Este estudo tem como objetivo descrever como ocorreu a trajetória da modalidade hóquei sobre a grama e indoor no estado do Rio Grande do Sul com base nas ações realizadas no primeiro mandato da Federação de Hóquei sobre a Grama e Indoor do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul (FHERS) entre os anos 2010 e 2014. Esta pesquisa histórico-documental foi feita por meio de revisão bibliográfica e pela análise de documentos e de fontes orais. Foram realizadas seis entrevistas com fundadores e dirigentes do primeiro e segundo mandatos da FHERS. As fontes revelaram que a trajetória da modalidade no estado está vinculada a clubes, escolas, projetos sociais e universidades. Estas instituições foram o alicerce para o desenvolvimento de cursos, oficinas, workshops, vivências e para a realização de atividades permanentes, tais como a prática nas aulas de educação física e em projetos de extensão (escolar e universitário), a criação da disciplina eletiva da modalidade na Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) e a realização de festivais e campeonatos da modalidade. Em razão de o Brasil sediar os Jogos Pan-Americanos e os Jogos Olímpicos, a FHERS encontrou um ambiente propício para a implantação desse esporte no território sul-rio-grandense, visto que estavam disponíveis recursos financeiros tanto da esfera nacional quanto estadual, além da visibilidade dada ao esporte devido a esses megaeventos. / The study describes how the historical trajectory of the sport Field Hockey and Indoor Hockey occurred in the state of Rio Grande do Sul through the actions accomplished in the first mandate of the Rio Grande do Sul State Field Hockey and Indoor Hockey Federation (FHERS) between 2010 and 2014.

For my thesis I have chosen a topical issue: A comparison of enterprise conditions in the CR and RF, because I have noticed growing cooperation between the Czech Republic and Russian Federation in recent years. The aim of this study is the evaluation and comparison of enterprise conditions for Czech businessmen who would like to enter the Russian market. In my thesis I analyze affecting the Czech businessmen expanding into Russia: Characteristics of the Russian market, trade and economic cooperation, forms of support for Czech businessmen, form of expansion into foreign markets and comparison of legal forms of business. The crucial section of my study is a research among Czech businessman who operate in the Czech and Russian market at the same time, therefore they can objectively compare the conditions in both markets. I came to the conclusion that entering into the Russian market is a lengthy and difficult process. However, after overcoming the initial barriers, a huge market with great potential and many possibilities for further progress is opened for the Czech businessmen.

A presente dissertação tem por objetivo analisar as normas que disciplinam as transferências intergovernamentais no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro implantado com o advento da Constituição Federal de 1988, mostrando a sua importância como instrumento tendente a assegurar a autonomia dos entes federativos. O trabalho tem início com o estudo do Estado Federal e suas principais características, do estudo do Federalismo Fiscal, assim como a definição, principais características, objetivos e justificativas das transferências intergovernamentais no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro. Em seguida, haverá a demonstração e a sistematização de algumas das transferências intergovernamentais no federalismo fiscal implantado pela Constituição Federal de 1988, verificando as formas de distribuição de receita entre os entes federativos, de modo a possibilitar o alcance da efetiva autonomia financeira de cada um. Por fim, os principais pressupostos teóricos decorrentes da análise do texto positivo serão aplicados na prática, com o breve exame de alguns casos controvertidos na doutrina e na jurisprudência. / This masters´ thesis has the purpose of analyzing the provisions which rule the intergovernmental transfers in the Brazilian legal order implemented with the establishment of the Federal Constitution of 1988, showing its importance as instrument to ensure the independence of the federal units. The work started with the study of the Federal State and its main characteristics, the study of the Fiscal Federalism, as well as the definition, main characteristics, goals and justifications of the intergovernmental transfers in the Brazilian legal order. Then, there comes the demonstration and systematization of some intergovernmental transfers in the fiscal federalism implemented by the Federal Constitution of 1988, checking the income distribution of forms between the federative units, in order to allow each one to achieve its effective financial independence. Finally, the main theoretical assumptions resulting from the analysis of the positive text will apply in practice, with the brief examination of some controversial cases in the doctrine and in the jurisprudence.

Este trabalho se propõe a traçar o cenário em que se desdobraram os acontecimentos que instigaram o gênio de Montesquieu a buscar um padrão cientifico para os fenômenos sociais e políticos que tão argutamente observava. Combinando as nuances doutrinárias de Montesquieu, pretende o estudo abordar as premissas conceituais básicas de federação e a ideia clássica da separação de poderes para, em seguida, examinar as atribuições da chefia de Estado numa república que adote o modelo federativo e a separação de poderes como seus nortes estruturais, no contexto de um sistema presidencialista de governo. Com base nas premissas deduzidas examina-se o alinhamento do modelo brasileiro àquelas premissas institucionais que o inspiraram. / The purpose of this research is to depict the events that unfolded within the scenario that provoked Montesquieu to search for a scientific pattern in order to explain the social and political phenomena that he carefully observed in his time. Drawing on the variations of Montesquieu’s doctrines, The work aims to explore the basic conceptual argument of federation as well as the classic idea of separation of powers. Thereafter, It intends to examine the roles of state leadership in a republic whose foundation lies upon the federative model and the separation of powers in a presidentialist system of government. Based on this, the study is going to consider the alignment of the Brazilian model to those institutional propositions that initially provoked Montesquieu’s mind.

L’insertion par l’activité économique (IAE) regroupe des associations et des entreprises quimettent au travail des chômeurs « en difficulté » afin de faciliter leur accès ultérieur à l’emploi.Cette thèse se penche sur l’action des fédérations de structures d’insertion. Positionnées àl’interface entre les responsables politiques et administratifs et les professionnels des structuresd’insertion, ces fédérations tentent de réguler les tensions et les controverses au sein de l’espacede l’IAE. À partir d’une enquête ethnographique reposant sur des observations participantes etdes entretiens avec des acteurs de l‘IAE, cette recherche met d’abord l’accent sur les stratégiesd’alliance et d’opposition entre fédérations. La thèse interroge ensuite la participation de cesdernières aux réformes de l’IAE. Si les fédérations se présentent comme les représentantes desintérêts des acteurs de l’IAE, elles se posent également en relais des injonctions de l’État enmatière de « performance » et de « bonne gestion ». Enfin, la recherche montre l’avènementd’une nouvelle génération d’experts de l’insertion, aux trajectoires sociales et aux aspirationsindividuelles ajustées aux attentes de ces fédérations. À la croisée d’une sociologie du travailassociatif et des politiques d’insertion et d’emploi, cette thèse entend apporter un éclairage à laquestion des transformations des politiques sociales mises en oeuvre par les associations. / Integration via economic activity (IEA) gathers different structures (associations andcompanies) that set to work unemployed in difficulty so that they may have a subsequent accessto employment. This thesis studies the action of federations of agencies for integration.Positioned at the interface between political and administrative officials and experts ofstructures for integration, these federations try to regulate tension and controverses within theIAE area. From an ethnographic survey based on participant observations and interviews withstakeholders of the IAE, this research first emphasizes strategic alliances and resistancebetween federations. The thesis then questions the involvment of the federations in the reformsof the IAE. If they claim to represent the interests of the IAE stakeholders, they also set themselves as representatives of government demands as far as «performance» and «goodmanagement» are concerned. Finally, this research shows the arrival of a new generation ofexperts in job integration, whose social trajectories and individual ambitions are ajusted to theneeds and expectations of these federations. This thesis is at the crossroads of a communitywork sociology and of policies in the field of employment and integration, and it also intendsto shed light on the problem of the social policies transformations implemented by theassociations.

The violent conflicts in the Northwest and Southwest provinces of Cameroon (Southern Cameroons) have obtained national and international attention. The government of Cameroon and armed separatists (Southern Cameroonians) have been called upon to address the root cause of the conflicts and reach a lasting peaceful settlement. This qualitative study is aimed at providing policy alternatives for the current conflict. The primary research question seeks to establish how the 1972 abolition of the federal system may have provided the impetus for the current conflicts. A second question addresses the options for resolving the conflict and the prospects of resolution. Data was collected from a focus group of 20 participants and from secondary data. Data analysis was completed using Jagar's critical discourse analysis. According to the findings of the study, the root cause of the current conflicts and the associated political, social, and economic issues can be attributed to the abolition of the federal system of governance. Policy alternatives to resolving the conflicts may require international mediation, an all-inclusive dialogue/negotiation without preconditions, the unconditional release of all in detention, a general and total ceasefire, and a general amnesty and resettlement program. This study may provide an understanding of the root cause of the conflicts and policy alternatives that will help restore peace, save lives, stabilize the region, and return dignity to the lives of the citizens.

For many years, considerable time and effort was devoted by teachers in Australian schools to the organisation of sporting activities for students. As a result, School Sports Associations were formed in most Australian States early this century. These Associations provided intra state and inter state competition on a limited scale. It was not until the early 1970's that any co-ordinated effort was made to bring together all the States' and Territories' activities. Regular meetings of Association Secretaries led to the formation of the Australian State Secondary Schools Sports Council in 1973. This was the beginning of a new era in secondary school representative sport in Australia. The creation of a forum for States to discuss matters of mutual interest resulted in a greater awareness within school communities of the benefits provided by sporting activities. This generation of interest eventually led to the formation of the Australian Secondary Schools Sports Federation in 1977. This body, representing all States and Territories became identified as the controlling body of secondary school sport in Australia and has continued to develop this role over the years. Since the formation of the Australian Secondary Schools Sports Federation, there has been significant growth in representative sporting activities, greater liaison and improved relations with community groups and systematic generation of relevant policies aimed at the betterment of school sport. After several years of operation, the role of the Federation was supplemented by the establishment of the Australian Schools Sports Council. This body represents both Primary School and Secondary School Sports Associations throughout Australia. After considerable effort, the Council was successful in obtaining Commonwealth Government funding for the employment of a National Executive Director to work full-time on the promotion of school sport. The years 1977-1983 saw dramatic growth in school sporting activities in Australia. Many problems were encountered some of which were ultimately solved. Other problems continue to occupy those who work within the organisation and their solution would appear to be the main task for the future.

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) / After the turmoil of the 1890s shearing contractors eliminated some of the frustration from shearers recruitment. At the same time closer settlement concentrated more sheep in small flocks in farming regions, replacing the huge leasehold pastoral empires which were at the cutting edge of wool expansion in the nineteenth century. Meanwhile the AWU succeeded in getting an award for the pastoral industry under the new arbitration legislation in 1907. Cultural and administrative influences, therefore, eased some of the bitter enmity which had made the annual shearing so unstable. Not all was plain sailing. A pattern of militancy re-emerged during World War I. Shearing shed unrest persisted throughout the interwar period and during World War II. In the 1930s a rival union with communist connections, the PWIU, was a major disruptive influence. Militancy was a factor in a major shearing strike in 1956, when the boom conditions of the early-1950s were beginning to fade. The economic system did not have satisfactory mechanisms to cope. Unionised shearers continued to be locked in a psyche of confrontation as wool profits eroded further in the 1970s. This ultimately led to the wide comb dispute, which occurred as wider pressures changed an economic order which had not been seriously challenged since Federation, and which the AWU had been instrumental in shaping. Shearing was always identified with bushworker ‘mateship’, but its larrikinism and irreverence to authority also fostered individualism, and an aggressive ‘moneymaking’ competitive culture. Early in the century, when old blade shearers resented the aggressive pursuit of tallies by fast men engaged by shearing contractors, tensions boiled over. While militants in the 1930s steered money-makers into collectivist versions of mateship, in the farming regions the culture of self-improvement drew others towards the shearing competitions taking root around agricultural show days. Others formed their own contracting firms and had no interest in confrontation with graziers. Late in the century New Zealanders arrived with combs an inch wider than those that had been standard for 70 years. It was the catalyst for the assertion of meritocracy over democracy, which had ruled since Federation.
