Full textAbstract:
This work deals with the PSO technique (Particle Swarm Optimization), which is capable to solve complex problems. This technique can be used for solving complex combinatorial problems (the traveling salesman problem, the tasks of knapsack), design of integrated circuits and antennas, in fields such as biomedicine, robotics, artificial intelligence or finance. Although the PSO algorithm is very efficient, the time required to seek out appropriate solutions for real problems often makes the task intractable. The goal of this work is to accelerate the execution time of this algorithm by the usage of Graphics processors (GPU), which offers higher computing potential while preserving the favorable price and size. The boolean satisfiability problem (SAT) was chosen to verify and benchmark the implementation. As the SAT problem belongs to the class of the NP-complete problems, any reduction of the solution time may broaden the class of tractable problems and bring us new interesting knowledge.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis deals with a population based stochastic optimization technique PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) and its acceleration. This simple, but very effective technique is designed for solving difficult multidimensional problems in a wide range of applications. The aim of this work is to develop a parallel implementation of this algorithm with an emphasis on acceleration of finding a solution. For this purpose, a graphics card (GPU) providing massive performance was chosen. To evaluate the benefits of the proposed implementation, a CPU and GPU implementation were created for solving a problem derived from the known NP-hard Knapsack problem. The GPU application shows 5 times average and almost 10 times the maximum speedup of computation compared to an optimized CPU application, which it is based on.

Full textAbstract:
Syfte: Det föreligger ett lagförslag som kan komma att ställa krav på omkring 2000 svenska företag vad det gäller redovisning inom Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), en redovisning som idag ännu är frivillig. Denna studies huvudsakliga syfte är att undersöka om det finns någon relation mellan sådan redovisning och fööetags finansiella prestation. I forskningen kring denna relation har begreppet Corporate Social Performance (CSP) använts för att kvantifiera redovisad CSR. Relationen studeras dels utifrån ett samlat mått på CSP, dels separat utifrån de två dimensionerna miljö och mänskliga rättigheter. Metod: Föreliggande studie har utgått ifrån den positivistiska forskningsfilosofin och antagit en hypotetiskt-deduktiv ansats. Vidare har den strategi som antagits varit kvantitativ, där en tvärsnittsdesign använts och där data som samlats in uteslutande varit av sekundär art. Studiens urval uppgår till 211 företag noterade på Nasdaq OMX Stockholm. Den data som använts som måttåå CSP har hämtats från Folksams index för ansvarsfullt företagande för år 2013. Måtten på finansiell prestation har hämtats från årsredovisningar för räkenskapsåret 2013, vilka erhållits genom databasen Retriever och företagens egna hemsidor. Vidare har all data behandlats i statistikprogrammet SPSS där den analyserats med hjälp av multipla regressionsanalyser. Resultat & slutsats: Studien visade att det fanns en positiv relation mellan CSP och företags finansiella prestation. Studien gav vidare stöd åt en relation både utifrån det totala måttet av CSP samt dimensionen miljö. CSR-arbete kan följaktligen anses vara en värdeskapande strategi om man ser till företags finansiella prestation, i synnerhet vad det gäller miljörelaterat arbete. Förslag till fortsatt forskning: Föreliggande studie är av tvärsnittsdesign vilket ibland kritiserats för att vara otillräcklig när relationen som är central i detta arbete studeras. Ett förslag vi lämnar till fortsatta studier är därför att göra en liknande studie över tid för att kunna kartlägga förändringar. Vidare anser vissa forskare att det inte är tillräckligt att mäta företags finansiella prestation endast genom redovisningsmässiga mått, varpå ett förslag är att undersöka samma relation och då även inkludera marknadsmässiga mått. Vi tar i kapitel 5.4 upp fler förslag till vidare forskning. Uppsatsens bidrag: Denna studie bidrar med ytterligare kunskap kring de varierande resultaten av relationen mellan företags CSP och finansiella prestation. Vidare bidrar studien praktiskt till en ökad förståelse för hur CSP påverkar företags finansiella prestation i en svensk kontext.Aim: The Swedish ministry of justice has submitted a legislative proposal that could require about 2000 Swedish companies to report Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), something that today is voluntary. The main purpose of the study is to investigate whether there is any relationship between reported CSR and corporate financial performance. In this area of research, Corporate Social Performance (CSP) has been used to quantify reported CSR. The relationship is studied partly based on an aggregate measure of CSP, but also from the two dimensions environment and human rights. Method: The study is based in positivist research philosophy and adopts a hypothetical-deductive approach. The strategy adopted is quantitative, using a cross-sectional design and secondary data only. The study's sample amounts to 211 companies listed on Nasdaq OMX Stockholm. The data used as a measure of CSP is taken from Folksam’s index for corporate responsibility for 2013. The measures of financial performance is taken from the annual reports for the financial year of 2013, obtained through the database Retriever and the companies' own websites. Furthermore, all data is processed in SPSS where it was analyzed using multiple regression analysis. Results & conclusions: The study showed that there was a positive relationship between CSP and corporate financial performance. The study provided further support for a relationship both from the overall dimension of CSP and the environmental dimension. CSR-related work can therefore be regarded as a value-creating strategy in terms of the company's financial performance, particularly in terms of environment-related work. Suggestions for further research: This study has a cross-sectional design, which is sometimes criticized for being insufficient when the relationship between CSP and financial performance is studied. One suggestion we leave for further studies is to do a similar study over time to identify changes. Furthermore, some researchers believe that it’s not enough to measure the company's financial performance only through accounting-based measures. Therefore, another suggestion is to investigate the relationship including market-based measures. In chapter 5.4 more suggestions for further research are presented. Contributions of the thesis: This study contributes more knowledge to the varying results of the relationship between companies CSP and financial performance. Furthermore, the study's practical contribution is to give a better understanding of how CSP affects financial performance of companies in a Swedish context.

Full textAbstract:
Remotely Operated underwater Vehicles (ROVs) are getting more and more advanced withevery new model. As new functionality is added, the price increases. This thesis is one partof a larger project, where the goal is to develop a low-budget ROV. The ROV should later bemade autonomous and entered into a competition.This thesis have focused on the modeling and stabilizing control of an ROV that was designedby mechanical engineering students at Linköping University. The only sensor used was anInertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and the ROV has a torpedo-like design. The modeling wasdone using identification in Matlab with the grey box and black box methods. Water trialsand simulations show that the model is estimated sufficiently good to be used as the basis ofdifferent model based controllers.Two different control strategies were implemented; a linear quadratic controller (LQ) and amodel predictive controller (MPC). Both controllers worked desirably in simulations. Onlythe LQ controller was evaluated in real world tests. Due to problems with the implementationenvironment chosen for the MPC, the MPC could not be tested.The thesis also uses decision matrices as a mean to motivate the important decisions thathave been made.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2014.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study aims to understand the role that 19th century photography can play in the reconstruction of an era and in the conservation of cultural heritage in the 21st century. The photo collection of William Roe, a photographer from Graaff-Reinet, is used as an example. The origin and development of Graaff-Reinet is used as background information and major events such as the Great Trek, the arrival of the railway, the Anglo-Boer War, the First World War and the Great Flu are touched upon. Aspects such as education, churches, the library and the hospital in Graaff-Reinet complement the study. An overview of the development of photography covers several early photo-making processes. These include the daguerreotype process, Talbot's paper negative process, collotype and the popular carte de visite photographs. Photography specifically in South Africa is also conferred, with particular reference to the first photographers working in the country. Reference is made to the important influences major events like the discovery of diamonds and gold as well as the Anglo-Boer War had on photography. The discussion of William Roe as human being and his legacy as a photographer forms an integral part of the study. The Victorian period is discussed since this was the period in which Roe worked and lived. It had a formative influence on his workmanship. An overview of the Victorian period in England is followed by specific focus on South Africa during this time. The rush to the diamond fields, issues with language and the trends of the times are pointed out. Many of these trends are specifically indicated and discussed as they appear in Roe’s photos. The photos have been categorized to clarify analysis of the different cultural phenomena. The architecture and historical background of Graaff-Reinet’s churches and public buildings are discussed. Streetscapes and images of the town as a whole show the development and daily activities that took place. Photos of clothing represent a reconstruction of the fashions of the concurrent Victorian era and those of public events such as sporting events, celebrations, plays and a gathering during the Anglo-Boer War, display the social life of the community. The role of human memory in the writing of cultural history is compared with the “memory” role of photographs. At the same time the ability of photographs to reflect not only physical culture, but also abstract concepts, receives attention. The use of these abilities of photography in the preservation of culture is a challenge for conservationists of the 21th century.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie het ten doel om die rol wat 19de-eeuse fotografie kan vervul in die rekonstruksie van ’n era en in die bewaring van kultuurgoedere vir die 21ste eeu, aan te spreek. Die fotoversameling van William Roe van Graaff-Reinet word as voorbeeld gebruik. Die ontstaan en ontwikkeling van Graaff-Reinet word as agtergrond behandel en belangrike gebeurtenisse soos onder meer Die Groot Trek, die koms van die spoorlyn, die Anglo- Boereoorlog, die Eerste Wêreldoorlog en die Groot Griep word uitgewys. Aspekte soos opvoeding, kerke, die biblioteek en hospitaal is aanvullend bestudeer om ’n volledige beeld van Graaff-Reinet daar te stel. ’n Oorsig oor die ontwikkeling van fotografie dek verskeie vroeë fotoprosesse soos die daguerreoproses, Talbot se papiernegatief, die calotipe-fotoproses en die gewilde carte-devisite- foto's. Fotografie in Suid-Afrika word bespreek met spesifieke verwysing na die eerste fotograwe wat in die land werksaam was. Daar word verwys na die invloed wat belangrike gebeurtenisse soos die ontdekking van diamante en goud, asook die Anglo-Boereoorlog, op fotografie in Suid-Afrika gehad het. Die ondersoek na William Roe as mens sowel as sy nalatenskap as fotograaf vorm ’n belangrike onderdeel van die studie. Die Victoriaanse era word bespreek aangesien dit die tydperk was waarin Roe geleef en gewerk het, en dus ’n vormende invloed op sy werk gehad het. ’n Oorsig oor die Victoriaanse era in Engeland word gevolg deur ’n beskouing van dié era in Suid-Afrika. Die stormloop na die diamantvelde, taalkwessies en heersende modeneigings word uitgewys. Baie van die modeneigings word tydens die ontleding van die kultuurverskynsels op die Roe-foto’s opgemerk en bespreek. Die foto’s vir die ontleding van kultuurverskynsels is in kategorieë ingedeel. Die argitektuur en historiese agtergrond van kerke en openbare geboue word bespreek. Straat- en dorpsbeelde dui die ontwikkeling van en bedrywighede op die dorp aan. Kleredragfoto’s bied ’n rekonstruksie van die modes van die Victoriaanse era terwyl die foto’s van openbare geleenthede soos sportbyeenkomste, feesvieringe, toneelopvoerings asook ’n samekoms tydens die Anglo-Boereoorlog die sosiale lewe van die inwoners van die dorp aandui. Die rol van die menslike geheue in kultuurgeskiedskrywing word vergelyk met die rol van foto’s as “geheue”. Terselfdertyd word die vermoë van foto’s om nie net fisiese kultuur te weerspieël nie, maar ook abstrakte konsepte te verteenwoordig, behandel. Die aanwending van hierdie eienskappe van fotografie in kultuurbewaring is ’n uitdaging vir bewaringskundiges van die 21ste eeu.

A estimação foi feita com os dados de painel estático, com base no método dos efeitos aleatórios.
De todas as variáveis do modelo, as mais significativas para explicar a rentabilidade bancária em Cabo Verde são as variáveis especificas dos bancos. O modelo que utiliza a margem financeira líquida como variável dependente parece ser o mais adequado para descortinar os determinantes da rentabilidade bancária, pois é aquele que obtém melhores resultados em termos da significância estatística das suas variáveis explicativas; The banking system in Cape Verde: The performance of commercial banks and the determinants of profitability
Abstract:
This thesis aims to analyze the determinants of bank profitability in Cape Verde, as measured by return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE) and net interest margin (NIM). For this analysis a sample of the four largest banks Cape Verdeans and a set of eleven independent variables from 2005 to 2013. The estimation was done with the static panel data, based on the method of random effects was used.
Of all the variables in the model, the most significant in explaining bank profitability in Cape Verde are the specific variables of banks. The model uses net interest margin as the dependent variable seems to be the most appropriate to unveil the determinants of bank profitability, as it is the one that gets the best results in terms of statistical significance of their explanatory variables.

Corporate governance debates and reforms have been advocating for majority inclusion of independent non-executive directors on the board of directors. There is spreading belief that independently structured boards is associated with the effectiveness of the board and therefore translate into high value company performance. Although studies on board composition in South Africa have been conducted, most studies paid special attention to board diversity such as gender and race but very little attention to the expertise of an independent director. The aim of this study is to examine the causal relationship between a board composition and financial performanceThe research was conducted using listed South African platinum mining companies in Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE). Quantitative research methodology was chosen for the study. The proxies for a board composition were the size of the board, independent non-executive director and non-executive director with industry expertise. The Proxies for company performance are ROA, ROE, Tobin‟s q and EVA. Three hypotheses about the size of the board, proportion of independent non-executive director and non-executive directors with industry expertise were proposed and tested.The research result on the first hypothesis suggested that a small size of the board of directors has statistical significant positive relationship with EVA as compared the larger size of the board. The second hypothesis result suggested there is statistically positive relationship between the independent non-executive director and EVA. The third hypothesis result on inclusion of non-executive with industry expertise was not conclusive.Dissertation (MBA)--University of Pretoria, 2012.

Full textAbstract:
Syfte: Då tidigare forskning har visat varierande och motsägelsefulla resultat vad gäller relationen mellan CSP och finansiell prestation, skapar det en förståelse för att andra variabler påverkar relationen. Syftet med följande studie är att undersöka om och hur graden av internt ägande påverkar relationen mellan socialt ansvar och finansiell prestation. Metod: Denna studie har utifrån en positivistisk forskningsfilosofi, med en deduktiv ansats, antagit en kvantitativ forskningsstrategi. En tvärsnittsdesign har utförts där enbart sekundärdata har tillämpats som hämtats från Thomson Reuters Datastream. Analysering av sekundärdata har utförts genom deskriptiv statistik och multipla regressionsanalyser i statistikprogrammet SPSS. Resultat & slutsats: Resultatet indikerar att det inte är möjligt att visa hur graden av internt ägande påverkar relationen mellan socialt ansvar och finansiell prestation. Studien visar däremot att det föreligger en negativ relation mellan företags arbete med socialt ansvar och finansiell prestation (ROA och Tobin’s Q), samt mellan socialt ansvar och internt ägande. Förslag till fortsatt forskning: Förslag till framtida forskning är framförallt att fortsätta på den nya unika forskningsinriktningen som följande studie belyst, genom att studera hur graden av internt ägande påverkar relationen mellan CSR och finansiell prestation (läs fler förslag under avsnitt 6.5 Förslag till vidare forskning). Uppsatsens bidrag: Studien bidrar med mer empiriskt material till variationerna som tidigare forskning framställt gällande relationen mellan CSP och finansiell prestation, samt relationen mellan internt ägande och CSP. Studien har även bidragit till en ny forskningsinriktning gällande de interna ägarnas påverkan på relationen mellan socialt ansvar och finansiell prestation.Purpose: Since previous research has shown diverse and contradictory results regarding the relationship between CSP and financial performance, it creates an understanding that other variables may affect the relationship. The purpose of the study is to examine whether and how the level of insider ownership affects the relationship between social responsibility and financial performance. Method: This study was based on a positivistic research philosophy, with a deductive approach and adopted a quantitative research strategy. A cross-sectional design has been carried out using only secondary data that was collected from Thomson Reuters Datastream. The secondary data was analyzed by descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis in SPSS. Results & Conclusions: The result wasn’t able to show how the level of insider ownership affects the relationship between social responsibility and financial performance. However, the study showed that there is a negative relationship between the social responsibility and financial performance (ROA and Tobin’s Q), as well as between social responsibility and insider ownership. Suggestions for further research: Suggestions submitted to future research is to continue on the new unique research approach that this study has shed light on, by studying how the level of insider ownership affects the relationship between CSR and financial performance (read more suggestions under section 6.5 Suggestions for further research). Contributions of the thesis: The study provides more empirical data to the varying results that previous researchers has shown in attempt to examine the relationship between CSP and financial performance, and the relationship between insider ownership and CSP. The study has also contributed to a new research area regarding the insider ownership and how they influence the relationship between social responsibility and financial performance.

Full textAbstract:
Banks today are the largest financial institutions around the world, with branches and subsidiaries throughout everyone’s life. However, commercial banks are facing risks when they are operating. Credit risk is one of the most significant risks that banks face, considering that granting credit is one of the main sources of income in commercial banks. Therefore, the management of the risk related to that credit affects the profitability of the banks. The aim of the research is to provide stakeholders with accurate information regarding the credit risk management of commercial banks with its impact on profitability. The main purpose of the research is to investigate if there is a relationship between credit risk management and profitability of commercial banks in Europe. We also aim to investigate if the relationship is stable or fluctuating. In the research model, ROE and ROA are defined as proxies of profitability while NPLR and CAR are defined as proxies of credit risk management. The research collects data from the largest 47 commercial banks in Europe from 2007 to 2012 and formulates four hypotheses which are related to the research question. A series of statistical tests are performed in order to test if the relationship exists. Other statistical tests are performed to investigate if the relationship is stable or not. The findings reveal that credit risk management does have positive effects on profitability of commercial banks. Between the two proxies of credit risk management, NPLR has a significant effect on the both ROE and ROA while CAR has an insignificant effect on both ROE and ROA. However, from 2007 to 2012, the relationships between all the proxies are not stable but fluctuating.

Full textAbstract:
Företagens främsta uppgift är att maximera värdet för aktieägarna. Länge ansågs detta endast vara möjligt om företagets resurser enbart ägnas åt kärnverksamheten och att affärsmässiga aktiviteter som rör hållbarhet skadar företagets förmåga att vinstmaximera. I takt med samhällets ökade intresse för hållbart företagande har den traditionella synen på vinstmaximering utmanats av teorier som menar att företagen behöver ta hänsyn till ett bredare spektrum av intressenter och dess behov för att kunna vinstmaximera. Sverige ligger i framkant globalt när det kommer till hållbarhetsarbete och rankades år 2020 som världens mest hållbara land vilket lyfter frågan huruvida svenska företag noterade på Stockholmsbörsen kan vinstmaximera genom att inkorporera ett hållbart företagande i sina affärsstrategier. Tidigare studier har påvisat både positiva och negativa samband mellan hållbart företagande och finansiell prestation, men ingen studie har till vår vetskap genomförts på svenska börsnoterade företag. Studiens syfte var därför att undersöka om det finns ett samband mellan hållbart företagande och finansiell prestation. För att kvantifiera företagens hållbarhetsprestationer användes Refinitivs ESGC-betyg som visar hur företag presterar inom områden relaterade till miljön, samhället och företagsstyrning. Företagens finansiella prestation mäts med hjälp av det marknadsbaserade lönsamhetsmåttet Tobin’s Q samt de resultatbaserade måtten Return on Equity (ROE) och Return on Assets (ROA). Studien testar även sambanden mellan de enskilda komponenterna i ESG-betyget, E, S och G, och de finansiella prestationsmåtten för att identifiera skillnader mellan delbetygens påverkan på det finansiella. Genom multipla regressionsanalyser utförda på 40 företag över 10 år besvaras studiens två frågeställningar. Studiens resultat visade att det finns ett positivt signifikant samband mellan ESGC-betyg och de finansiella prestationsmåtten ROE och ROA inom svenska företag noterade på Stockholmsbörsen. Vidare kunde ett signifikant positivt samband även påvisas mellan delbetyget E och ROE, delbetyget S och ROE, samt ett signifikant positivt samband mellan delbetyget S och ROA. Baserat på resultaten drogs slutsatsen att hållbart företagande, vilket representeras av ESGC-betyget, leder till bättre finansiella prestationer representerat av ett högre ROE och ROA bland svenska företag som är noterade på Stockholmsbörsen. Vidare drogs även slutsatsen att en ökad satsning på de faktorer som relaterad till miljön inom ESG-betyget ger bättre finansiella prestationer i form av ett högre ROE. Dessutom konstateras att en ökad satsning inom de faktorer som relaterar till det sociala inom ESG-betyget leder till bättre finansiella prestationer i form av ett högre ROE och ROA. Dessa upptäckter stöttar teorin om att ett utökat hänsynstagande till den affärsmässiga omgivningen i form av exempelvis miljö- och social påverkan utöver enbart aktieägarens intresse leder till vinstmaximering.

Full textAbstract:
Syfte: Syftet är att undersöka om ökad miljöprestanda leder till finansiell lönsamhet inom miljöinnovativa företag samt om det råder någon skillnad utifrån olika branscher. Jordens resurser överkonsumeras och klimatförändringarna blir ett allt mer omdiskuterat ämne hos såväl organisationer som dess intressenter. Det är därför av betydelse att förhållandet mellan miljöprestanda och finansiella resultat vidare undersöks. Metod: Studien bygger på en positivistisk kvantitativ metod med en deduktiv ansats utifrån ställda hypoteser. Sekundärdata från 570 miljöinnovativa företag har hämtats från Thomson Reuters Datastream. För att avgränsa studien till företag som är miljöinnovativa har enbart företag med A- och B-betyg utifrån Thomson Reuters innovationsskala inkluderats. Datamaterialet har analyserats med hjälp av IBM SPSS. Tidsperioden utgörs av åren 2015–2019.Resultat & slutsats: Studiens resultat visar ett positivt samband mellan miljöprestanda och finansiell lönsamhet för samtliga branscher. Resultatet för respektive bransch visar hur sambandet skiljer sig åt mellan olika branscher. Slutsatsen för denna studie är att det utifrån samtliga branscher lönar sig för företag att göra gröna investeringar. Resultat & slutsats: Studiens resultat ger även stöd för att branschspecifika egenskaper och förutsättningar påverkar vilka effekter på lönsamheten som företag kan förvänta sig av gröna investeringar.Examensarbetets bidrag: Studien har för avsikt att bidra till det företagsekonomiska ämnet och det forskningsgap som finns beträffande sambandet mellan ökad miljöprestanda och finansiell lönsamhet. Ytterligare ett bidrag till litteraturen är avgränsningen mot miljöinnovativa företag. Studien ämnar även att klargöra om det råder skillnad i sambandet mellan olika branscher. Förslag till fortsatt forskning: Det vore intressant att djupare studera sambandet inom miljöinnovativa företag i de olika branscherna för att komma fram till specifika egenskaper som leder till lönsamhet. Det vore även intressant att genomföra en liknande studie i framtiden då intressenternas påtryckningar ökar för att undersöka om kopplingen till lönsamhet blir starkare. En djupare analys av skillnader mellan länder skulle kunna visa om landspecifika faktorer påverkar sambandet.

Mestrado em FinançasEste estudo analisa a informação fornecida pelos relatórios financeiros e como os investidores podem ter alterado a informação que consideram relevante devido à crise de 2007-2009. Este acontecimento e a falência de várias empresas poderão ter levado à diminuição da confiança na informação fornecida nestes relatórios. Foram analisados os retornos das ações e os relatórios financeiros de forma a concluir se a crise alterou os dados que os investidores consideram relevantes. Foram usados dois métodos (método direto e o método de avaliação inputs-to-equity) e variáveis consideradas relevantes em estudos e períodos anteriores (return on equity, return on assets, EBITDA, EBIT, Net Cash flow e Net Income). Adicionalmente, foi também incluída uma nova variável de responsabilidade social que ganhou relevância recentemente (Lins et al, 2016). No primeiro método, os resultados revelaram o ROE como a medida contabilística preferida e o ROA como também sendo estatisticamente significativo. De acordo com o segundo método, os resultados obtidos anteriormente foram reforçados, sendo ambas medidas consideradas as mais relevantes. Adicionalmente, não foi encontrada evidência estatística de que a responsabilidade social corporativa tem efeito no retorno das ações no período subsequente à crise financeira.
This study analyses the information provided by financial reports and how investor may have changed the data that they consider relevant due to the financial crisis of 2007-2009. This event and the bankruptcy of several companies have leaded to a lack of confidence in the information provided. I analysed the stock returns and the financial reports in order to conclude if the crisis changed the data that investors consider relevant. It was used two different methods (direct method and inputs-to-equity valuation method) and variables considered relevant in previous studies and periods (return on equity, return of assets, EBITDA, EBIT, Net Cash flow and Net Income). Additionally, it was included a new variable of Corporate Social Responsibility that has gained relevance recently (Lins et al, 2016). The results obtained using the first method revealed that ROE was the preferred measure and ROA was also statistically significant. According to the second method, those two ratios were the most relevant measures for investors when analyzing the financial reports. Also, there was no statically evidence that Corporate Social Responsibility influence the stock returns after the crisis.

Mestrado em Economia e Políticas PúblicasO presente trabalho teve como principais objectivos analisar a importância da regulação no sector financeiro e relacioná-la com o desempenho das instituições financeiras europeias entre os anos de 2000 e 2012. Analisámos dez países europeus com diferentes níveis de crescimento do Produto Interno Bruto (PIB). Para as instituições financeiras de cada um dos países analisámos os indicadores de desempenho: o rácio rendibilidade do activo (Return On Assets) e o rácio rendibilidade do capital próprio (Return On Equity). Os principais resultados da análise indicam que, nos anos que antecederam a crise financeira internacional, os rácios de desempenho são maiores do que os rácios alcançados nos anos seguintes ao início da crise financeira internacional. A análise comparativa entre as dez principais instituições financeiras europeias e as dez principais instituições americanas revelaram que, em ambos os casos, os anos de 2007-2008 foram marcados por baixos rácios de rendibilidade. No entanto, os anos seguintes foram de recuperação, tendo as instituições americanas evidenciado melhores resultados do que as instituições europeias. A principal conclusão que retiramos do presente trabalho é que a regulação financeira tem um papel fundamental no desempenho das instituições financeiras europeias. Após implementação de novos quadros regulatórios verificou-se uma melhoria dos níveis de desempenho na generalidade dos países analisados.
This paper analyses the importance of regulation in the financial sector and relates it to the performance of European financial institutions between 2000 and 2012. Ten European countries with different levels of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) have been analysed. For each country's financial institutions the performance indicators studied were: Return on Assets ratio and Return on Equity ratio. The main results of the analysis indicate that in the years leading up to the global financial crisis the performance ratios were higher than the ratios achieved in the years after the beginning of the international financial crisis. A comparative analysis between the ten leading European financial institutions and the top ten American institutions revealed that in both cases the years 2007-2008 were marked by low profitability ratios. However, the following years were of recovery, with American institutions revealing better results than the European institutions. The main conclusion we draw from this study is that financial regulation has a key role in the performance of European financial institutions. In the years following the implementation of new regulatory frameworks there was an improvement in the performance levels of the overall countries analysed.

Thesis, University of Aberdeen, 1993. http://digitool.abdn.ac.uk/R?func=search-advanced-go&find_code1=WSN&request1=AAIU059041.
Full textAbstract:
The ageing tips of vertebrate rod photoreceptors, (known as rod outer segments, or ROS), are phagocytosed by the retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells, which lie in close apposition to them. It has been shown by several workers, using in vitro RPE cell cultures, that ROS bind to the RPE cells with a higher affinity than other particles. On the basis of this and other evidence in the literature, it has been proposed that there is a 'ROS receptor' on the RPE plasma membrane, and a corresponding ligand on the ROS plasma membrane. In this project, an attempt has been made to identify and characterise the ROS plasma membrane ligand. At an early stage in this project, another research group published an abstract in which they proposed that a high molecular weight ROS integral plasma membrane protein, now known to be a Na+/Ca2+ exchanger, was the ligand referred to above. In this project, the proteins of bovine ROS membranes were analysed by SDS-PAGE. It appeared that one particular Coomassie blue staining band, by virtue of its molecular weight, might have been the Na+/Ca2+exchanger and putative ligand. Moreover, the results of a vectorial ROS membrane protein radio-iodination study were apparently consistent with the band representing a plasma membrane spanning protein, rather than a protein located in the much more abundant ROS disc membranes, which are enclosed by the plasma membrane. However, neither an extension of the vectorial radio-iodination study, which involved the chemical cleavage of the radiolabelled Coomassie staining band into peptides, nor a Ficoll Flotation study, in which an attempt was made to fractionate ROS membranes into disc and plasma membrane components, provided evidence that the Coomassie staining band referred to above represented a plasma membrane spanning protein.

Full textAbstract:
Planar antennas are used in several technical applications. The family of planar antennas contains microstrip antennas, which are very popular due to the low weight, low profile, simple manufacturing and easy mass production. Lower gain and excitation of surface waves are disadvantages of microstrip antennas. The propagation of surface waves can be efficiently suppressed if the conventional substrate is replaced by an electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) substrate. Microstrip antennas on EBG substrates have been presented in an open literature for several years. Nevertheless, no published work is devoted to the design of EBG substrates, which can suppress surface waves at several frequencies those cannot be covered by a single bandgap. In order to reach optimum parameters of designed antennas, selected global optimization methods are applied (genetic algorithms, particle swarm optimization, ant colony optimization).

The aim of the thesis is to determine the relation between subjectively perceived and financially measured performance of a firm. The introduction of the thesis is focused on performance characteristics and measurement. Further, based on foreign and domestic researches, subjectively perceived performance is defined and comparison with objectively (financially) measured one is made. Results of the researches prove that between subjectively perceived and financially measured performance, there exists substantial to very strong statistical association. Following on an own research was carried out. As the tool for data collection serves a questionnaire sent to firms from the Czech and Slovak Republic. The data collected are compared with values of select financial measures: with ROA, ROE, ROS and Gross Sales. Said own research also confirmed a positive correlation between subjectively perceived and financially measured performance of the firm, albeit weaker than in foreign researches.

Este estudo visa compreender quais os determinantes da persistência da rendibilidade na Indústria Alimentar, utilizando como medidas de rendibilidade, o ROA (rendibilidade do ativo) e o ROE (rendibilidade do capital próprio). Como possíveis determinantes da persistência da rendibilidade o estudo em causa considera tais determinantes como sendo o tamanho, endividamento, crescimento, estrutura de custos, accruals, volatilidade e anos de experiência. Também foram consideradas variáveis de controlo como CAE, região e ano. Para concretizar o objetivo do estudo utilizou-se a base de dado SABI - Sistema de Análises de Balanços Ibéricos para extrair uma amostra de empresas da Indústria Alimentar portuguesa. Os resultados mostram que os fatores tamanho, endividamento e volatilidade contribuem para explicar a persistência do ROA e do ROE, já a variável idade explica apenas a persistência do ROE.
In the international literature, the study of the persistence of profitability in companies has been subject of investigation with major emphasis in the last years. The study aims to understand the determinants of the persistence of the profitability in the Food Industry, using as measures of profitability, the ROA (return on assets) and the ROE (return on equity). As possible determinants of the persistence of profitability, the follow study specified some as size, leverage, growth, cost structure, accruals, volatility and years of experience. And it was also considered control variables such as CAE, region and year. To achieve the goal of the study, we used the database of SABI - System of Analysis of Iberian Balances to extract a sample of companies in the Portuguese Food Industry. The results showed that factors as size, debt and volatility allows to explain the persistence of ROA and ROE, the age factor explains only the persistence of ROE.

Full textAbstract:
Bakgrund Hållbarhet är ett ämne som fått en central roll i dagens samhälle, inte minst inomföretagsvärlden. I och med att förväntningarna på dagens företag ökar när det kommertill att ta ett större samhällsansvar, följer därmed ökade åtaganden inom hållbarhet förföretag. Kunskapsläget vad gäller relationen mellan CSR och lönsamhet är idag splittrat.Tidigare studier har presenterat positiva, negativa såväl som neutrala samband varpå detär av hög relevans för fortsatt utveckling av kunskapsläget. Denna studie kommerav världens mest hållbara länder. Syfte Syftet med studien är att undersöka vilken påverkan svenska företags arbete medCorporate Social Responsibility, har på lönsamhet. Metod Studien tillämpar en kvantitativ metod och utgår från en positivistisk forskningsfilosofimed en hypotetisk-deduktiv ansats. Studien är en tvärsnittsstudie och har genomförtsmed hjälp av en surveyundersökning där informationen om företags arbete med CSRsamlats in med hjälp av enkäter. Vidare har sekundärdata i form av årsredovisningaranvänts för att beräkna nyckeltalen ROA, ROE och ROIC. Studien har använt godtagenmetod för analyserna genom bland annat stöd i tidigare forskning och med hjälp avstatistikprogrammet Minitab. Resultat & slutsats tudiens resultat visar på både positiva, negativa och neutrala samband mellan de fyradimensionerna av CSR och lönsamhetsmåtten ROA, ROE och ROIC. Framför allt stacktvå resultat ut, vilka var H4 och H12, där positiva samband mellan den diskretionäradimensionen och lönsamhet mätt i ROA och ROIC kunde påvisas. Vidare kunde ävennegativa samband påvisas, dock med en låg förklaringsgrad varpå resultatet inte mednågon större säkerhet kunde styrkas. Sammantaget kan studien påvisa att företags arbetemed den diskretionära dimensionen i genomsnitt påverkar företags lönsamhet positivt.Svaret på frågan om vilken påverkan svenska företags arbete med CSR har pålönsamhet kan därför sammanfattas i att olika aktiviteter har olika effekt. Däremot drarstudien slutsatsen att företags diskretionära aktiviteter, såsom att skänka pengar tillvälgörenhet, har en positiv påverkan på lönsamhet och därför något som företag börfortsätta med då det gynnar både företaget och samhället i stort.Background Sustainability has become a central role in today's society, not least in the companyworld. However, there are divided opinions about the view on Corporate SocialResponsibility. Some argue that companies need to divide their attention to all of theirstakeholders. Others argue that Corporate Social Responsibility does not go along withcompanies main task, which is to produce and generate maximum profit and in that waybe beneficial to society by offering more jobs, which in turn leads to more tax revenueand in the long run contributes to society. Previous research on the impact of CSRprofitability presents results pointing in different directions. Positive, negative as well asneutral impact has been demonstrated. This study will therefore examon profitability in the swedish context as Sweden has shown to be one of the world'smost sustainable countries. Purpose The purpose of the study is to investigate the impact of Swedish companies' work withCorporate Social Responsibility on profitability. Method The study applies a quantitative method and is based on a positivistic researchphilosophy with a hypothetico-deductive approach. The study is a cross-sectional studyand has been carried out with the help of a survey where the information aboutcompanies' work with CSR was collected with the help of questionnaires. Furthermore,secondary data has been retrieved from annual reports which have been used tocalculate the key figures ROA, ROE and ROIC. The study used an accepted method forthe analysis through the use of previous studies and with the help of the statisticsprogram Minitab. Result & conclusion The study's result points toward positive, negative as well as neutral relationshipsbetween the four dimensions of CSR and the key figures ROA, ROE and ROIC. Inparticular, two results stood out, which were H4 and H12, where a positive relationbetween the discretionary dimension and profitability measured in ROA and ROICcould be demonstrated. Furthermore, negative relationships could also be demonstrated,albeit with a low degree of explanation. All in all, the study can show that thediscretionary dimension has a positive effect on companies' profitability. The otherindicators cannot prove the opposite with certainty. The answer to the question of whatimpact Swedish companies' work with CSR has on profitability can therefore besummarized in the fact that different activities have different effects. However, thestudy concludes that companies' discretionary activities, such as donating money tocharity, have a positive impact on profitability and therefore something that companiesshould continue with as it benefits both the company and society at large.

Mestrado em FinançasA presente investigação pretende estudar as variáveis associadas às especificidades das instituições financeiras (determinantes internos), do sector financeiro e macroeconómicas (determinantes externos) e analisar o seu impacto na performance do sector bancário português, no período entre 2005 e 2011. A performance bancária é avaliada pela taxa de rendibilidade do activo (ROA) e pela taxa de rendibilidade do capital próprio (ROE). Os determinantes internos seleccionados foram o capital, os custos operacionais, a liquidez, o risco de crédito, a diversificação e a dimensão dos bancos e como determinantes externos foram escolhidos o PIB, a inflação, a taxa de desemprego e a concentração de mercado. Este estudo aplicou um modelo de regressão com dados de painel de efeitos fixos, com recurso a uma amostra que inclui 126 observações de 18 bancos portugueses, num horizonte temporal de 7 anos. Os resultados demonstraram que, as variáveis que apresentaram maior poder explicativo sobre o ROAA (rendibilidade do activo médio), foram os custos operacionais, a liquidez e risco de crédito, o PIB e a Inflação. Quanto ao ROAE (rendibilidade do capital médio), as variáveis com maior significância estatística, foram o capital, os custos operacionais, a liquidez. A variável PIB apresentou com um nível de significância de 10% e a Inflação não revelou significância estatística. A variável concentração, revelou significância estatística e efeito positivo sobre a performance, no ROAA e ROAE, existindo evidência para apoiar a teoria Structure-Conduct-Performance (SCP).
This research aims to study the variables associated to specific financial institutions (internal determinants), the financial sector and macroeconomic (external determinants) and analyze their impact on the performance of the Portuguese banking sector, in the period between 2005 and 2011. The bank performance is measured through Return On Assets (ROA) and Return On Equity (ROE). The internal factors tested are the bank's capital, costs, liquidity, asset quality, size and activity diversification. The external factors considered are GDP, inflation, and unemployment and market concentration. This study applied a regression model with panel data fixed effects, using a sample that includes 126 observations of 18 Portuguese banks, during 7 years. The results showed that the variables with the highest explanatory power on the ROAA (Return On Average Assets), were operational costs, liquidity, credit risk, GDP and Inflation. For the ROAE ( Return On Average Equity), the variables with greater significance, were the capital, operating costs and liquidity. The variables GDP and Inflation suggested weak significance. The variable concentration had a positive effect on performance, either in the variable ROAA and ROAE, so there is evidence to support the Structure-Conduct-Performance (SCP) theory.

La educación es esencial para generar una serie de cambios. En el caso de Isla de Pascua, además de potenciar directamente la cultura Rapanui, hay formas indirectas para poner en valor esta misma, ya que puede permitir la disminución de la dependencia del continente, teniendo personas calificadas en la isla para hacer las tareas de la isla, lo que significa importar menos mano de obra del continente por ejemplo, lo que permitiría un cierto grado de protección para la isla, puesto que hoy con las migraciones tanto de turistas como de trabajadores se ha generado un choque cultural, además de no dar abasto con la población migrante. Este proyecto viene a ser la primera etapa de un proyecto educacional para Rapa Nui, complementando la ya existente Aldea Educativa (liceo técnico-profesional y humanista-científico municipal). Entonces el fin último del proyecto es generar un proyecto educacional que contemple los lineamientos de la reforma educacional chilena (1997) con los ojos de la cultura Rapanui.

Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2003.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This empirical study was aimed at analysing the financial performance of black economic empowered companies, as selected per Impumelelo publication - 2000/1 edition. The Unit of Analysis of this study is therefore the phenomenon commonly described as Black Economic Empowerment, and in particular the financial performance of these business entities with specific interest in the following ratios; ROE, ROA, PIE and DIE. The fundamental problems analysed in this study are: Whether these Companies can financially perform consistently, with specific reference to ROE (Management effectiveness) and ROA (Company's efficiency); Whether these Companies utilised their capital efficiently - Financial leverage; Whether is worth investing in any commercial bank or in black economic empowerment Companies; Market perception of these Companies; Whether these Companies are really highly geared; through a comparative study between Impumelelo sample and similar white-owned companies, to assess the better performer on Management effectiveness and Company efficiency. The purpose of this study was further to draw appropriate empowerment strategies from the U.S.A, Malaysia and Brazil; contextualised them into the South African situation. The outcomes of these analysis revealed that black economic empowerment companies are indeed highly geared than their white-counterparts, and due to this inherent risk inconsistency in performance has been identified. Within the selected performance categories only half of the sample is classified as good performers, eight percent as excellent performers while profitability is maintained by seventy six percent of the companies. Over the period reviewed more then ninety percent of these companies' consistently signalled wrong perceptions to the market. On the comparative study, the Impumelelo sample overwhelmingly outperformed the white-owned sample on ROE and ROA per sector. Impumelelo sample revealed volatility in the returns comparing to low stable returns by the white-owned sample.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doel van hierdie empiriese studie was om die finansiële prestasie van swart ekonomiesbemagtigde maatskappye, soos geselekteer deur Impumelelo - 2000/1 uitgawe, te analiseer. Die onderwerp van hierdie studie is dus die verskynsel gewoonlik beskryf as Swart Ekonomiese Bemagtiging, en in die besonder die finansiële prestasies van hierdie entiteite, veral die volgende verhoudings (ratio's): Wins op Belegging, Wins op Bates, Prys/verdienste en Skuld/ekwiteit. Die fundamentele probleme wat hierdie studie analiseer is: Kan hierdie maatskappye konsekwent finansieel presteer veral wat betref Bekwaamheid van Bestuur en Bekwaamheid van die Maatskappy? Kan hierdie maatskappye hulle kapitaal effektief gebruik? (Finansiële hefboming.) Is dit beter om in 'n handelsbank te belê of in swart ekonomies-bemagtigde maatskappye? Wat is die mark persepsie van hierdie maatskappye? Maak hierdie maatskappye werklik op grootskaal gebruik van hefboming? Hoe vergelyk hierdie Impumelelo steekproef met soortgelyke maatskappye in wit besit, veral wat betref die bedrewenheid van die bestuur en die effektiwiteit van die maatskappy? 'n Verdere doelwit van hierdie studie is om toepaslike bemagtigings strategië van die VSA, Malaysië en Brasilië te bestudeer in samehang met die Suid-Afrikaanse situasie. Die uitslag van hierdie studie is dat swart ekonomies-bemagtigde maatskappye inderdaad meer van hefboming gebruik maak as hulle wit eweknieë, en as 'n gevolg van hierdie inherente risiko is hulle prestasies soms inkonsekwent. In die selekteerde prestasie kategorië kon net die helfde van die steekproef geklassifiseer word as goeie presteerders en agt persent as uitstaande presteerders. Ses-en-sewentig van die maatskappye toon 'n wins. Gedurende die periode onder bespreking het meer as neëntig persent van hierdie maatskappye aanhoudend verkeerde seine na die mark uitgestuur. In die vergelykende studie het die Impumelelo steekproef oorweldigend die steekproef in wit besit verbygesteek veral wat effektiwiteit betref per sektor. Die Impumelelo steekproef se wins is onbestendig in vergelyking met die lae, stabiele wins van die steekproef in wit besit.

This thesis investigates financial results from RFID integration at product level in semiconductor manufacturing. The thesis explores how the technology might act in concert with other significant logistics tools to create return on investment. In this case, the use of RFID, along with postponement and Kanban practices, may help a manufacturer better align supply with central processing unit (CPU) demand. The resulting economic benefits are explored through yield scenarios. It is important to note that the thesis explores this topic without the benefit of empirical data. Consequently, a number of assumptions were made; these assumptions may affect the validity of the observations. Nonetheless, the study demonstrates an innovative approach that may contribute to new models of creative problem solving.

Full textAbstract:
La spécificité de l’étude juridique du cas de l’enfant rom nécessite la coordination de différentes notions du droit. En effet, l’enfant rom se distingue par son appartenance à une minorité nationale et/ou ethnique, son statut de mineur de dix-huit ans et sa nationalité généralement étrangère, qu’il soit ressortissant communautaire ou issu d’un État tiers l’Union européenne ; qualifications dont la portée à l’égard de la personne de l’enfant doit être appréciée. Si l’intégration en droit interne de l’appartenance à un groupe minoritaire est de prime abord discutable, l’influence des normes de droit international et de droit européen relatives aux minorités, ainsi que l’orientation jurisprudentielle de la Cour européenne des droits de l’homme, témoignent de l’importance de cette notion dans le domaine du droit. En outre, la situation de mineur de dix-huit ans de l’enfant rom le place en principe sous la protection d’un statut adapté aux particularismes de l’enfance. Cependant, la difficile conciliation du droit aux circonstances de fait entourant la présence en France de l’enfant rom l’expose à des traitements non respectueux de son statut de mineur ou du principe de non discrimination, dans les domaines de la législation régissant l’entrée et le séjour en France des étrangers, de la jouissance des droits fondamentaux à l’instruction, à la santé, aux prestations sociales et familiales ou encore de sa protection contre la délinquanceWhat makes the legal analysis of the rights of the Roma Child so unique is that he is at the cross-road of several legal approaches. Indeed, the Roma Child is unique in the sense that he belongs to an ethnic and/or national minority, is less than 18 years old, in most cases is considered as a foreigner where he lives (whether from one of the European Union countries or not), all this to be put in perspective of his legal status of Child. If the integration of the fact that this child belongs to a « minority community » is very challengeable in regard to the National Legal Rights, it is obviously much more meaningful in regard to the international and European rights of the Minorities, both in terms of laws and jurisprudence of the European court of Justice. Furthermore, the legal rights of the Roma child as member of a minority are superseded by the rights of the children under the age of 18. However, the reality is sometimes not aligned with the legal principles when the actual circumstances of the presence of this child on the French territory expose him to treatment which are un-respectful to his status of child, and to the legal principles against discrimination. This is particularly true with respect to the laws regulating the entrance and circulation of foreigners on the French territory, which will collide with his rights to education, health, social benefits and protection against delinquency

Full textAbstract:
The focus of this work has been on hybrid insulation in inhomogeneous electric fields under lightning impulse voltage stress. The principal idea behind hybrid insulation is the intentional use of surface charges to re-distribute the electric field within an insulation system. This allows a significant part of the electric stress to be transferred from the dielectric weaker gas to the dielectric stronger solid insulation thus increasing the total electric strength of the insulation system.
The concept has been theoretically and experimentally addressed by means of a hemispheric rod covered with a layer of solid insulation. Discharge activity and surface charge accumulation have been studied in an air gap by measuring the voltage and discharge current and recording the discharge activity using a high-speed digital camera. New methods have been introduced and evaluated for the evaluation of surface charge measurements.
The experiments found that the increase in positive inception voltage was considerable compared to uncovered rods. This increase varied from 35% up to 100% depending on the electrode distance. The increase in breakdown strength is higher than the increase in inception voltage and dependent on the covered length of the rod. During the application of a lightning impulse, the discharge activity spreads upwards along the rod and out into the air gap. Positive discharges form numerous branches and bridge the air gap in most cases. Negative discharges are more diffuse, less light intensive and only form a few branches around the tip of the rod where the electric field is the strongest. Discharge activity along the insulating surface has been observed where the background field is lower than the critical electric field strength. Visible discharge activity is observed where the background field is higher than 2.3 kV/mm and 2.5 kV/mm for positive and negative impulses respectively.
During the application of lightning impulses, discharge activity starts in the air gap around the tip where the electric field is highest and spreads upwards along the rod. As expected, negative charges accumulate on the surface in the case of positive impulse voltage and vice versa. However, after more powerful discharges during negative impulse voltage application, surface charges of both polarities have been observed.
Accumulated surface charges decay exponentially with a time constant τ varying from micro-seconds to hours depending on the material properties of the solid insulation. The dominating relaxation mechanism is found to be conduction through the solid insulation.
Improved methods to calculate surface charges based on probe response for a 2D axial symmetric case have been developed and evaluated. The method that is best suited for this purpose is the λ-method with truncated singular value decomposition (TSVD) as regularization.
Surface charge calculations show that the accumulated surface charges for the used configuration typically have a maximum value of 0.6 to 1.5 µC/m² and 0.4 to 1 µC/m² after positive and negative impulses respectively. The surface charge density in the areas with the highest discharge activity is relatively uniform. Further upwards along the rod, the surface charge density is reduced relatively fast towards zero, and in some cases, it changes polarity before approaching zero.

The reduction or elimination of leakage of hydraulic fluid from fluid power systems is considered a fundamental prerequisite for the expanded use of fluid power. There is also a need to reduce seal friction to both reduce energy dissipation and eliminate control problems. These seals are developed through empirical means at the present time, since the fundamental physics of seal operation has been unclear.
This research develops numerical models for analyzing reciprocating hydraulic rod seals with various rod surfaces. These models consist of coupled fluid mechanics, contact mechanics and deformation analyses. Both flooded and starved lubrication boundary conditions are applied.
For seals with a smooth rod and a plunge-ground rod, the model combines a 1-D finite volume Reynolds equation solver with a 2-D axisymmetric finite element deformation and static contact mechanics analyses, and a Greenwood-Williamson contact mechanics analysis with rod motion. Leakage and friction, along with sealing zone details with the plunge-ground rod are compared with those with the smooth rod. The influence of rod surface finish on seal performance is investigated and explained, under both flooded and starved conditions
For seals with a micro-patterned rod, the model consists of finite volume Reynolds equation solver, finite element deformation and static contact mechanics analyses and a Greenwood-Williamson dynamic contact mechanics analysis. This model is able to handle rod surface pattern with 3-dimensional geometrics. Simulations with different micro-pattern geometries are performed to analyze the fundamental mechanism of surface pattern effects on seal operation. Again, both flooded and starved conditions are applied and the results for both cases are compared and analyzed.

Stability on the Korean peninsula is a goal for several countries. The Republic of Korea (ROK) has depended on the United States to maintain stability on the Korean peninsula, but realizes its greater independence from a long time ally may be inevitable, especially after reunification. Measures now required afford the ROK every opportunity to provide for its own security and stability, including the need for modernizing the ROK Navy (ROKN). Present and future South Korean naval commitments to regional and international maritime environments support the transition from a brown water navy to a blue water navy capable of meeting future challenges. The ROK intends to achieve a naval force capable of projecting power, carrying out its strategic objectives, and ultimately guaranteeing vital defense for ROK sea lanes of communications. South Korea borders on the East Sea and the West Sea, dictating the need for a maritime force, to protect the lifeblood of the South Korean economy. Currently, the ROKN cannot compete against large modern navies, capable of conducting sustained naval operations while concurrently maintaining various platforms assigned numerous tasks. The ROKN's opportunity is ripe to expand its existing force into a modern blue water navy.US Navy (USN) author

Background: The debate on gender equality is a topical subject in Sweden as well as the rest of the world. A gender quota law was proposed for Swedish listed companies but was outvoted. Is there a connection between gender equal companies and financial performance? Purpose: The main purpose of this study aims to investigate if companies with gender equal boards financially outperforms companies who does not have a gender equal board. Method: The thesis is based on a quantitative method along with a deductive approach in order to collect secondary data. Multiple regression analysis was performed in order to test the results against Critical Mass Theory, Resource Dependence Theory and previous research findings. Conclusion: The results of the study conclude that there is a significant positive relationship between gender equal boards and a higher market value. Furthermore, our findings show no significant relationship between gender equal boards and profitability.Bakgrund: Jämställdhetsdebatten är ett aktuellt ämne både i Sverige som i världen.

In seperate regions the level of drainage is different and differs from 50,9 to 96,8 %. At present in Lithuania the change of property is taking place in the sphere of water management. A lot of elements of water management system are returned to the owners. While carrying out the land reform till 2002 about 2,3 mln. ha of land of the desirable to the returned to the land owners. Only about 20 % of this land has been registered legally. The exact amount of the ameliorated land which was returned and registered is not known. In 2002 the inventorying of the drainage systems and their equipment belonging to the state was performed. Its aim was to specify the amelioration state of the drained land and to strike off the accountancy the unfunctioning drainage systems. In 1998 when it became obvious that the state of the drainage systems differs immensely from the situation indicated in the accountancy operative, but unsufficiently detailed evalution of these systems was performed. So in 2000 a more exact and minute inventorying of the state of drainage systems was carried out. All this work was performed in order to establish the water management system equipment number, their state and change during the latter years and establish the prospects of the reorganization of water management system...

This practice-led, project-based research charts, simultaneously, my disenchantment and re-engagement with graphic design. By it's dissemination I hope to articulate: 1. How an evolving understanding of my sense disenchantment emerged from the research, and enabled the process of re-engagement. 2. The role, and importance, of provocation and doubt in creative practice generally, but specifically in practice-led research. The difficulty of provoking one's self, and the strategies through which I have tried to enact a disruptive reframing of my practice. 3. That through the highly reflective nature of practice-led research and the greater sense of self-awareness that inevitable comes from that I have been able to re-engage with graphic design. That this re-engagement has, for me specifically, had much to do with my ability to begin to negotiate my own personal terms of reference, so as to be able to locate myself within a community of practice, and to begin to take part in a discourse that has a certain resonance for me. Central to this research are questions about professional practice, dislocation/disinterest, research, resonance and reinvention. As disenchantment is common, perhaps pervasive, within professional practice, my account of this research will propose that a more general understanding of practice-led research-highly reflective, self-initiated work-is essential if graphic design is to support and sustain imaginative, innovative, and inventive practitioners. Rather than target graphic design's inability to support provocative practices (the studio, or the industry), my research focuses on the potential of the individual practitioner to motivate and design a more generative and engaged practice. As such any observations and/or discoveries are not presented as quantitative 'findings', but should be seen rather as generative understandings that promote future possibility and potential for the practice.

A proposta deste trabalho é o estudo do exílio e seus desdobramentos, principalmente através da imagem originaria do baldio, em textos (Barthes) de Augusto Roa Bastos. Tem como foco central, um livro sobre roteiro, cuja edição acompanha um de seus roteiros, intitulado Mis reflexiones sobre el guión y el guión cinematográfico de Hijo de hombre (1993) e os filmes Alias Gardelito (1961) e Sabaleros (1959). Existe em Roa Bastos uma poética do exílio. O exílio é o despojamento, o abandono de categorias como povo, nação e identidade. O sujeito se lança para um mais além do já consagrado ou já sabido. O exílio é a abertura a partir da qual se estruturará uma noção de literatura, cinema e comunidade.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis takes its cue from Roy Fisher's comment, in 1971, that his poems are 'to do with getting around in the mind'. This getting around, however, is not quite the simple process of 'propositions or explorations in aesthetic ideas', which Fisher suggests. This thesis discusses the relationship between Fisher's poetry and the empirical reality which his poems actually do describe and engage with. The thesis suggests that this engagement is of a mystical nature, in which Fisher's sense of linguistic play is allied to an acute awareness of instabilities in both the self and the empirical world. Such play in language and content makes Fisher's poetry a unique site, in contemporary poetry, for his further engagement with a mystery which is ineffable. Yet, this ineffability is held and controlled by Fisher so that it does not have a theological teleology. Fisher's poetry does not point towards a mystery which finds its manifestation and exploration in ways which are recognised within a contemporary religious framework. The thesis is organised into four chapters. The first chapter outlines some of the history and context of Roy Fisher's writing. It outlines the early critical reception of Fisher's first substantial publication, City, and his publications in the nineteen sixties. It then discusses some of the interviews that Fisher has given. These interviews are placed in the context of the critical reception of Fisher's work, during this time, that aligned Fisher with the avant-garde and 'Linguistically-Innovative' poetry of the period. In the second chapter, the thesis examines Fisher's relationship with the 'self' in his poetry. In the light of a sense of instability perceived in the self in Fisher's writing, the idea of the 'mystical' is introduced and defined. This is particularly relevant in the light of Fisher's tussles with the empirical world. A further exploration of the 'other' in Fisher's poetry is undertaken in the third chapter, which examines Fisher's relationship with the urban, the abject and the woman. In the final chapter, Fisher's long poem from 1986, A Furnace is discussed in the light of the foregoing, to highlight its own exploration of mysticism. The second half of the thesis consists of a portfolio of original poetry

Full textAbstract:
Le second xvie siecle fut, en france, une periode de troubles, mais aussi de transition, peut-etre de rupture. Si tous les courants histonographiques semblent s'accorder sur le fait que la royaute prit a l'epoque moderne une physionomie quelque peu differente de celle qu'elle avait au cours du moyen age, l'unanimite disparait avec la determination de la date du changement et la precision de sa nature. Si le royaume de france vit son histoire bouleversee a cause des guerres de religions, les fondements de ses institutions furent-ils modifies ? il est apparu que les enjeux politiques et juridiques de la periode s'orchestraient autour de l'articulation des fonctions judiciaire et legislative. Si d'une part, les sources juridiques marquent, dans la pratique, la continuite de la conception du pouvoir royal, il apparait, d'autre part, une modification de l'argumentation doctrinale : la legitimite de la royaute fut deplacee du juridictionnel au normatif, ce qui transformait la place et le role des organes de conseil. Ce travail porte sur la nature, les pouvoirs et les relations des institutions publiques (roi-etats generaux, roi-parlements, etats-generaux-parlements), leurs domaines d'intervention (droit prive-droit public, droit propre-droits savants, coutumes constitutionnelles-lois fondamentales) et les rapports de la religion et de la politique, de la morale et du droit (eglise catholique-eglise calviniste, eglise gallicane-eglise ultramontaine). Il semble possible de conclure que, si la pratique monarchique ne resta pas indifferente aux nouvelles argumentations, ces dernieres ne reussirent pas a transformer la nature des institutions. La second xvie siecle vit l'affirmation doctrinale de l'idee moderne du droit ; cette derniere ne devait toutefois l'emporter dans la pratique qu'au xviiie siecle, ce qui ne pouvait qu'entrainer la perte de la royaute dont la legitimite reposait sur la conception classique de la justice.
