Texto completoResumen
The general aim of this masters thesis is to analyze and compare Terry Cook's och John Ridener's theories of historical archival paradigms with empirical material taken from a Swedish archival context, in order to test the general explanatory value of the theories. The selected source material consists of three politically commissioned archival investigations from the period 1988-2019. Two research questions are formulated. The first question is: How do central problem formulations and proposed solutions differ from each other in the three commissioned archival investigations from the period 1988-2019? The second question is: How do central problem formulations and proposed solutions in the three commissioned archival investigations relate to Terry Cook's and John Ridener's theories about different archival paradigms during the same period? The method of investigation is WPR-analysis, which focuses on how political solution proposals relate to conceptualized problems in particular societal spheres. Two conclusions are presented. The first conclusion is that it is possible to trace a continuity between problem formulations and proposed solutions in the three commissioned investigations, where similarities are generally more common than differences. The second conclusion is that the relationship between central problem formulations and proposed solutions in the commissioned investigations from 1988-2019 and the theories of paradigmatic tendencies during the same period is rather weak, considering that characteristic features of chronologically relevant paradigm periods in both Cook's and Ridener's theories do not correspond clearly with the source material. The results thus demonstrate that the explanatory value of the theories can be questioned.

Thesis (MTech (Public Management))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2016.This study assessed the role of the Public Service Commission (PSC) in the public service grievance investigations in South Africa, with the intention of finding a feasible approach for constructing and attending to fair and just grievance procedure. This study also sought to investigate the effectiveness of the methods used by the PSC employee grievances with the intention of recommending an appropriate approach in dealing with grievances. The PSC, as a Constitutional oversight body, may be charged with responsibilities to assess if the public service deals with grievances of employees, but fail to assess itself. It is studies like this that mirror how the PSC assesses employee grievances in the public service and whether it succeeds in advancing effectively and effective on that.

Parks, Ryan William. "Rhetorical strategies of legitimation : the 9/11 Commission's public inquiry process". Thesis, University of St Andrews, 2011. http://hdl.handle.net/10023/2470.
Texto completoResumen
This research project seeks to explore aspects of the post-reporting phase of the public inquiry process. Central to the public inquiry process is the concept of legitimacy and the idea that a public inquiry provides and opportunity to re-legitimate the credibility of failed public institutions. The current literature asserts that public inquiries re-legitimise through the production of authoritative narratives. As such, most of this scholarship has focused on the production of inquiry reports and, more recently, the reports themselves. However, in an era of accountability, and in the aftermath of such a poignant attack upon society, the production of a report may represent an apogee, but by no means an end, of the re-legitimation process. Appropriately, this thesis examines the post-reporting phase of the 9/11 Commission’s public inquiry process. The 9/11 Commission provides a useful research vehicle due to the bounded, and relatively linear, implementation process of the Commission’s recommendations. In little more than four months a majority of the Commission’s recommendations were passed into law. Within this implementation phase the dominant discursive process took place in the United States Congress. It is the legislative reform debates in the House of Representatives and the Senate that is the focus of this research project. The central research question is: what rhetorical legitimation strategies were employed in the legislative reform debates of the post-reporting phase of the 9/11 Commission’s public inquiry process? This study uses a grounded theory approach to the analysis of the legislative transcripts of the Congressional reform debates. This analysis revealed that proponents employed rhetorical strategies to legitimise a legislative ‘Call to Action’ narrative. Also, they employed rhetorical legitimation strategies that emphasised themes of bipartisanship, hard work and expertise in order to strengthen the standing of the legislation. Opponents of the legislation focused rhetorical de-legitimation strategies on the theme of ‘flawed process’. Finally, nearly all legislators, regardless of their view of the legislation, sought to appropriate the authoritative legitimacy of the Commission, by employing rhetorical strategies that presented their interests and motives as in line with the actions and wishes of the Commission.

Texto completoResumen
This study examines the degree to which the Truth and Reconciliation Commission hearings in East London have mitigated the impact of gross human rights violations on some of the Duncan Village victims. The research draws upon responses from a convenience sample of victims of apartheid atrocities guided by their own individual experiences, literature on conflict management, and TRC hearings that took place in other African states. The East London TRC hearings alert one to the brutality of the apartheid regime whose political intolerance unleashed violence against ordinary citizens of East London. Despite being seen as a witch hunt against the apartheid security establishment, most of the victims feel the TRC opened lines of communication between former enemies, although one cannot conclusively say that total reconciliation between victims and perpetrators has been achieved. Insofar as telling the truth is concerned, the concept defies unanimous acceptance as a contributor to peaceful co-existence. The mere fact that some perpetrators refused to appear before the TRC is an indication that the value attached to it differs from person to person, particularly in a situation where the political landscape is characterized by intimidation and fear. The treatise unveils the East London TRC as a platform for compromise as some of the victims felt anger and hatred for the perpetrators would amount to perpetual self-imposed ostracism. Noting that the TRC was never meant to hurt anyone, the treatise ushers one into a space where reconciliation takes precedence over vengeance.

Texto completoResumen
The purpose of this study is to investigate the current situation of the library and information services of the Arab National Commissions for Unesco. Based on a desired image anticipated by the respective Organisations and the Commissions, and in consideration of the requirements of a specialised library to support the mission of its parent commission, a theoretical framework to act as a guide through this investigation was developed. Within the context of this framework, the relevant components and factors were identified. The focus was placed on input and output factors, and the interaction made by users with these components. For this purpose, a survey of the libraries, and two parallel surveys of both internal and external users were carried out. Relevant data was collected through questionnaires, interviews, visits and observation. Hypotheses to examine the level of use by internal users and how their characteristics influenced the frequency of use were designed and tested. Being interested in certain topics, and seeking information to perform certain tasks were the main significative factors influencing the level of use of internal users. The distance, external users travelled to the library, was the main factor influencing their use. The study also intended to identify the problems inherent in these libraries, and to detect the causes of these problems. A hypothesis designed to examine the relationships among personal attributes and their frequency of encountering the problems was tested. Another hypothesis to test the relationship between some input elements and the frequency of encountering problems was also tested: The main problems relating to availability and accessibility of information, originated from the libraries rather than from the users. In addition, the study considered the needs of internal users, and their level of use, their methods of getting information from the libraries, and what action they took to solve the problem of availability. A general assessment of the effectiveness of the services was discussed, and the main problems hindering the effective role of the libraries were identified. In the light of the analysis of the literature, and the findings of the study, the desired image became more apparent, and an action plan for the development and improvement of the services was formulated.

This thesis investigates the influence of the Tiffany Studios in ecclesiastical stained glass windows of Indianapolis, Indiana. The Tiffany Studios was a leading stained glass manufacturer at the turn of the century and popularized the use of opalescent glass in stained glass commissions. The following study will briefly look at the history of stained glass, discuss the life of Louis Comfort Tiffany, characterize the work of the Tiffany Studios, and evaluate the ecclesiastical stained glass windows located in Center Township commissioned between 1880-1930. The evidence contained within the stained glass summaries suggests that Tiffany Studios did influence the commission of stained glass windows in Indianapolis during the period under review.Department of Architecture

Previous issue date: 2015-08-31This dissertation focus on the analysis of CGI s (General Commission of Investigations) processes, in the city of Cascavel-PR, which occured in 1969 and 1970. We took as research source the processes initiated by CGI, Process number 50/1969-PR (about the donation of an area to Antônio Cid), Process number 219/1970 (deals with irregularities in the payment of pension and life insurance) and the Process number 232/1970 (denunciation to municipal management of Octacílio Mion), all occured in Cascavel, and interviews with one of the defendants. After analysis of the referred sources and comparison with specific bibliography, we observed the dispute of speeches/memories between the accusing commission and the defendants, verifying that in both sides there are unspoken facts, speech control, all intending self-benefit. Also, when analysing the conjuncture, we noticed the relationships of power constituted around the land possession, which were not restricted to a centralizer point, but to a power network linking the local and state political spheres, civil service and entrepreneurs related to land possession. We sought to present a contextualization of the Brazilian political scenery after the resignation of Jânio Quadros until the gestation of the civil-military coup d état of 1964, in order to understand the development of a moralizing speech of combat to the corruption developed by the militaries, used to justify the actions taken by their regulatory agencies, like the CGIs. Even though two General Comissions of Investigation (1964 and 1968) have been created, which were responsible for the withdrawal and punishment of politicians, civil servants, our research investigated the processes initiated by the second commission which, supported by AI-5, tended to investigate possible acts of illicit enrichment, acting, several times, through catalytic actions promoting the discipline of individuals, not only the investigated ones, but the population in general. Our local cut, the city of Cascavel, was presented from its formation in order to observe the connection between its development and the land exploration, since it became an element of dispute in the following decades. We could verify the development of a power network which spread to local and state public spheres, and to the private sphere, that to garantee and/or increase the amount of land possession, made use of public influence, physical violence and naivety of small landowners. Based on that we treated the CGI processes, which investigate the supposed acts of illicit enrichment in the local civil service, one being linked to the donation of land to Antônio Cid in the 1950s during the management of the former governor Moysés Lupion, of the non-payment of restitutions and pensions obstructed by the Registry Office of Cascavel-PR and, a last one, dealing with feasible corruption in the municipal administration in the managements of Octacilio Mion. This allowed us to observe the existence of corruption in the city of Cascavel, but both defendants and CGI made use of omission of facts, names and pages of the processes to minimize or guarantee sentences and avoid the inquiry of feasible corrupt people
Esta dissertação tem como foco a análise de processos da CGI Comissão Geral de Investigações, no município de Cascavel-PR, que ocorreram em 1969 e 1970. Tomamos como fonte de pesquisa os processos instaurados pela CGI, Processo nº 50/1969-PR (sobre a doação de uma área a Antônio Cid), Processo nº 219/1970 (trata de irregularidades no pagamento de pensão e seguro de vida) e o Processo nº 232/1970 (denúncia à gestão municipal de Octacílio Mion), todos ocorridos em Cascavel, e entrevistas com um dos indiciados. Após análise das referidas fontes e o cotejamento com bibliografia específica observamos a disputa de discursos/memórias entre a comissão indiciadora e os indiciados, verificando que dos dois lados existem não-ditos, um controle do discurso, com intenções de benefício próprio. Também, ao analisarmos a conjuntura, percebemos as relações de poder constituídas em torno da posse da terra, que não se restringiam a um ponto centralizador, mas a uma rede de poder ligando a esfera política local, estadual, funcionalismo público e empresários ligados a posse da terra. Buscamos apresentar uma contextualização do cenário político brasileiro pós a renúncia de Jânio Quadros até a gestação do golpe civil-militar de 1964, para podermos entender o desenvolvimento de um discurso moralizante de combate à corrupção desenvolvido pelos militares, utilizado para justificar as ações empreendidas pelos seus órgãos controladores, como as CGIs. Apesar de terem sido criadas duas Comissões Gerais de Investigação (1964 e 1968), responsáveis pela cassação e punição de políticos, funcionários públicos e civis, nossa pesquisa investigou os processos instaurados pela segunda Comissão que, amparada pelo AI-5, tendia a investigação de possíveis atos de enriquecimento ilícito, atuando, muitas vezes, por meio de ações catalíticas promovendo a disciplinarização dos indivíduos, não só os investigados, mas a população em geral. O nosso recorte local, o município de Cascavel, foi apresentado a partir da sua formação para observarmos a ligação do seu desenvolvimento com a exploração da terra, sendo que ela se tornou um elemento de disputa nas décadas seguintes. Pudemos verificar o desenvolvimento de uma rede de poder que se alastrou pela esfera pública local, estadual e privada, que para garantir e/ou aumentar a quantidade de posse de terra, utilizou de sua influência política, violência física e ingenuidade de pequenos proprietários de terra. Com base nisso tratamos dos processos da CGI, que investigam supostos atos de enriquecimento ilícito no funcionalismo público local, um estando ligado a doação de terras feita a Antônio Cid na década de 1950 durante a gestão do ex-governador Moysés Lupion, do não pagamento de indenizações e pensões atravancado pelo Cartório Cível de Cascavel-PR e, um último, tratando de possível corrupção na administração municipal nas gestões de Octacílio Mion. O que nos permitiu observar a existência de corrupção no município de Cascavel, mas que tanto indiciados quanto a CGI utilizaram da omissão de fatos, nomes e páginas dos processos para minimizar ou garantir sentenças e evitar a averiguação de possíveis corruptos

Texto completoResumen
Numerous researchers, employing theories from either psychology or economics, have investigated the circumstances under which firms are likely to adopt salary-based versus commission-based compensation plans. This study integrates the most common theoretical bases of salesperson compensation literature into a broad framework labeled the Eclectic Paradigm of Salesperson Compensation (EPSC). The EPSC proposes that there is a positive association between a firm's salary orientation and resource commitment, and a firm's salary orientation and firm control. There should be a negative association between salary orientation and dissemination risk, and salary orientation and salesperson motivation/performance. Twenty-three hypotheses originating from the EPSC were tested using a pretest sample of 48 real estate salespersons and a test sample of 311 real estate salespersons. The data were analyzed using common factor analysis, logistic regression, multivariate analysis of variance, and median tests. Of the 23 hypotheses, 10 were supported, 7 were partially supported, and 6 were not supported. The results suggest that the eclectic paradigm of salesperson compensation is a promising initial step toward developing a comprehensive model for understanding the determinants of salary versus commission.

MacLean, Diane. "Position, commission and production : a self-reflexive investigation into the generation of ethnographic knowledge through documentary production for BBC Alba". Thesis, Edinburgh Napier University, 2014. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/8850.
Texto completoResumen
This thesis takes as its object of study issues emerging from the synthesis of documentary practice and theoretical discourse. Its context is formed by the production of four published works commissioned and broadcast by the BBC in 2011/2012. These comprise: a drama-documentary, an observational documentary and two radio programmes. The programmes gathered archival and recorded memories and oral histories from Scarp, a small, now abandoned, island off the coast of Harris in the Outer Hebrides whose oral history and memories are in danger of being lost forever. The thesis argues for the acknowledgement of the 'situatedness' of the producer by exploring background, cultulral positioning and professional training, specifically within the context of Gaelic culture and broadcasting. The thesis makes the specific claim that the published works and the research appendices, in combination with the critical essay, make an important contribution not only to our understanding and ethnographic knowledge of island cultures on the west coast of Scotland, but also to our understanding of the processes of media production and respresentation as critically reflected upon by an academic practitioner. Through a cross-disciplinary engagement with debates within documentary, ethnography and oral history, this thesis will also demonstrate that narrative, subjectivity, generic delivery, commissioning constraints and intervention need not exclude television programmes, and the research produced to create them, from containing valuable ethnographic information that (under academic analysis) makes a contribution to our understanding of culture. A self-reflexive methodology reveals the extent to which the producer intervenes in, changes, and brings their own subjective perspective to, any work of ethnographic data gathering or oral history collection, and how this research is constrained by the commissioner.

Texto completoResumen
The respective research focuses on Haitian Christian leaders’, particularly Millennials’, perception of commitment to community service in the metro New York City area in their churches’ neighborhood. Prior to this present study, Haitian Christian leaders’ perception commitment to community service in their churches’ neighborhoods were unknown. Therefore, this present research created a measuring tool – “Rubric for Evaluating Commitment to Community Service” (RECCS) to assess Haitian Christian leaders’ perception commitment to community service. The present research author interviewed three leaders (senior pastors and two youth leaders) from five different churches totaling fifteen participants to determine their level of commitment to community service. Afterward, the present research author did a second interview with senior pastors of each church and searched for indicators of common traits/factors that three highest and the two lowest scoring churches had in common. The present research author discovered that the level of commitment to community service differ among the five churches and between senior pastors and their youth leaders. In addition, the research found that there were no common trait/factors among the highest scoring churches, but there was one trait in common among the lowest scoring churches. Despite this, that trait/factor could not yield a conclusion making the research results be inconclusive. Lastly, the present research author offered ministry recommendations to future research and the Haitian church community.

School of Politics and International Relations, 2005. http://handle.unsw.edu.au/1959.4/23475.
Texto completoResumen
The main aims of the investigation conducted here are to draw out important debates in theory and in the South African social context over the concepts of responsibility and accountability for human rights abuse, and to look at how these were present within, and impacted on, discussions within and around the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. The TRC did not specifically discuss or define theoretical concepts of responsibility or accountability. However, I argue that it is possible to draw out some important features of its implicit approach ??? particularly in terms of its emphasis on collective responsibility and social context (in addition to individual responsibility), and its emphasis on moral arguments for individuals and collectives to accept responsibility and hold themselves accountable by contributing to future change. This ambitious and complex approach raised some important theoretical issues, which have been discussed and debated in the theoretical literature. These include: the relationship between individual responsibility, collective responsibility and the influence of ???the system???; the nature of collective responsibility; the nature of morality; the distinction between moral and political responsibility; and how individuals and collectives can or should be held accountable. In South Africa, these theoretical debates inter-mingled with a range of other factors, including individual and collective interests, motives and political perspectives. From an analysis of the existing literature on the TRC and original interviews conducted with key informants, I draw out three main opposing views which I argue arose in the South African social context about responsibility and accountability, and what the TRC could and should have done to address these. In a detailed analysis of the TRC???s hearings and Final Report, I draw out how theoretical debates, and these three opposing views, were present within and impacted on the TRC???s work. I argue that it was impossible for the TRC to satisfy everyone and resolve these debates, and that its approach led to unrealistic expectations of its work and its role more generally. This has impacted negatively on how the TRC was and is perceived.

Adonis, Cyril Kenneth. "An investigation into the structure and process of forgiveness following gross human rights violations". Thesis, Rhodes University, 1999. http://hdl.handle.net/10962/d1002430.
Texto completoResumen
This study focuses on the structure and process of forgiveness as experienced by individuals, from the East London and surrounding areas, who either suffered gross human rights violations or who are related to someone who suffered gross human rights violations during the Apartheid era. Those who participated in the study testified at the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and expressed forgiveness towards the perpetrators of the violations. The aims of the study were to reveal: the participants' structure cif forgiveness, i.e. how they define forgiveness; the process of forgiveness, i.e. the changes that took place from the time of the violation up until the participants forgave the perpetrators: and, the relation. if any. between the participants' structure and process of forgiveness. It is argued that mainstream Psychology has neglected to study forgiveness because the subject matter is incompatible with the natural scientific method. For this reason, the study was approached from a hermeneutical paradigm. This was motivated by its ability to explicate the meaning and content of phenomena. Unstructured qualitative interviews were conducted with the participants. Data was analyzed using a multi-layered process of progressively deeper interpretation, employing a reading guide technique. Results indicated that authentic forgiveness is an unconditional commitment on the part of victims and survivors to relate positively towards the perpetrators. The relationship should include non-bitterness, non-vengeance, unconditional love and respect for their human rights. Another significant dimension of the structure of forgiveness is the fact that the desire for the truth is not abandoned although forgiveness has taken place. Forgiveness also does not take away the effects of the violation. This means that one does not forget although forgiveness has been granted. Results further indicate that the forgiveness process is highly complex, individualized and not instantaneous. The individuals have to deal with various intrapersonal conflicts and anxieties as a result of the violation, before forgiveness is explored as an option, and before they can finally forgive. Significant interrelations between the structure and process of forgiveness were also identified.

Texto completoResumen
The poor performance in mathematics of learners in schools in Namibia, especially in the grades where learners sit for the national examinations, has been a concern of everybody. Since independence, the Ministry of Education in collaboration with several donor agencies has been aware of the poor performance in mathematics in the country. Several international and local studies have been made in an effort to identify the problems that are hindering learners’ performance in mathematics in Namibia. The findings of some studies that were conducted in the country such as the Southern Africa Consortium Monitoring Education Quality (2004), the Presidential Commission on Education, Culture and Training (1999), and the Mathematics and Science Teachers Extension Program (2002) revealed that the inadequate proficiency of primary teachers in mathematics content could be responsible for learners’ poor performance in mathematics. This study, therefore, is aimed at investigating the mathematical proficiency of lower primary (LP) teachers in Namibia. The study used three instruments to collect data namely, a profile questionnaire – to collect teachers’ demographic data, a proficiency test – to test their proficiency level of mathematics using the content of Grade 4 and 5 learners’ mathematics syllabi and a semi-structured interview schedule – to get views about their own mathematics content knowledge, attitudes towards mathematics as well as problems that hinder effective teaching and learning of mathematics at LP phase. The study was conducted with 30 lower primary teachers from five primary and combined schools in the Ohangwena circuit of the Ohangwena region. The study found out that: (1) the mathematical proficiency of LP teachers is below the Grade 7 Mathematics content. Most teachers are not able to solve the content of mathematics at upper primary (UP) phase. (2) LP education is receiving very little support from the Ministry compared to other phases. (3) There are no workshops or training courses organised for LP teachers. They do not receive enough textbooks and materials, their classrooms are overcrowded and teachers cannot pay attention to individual learners. (4) There is a dire need for LP Head of Departments (HODs) who are specialised at LP; most HODs for LP at schools are not specialised in this area. When it comes to views about future content of mathematics that should be given to LP teachers in Namibia, respondents recommended that future LP teachers should have knowledge of mathematics up to at least Grade 10 but preferably up to Grade 12. They do not want to be restricted to LP mathematics, but would like to have a broader knowledge of mathematics content. This would make them more confident in solving their children’s problems in mathematics. Overall, participants recognised the value of mathematics and the role that it plays in society.

Doctor EducationisThe aim of this research was to establish how successfully schools in the foundation phase (Grades 1 and 2), where training and implementation of OBE has been completed, were able to reach the goals of OBE. As part of the broader goal, this investigation attempted to clarify whether the inclusionary approach of OBE was working in primary schools in the foundation phase based on its central premise that all students can learn and succeed, but not on the same day and in the same way. More specifically, this investigation attempted to establish: (i) How successfully had the 66 specific outcomes been implemented in Grade 1 and Grade 2? (ii) What was the level of success of implementation in the different learning areas? (iii) What was the level of success in the implementation of mastery learning? (iv) How many learners had been moved from special education sites to regular education sites? (v) Did schools have the resources to deal with diversity? (vi) Had there been sufficient human resource development to ensure teachers had been trained to deal with diversity? And (vii) Did teachers feel they could teach all learners? In order to arrive at the above-mentioned aim, this study included a survey in a sample of primary schools in the Western Cape. A survey was conducted in 108 primary schools which constitutes 10% of the primary schools in the Western Cape Province. The 108 schools were chosen based on socio-economic and rural/urban considerations. Schools were identified on the following basis: 25% of the poorly resourced schools in urban areas, 25% of the well resourced schools in urban areas, 25% of the poorly resourced schools in the rural areas and 25% of the well resourced schools in the rural areas. Regarding the results of the study concerning the specific outcomes and learning areas, in grade one and grade two results relating to the specific outcomes and learning areas revealed that the majority of teachers rated the level of success at average and below. For example, the range of those teachers who indicated average and below in grade 1 was from 41.03% to 81.96% and in grade 2 from 43.56% to 79.50%. In most learning areas, the number of teachers who In Grades one and two, both language, literacy and communication and indicated average and below was substantial, for example, in grade 1; Natural Sciences, 81.96%, Technology, 78.43%, Economics and Management Sciences, 72.87%. Similar results have been found in Grade 2, for example; Natural Sciences, 79,50%, indicated average and below was substantial, for example, in grade 1 levels across geographical and socio-economic contexts. For example, the urban poor had the lowest results in Grade two and the urban rich experienced the lowest results in Grade one. This suggests that the implementation of OBE was generally poor. The poor results of the urban rich in relation to the other categories suggest that the implementation of OBE has failed in affluent urban schools yet it is normally expected that affluent schools would perform well in relation to the other categories. This is another indication that the implementation of OBE has generally been poor.

More specifically, it addressed questions regarding retraumatisation through testimony as well as the immediate and also longer-term effects of providing public testimony by accessing the lived experiences of victims in their post-testimony lives. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 individuals who had experienced a gross violation of human rights and who had provided public testimony to the TRC. Thematic analysis of the interview data reveal themes of traumatisation by human rights violations, presence of social support, testimonial significance and the influence of the post-traumalpost-TRC context.

Texto completoResumen
Includes bibliographical references.In 2003, Tanzania enacted the new Fair Competition Act which aimed at improving competition in the market. The Fair Competition Act, No 8 of 2003 (FCA) regulates agreements which lessen or weaken competition, cartel conduct, abuse of dominant position, and it also controls the merging of firms. The Act established two regulatory bodies, namely the Fair Competition Commission (FCC) and the Fair Competition Tribunal (FCT). It vested the FCC with multiple powers (investigation, prosecution and adjudication) and the FCT with a final appellate jurisdiction. While concentration of power in the FCC may be cost-saving to government, it is associated with problems on the side of stakeholders particularly on the question of impartiality, since the FCC is likely to be a judge of its own cause. Likewise, the Constitution of Tanzania provides that the judiciary be the final appellate body in administration of justice, but the FCA vested this power in the quasi-judicial body. The dissertation criticises the powers of the FCC and FCT. It comprises five chapters. Chapter one introduces the dissertation by giving the background of competition law in Tanzania, the statement of the problem, research questions, reason for selection of the topic and research methodology.

Mestrado em Actuarial ScienceEste estudo tem como objetivo investigar se a tábua PA90 do Reino Unido constitui um modelo aceitável para a experiência de mortalidade na Nigéria, no que diz respeito à população dos detentores de anuidades. A motivação para o trabalho provém do facto de o mercado nigeriano de anuidades se ter vindo a desenvolver nos últimos anos. Nesta dissertação apresenta-se uma revisão de alguma da literatura relevante sobre o tópico, incluindo algumas noções de base - o que é uma renda vitalícia - e descrições necessariamente breves da investigação sobre questões de mortalidade desenvolvida no Reino Unido e em África, bem como de algumas das razões pelas quais as taxas de mortalidade estão a ser continuamente objeto de estudo. Os dados e as metodologias indispensáveis à prossecução do objetivo são de seguida discutidos e aplicados. Destaque deve ser dado aos dois métodos de suavização utilizados, spline com base natural (NCS) e spline penalizada, que foram usados no training set data, para a obtenção de taxas de mortalidade alisadas. As taxas estimadas são posteriormente comparadas com a tábua PA90, para estudar se esta deve continuar a ser usada na Nigéria, ou se se impõe a realização de um estudo completo da mortalidade no país.
This study aims to investigate PA90 of the UK as a proxy for annuitant mortality table in Nigeria. Annuities seem to grow rapidly across the globe due to reformations and regulations in the public social security systems regarding post retirement plans. Nigerian annuity market is not left out in this global growth as annuity product now gains momentum by the day. The primary focus of this dissertation is to compare PA90 of the UK with crude rates estimated from the national data available, an important topic nowadays in Nigeria. A literature review is provided - what life annuity means, mortality investigations in UK and Africa, and some of the reasons why mortality rates are being assessed. Data and methodology required to accomplish the objective of the work developed are also thoroughly discussed and used. Two smoothing techniques, natural basis spline (NCS) and penalised spline were applied on the training set, to obtain smoothed mortality rates. The rates that have been estimated are then compared with the PA90 rates, to see whether this life table should continue to be used as a proxy for the mortality of Nigerian annuitants, or an independent study should be carried out.

In the years immediately following World War II in Vancouver, native Northwest
Coast images and objects were frequently made visible in the public spaces of the city,
claimed and exchanged physically and symbolically in events involving both aboriginal
and non-native participants. Like the political and social relations surrounding them, the
meaning and purpose of these objects and images was, arguably, pliable and constantly
shifting. The Totemland Pole, commissioned in 1950 by Vancouver's fledgling
Totemland Society, and designed by local Kwakwaka'wakw carver Ellen Neel, was one
such object-as-symbol. Numerous individuals and communities, aboriginal as well as
non-native, were implicated in the object's production. Following anthropologist
Anthony Cohen's work on social symbols in The Symbolic Construction of Community, I
argue that while the symbol itself was held in common, its meaning varied with its
participants' unique orientations to it. The differently motivated parties, specifically the
work's creator, Ellen Neel, and its commissioners, the Totemland Society, attributed
divergent meaning to the Totemland Pole simultaneously. As Cohen suggests, I propose
that this difference did not lead to argument. Rather it was the form of the Totemland
Pole itself, its impreciseness or "malleability," within the particular socio-political
climate of its production, which enabled these divergent meanings to co-exist.
In order to investigate ways in which the Totemland Pole was understood
simultaneously as symbolically meaningful, this project attempts to map out the subject
positions of and relations of power between Ellen Neel and the members of the
Totemland Society, in relation to the particulars of the local historical moment. The
forgotten details of the Totemland Commission and the lack of a legitimizing discourse
of Neel's production, both fuelled by the gendered, class and race inflected politics of
knowledge construction, have necessitated that the concept of absence be fundamental to
my project. I have therefore approached the Totemland Commission from a number of
surrounding institutional and social discourses, which form trajectories I see as
intersecting at the site of the Totemland Pole. Any one of these trajectories may have
been taken as the singular approach for the investigation of such an object. However, I
wish to deny the autonomy normally granted these discursive fields, emphasizing instead
the ways they are interdependent and may operate in tandem to enrich our understanding
of an object which was the result of, and relevant to, shared histories.

Texto completoResumen
The purpose of the efficacy of the Human Rights Violation Investigation
Commission (Oputa Commission) in the Process of Transitional Justice (1966-
1999) is to explore the range of political and human rights problems that
confronted Nigeria from colonial times, exacerbated by military incursion into
governance in 1966. As the colonial period laid the foundation for ethnic and
religious politics, the period of military rule brought moral, physical and
institutional decay to Nigeria.
The motivations of these military rulers were not driven by service to the
country but personal gratification and accumulation of wealth. Corruption
assumed pandemic proportions. Military leaders not only looted the coffers of the
state but, like other dictators, their actions were above the law. They hounded,
terrorised and jailed journalists, academics, human rights activists and all those
who disagreed with them or their policies.
Attempts to deal with these various problems of governance, which
resulted in cases of gross violation of human rights, led to the Human Rights
Violation Investigation Commission (the Oputa Commission) being established
with a broad mandate to investigate past abuse and reconcile the peoples of
Nigeria, so that harmony could be restored.
The Oputa Commission, through its work, traversed the country and
brought to light gory tales of past abuse in such a way that no one could deny they
ever happened. The submissions received by the Commission revealed that all
ethnic clusters or regional groups in Nigeria felt marginalised and cheated in
federation. This general feeling of anger made the Commission’s work towards the
restoration of harmony in the country even more urgent and important.
The thesis will review Nigeria’s role to assess whether the country during
the period under review complied with its international human rights obligations.
The thesis finally discusses the lessons from the Oputa Commission as a
transitional justice mechanism for Nigerians, and perhaps other nations emerging
from war and/or human rights violations. This is important, considering the
challenges of unity and national development of the Nigerian State. A comparative analysis of other countries with a history of authoritarianism and human rights
violations will be made to evaluate whether the Oputa Commission achieved its
mandate.Public, Constitutional, and International Law

Texto completoResumen
During the years 1941 to 1968, issues relating to workers’ compensation in British
Columbia were subjected to the unprecedented number of three royal commissions. An
explanatory framework that evaluates the merits of the commissions and their
recommendations, both perceived and otherwise, and the degree to which governments
adopted the recommendations, is presented in this paper. The framework is designed to
make use of the available relevant primary sources, particularly minutes of the commission
proceedings, newspaper accounts and legislative statutes.
All three of the Commissions were thorough, well-received exercises whose
recommendations were almost wholly adopted by B.C. governments, though in differing
time frames. The need for the second Commission, which was created a mere six years
after the finish of the first, primarily arose because of rapid developments in the B.C.
labour movement during the mid-1940’s. An infusion of leaders with communist ties
caused it to harden demands for workers’ compensation benefits and reforms. The first
Commission had been considered a success by all parties, but the context of its
recommendations had changed due to the increase in labour’s militancy. This second
Commission was also considered to be reasonably successful. However, dissatisfaction
with a Workmen’s Compensation Board that had completely turned over shortly after the
second Commission, led to demands, particularly by labour, to create another commission
to review its work and procedures. Board members, at that time, were subject to long
tenures and were without any formal mechanism with which to be reviewed.
Critical to the success of the three Commissions was the independent, non-partisan
nature of their proceedings and recommendations. Because of this, the credibility accorded to the recommendations, particularly by labour, caused the Commissions to supercede the
traditional mode of cabinet or legislative committtee deliberation for public policy
formation in this case. The series of Commissions ended because of satisfaction with the
Workmen’s Compensation Act, a much higher turnover rate of the Board and increased
strength of the provincial labour-backed New Democratic Party. Thus, the Commissions
and the three B.C. Supreme Court Justices that served as the Commissioners, must go
down in history has having played a significant role in the evolution of occupational safety
and health policy in British Columbia.

Regulations for the conducts of enterprise about Fair Trade Act, differ from the degree of market power, and can be divided into monopoly, considerable market power, and relative market power. In order to appropriately evaluate how to response to the competition conducts of enterprise, competent authority should make sure first the degree of market power of the enterprise. This doctoral dissertation demonstrates the regulations and cases, including the attitude of Fair Trade Commission and the Administrative Court about investigating and identifying market power, the theory for administrative investigation and the investigation power of Fair Trade Commission, as well as the relevant materials of competition law in US, EU and Japan. By combining practice and theory ways, hope to built the legal system for Fair Trade Commission. Through the above research, this doctoral dissertation made several amendments for the practical operation of Fair Trade Act as follows: 1.Defining market about concerted action, because of the breach and the object should be scope for the transaction as the basis, the market definition is no necessary to be so meticulous. About regulating mergers, competent authority should consider the use hearing process more often, give competitors, upstream and downstream manufacturers, consumers and other interested parties the opportunity to promote their views about the merger. In addition, the definition of the market approach should take the management patterns of enterprises into considerations. 2.While respondents subject to general survey refuse to cooperate, there is no compulsory powers to compel, however Fair Trade Commission should still regularly collect relevant information of some industry that influence market competition greater. When breaches occur, Fair Trade Commission could use the compulsory measures of Fair Trade Act to investigate relevant information. In investigating cases, according to the legal effects of violation to differentiate the investigation procedures. In addition, the principle of self-incrimination do not apply in the case of administrative investigation, so the key point is to forbidden the information obtained from the administrative investigation to provide to the criminal investigation, otherwise it will break the self-incrimination protection. 3.The amendments of Fair Trade Act is to revise search and seizure provisions against restraints of competition cases.However, the penalty to interfere or refuse to cooperate investigation is too low, so if the amount of the penalty do not improve, revising search and seizure provisions is contrary to the principle of proportionality.

Texto completoResumen
The 1880s were turbulent years in the Dominion. Under the auspices of the National Policy, Canada was in the midst of a social and political ‘transformation.’ The social and cultural aspects of this transformation became a source of public debate as the ‘Labour Question’ and the relations between labour and capital reached a high mark of political and economic significance. Waves of strikes and the emergence of large international labour organizations challenged many liberal Victorian ideas about a strictly limited state. Many looked upon the federal government as responsible not only for economic growth, but also for protection from the more pressing problems of industrial life.
The Royal Commission on the Relations of Capital and Labour is a testament to not only the turbulent economic relations in late-Victorian Canada, but the emergence of the Canadian state’s active role in social relations. Its very title envisioned a dual role for the Canadian state: to “promote the material, social, intellectual and moral prosperity” of labouring men and women, and to improve and develop “the productive industries of the Dominion so as to advance and improve the trade and commerce of Canada.” However, this thesis argues that the Labour Commission was more subtly designed to enhance the prestige of the Canadian state and install Ottawa as an authority on, and mediator of, industrial relations in Canada.
Attention to the formation, activities, and impact of the Labour Commission suggests that, rather than an exercise in addressing a mounting social polarization between “labour” and “capital,” the Commission lends insight into the emergence of a Canadian middle class. It was a carefully-constructed exercise in the assertion of middle-class cultural hegemony whereby such values and understandings as respectability, morality, manliness, worth and expertise were naturalized. In the process, the tension between labour and capital was diminished and in its place were developed visions of social reciprocity and mutual interest. It is in this way that the Labour Commission was an exercise in ‘commissioning consent:’ it placed oppositional voices and wrenching exposés about industrial life in a framework that worked to quell rather than stimulate far-reaching critiques of the established order.
The Commission’s formation, methodology and language functioned like an industrial exhibition rather than a pointed social investigation. The evidence presents a thriving economy that had grown exponentially under a wise and paternal government. It also presented a vision of the Dominion whereby the disturbances that occurred between labour and capital could be handled within a conventional language of liberal politics. In addition, social and intellectual elites were fully ensconced in the formation and legitimization of these social and moral understandings. Because it was up to the state to select who would speak for labour and capital, the Commission’s message was not one of class polarization. Thus, exploring who became ‘labour’ and who ‘capital,’ and what sorts of things they said to each other, sheds light on to the emergent strategies of the Canadian state as it sought to understand and influence civil society. The Commission is an indication, even anticipation, of a more activist and energetic state.Thesis (Ph.D, History) -- Queen's University, 2007-12-17 14:59:08.581

This study is an attempt to critique the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission from a theological ethical perspective. The central critique and argument of this study will be that, it is impossible to reconcile the dispossessor and the dispossessed or the oppressor and oppressed in the way the South African TRC did. As such, it will be befitting to start off this study which explores some of the noticeable lessons and challenges emerging from the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission (hereafter, the TRC) by elucidating that this study is an attempt to contribute to the on-going discussions on reconciliation. It is also vital to mention up front that this study attempts to contribute to the discussion on reconciliation which seeks to remove injustice at the root. It contributes to a discussion of the weeds of alienation and fragmentation, and it stands in contrast to the frequent use of reconciliation merely to reach some political accommodation and not to address the critical questions of justice, equality and dignity (Boesak
& DeYoung 2012). It is also befitting to point out that two central themes – political pietism and Christian quietism – form the backdrop to this study (Boesak & DeYoung 2012). The study contends that reconciliation in South Africa was used merely to reach some political accommodation and did not address the three critical questions of justice, equality and dignity. These arrangements perpetually favour the rich and powerful but deprive the powerless of justice and dignity. Hitherto, this reconciliation is presented as if it does respond to the need for genuine reconciliation and employs a language that sounds like the truth, but it is in fact deceitful – and this we call political pietism. It is also vital to mention that “reconciliation” is a Christian concept, and as such, Christians’ measure matters of reconciliation with the yardstick of the gospel and therefore should know better. However, as it will be shown in this study, when
Christians in South Africa discovered that the TRC was not really promoting reconciliation, they became complicit in a deceitful reconciliation. This may have been for reasons of self-protection, fear or a desire for acceptance by the powers that govern the world. Whichever way one looks at it, they tried to seek to accommodate the situation, to justify it and to refuse to run the risk of challenge and prophetic truth telling. As a result, they denied the demands of the gospel and refused solidarity with the powerless and oppressed. This is called Christian quietism (Boesak & DeYoung 2012:1).
This study in its attempt to critique the South Africa TRC from a theological ethical perspective will point out that, the TRC which was obviously the product of the negotiated settlement needs to be understood against the background of the global struggle of particularly Third-World countries which were resisting authoritarian regimes put in place by the West for the benefit of the West. As such, this study will point out how the West, in their attempt to keep a grip on the Third-World countries – particularly on their resources – had to recommend and promote their notion of democracy. Democracy became the only option for Third-World countries as a result of the fall of the Soviet Union. It must, however, be mentioned that the problem is not democracy but the manifestation thereof under capitalism. This is because the notion of democracy was recommended to Third-World countries when capitalism was becoming global. As such, this presented some contradictions because democracy emphasizes joint interests, equality and common loyalties whilst capitalism is based on self-seeking inequality and conflicting individual and group interest (Terriblanche 2002). This means that a transition to democracy (especially constitutional democracy) means that the former oppressor or dispossessor will hold on to economic power. As such, the sudden interest of both the NP and the corporate sector in South Africa to a transition to democracy needs to be understood against this background. This study will argue and demonstrate how the ANC was outsmarted during the negotiations in that, at the formal negotiations, the ANC won political power whilst the NP/corporate sector in South Africa won economic power. This is mentioned to here to point out that both the elite compromise reached at the formal and informal negotiations and the influence of the Latin-American truth commissions led to the inability or unwillingness of the TRC to uncover the truth about systemic exploitation. As such, this study will argue and demonstrate that, on the one hand, reconciliation was not added to the truth commission for the purpose of confronting the country with the demands of the gospel and, on the other hand, the TRC was set up (from its inception) for failure.Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology

China NationalTourism Administration implementsTourism Law effecting on October 1st, 2013 and officially regulating tipping, service charge, and commission that get high attention from the two sides across the Taiwan Strait. The tip issue often exists in some travel dispute. It indicates that the tourism operators will face dispute if tipping is not regulated. Service charge in Taiwan has already been regulated officially in Template of Standardized Contract, but tipping hasn’t been regulated. As tip giving is inclined to consumers’ willing from the tipping development and implementation in Western countries, so does China. Tipping has two types in Taiwan, tip-included system and addition charge. The un-regulated tipping brings some problems including the price competitiveness in tourism industry, the service income guarantee of tour guide/tour leader, and the dispute of service quality between consumer and service provider leading to discrepancy between tipping given and service. Returning to the purpose of tipping and service charge, Taiwan will follow the steps of Western countries to respect consumer’s willing and service provider’s right, and the related laws shall be amended in the future. Therefore, the tourism has to comply the laws and adjust policy to prevent losing competitiveness in the market.This study collected and synthesized experts’ opinions methodically to investigate the impact factors by AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process). The finding of this study indicates that the main impact factors are consumer market, financial operation, schedule and planning, service personnel management. Therefore, the tourism has to comply the laws and adjust policy to prevent losing competitiveness in the market.

This study is entitled ‘investigating the challenges in enforcing international human rights
law in Africa: Towards an effective regional system’. It centres around a critical research
problem namely: what challenges beset regional enforcement of human rights law in
Africa and how can they be addressed to ensure the effective promotion and protection of
human rights in the continent? It critically reviews and revisits the discourses and
scholarly arguments on the crucial issue of regional enforcement of human rights law in
Africa. It traverses through historical epochs in order to explain the origins, scope and
evolution of human rights law in Africa. This is done in the quest for answers to
questions such as: When and how did Africa’s regional human rights system originate?
What factors led to its emergence? Was the concept of human rights recognised in Africa
prior to European colonial rule? What is the present status of international human rights
in Africa? It therefore lays the foundations for a better understanding of the historical and
philosophical origins and evolution of Africa’s regional human rights system. The study
then proceeds to review the normative and institutional mechanisms established in Africa
to enforce human rights at the regional level. Particularly, it highlights the roles of the
African Commission and Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights in the light of their
contribution to, and challenges in, the enforcement of human rights in the region. The
study concludes with recommendations on the possible ways to invigorate the African
human rights system. One of the key findings is that, with appropriate reforms, the
system can be more effective.Constitutional, International & Indigenous Law

The Kuomintang and the People First Party that both held the major seating of the Legislative Yuan thought that the 319 shooting incident seriously influenced the election of president, making Lien Chan and James Soong lose the election on behalf of them. So, they led to make the Act of the Special Commission on the Investigation of the Truth in Respect of the 319 Shooting Incident (called “the Act” for short thereinafter) to set up the Special Commission on the Investigation of the Truth in Respect of the 319 Shooting incident (called “the Commission” for short thereinafter) and to investigate the truth of the 319 shooting incident. The Act provides that the Commission holds the jurisdiction of the 319 shooting incident exclusively, and that it can exercise the power of the prosecutor without the limitation of the code of criminal procedure and etc., impose a fine on the organizations or individuals that refuse to receive its investigation, limit the relevant personnel not able to leave the country when necessary and reopen the procedure of justice when the truth the final judgment establishes is different from what it investigates. These provisions concern whether the exertion of the power of the Commission erodes the core of other constitutional institution, which constitutional institution it belongs to, and whether the Judicial Yuan can receive the constitutional case with political issues. Moreover, the provisions that restrict the fundamental rights of people involve with whether they contravene the constitutional principles of legal reservation, clarity and proportionality. Therefore, the Democratic Progressive Party and the Taiwan Solidarity Union thought the Act contravened the constitutional provisions about the separation of powers, the function of balancing and the protection of fundamental rights, and petitioned for the constitutional interpretation. This essay analyses the reason of the petition for the constitutional interpretation, the intents of the arguments, the appraisal reports of the appraisers, the opinions of the relevant organizations, the Interpretation No. 585 of the Council of Grand Justices, the comments of domestic scholars and foreign legislation to review the following constitutional issues: whether the judicial institution should examine the issue of the Act, whether it is constitutional for the Act to make the Commission a constitutional institution, and whether the exercise of powers of the Commission erodes the fundamental rights of people. The framework of this essay is: the first chapter is the foreword, the second chapter is whether the relevant issues of the Act is political and cannot be examined, the third chapter is the issues of separation of powers, the forth chapter is the issues of protection of human rights, and the fifth chapter is the conclusion. In the second to the forth chapters, every chapter will first describe the relevant details of the case and the relevant issues or provisions of the Act, subsequently explain the relevant opinions in America, German and our country, compare with the Interpretation No. 585 of the Council of Grand Justices and the comments of domestic scholars, and finally make the conclusion. The fifth chapter reflects the whole Interpretation No. 585, describes the newest development of the second edition of the Act, and brings the anticipation of the future.

Recently, our corporations are often in an inferior position during the patent litigation with foreign manufactures, especially in the United States International Trade Commission’s investigations based on section 337 of the Tariff Act. However, just because previously lose, our corporations become to focus on protection and use of intellectual property rights, and begin to execute patent analysis and mapping of existing or possible products development in future to improve their patent force and control potential risks of patent infringement from competitors. Accordingly, this article focuses on the United States International Trade Commission’s investigations based on section 337 of the Tariff Act.

Texto completoResumen
The ill-effects of corruption on the society, polity and economy of a country are far reaching. They have a corrosive effect on the rule of law, on governance and on the welfare of the society. The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa of 1996, which is the supreme law of the country, places as an expectation and obligation on the government accountability of state, and a government free of corruption and the malignancy of economic nepotism. South Africa’s anti-corruption framework is designed as a control-based approach that is multi-faceted and executed through legislation, supporting regulations, audit trails, anti-corruption structures, law enforcement, and public vigilance and reporting structures, amongst others. Be that as it may, South Africa is battling the scourge of corruption and other self-serving behaviours, often amongst the upper echelons of governing power, as demonstrated by the State capture. Some of the acts of corruption stems from the very same institutions that are meant to be the upper guardians of law and order. Numerous corrupt practices occur almost daily, including but not limited to fraud, bribery, extortion, nepotism, conflict of interest, cronyism, favouritism, theft, fronting, embezzlement, influence-peddling, insider trading/abuse of privileged information, bid-rigging and kickbacks and money laundering. The list is not exhaustive. Based on the findings of this study, numerous recommendations and /or suggestions are made. The value of the study lies in the contribution it makes in South Africa’s fight against corruption to become comparable to countries whose corruption perception index is all time favourable, such as Botswana, Seychelles, Hong Kong and Singapore.Criminology and Security Science
