Este trabalho procura retratar a trajetória do setor elétrico paulista e suas interações com o setor nacional, já que, como se depreenderá da leitura, impossível, em muitos momentos, serem dissociados, seja na vertente institucional ou na econômica. Não obstante, o cerne da questão abordada aponte para o modo como a reforma institucional de um setor estratégico e de serviço público essencial foi feita, a questão é consideravelmente mais complexa, já que o setor tem características e especificidades únicas. O modelo anterior sob o qual o setor havia se desenvolvido, a partir da década de 1960, estatal em sua quase totalidade, começou a ser desmontado inviabilizou-se. Como duas questões básicas, ainda não foram satisfatoriamente respondidas, ou seja, se havia, realmente, necessidade da privatização e se esta poderia ter sido realizada de forma distinta, intenta-se interpretar os motivos, inicialmente, das estatizações e, posteriormente, das privatizações ocorridas / The aim of this study was to evaluate the processed reforms in the electric sector of São Paulo and his interactions with the Brazilian sector. The major of the question has been the privatization and the way as the institutional reform of a strategic sector and of essential public service sector was made. The question is considered complex, since the sector has single characteristics and the electricity is a capital with very specific peculiarities. The previous model under which had been developed the electric Brazilian sector and, in particular, the native of São Paulo, from decade of 1960, state in it\'s almost totality, started to be demolished is not viable anymore. How, the two basic questions, occurred by the reframe for which had passed, they had not been satisfactorily answered yet, in other words, if really had necessity of the privatization and it could have been carried through of distinct form. Thus, the research aim to determine the reasons of the stabilizations and of the privatizations of the electric sector occurred

Esta modalidade de trabalho, existente desde os primórdios do capitalismo sofre reconfigurações com o desenvolvimento da sociedade capitalista. Com o processo de reestruturação produtiva, tal atividade vem se expandindo através dos processos de terceirização e subcontratação, submetendo os trabalhadores à condições precárias. O trabalho domiciliar enquanto atividade realizada no domicílio do trabalhador é uma fonte de renda para muitas famílias juizforanas. Diante deste contexto, o Departamento de Saúde do Trabalhador de Juiz de Fora (DSAT/JF) realizou, no ano de 2007, um estudo-piloto intitulado “Mapeamento das atividades econômicas domiciliares realizado em área de abrangência da Estratégia de Saúde da Família: integralidade e intersetorialidade das ações em Saúde do Trabalhador”, na Unidade de Atenção Primária à Saúde (UAP) Jardim da Lua localizada no Parque Burnier, com o objetivo de identificar estes trabalhadores e acompanhá-los. Outro projeto de pesquisa que permitiu identificar trabalhadores domiciliares foi “Indústria, Trabalho e Operariado Têxtil em Juiz de Fora”, que está sendo realizada pelo grupo de pesquisa Políticas Públicas, Trabalho e Mercado de Trabalho em Juiz de Fora, da Faculdade de Serviço Social da Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (UFJF). Para fundamentar esta reflexão foram feitas pesquisas bibliográficas, atualização de dados e estudos teórico-analíticos. Além disso, a metodologia utilizada pautou-se em entrevistas qualitativas com os trabalhadores em domicílio identificados nos estudos acima (total de doze pessoas), que buscou apreender o processo de trabalho em domicílio, a relação entre trabalho-saúde e seus desdobramentos no quadro de saúde do trabalhador. / This work makes a preliminary analysis of the relationship between work and health, specifically, work at home in the garment sector and its impacts on the health of workers who develop this activity in the municipality of Juiz de Fora. This type of work, existing since the dawn of capitalism suffers reconfigurations with the development of capitalist society. With the restructuring process, such activity has been expanding through the processes of outsourcing and subcontracting, subjecting workers to poor conditions. Home-based work activity performed at home while the worker is a source of income for many families Juiz de Fora. Given this context, the Department of Occupational Health of Juiz de Fora (DSAT / JF) held in 2007, a pilot study entitled "Mapping of household economic activities carried out in the coverage area of the Family Health Strategy: integration and intersectoral actions in Occupational Health ", Unit of Primary Health Care (UAP) located in the Garden of the Moon Park Burnier, in order to identify these workers and accompany them. Another research project which identified home workers was "Industry, Labor and textile worker in Juiz de Fora" which is being conducted by the research group Public Policy, Employment and Labour Market in Juiz de Fora, the School of Social Work Federal University of Juiz de Fora (UFJF). To support this reflection were made literature searches, updating data and theoretical and analytical studies. Furthermore, the methodology was based on interviews with homeworkers identified in the above studies (total of twelve people), which sought to seize the process of working at home, the relationship between work and health and its consequences within worker

This thesis investigates the combination of changes in the population and employment into sectors in rural Sweden for the period 1960-2010. The aim is to describe and analyze the demographic changes together with the labour market changes, and to account for the spatial outcome of these changes by considering the heterogeneity of rural areas. The analysis departs from the framework of rural restructuring, where changes in employment and population in rural Sweden are interpreted as local products of the global processes of technological development, social modernization and globalization. Empirically, the analysis is based on a combination of longitudinal censuses and register data on the Swedish population covering the period 1960-2010. The first part of the aim is achieved by applying a life-course perspective and exploiting the longitudinal nature of the data. The life-course perspective distinguishes between historical time and the age of individuals, making it possible to situate changes in employment and migration on the individual level. The second part of the aim is achieved through developing a typology of rural Sweden by doing a cluster analysis on SAMS-areas. The results show that rural change after 1980 was characterized by de-industrialization and the rise of the urban service sector. The period was also characterized by regional urbanization rather than local urbanization. Peripheral urban and rural areas based on industrial employment found themselves with a declining economic motor, which meant that people had to find their source of income elsewhere. The migration stream in this period was thus increasingly directed towards metropolitan or large city centers, and their rural surroundings within commuting distance. However, the more fine-tuned spatial typology reveals that also a few areas in the rural periphery have experienced growth, these areas are mainly attractive places based on various kinds of tourism. It can thus be concluded that different rural areas have experienced, and will continue to experience, the shift from manufacturing to services differently, where some areas have grown in both demographic and employment terms while others have declined. In this sense the heterogeneity of rural areas are a product of both growth and decline – of old development paths that is reaching their end and of new development paths that will continue into the future.

Magister Scientiae - MSc (Medical BioSciences) / Organisations are by nature, dynamic entities that continuously undergo transformation in response to both internal and external pressures, which are imposed on them (Robbins, Odendaal & Roodt, 2003). Government departments are by no means immune to these changes, which pose challenges that affect their service delivery. During periods of fundamental transformation, individuals typically experience changes in their levels of organisational commitment, which impacts on effective and efficient service delivery. Organisational commitment as an area of research is one of the factors that could lead to greater morale, strong organisational climate, motivation and productivity in many organisations facing transformation (Salami, 2008). The aim of this study was to investigate the level of organisational commitment after a transformation process at a Provincial Government Department. Recent organisational transformations (both in the private and public sector) have included the redrawing of divisional boundaries, flattening of hierarchic levels, spreading of spans of control, revising compensation, streamlining processes and reforming governance (Ndlovu & Brijball Parusumar, 2005). The results of the research indicate that employees are moderately committed to the organisation. Statistically significant relationships were found between the dimensions of organisational commitment, except for affective commitment and total commitment which were not significant. Furthermore, results indicate that statistically significant differences exist based on the biographical characteristics (namely, gender, race, tenure, marital status, age and job level) but these characteristics do not significantly explain the variance in organisational commitment for this organisation. A limitation of the research is that the sampling composition and research design preclude the results of this study being generalised to other organisations and it is recommended that a stratified random sampling design be utilised for future research. / South Africa

This dissertation entitled The Economical Implications of Institutional Restructuring of Applied Czech Agricultural Research solves the issue of effectiveness of applied national agrarian research, which is financed from public funds. The purpose of this thesis is to describe the current basis of applied agricultural research funded by the governance, respectively those scientific institutions that are eligible for an annual institutional grant to long-term development. Describe their focus and structure of results. Another purpose is to look for possible reserves in the system and to propose the restructuring of national applied agricultural research in organizations established by the Ministry of Agriculture of the Czech Republic. I have focused on comparing the outputs of scientific institutions in the periods of science and research support programs since 2007. In the data evaluated by the research institutions, I have been using bases in the last five years. From the point of view of the effectiveness of applied agricultural research, I am using data from 1989, respectively 2003. I solved the chosen topic of the dissertation by progressive steps. First, I evaluated the individual research institutions in terms of their outputs within the announced programs of support for science and research. I was looking for the argument that there is a substitute in the form of a private research organization in the current system of public research institutions. Which I didn´t find. State established applied agricultural research is unique in its content. For a comprehensive view, I have analysed the structure and types of research results achieved in the announced support programs. Problematics was solved mainly by comparison analysis based on literature, data and their aggregated results. The economic and social policy impacts are processed on the performance of the agriculture - food industry complex in terms of gross added value, socio-demographic data about workers in the field and complex. The dissertation proposes a new organization structure of applied agricultural research established by the state. A system of the central agriculture research organization is designed on the base of the current geographical distribution on the territory of the capital city Prague and Brno. The solution provides a more complex use of the existing unused potential of agriculture public research organizations. At the same time the standard elements of modern management are applied. Research has shown that the current system of funding science and research, which prefer quantity rather than output quality, is a major failure. At the same time, the work has shown that there is a way-out from the current fragmented system of the organization of applied agricultural research while preserving its unique possibilities. The results of this work enable, in the case of political will, the realization of greater efficiency of applied agricultural research established by the state in the Czech Republic.

The thesis is concerned with a question, what plays the key role in decision making process about restructuring of production capacities of automotive companies within global process. All of this is running in the background of optimization factors influencing their cost items value. Volkswagen AG, more precisely SKODA AUTO was chosen for behavior analysis introduced as a case study. The goal is to suggest some recommendations for SKODA AUTO to help with achieving sales of 1,5 million cars in 2018 based on global pressures analysis affecting automotive industry and future cost development study in this field. The main benefit of the thesis is the complex cost items analysis resulting in application of the conclusions into SKODA AUTO case in a form of recommendations based on cost reduction.

In the first chapter of my thesis titled "The Spanish Financial System", I introduce a concept of a financial system in general and a historical development of the Spanish financial system including legislation from the beginning of the 20th century till today. The second part describes a current structure of the Spanish financial system and component entities operating within its framework structured from a point of supervising institutions. The last and crucial chapter is focused on reforms of the Spanish banking sector which have got no parallel in a modern history of the country. Restructuring and consolidation of the banking sector have been primarily carried out by mergers of traditional savings banks which became vulnerable during a period of an international liquidity crisis and an excessive exposure to the construction industry and real estate developments. I explain reasons for reforms, their starting points, progresses and difficulties during the restructuring processes. In conclusion I assess their results and impacts not only on credit institutions but the whole society as well.

Educational restructuring is an international phenomenon, which emphasizes flexibility, local decision-making, self-regulation and innovation in contrast to previous bureaucratic governing and standardised teaching. Current reforms aim at a school adapted to the emerging information- and knowledge intensive society. The aim of the dissertation is to examine current curriculum reforms concerning the governing and organisation of time in compulsory school. In what ways is the temporal order of schools changing in a late modern post-industrial society? What new conditions for teaching are these changes implicating? What kinds of dilemmas emerge for different school actors in conducting these reforms? By using critical discourse analysis, educational reforms are studied as a dynamic discursive practice with different concurring imperatives formatted in tension fields of cultural, social and political changes. Four case studies are used to explore how a current Swedish curriculum reform, Without a National Timetable in Compulsory School, was conducted in an experiment period over five years. The local appropriation of the policy intentions was found to depend on: (i) the preparedness of reform within the particular school, (ii) the dominant school culture, (iii) the local decision-making processes, and (iv) variations in reform mobilisation (identified in the case studies as micro-political struggle, resistance by evasiveness, preservation of consensus and stratification). The results demonstrate that curriculum reform, the ongoing movement of educational restructuring, is not a linear unambiguous process of application. On the contrary, it is a discursive arena, which has a great impact as it involves discourses of efficiency and quality development, increased professionalism, economical cost-reduction, choice and devolution. These discourses involve concurring imperatives for school actors to handle time in the organisation of teaching dependent upon how they are positioned as (i) effective ‘goals makers’ (ii) problem-solvers, who remove obstacles for individual learning projects, (iii) strategists in a more competitive educational landscape, (iv) and moral agents, who in deliberation with others work towards a fair and equal school. It is concluded that for school actors, who work under the crossfire of educational restructuring, these imperatives pose a number of complex dilemmas.
