In this sense, the study focuses on the ideologies that inform the above process, Corporatism and the Principle of Subsidiarity, examining his reappearance in the political theory underlying the "reform" of the State. It is a documental and bibliographical research based on theoretical and methodological horizon of historical and dialectical materialism. The research resulted in approaches that reveal: management "reform" of the Brazilian State, responsive to the crisis of capital, founded in participatory bases, prefigures a integralist political regime, averse to the political independence of the working class organizations; in the current context, decentralized and participatory management aims to capture, in the State apparatus, the classist representations (corporatism) in the context of governance in which an alleged autonomy in the base is designed to manage the overall strategic plan of the State (principle of subsidiarity); management participatory appears as a sine qua non of accaountability, in other words, the transfer of public services to the sphere of civil society, the sphere of the market; the study of the introduction of participatory management in the Ceará public education web showed the link between the new managerial methods and imperatives posed by the State tax adjustment; the process is not completed, because, in a hand, of the resistance of teachers and students and, in onother, by inaction of governments, or by little attraction exerted on the private sector, although the models of participatory and democratic management continue being the preferred way of introducing of the State managerial "reform". / O trabalho tem o objetivo geral de examinar a introdução das políticas de gestão democrática e participativa no campo da educação pública brasileira, no marco da “reforma” gerencial do Estado Brasileiro, com ênfase na experiência do estado do Ceará entre os anos de 1995 e 2006, tendo em vista a articulação de tais diretrizes com as linhas emanadas das instituições multilaterais. Nesse sentido, o estudo enfoca as ideologias que informam o referido processo, o Corporativismo e o Princípio da Subsidiariedade, examinando sua reaparição na teoria política subjacente à “reforma” do Estado. Trata-se de uma pesquisa documental e bibliográfica fundada no horizonte teórico-metodológico do materialismo histórico e dialético. A pesquisa resultou em aproximações conclusivas que revelam que: a “reforma” gerencial do Estado brasileiro, responsiva à crise do capital, fundada em bases participativas, prefigura um regime político integralista, avesso à independência política das organizações de classe; no atual contexto, a gerência descentralizada e participativa visa a capturar, no âmbito do aparato estatal, as representações classistas (corporativismo) no âmbito de uma governança na qual a suposta autonomia na base se destina a gerenciar o plano geral estratégico do Estado (Princípio da Subsidiariedade); a gestão participativa surge como condição sine qua non da publicização, isto é, da transferência dos serviços públicos para a esfera da sociedade civil, esfera do mercado; o exame da introdução da gestão participativa na rede pública cearense mostrou a articulação entre a introdução dos novos métodos gestionários e as necessidades postas pelo ajustamento fiscal do estado e que o processo não se completou, seja pela resistência de professores e estudantes, seja pela inação dos governos, seja pela pouca atração exercida sobre o setor privado, embora os modelos de gestão participativa e democrática sigam sendo a forma privilegiada de introdução da “reforma” gerencial do Estado.

Uno de los factores para el desarrollo sostenible de un país es la provisión de servicios públicos a sus ciudadanos. La carencia de la infraestructura necesaria imposibilita el desenvolvimiento normal de un país. Incluso, la provisión de servicios públicos combate directamente los niveles de pobreza de sus poblaciones. Sin embargo, una de las prestaciones de servicios de las que adolece nuestra población es la del suministro eléctrico. Tal es así que en los Censos Nacionales del 2007, el Instituto Nacional de Estadística e Informática (INEI), registra que sólo un 74,1% de la población peruana tiene cobertura del suministro eléctrico. Es decir, de una población total de 27’057,199 de personas que residen en Perú, 6’464,886 no cuentan con el suministro eléctrico. Esta realidad es una de las grandes limitantes que no permite un desarrollo sostenible de nuestro país. / Tesis

Thesis advisor: Donald Fishman / The purpose of this essay is to dissect the Duke Lacrosse Rape Scandal. This crisis of rushed judgments began as a questionable allegation that escalated into a scandal involving rape, privilege, class, and race. A historical overview of the Duke Rape Scandal is given which segues into an examination of the crisis communication strategies of both Duke University and the Duke Lacrosse players through the use of Fink’s stage analysis and Benoit’s image restoration theory. Additionally, through the use of Fisher’s narrative paradigm, the thesis examines numerous press articles and compares the media differences in portrayals, terminology, and imagery of the players both during and after the scandal. The media narratives helped to mold the opinions of the public. The conclusion argues that in a crisis that combined the issues of race, sex, and class, the Duke Lacrosse Rape Scandal was an influential American event that has become a symbol of wrongful prosecution and a jump to false conclusions. / Thesis (BA) — Boston College, 2011. / Submitted to: Boston College.

ABSTRACT Huntington Disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner, and for which testing is available. The aim of this retrospective file-based study was to analyse the numbers and demographics of individuals who had diagnostic, predictive or prenatal genetic counselling and/or testing for HD between January 1998 and December 2006 through the Division of Human Genetics, National Health Laboratory Service and University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. Files for 287 individuals who had genetic counselling and/or testing for HD were included in this study, with 77% being diagnostic cases, 20% predictive and 3% prenatal. When the results obtained in this study were compared to a study by Kromberg et al. (1999) done previously in the same Division, it was found that there has been an increase in the number of diagnostic and predictive tests done per year during this study, with diagnostic tests making up a greater percentage of the total number of tests performed. One of the objectives of this study was to characterise the individuals who requested HD testing and to compare the characteristics of those in the diagnostic testing group to those in the predictive testing group. The median age of the individuals in the predictive testing group was 30 years, which was significantly different from the median age of 49 years for individuals in the diagnostic testing group (p<0.001). It was found that there were significantly more women than men requesting predictive testing (p=0.02), while the number of males and females in the diagnostic testing group was similar (p=1.00). There was also a greater percentage of employed (76.4%) versus unemployed (23.6%) individuals in the predictive testing group, while the percentages of employed and unemployed individuals in the diagnostic testing group were similar (45.5% and 54.5% respectively). Significantly more individuals in the diagnostic testing group had children (74.5%) compared to those in the predictive testing group, where 44.6% of individuals had one or more children. There was a greater percentage of white individuals in the predictive testing group (91% white; 3.5% black) compared to the diagnostic testing group (48% white, 42% black). The completion rate of the predictive testing process was 66.7%. In the predictive testing group, 39.5% of individuals tested positive for HD, and in the diagnostic testing group 53% of individuals tested positive for HD. Nine prenatal tests were requested by five different couples, and 7 tests were performed. Three of these fetuses tested positive for HD (including a set of twins) and these two pregnancies were terminated. Overall, there seems to be a lack of awareness of and/or access to the genetic services offered for HD through the Division of Human Genetics, National Health Laboratory Service and University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, particularly among black individuals and the professionals treating them. Information generated from this study can be used to understand the individuals seeking genetic counselling and/or testing for HD better, and can direct efforts to improve awareness and access amongst groups noted to be under-represented. It also serves as a starting point for further research.

Den 20 augusti år 2013 trädde Maritime Labour Convention 2006 i kraft. Denna studie har genom intervjuer med nautiska befäl ombord på svenskflaggade fartyg och genom en litteraturstudie, undersökt hur effekten av den nya konventionen upplevts. Syftet med studien var att få insikt i hur konventionen påverkat besättningsmedlemmar samt undersöka hur kraven efterlevs och vilka förändringar som behövts göras ombord med avseende på arbetstid, vilotid och bemanning. I intervjuerna framkom det att inga större förändringar har gjorts ombord i samband med implementeringen av konventionen. Detta eftersom större delen av konventionens krav redan varit implementerade i svensk lagstiftning. Det framkom dock att de nautiska befälen upplever svårigheter med att leva upp till kraven om vilotid och arbetstid samt att detta inte dokumenteras sanningsenligt. Orsaken till detta upplevs vara att bemanningen ombord på fartygen idag inte är tillräcklig. Resultatet visar att många lösningar på detta problem finns och att högre krav ska ställas på rederier och flaggstater för att en förändring ska kunna ske. / On August 20, 2013 the Maritime Labour Convention 2006 entered into force. This study has through interviews with navigating officers onboard Swedish flagged vessels and through a literature study, examined the effect of the new Convention seen from the navigating officers’ point of view. The purpose of this study was to gain insight into how the Convention effected the crew and examine how the requirements are complied with and what changes has been made onboard in regards of hours of work, hours of rest and manning levels. The interviews revealed that no major changes have been made onboard as result of the implementation of the Convention. The reason for this is that most of the requirements of the Convention was already implemented in Swedish law. It appeared, however, that seafarers are experiencing difficulties in meeting the demands regarding hours of rest and that this is not being documented truthfully. The reason for this is percieved to be that the manning levels onboard the ships today is not sufficient. The results show that many solutions exist to this problem, and that greater demands needs to be placed on shipowners and flag states for a change to take place.

The focus of this qualitative study was Lebanese-Canadians‟ identity in the context of global media coverage of the July 2006 war in Lebanon. A narrative inquiry method was used to interview five Lebanese-Canadian participants living in Canada. A descriptive narrative was constructed for each participant, and interview data were analyzed for thematic content. Comments, opinions, and observations were related to media portrayals of Lebanese-Canadians, the government‟s response to the July 2006 war, and the political history between Lebanon and Israel. The results demonstrate that despite a shared ethnic heritage, conceptualizing a Lebanese-Canadian identity is an individual and interactive process that extends beyond citizenship or ethnic ancestry. Moreover, historical and contemporary socio-political issues are inextricably linked to how participants view themselves as Lebanese-Canadians and the meaning this identity status holds for them. These findings suggest that notions of identity and identity-related processes are multifaceted and operate within a highly political context. / Graduate
