Lo scopo di questa tesi è quello di studiare e sviluppare una nuova architettura software da applicare in primo luogo alle macchine per il coating sviluppate dall’azienda IMA S.p.a, divisione Active. In particolare, come caso di studio, è stata utilizzata la nuova macchina prototipo, sviluppata dalla stessa azienda, chiamata CROMA. Questa tipologia di impianto ingloba al suo interno un nuovo concetto di processo chiamato continuous batch, che ha richiesto l’introduzione di una nuova gestione delle unità di processo. È in questo ambiente che l’architettura software proposta è stata concepita.
Per ottenere il risultato finale è stata prima effettuata un’analisi dello stato attuale del software, verificando la sua conformità con i canoni dello standard ANSI/ISA-88, e successivamente sono stati introdotti altri elementi, tra cui lo standard PackML, con l’obiettivo di sfruttare al massimo le potenzialità della macchina.

Full textAbstract:
Master of Science<br>Architectural Engineering and Construction Science<br>Russell J. Murdock<br>The purpose of this study is to identify and explore relationships between the building industry, building energy usage, and how both the industry and the energy usage correspond to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the United States. Building energy codes seek to reduce energy usage and, subsequently, GHG emissions. This study specifically seeks to determine the impact that most current U.S. building energy codes could have on national GHG emissions if widespread adoption and enforcement of those codes were a reality.
The report initially presents necessary background information about GHG emissions is first discussed. This establishes the current state of global GHG emissions, the position of the U.S. within the global scale, and what portion of the contribution can be attributed to the building industry. The report also describes the current issues and benefits of building energy codes. An overview of building energy codes evaluation is included, with explanation of the energy analysis used to determine the effectiveness of new building energy codes.
In order to determine how to improve the building energy code system, an analysis of ANSI/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1-2013 (equivalent to 2015 IECC, the most recent standard available) is conducted to reveal unrealized GHG emission reductions that are expected with adoption and compliance to the newest code. Standard 90.1-2013 is analyzed due to the national popularity of the code relative to other building energy codes. This analysis includes compilation of energy usage intensity, square footage, and current code adoption data throughout the United States. Results showed that the excess GHG emission savings from enhanced adoption and compliance was not significant on a national scale. However, in terms of GHG emissions currently saved by building energy codes, the extra savings becomes more significant, proving that increased adoption and compliance is a worthwhile pursuit. Recommendations are then made for how to increase adoption and compliance. This information will give policymakers improved understanding of the current state of the industry when crafting laws regarding GHG emissions and building energy codes. Furthermore, findings from this study could benefit specific states that are attempting to lower GHG emissions.

This master thesis examines the development of the two earlier independent IR protocols Z39.50 and SR (Search and Retrieve, ISO 10162/10163), now Z39.50/SR, from the beginning of the 80s to 1996 and their functionality in the client/server environment. Z39.50 applications in library systems will allow easy access to information regardless of platform or location. The use of Z39.50 will create a new user environment. Almost all the library systems of the market support the Z39.50 and surprisingly the use of it in Sweden lied on a very low leve! in 1996. This thesis was followed-up by an interview and a questioner among the Swedish Z39.50 users. They could see a huge potential of development concerning the future IR process. Z39.50 will change the libraries' traditional IR structure and the behaviour of the end-users.

Full textAbstract:
In recent decades, the international community has made a concerted effort to develop the international Anti-Money Laundering Standards (AMLSs) and enhance their implementation at a national level. It is submitted that the AMLSs serve various laudable aims and States should adequately implement those standards. In fact, most States, including Vietnam, have been striving for the highest level of compliance with the AMLSs. This thesis suggests that external pressure and State socialization has compelled developing States to implement and comply with the international AMLSs, and Vietnam is an obvious case study.
This thesis examines concisely the development and underlying rationales of a number of key categories of international AMLSs, and the difference in national implementation of each category. The implementation of such multifaceted standards in a transitional State, like Vietnam, requires substantial legal and administrative reform, which often faces numerous domestic hurdles. The examination of Vietnamese AML legislation has revealed that while significant deficiencies remain, certain categories of AMLSs have been transformed wholesale into Vietnamese law. As a part of the objectives of this study, suggestions for law reform have been made to close the gaps between the AML laws of Vietnam and the international standards. It is likely that Vietnam, within a short time, will revise the laws in order to obtain a better degree of compliance. However, given the political, economic and legal factors of Vietnam, this thesis argues that the enforcement of the laws in practice will be still limited. In other words, in the near future Vietnam can achieve what appears to be a high level of compliance with the international AMLSs, but only on paper.

Full textAbstract:
<p>The paper examines the approach taken by Russian government to control money laundering by creating the preventive framework which has undergone significant changes over the past six years. With respect to the prevention of money laundering, the discussion involves a review of international standards and norms which constitute the global AML regime. Recognizing the need for adding the domestic dimension to the studies of international regimes with the help of two-level game theory, the paper further analyzes the preventive pillar of the domestic AML regime in Russia in comparison with the global standards. It concludes that the federal law, which is the cornerstone of the domestic AML regime, as well as institutional framework created in Russia, both formally comply with the international norms.</p><p>The analyses of the practical implementation of the AML legislation in the financial institutions focus on legislative base for the regulated, behavioral patterns of the banks in the AML prevention, and the conflicts and debates, lately emerged within the domestic AML regime. This paper aims to show how new regulations have influenced both domestic AML regime and its main actors. The paper concludes that the existent domestic regime lacks interaction and communication between its actors which leads to the breach of the main principle and goal of a regime – cooperation.</p><p>The paper argues that the representatives of banking community in Russia could play the role of epistemic community proposed by the cognitive theory of international regimes. Given the functions of epistemic community it could foster better understanding of the context and purposes of the AML regime, thus, decreasing uncertainty and facilitating cooperation between the parties. The paper will conclude with the recommendations on the future research about how risk-based approach to banking regulation of the AML prevention rather than traditional rule-based compliance method can be effective.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Anti-Money laundering legislation has become a major global issue, with nations and organisations under pressure to adhere and comply with strict control measures in place. The United States post 9/11 in league with other big Nations have been at the forefront of strict Anti-Money laundering initiatives, but a fair question to ask is how well the system is really doing? The implementation of the global AML framework is dependent upon the compliance of individual states, thereby making the presence of an adequate legal and institutional framework at national level a requisite requirement for an effective Anti-Money laundering system. Despite the incorporation of strict Anti-Money Laundering regulations into Nigerian laws, the misappropriation of Nigerian moneys, notably by public officials, has continued unabated. While the need for a concise and unambiguous harmonisation of international regulations cannot be overemphasised, and despite the concerted efforts in this regard, a trans-jurisdictional review by this researcher of both primary and secondary sources like conventions and academic literature have unearthed conceptual, legal, regulatory problems, as well as a seeming desire for theoretical, rather than practical compliance. In other words, global AML efforts seem more academic than practical. Accordingly, legal and regulatory reforms to International Anti-Money laundering initiatives can only be achieved with a proper appreciation of the culture and unique peculiarities of the receptive jurisdiction where emphasis is placed on the local environment rather than a mere response to International requirements for the sake of it. International AML regulations, and within this context, the FATF recommendations are meant for universal application, traversing the distinct quirks of diverse cultures, but the test here is its suitability or otherwise to the socio-cultural, political, economic and legal realities of Nigeria. The fleecing of Nigerian public moneys most notably by public officials has continued unabated despite the incorporation of strict AML laws.

Full textAbstract:
Le SuperNova Legacy Survey (SNLS) est un programme de détection et de suivi photométrique de plusieurs centaines de supernovæ de type Ia (SNe Ia) dont l'objectif est de retracer l'histoire de l'expansion cosmologique afin d'en déduire une caractérisation de la nature de l'énergie noire, c'est-à-dire une mesure de son paramètre d'état wDE. La prise de données du SNLS est arrivée à son terme en juillet 2008 après 5 ans de programme. Le travail réalisé dans le cadre de cette thèse a consisté en l'analyse de ces 5 ans de données SNLS et la photométrie des 419 SNe Ia détectées et spectroscopiquement identifiées. Pour chaque supernova, les courbes de lumière dans les bandes gMrMiMzM sont produites, calibrées et ajustées par un modèle spectrophotométrique. Une nouvelle méthode de photométrie, sans rééchantillonnage des pixels des images, est également implémentée dans le cadre de cette thèse. En préservant les propriétés statistiques des pixels, elle permet de mieux contrôler les incertitudes sur la mesure des flux, et par là même, la précision sur la mesure des paramètres cosmologiques qui s'en déduit. Les performances des deux méthodes sont testées et comparées sur les étoiles de calibration et les supernovae. Si la photométrie sans rééchantillonnage permet une estimation plus exacte des incertitudes de mesure du flux, la précision et la stabilité des deux méthodes sont quant à elles similaires. Un lot de SNe Ia de statistique et de qualité inédites est maintenant disponible pour l'analyse de cosmologie. Avec le complément de supernovæ proches de programmes extérieurs, une contrainte à 5% sur la nature du paramètre d'état de l'énergie noire est donc pour la première fois envisageable.

Full textAbstract:
L’application de la photoluminescence suscite un intérêt croissant de la part des chercheurs et ceci dans de nombreux domaines. Dans notre cas, différents complexes à base de lanthanide seront détectés par une méthode spectrophotométrique avancée, la fluorescence résolue en temps. Ces derniers peuvent être ainsi détectés même à l’état de traces au sein des milieux complexes tel que ceux rencontrés dans l’industrie pétrolière (saumures, traces de pétrole, éléments solides en suspension, etc.). L'utilisation de la détection de fluorescence résolue en temps combinée à des complexes de lanthanides a été démontrée comme une stratégie simple et efficace pour éliminer la fluorescence de fond des matrices présentes dans le milieu étudié et fournir un rapport signal sur bruit élevé. Le sujet de cette thèse consiste à répondre avec les outils précédents à différentes problématique existants au sein de l’industrie pétrolière, de l’extraction du pétrole au processus de marquage de différents produits raffinés à des fins commerciales. Dans la première partie du manuscrit décrira différents protocoles capables d’extraire de l’information de différents additifs chimiques employés sur les champs pétrolifères lors de l’extraction de pétrole et de gaz. Les additifs en questions peuvent être des inhibiteurs de dépôts minéraux, des inhibiteurs de corrosion, des polymères viscoélastiques, dans différentes eaux de synthèse et de production issues de différentes plateformes. Les impacts de certains facteurs ont été analysés afin d’améliorer la sensibilité et les performances. Nous démontrerons la possibilité de quantifier avec succès la teneur résiduelle de différents types d'additifs chimiques. L'effet de matrice de l’échantillon a été limité par le développement de deux stratégies d'addition standard. Nous montrerons par ailleurs qu’il est possible de quantifier la présence non seulement d’un additif mais encore, dans certaines situations optimisées, de deux additifs en mélange. Outre la détermination de la concentration en additifs chimiques, nous présenterons également une méthode permettant de déterminer l’anionicité d’un polymère en milieu complexe. Dans la deuxième partie du document, nous détaillerons le développement de complexes de lanthanides utilisés en tant que marqueurs ainsi que la méthode de détection par fluorescence résolue en temps visant à la lutte contre la contrefaçon de différents pétroles bruts et de carburants raffinés. La synthèse et le processus d’incorporation de trois types de marqueurs de photoluminescence et leur stabilité dans différents carburants seront ensuite discutés. Les résultats obtenus démontrent qu’il est possible, à l’aide de cette technologie de marquage, de détecter efficacement les fraudes à la taxe dans les carburants, même à haute dilution. Ces travaux présente potentiellement un fort impact dans les domaines académiques comme industriels. Toutes les études se concentrent sur la mise au point d’une procédure simple, qui fournit une sensibilité élevée permettant de réduire le coût de production et qui repose sur l’emploi du fluorimètre résolu en temps Inibox™ développé pendant ma thèse pour porter sur le terrain les technologies développé au laboratoire<br>The application of photoluminescence is receiving an increasing interest from researchers coming from many fields. The previous laboratory works introduced a time-resolved fluorescence (TRF) detection method for the quantification of chemicals in complex medium (petroleum, production brine, and synthetic sea water) tagged with lanthanides, the additives form complexes that exhibit specific TRF signal which overcomes autofluorescence of sample and provide a high signal to noise ratio. The subject of this thesis concerns the development of specific methods based on patented technique to answer problematics arising in the oil industry from the extraction of crude product to the distribution of fuels. In the first part of the document, we focus on the monitoring of residual amount of chemical additives such as scale inhibitors, corrosion inhibitors, viscoelastic polymers in different synthetic and production waters. The impacts of some key factors were analyzed in order to improve the sensitivity and performance, also proves that under optimized conditions it is possible to quantify simultaneously two products in the same matrix. We successfully quantified various types of chemical additives with satisfying precision. Furthermore, the matrix effect was controlled by the development of two standard addition strategies. In addition to the determination of the concentration of chemical additives, we will also introduce a method to determine the anionicity of a polymer in difficult conditions. In the second part of the manuscript we follow the development of lanthanide complex markers and their detection for anti-counterfeiting on different crude oils and refined fuels. The synthesis, incorporation process and stability of three types of photoluminescence markers in different fuels have been discussed. The obtained results will prove that the technology can be used to detect fraud on fuels. This work has a potential great impact for both the academic and industrial domains. All studies focus on the creation of a simple procedure, with high sensitivity and low cost. All method are relying in the end on a specific field apparatus developed during my thesis to support the exportation of the technologies from the laboratory to the industry: The Inibox™

Full textAbstract:
The attacks against the United States of America (US) on 11 September 2001 paved the way for the coming into effect of much counter-terrorism legislation across the world. Ethiopia is one of the countries that have introduced new legislation on terrorism, which is mainly drawn from the UK and, to a lesser extent, from the US. The aim of this thesis is to comprehensively assess Ethiopia's counter-terrorism legislation in light of the experiences of the UK and the US in dealing with terrorism. Furthermore, this thesis discusses the consequences of ‘copying' Western counter-terrorism legislation into Ethiopian culture, drawing particular attention to the need for a proper balance between legitimate security interests and the protection of fundamental rights. This thesis is organized as follows. The first chapter introduces the significance, methodology, limitation, and scope of the thesis. The second chapter discusses the development of Ethiopian legal system, human rights and counterterrorism measures. Moving forwards, chapter three seeks to analyse two important factors encapsulated within the right to freedom of expression; that is, the content and medium of the expression and the identity of the speaker/publisher. The relevance of these factors in giving effect to the right to freedom of expression is evaluated in light of the need to protect against the incitement and/or encouragement of terrorism. The chapter then deepens its critical assessment by reviewing the difficulty of implementing these factors in Ethiopia. Chapter four seeks to widen the debate by exploring the legal regimes governing intercept evidence - an issue of great importance in terrorism discourse. The chapter critically examines why intercept evidence obtained through a warrant is inadmissible in UK courts. Additionally, this chapter compares the position of the UK with that of the US, isolating areas of similarities and differences with a view to comparing the Ethiopian position on intercept communications. Chapter five focuses on the arrest of individuals on suspicion of terrorism and the length of pre-charge detention under the three countries selected for this research. This chapter will then explore whether there is a need for a watered down version of ‘reasonable suspicion' in terrorism cases. This chapter further considers Ethiopia's position with regard to the level of knowledge required to execute arrests, considering whether Ethiopia could and should reflect on the UK's position in attempting to facilitate a greater accordance with fundamental rights by shortening the 120 days pre-charge detention currently available to police when arresting individuals on suspicion of terrorism. The final chapter draws on the preceding debate and provides the concluding remarks on the thesis.

Full textAbstract:
La prédiction du bruit de roulement ferroviaire est en enjeu majeur pour la maitrise des nuisances sonores. Au point de contact roue/rail, la roue et la voie sont excités de manière dynamique, ce qui enclenche le rayonnement du bruit de roulement. Les réponses vibratoires au point de contact ainsi que les taux de décroissance des ondes sont des données primordiales pour simuler de manière précise le bruit de roulement. Or, la dimension infinie de la voie ferrée conduit bien souvent à des modèles éléments finis coûteux et non adaptés à la recherche de solutions innovantes. La thèse a pour objectifs de proposer un modèle vibratoire de voie en éléments finis qui prenne en compte la dimension infinie périodique de la voie, mais aussi d’inclure une portion de voie non-périodique sur laquelle des solutions anti-vibratiles peuvent être testées. La propagation des vibrations est exprimée sous la forme d’une décomposition en ondes par la méthode WFE (Wave Finite Element). Le calcul de la réponse vibratoire de la voie périodique infinie est obtenu à partir du déplacement d’une cellule physique longue d’environ 0.6 m. Pour réduire les temps de calcul nécessaires à sa condensation dynamique, une méthode de bi-périodisation est proposée. Le couplage entre les méthodes éléments finis et WFE est développé pour prendre en considération les supports élastiques dans cette cellule. Les comparaisons avec des mobilités expérimentales ainsi que des taux de décroissance montrent un très bon accord calculs-mesures. Enfin, le modèle développé dans cette thèse a permis de tester l’efficacité d’une solution anti-vibratile innovante développée au sein du projet CERVIFER. Celle-ci offre un comportement bi-mode, elle assouplit les supports autour de la roue préservant ainsi l’infrastructure, mais elle rigidifie les supports loin de la roue pour augmenter les taux de décroissance. Les résultats numériques se révèlent prometteurs en termes d’efficacité du dispositif et entrevoient une poursuite du développement de cette solution anti-vibratile<br>Railway noise is a critical issue concerning environmental noise. At the wheel/rail contact point, both the wheel and the track are dynamically excited and vibrate together to emit the well known rolling noise. The point receptance of the rail and the track decay rates are important quantities to accurately predict wheel-rail noise emission. However, the infinite dimension of the track leads to cumbersome numerical finite-element (FE) models and not adapted to assist the research of innovative solutions. The goals of this thesis are to build an efficient numerical model for calculating the vibration from an infinite railway track, but also to include a central non-periodic part with the aim of testing anti-vibration solutions. The vibration propagation along the track is expressed as a sum of different waves using the WFEM (Wave Finite Element Method). The displacements of a 0.6 m unit cell lead to the computation of the whole track. To reduce the dynamic condensation of this cell, a bi-periodic method is proposed in this thesis. The FEM - WFEM coupling is proposed to easily include elastic supports inside the unit cell. Results show a good correlation between test and calculation. Finally, the model proposed in this thesis was used to test the efficiency of an innovative anti-vibration solution developed within the CERVIFER project. It is a dual mode device which makes the supports softer around the wheel to protect the infrastructure, and stiffer away from the wheel to increase the track decay rates. The numerical results revealed to be really promising, and they will permit to pursue the development of this anti-vibration solution

Full textAbstract:
This study provides guidelines for teacher training to promote the constitutional values in schools. The purpose is not to question the constitutional values or develop a new set of values. For a meaningful analysis within the limitations of a Master's dissertation, the study focuses on the General Education and Training Band (Grades Reception to Nine). Compared to foreign countries, open debate regarding values in education is relatively new in South Africa.
Values are usually abstract but sometimes also physical entities to which human beings attach worth. They are common in individuals or groups through physical exposure and genetic make-up. Teaching inevitably instils values in learners. Schools often adopt a values system, which should not be imposed upon any individual learner. Values, and in particular moral values, should be taught in schools because they influence attitudes, priorities, principles, norms, standards, morals and ethics, which in turn influence decision-making, learner performance and behaviour, which affect the future of learners.
In the Manifesto on values, education and democracy, the National Department of Education promotes ten constitutional values - democracy, social justice and equity, equality, non-racism and non-sexism, ubuntu (human dignity), an open society, accountability (responsibility), the rule of law, respect and reconciliation - for teaching in South African schools. The ten constitutional values are not imposed but are intended to help learners develop into good citizens in line with the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa (1996). The ten constitutional values should not be the only values taught in schools, as there are many other values that form an inherent part of education.
At South African universities, values are included in teacher-training programmes in different forms and to varying degrees. The Higher Education HIV/Aids Programme, Revised National Curriculum Statement training, Advanced Certificate in Education and the normal curricula for pre-service teacher training are implemented at the different universities investigated. The ten constitutional and other values are integrated into all the learning areas of the Revised National Curriculum Statement. They should also therefore be integrated into teacher-training programmes. Programmes narrowly focused on the ten constitutional values should not be discouraged, as they strengthen the teaching of values in general. Values should be contextualised and purposefully infused in all teacher-training curricula.
The dissertation concludes with the guidelines for the training of teachers to promote the ten constitutional values. The guidelines consider the sixteen strategies for the teaching of the ten constitutional values as outlined in the Manifesto on values, education and democracy. communication, role-modelling, literacy, human rights, arts and culture, history, religion, multilingualism, school sport, equality, anti-racism, anti-sexism, HIV/Aids, school safety, the environment and respect for diversity. The purpose of these guidelines is to guide teachers regarding which values to teach; they are thus not intended to be prescriptions on how to teach them.<br>Thesis (M.Ed.)--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2009.

Full textAbstract:
Background: sebbene la letteratura recente abbia suggerito che l’utilizzo degli impianti corti possa rappresentare una alternative preferibile alle procedure di rigenerazione ossea nelle aree posteriori atrofiche, perché è un trattamento più semplice e con meno complicazioni, esistono solo pochi studi a medio e lungo termine che abbiano comparato queste tecniche.
Scopo: lo scopo di questo studio retrospettivo è quello di valutare se gli impianti corti (6-8 mm) (gruppo impianti corti) possano presentare percentuali di sopravvivenza e valori di riassorbimento osseo marginali simili a impianti di dimensioni standard (≥11 mm) inseriti contemporaneamente ad una grande rialzo di seno mascellare.
Materiali e Metodi: in totale, 101 pazienti sono stati inclusi: 48 nel gruppo impianti corti e 53 nel gruppo seno. In ciascun paziente da 1 a 3 impianti sono stati inseriti e tenuti sommersi per 4-6 mesi. I parametri clinici e radiografici valutati sono: i fallimenti implantari, le complicazioni, lo stato dei tessuti molli, e il riassorbimento osseo marginale. Tutti i pazienti sono stati seguiti per almeno 3 anni dal posizionamento implantare.
Risultati: il periodo di osservazione medio è stato di 43.47 ± 6.1 mesi per il gruppo impianti corti e 47.03 ± 7.46 mesi per il gruppo seno. Due su 101 impianti corti e 6 su 108 impianti standard sono falliti. Al follow-up finale, si è riscontrato un riassorbimento osseo medio di 0.47 ± 0.48 mm nel gruppo impianti corti versus 0.64 ± 0.58 mm nel gruppo seno. Non sono presenti differenze statisticamente significative fra i gruppi in termini di fallimenti implantari, complicazioni protesiche, tessuti molli, e riassorbimento osseo. Il gruppo seno ha presentato, invece, un maggior numero di complicazioni chirurgiche.
Conclusioni: entrambe le tecniche hanno dimostrato un simile tasso di successo clinico e radiografico, ma gli impianti corti hanno ridotto il numero di complicazioni chirurgiche.<br>Background: Although the recent literature suggested that short implants may be a preferable alternative to various bone augmentation procedures in posterior atrophic areas because the treatment is simpler, and associated with less morbidity, limited data have yet been published comparing these two treatment approaches with an observation period longer than 1 year.
Purpose: The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to evaluate whether short implants (6 and 8-mm-long) (short group) could be a suitable alternative to standard-length implants (≥11 mm) placed simultaneously with a sinus augmentation (sinus group) for the treatment of atrophic posterior maxillae.
Materials and Methods: In total, 101 partially dentate patients were enrolled in the study: 48 in the short group and 53 in the sinus group. One to three implants were placed in each patient and submerged for 4-6 months. Outcome measures were implant failures, complications, soft tissue parameters, and marginal bone levels. Patients were followed for an observation period of at least 3 years from implant placement.
Results: The mean observation period was 43.47 ± 6.1 months for short group and 47.03 ± 7.46 months for sinus group. Two of 101 short implants and six of 108 test implants failed. At final follow-up, mean marginal bone loss was 0.47 ± 0.48 mm in the short group versus 0.64 ± 0.58 mm in the sinus group. No significant difference was observed between groups at patient level in terms of implant failures, prosthetic complications, soft-tissue parameters, or marginal bone loss. However, the sinus procedure led to more surgical complications compared with the short implant procedure.
Conclusions: Both techniques showed similar clinical and radiographic outcomes, but the short implants provided advantages in terms of reduced number of surgical complications.

Previous issue date: 2016-05-06<br>A diversidade na produção de informações oriundas de instituições públicas e privadas proporciona desafios diários para a arquivística, os quais se referem a maneira pela qual a área irá possibilitar o acesso, a recuperação e a reutilização das informações. Neste contexto dinâmico, fazer uso de instrumentos que colaborem com o processo de gestão da informação torna-se primordial. Além dos instrumentos tradicionalmente utilizados pela arquivística, tais como a descrição e a classificação arquivística, faz-se necessário a adoção de instrumentos que possam complementá-los, agregando precisão ao conjunto de descritores utilizados nos processos de representação da informação. Nesse sentido, esta pesquisa, estabelece discussões que visam a aproximar os instrumentos tradicionais da arquivística dos vocabulários controlados. Entende-se que esses instrumentos atuam como mediadores entre a representação e a recuperação da informação. Objetivou-se, portanto, analisar a norma de descrição arquivística ISAAR (CPF) que trata da descrição de registro de autoridade arquivística para entidades coletivas, pessoas e famílias, em conjunto com a norma ISO 25964-2011 que trata da elaboração de vocabulários controlados. Dessa forma, propôs-se verificar a interface entre os vocabulários controlados e a norma de descrição ISAAR (CPF), considerando-se que suas confluências podem melhorar o processo de representação e recuperação da informação. Para tanto, utilizaram-se os seguintes procedimentos metodológicos, revisão de literatura sobre a temática proposta nas bases de dados brasileiras (BRAPCI, Scielo) e bases de dados internacionais (Scopus, LISTA), bibliotecas de teses e dissertações digitais (BDTD) e anais de congresso (ENANCIB). Foram utilizadas também as normas ANSI/NIZO Z39.19-2005 (R2010) e a ISO 25964-2011 para o desenvolvimento dos componentes normativos dos vocabulários controlados. Em relação aos componentes teóricos da arquivística, a pesquisa desenvolveu-se tendo como parâmetro a norma de descrição ISAAR (CPF). Após a construção do referencial teórico da pesquisa, analisou-se conjuntamente a norma ISO 25964-2011 e a norma de descrição ISAAR (CPF) para que fosse possível fazer uma proposta visando uma proposta para vocabulários controlados específicos para arquivos. Os resultados obtidos com o desenvolvimento dessa pesquisa apontam a necessidade de aproximação entre a arquivística e os vocabulários controlados, instrumentos ainda pouco utilizados pela área, mas que por meio de seus elementos podem ajudar em relação a melhoria da representação da informação arquivística.<br>The diversity in the production of information from public and private institutions provide daily challenges for archiving, which refer to how the area will provide access, recovery and reuse of information. In this dynamic context, make use of instruments to collaborate with the information management process becomes paramount. In addition to the instruments traditionally used for archiving, such as the description and the archival classification, it is necessary to adopt tools that can complement them, adding precision to the set of descriptors used in the representation of information processes. In this sense, this research establishes discussions aimed at bringing the traditional instruments of archival of controlled vocabularies. It is understood that these instruments act as mediators between the representation and retrieval of information. In this sense, this research establishes discussions aimed at bringing the traditional instruments of archival of controlled vocabularies. It is understood that these instruments act as mediators between the representation and retrieval of information. The objective is therefore to this research, collaborate with the studies on the development of specific vocabularies for files because it was observed that there is still a shortfall in relation to the theme proposed under archival. In addition, it also aimed to analyze the standard of archival description ISAAR (CPF) which deals with the archival authority record description for corporate bodies, persons and families, together with the ISO 25964-2011 standard that deals with the development of controlled vocabularies. Therefore, the following methodological procedures are used, literature review on the proposed theme in Brazilian databases (BRAPCI, Scielo) and international databases (Scopus, LIST), theses and digital dissertations libraries (BDTD) and anal congress (ENANCIB). They were also used ANSI / NIZO Z39.19-2005 standards (R2010) and ISO 25964-2011 for the development of the theoretical components of controlled vocabularies. Regarding the theoretical components of archival, research developed having as parameter the standard ISAAR description (CPF). After the construction of the theoretical framework of the research, analyzed jointly ISO 25964-2011 standard and the standard of ISAAR description (CPF) to make it possible to make a proposal for the development of specific controlled vocabularies for files. The results obtained with the development of this research indicate the need for closer ties between the archival and controlled vocabularies, instruments still little used by the area, but through its standard-setting elements can help towards improving the representation of archival information.

The quantity of 100Mo in the detector (7 kg) allows also a competitive measurement of the two-neutrino double beta decay (bb2n) of 100Mo to the excited 0+ state of 100Ru (eeNg channel). Monte-Carlo simulations of the effect and of all the possible sources of background have been studied in order to determine their contributions to the full NEMO3 experimental data (2003-2011). These one have then been analysed: the bb2n decay half-life has been measured, and a limit on the bb0n decay has been obtained. Moreover, the SuperNEMO experiment aims to reach a sensitivity up to 10^26 years on the half-life of neutrinoless double beta decay. The SuperNEMO detector radioactivity has to be as low as possible. Especially radiopurity levels of 2 uBq/kg in 208Tl and 10 uBq/kg in 214Bi are required for the source foils. The gamma-spectrometry can not measure such low contamination levels. Hence, a BiPo dedicated detector has been developped to measure 208Tl and 214Bi contaminations, identifing the Bi→Po→Pb beta-alpha chains. A proof of principle has been performed and the detector background has been measured. Assuming these values, a full BiPo detector of 3. 6 m2 can achieve the required sensitivities for the SuperNEMO source foils within six months of measurement

Le droit fiscal international contemporain vit une époque de bouleversement profond dont les développements relatifs à l’utilisation des conventions fiscales portent l’empreinte. La recherche conduira à s’intéresser à différents agissements qui se trouvent, grâce aux travaux consacrés au BEPS, sous le feu des projecteurs. Un éclairage nouveau s’avérait nécessaire, il a permis d’apporter un peu plus de lumière sur la notion d’abus de convention fiscale internationale trop longtemps restée dans l’ombre. Face à l’absence de définition unanimement consacrée, certains traits caractéristiques seront mis en évidence en insistant sur la dimension fonctionnelle de la notion qui épouse la forme d’un standard. Dans le cadre d’une analyse comparée menée à l’aune des droits français et américain, l’étude a pour objet de l’appréhender sous un regard nouveau en délimitant précisément les modalités de contrôle des opérations abusives. Les techniques de répression des abus mises en œuvre par les juges seront analysées. Les différents dispositifs internes et conventionnels anti-abus seront discutés en insistant sur les points de divergence et de convergence des politiques fiscales conventionnelles américaine et française. Une attention particulière sera portée aux conflits de norme inhérents à la juxtaposition de différents ordres fiscaux. L’idée selon laquelle, sous l’effet de l’instrument multilatéral notamment, la notion d’abus de convention fiscale internationale a acquis une individualité propre sera défendue.

The research will lead to an interest in the different type of abuse that, thanks to the work devoted by the BEPS, are under the spotlight. It was necessary to shed some new light on the notion of tax treaty abuse that had long remained in the background. Faced with the absence of an unanimously adopted approach, many characteristics will be highlighted by insisting on the functional dimension of the notion which follows the form of a standard. In the context of a comparative analysis conducted in the light of French and American law, the object of the research is to analyse its several aspects from a new perspective by defining precisely the modalities of controlling abusive schemes. How judges deal with tax treaty avoidance strategies will be analysed. The various internal and international anti-abuses mechanisms will be discussed, highlighting the points of divergence and convergence of U.S. and French tax treaty policies. Attention will be paid to the conflicts of law regarding the juxtaposition of different tax order. The idea that under the effect of the multilateral instrument the notion of tax treaty abuse has acquired a distinct individuality will be defended. It will be important to specify what are the consequences for the application of the notion by the French judge

Full textAbstract:
This thesis aims to explore an aspect of the history of vernacular speech through analysis of some eighteenth century verse texts. These satirical anti-Jesuit pamphlets by Nicolas Jouin, known as the 'Sarcelades', were collected posthumously in 'Le Vrai Recueil des Sarcelles' of 1764. The texts purport to be in the patois of the peasants of Sarcelles and show features which may be paralleled in the vernacular speech of Paris and elsewhere, and even correspond with features of contemporary colloquial French. The study may appeal to French historical sociolinguists interested in reconstructing spoken language of the past, and particularly in the history of vernacular speech of Paris since the Middle Ages through to the eighteenth century, in the context of the development of urban dialects. In order to set the scene for a linguistic description of Jouin’s work the limited biographical information available was collated. Then a period of bibliographical research led to acquisition of copies of the texts which were to be studied in order to identify and examine their non-standard linguistic features. Firstly the process of growth of urban dialects was discussed, and then the development of the Paris vernacular in particular. Then attention was turned to direct written evidence in the form of commentary and to a number of texts from the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries containing features of the Paris vernacular. These had already been analysed by certain historical linguists, although the texts in the 'Sarcelades' had hitherto only been briefly mentioned. However, here they are considered to be of sufficient interest to be examined more closely, although it had to be established whether Jouin’s texts containing a selection of non-standard features could be regarded as an accurate depiction of the Paris vernacular at the period. The non-standard phonetic, morphological, syntactic, and lexical features in the texts were therefore compared with findings in other texts by previous commentators. Following these analyses it was noted to what extent the relative frequency of the variables correlates with the salience of certain features in popular speech in Paris at the period, as already observed in other texts by previous commentators, and it was concluded that in general established characteristics of the 'patois de Paris' at the period are to be found in the 'Sarcelades', even though there do remain certain features which do not appear to be generally attested elsewhere. Nevertheless, despite reservations concerning the authenticity of some of the non-standard features employed by Jouin, by bringing attention to this little-known series of texts this study may help to claim a place for the Sarcelades amongst the corpus of texts which reflect aspects of the lower-class sociolect, the 'patois de Paris', at the period.

Full textAbstract:
Arborists are exposed to many occupational hazards and experience more than three times the overall fatality rate of all U.S. workers. Investigations into fatal incidents lead to a better understanding of industry dangers. However, this knowledge does not extend to how tree workers operate when an injury or fatality does not occur. Current research regarding fatal and nonfatal injuries does not include the accreditation status of the company at which the worker was employed, nor whether certified arborists were on staff. Given the highly skilled nature of the work involved, certification and accreditation might ensure a minimum level of demonstrated safety practices. This study aimed to 1. Determine whether certification and accreditation in the tree care industry are associated with safer workplace behavior, and 2. Identify safety practices that tree workers commonly violate. Tree care companies in southern New England were divided into three categories: accredited, non-accredited with certified arborists on staff, and non-accredited with no certified arborists on staff. A stratified random sample of 63 companies was evaluated in the field by direct observation, assessing workers’ adherence to the industry’s safety standard, the American National Standards for Arboricultural Operations (ANSI Z133.1-2006). Analysis indicated that, overall, accredited companies and those with certified arborists on staff complied with the Z133.1 Standard more than those without. Although these companies were more compliant, few significant differences emerged, and low overall compliance was found for personal protective equipment and chainsaw and chipper safety. There were low levels of compliance across all types of companies with the basic aspects of safety, including feeding the chipper from the curbside, not drop-starting a chainsaw, and using head, eye, and hearing protection. Implications of findings include possible considerations for improvements on accreditation and certification processes. Further findings address aspects of the Z133.1 Safety Standard that are currently unclear.

碩士<br>國立清華大學<br>科技法律研究所<br>106<br>The competition in standard market will introduce kinds of commercial issues for exercising intellectual properties and has drawn increasing attention in knowledge-based industry. “Standard” not only motivates innovation with economic benefits by collecting the knowledge of people to facilitate the industry progress, but also induces the incentive of anti-competition. The exclusive rights originating from patent law shall equip standard essential patents with monopoly power, and introduce anti-competition issues. In the consequence, the conflict issues between patent law and competition law raised when innovating and exercising standard essential patents.
This study discusses the background of anti-competition in standard market and provides systematical analysis for commercial behaviors. Furthermore, the equity is discussed through examining the originality of patent law and competition law so as to analyze the standard market power. Through the analysis of competition practices, it is found that there can be two kinds of monopoly power in a standard market. The demand will shape the competition in developing a standard while the standard essential patent shall impact the competition in implementing a standard.
This study also discusses some empirical cases applying standard market power for competition analysis. It is expected that the proposed methodology can provide new aspects of thinking to research and administrate the urgent competition issue of standard market in knowledge-based industry.

碩士<br>開南大學<br>人文社會學院公共管理碩士在職專班<br>105<br>Article 84-1 of the Labor Standards Law has been set for more than two decades, during which the domestic employment environment and life style have also undergone tremendous changes, and in recent years the workers because of the workplace "burnout" caused by injuries and deaths increased year by year. In order to understand the current situation and difficulties of burnout and overtime in Republic of China, the conflict between anti-burnout laws and Article 84-1 of the Labor Standards Law. This paper discusses the situation through the literature, comparative analysis and the current situation.
The conclusion of this paper is as follows: the average annual hours worked of laborers in our country is much higher than that in the world, because the overtime is too high; burnout has the necessary relationship with the long working hours, and the security guard is the high risk group; the legal procedures for the identification of occupational diseases are not effectively integrated; the local government lacks the ability to identify occupational diseases; the approval system in Article 84-1 of the Labor Standards Law forms the dilemma of "one country, many systems" and causes long working hours; the application of "Occupational Safety and Health Law" does not extend to all workers, the measures for protection of physical and mental health for workers are not clearly defined.
In this paper, we propose the improvement proposals of anti-burnout: repeal or amend Article 84-1 of the Labor Standards Law; reduce labor statutory working hours, implement weekly rest 2 days and holiday; increase labor inspectors, and strengthen labor inspection; revise the identification system of occupational disease; integrate the related measures for protection from burnout for all workers under the "Occupational Safety and Health Law", strengthen physical and mental health protection measures.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>東吳大學<br>會計學系<br>105<br>The articles 43-3 and 43-4 of the Income Tax Law have proposed draft amendments in early 2016. The Rules Controlled Foreign Company and Place of Effective Management have passed the Third Reading on July 12, 2016. The Act will not be implemented in principle until Cross-Strait Taxation Agreement and Common Reporting Standard for Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information in Tax Matters carry out.
Taiwan currently only has information exchange with countries with tax treaties. The tax treaty can only carry out bilateral information exchange for the signed country. The promotion of anti-avoidance should be based on the requirement to join Common Reporting Standard for Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information in Tax Matters. International exchange of information will not only be limited to tax information but also information on financial accounts of country occupants. It will be more effective implementation of anti-tax avoidance.
In the active environment of international anti-tax avoidance measures, it is necessary for states to exchange information in order to understand and investigate the tax hiding in other countries. Therefore, the study will analyze the trends in the reform of international tax laws, the respond of Taiwan to related changes, and the impact of Common Reporting Standard for Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information in Tax Matters on Anti-tax Avoidance Rules.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>輔仁大學<br>企業管理學系管理學碩士在職專班<br>107<br>It has been a rule for multinational firms to minimize their tax burdens through global arrangement of tax locations so as to take advantage from tax differences among regions. However, the tax arrangement, from the tax authority’s perspective, is subject to the concern of Base Erosion and Profit Sharing (BEPS). This is now becoming a sensitive and touchy issue from the lens of international tax law.
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development issued 15 Standards for Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information (AEOI), which provides the guild line for tax authorities to stipulate a series of anti-avoidance measures and to form the basis for information exchanges. In this study, I use four cases to thoroughly investigate how firms react to the regulatory changes in tax avoidance rules. Specifically, issues covered include Controlled Foreign Company Rule (CFC), Place of Effective Management (PEM), Transfer Pricing (TP), International Tax Co-operation Economic Substance Law (ITCESL), and Common Reporting Standard for Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information in Tax Matters (CRS). Through in-depth interviews I develop several propositions to illustrate firm’s responses to changes in tax rules. To sum up, the major factors dictate firm’s responses include cost-benefit analysis, the need of earnings smoothing, and family succession plan.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立政治大學<br>國際貿易研究所<br>93<br>With practices of WTO Dispute Settlement Body (DSB), the institutional issues on Standards of Review have emerged, especially on WTO Anti-dumping disputes. Contestations are focus on whether Appellate Body has mal-applied rules of interpretations on Anti-Dumping Agreement (ADA) as to go beyond Article 17.6(ii). Moreover, Critics query whether Appellate Body De Novo reviewed member’s legal interpretations as to disregard purpose of Article 17.6(ii). By examining relevant anti-dumping penal and appellate body reports, current modes of practices on ADA Article 17.6(ii) are concluded, and probed to its different critiques. Further, issues of such are result from policy considerations of Standards of Review under Anti-Dumping System. In other words, apart from penal and appellate body’s interpretations on ADA, different policy ends will influence current practices of Standards of Review. Consequently, the article checks on and assays on relevant policy justifications of deferential standards of review under anti-dumping system. Concluded, for retaining its institution justifications and ensuring the cooperation gains under multilateral approach, WTO dispute settlement institutes have the necessities in de novo review and leveling legal interpretations. Moreover, due to the different characters, the Chevron mode interpretations on standards of review is without analogy to ADA article 17.6(ii); meanwhile, for preventing distorting antidumping measures as trade protection tools, WTO dispute settlement institutes should have much room on discretion of reviewing members’ ADA legal interpretations. However, in respecting WTO Member’s sovereignty and the requiring of judicial restraint, when taking the standards of review on examining anti-dumping disputes, WTO dispute settlement institutes would strictly and nimbly retain customary rules of interpretation of public international law with considering purposes of ADA article 17.6(ii).

Full textAbstract:
Le sujet de ma thèse recouvre deux aspects. En premier lieu, l'objectif était d'étudier et d'améliorer les méthodes de calcul à une boucle pour les corrections radiatives dans le cadre des théories de champs perturbatives. En second lieu, l'objectif était d'appliquer ces techniques pour calculer les effets dominants des corrections radiatives electrofaibles au processus important de production de Higgs associé à deux quarks bottom au LHC (Large Hadron Collider) du CERN. L'étude concerne le Higgs du Modèle Standard. <br /><br />Le premier objectif est d'importance plutôt théorique. Bien que la méthode générale pour le calcul à une boucle des corrections radiatives dans le modèle standard soit, en principe, bien compris par le biais de la renormalisation, il y a un certain nombre de difficultés techniques. Celles-ci sont liées aux intégrales de boucle. Pour les processus avec plus de 4 particules externes, les expressions d'amplitude obtenues en utilisant la méthode d'analyse sont <br />extrêmement lourdes et très difficiles à manipuler. Dans cette thèse, nous avons étudié ce problème et réalisé que tout le calcul peut être facilement optimisé si l'on utilise la méthode des amplitudes d'hélicité. Un autre problème est lié aux propriétés analytiques des intégrales scalaires. Une partie importante de cette thèse est consacrée à ce problème et à l'étude des équations de Landau. Nous avons trouvé des effets significatifs en raison de singularités de Landau dans le processus de production de Higgs associé à deux quarks bottom au LHC.<br /><br />Le deuxième objectif est d'ordre pratique avec des conséquences expérimentales. On peut résumer les résultats obtenus dans cette thèse comme suit. Si la masse du Higgs est d'environ 120GeV, la correction au premier ordre dominant est petite de l'ordre d'environ -4%. Si la masse de Higgs est d'environ 160GeV, seuil de production d'une paire de W par le Higgs, les corrections électrofaibles bénéficient du couplage fort du Yukawa du top et sont amplifiées par la singularité de Landau conduisant à une importante correction d'environ 50%.

碩士<br>國立中興大學<br>科技法律研究所<br>96<br>Taiwan has been a role of technology acceptor for a long time. The term of industry development is taking the technologies of foreign enterprises as base and further improving on the related directed technologies of manufacturing procedures. Although Taiwan is famous as producing low-cost but high quality products, the “patent right” is always the main problem. Because of using technologies of foreign patentee without licensing, many patentees come to these Taiwan enterprises asking for royalties.
Patentee did have the right to prevent others from using the patent without licensing. However, when industry standard includes the protected patent, the situation is definitely different and the Philips CD-R license case is actually in that situation. By the function of lock-in and network effect, the patent right will get further market power. If the patentee asks the licensee for unreasonable loyalty or refuses to license, that may cause the limitation of competition.
This thesis is trying to discus the related disputes from the aspect of industry standard and then dwells on the explanations and remedies from the aspect of Anti-trust Law. The discourse is mainly divided into two parts: One part is about Patent Pool and Concerted Action; the other part is about the situation of industry standard including protected patent and the related legal disputes.
In the end, take this case as model to discuss that what kind of patent right problem will the DVD industry in Taiwan face and offer some suggestions.

Thesis "Corruption in the Czech Customs Administration" is focused on the issue of corruption and the causes of corrupt behaviour of Czech customs officials. The primary task of this work was to determine whether it is the disorganization of the armed force or the individual deviance which influences the level of corruption in the Czech Customs Administration more. The secondary task was to elicit the level of corruption as it is perceived by the customs officials themselves and on the basis of the acquired information to suggest some anti-corruption measures. The theory of social disorganization and the theory of social deviancy were used as the basis for this work. The data required for the decision whether it is the disorganization of the armed force or the individual deviance which influences the level of corruption in the Czech Customs Administration more and the data for the findings of the corruption level as it is perceived by the customs officials was collected from a quantitative research. This research was conducted in the form of a questionnaire that was distributed among Czech customs officials The research revealed that the main factor which increases the level of corruption in the Czech Customs Administration is the social disorganization of the armed force. The other finding from...

Full textAbstract:
Money laundering involves activities which are aimed at concealing benefits that were acquired
through criminal means for the purpose of making them appear legitimately acquired. Money
laundering promotes criminal activities in South Africa because it allows criminals to keep the
benefits that they acquired through their criminal activities. It takes place through a variety of
schemes which include the use of banks. In this sense money laundering control is based on the
premise that banks must be protected from providing criminals with the means to launder the
benefits of their criminal activities.
The Financial Intelligence Centre Act 38 of 2001 (‘FICA’) in aggregate with the
Prevention of Organised Crime Act 121 of 1998 (‘POCA’) form the backbone of South Africa’s
anti-money laundering regime. Like its international counterparts FICA imposes onerous duties
on banks seeing that they are most often used by criminals as conduits to launder the benefits of
crime. In turn, POCA criminalises activities in relation to the benefits of crime and delineates
civil proceedings aimed at forfeiting the benefits of crime to the state. This study identifies the
idiosyncrasies of the South African anti-money laundering regime and forwards
recommendations aimed at improving its structure.
To this end nine issues in relation to money laundering control and banks are investigated.
The investigation fundamentally reveals that money laundering control holds unforeseen
consequences for banks. In particular, a bank that receives the benefits of crimes such as fraud
or theft faces prosecution if it fails to heed FICA’s money laundering control duties, for example,
the filing of a suspicious transaction report. However, if the bank files a suspicious transaction
report, it may be sued in civil court by the customer for breach of contract. In addition, if the bank
parted with the benefits of fraud or theft whilst suspecting that the account holder may not be
entitled to payment thereof, it may be sued by the victim of fraud or theft who seeks to recover
loss suffered at the hand of the fraudster or thief from the bank.
Ultimately, this study illustrates that amendment of some of the provisions of South
Africa’s anti-money laundering legislation should enable banks to manage the aforementioned
and other unforeseen consequences of money laundering control whilst at the same time
contribute to the South African anti-money laundering effort.<br>Criminal and Procedural Law<br>Mercantile Law<br>LL.D.
