Este trabalho é voltado ao estudo das novas nuances da subordinação no contrato de trabalho, diante das transformações no modo de produção em razão da globalização e do advento de novas tecnologias. Para justificar a pertinência do estudo, demonstra-se a equivalência entre a livre iniciativa e o valor social do trabalho, de modo que a economia e o trabalho devam caminhar juntos, evitando-se desequilíbrios no sistema. Diante disso, faz-se necessário abordar a evolução histórica do subordinação dentro do direito do trabalho, bem como as definições do trabalho subordinado e os critérios empregados pela jurisprudência, diante das lacunas da lei. Consolidado o estudo da subordinação, procede-se à análise dos fatores externos que levaram as modificações no mundo do trabalho, como a recessão econômica da década de 70, os processos de globalização e a consequente automação dos modos de produção. Tais fatores levaram à criação de novas formas de prestação de serviço, que não se adequam ao padrão do trabalho subordinado, mas, ao mesmo tempo, não podem ser consideradas como autônomas, em sua integralidade. Assim, gera-se uma evasão social de trabalhadores marginalizados da proteção adequada, já que não se encaixam ao modelo praticado pelo direito do trabalho, dividido entre trabalho subordinado e autônomo. Nesse cenário, apresentam-se propostas da doutrina e jurisprudência para solucionar o problema e adequar os critérios de subordinação à realidade do trabalho. / This dissertation aims to study the new forms of subordinations in labour contract, due to the transformation in the way of production after globalization and the introduction of new technologies. In order to justify the importance of the study, it demonstrates the equivalence between free enterprise and the social value of work, so that economy and work shall walk together, avoiding disturbance at the system. Furthermore, it is necessary to refer to the historical evolution of subordination into labour law, as well as the definition of subordinate work and the criteria used by jurisprudence, considering the lack of law. Once established the study of subordination, it will proceed to the analysis of external factors that provoked modification in work, as the 70s economical recession, globalization process and automation of the ways of production. These factors conducted to the creation of new forms of services, which are not adjusted to subordinate work pattern, but at the same time, cannot be considered as full self-employed. Indeed, it generates a social evasion of employees, marginalised form correct protection, as they do not fit to the model practised by labour law, which is divided between subordinated work and self-employed. Finally, it presents proposals from doctrine and jurisprudence in order to give a solution to the problem, and adequate the subordination criteria to work reality.

This study surveyed a national sample of school psychologists (N = 105) regarding their training and skills in function-based behavior support planning. Specifically, this study aimed to determine (a) the function-based behavior support planning competencies practicing school psychologists possess and (b) factors that are related to their level of competency (e.g., prior training). School psychologists were asked to identify strategies as function-based, neutral, or contra-indicated when provided with a brief vignette. School psychologists also reported on demographic characteristics and pre-service and post-graduate training in behavior support planning. Currently, very little is known about the function-based behavior support planning competencies school psychologists possess. This study is among the first to directly assess the ability to link the function of behavior to relevant support strategies. Results of the study indicate that an alarming proportion of school psychologists did not meet the criterion for proficiency on this measure. Interestingly, the current study did not find statistically meaningful differences of performance based on characteristics of prior training. Implications for improving function-based behavior support planning competencies of school psychologists and strategies for improving student supports are discussed.

Esta pesquisa investiga como aspectos locacionais e aspectos físico-espaciais das pracinhas infantis podem influenciar, de forma positiva ou negativa, no estado de conservação destas pracinhas, na percepção de segurança e, consequentemente, na sua frequência e intensidade de uso por crianças e acompanhantes. Dentre os aspectos locacionais estão, o controle de acesso aos conjuntos habitacionais e as pracinhas infantis, os caminhos de acesso às pracinhas infantis a partir das moradias, a localização das pracinhas nos conjuntos habitacionais, as conexões visuais entre as moradias e as pracinhas infantis e o entorno imediato às pracinhas infantis. Em relação aos aspectos físicos das pracinhas são tratados, o dimensionamento físico das pracinhas infantis, a adequação dos equipamentos de brincar e do mobiliário e a adequação da vegetação. Assim, o objetivo é investigar a relação entre os aspectos locacionais das pracinhas infantis e a adequação no uso por criança e acompanhantes, e a relação entre os aspectos físicos das pracinhas infantis e as suas avaliações pelas crianças e acompanhantes. Para tanto, são selecionadas oito pracinhas infantis em seis conjuntos habitacionais localizados em Porto Alegre. Os métodos de coletas de dados fazem parte dos utilizados na área de estudo Ambiente e Comportamento, sistematizados por meio de levantamento de arquivo, levantamento físico, observações de comportamento, questionários e entrevistas. Os dados coletados foram analisados de forma qualitativa e quantitativa, através de testes estatísticos não-paramétricos. Os resultados desta investigação demonstram que, a falta de controle de acesso aos conjuntos afeta negativamente o estado de conservação das pracinhas infantis, bem como a percepção de segurança das crianças e dos acompanhantes. A intensidade de uso tende a ser pior nas pracinhas mal localizadas e com menor controle visual. A conservação dos equipamentos tendem a ser pior nas pracinhas com dimensionamento físico e equipamentos inadequados à intensidade de uso. Por fim, espera-se que os dados obtidos possam contribuir para qualificar projetos de pracinhas infantis em conjuntos habitacionais, a fim de responder melhor às necessidades das crianças e dos acompanhantes. / This research investigates how locational and physical aspects of playground can influence, positively or negatively, in the state of conservation of these small squares, the perception of safety and consequently the intensity of use by children and companions. Among the locational aspects are, the control of access to housing and children's small squares, access roads to playground from the villas, the location of playground in the projects, the visual connections between housing and children's small squares and immediate surroundings to playground. Regarding the physical aspects of playground are treated, the physical design of children's small squares, the adequacy of equipment to play and the furniture and the adequacy of vegetation. The objective is to investigate the relationship between the locational aspects of children's grunts and adapt them to the children and their companions, and the relationship between the physical aspects of playground and their assessments by the children and their companions. Therefore, eight playground are selected in six housing estates located in Porto Alegre. The methods of data collection are part of the area used in environment studies and behavior, systematized through archival survey, physical survey, behavioral observations, questionnaires and interviews. The collected data were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively, using non-parametric statistical tests. The results of this research show that the lack of control of access to sets negatively affect the conservation status of playground and the perception of safety of children and companions. The intensity of use tends to be worse in poorly located playground and less visual control. The conservation tend to be worse in small squares with physical design and equipment unsuited to the intensity of use. Finally, it is expected that the data obtained can help to qualify playground projects in housing, in order to better meet the needs of children and their carers.

The thesis is considering financial analysis of Česká spořitelna a.s. The main aim is to show importance of particular financial indicators as an outcome of financial analysis of the bank as an institution administering money of third persons. The thesis is evolved not only by time analysis, but is also focused on inter-bank competition, where it has been taken to comparison with reference group "The big banks". The analysis involves the structure of assets and liabilities, structure of profit, analysis of profitability, liquidity and capital adequacy. The particular aim of the work is to consider situation of the bank sector in the Czech Republic in relation to economical climate of recent years.

xi Abstract This thesis aims to provide eclectic legal and economic insight into the history, current principles and possible future development of bank capital adequacy regulation. We have worked with a variety of legal and economic literature and official Basel Committee publications. Our goal was to explore the economic background behind the Basel standards and find its legal ramifications and the incentives they create. In the first chapter, we analyze the economic rationale for banking regulation, explain possible methods of bank capital regulation and juxtapose them with other means of regulatory measures in the field of banking. The first chapter also gives overview of the Basel I framework, its implementation process, describes its utilization of new regulatory techniques, as well as its weaknesses. Second chapter provides overview of Basel II approval process and discusses its transparency and institutionary framework. Problematic issues of CRD directive in the Czech Republic are discussed in contrast with norms of due legislation process. In the next chapter, we describe the mechanics of the Basel II framework. In greater detail, we focus on the issues of securitization, off-balance sheet exposures and methods of "promise-shifting" in the financial system. Examples are used to illustrate the...

This thesis focuses on consequences of the full implementation of Basel III regulations and what impact it will have on the banking sector. The purpose of Basel III is to replace Basel II as a global regulatory standard, because of its predecessor's flaws, such as the amplifying of banks' procyclicality, overreliance on credit rating agencies or the incentive to securitize its assets. The examination of Basel III regulations has shown that the most difficult task for banks would be to raise the capital for increased requirements and implementation of liquidity ratios. This will undoubtedly change the behaviour of banks. Using the panel data model, we will analyze the relationship between the changes in regulatory capital and our dependent variables, which consist of change in interest rates, change in the amount of loans granted and the change of stability of a bank, in countries from the Visegrad Four, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland and Hungary. Using estimated coefficients from our regression, we examine whether there will be unintended negative effects of Basel III implementation and whether there will be an increase in a stability of banks.

Campus Barra de S?o Francisco (Education, Science and Technology Federal Institute of Esp?rito Santo) proposals, focusing on what these instruments of Pedagogy of Alternation can improve the teaching-learning and the life quality of the local population. The reason for this work is the need to incorporate the Alternation Pedagogy tools, noted that the Agricultural Technician course has become a very mechanistic way, missing this approach with the students' families, in order to strengthen the course development and the possibilities for further sustainable actions after its conclusion. Understanding that every organizational change requires adequacy, this work attempted to indicate the use of relevant tools of the Pedagogy of Alternation at Ifes ? Campus Barra de S?o Francisco. Approaching on instruments because the knowledge systematization and its application to the student's reality seems an effective idealization in the context for what it is proposed. The methodology relies to research documents of the Ifes ? Barra de S?o Francisco Agricultural Technician course and analysis about the visits made, as well as through the Implementation Plan of the campus and the course. It was concluded that the indicated instrumentalization is feasible, because the students? knowledge and their previous academic experience led to Pedagogy of Alternation. / As diferen?as organizacionais existentes entre as institui??es apresentadas servem de apoio ? compreens?o do que se prop?e como objeto deste estudo dissertativo: a viabilidade e efic?cia da incorpora??o de instrumentos-did?tico-pedag?gicos da Pedagogia da Altern?ncia ?s propostas do Ifes ?

Conventional wisdom decrees that in order for insurers to provide cover, they require capital. One of the many methods of calculating capital requirements of short-term insurers is the insolvency put option framework. This technique was originally introduced by Merton (1977). The general argument is that bankruptcy occurs when shareholders exercise a valuable put option. Indeed, the corporation was introduced to protect shareholders from, mainly contractual, liabilities of persons who trade with the corporation. The corporation thus introduced the idea of limited liability of shareholders or as is often called the corporate veil. However, if a company defaults on its debt then equity holders have decided to allow an embedded call option to expire unexercised. As a result shareholders will behave as if they in fact hold a call option, which creates a different incentive than that suggested by the insolvency put idea. This study examines the role of capital and the influence of the insolvency put option within a short-term insurer. Specifically, it is argued that capital is not the cornerstone of a short-term insurer. Moreover, using Brownian motion and Itō calculus as well as continuous time financial models a more complete mathematical description of an insurance company is articulated by explicitly taking the embedded equity call option into account.

Thesis (M.A.) (Social Work) --University of Limpopo, 2007. / An evaluation of Employee Assistance Programme is pivotal in any department or enterprise. An EAP must be evaluated to justify its existence to external authorities, to ascertain the extent to which the programme is fulfilling its objectives and to find ways to improve its performance. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the EAP within the Department of Public Works in Vhembe District specifically focusing on the employees’ awareness of the programme, its utilization, as well as programme adequacy. A quantitative approach was used in this study. Eighty six (86) employees from various levels in the Department were selected to participate in the study using a systemic random sampling in which every tenth person from the sampling frame was selected. Summary of the main findings The following is a summary of major findings from the study: 􀂃 The majority of the employees were aware of EAP within the Department of Public Works through meetings. 􀂃 The Employee Assistance Programme within the Department of Public Works was viewed as accessible by the majority of employees. 􀂃 The utilization rate of EAP within the Department of Public Works in Vhembe District was low, since only 29% of employees indicated that they had utilized the services before. 􀂃 The employees who had utilized the EAP were mainly referred by their supervisors while some referred themselves. Only ten percent (10%) of supervisors/managers indicated that they had referred employees to the EAP. The referral rate of employees to the EAP by supervisors/managers was low. 􀂃 EAP was viewed as confidential by the majority of employees within the Department and the level of employees’ trust to the EAP staff was high. v 􀂃 The majority of employees were not aware of the EAP policy and they had never participated in policy formulation. 􀂃 Most employees within the Department indicated that the EAP was addressing their personal problems, and the programme was viewed as useful (programme adequacy). 􀂃 The majority of employees were satisfied with the EAP within the Department of Public Works in Vhembe. 􀂃 Most employees identified a need for EAP staff to inform all employees within the Department about its services and to visit the Cost Centres frequently. / Not available

The research reported in this thesis was an exploratory nature undertaken for the purpose of developing a measure of the adequacy of health services in three rural counties in Utah. The three counties included in the study area were Beaver, Piute, and Wayne. Adequacy of health services in the three-county area was measured on the basis of (1) the general population's, or consumer's, perception of the adequacy of the existing services, (2) the professional's or provider's perception of the adequacy of the existing services, and (3) adequacy of the existing services determined by a comparison with an established standard. The findings showed that major differences in the general population's perception of adequacy are present when controlling for county with the vast majority of the respondents in Piute and Wayne counties perceiving the existing services as poor, but with a large majority of those in Beaver County considering their services as good or excellent. With regard to the professional's perception of adequacy of existing services, it was found that the majority of the medical doctors perceived the services as adequate, but the doctors of dental surgery generally perceived the adequacy of service as somewhat less than desirable. With regard to the last measure, that of adequacy of existing services as determined by a comparison to an established standard, the services in the study area were found to be inadequate in all respects with the single exception of number of hospital beds per 1,000 population in Beaver County. It was concluded that there is a large degree of consensus between the perceived inadequacy of the health services of the general population in Piute and Wayne counties and the inadequacy demonstrated by the comparison of existing services to an established standard. In Beaver County the reverse is true with the perception of the general population and that of the physician population being very similar, both considering the services adequate but both being in disagreement with adequacy as measured by an established standard. The findings suggest that more detailed research in the area is needed if a standard of adequacy acceptable to everyone is to be developed.
