This thesis presents a theoretical foundation and methodology for designing novel 4-coil high frequency coreless power transformers from first principles via lumped equivalent circuit models. The procedure is applied to construct a design for 100W transformer with an S21 parameter value of .96. Using MATLAB and LTspice, simulation tools have been developed to produce accurate predictions of inductance, resistance, coupling coefficients, and S21 parameter values for an ensemble of coil models. These theoretical calculations have been employed for spiral and cylindrical coils and have been validated with numerous constructed experimental designs. The utility uses a first principles approach and derives these calculations directly from the physical parameters and relative positions of the coils. Simulation outputs greatly aid the engineering task of designing an efficient coreless power transformer.

Abstract:

The demand for high power proton beams is at an all time high. The global community has identified many applications ranging from spallation sources, material irradiation facilities and secondary beams factories to accelerator driven systems for energy production, transmutation of waste or production of tritium. The typical path to high power beams involves the use of a linac at least in the lower energy stages. For high intensity, high power operation, significant developments are needed particularly in the linac section and the front end of the machine. Consequently, this thesis brings original contributions in tackling several limiting aspects to do with two major pillars of high power operation in linacs: energy and intensity. One of the major decisions in any linac design concerns the choice of normal accelerating structures. The general aim of every designer is to find the optimal path to the final energy without compromising the beam quality or increasing excessively the structure complexity. In the absence of a much needed comparative assessment of accelerating cavities, this choice was often made based on available local expertise rather than solid reasoning. This problem is tackled at length in two chapters of this thesis in which a framework is created for a methodical examination of available structures. The result is the first systematic analysis of normal conducting structures for proton acceleration which includes beam dynamics, electromagnetic, mechanical, thermal and vacuum aspects of cavity design. On the intensity side, several innovative developments have arisen through involvement in the Front End Test Stand Project (FETS) and the ISIS linac upgrade efforts. Beam dynamics studies for the Medium Energy Beam Transport line (MEBT) of FETS, as well as an analysis of several other MEBT designs for existing international projects, highlighted the difficulty in reducing beam loss and emittance growth in high current MEBT lines incorporating beam choppers. Through end-to-end tracking studies, it was shown that the initial beam quality produced in the MEBT will heavily influence the emittance evolution, halo development and beam loss in subsequent structures. As a result, a novel distributed MEBT design is proposed as an alternative, allowing better matching and chopping as well as higher intensity, lossless operation. Further downstream, the beam quality is not only affected by initial mismatch and MEBT beam quality, but by the choice of operating points as well. Theoretical work developed over the last two decades indicate that safe tunes outside conventional equipartitioning limits can be found, but the lack of experimental verification remains a problem. This problem was tackled through an experimental campaign at J-PARC, where for the first time emittance exchange driven by the kz/kt = 2 resonance was measured in a linac with emittance ratios close to 1. Finally, these principles are applied to the design of a future upgrade of the ISIS linac. Three linac options have been developed accelerating the beam to 100, 180 and 800 MeV opening the possibility of MW-level operation in ISIS.

Abstract:

The growth of renewable generation (and wind generation in particular) in distribution networks is leading to the development of Active Network Management (ANM) strategies and solutions. ANM systems aim to increase the capacity of renewable and distributed generation that can connect to power networks. One such ANM strategy is generation curtailment where distributed generation is given a non-firm connection under which the network operator instructs the generator to reduce its power output under specified conditions and this is practically achieved through the implementation of automatic controls in the ANM system. The rules which define the method of curtailment are often referred to as Principles of Access (PoA). The UK is currently at the forefront of ANM research and there are a number of full scale trials in Orkney [1], Shetland [2] and Cambridgeshire [3]. All of these schemes will apply PoA for curtailment of wind generators. There has been little research undertaken to date on alternative PoA for non-firm wind generation other than those implemented in these trial schemes. This research performs a qualitative analysis of PoA using industry recognised assessment criteria, and a quantitative analysis of PoA using an Optimal Power Flow (OPF) method. Business models present a means of recovering the costs of ANM and compares this to the cost of traditional methods of network reinforcement. Alternative PoA can have a significant impact on the capacity factor of generators and a PoA which implements a market system is found to deliver the best result for both network and generator. Alternatively, PoA which distribute curtailment more evenly across generators such as Pro Rata provide an increase in capacity factor for generators lower in the priority stack under a LIFO arrangement.

Abstract:

Most large enterprises are facing numerous challenges concerning their information systems, IS, and information and communication technology, ICT. Today, many enterprises employ a considerable number of applications that often have redundant functionality. There is also a large diversification in the ICT products and technologies employed. Further, integration costs are a major issue in almost all acquisition projects and many enterprises experience a lack of data quality and information security. The list of IS/ICT management challenges can be made much longer. At most enterprises, IS/ICT decisions are made by autonomous business units. In order to change the situation described above and build a more cost-effective IS/ICT environment, all business units need to make consistent IS/ICT decisions. Distributed and consistent decisions can only be made if the decision maker knows which decisions to make and why he/she needs to make them. The latter can be described by the target architecture for the whole enterprise IS/ICT, the information needed to conduct the business and its relationship to the business processes and business organization together with the benefits that the target architecture provides to the business. Which decisions to make are formulated into architectural principles, i.e. rules that express how your enterprise needs to design and deploy IS/ICT. The present thesis is a composite thesis including eight papers. The first four papers describe the reference model for IS/ICT management responsibilities that is one of the outcomes of the present research. Two different surveys have been performed in order to find out what the major IS/ICT management challenges are. The first survey was answered by 62 Swedish Chief Information Officers, CIOs, from large private enterprises as well as municipalities. The second survey was answered by twelve CIO’s from the European electric power industry. In the fifth paper, one of the IS/ICT management responsibilities, i.e. data quality, is used to illustrate how the IS/ICT manager’s responsibilities can be decomposed into measurable units. Over 70 respondents were used in order to perform an enterprise- wide measurement of the data quality at a Swedish insurance company. The last three papers are devoted to architectural principles. Architectural principles are introduced and guidelines on how to define and manage them are proposed in the sixth paper. The guidelines have been used in a review of Vattenfall’s architectural principles. In the last two papers, architectural principles and the reference model are combined in a methodology for assessing the enterprise architecture. The methodology has been used in two different case studies, one at Vattenfall and one at Scania. In both case studies multiple information systems were assessed from many different viewpoints resulting in that many respondents were interviewed.

Abstract:

This thesis focuses on the creation of private environmental and social regulation through the interaction of non-state actors in the US market for gold jewellery. By investigating the role of business actors in the development of private regulation through their cooperation and contestation with civil society activists, this study brings a business power lens to the study of non-state institution-building. It focuses on a new case and elaborates on current understandings of ‘industry opportunity structures’ (IOSs), taking a model built for the study of social movements and applying it to business actors. It seeks to treat agents from the private sector as political actors in their own right and traces the effects of industry structures on the emergence, development, and impact of the political mobilisation of ethical, specialty, and diversified jewellers. It argues that business actors face different opportunities for political leverage during the private institution-building process depending on the nature of the firm within which they are embedded. It helps explain the variation observed in firm responses to activist contestation while informing debates over the broader implications of the increasing emergence of private regulation in the global economy. Business actors are embedded agents, subject to the constraints of industry structures and market forces. Opportunities for business actors to mobilise firm resources for political purposes varies with the opportunity window available to them, which expands or contracts with the politicisation of the market. Therefore, contrary to previous interpretations, civil society contestation can actually empower institutional entrepreneurs from the private sector to shape the regulatory landscape. While market forces privilege ‘business interests’, and business power safeguards the autonomy of industry, through learning and leadership there appears to be a cumulative effect to contentious politics that has the potential to ratchet-up private regulation in both its depth and breadth of coverage.

Abstract:

The objective of this project is to present a Lithium Ion battery voltage model derived using systems engineering principles. This paper will describe the details of the model and the implementation of the model in practical use in a power system. Additionally, the model code is described and results of the model output are compared to battery cell test data. Finally, recommendations for increased model fidelity and capability are summarized. The modeling theory has been previously documented in the literature but detailed implementation and application of the modeling theory is shown. The detailed battery cell test voltage profiles are proprietary; as such this project will not include axis values, often used in presentation of proprietary data in the public domain. The objective of this presentation is still achieved, as the modeling implementation and results are clearly demonstrated.

Full text

Abstract:

The need for micropropulsion solutions for spacecraft has been steadily increasing as scientific payloads require higher accuracy maneuvers and as the use of small form-factor spacecraft such as CubeSats becomes more common. Of the technologies used for this purpose, electrospray thrusters offer performance that make them an ideal choice. Electrosprays offer high accuracy impulse bits at low power and high efficiency, and have low volume requirements. Design choice reasoning and preliminary testing results are presented for two electrospray thruster designs. The first thruster, named the Demonstration thruster, is operated in atmospheric conditions and serves as a highly visible example of the basic concepts of electrospray technology applied to micropropulsion. It features a single capillary needle emitter and the acetone propellant flow is driven actively by a syringe pump. The second thruster, named the Research thruster, is operated in the vacuum environment and is designed for modularity for its expected use in future research efforts. Propellant flow is also driven actively using a syringe pump. Initial configuration of the Research thruster is a linear array of five capillary needle emitters, though testing is conducted with only one emitter in this thesis. Tests using un-doped glycerol and sodium iodide doped glycerol (20% by weight) are conducted for the Research thruster. Both thruster designs use stainless steel 18 gauge blunt dispensing needles (0.038 in / 0.965 mm ID) as their emitters. Applied voltage to the emitter(s) relative to the grounded extractor is swept from 2100 V to 3700 V for the Demonstration thruster testing and from 4000 V to 4500 V for the Research thruster. Currents incident on a collection plate downstream of the emission plume and on the extractors of the thrusters were measured directly with a pico-ammeter. Measurements made during testing of the Demonstration thruster are inconsistent due to charge loss as propellant travels through the air, though currents as high as 5.1x10-9 A on the collection plate and 2x10-7 A on the extractor are recorded. Currents for Research thruster testing using un-doped glycerol were measured as high as 4.9x10-8 A on the collection plate and 5x10-9 A on the extractor, showing an interception rate as high as 17%. Currents using sodium iodide doped glycerol were measured as high as 7x10-7 A on the collection plate. Discussion is given for the visual qualities of cone-jet emission for all testing. Keywords:

Abstract:

This qualitative research employed the single case study approach to review the process by which service users and the staff of a food bank successfully broke through the bureaucratic resistance and secured new premises from the City of Montreal. This study explores the capacity of weaker parties to achieve their desired goal through strategic intervention on social exchange network despite the pre-existing asymmetric power relations. The conception of goal attainment, power relations and social exchange were discussed in order to develop the research questions. Case materials were collected from multiple sources: documentary research, in-depth interviews, and observation. The findings demonstrate that internal solidarity, potential uses of coalitions and expansion of resource networks are fundamental factors for members of a subordinate group to gain power and to achieve their goals. Implications for community organization practice were drawn from the overview of the empirical findings and theoretical concepts.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis aims to examine to what extent the European Union (EU) is a normative power in international relations. In the context of this, thesis normative power is defined as the successful attempt to diffuse commonly agreed principles that are intended to shape political and societal processes for the benefit of all. The originality of this thesis derives from the application of Ian Manners' technique of principles, action and impacts, which provides a methodological framework for testing whether the European Union is such a normative power. This technique is applied to the relationship between the EU and the Russian Federation in the period between 1999 and 2008, with a particular emphasis on trade policies, the promotion of democracy and human rights, as well as the European security approach towards Russia. The question in the analysis of this thesis is to what extent, with the help of Manners' technique, these three policy areas enable any statement on the role of the EU as a normative actor or power. The thesis examines to what degree an exercise of normative power by the EU is discernible in these areas when looking at each area separately and when attempting to draw any connection between these areas.

Abstract:

Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2012.
Over the past few years the Southern African Development Community (SADC) has been facing regional power shortages. These regional power shortages currently being experienced within the SADC region have been partly due to a lack of generation capacity and transmission capacity constraints. This situation has been further aggravated by the unanticipated economic growth within the SADC region. In order for the SADC region to meet its electricity demand, the region needs to invest in new generation and transmission projects. However, due to the inability of regional utilities to raise funds to finance these projects, the projects tend to not reach financial close resulting in the increase of the regional power deficits. Although these regional power shortages have been attributed to the lack of adequate investment in power generation projects and power transmission interconnector projects, this research report was limited to the development and financing of power transmission interconnector projects. The objective of this research report was to identify the dynamics that prohibit regional power transmission interconnectors from reaching financial close and to recommend possible solutions on how best to develop and package these projects. The research used the proposed developmental approach of the ZIZABONA transmission interconnector project as a case study to develop a generic model that could be utilised on other regional transmission interconnector projects. Based on the research presented in this research report, the study has highlighted project finance as a viable funding strategy. Regional utilities can utilise this funding strategy to package and finance joint transmission regional interconnectors to alleviate the current regional power shortages by facilitating regional electricity trade.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to empirically investigate if the municipal decision on wind power development can be explained by a model including socioeconomic variables and proxies for the natural environment, using a pooled cross-section data set for Swedish municipalities for the period 2010-2019. The study poses the question whether politicians' decisions-making can be explained by socioeconomic factors. In order to analyse the approving or denying of wind power development in Swedish municipalities, three models are used: the linear probability model, the probit and the logit model. The results show that the Green political party (positively affecting wind power development) and that the unemployment rate, income, population density, protected areas and the affiliations with the Sweden Democrats (negatively affecting the approval rate), has a statistical significant effect on the permissionprocess. Installed capacity of wind power plants seemingly have no impact. Our findings suggest that the municipal decision making is less random than the critics of the municipal veto proposes.

Abstract:

Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2001.
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 231-237).
In this thesis we examine the problem of designing architecture of an electric power network with the emphasis on transmission provision that supports various electricity market structures while ensuring the system wide reliability, following the electric power industry restructuring process. Specifically, the thesis proposes a possible regulatory incentive-based framework critical for creating a for-profit independent transmission company (ITC), and defines the role of ITC under the newly introduced regulatory framework, such that an adequate level of transmission capacity is provided for trading energy services between generators and loads over long-term. Before the restructuring process all of the electric services are provided by a so-called vertically integrated utility. A vertically integrated utility is a monopolistic entity who is responsible for meeting the region-wide demand for electricity at some acceptable quality by designing and operating entire generation, transmission and distribution assets within a regional electric power network. A vertically integrated utility fulfills its responsibilities by first projecting the demand of its customers over some period of time ( typically for the next 5 to 10 years) often assuming inelasticity. Then, based on the load projection, the utility plans for additional generation necessary for meeting the demand over the same period. Due to the lack of practical means of storing electricity and the uncertainty in equipment (both generation and transmission) availability, the adequate generation reinforcement includes not only the increase in projected demand but also the sufficient amount of reserves. Under the restructuring process, a completely new environment is created for producing, delivering and consuming electric power. A market is implemented for efficient trading of energy, and a vertically integrated utility is functionally unbundled into generation, transmission and distribution sectors by divesting the generation and distribution assets to many market participants including its affiliates. In the market the newly formed generation companies compete with other generation companies to provide energy to individual distribution companies who serve the ultimate consumer loads. The transmission asset owner and the network operator then together become a transmission provider (TP) who exists as a natural monopoly and provides network capacity to generation and distribution companies under the strict oversight of a regulator. With the introduction of a market mechanism there are a couple of new categories of uncertainties that are not encountered before the restructuring process, namely regulatory uncertainties and the market designs. It is asserted that these uncertainties play a critical role along with the well recognized uncertainties in equipment status/functionality in determining system wide efficiency as well as reliability in the operation and planning of an electric power network in the new environment. In dealing with the regulatory uncertainties, the price-cap regulation (PCR) scheme is suggested to replace the traditional cost-of-service regulation. Due to the particular characteristics of the industry including the lack of practical means of storing electricity and the lack of directly controlling the transmission path, some modifications to the conventional form of PCR scheme are necessary before actual application. In this thesis a practicable PCR scheme is proposed for regulating the operation and planning of a TP, which establishes the framework necessary for creating a for-profit ITC. In dealing with the uncertainties in market designs, the thesis introduces a usable business model for an ITC and the transmission products to be provided by this ITC. It is asserted that much of uncertainties in network usage, due to constantly changing supply and demand of the network users, can be eliminated through offering longer term transmission contracts by the ITC. A liquid market for these transmission contracts is essential for information revelation on the supply and demand of network users. The thesis proposes a workable mechanism for designing the market for transmission. In dealing with the uncertainties in equipment status/functionality, the thesis only suggests that there is a strong need for analytical tools in accurately computing the operational limit on power transfer through transmission lines within the network. Much work is needed for re-visiting the (short-term) reliability standards created under the old industry regime since various contractual agreements among the market participants now have very different interpretation on how the uncertainties in equipment status/functionality need to be handled. An active future research is urged for defining the market mechanisms essential for unbundling reliability in parallel to the functional unbundling. As attempted in this thesis, we believe that any proposed designs for electricity market structures should be examined with a clear understanding of the implications on the overall industry performance, as well as with an understanding of the implications on the individual industry participants, such as power suppliers, provider of wires, and consumers. Particular emphasis should be on understanding the long-term (in contrast to only short-term) effects of various changes on the adequacy of supply and evolution of the grid necessary to support the long-term needs of the energy markets. It will take some deep thinking and patience to get the entire electric power industry to function properly following the restructuring process.

Abstract:

Access to reliable electric power is considered by the developed world to be a minimum requirement for a reasonable standard of living. In addition to meeting a fluctuating demand, the modern electricity industry must now integrate intermittent generation sources like wind into the grid. Reserve margin allocation (RMA) for an acceptable loss of load expectation (LOLE) allows traditional generators to maintain grid reliability in the presence of small penetrations of wind energy. However, traditional RMA over-allocates the reserve capacity in the presence of short-term intermittency mitigation techniques like energy storage and demand response. For economic operation of the modern, grid better characterization techniques are needed for reserve margin reduction behavior in the presence of wind energy. This thesis addresses this challenge with a quantitative RMA analysis using real-world and simulated wind data for three different grid scenarios, with and without intermittency mitigation. The research is novel in its first-principles approach and its investigation into the practical validity of the analogy between demand response and energy response.

A new layered compound LiNi2/3Sb1/30 2 was synthesized and tested electrochemically to understand the effect of the transition metals on the structural stability of the layered compound upon Li de-intercalation. The electrochemical results show that the structure of LiNi2/3Sb1 /302 degrades upon cycling. XRD pattern refinement and TEM diffraction on the cycled LiNi2/3 Sb1/3O2 indicate that the structure degradation is associated with the migration of Ni into the Li layer. First principles calculation also shows a very low barrier for the migration of a divalent Ni from the transition metal layer to the tetrahedral sites of the lithium layer in the partially delithiated Li2/3Ni2/3Sbl/3O2. The divalent Ni becomes highly mobile because of the strong electrostatic repulsion from the surrounding three Ni3+ and three Sb5+. The effect of the alkali ions on the structural stability in the layered AMO 2 (A = alkali ion; M = transition metals) compounds is discussed by comparing layered LiMnO2 and NaMnO2. The structure of layered LiMnO 2 transforms rapidly into a spinel-like structure upon delithation due to the formation of a Li/Mn dumbbell configuration. However, such kind of dumbbell does not form in NaxMnO2, indicating its better structural stability upon deintercalation. The electrochemical results of NaMnO 2 show a much better capacity retention than that of LiMnO2, confirming that NaMnO2 is more stable than LiMnO2 upon deintercalation. The XRD results of the cycled NaMnO2 also show no significant structural change. The pronounced voltage steps and plateaus of NaMnO2 upon cycling were also investigated. First principles calculations show that the Li diffusivity in LiNi0.5Mn5O4 is in the order of 10-9 cm 2/s, implying that LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 can be a high rate material even with a large particle size. The electrochemical tests of the micron-sized LiNiO0.5Mn1.5O4 show higher rate capability than nano LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 by Shaju, et al, indicating that the ionic and electronic transport may not be the rate limiting factors. It was also found that cell configurations, such as separators, mechanical pressure of the cell and the carbon content in the electrode, could dramatically affect the rate capability of the cell. When the cell is highly optimized in configuration, more than half of the theoretical capacity is obtained at a discharge rate of 167C (corresponding to 22 seconds) with a particle size in the range of 3-5 [mu]m, which agrees with the high Li diffusivity by my calculation.

Abstract:

A model of the accurate harmonic allocation methods is developed to improve the current emission limits of IEEE Std.519. IEC 61000-3-6 and IEEE Std. 519 have by now been accepted as two well known standards for interconnecting the MV and HV-EHV customers to utility systems and widely adopted as standards to many power utilities. It is worth noting that the harmonic current emission limits of both standards have not been compared and justified with analytical proofs because there is still no explanation that discusses the origin of the emission limits in IEEE Std. 519, or the complex feature of IEC 61000-3-6. Two new novel methods of allocating the harmonic current emission limits for MV customers and HV-EHV customers have been proposed. Both methods have been developed in accordance with the principles of IEC 61000-3-6. Task II has compared and investgated the emission limits of both IEC 61000-3-6 and IEEE Std. 519. The difference, inconsistency and inaccuracy have been proven with the perspective of practical evaluations based on their own principles. The investigations focus on the specific numerical proofs of the resulting voltage distortions and the current emission limits in the MV and HV-EHV systems rather than on the philosophies. The proposed methods strongly support IEC 61000-3-6 and IEEE Std. 519, and add to their value; these methods could also help utilities allocate fairly and accurately harmonic emission limits to their MV and HV-EHV customers.

"Increase of energy efficiency in vacuum handling systems based on biomimetic principles." Technische Universität Dresden, 2020. https://tud.qucosa.de/id/qucosa%3A71213.

Full text

Abstract:

Vacuum handling is a widespread technology in automated production systems for gripping of workpieces. Unfortunately, this solution accounts for a considerable share of industrial energy consumption. This consumption is mainly due to the losses in the involved steps like air compression, distribution, vacuum generation and gripper suction. However, the energy efficiency of vacuum handling systems is still relatively unexplored. The consortium partners are working together in the BiVaS project, which is funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi). In this project, the drawback of high energy consumption is approached by the development of an energyefficient ejector, a biomimetic suction gripper as well as on system integration and the development of energy-efficient operating strategies and their energetic balancing in order to reduce the consumption of compressed air by 20 %. This reduction will be quantified experimentally in a pilot plant benchmark, where a realistic handling process is developed and examined. This paper shows the state of the art focusing on energy consumption of vacuum handling technology and the behaviour of the involved components during different handling operations. Furthermore, first biomimetic concepts and an estimation of the increase of energy efficiency will be presented for the running project.

Abstract:

The present thesis deals with the foundations for solving the decision problem of site selection for a feasibility study of gas-fired power plants, based on realistic and practical statements, under a business approach. The analysis of different theories and the investigation of site-relevant decision criteria has illustrated the broad range of site-specific factors and criteria that are to be taken into account. On the basis of existing projects, in which site theories were analysed for various industries, the present research project thus lays a new foundation for an extended specific approach in the area of electricity generation in gas-fired power plants. For gas-fired power plants, IEA anticipates a major increase, but otherwise notes that renewables and nuclear power account for more than half of all the new capacity added worldwide until 2040. Due to the low investment costs per KW of installed capacity, the high efficiency factor, the low CO2-emissions and the relatively short construction times, a large number of gas and steam power plants are planned or are already under construction in Europe. A lot of countries have been focussing on liquefaction of natural gas (LNG) for several years. The physical properties of LNG facilitate its transport on tankers to the ports of destination and / or power plants, where the natural gas is returned to its gaseous state. Thus, LNG offers a practical alternative to the gas transport by pipelines and a possibility to put the procurement structure on a broader basis. This, in turn, will lead to new alternatives for the choice of sites. Projects like the Baltic pipeline or the Nabuko project offer the prospect of a greater security of supply. The study considers the impact of measures to secure supply as decentralised generation and the use of renewable energies for power generation. The expansion targets of the EU 15 countries of 2004 and the values in each EU member country resulted in an indicative target value of around 20% of the share of renewable energies in the gross electricity consumption for the EU 25 in 2010. The political implementation in the individual EU 25 countries is one of the criteria for the choice of sites for power plant projects within Europe. The importance of the international electricity trade for the liberalised electricity market in Europe is stressed. It may include the promotion of the Europe-wide competition in the generation of electricity, increasing the efficient use of the existing capacities in the power plant fleet, and expansion of the cross-border power transfer capacities between the individual European states. It is also essential good cooperation of all participants on the energy market, for the development of an efficient power plant fleet in Europe and finally, for the success of each individual company.The survey method used in the self-designed empirical questionnaire has proven successful in the present study. The extension of the quantitative investment calculation by a refined qualitative evaluation and decision process and the introduction of a modified utility analysis rightly seem to claim their place in such a paradigm. On the basis of empirical material, a detailed characterization of the weighting of site criteria was performed. As a result of this it was found that the criteria weighting for a site decision is a multipersonal process, in which the behaviour of the subjective or restricted rationality of the players involved does not allow for a definite conclusion, but only provides a conclusion on tendencies. However, it could be proved that the subjective component is moderated by a multipersonal process and thus, by forming collective judgements instead of individual judgements. Over time, restrictions change, new energy concepts and technologies are developed, decision criteria and parameters vary. This induces permanent adaptation and further optimization of the present approach.
La presente tesis trata sobre las bases para la solución del problema de decisión de la selección del emplazamiento para un estudio de viabilidad de las plantas eléctricas de gas, basado en declaraciones realistas y prácticas, bajo un enfoque de negocio. El análisis de las diferentes teorías y la investigación de criterios de decisión relevantes ha ilustrado la amplia gama de factores específicos del lugar y los criterios que han de ser tenidos en cuenta. Sobre la base de los proyectos existentes, en los que se analizaron las teorías de selección de sitio para diversas industrias, el presente proyecto de investigación establece una nueva base para un enfoque específico en el área de generación de electricidad en centrales eléctricas de gas. Para las plantas eléctricas a gas, la AIE prevé un aumento importante de capacidades, y señala que las energías renovables y la energía nuclear cuenta con más de la mitad de toda la nueva capacidad añadida en todo el mundo hasta el año 2040. Debido a los bajos costos de inversión por kW de potencia instalada, el alto factor de eficiencia, las bajas emisiones de CO2 y los tiempos de construcción relativamente cortos, un gran número de plantas usando gas ya están en construcción en Europa. Una gran cantidad de países se han centrando en la licuefacción del gas natural (GNL) desde hace varios años. Las propiedades físicas de GNL facilitar su transporte en barcos a los puertos de destino, donde el gas natural se evapora a su estado gaseoso. El GNL ofrece una alternativa práctica para el transporte de gas a través de gasoductos y una posibilidad de poner la estructura de adquisición sobre una base más amplia. Esto, a su vez, dará lugar a nuevas alternativas para la elección de los sitios. Proyectos como el oleoducto del Báltico o el proyecto Nabuko ofrecen la perspectiva de una mayor seguridad del suministro. El estudio considera el impacto de las medidas para garantizar el suministro como la generación descentralizada y el uso de energías renovables para la generación de energía. Las metas de expansión de la UE de 15 países de 2004 y los valores de cada país miembro de la UE dio lugar a un valor objetivo indicativo de alrededor del 20% de la cuota de las energías renovables en el consumo bruto de electricidad de la UE-25 en 2010. La puesta en práctica política individuales en cada uno de 25 países de la UE, es uno de los criterios para la selección de sitios para proyectos de plantas de energía en Europa. La importancia del comercio internacional de electricidad para el mercado eléctrico liberalizado en Europa se destaca en el trabajo, además de la promoción de la competencia a escala europea en la generación de electricidad, el aumento de la utilización eficiente de las capacidades existentes en la flota de la planta de energía, y la expansión de las capacidades de transferencia de energía transfronterizos entre los estados europeos. Una buena cooperación de todos los participantes es esencial en el mercado de la energía, para el desarrollo de una flota de plantas de energía eficiente en Europa y, por último, para el éxito de cada empresa en particular. El método de encuesta utilizada, de diseño propio ha demostrado su eficacia en el presente estudio. La extensión del cálculo de la inversión cuantitativa por un proceso de evaluación y decisión cualitativa refinada y la introducción de un análisis de la utilidad modificado con razón tiene su lugar en este paradigma. Sobre la base del material empírico, se realizó una caracterización detallada de la ponderación de los criterios del sitio. Como resultado de esto se encontró que la decisión del sitio es un proceso multipersonal, en el que el comportamiento de la racionalidad subjetiva o restringida de los jugadores implicados no permite una conclusión definitiva, pero sólo proporciona una conclusión de tendencias, planteando la solución como juicios colectivos en lugar de individuales. Cambios futuros, pueden obligar a optimizar el trabajo.

This dissertation aims to analyze the Constitutional Principle of Free Competition, specifically regarding its role as fact the limits the abuse of economical power. In order to accomplish that goal, it was necessary to define what economical power is and in what moment the application of that power turned out to be abusive; but not putting apart other aspects that concern that issue, such as: the general definition of power and its relations with the law system. It was also analyzed, in a general way, the legal principles, considering the conception of the word principle , its own evolutional and normative origin, the distinction between principles and rules, the notion of legal system and the relevance of the principles concerning the society s evolution. So, the following step consisted in studying some general aspects related to the competition, aiming to better understand the role played by the principle inserted into the article 170, incision IV, of the Brazilian Constitution. Having this in mind, an approach was made to the historical evolution of the competition until now, the etymological origin of the words competition and rivalry , the accurate definition of what free competition is, and to other relevant aspects. In doing so, in the last chapter, which is the kernel of this paper, the Constitutional Principle of Competition and its contribution to the limitation to the economical power has been explained in details, and also clarified its content, its interests that effectively protect itself, its distinction from the postulate of free initiative, its pragmatic character and its efficacy, but not forgetting the other matters related to the issue, and that are equally important, they are: the role of the State in defense of the free competition, the action of the agencies that regulate the maintenance of a healthy market, the process of concentration, the defense of the competition and the influence of the tax incentive toward the competition.
A presente dissertação tem por escopo principal analisar o Princípio Constitucional da Livre Concorrência, especificamente, no que toca à sua atuação como fator limitador ao abuso do poderio econômico. Para tanto, foi necessário delinear o que é Poder Econômico e a partir de que momento o uso deste poder passa a ser abusivo, sem deixar de lado outros aspectos relacionados ao tema como, por exemplo, a definição genérica de poder, as relações deste com o direito etc. Vencida a primeira etapa, no segundo capítulo, fez-se uma análise dos princípios jurídicos de maneira geral, apreciando a conceituação da palavra princípio , seu iter evolucional e normatividade, a distinção entre princípios e regras, a noção de sistema jurídico e a importância dos princípios no que diz respeito à evolução da sociedade. O passo seguinte foi o estudo de alguns aspectos gerais relativos à concorrência, com intuito de melhor entender o papel desempenhado pelo princípio inserto no artigo 170, inciso IV, da Constituição Federal. Assim, abordou-se a evolução histórica da concorrência desde a Antigüidade até os tempos atuais, a origem etimológica das palavras concorrência , competição e rivalidade , a determinação precisa do que é livre concorrência , dentre outros aspectos relevantes. Finalmente, no último capítulo, e cerne deste trabalho, explicitou-se, pormenorizadamente, o Princípio Constitucional da Livre Concorrência e sua contribuição para a limitação do poder econômico, aclarando seu conteúdo, os interesses que efetivamente protege, sua diferenciação com o postulado da livre iniciativa, seu caráter instrumental e sua eficácia, não esquecendo de outros assuntos relacionados ao tema, e igualmente importantes, a saber: o papel destinado ao Estado na defesa da livre concorrência, a atuação das agências reguladoras na manutenção de um mercado saudável, o processo de concentração e a defesa da concorrência e a influência dos incentivos fiscais na concorrência.

Abstract:

This study will try an hypothesis built on Machiavellis principles of power and examine the position of Machiavellis importance in the world of today. The hypothesis contains principles of Machiavellis thoughts on power and is ment to be used as an analytical tool to understand the downfall of totalitarian leaders. The hypothesis gains strength from this study due to the fact that it could explain the fall of Colonel Gaddafi and may even have predicted the downfall of Muammar Gaddafi based on the violation of several of the principles that built up the hypothesis. The hypothesis however, needs more testing to be able to be accepted as a generalization. The importance of Machiavelli and his school of thought is strengthened by the fact that the principles shown in the hypothesis are viable and the fact that Machiavelli still contributes to discussion on modern principles of power. Through the glasses that are the hypothesis we get a clear picture that tells us why Colonel Gaddafi got overthrown; He simply pushed the people to far.

Abstract:

With the majority of the oceans lying outside the borders of national jurisdiction, it is not easy to preserve them healthy and secure as the ‘shared responsibility’ is not recognized unambiguously in the global world. The recent turn to the maritime sphere is visible in the UN 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development that has been widely advocated by the EU. The latter’s commitment to sustainable ocean governance involves action beyond borders, which has a considerable impact on the global maritime sphere as well as on developing countries depending on the seas. On the one hand, the EU’s pursuit of sustainable ocean governance is informed by the norms and values that the organization possesses and tries to promote in its response to global challenges. On the other, the normative principles and the EU’s flowery rhetoric serve as a mean to rationalize Union’s pursuit of self-interest. This study analyses both dimensions of the organization’s engagement in the maritime sphere, considering oceans as a ‘placeful’ environment that has to be treated in the same way as the land is. By exploring the external dimension of EU’s action in the field, the thesis allows to see that EU’s pursuit of sustainable ocean governance has to be understood as a process in which the strategic aims are imbued with genuine moral concerns. Nevertheless, those can sometimes be undermined by the material policy outcomes visible in the West African coastal states such as Mauritania and Senegal.

Abstract:

Child participation is one of the fundamental principles of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989), which South Africa ratified in 1995, together with (a) the best interest of the child; (b) survival, protection and development; and (c) non-discrimination (Hodgkin&Newell, 2002:17). It can be viewed as one of the cornerstones of child rights (and also human rights) as far as the Convention is concerned. The strongest foundations for children’s right to participation in society can be found in universally agreed upon human rights treaties as well as domestic laws. These provide, either directly or by interpretation, for the right of children to participate in claiming their civil and political rights (first order rights) as well as their social, economic and cultural rights (second order rights). It is apparent that the construction of childhood by the adult portion of society directly affects children’s ability to claim and execute their right to participation as citizens. These constructions of childhood are largely determined by the large differences in power between children and adults, where adults hold the power and decide when and how much power will be given to children, and by children’s perceived status as “lesser” than adults and, as such, needing to behave and respond in certain ways. Both these perceptions influence the meaningful participation of children. Despite progression being made globally on the importance and value of children’s participation, there remains a tension between children’s right to participation and society’s construct of children and childhood. While this tension prevails, it is important that mechanisms be found that will ensure that children’s right to participation is executed in a way that will ensure that society’s perceptions of childhood do not influence the quality of meaningful participation. Authentic and meaningful participation can be safeguarded by ensuring that participation occurs within a framework that spells out the ethical principles to which child participation should adhere. Research was undertaken to explore the foundations of child participation as a fundamental right, and to develop ethical principles for child participation for use in practice. As part of a qualitative study, semi-structured interviews were conducted with adult experts in child participation, and focus group discussions were held with children involved in child participation. From the study it was concluded that ethical principles for child participation are important to ensure that children are enabled to participate in an authentic and meaningful manner in all matters that affect them and their communities. Based on the findings and the conclusion, a framework for the ethical principles of child participation was developed. Recommendations included the following:

Publishing and dissemination of the framework for the ethical principles of child participation.
Monitoring of child participation to ensure that it is ethical.
Training in ethical child participation for all role players.

Abstract:

An examination of the stationary power sector is performed using The Natural Step framework and Sustainability Principles (SP), in order to aid decision makers in developing policy to balance energy needs while reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in order to address climate change. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is evaluated for its sustainability aspects, and is found to be a potentially sustainable approach which can be a bridging technology to a more sustainable energy mix, as well as a remediation technology which can remove CO2 from the atmosphere when utilized in combination with biomass fuel. Initial actions for restructuring the stationary power sector should emphasise demand reduction and efficiency efforts, followed by switching to renewable energy sources. If the first two strategies can not provide sufficient CO2 reductions, then investments in CCS technology may be an appropriate choice. CCS with coal-fired power can be a means to decouple CO2 emissions from fossil fuel use, but other SP violations associated with coal use must also be fully addressed before this strategy can be considered a truly sustainable option.

Esta dissertação discute a relação entre a medicina, a psiquiatria, a psicologia, o poder punitivo e o Direito Penal, bem como a influência que o discurso de uma produziu no outro, e vice versa. Defende a idéia de que a medicina é um espetáculo de poder que, acasalado com o poder punitivo, e interagindo com, e sobre, o indivíduo, invade e se apropria do seu corpo para, usando-o como instrumento de dominação política, discipliná-lo de acordo com a conveniência, sobretudo, da higiene e, naquela sua relação espúria com o poder punitivo, diferenciá-lo e controlá-lo social e penalmente. Sustenta, ainda, que, malgrado o acasalamento não tenha sido intencional, o Estado via na medicina o instrumento para reforçar o seu poder, enquanto essa via naquele o apoio para o seu espraiamento, embora Medicina e Estado tenham convergido, mas também divergido, por vezes tática e estrategicamente, porquanto nem sempre os dois poderes reconheceram o valor da aliança que haviam estabelecido. Então, defende a tese de que o Estado acatou a medicalização das suas ações políticas e admitiu o valor político das ações da medicina, e com vantagens para ambos que, dividindo o poder, conquistaram. É que, a medicina, mais rápida e mais adequada aos problemas salutares apresentados, ajudava-o a se imiscuir no corpo para a permanência parasitária daquela. E, para manter seu direito ao discurso, sustenta que a medicina reinventou constantemente uma necessidade para, diante dela, apresentar-se como única solução, tendo conseguido isso mediante a apresentação de uma retórica dominial eloquente, mas, sobretudo, tecnificada, é dizer, inacessível ao dominado. Com isso, a disciplina, o controle e a repressão do indivíduo, penal e medicamente, estavam prontas, pois, Direito e Medicina, aquele com a lei, esta com o remédio, juntos, dominaram e dominam os destinos do indivíduo, e da coletividade. Demonstrou, ainda, que os higienistas nunca se desocuparam de suas funções. E, por fim, que os princípios penais devem, independente da qualificação que se os dê, sempre refrear o poder punitivo.
This dissertation discusses the relationship between the medicine, the psychiatry, the punitive power and the Penal Law, as well the influence that the ones speech produces in the other, and vice versa. Argues the idea that the medicine is an spectacule of power that, with the punitive power, and interacting with it, and above, the individual, invades and apropriates of their body for, using it as instrument of political domination, disciplin it according with the convenience, mainly, of the hygiene and, in that spurious relationship with the punitive power, diferenciating and controlling it social and criminally. Maintains, even, that, despite the union not have been intentional, the State saw in medicine an instrument to enforce its own power, while medicine saw in State the suport for its propagation, despite Medicine and State have converged, but also diverged, sometimes, tactically and strategically, because not allways the both powers recognized the value of the alliance that they have just established. So, defends the thesis that the State accepted the medicalization of its public actions and admitted the political value of the medicine actions, and with the advantage for both that, sharing the power, they won. It means that, the medicine, more fast and more appropriate to the relevant problems presented, helped the State to interfere in the body, insofar the State, with its hegemonical power, opened gaps into its own body to the remaining parasitic of the other onte. And, for keeping its right of speech, argues that the medicine reinvented frequentlly a necessity for present itself as the only solution, getting it by the presentation of one dominial eloquent rhetoric, but, mainlly, technified, or, inaccessible to the dominated. With it, the discipline, the control and the repression of the individual, penal and medically, were ready, because, Law and Medicine, that one with legislation, and this one with drugs, together, dominated and still dominate the destinys of the individual, and collectivity. Demonstrate, more, that the hygienists never stopped their functions. And, finally, the penal principles must, independently of the given qualification, allways stops the punitive power.

The problem that triggered this thesis to investigate the relation between trust and power of internal stakeholders belong to cooperatives of collection and treatment of solid residues within the context of the principles of solidarity economy and how they happen. The object of study used a sample of six cooperatives, five ones from ABC region and one from Cotia city, all of them in São Paulo state. Through secondary data and interviews were identified the stakeholders from their cooperatives – internal and external ones. To respond the research question, its objectives and propositions the investigation was conducted by an exploratory and descriptive research, using the multiple case study strategy with three analysis units: organization, managers and collectors workers. The documentary research, interviews, direct observations, semistructured research questionnaire and the social networks analysis (Social Network Analysis) methods were used, to find out the existing typology of trust and of power in the enterprises and the relationship between themselves. The problematic context about solid residue in Brazil was the background scenario to support the development of this study research. The results showed that majority of cooperatives, present trust relationship based on utilitarianism. Only two cooperatives presented the relational trust type which generates long term relations guided on mutual trust. In regards the power typology, two cooperatives were characterized as autocratic, one as an instrument, and one is over transition phase from autocratic to missionary and remaining two are marked as missionary type. Taking in consideration that relational trust and missionary power are expected typologies for solidary enterprises, the conclusion is that just two cooperatives match to solidarity economy principles, even though just one of these cooperatives demonstrated economic sustainability through mutual trust. This cooperative presents managerial skill on its manager as as centric element of trust typology formatting which differentiates it from others. The trust and power relationship study shows that those variables coexist simultaneously. The solidarity economy enterprises do not have in their strategy capital earnings even though they must surviving in the capitalist world and need to maintain their economic sustainability to strengthen their chains through mutual trust and collaboration.
O problema desta tese foi o de investigar as relações de confiança e de poder dos stakeholders internos das cooperativas de coleta e tratamento de resíduos sólidos, no contexto dos princípios da economia solidária e como elas ocorrem. O objeto de estudo foram seis cooperativas, sendo cinco da região do grande ABC paulista e uma da cidade de Cotia na região metropolitana de São Paulo. Por meio dos dados secundários e entrevistas em profundidade, foram identificados os stakeholders internos e externos destes empreendimentos. Para responder à questão de pesquisa, seus objetivos e proposições, a investigação utilizou a pesquisa de caráter exploratório e descritivo, com estratégia de estudo de caso múltiplo e incorporado, com três unidades de análise: organização, gestores e catadores (unidade central). A pesquisa documental, entrevistas em profundidade, observações diretas, questionário semiestruturado e análise de redes sociais (Social Network Analysis) foram utilizadas para identificar a tipologia existente das variáveis confiança e poder nos empreendimentos e a relação entre elas. A problemática dos resíduos sólidos no Brasil serviu de pano de fundo para a elaboração dessa pesquisa. Os resultados mostraram que os empreendimentos, em sua maioria, possuem uma relação de confiança pautada no utilitarismo. Somente duas cooperativas foram identificadas com confiança do tipo relacional, que gera relações mais duradouras pautadas na confiança mútua. Quanto à tipologia de poder, duas foram caracterizadas como autocráticas, uma como instrumento, uma em transição de autocrática para missionária e duas do tipo missionário. Ao considerar que a confiança do tipo relacional e o poder do tipo missionário seriam as tipologias esperadas nos empreemdimentos solidários, conclui-se que somente duas cooperativas mostraram maior aderência aos princípios da economia solidária, por outro lado, destes dois empreendimentos, somente um demonstrou sustentabilidade econômica por meio da confiança mútua. Este empreendimento, por sua vez, demonstrou possuir a componente habilidade gerencial presente em sua gestora, como elemento central na formação da tipologia de confiança, diferindo dos demais. A relação entre a confiança e poder mostrou que as variáveis caminham lado a lado. Os empreendimentos econômicos solidários não possuem, em sua estratégia, o acúmulo de capital, mas devem sobreviver no mundo capitalista e para tanto precisam manter sua sustentabilidade econômica, fortalencendo seus vínculos por meio da confiança mútua e da colaboração.

Tiriamojo darbo tema yra ypač aktuali, todėl, kad ateityje bus susiduriama su elektros energijos stygiumi ir dideliu kainų šuoliu. Šiuo metu pasaulyje beveik visų tipų energijos kainos kyla dėl žaliavos stygiaus. Energijos taupymu reikia susirūpinti jau šendien, todėl manau, kad saulės energija yra puiki alternatyva kitoms energijos rūšims. Saulė yra atsinaujinantis energijos šaltinis kuris neteršia aplinkos, be to saulės energija gali sutaupyti nemažai lėšų gyvenamųjų namų savininkams. Šio darbo metu buvo ištirtos Lietuvos galimybės plėtoti saulės energijos technologijas, bei panaudojimo galimybes. Darbo metu buvo aprašyta atsinaujinančioji saulės energija, ištirti Lietuvos saulės energijos ištekliai ir nustatytos tinkamiausios vietos saulės energijos panaudojimui. Darbo metu buvo tiriami saulės kolektoriai ir saulės fotoelementai, jų veikimo principai, savybės ir panaudojimo galimybės. Be to buvo lyginami tarpusavyje kelių tipų saulės fotoelemenatai, vertinamos fotoelementų atsipirkimo galimybės.
Investigative work is important, therefore, that the future will be faced with power shortages and significant price increases. Currently, almost all types of world energy prices caused raw material shortages. Energy savings should be cause for concern today already, so I think that solar energy is a great alternative to other types of energy. The sun is a renewable energy source which does not pollute the environment, as well as solar energy can save you considerable amount of money to owners of residential houses. This work has explored the possibility of Lithuania to develop solar energy technologies, and usability. This work was described in the renewable solar energy have been examined in Lithuania solar energy resources, and determine the most appropriate local use of solar energy development. Work was to investigate photocells and solar panels, its operating principles, features, usability. Also, a comparison between several types of photocells and assessed the possibility of payback.

Abstract:

This thesis discusses the contribution made by John Wimber to the theology of evangelism, discipleship and ministry. These contributions are contextually placed within a Reformed congregation that is part of a Confessional Presbyterian Denomination. While it does not address specifics with one congregation, the principles aim to be applicable to all such congregations. It seeks to challenge the accepted attitudes toward evangelism, the integration of new converts into the Church through discipleship, and the release of these converts into some form of ministry. This thesis argues for a re-evaluation of the power of the Holy Spirit in confirming the gospel with signs ccompanying, in filling each believer with his fullness and the giving of spiritual gifts, and a release of these gifts through every member ministry as a possible methodology to be implemented in Presbyterian congregations. This thesis aims to offer a middle way between pentecostalism and Cessationist theology through the ministry philosophy of John Wimber, himself an ordained minister of a Reformed denomination. It seeks to respect the theological and historical traditions of Presbyterianism, while not being uncritical of some of its current methodologies. It also seeks to suggest that the theology of the Reformed faith is best suited to a Charismatic methodology with the emphasis on God’s sovereignty, omnipotence and sacramental theology. It seeks to place the practice of evangelism, discipleship and ministry within the context of a local congregation as that which is best suited to minister to the needs of that local community in which it is planted, and to evangelise, disciple and train those members to meet the spiritual needs of that community. This thesis argues for an integration of the presence and power of the Holy Spirit in the context of a Bible and preachingbased congregation.

Abstract:

The rapid emergence of broadband, or always-on Internet, during the course of the last decade, has increased the importance of the so- called information society in urban and industrialized societies world- wide. Liberalized information and communications technology (ICT) market forces worldwide have however failed to supply these services to rural and low-income regions resulting in the so-called digital divide. One financial tool, adopted by many developing nations to drive broadband investments in underserved areas, is the universal service fund (USF), a public fund mainly levying its resources from ICT market players. USFs have previously been used to fund telecom networks but with the growing importance of broadband, structural and regulatory discrepancies are preventing USFs from adequately supporting broadband investments. Currently, little up-to-date academic theory exists within this field; thus, this thesis serves to outline principles that policy-makers and regulators need to consider when designing or reforming universal service fund mechanisms. The research is based on a series of qualitative country case studies investigating policy, procedural, and executional aspects related to USFs and rural broadband. Publicly available material has been complemented with interviews of stakeholders from various levels to establish a holistic empirical base upon which conclusions have been drawn. The conclusions outline principles governing public involvement in USFs, roles played by various stakeholders in the broadband ecosystem, and strategies for rural broadband network deployment.
Framfarten av bredband under det senaste årtiondet har ökat vikten av det så kallade informationssamhället i de industrialiserade och urbaniserade samhällen. Marknadskrafterna inom den liberaliserade informations- och kommunikationsindustrin har dock misslyckats med att göra dess tjänster tillgängliga till glesbefolkade och låginkomstregioner, vilket har lett till en digital klyfta. Ett finansiellt hjälpmedel som många utvecklingsländer har anammat för att påskynda bredbandsinvesteringar i regioner med få bredbandsuppkopplingar är fonder för samhällsomfattande tjänster (USF), som är en offentlig fond vilken får den största delen av sitt kapital genom en pålaga på intäkterna från aktörer inom informations- och kommunikationsindustrin. USF:er har tidigare använts för att finansiera telekomnätverk, men i takt med att bredbandets ökande genomslag i samhället har strukturella och regleringsmässiga problem med USF:erna uppdagats vilka hindrar dem från att effektivt stödja bredbandsinvesteringar. För närvarande finns lite akademisk teori på området, och sålunda syftar denna uppsatts till att tillhandahålla principer vilka beslutsfattare och regulatorer bör efterfölja vid utformning eller reformering av mekanismer för samhällsomfattande tjänster för bredband. Arbetet baseras på en serie kvalitativa fallstudier av länder med policy, procedurella och verkställande aspekter kopplade till USF:er i områden med få bredbandsuppkopplingar i fokus. Material tillgängligt för allmänheten har kompletterats med intervjuer av intressenter från olika organisations- och samhällsnivåer för att skapa en heltäckande empiri på området från vilka slutsatser har dragits. Slutsatserna innehåller principer som rör offentlig inblandning i USF:er, roller för samhällets olika intressenter i ett ekosystem för bredband, samt strategier för utbyggnad av bredbandsnätverk i glesbefolkade områden.

This paper aims to shed light over the effectiveness of the fundamental guarantee upon due process of law within Brazilian Tax Law, as an essential condition to the possibility of exigency of a certain amount as taxes compelled by the Brazilian Federal State. In view of that, we shall do a historical introduction to tax as an instrument of power and its interaction with the State; we shall highlight the constitutional principles importance as essential guarantees to be followed at a Democratic Constitutional State; shall emphasize the enlargement of the due process of law and highlight our tax ruling and assessment act conceptions. We support the thesis that without the due process of law tax power cannot be balanced provided that in a statutory law system, the constitutional guarantees are the main compass of justice sense. Moreover, we understand that disrespecting the enjoyment of the due process of law, whether if in its material or procedural sphere, would lead up to the nullity of tax exigency interposed at the Federal Government Collectible Debt as a severe offense to the 1988 Brazilian Federal Constitution
O presente trabalho tem por escopo trazer a lume a efetividade da garantia fundamental do devido processo legal na aplicação do Direito Tributário, como condição indispensável à possibilidade de exigência de valor a título de tributo forçadamente pelo Estado. Para tanto, fazemos, em suma, uma introdução histórica do tributo como instrumento de poder e sua relação com o Estado; realçamos a importância dos princípios constitucionais como garantias primordiais a serem obedecidas no Estado Democrático de Direito; ressaltamos a amplitude da garantia do devido processo legal; e salientamos nossa concepção de norma jurídica tributária e de ato de lançamento. Defendemos a tese de que, sem obediência ao devido processo legal, inexiste equilíbrio necessário do poder tributário ´, uma vez que, num sistema de direito positivo, as garantias constitucionais são a bússola central do sentimento de justiça. Mais do que isso, sustentamos que o desrespeito à fruição do devido processo legal, seja na faceta material ou processual, acarreta na nulidade de exigência tributária permeada na Dívida Ativa do Estado, por grave ofensa à Constituição Federal de 1988

Abstract:

Abstract This thesis explores the role of civil society organizations and the democratic participation of minority groups in Sweden. It is based on an analysis and interpretation of a major court decision that denied government support (MUCF) for a Muslim Youth organization (SUM) in 2016. Based on case study methodology and a close reading of court documents and related reports, the analysis of the empirical material identified nine themes of democratic participation and democratic principles, including: integration, discrimination, multicultural society/diversity, Muslims, Islamism/Muslim brotherhoods in Sweden, human rights. The analysis shows, how the Muslim Youth organization was both included in the democratic process but also excluded. I argue that their exclusion is based on ethnic boundary making processes which construct Muslims as essentially different from the rest of society. The thesis suggests that this exclusion could damage the integration processes of ethnic and religious minorities in Sweden.

Abstract:

The main goal of this work is to research the accentuation in the “Grammar of the Lithuanian language” to analyse the words which contravene with the standards of modern accentuation. The attention is being paid as well to the morphonological principles of accentuation. There are not many detailed research works of this kind. Nevertheless, more language specialists appear now analysing the accentuation of the standard language based on the morphonological principles. The accentuation of the majority of nouns, given in the Grammar of the Lithuanian language is according to the rules of standard language. 257 words of different parts of speech are discussed in the work. The words for analysis were selected only those the accentuation of which controverse with accentutaion rules of the standard language or they have accent variations. Two accentuation tendencies of these words showed up: mostly (193 words) it was according to the accentuation of the period, given in the DŽ1, or it is based on the dialects (64 words), though it is not pointed out. The accentuation of some words can be proof‘s faults. The words given in the first volume of Grammar of the Lithuanian language are grouped into chapters according to word formation principles. Systematized and grouped material was described according to normative and morphonological aspects. The accentual power of the words collected is shown in formulas, schemes, discussed according to the morphonological principles of stressing... [to full text]

This work has as objective the analysis of taxation authorized by the Constitution to the governmental entities sided by implications related to sovereignty, both internal and external, in this contemporary world. The starting premise is that the State powers come as expressed in the Constitution, being sovereignty a State value granted by people. This rhetoric approach reaches an overview on theory of values, as the base for the juridical principles, with emphasis to the tax related ones and their legitimating sources. The concepts of the expression tax are herewith presented as well as its various doctrinal classifications, briefly enumerating the taxes presented by the constitutional text, establishing the correlation between sovereignty and taxation sources. Last, sovereignty is faced to globalization, dictated by the international law, treaties and the various organisms which legitimate imposed behaviors towards the tending institution of a global constitutionalism, remarking community groups like the European Union and MERCOSUL

Nessa retórica, perpassa-se pela teoria dos valores, como base dos princípios juridicizados pela Constituição, destacando-se os tributários e as fontes que os legitimam. Conceitua-se o termo tributo, elencando o rol de tributos tratados pelo texto constitucional, ainda que brevemente, estabelecendo a correlação de soberania com a competência para tributar. Por fim, cuidamos da soberania em face da globalização, ditada pelo direito internacional, seus tratados e seus vários organismos, que legitimam comportamentos impositivos no âmbito de um tendente constitucionalismo global, destacando-se grupos comunitários como a União Europeia e o Mercosul

Abstract:

A presente dissertação tem por objetivo o estudo da aplicação do princípio da congruência no Processo Individual do Trabalho. Tal princípio caracteriza-se pelo caráter restritivo da atuação judicial, vinculando a prolação de sentença aos limites da lide. A problemática centra-se no entendimento do conceito de lide, ora entendido simplesmente como pedido, ora como a matéria fática e jurídica levada aos autos, permitindo-se ao magistrado conhecer de pedidos não formulados expressamente, desde que os fatos a eles pertinentes tenham sido discutidos nos autos. A partir da Teoria Instrumentalista do Processo, que admite este modo de resolução de conflitos como um meio para a efetividade do Direito Material, buscou-se identificar a possibilidade de flexibilização do princípio da congruência no Processo Individual do Trabalho, tendo em vista que o estudo deste princípio revelou que a doutrina e a jurisprudência civil e trabalhista já permitem sua relativização ou mitigação em determinados casos, em especial quando se trata da aplicação de norma de ordem pública, uma das características do Direito Material do Trabalho. Ademais, considerando as questões linguísticas implicadas na formulação da pretensão da parte e da sentença, foi feita pesquisa jurisprudencial no sítio eletrônico do Tribunal Superior do Trabalho, de modo a identificar as relações hermenêuticas estabelecidas entre o pedido e a decisão final neste tribunal. Para tanto, foram selecionadas 149 decisões em que se discute a existência ou não de julgamento além dos limites da lide, destacando-se os casos em que o tribunal considerou desnecessária a formulação de pedido expresso para a concessão de direito trabalhista
The purpose of this dissertation is to study the use of the Principle of Ne Ultra et Extra Petita in individual labor process. This principle is defined by the restrictive aspect of the acts of the judge, binding the sentence to the matters under dispute. The core discussion lies on the identification of such matters, which can be seen as simply the pleadings expressed by the parties or as all the matters in connection with the facts merely mentioned by them. The latter position would allow the judicial authority to pronounce a sentence addressing additional matters that were not expressly pleaded by the parties. Based on the idea that the due process of law is an instrument to achieve effectiveness of legal commands, on the already accepted exception of this principle when it comes to public order rules, and also on the assumption that labor law is of public order, this dissertation analyzed the possibility of disregarding the Principle of Ne Ultra et Extra Petita in individual labor process in order to enhance the legal award. In addition to the theoretical analysis, a wide research on the website of the superior labor court (Tribunal Superior do Trabalho) was carried out in order to verify the hermeneutical relations between the pleadings and the dispositions of the judicial decision. Bearing such an objective in mind, 149 decisions on the alleged violation of the Principle of Ne Ultra et Extra Petita were selected and analyzed, focusing on those awards in which the court considered irrelevant the existence of an express pleading in order to grant or deny a specific labor right.

The principle of court and judges is quite old and it has been studied by many authors but this topic is current nowadays as well. The justice supported by judges is often being tried to be influenced as well as frequent disciplinary proceedings show that inner independence of judges is not purified to a perfect form. The provisions of the Constitution which govern the independence of courts and judges are analyzed in the study together with Constitutional Court rulings that are connected with the principle of the independence or courts and judges. As the independence principle of courts and judges is the basic one in the constitutional law it is fortifies in many international documents. The provisions of international documents that regulate the independence of courts and judges are discussed in the study. They are compared to the provisions that are fortified in the Constitution of Lithuania. Besides, the data of sociological researches is used in the study in order to see the level of the trust of the public in courts. The hypothesis is raised in the study that the level of independence of courts and judges influence the public trust in the courts ad judges was confirmed. The higher level of the independence of courts and judges appears the bigger trust of public in courts and judges is. The principle of power division, the ratio of court’s authorities with other authorities (legislature and executive power) as well as the features of the court power are distinguished...

Abstract:

In the CO2 capture from power generation, the energy penalties for the capture are one of the main challenges. Nowadays, the post-combustion methods have energy penalties lower than the oxy-combustion and pre-combustion technologies. One of the main disadvantages of the post-combustion method is the fact that the capture of CO2 at atmospheric pressure requires quite big equipment for the high flow rates of flue gas, and the low partial pressure of the CO2 generates an important loss of energy.The Allam cycle presented for NETPOWER gives high efficiencies in the power production and low energy penalties. A simulation of this cycle is made together with a simulation of power plants with pre-combustion and post-combustion capture and without capture for natural gas and for coal.The simulations give lower efficiencies than the proposed for NETPOWER. For natural gas the efficiency is 52% instead of the 59% presented, and 33% instead of 51% in the case of using coal as fuel. Are brought to light problems in the CO2 compressor due the high flow of CO2 that is compressed until 300bar to be recycled into the combustor.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The National Department of Basic Education is aware that it is not succeeding in providing quality education for all school children. At present the performance of grade 3 and grade 6 learners, in both international and local assessment, is a matter for great concern. The results suggest that most learners lack basic literacy and numeracy skills. Learners’ performance in the National Senior Certificate Examinations is also far from what it should be. The way in which schools are managed largely determines the quality of education learners receive. As the managers of schools, therefore, principals are held responsible for the poor performance of learners during these annual systemic evaluations. The study aimed to investigate whether the school principals are aware of their powers and whether they perceive themselves as able to use their power to influence school practices positively and thus promote quality education. The study indicates that principals rely on a combination of positional and personal power sources to promote quality education. The study also indicates that principals are aware of their power but have a limited understanding of the concept of power. They also seem to lack the knowledge and understanding to exercise these powers effectively. Although they seem able to exercise considerable power in different situations, principals are reluctant to use their power. It seems that various external and internal factors influence their ability to use their power effectively.
