Course: Degree project in logistics, the Business Administration and Economics Programme Authors: Anna Jarenfors and Sissela Järsö Supervisor: Hana Hulthén Examiner: Helena Forslund Title: IPREP: Framework for elimination of an internal return process – A case study at Thule Sweden AB Background: Logistics coordination plays an important role regarding the competitive success of an organization. A company has to eliminate unnecessary processes involved in the supply chain in order to decrease cost and to improve the business. This study focuses on the problems with the internal return process at Thule Sweden AB. Thule Sweden AB has in the last decade had an increased production which have had led to a larger material flow which have impacted the internal return process negatively. The internal return process is, in this study, defined as the process where unused material in production is sent back to the warehouse. Purpose: The purposes of this study is to present suggestions of how the internal return process at Thule can be eliminated and construct a framework of how manufacturing companies can eliminate unnecessary internal return processes. Methodology: The study is a qualitative case study with an abductive approach of the internal return process at Thule Sweden AB. The theories used in the study are found from literature and scientific articles while empirical data has been collected mainly through semi-structured interviews and observations. The selection of interviewees has been based on what knowledge they carry and what responsibility they have in the company. Findings: A process map over the internal return process illustrated three general causes creating an internal return. These were incorrect material delivered to production, incorrect stock balance and leftover material after production. The three general causes found formed the basis of a fishbone diagram which identified seven root causes. The seven root causes presented were, not able to scan the barcode on the pallets, pallet put at incorrect production line, incorrect previous internal return, lack of stock counting at internal return, insufficiency in the material- and production planning, suppliers not able to produce in batch size and no kitting station. Suggestions of how to eliminate an internal return process were presented and the fundamental categories of the framework presented were integration, personnel, routines, environment and planning. Key words: Internal return process, process elimination, general cause, root cause, framework, manufacturing companyKurs: Examensarbete i logistik för Civilekonomprogrammet Författare: Anna Jarenfors and Sissela Järsö Handledare: Hana Hulthén Examinator: Helena Forslund Titel: IPREP: Framework for elimination of an internal return process – A case study at Thule Sweden AB Bakgrund: Logistikkoordinering spelar en viktig roll för ett företags konkurrenskraft. Ett företag måste eliminera onödiga processer i en försörjningskedja för att minska kostnader och förbättra verksamheten. Denna studie fokuserar på den interna returprocessen på Thule Sweden AB. Thule Sweden AB har under det senaste decenniet haft en ökad produktion vilket lett till ett större materialflöde som påverkat den interna returprocessen negativt. Den interna returprocesses är i denna studie definierad som den process där oanvänt material i produktion returneras till lagret. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att presentera förslag till hur den interna returprocessen kan elimineras samt att presentera ett ramverk över hur tillverkande företag kan eliminera onödiga interna returprocesser. Metod: Studien är en kvalitativ fallstudie, med ett abduktivt synsätt, över den interna returprocessen på Thule Sweden AB Teorierna använda i studien utgår från litterära källor samt vetenskapliga artiklar medan empirisk data samlats in mestadels från semi-strukturerade intervjuer och observationer. Urvalet av intervjurespondenter har baserats på vilket kunskap de erhåller samt vilka ansvarsområden de har i företaget. Resultat: En processkarta över den interna returprocessen illustrerade tre generella orsaker till det processen. Dessa var fel material levererat till produktion, felaktigt lagersaldo och överblivet material efter produktion. De tre generella orsakerna utgjorde grunden till ett fiskbensdiagram vilket identifierade sju rotorsaker till den interna returprocessen. De sju rotorsakerna var: omöjlighet att skanna streckkoden på pallen, pall transporterad till fel produktionslinje, felaktig tidigare intern returprocess, brist på inventeringsrutiner vid intern returprocess, ineffektivitet i material- och produktionsplaneringen, att leverantörer inte kan producera i batch-storlek samt brist på kittingstation. Förslag på hur den interna returprocessen kan elimineras presenterade och grundstenarna i det ramverk som presenterade var integration, personal, rutiner, omgivning och planering. Nyckelord: Intern returprocess, processeliminering, generell orsak, rotorsak, ramverk, tillverkande företag

Gamper, Frederick. "Dysregulated toll-like receptor mechanisms : the cause of atherosclerosis?" Thesis, University of Sussex, 2011. http://sro.sussex.ac.uk/id/eprint/6904/.
Texto completoResumen
It is estimated that in the European Union 2 million deaths each year (42% of total) are as a result of cardiovascular disease, of which atherosclerosis is a major underlying factor. In 2006 this was estimated to cost the European Union an astonishing €192 billion. Once considered a lipid storage disorder it is becoming apparent that atherosclerosis is in fact due to an inflammatory dysfunction, with a number of endogenous and exogenous activators coming to light. The process of atheroma formation is poorly understood. This study seeks to discover the underlying mechanisms of plaque development with the view to develop novel therapeutics for this disease. Our results demonstrate a modulatory role of endogenous low density lipoprotein (LDL), “bad cholesterol”, on bacterial infections. Using primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) I have shown that “non-self” oxidised LDL can reduce cell surface expression of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) of the innate immune system, causing modulation of the cellular response directed towards atherosclerosis-associated bacterial pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). Triple label fluorescent confocal microscopy of HUVECs revealed altered trafficking and targeting of PRRs of the innate immune system when endogenous LDL were combined with a bacterial infection in comparison to infection alone, indicating a source of the inflammatory dysfunction observed in this disease. This study illustrates that oxidatively modified LDL has a profound effect on bacterial infection, dramatically altering cellular response which may begin to explain the root cause of atherosclerosis. Through experimentation with human embryonic kidney (HEK) transfectants and HUVEC PRR silencing this study uncovered lipid raft dependant Toll-like receptors (TLRs) as fundamental culprits of this multi-factorial disease, with emphasis on TLR2 and TLR4. Future therapy designed for atherosclerosis will unquestionably involve the manipulation of TLR signalling.

Matera, Patrycja. "Les sujets non-canoniques en polonais et en russe". Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015USPCA082.
Texto completoResumen
Dans cette thèse, nous nous intéressons aux trois types d’expressions dont la structure s’écarte du modèle de la proposition transitive canonique, à savoir les constructions : anticausatives, à causalité interne, et impersonnelles en polonais et en russe. Leur point commun est que l’écart par rapport à une phrase transitive porte sur la référence du sujet de la proposition. Dans tous les cas, le référent du sujet est non-agentif. Dans certains cas, le marquage morphologique reflète cette absence, tant sur le prédicat qui est marqué à la troisième personne du singulier neutre que par l’absence d’un sujet nominatif. Ailleurs, la morphologie ne laisse rien, ou presque rien apparaître, le prédicat s’accordant avec l’argument Thème ou le Patient. Ces expressions feront l’objet d’une étude comparative, dans laquelle seront étudiées : la nature de chaque participant non-canonique qui apparaît dans la proposition, les caractéris¬tiques de chaque prédicat présent, et enfin, les propriétés combinatoires entre les participants et les prédicats. Il sera montré que la nature et la structure et enfin la manière dont sont légi¬timés les sujets non-canoniques ne sont pas seulement liées aux propriétés du réfé¬rent de sujet, mais aussi dépendent de la nature du prédicat. Tout comme cela a été proposé pour les constructions anticausatives et à causalité interne (cf. Alexiadou & Anagnostopou¬lou (2003), Alexiadou, Anagnostopoulou & Schäfer (2006), Schäfer (2008)), nous avancerons que les constructions impersonnelles comportent un prédicat Cause qui est responsable de la légitimation thématique des caus(at)eurs nominatifs et obliques. Les différences entre ces structures sont dues à la présence ou à l’absence de la tête Voice. Vues sous cet angle, les constructions impersonnelles sont une sorte de causativisation. Le caus(at)eur indéfini (cf. Kibort (2004)) présent dans les constructions impersonnelles d’une part, et la possible présence des causeurs obliques d’autre part, sont des preuves qui étaient cette hypothèseIn this dissertation we study three kinds of expressions that deviate from the model of canonical transitive sentences, namely anticausative, internal causation and impersonal constructions in Polish and in Russian. The common point is that the deviation from a transitive sentence has to do with the subject’s reference. In all cases, the referent of the subject is non-agentive. In some cases, the morphological marking reflects this absence, both on the predicates which is frozen in the third person singular (neuter), and by the absence of a nominative subject. In the other two cases, the non-canonicity is not morpologically revealed because the inflected verb agrees with the nominative argument whose referent is the Theme or the Patient.A comparative study of these expressions will be given, in so far as the nature of the non-canonical participants that appear in the sentence, the characteristics of each predicate, and finally, the combinatorial properties between participants and predicates are concerned.It will be shown that the nature, the structure and ultimately the way that non-canonical subjects are licensed are not only related to the properties of the subject’s reference, but also depend on the nature of the predicate. Just as it was proposed for anticausatives and internal causal constructions (Alexiadou & Anagnostopoulou (2003), Alexiadou, Anagnostopoulou & Schäfer (2006), Schäfer (2008)), it will be shown that impersonal constructions include a Cause predicate that is responsible for the thematical licensing of nominative and oblique causers. The differences between these structures are due to the presence or absence of a Voice head. From this perspective, impersonal constructions encode a kind of causativisation. The indefinite causer (analysed in Kibort (2004)), which is present in impersonal constructions on the one hand, and the possible presence of other oblique causer, are thus deemed to be evidence that supports this hypothesis

Eriksson, Anders y Anes Music. "Identifying factors that cause inventory build-ups and how to solve it". Thesis, Mälardalens högskola, Akademin för innovation, design och teknik, 2019. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:mdh:diva-44565.
Texto completoResumen
Companies have put much focus on production systems to generate and maintain competitiveness which has contributed in less focus to logistics. The material flow is the process after the main processes and has therefore been regarded as “unimportant”. If the material flow fails, there can be consequences such as inventory-build ups or undersupply of material. Lean thinking is one strategy that may be applied to analyze and identify wastes, but the identification of problems has been harder to detect, while the ability to solve them has not improved at the same rate. Following two research questions has been asked to identify how companies should proceed to improve their inventory management but also what factors contribute to the inventory build-ups. · What may cause excess inventory in manufacturing companies? - How can a manufacturing company reduce WIP´s? The research method is based on a qualitative approach with an interpretivist research methodology to help answer the questions. A case study was done at a manufacturing company to help answer the research questions. The data has been collected by observations trough section B1 and unstructured interviews with both management and operators. The collected data was later compared to the literature according to the inductive reasoning to be able to make suggestions for improvements. The DMAIC tool has been a central point of this research regarding the mapping of the current state and suggestion of a future state. The case study was conducted at Company X AB in the middle of Sweden which is a company that manufactures components and complete solutions. The focus on production has resulted in less focus on the internal logistics. With the low focus on the internal logistics, inventory build-ups have occurred. The results point to the OEE being a contributing factor to the inventory build-up. The availability of both machines was low and therefore caused the OEE to be low. The low availability was caused by long changeovers, staff shortages, and emergency reparations. The conclusions are that Company X must make improvements so that the factors of the low availability decrease in frequency and severity to reduce the work-in-process (WIP). The improvements should be approached with different lean-tools such as SMED, KANBAN, FIFO and 5S.

Viale, Greta. "Auxiliary selection in Italian and French : a comparative study of the so-called peripheral verbs". Electronic Thesis or Diss., Sorbonne université, 2025. http://www.theses.fr/2025SORUL020.
Texto completoResumen
Cette thèse examine le phénomène complexe de la sélection des auxiliaires dans deux langues romanes, à savoir l'italien et le français. L'objectif principal est d'élucider les facteurs qui influencent le choix entre les auxiliaires être et avoir dans la formation du passé composé. L'étude se concentre sur les verbes susceptibles de sélectionner les deux auxiliaires, communément appelés verbes périphériques (Sorace 2000), qui, malgré de nombreuses analyses individuelles, n'ont pas été étudiés de manière exhaustive (Giancarli 2015). Les questions de recherche centrales sont les suivantes : quelles caractéristiques permettent à ces verbes de sélectionner les deux auxiliaires ? Quels facteurs déterminent la prédominance d'un auxiliaire par rapport à l'autre ? Quel est le poids relatif des facteurs tels que l'agentivité et la télicité dans le choix des auxiliaires (Sorace 2000) ? Pour la première fois, cette recherche explore systématiquement la sélection des auxiliaires en italien et en français en utilisant l'analyse de corpus et le traitement automatique des langues (TAL). En intégrant ces méthodes, l'étude vise à identifier les facteurs les plus significatifs influençant le choix des auxiliaires pour les verbes intransitifs présentant une double auxiliaire. La recherche combine une analyse qualitative d'occurrences annotées manuellement à partir de SketchEngine (Kilgarriff et al., 2014) avec une analyse quantitative basée sur des modèles statistiques pour déterminer les paramètres les plus importants dans la sélection des auxiliaires. Les résultats révèlent l'importance primordiale des aspects sémantiques, syntaxiques et morphologiques dans le choix entre être et avoir. Notamment, la télicité s'avère moins pertinente pour ces verbes. L'étude met également en lumière des différences significatives entre l'italien et le français. En italien, les verbes sont catégorisés en verbes pleins et semi-auxiliaires. Pour les verbes pleins, la cause interne et les traits humains constituent des facteurs cruciaux dans la sélection des auxiliaires. Pour les verbes semi-auxiliaires, le type d'infinitif et les traits humains associés à certains infinitifs se révèlent significatifs. En français, le type de construction joue un rôle déterminant dans le choix de l'auxiliaire. En apportant des réponses approfondies à des questions encore peu explorées, cette étude s'aligne sur les travaux existants tout en les enrichissant. Elle améliore considérablement notre compréhension de la catégorisation des verbes et de la sélection des auxiliaires, avec des implications majeures pour la linguistique théorique et appliquée. De plus, elle souligne l'importance des approches méthodologiques intégratives dans l'analyse des phénomènes linguistiques complexesThis thesis investigates the intricate phenomenon of auxiliary selection in two Romance languages, namely Italian and French. The primary objective is to elucidate the factors that influence the choice between the auxiliaries ‘be' and ‘have' in the formation of the perfect tense. The study focuses on verbs that can select both auxiliaries, commonly known as peripheral verbs (Sorace 2000), which, despite extensive individual examination, have not been comprehensively analyzed (Giancarli 2015).The central research questions addressed are: What characteristics enable these verbs to select both auxiliaries? Which factors determine the predominance of one auxiliary over the other? What is the relative weight of factors such as agentivity and telicity in auxiliary selection (Sorace 2000)? For the first time, this research systematically explores auxiliary selection in Italian and French using corpus analysis and natural language processing (NLP). By integrating these methods, the study aims to identify the most significant factors influencing auxiliary choice in intransitive verbs with double auxiliation. The research combines qualitative analysis of manually annotated occurrences from SketchEngine (Kilgarriff et al., 2014) with quantitative analysis using statistical models to determine the most significant parameters in auxiliary selection. The findings reveal the paramount importance of semantic, syntactic, and morphological aspects in the choice of ‘be' or ‘have'. Notably, telicity is found to be less relevant for these verbs. The study also highlights significant differences between Italian and French. Italian verbs are categorized into full verbs and semi-auxiliaries. For full verbs, internal cause and human traits are crucial factors in auxiliary selection. For semi-auxiliary verbs, the type of infinitive and the human trait associated with particular infinitives are shown to be significant. In French, the type of construction heavily influences auxiliary choice.By providing comprehensive answers to previously unexplored areas, this study aligns with and extends the existing literature. It significantly enhances our understanding of verb categorization and auxiliary selection, with substantial implications for both theoretical and applied linguistics. Furthermore, it underscores the importance of integrative methodological approaches for analyzing complex linguistic phenomena

Texto completoResumen
A alteração no sistema de controles internos da empresa estudada teve como marco principal a mudança do foco no trabalho da auditoria interna, que começou a desempenhar suas atividades de forma estruturada e seguindo uma metodologia específica; além, de perseguir um objetivo estratégico da organização. A auditoria interna, antes do processo de certificação do sistema de controles internos exigido pela seção 404 da SOX, era apenas um instrumento de detecção de erros e compliance fiscal, que baseava seus trabalhos somente em fatos passados, com a constatação de deficiências de controles. Todavia, sem assessorar a alta a
administração da empresa na resolução das deficiências, objetivando a implementação das melhorias dos controles internos. Com a necessidade de certificação da eficácia dos controles internos, a partir do ano de 2005, o foco dos
trabalhos de auditoria interna foi direcionado para lograr melhorias nos métodos de controle, gestão de riscos, prevenção de fraudes e erros, nos processos operacionais, contábeis e financeiros da organização. O objetivo dessa pesquisa foi, por meio de estudo de caso único, mensurar os principais procedimentos realizados para a implantação do sistema de controles internos da empresa estudada, incluindo
a metodologia adotada, o modelo escolhido, o processo de controle estabelecido, a identificação e avaliação dos principais riscos e controles, bem como a forma de
seleção, avaliação e teste dos controles internos existentes. Buscou-se coletar dados preconizados pela literatura de autores renomados e analisar as diversas bibliografias, com o objetivo de comparar com a pesquisa que foi realizada nos
documentos fornecidos pela empresa analisada. Este estudo levantou pontos importantes sobre o processo de gestão da empresa e da forma como se utilizou da auditoria interna como ferramenta para a melhoria de seus controles internos.
Destacam-se a geração de valor empresarial que um bom ambiente de controle interno traz e os motivos que levam uma organização a implementar uma área de auditoria interna, com especial atenção ao foco de assessoramento e consultoria,
alinhado as práticas internacionais de auditoria interna. Entretanto, apesar de observar melhorias na atuação da auditoria interna da organização, constata-se a necessidade de alinhamento de algumas práticas internacionais, ainda não
implementadas. Descobriu-se, também, que a auditoria interna, com o devido emporwerment da alta administração, e utilizando-se das técnicas atuais e internacionais, aumentam a confiabilidade do sistema de controles internos e com isso geram valor às suas organizações. Nesta pesquisa pôde-se constatar a utilização da auditoria interna como ferramenta de gestão de recursos organizacionais, ocasionando melhorias no sistema de controles internos da empresa, e ficando constatada, por meio de auditoria executada por firma
independente, a irrefutável melhoria dos controles internos da organização estudada.The change in the internal control system in the company studied has initiated with the modification of the audit scope from the internal audit department, which started to perform their activities in a more structured way and following a specific methodology, in addition, to pursue strategic objectives of the organization. Before the certification of the internal controls system required by Section 404 of SOX, the internal audit was viewed as a tool to detect mistakes and to attend tax compliance, based only on past events and pointing out the deficiencies in the controls, but without advising the senior management and board of directors on what to do to improve the internal control environment. The need for certification of the effectiveness of internal control in 2005 changed the focus of the internal audit works, which was now directed to achieve improvement in the methods of control, risk management, prevention of fraud and mistakes in the operation, accounting and financial process of the rganization. The aim of this study was, through a study of a case, to measure the main procedures performed for the deployment of the internal control system of the company object of this study, including the methodology, the model chosen, the process of control established, the identification and assessment of key risks and controls, and how to select, evaluate and test internal controls. We tried to collect data from renowned author of specific literature and analyze the various bibliographies, in order to compare with the research that was carried out in the documents provided by the studied company. This study raised important points about the management process in the company and how internal audit is used as a tool for the improvement of their internal controls. It is to add value for the business that companies seek for a good internal control environment and that provides the reason to lead an organization to implement an internal audit department, with particular attention to the outbreak of advice and consultancy, international practices aligned internal audit. However, we observed several improvements in the performance of internal audit department in the organization there is still a need to align with some international practices, which it will be implemented. It was also found that the internal audit department with proper empowerment from senior management, and using the current and international techniques, increased the reliability of the internal controls system and thereby add value to their organization. In this research it was noted the use of the internal audit department as a management tool for better use of resources, for improvement in the internal controls system, and the irrefutable improvement in the internal control environment of the organization studied, which could be noted by the external audit performed by an independent firm.

Texto completoResumen
The importance of internal audit function for an organization is difficult to explain given that there is no one best way to define it.
In fact, internal audit function is not always considered as a pillar of organizational governance and legitimacy; nevertheless, the importance of the internal audit is stressed by the fact that stakeholders perceive an organization as having legitimacy when the system of governance is effective.
Legitimacy does not have a material substance, it is only a perception or a state of mind and, for this reason, it is not directly measurable.
The measurable element of legitimacy is its effect, visible in the level of support stakeholders give to the organization.
However, this dissertation does not link the performance of internal audit directly to legitimacy; it rather links the influence of the internal audit in the organizational system of governance.
Internal audit is a support function, which is not directly involved in the provision of goods and services. The output of the audit process is information given in the form of reports and presentations making it difficult to identify the benefits derived from its activities.
Therefore, the principal aim of this paper is to identify the effect of internal audit on the governance system, evaluating if it is relevant or not, perceivable by the players of the company or symbolic.
The presence of an internal audit function can be viewed as the alignment of the values and norms of stakeholders. If the adoption of internal audit is considered as the right thing to do, more legitimacy is perceived. Internal audit is a monitoring and oversight mechanism to ensure the protection of the organization against failure to achieve strategic goals.
The company could choose between internal or external audit: the use of external audit is possible because both internal and external audit focus on the same direction. In fact: external audit provides assurance on the reported information, while internal audit monitors the organizational systems for the production of reported information.
The presence of the internal audit could be influenced by the dimension or the type of enterprise.
As a form of control itself, the decision of whether or not to adopt an internal audit function depends on whether the benefits of adopting it exceeds its costs.
This is consistent with the noted trend that big organizations are more likely to adopt internal audit than smaller organizations.
The first chapter of this paper has the aim to provide an examination of the literature treating governance system issues and the role of the internal audit function within these systems. Therefore, the starting point is to consider how the performance of the internal audit function has been considered in the past by academics and practitioners.
The second chapter attempts to understand the drivers that explain the adoption of the Internal Audit function within a company.
The third chapter is devoted to describe the organization of the internal audit function within companies.
The fourth chapter contains six case studies, in order to describe the characteristics of internal audit departments in six Italian companies with the focus of investigating the personal characteristics of internal auditors.

Texto completoResumen
Internal communication is a central process by which employees exchange information, build relationships and share organisational values. Fundamental to this process is the psychological contract. However, there is limited understanding of how internal communication influences psychological contract. The study contributes to theory by demonstrating that the dimensions of internal communication independently influence internal stakeholders' psychological contract beliefs. For managers, the findings can be used as a framework to improve internal communication processes and strategies.

Texto completoResumen
Beaucoup de services vitaux de la vie quotidienne dépendent de systèmes d'ingénierie hautement complexes et interconnectés; Ces systèmes sont constitués d'un grand nombre de capteurs interconnectés, d'actionneurs et de composants du système. L'étude des systèmes interconnectés joue un rôle important dans l'étude de la fiabilité des systèmes dynamiques; car elle permet d'étudier les propriétés d'un système interconnecté en analysant ses sous-composants moins complexes. Le diagnostic des pannes est essentiel pour assurer des opérations sûres et fiables des systèmes de contrôle interconnectés. Dans toutes les situations, le système global et / ou chaque sous-système peuvent être analysés à différents niveaux pour déterminer la fiabilité du système global. Dans certains cas, il est important de déterminer les informations anormales des variables internes du sous-système local, car ce sont les causes qui contribuent au fonctionnement anormal du processus global. Cette thèse porte sur les défis de l'application de la théorie inverse du système et des techniques FDD basées sur des modèles pour traiter le problème articulaire du diagnostic des fautes et de l'analyse des causes racines (FD et RCA). Nous étudions ensuite le problème de l'inversibilité de la gauche, de l'observabilité et de la diagnosticabilité des fauts du système interconnecté, formant un algorithme FD et RCA multi-niveaux basé sur un modèle. Ce système de diagnostic permet aux composants individuels de surveiller la dynamique interne localement afin d'améliorer l'efficacité du système et de diagnostiquer des ressources de fautes potentielles pour localiser un dysfonctionnement lorsque les performances du système global se dégradent. Par conséquent, un moyen d'une combinaison d'intelligence locale avec une capacité de diagnostic plus avancée pour effectuer des fonctions FDD à différents niveaux du système est fourni. En conséquence, on peut s'attendre à une amélioration de la localisation des fauts et à de meilleurs moyens de maintenance prédictive. La nouvelle structure du système, ainsi que l'algorithme de diagnostic des fautes, met l'accent sur l'importance de la RCA de défaut des dispositifs de terrain, ainsi que sur l'influence de la dynamique interne locale sur la dynamique globale. Les contributions de cette thèse sont les suivantes: Tout d'abord, nous proposons une structure de système non linéaire interconnecté inversible qui garantit le fauts dans le sous-système de périphérique de terrain affecte la sortie mesurée du système global de manière unique et distincte. Une condition nécessaire et suffisante est développée pour assurer l'inversibilité du système interconnecté qui nécessite l'inversibilité de sous-systèmes individuels. Deuxièmement, un observateur interconnecté à deux niveaux est développé; Il se compose de deux estimateurs d'état, vise à fournir des estimations précises des états de chaque sous-système, ainsi que l'interconnexion inconnue. En outre, il fournira également une condition initiale pour le reconstructeur de données et le filtre de fauts local une fois que la procédure FD et RCA est déclenchée par tout fauts. D'une part, la mesure utilisée dans l'estimateur de l'ancien sous-système est supposée non accessible; La solution est de la remplacer par l'estimation fournie par l'estimateur de ce dernier sous-systèmeMany of the vital services of everyday life depend on highly complex and interconnected engineering systems; these systems consist of large number of interconnected sensors, actuators and system components. The study of interconnected systems plays a significant role in the study of reliability theory of dynamic systems, as it allows one to investigate the properties of an interconnected system by analyzing its less complicated subcomponents. Fault diagnosis is crucial in achieving safe and reliable operations of interconnected control systems. In all situations, the global system and/or each subsystem can be analyzed at different levels in investigating the reliability of the overall system; where different levels mean from system level down to the subcomponent level. In some cases, it is important to determine the abnormal information of the internal variables of local subsystem, in order to isolate the causes that contribute to the anomalous operation of the overall process. For example, if a certain fault appears in an actuator, the origin of that malfunction can have different causes: zero deviation, leakage, clogging etc. These origins can be represented as root cause of an actuator fault. This thesis concerns with the challenges of applying system inverse theory and model based FDD techniques to handle the joint problem of fault diagnosis & root cause analysis (FD & RCA) locally and performance monitoring globally. By considering actuator as individual dynamic subsystem connected with process dynamic subsystem in cascade, we propose an interconnected nonlinear system structure. We then investigate the problem of left invertibility, fault observability and fault diagnosability of the interconnected system, forming a novel model based multilevel FD & RCA algorithm. This diagnostic algorithm enables individual component to monitor internal dynamics locally to improve plant efficiency and diagnose potential fault resources to locate malfunction when operation performance of global system degrades. Hence, a means of acombination of local intelligence with a more advanceddiagnostic capability (combining fault monitoring anddiagnosis at both local and global levels) to performFDDfunctions on different levels of the plantis provided. As a result, improved fault localization and better predictive maintenance aids can be expected. The new system structure, together with the fault diagnosis algorithm, is the first to emphasize the importance of fault RCA of field devices, as well as the influences of local internal dynamics on the global dynamics. The developed model based multi-level FD & RCA algorithm is then a first effort to combine the strength of the system level model based fault diagnosis with the component level model based fault diagnosis. The contributions of this thesis include the following: Firstly, we propose a left invertible interconnected nonlinear system structure which guarantees that fault occurred in field device subsystem will affect the measured output of the global system uniquely and distinguishably. A necessary and sufficient condition is developed to ensure invertibility of the interconnected system which requires invertibility of individual subsystems. Second, a two level interconnected observer is developed which consists of two state estimators, aims at providing accurately estimates of states of each subsystem, as well as the unknown interconnection. In addition, it will also provide initial condition for the input reconstructor and local fault filter once FD & RCA procedure is triggered by any fault. Two underlyingissues are worth to be highlighted: for one hand, the measurement used in the estimator of the former subsystem is assumed not accessible; the solution is to replace it by the estimate provided by the estimator of the latter subsystem.

COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DO PESSOAL DE ENSINO SUPERIORO marketing interno é um conceito que surgiu pela preocupação das empresas em manter um alto grau de consistência na entrega de seus serviços. O fato do pessoal de contato se envolver diretamente com os consumidores no ato da venda, tornou essencial que eles sempre fossem capazes de atender às necessidades dos clientes. Portanto, a valorização dos funcionários e seu uso como meio de se atingir metas estratégicas são os principais objetivos do marketing interno. No Brasil, são escassos os estudos sobre este tema e as poucas pesquisas a respeito mostraram iniciativas ainda principiantes. Esta pesquisa busca explorar a literatura de marketing interno, através de análise e crítica, e verificar como as empresas brasileiras tratam deste tema, no que diz respeito a sua interpretação e implementação. Dentre os resultados obtidos, percebe-se que o marketing interno é um conceito novo, mas que já demonstra gerar mudanças culturais. O que não é mencionado na literatura, porém é mostrado aqui, é que a sua implementação não deve ser igual na empresa toda, pois existem áreas, como as de apoio, em que o programa de marketing interno deve focar mais as suas atenções.
Internal marketing is a concept that emerged from the concerns of companies in maintaining a high standard of services. The fact that contact personnel interact directly with the customer in the moments of truth, makes it essential that companies are always able to fulfill the client`s needs. Thus, valuing the employees and using them as a vehicle to obtain strategic objectives is the main goal of internal marketing. In Brazil, case studies on this theme are rare and the little existing research shows that internal marketing is still in initial stage. The present research explores the literature on internal marketing, through analysis and criticism, and verifies how Brazilian companies address this theme, interpret it and implement it. The results suggest that internal marketing is a new concept, but one that is already generating cultural change. What is not mentioned in the literature, but demonstrated here, is that internal marketing should not be implemented uniformly throughout the whole company, because some areas, such as the support ones, need more attention within the internal marketing program.

Texto completoResumen
Knowledge is a crucial resource in modern business environments. The proper management of an organization’s internal knowledge assets can lead to a sustainable competitive advantage. Literature on knowledge management has identified a large number of factors that influence the transfer of knowledge within organizations. The purpose of this study is to investigate how internal knowledge assets are managed in the R&D department of a large company in the high-tech healthcare industry, what informal and formal organizational factors influence the transfer of knowledge, and to explore possible requirements and success factors for ICTs in knowledge transfer. A qualitative case study approach is adopted and semi-structured interviews with a total of ten members of the research and development departments are performed. A theoretical framework is used with elements from the knowledge-based view of the firm, dimensions of knowledge strategies, operational knowledge management practise, knowledge transformation models, and social exchange theory. The results of the empirical research show a knowledge-heavy company that engages in personalization, as well as codification strategies with the support of ICTs. Socialisation, combination, externalisation, and internalization are identified and related to the organization’s processes and practises. In addition, drivers, such as a friendly, cooperative atmosphere and the complexity of task, as well as deterrents of knowledge transfer, such as lack of time and weaknesses of ICTs, are identified. Interviewees identified several requirements for ICTs, above all low thresholds and the attainment of critical mass, as well as the demand for standardization and formalization. It was also found that employees are willing to document their knowledge in a technological knowledge management system if they can retrieve knowledge for themselves from the same system. This study provides a relevant example of knowledge management and transfer processes and practises, as well as influences on internal knowledge exchange.

Texto completoResumen
Large scale companies have massive information flows in their administrative
departments. This often creates problems when there is a lack of communication both
internally and with internal partners such as sales units.
Sandvik SMT Market Service (SBMS) is no exception in this case. They got big
problems with their communication with the sales units especially when it concerns the
mail traffic and routing of information. Today SBMS have three regional mailboxes
where the SU’s (Sales Unit) send their mails depending on which region they belong to.
This structure does not function as intended and creates an overload which leads to long
response times.
Therefore the market service manager Jonas Hofvenstam wanted us to investigate this
problem area with the possibility of segmenting the mailboxes including a tagging system
and to perform a review of the sales tools portal in order to shorten the response times
and decrease the mail traffic.
The outcome of this paper was suggestions/proposals regarding how to structure the
common mailboxes, illustration of a tagging system for the mails and suggestions of how
to improve the sales tools portal. We also made recommendations on how to take these
suggestions into action including step by step instructions to make it easier when
performing an implementation.

Texto completoResumen
BACKGROUND: Choosing the right communication strategy is essential for organizations in today’s business. Nowadays, all organizations are facing operational changes; therefore, internal communication is significant for all businesses. Internal communication focuses on information and knowledge sharing activities within organizations, which are led by leaders that have the responsibility to distribute information and knowledge to employees in the organization and across departments PURPOSE: The purpose of the study is to investigate the relationship between internal communication and its components and how it affects team performance. METHOD: The research was a quantitative case study where 42 out of 70 employees at Specma Seals AB answered the questionnaire. The survey was sent out by email, using surveygizmo.com in April 2014. The response rate was 60%. A meeting with Specma Seals was arranged to conduct a deeper understanding of the company situation. CONCLUSION: The conclusion of this study is that two of the hypotheses were supported and one rejected meaning that leadership and information and knowledge sharing has a positive relationship with team performance meanwhile cross-functionality didn’t.

Texto completoResumen
Effective internal communication is an important factor for organizational success. Organizations need to evaluate and improve their internal communication especially in an increasingly difficult and competitive economic environment. In this regard, measurement instruments enable organizations to monitor communication effectiveness of internal communication systems (Ruck & Welch, 2012). The focus for this study will be the concept of internal communication within an organization. In order to establish and identify the purpose of the study a literature review was performed that examined the existing research within the field.The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors that influence the effectiveness of internal communication from the employee perception at the logistic department of Electrolux. Three research questions were then conducted in order to answer the purpose. The study has been conducted through a case study in the form of in-depth interviews. The study was carried out through 11 interviews with employees from the logistic department of Electrolux Laundry System AB in Ljungby. In the current business environment a formal way of strategically handle the communication that is practiced within an organization is needed in relation to higher competitive advantage. The study reveals that Electrolux logistic center is not practicing this in any higher degree in accordance to the theory of effective communication. No clear goal regarding communication or measuring communication was identified. In accordance to this practical managerial implication was concluded based on these findings. The presented research model done was suggested to be developed as a further research

Egger, Eva-Maria. "Causes and consequences of internal migration : evidence from Brazil and Ghana". Thesis, University of Sussex, 2018. http://sro.sussex.ac.uk/id/eprint/73739/.
Texto completoResumen
This thesis investigates socio-economic drivers and impacts of internal migration in two countries, Brazil and Ghana. The first empirical chapter analyses the choice of Brazilian workers to move out of metropolitan cities. This direction of movement is substantial in the Brazilian context and leading against standard models of rural-to-urban migration. I estimate the role of living costs and local amenities in the determination of the destination choice of metropolitan out-migrants. Furthermore, I quantify the returns to migrating out of a metropolis by computing counterfactual wages applying matching techniques. The metropolitan out-migrants prefer to move to smaller towns where their real wage gain is positive. They minimize the physical and social costs of migration by moving to closer towns within their state of birth. Living costs in big cities appear to be a main driver for workers to leave these, especially if they are low-skilled. In the second empirical chapter, I investigate the effect of internal migration on homicide rates in Brazil in the period from 2005 to 2010. I construct a retrospective panel of migration rates between municipalities and use local labour demand shocks in the manufacturing sector at the origins of migrants as instrument for immigration rates. An increase in immigration rates of 1% translates in an increase of 1.2% in crime rates at the local level. The effect is predominant in municipalities with historically higher homicide rates and there is no effect in locations with a large informal sector. While internal migration puts pressure on destination labour markets, these results suggest that it is the presence of a criminal or lack of a flexible sector that channel this pressure into negative outcomes. The third empirical chapter explores dynamic patterns of internal migration from rural areas in Ghana. With a new household panel survey collected in 2013 and again in 2015, I document that many households have multiple migrants moving at different points in time and for various reasons. Conditional on having had a migrant in the past, I estimate the effect of having a new migrant on the asset welfare of origin households. The findings suggest that due to prior migration experience and consequently lower migration costs for new migrants, there is no decline in welfare from having a new migrant.

Resumo: Este projeto originou-se quando a família de motores objeto deste estudo foi introduzida no mercado e já os primeiros lotes de motores produzidos apresentaram esta falha, vulgarmente conhecida como degola da camisa. Esta falha compreende a trinca e propagação por todo o perímetro da camisa de cilindro e consequentemente a descida da camisa para a parte inferior do bloco do motor. Durante a descida, a camisa choca-se com elementos girantes do motor e vem por sua vez colapsar por completo. Este trabalho tem como base a extrapolação dos limites especificados em projeto da camisa de cilindro do tipo seca. Veremos que mínimas variações dimensionais no projeto da camisa de cilindro podem ter consequências gravíssimas para o conjunto. Analisaremos um caso real onde a mínima variação no projeto foi fatal para o componente e suas conseqüências, catastróficas para o motor. Para a determinação da causa raiz e consequentemente a solução do problema, foi utilizada a metodologia ¿Six Sigma¿.
Abstract: This project has been started as a consequence of repeated failures reported by users of a family of diesel engines introduced in the Brazilian market. The reported imperfections were investigated and in all cases a failure of the engine sleeve could be observed as the main cause of the engines breakdown. Cracks propagations have been in the region of the flange of cylinder sleeves. As the cracks propagate at the inner region of the flanged of the sleeve, where high stresses can be anticipated, a rupture of the flange, separating this part from the sleeve, used to occur. This occurrence is vulgarly named as the "decapitation of the sleeve". As a consequence of this phenomenon, the sleeve descends to the lower part of the engine block crashing against the moving parts of the engine, causing a complete collapse of the internal parts of the engine. The present work reports all phases of the investigation which revealed the main cause of the failures. In order to accomplish this research, the "Six Sigma" method has been employed as a supporting methodology.

Over the past decades, governments have increasingly been confronted with problems that transcend their boundaries. A multitude of policy fields are affected, including environment, trade and security. Responding to the challenges triggered by Europeanization and globalization, governments increasingly interact across different spheres of authority. Both theoretically and empirically, the puzzle of institutional choice reflected by the variety of arrangements in which intergovernmental cooperation takes place inside individual countries and across their borders remains surprisingly under-explored. In an attempt to solve this puzzle, the dissertation tackles the following questions: Why are the intergovernmental arrangements governments set up to deal with boundary-crossing problems so different? To what extent do these institutional differences affect the effectiveness of intergovernmental cooperation? To address this gap theoretically and empirically, this book adopts a deductive, rationalist approach to institution-building. It argues that internal politics, the type of executive-legislative relations within the interacting governments, explains the nature of institutions set up to channel intergovernmental processes: while power-sharing governments engage in institution-building, power-concentrating governments avoid it. It also shows that these institutional choices matter for the output of intergovernmental cooperation. The approach is applied to Canada, Switzerland, the United States, and finally the European Union. Disaggregating individual government units, the theoretical approach reveals how intragovernmental micro-incentives drive macro-dynamics and thereby addresses the neglect of horizontal dynamics in multilevel systems. The willingness and capacity of lower-level governments to solve collective problems on their own and to oppose central encroachment are crucial to understand the power distribution in different systems and their long-term evolutions.

Al-Rashidi, Hajed. "The role of internal stakeholders and influencing factors during the phases of e-government initiative implementation". Thesis, Brunel University, 2013. http://bura.brunel.ac.uk/handle/2438/7265.
Texto completoResumen
Governments around the globe were actively implementing e-government initiatives in the past two decades. However, the majority of e-government initiatives fail in achieving their objectives before, during or after implementation. This study is addressing the problem, e-government initiatives are still more failure than success. Literature indicates differing models that analyse various stages, stakeholders and factors influencing e-government implementation in the public sector. Yet, these models do not explore in particular the important roles and responsibilities of internal stakeholders and influencing factors during different phases of the implementation cycle of the e-government initiative. There is a need for a framework that guides the e-government initiative implementation internally. To achieve the aim of this research, this study should empirically investigate "managing e-government initiative implementation." Consequently, this thesis results in research that contributes towards successful e-government initiative implementation based on empirical data derived from three case studies. The practical parts of the research are three case studies on e-government initiative implementation, which are analysed using an interpretive and qualitative research approach. Besides document analysis and observation, interview was the main method to collect empirical data for this study. For an accurate result, only managers and above level are selected and interviewed. The study examines the proposed framework in three government organizations in the State of Kuwait by using a qualitative, interpretive, multiple case study research strategy. As a result, this thesis is proposing a framework that can be used to enhance the implementation process of e-government initiative throughout the different phases of the implementation cycle, and contributes to the body of knowledge by extending the literature. The stakeholders, factors and implementation phases are mapped together to ease understanding the implementation process of e-government initiative implementation across the public organizations. The study concludes by identifying internal stakeholders, factors, and providing a holistic framework for e-government initiative implementation. The findings of this research are useful for internal stakeholders in the field, as it enables them to gain a better understanding of their own roles and responsibilities. Moreover, researchers in similar fields may find this work useful as a way to approach the study of e-government initiative implementation.

Background: Around the world, markets deregulates, which leads to increased competition. Meetings between the consumer and the employees of a company determine how the customer perceives the company and / or its brand. This has result in that many companies have realized the importance of internal using the same marketing skills that are used externally. In 2009, pharmacy market went from being a monopoly market to be a regulated competitive market.
Problem: Is there any internal conditions for a private company, whose culture and structure was formed under a state monopoly, to create a strong corporate brand?
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to, through a case study, analyze and evaluate the internal marketing in a company which has undergone a change of ownership and retained the same staff.
Method: Through interviews with key personnel and staff , data was gathered for the case study, which means that the method is qualitative. Only one of the company's pharmacies has been included in the study.
Conclusions: The authors of this paper perceive that company has the required internal conditions to create a strong corporate brand, since the company i.e. has taken into consideration the history of the pharmacy staff, the management shows a personal commitment, campaigns are communicated internally, staff and customers consciously or unconsciously may be involved in shaping the content of the corporate brand, and that dialogue exists between staff and management so that management can have an understanding of how staff perceive the company's vision and corporate brand, which in turn leads the company to form a brand that staff can accept and understand because their norms and values has been taken into consideration.

This study addresses the importance of cost accounting and performance evaluation for organizations. Further, this study explains the purposes of cost accounting and performance evaluation. The chosen method is a single case study which investigates how product costing is made within a food manufacturing company, called Omega in this study. Interviews have been an important tool for collecting data; data used to create a snapshot of Omega’s current operations. Cost concepts, cost allocation methods, and performance evaluation theories are presented and later compared with the snapshot of Omega. Dissatisfaction concerning product costing in Omega was first expressed by a business unit manager. Search revealed that the issue concerning product costing was not a problem per se; instead it was a symptom of a more fundamental issue. The more fundamental issue is Omega’s cost accounting and financial performance evaluation used throughout the organization. Omega evaluates its business units using financial operating results measures based on information from its cost accounting system. Uncertainty within Omega has been observed concerning a performance measure called operational result. Search has revealed that the business units within Omega do not have the ability to control costs upon which they are evaluated, and further that all costs are not relevant for business unit performance evaluation. Three cost categories for cost accounting have been constructed with the purpose of serving as a base for financial performance evaluation. Treating costs differently based upon their characteristics enables organizations to form a well-functioning financial performance evaluation system which can lead the organization in the right direction. Ultimately, a well-functioning financial performance evaluation system enhances motivation and commitment in business units as well as it gives the top management a correct performance indicator.

Texto completoResumen
The crisis of unity in multiethnic societies may be indicative of strained relations among various ethnic groups. Economic competition by a minority arouses resentment and envy in the dominant group. When the political development lags behind social and economic development, ethnicity is introduced into politics. If the system fails to resolve issues through institutional arrangements violence may become a mode of communication among these groups and the minority may attempt to secede.
The case of India provides an excellent example of particularistic associations. The Sikhs have played a significant role in the division of the subcontinent and the development of the economy, Tensions have resulted in violence and counter-violence by both minority and majority groups. India has failed to introduce institutional changes to fulfill the promises made by the secular constitution. The Hindu dominance and discrimination in case of Sikhs can not be denied. While the issues still remain, India faces the risk of secessionist movements not only by Sikhs but also by other regions where minorities feel having been discriminated.

The introduction of the Internet and computers into the work environment have changed the news industry. New models of revenues for spreading the news, and the reachability and accessibility of the news has grown tremendously. These implications have influenced the way media company’s employees have to work, from multi-skilling to communicating with each other efficiently. This research seeks to investigate the current state of the internal communication flow in a Swedish media company called Hallpressen AB and to find opportunities for improving the internal communication flow inside the company. In order to fully understand the existing situation in the company, the authors observed nine of the company’s departments, held 14 interviews with managers and executive committee members, and conducted two focus groups. Based on the data collection, the authors created a communication channel model of the existing communication inside the media company, and performed a qualitative content analysis to summarize the findings from the observations and interviews. The focus groups were performed in order to examine an existing communication tool called “Slack”, and to understand the general perception that the company’s employees held of it. From the findings, the authors suggested possible improvements for the company’s internal communication flows. First, what could be improved in the management of communication inside the company, such as opening of a communication department or hiring an internal communicator. Second, what could be improved in already existing communication channels, such as creation of special part on the intranet for every department and etc.

Texto completoResumen
Internal ideation refers to getting the employees of a company to generate ideas for improvements and business development. Innovative companies have been working to capture their employees' creativity when it comes to innovation. In many cases, a company that is considered innovative depends on the employee's drive to continually improve and expand the company's offering. How to succeed in motivating and engaging employees at the company to create internal ideation proves to be difficult to tell. At the same time, what factors influence internal ideation and are their inter-relationships between the factors and their influence on the ideation. This study aims to answer these questions. This study consists of both qualitative and quantitative studies. A review of previous literature and six external interviews were conducted to identify the factors that influence internal ideation. The external interviews targeted companies that design idea management systems and companies that work with them. A case study was conducted at Bengt Dahlgren to understand how the various factors influence to ideation performance. The case study was performed through interviews and a survey. This study resulted in a framework describing factors influencing internal idea generation and their inter-relationships. The most important factors for internal idea generation were: Clear Vision, Resources, Responsibility, Access to Information, Communication, Interaction Arena, Culture, and Motivation. A regression analysis revealed the inter-relationships between these factors and their impact on various innovation performances. The investigation included three variables for innovation performance, the company's culture, the employees' ideation effort, and the quantity of ideas submitted. In this study, a recommendation was made for Bengt Dahlgren to utilize the factors to increase their internal idea generation.Intern idégenerering innebär att få de anställda på ett företag att generera idéer för förbättringar och företagsutveckling. I åratal har innovativa företag arbetat med att fånga sina anställdas kreativitet när det kommer till innovation. Om ett företag anses innovativt kan det i många fall bero på det anställdas driv att ständigt förbättra och utöka företagets erbjudande. Att lyckas motivera och engagera de anställda på företaget för att förverkliga en intern idégenerering visar sig vara en svår fråga att besvara. Samtidigt vilka faktorer påverkar intern idégenerering samt vad är relationen mellan dessa faktorer och deras påverkan på idégenereringen. I detta examensarbete kommer dessa frågor att besvaras. Denna studie har utgjorts av både kvalitativ och kvantitativa studier. För att identifiera de faktorer som påverkar idégenereringen gjordes en recension av tidigare litteratur och sex externa intervjuer. Intervjuerna riktade sig mot företag som designar innovations plattformar samt företag som arbetar med dem. För att förstå hur de olika faktorerna är relaterade genomfördes en fallstudie vid Bengt Dahlgren. Fallstudien genomfördes genom intervjuer och en enkätundersökning. Denna studie resulterade i ett ramverk som beskrev faktorer som påverkade den interna idégenerationen och deras interrelationer. De viktigaste faktorerna för intern idégenerering var: Tydlig Vision, Resurser, Ansvarsroller, Tillgång till Information, Kommunikation, Interaktionsarena, Motivation och Kultur En regressionsanalys visade samband mellan dessa faktorer och deras påverkan på olika variabler som påverkar ett företag innovation förmåga. Undersökningen inkluderade tre variabler för innovation förmågan: företagets kultur, de anställdas ansträngning för att komma med idéer och antalet inlämnade idéer per person. Denna studie utvecklade också en rekommendation för Bengt Dahlgren hur dem ska använda faktorerna för att öka deras interna idégenerering.

The purpose of this paper is to get a deeper understanding of brand pride as a phenomenon and acompany’s influence on employees’ brand pride through their internal corporate communicationsprocesses. In order to do this, both primary and secondary data were collected and analyzed using a qualitative case study approach. A case company was chosen based on a previous internal surveythat showed that the company’s employees exhibited brand pride. Semi-structured interviews were conducted and documents from the case company were collected in order to analyze according to the analytical model that was developed out of the theory. It was concluded that internal corporate communications processes can contribute towards brand pride in three ways: through clear and explicit communication, repetitive communication, and in matching internal and external communications. It was also found that employees identify with the corporate identity, and thus experience brand pride, differently, contributing towards two types of brand pride: collective and personal brand pride.

Multi-state models are often used to evaluate the effect of death as a competing event to the development of dementia in a longitudinal study of the cognitive status of elderly subjects. In this dissertation, both multi-state Markov model and semi-Markov model are used to characterize the flow of subjects from intact cognition to dementia with mild cognitive impairment and global impairment as intervening transient, cognitive states and death as a competing risk.
Firstly, a multi-state Markov model with three transient states: intact cognition, mild cognitive impairment (M.C.I.) and global impairment (G.I.) and one absorbing state: dementia is used to model the cognitive panel data. A Weibull model and a Cox proportional hazards (Cox PH) model are used to fit the time to death based on age at entry and the APOE4 status. A shared random effect correlates this survival time with the transition model.
Secondly, we further apply a Semi-Markov process in which we assume that the wait- ing times are Weibull distributed except for transitions from the baseline state, which are exponentially distributed and we assume no additional changes in cognition occur between two assessments. We implement a quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) method to calculate the higher order integration needed for the likelihood based estimation.
At the end of this dissertation we extend a non-parametric “local EM algorithm” to obtain a smooth estimator of the cause-specific hazard function (CSH) in the presence of competing risk.
All the proposed methods are justified by simulation studies and applications to the Nun Study data, a longitudinal study of late life cognition in a cohort of 461 subjects.

The budget is used in many organizations to estimate and control costs. The budgeting process requires extensive knowledge and information exchange between the budget setters in the organization. It is therefore critical for budget setters, often finance and line managers, to communicate and exchange knowledge to reach a budget for the upcoming period. The aim of this thesis is to highlight both budgeting and internal communication findings from past research, and develop a model for how internal communication is affected by different factors during the budgeting process. Specifically, we develop an unprecedented model based on previous research and test it through qualitative semi-structured interviews. We then improve and develop the model to provide a theoretical framework for future research on factors affecting internal communication during the budgeting process. Our empirical study of communication between line managers and finance managers in GE Healthcare in their budgeting process indicates that the factors are intertwined, and that the various factors can affect internal communication during the budgeting process directly and indirectly. The factors we find to directly affect internal communication are geographical distance, interpersonal relationship, communication method, organizational distance and characteristics of the budgeting process. The indirect factors are characteristics of the participant and time constraint. The study also finds a series of interconnected relationships of both the direct and indirect factors with each other.

Texto completoResumen
The research is based on a case study of an internal newsletter, Platform. The objective was to obtain more information about Transnet Freight Rail employees‘ thoughts on its effectiveness and the effectiveness of internal newsletters by using Platform as an example. The treatise explored the perceptions of employees and Transnet in terms of the effectiveness of the internal newsletter as a communication tool as well as their attitudes towards the newsletter as an information disseminating medium. A mixed methods approach was used for analysis in this study. The first methodological paradigm took an interpretivist approach, focusing primarily on analysing the content of the newsletter. The second methodological design was based on the positivistic theory approach and utilised a survey by questionnaire. One hundred and twenty (120) questionnaires were issued to Transnet Freight Rail employees representing the three regions: Central Region, Eastern Region & Western Region and the Head Office of which 120 (100 percent) were received back by the deadline. Of these respondents 56 (46,66 percent) said that they find Platform very relevant as an internal newsletter. A further finding was that 68,33 percent of the respondents said Platform should stay as it is. About 58,33 percent of the respondents took 30 minutes to an hour to read the newsletter with ratings of 72,5 percent interested in communication from management, 65 percent in financial performance, 60 percent in news about people and 59,16 percent in departmental information. The main types of information required are about updates on business performance and safety news. The content of six editions of the newsletter was analysed. The newsletter editions used were from the latest one published counting backwards. The content of the newsletter varies in each edition and depends on the theme. There are similar themes that come up with every edition such as safety. The style of writing used is simple to ensure maximum understanding.

The interest for corporate social responsibility increases with the time and more companies conducts it for every year. The VINCI group is no different and has from 2002 had a Foundation, initially developed in France. However, over the years it has expanded into multiple countries throughout Europe and has now initiated a development of the VINCI UK Foundation with the purpose of fighting social exclusion and isolation. The decentralized company structure and the involvement of multiple subsidiaries demand a high quality of the internal communication regarding the project. That is also what this study will be investigating, how the internal communication of the VINCI UK Foundation was conducted. This research was conducted via a case study, with the author employed at VINCI Energies UK and RoI, working first hand with the subject whilst also conducting interviews with the people involved. Multiple perspectives of both corporate social responsibility and internal communication will be discussed and how the initiation was communicated to the employees within the subsidiaries. It is important for organizations to include the real reasons as to why it was initiated, not only providing the reason of being responsible as a company. Since this will develop a skepticism in the minds of the internal stakeholders affecting the trust towards the project, or even towards the organization. The different interpretation of what corporate social responsibility is, alongside with how the subsidiaries conduct their internal communication on a daily basis, resulted in that the information regarding the VINCI UK Foundation was communicated differently. For the years to come it could be important for the subsidiaries involved to meet prior to communicating the information in order to determine a code of conduct. This is important to develop a united front.

Branding is a widely researched and discussed area, but the focus tends to be aimed towards business-to-consumer (B2C) companies rather than business-to-business settings (B2B). Brands per se used to be seen as the visuals belonging to an organization, but there has been a shift in meanings and it now includes perceptions and recognition of a brand - both internally and externally. Internal branding refers to company efforts to influence their employees to live the brand, which is explained as the organizational and managerial efforts to infuse enthusiasm into the employees in order for them to perform their best and to feel connected to the brand and the corporate values. This study focuses on internal branding, more specifically the managerial efforts taken to influence employees. In order to fulfill the purpose, we conducted a multi-case study with eight in-depth semi-structured interviews with two companies. The results show that if an organization and managers have the possibility to connect corporate brand identity and brand values with internal activities, the employees are more likely to show brand commitment, which in turn leads them into living the brand. However, incorporating such activities can be difficult due to various reasons, such as financial limitations, but it was found that managers who are involved and continuously engaging with their employees have a higher probability of making employees live the brand, than the managers who do not have an ongoing dialogue with staff members. Furthermore, it was apparent that internal communication should be a cornerstone of every business’ daily operations as it is a useful internal branding tool, seeing that it can have an impact on the way employees are understanding the brand.

Texto completoResumen
This mini dissertation considers the internal division of the Pedi in Sekhukhuneland, which culminated in the 1958 Sekhukhune Peasant Revolt. The dissertation reveals that the fall of the Pedi kingdom in 1878, land dispossession and the implementation of the apartheid policy polarised Pedi society to a point of conflict. Though the period of study is wide in scope, this research investigates those factors which caused internal division amongst the Pedi to a point of conflict. The central focus is only those aspects that divided the Pedi . In the early years after the fall of the Pedi Kingdom the role of the native commissioners based in Sekhukhuneland, appeared to have eroded the legitimacy of Maroteng hegemony . Systems of Pedi local political expression were much affected by the immense powers of the native commissioners. The division of the Pedi kingdom and the appointment of chiefs were early signs of discontent against the authority of the native commissioners. Sekhukhuneland began to suffer from political division created by the shift in the local power base. The undermining of Maroteng hegemony by the native commissioners created a feeling of antagonism towards government policy which was contrary to the Pedi traditional practices or beliefs. That is why explicit aspects of land reforms and cattle culling in the 1930s and 1940s were vehemently opposed and hatred levelled against those who accepted the government programmes. Internal division of the Pedi nation was possible because of the heterogenous composition of society. The Pedi society is made up of loosely fragmented ethnic groups such as the Bakgatla, Batau, Bakoni, Baroka, Baphuti and Amandebele. The unity of these ethnic groups previously relied on the strength of the Maroteng ethnic group. With the collapse of the Pedi kingdom, the power of Maroteng was curtailed, resulting in individual ethnic groups gradually becoming autonomous from Maroteng authority. They were influenced by the National Party government policy of separate development. However, the study also investigates the social and political plight of these minor ethnic groups. Access to land by minor ethnic groups was an impediment towards Pedi unity and caused internal division. There was also internal division caused by the forces of modernisation and traditional practices. The impact of Christianity and the emergence of the local elite such as teachers, clerks and policemen added another dimension of polarisation. The study also examines why the institution of the Bantu Authorities Act of 1951 resulted in conflict. The government deportation of chief Morwamoche Sekhukhune to Cala in the Transkei in 1958/03/21 and the arrest of chief Phasoane Nkadimeng in 1958/05/16 resulted in open conflict between government supporters dubbed “Marenjara” and resisters called the “Makhuduthamaga”. Government action was viewed as the final onslaught of what was once regarded as the Pedi pride. The study will also look at why the arrest of chief Phasoane Nkadimeng had such political impact to set Sekhukhuneland on fire. Attention is also paid to the involvement of the migrant workers who played a pivotal and crucial role in the period preceding the uprising. It was in that uprising that the Pedi migrant workers put to test the revolutionary theories acquired through membership of the African National Congress (ANC) and South African Communist Party (SACP). The core leaders of the Pedi migrant workers’ organisation, Fetakgomo, were also active members of both the ANC and the SACP. The character of the 1958 uprising is explained by the internal division of the Pedi which had its roots in the fall of the Pedi kingdom in 1880.Professor G. Verhoef

The present report evolved as a result of the opportunity of a curricular internship that took place in the Internal Audit department of Mota-Engil SGPS, from September 2, 2019, to February 28, 2020. The purpose of the current study is to analyse the effectiveness of the internal audit function of Mota-Engil SGPS. In particular, this study focuses on four main determinants: positioning, planning, resources and processes. This study also sought to, based on the best practices described in the literature and the activity on both Portuguese and European construction organizations, to present some suggestions that may improve the effectiveness of the internal audit department. A case study approach was adopted to investigate the Internal Audit department of Mota-Engil SGPS. The data was collected through a participant observation and documentation analysis. Also, this study incorporates a survey to the Portuguese organizations listed on the PSI-20 and the European construction organizations listed on the ENR Top 250 Global Contractors of 2019, to understand the internal audit practices among the main peers of Mota-Engil and strengthened the recommendations provided. During the internship I not only recognized a misalignment between the formal standards adopted by the department and the actual practices, but also identified some areas with opportunities for improvement. Therefore, based on the best practices described in the literature and the answers from the benchmark survey performed to the to the main peers of the Group Mota-Engil, I suggest an optimization of the risk-based internal audit plan, the definition of a goal for the auditable universe of the Group, an investment in IT skills, the integration data analytics across the entire audit process and the implementation of all the components of the QA&IP. I believe these recommendations will increase the effectiveness of internal audit department of Mota-Engil SGPS and enhance the value added to the Group.O presente estudo foi realizado no âmbito do estágio curricular realizado no departamento de auditoria interna da Mota-Engil SGPS, no período de 2 de setembro de 2019 a 28 de fevereiro de 2020. Este estudo visa analisar a eficácia da função de auditoria interna da Mota- Engil SGPS. Em particular, este estudo foca-se em 4 determinantes importantes: posição, planeamento, recursos e processos. O objetivo deste estudo passa ainda por, tendo por base as melhores praticas descritas em literatura e a atividade em empresas portuguesas e empresas de construção europeias, apresentar um conjunto de sugestões de forma a melhorar a eficácia do departamento de auditoria interna. O departamento de auditoria interna da Mota-Engil foi utilizado como estudo de caso nesta investigação. Os dados foram recolhidos por meio de observação participante e análise documental. Adicionalmente, foi realizado também um questionário às empresas que integram o índice PSI-20 e às empresas de construção presentes no ranking “ENR Top 250 Global Contractors” de 2019, de forma a percecionar como é que a atividade se desenvolve nos principais pares da Mota-Engil e reforçar as recomendações realizadas. Durante este estágio curricular eu observei um desalinhamento entre algumas das Normas adotadas e a prática. Portanto, tendo por base as melhores práticas descritas em literatura e os resultados dos questionários elaborados aos pares da Mota-Engil, eu sugiro uma otimização do plano anual de auditoria interna, definir um prazo para auditar as todas as empresas do Grupo, investir em competências tecnológicas, integrar ferramentas de análise de dados em todas as fases do processo de auditoria e implementar todos os componentes referentes ao Programa de Avaliação de Qualidade e Melhoria. Eu acredito que estas recomendações aumentarão a eficácia do departamento de auditoria interna da Mota-Engil SGPS, o que por conseguinte, acrescentará mais valor ao Grupo.

"Restrictive Discourse: Manufacturing Reactionary Solutions to Internal Causes". Master's thesis, 2010. http://hdl.handle.net/2286/R.I.8740.
Texto completoResumen
abstract: ABSTRACT This thesis analyzes the discourse surrounding proposed solutions to the immigration phenomenon in the United States. I conducted two qualitative media analyses on the rhetoric and conceptual frames found in mass media newscasts reporting on the immigration debate. The first analysis covered the general immigration debate and the second covered the appearance of American southwest ranchers. Specifically the analyses contrasted the media's coverage of root economic causes to the immigration phenomenon in comparison to reactionary solutions as proposed by leading immigrant attrition organizations such as the immigration think tank, Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) and Republican linguist, Frank Luntz. The main argument of this thesis is based on an analysis of how the media has used southwestern ranchers as expert witnesses for reactionary solutions on a national level. An acute qualitative media analysis was used to compare the rhetoric found in the media coverage of southwestern ranchers versus the rhetoric found in 12 in-depth interviews I conducted with ranchers in the American southwest. This thesis contends that the media has successfully turned southwestern ranchers into spokespersons for border security rhetoric, furthering the binary debates on border security and immigration reform and thus obscuring the conditions which force migrants to leave their home countries. The grounding theoretical framework for this thesis is based on David Altheide's qualitative media analysis which identifies how certain frames and common narratives ultimately construct a way of discussing the problem or the kind of discourse that will follow. This was structured on Atheide's qualitative media analysis protocols to dissect mass media newscasts covering the immigration debate and more specifically the mass media's coverage of southwestern ranchers. The qualitative media analyses were employed to determine whether the discourse found in nightly newscasts falls in line with root causes of immigration or FAIR's concern with reactionary solutions. To further assess the media's ability to shape discourse, and ultimately policy, these qualitative analyses were compared with in-depth interviews of the ranchers.Dissertation/Thesis
