Doutor Alfredo da Costa, em Lisboa e Júlio Dinis, no Porto. De modo a manter a assinatura do arquiteto Carlos Ramos e a memória deste inovador complexo dos anos 60, estudo uma utilização viável ao quarteirão no contexto da cidade universitária a partir de um equipamento que se molde ao uso diário dos residentes na cercania reutilizando as instalações da maternidade. Esta investigação vai por isso permitir a compreensão do aparecimento e do desenvolvimento da estrutura Maternidade e questionar o seu futuro, apresentando uma alternativa à sua demolição e abandono.
The continuous desertion of some buildings of the 20th century combined by the restitution of the ancient maternities to the hospitals is the main goal of this scientific research. This dissertation aims to question what is the value of the maternities, as well as what is the best option for their future, in the present time where some of this structures are getting closed facing different destinies. I pretend to model one possible path to the one existing in Coimbra, Bissaya Barreto maternity, that accomplish in its structures new hygienist thoughts as well as the tail-end of the doctor that boosted it. Enumerating two other previous maternities I am able, through the study of their architectural conception, to understand in what ways the modern thought was evident in the one in Coimbra. So, this dissertation also absorb the deep study of the first two built from scratch maternities, the Doutor Alfredo da Costa, in Lisbon, and the Julio Dinis, in Oporto. In a way to maintain a signature of an architect, Carlos Ramos, along with the memory of the innovating structures of the sixties I studied what was the best use in the concept of the University City. Therefore I try to provide new habits for the area more related with the people that nowadays live in the vicinity out of the appropriation of the maternity assemblies. This document allows the comprehension of the appearance as well as the development of the building Maternity and question what is it future, creating an alternative way for the demolition of patrimony that is not yet recognized.
