A model for the development of women in construction in the Limpopo Province of South Africa

Jonas, Sminny Nozimangaliso Minah 18 September 2017 (has links)
PhDRDV / Instutute for Rural Development / The overall purpose of this study was to describe a model for the development of women in construction in the Limpopo Province of South Africa. To achieve this purpose two phases were used i.e., the two stage empirical phase that employed a mixed method research process to identify and understand the development needs of women in construction and a theory-generation phase, which consisted of 8 stages that interfaced with phase 1 The population of the study were stakeholders in the construction industry namely, women contractors who are active grade 2 (registered as such on the CIDB register of contractors) and owner-managers in the Limpopo Province of South Africa, representative of the board of the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB), Construction Education and Training Authority (CETA), the Independent Development Trust (IDT), the Council for the Built Environment (CBE) and the South African Women in Construction (SAWIC). Qualitative data was collected through in-depth one-on-one interviews, whilst quantitative data was gathered through administering questionnaires. Six (6) stakeholders participated in the interviews and out of the targeted 167 in the CIDB register, 120 completed the questionnaires. The results of the empirical phase were subjected to the 8-step method of theory generation according to Chinn and Kramer (2011:152- 205). A conceptual framework for the model for development of rural women in construction was organized by applying the proposed elements of a practice theory according to Dickhoff, James & Wiedenbach (1968) and Barnum (1994). The theoretical evaluation of a model was done utilizing Chinn and Kramer (2011:205) criteria for evaluation of a theory. Guidelines to operationalize the theory were also described as well as recommendations and conclusion.

A exemplo da Europa e dos Estados Unidos, sob as pressões demográficas ocorridas após a Segunda Guerra Mundial e como imperativo de desenvolvimento econômico, inúmeros campi brasileiros foram implantados. Porém, já em 1975, os Anais do I Seminário Nacional sobre Planejamento de Campi Universitários retratavam inadequações dos novos campi das universidades federais que as incapacitavam de atender às demandas da Reforma Universitária de 1968. Sucessivos acordos de empréstimo foram assinados com o Banco Interamericano de Desenvolvimento para a reestruturação física desses espaços. O último deles, o Programa MEC/BID III, firmado nos anos 1980, destinou 105 milhões de dólares a nove universidades federais, visando expansões, preenchimento de lacunas e solução de deficiências físicas remanescentes da implantação desses campi nas décadas de 1960 e 1970. Como objetivo geral, este trabalho aborda um tema da maior importância para o planejamento físico do espaço universitário: a consolidação do campus como tendência internacional mesmo em países como a França, onde, até os anos 1950, ele não era sequer uma realidade a ser copiada, e o Brasil, onde até os anos 1960 predominavam faculdades isoladas. Como objetivo específico destaca-se a investigação dos aspectos históricos e arquitetônicos relacionados aos campi federais brasileiros na década de 1980, na esteira das ações de reestruturação e expansão física das universidades, no âmbito do Programa MEC/BID III, coordenado pelo Centro de Desenvolvimento e Apoio Técnico à Educação (CEDATE). A metodologia utilizada se relaciona com o campo dos estudos historiográficos na Arquitetura e no Urbanismo. A busca das fontes secundárias conduziu a pesquisa à Biblioteca da FAU/USP, onde foram coletados 42 artigos nacionais oferecidos pelo Índice de Arquitetura Brasileira e 90 títulos de artigos internacionais dos mais tradicionais periódicos. Conduziu também à UFF, onde foi coletada literatura específica sobre campus universitário e sobre o Programa MEC/BID III. Constituiu também importante fonte secundária a literatura internacional oferecida por Muthesius (2000), Chapman (2006), Turner (1984), De Carlo (2005) e outros do cenário nacional, como Alberto (2003), Cunha (2007) e Rodrigues (2001). As fontes primárias foram privilegiadas por meio de entrevistas com profissionais oriundos do CEDATE, bem como com arquitetos, engenheiros e gestores do processo de implantação do campus da UFJF na década de 1970 e outros atuantes em sua consolidação, na década de 1980. Para a materialização da abordagem, este trabalho apresenta um estudo de caso da Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora, um campus típico oriundo das grandes implantações dos anos 1960 e consolidado posteriormente, nos anos 1980, por meio do Programa MEC/BID III. Os resultados encontrados ao longo do estudo evidenciam uma profunda identidade e convergência dos processos experimentados na Europa com a experiência vivida no ensino superior brasileiro a partir de meados do século XX. / The campus as a physical support base for mass higher education systems, which was adopted globally from the 1950s, and its historical and conceptual context from the Brazilian point of view have been subjected to very few studies. Following the example of Europe and the United States, due to demographic pressures after World War II and the need for economic development, numerous Brazilian campuses were implemented. In 1975, however, the Proceedings of the First National Seminar on the University Campus Planning already revealed the shortcomings of the new campuses of federal universities, which made it impossible for them to meet the demands of the 1968 University Reform Act. Successive agreements were signed with the International Development Bank for the restructuring of these physical spaces. The last of these, the MEC/IDB III program signed in 1980, allocated USD 105 million to nine federal universities in order for them to expand, fill in the gaps and find solutions for the shortcomings that remained after the establishment of these campuses in the 1960s and 70s. The general objective of this paper is to delve into an issue of major importance for the physical planning of the university space: the consolidation of the campus as international trend even in countries like France, where they didn’t even exist until the 1950s, and Brazil, where until the 1960s the isolated College prevailed. Among the specific objectives stands the inquiry of historic and architectural aspects related to campuses of federal universities due to restructuring and physical expansion activities that occurred within the scope of the MEC/IDB III program in the 1980s, through the actions of CEDATE - Centre for Development and Technical Support in Education. The methodology used is related to the field of historiographical studies in Architecture and Urbanism. The search for secondary sources led the research to the FAU-USP library, which provided 42 national articles offered by the Brazilian Architecture Index and 90 titles of international articles from the most traditional international journals. It also led to the UFF, where specific literature was gathered on university campuses and the MEC/IDB III program. Also were important as secondary sources the international literature offered by Muthesius (2000), Chapman (2006), Turner (1984), De Carlo (2005) and other national publications from such authors as Alberto (2003), Cunha (2007) and Rodrigues (2001). Furthermore, the primary sources were prioritized in this study. Interviews were conducted with professionals from CEDATE as well as with architects, engineers and managers involved in the implementation process of the UFJF campus in the 1970s, and others who worked on its 1980’s consolidation. To put this approach into practice, this paper presents a case study of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora, which is a typical Brazilian campus from the large 1960’s implementations, which was later consolidated in the 1980s through the MEC/IDB III program. The results found during the study show a profound identification and convergence of the processes experienced in Europe with the Brazilian higher education experience since the mid -twentieth century.

Anouti-Azizé, Suzanne 27 January 2017 (has links)
L’Organisation de la Coopération Islamique (OCI) créée en 1969 suite à l’incendie de la mosquée Al-Aqsa, représente la voix du monde musulman. C’est la deuxième organisation intergouvernementale après l’ONU regroupant cinquante-sept Etats membres aux quatre coins du monde.Un Programme d’Action Décennal (PAD) a été adopté lors du 3ème Sommet islamique extraordinaire réuni en 2005. Le PAD vise une nouvelle vision pour le monde musulman : « la solidarité dans l’action ».Cette thèse étudie l’évolution du rôle de l’OCI pour relever les défis politiques, économiques, sociaux et culturels qui surgissent sur la scène internationale et affectent la communauté musulmane. Elle met l’accent sur les points réalisés du PAD et les entraves de l’OCI à établir l’unité de l’Oummah islamique. / The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has been established in 1969, following the fire of the Al-Aqsa mosque. This organization represents the voice of the Islamic world and it is considered according to its membership, the second intergovernmental organization after the UNO. OIC includes fifty seven member states coming from all over the World.A Ten-year Program of Action (TYPOA) has been adopted in 2005 during the third extraordinary Islamic Summit, aiming at establishing a new vision for the Islamic World called: « Solidarity into action ».This thesis discusses the evolution of the role of the OIC relating international challenges of political, economic, social and cultural nature that the Islamic communities have to face. The thesis points out the matters that have been achieved through the TYPOA and the obstacles that the OIC faced regarding the necessity to unify the Islamic Ummah.

Law Enforcement Intelligence Recruiting Confidential Informants within “Religion-Abusing Terrorist Networks”

Ucak, Hursit 30 April 2012 (has links)
This study examines the motivation factors that make some individuals (terrorists) confidential informants. The study is based on the assumptions of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and Herzberg’s motivation-hygiene theories. Accordingly, main assumption of the present study is that some individuals with unsatisfied needs in religion-abusing terrorist (RAT) networks choose to become confidential informants to satisfy their predominant needs. The main hypothesis for the purpose of this study is “The individuals’ decision-making processes to cooperate with law enforcement intelligence (LEI) as a confidential informant is affected by some motivation factors during recruitment process.” The present study tests 27 hypotheses in order to answer two main research questions. To meet its objectives the present study uses quantitative research methodology, constructs a cross-sectional research design, and employs secondary data analysis to test the hypotheses of the research questions. A dataset was formed based on official records of Turkish National Police by including all confidential informants within eight different RAT networks in Turkey. First, individual effect of each motivation factor on being a confidential informant is tested and discussed in detail. Then two group specific multivariate models for being an informant in Al-Qaeda and Turkish-Hezbollah are illustrated, compared and contrasted. Both bivariate and multivariate statistical analyses not only revealed the extent of individual effects of motivations among RAT groups, but also helped us to build fitting multivariate models that explain the probability of being informants in certain RAT networks. By doing so, the present study aims to make contributions to the literature and practice on this relatively unexplored phenomenon. Findings indicate that while some motivation factors are common among all RAT networks, the strength and direction of their effects vary among different RAT networks.

Políticas públicas para o patrimônio cultural na América Latina: a experiência brasileira e equatoriana e o papel do Banco Interamericano de Desenvolvimento / Public policies for the cultural heritage in Latin America: Brazilian and Ecuadorian experience and the role of the Inter-American Development Bank

As reformas orientadas para o mercado realizadas no Brasil e no Equador a partir da década de 1980 e de 1990 diminuíram os gastos públicos e os recursos humanos das organizações nacionais de patrimônio cultural. Para suprir a demanda por tais recursos, surgiu, na arena política do patrimônio cultural, o agente financeiro internacional. Nesse contexto, esta dissertação busca compreender a relação de poder e as formas como são feitas as escolhas políticas entre os órgãos de patrimônio nacionais e a instituição multilateral que financia diversas políticas públicas culturais. Para tanto, partiu-se da experiência de dois países latino-americanos, o Brasil e o Equador, analisando em que medida os órgãos nacionais desobrigaram-se da realização das políticas públicas para o setor, sofrendo ingerência dos organismos financeiros internacionais. Estabeleceu-se como objeto de estudo três organizações o Banco Interamericano de Desenvolvimento (BID), o Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional (IPHAN), no Brasil, e o Instituto Nacional de Patrimonio Cultural (Instituto de Patrimônio Cultural) (INPC), no Equador e recorreu-se à pesquisa bibliográfica, documental e de campo, bem como a entrevistas com gestores dos órgãos estudados. Confirmou-se a hipótese de que o processo de enfraquecimento das instituições nacionais de patrimônio cultural contribuiu decisivamente para que se retirasse, progressivamente, o poder de decidir, executar e avaliar políticas públicas de preservação do patrimônio cultural dos domínios do Estado. Entretanto, não se confirmou que as decisões se transferiram para organismos internacionais, mas sim para a iniciativa privada, buscando tornar os órgãos nacionais voltados àquele fim meros chanceladores de decisões tomadas fora deles. Verificou-se, ainda, que o processo de desmonte das instituições nacionais de patrimônio cultural brasileira e equatoriana se reverteu nos últimos anos com os governos dos presidentes Luis Inácio Lula da Silva e Rafael Corrêa, repercutindo, inclusive, na condução das políticas públicas financiadas pelo BID para o setor. / The market-oriented reforms carried out in Brazil and Ecuador from the 1980s and 1990s diminished the public expenses and the human resources in the national organizations of cultural heritage. In order to meet the demand for those resources, the international financial agent has come up in the arena of cultural heritage policy. In this context, this thesis aims at understanding the power relation between the national heritage organs and the multilateral institution, which supports several policies of cultural heritage, as well as the ways they choose their policies. To do so, starting with the experiences from two Latin American countries, Brazil and Ecuador, an analysis was held in order to determine to what extent the national organs relieved themselves of accomplishing the public policies for the sector, which caused them to undergo interference by the international financial organs. As the object of study, three organizations were chosen: the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), the Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional (National Institute of Artistic and Historical Heritage) (IPHAN), in Brazil, and the Instituto Nacional de Patrimonio Cultural (National Institute of Cultural Heritage) (INPC), in Ecuador. The research has used related literature, documentary and field research, as well as interviews with the managers of the organs in study. The hypothesis confirmed was that the process of weakening of the national institutions of cultural heritage has contributed decisively to deprive, progressively, the power to decide, implement and evaluate public policies for the preservation of cultural heritage of the State domains. However, it has not been proved that the decisions had been transferred to international organs; rather, to the public initiative, seeking to turn the national organs focused on preservation of heritage into mere chancellors of the decisions made apart from them. It has also been observed that the process of dismantling the Brazilian and Ecuadorian national institutions of cultural heritage was reversed in the last years during the government of Luis Inácio Lula da Silva and Rafael Corrêa, echoing, also, in the conduct of public policies for the sector sponsored by the IDB.
