A declaração das Nações Unidas sobre a educação e formação em direitos humanos: retórica e perspectivas de efetivação / The United Nations Declaration on Human Rights Education and Training: rethoric and perspectives of effectiveness

Fabio Ribeiro Humphreys Gama 22 May 2012 (has links)
Em dezembro de 2011, a Assembleia Geral aprovou a Resolução 66/137 adotando a Declaração das Nações das Nações Unidas sobre a Educação e Formação em Direitos Humanos em sequencia ao processo educativo em direitos humanos - iniciado em 1948 com a Declaração dos Direitos Humanos - que vem em evolução constante, principalmente a partir da década de noventa. A Declaração é a reafirmação da comunidade internacional da necessidade de uma mudança de paradigma e valores que orientem a vida cotidiana dos indivíduos em todo o mundo e que é responsável pelo estado atual dos direitos humanos. Com a adoção deste novo documento internacional, começa o processo de difusão e disseminação do seu conteúdo visando a efetivação do direito humano à educação em direitos humanos - agora indubitavelmente positivado que, sem embargo, deverá superar diversos obstáculos estruturais para a aceitação dos princípios contidos na Declaração Universal dos Direitos Humanos, vale dizer, os valores e tradições nas sociedades baseadas no patriarcalismo e no capitalismo neoliberal. / In December, 2011, the UN General Assembly approved the Resolution 66/137 adopting the United Nations Declaration on Human Rights Education and Training following the human rights education movement started in 1948 by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in an on-going evolution mainly as of the 90`s. The Declaration is the ratification by the international community of the need of changing paradigm and values which orient the life of individuals in daily basis worldwide and that is responsible for the current state of the human rights. With the adoption of this new international document the process of diffusion and dissemination of its content started aiming at the effectiveness of the right to human rights education. Yet, the Declaration must overcome many structural obstacles for the acceptance of its principles, in especial, the values and traditions of the societies based on the patriarchy and the neoliberal capitalism.

Buscou-se também compreender as narrativas e discursos das comunidades envolvidas e do discurso oficial, que foram afetadas pelas funções de controle e vigilância de informações, em particular em períodos discricionários e totalitários. Problematiza-se que a produção de sentido ou a semântica não é um assunto muito refletido ou discutido na Arquivologia, as questões de representação da informação se encontram com maior evidência na Organização do Conhecimento, associada à Ciência da Informação. Esta produção de sentido pode levar ao contexto que está por trás do texto, à ampliação de estudos sobre tipologia documental, a linguagem, as narrativas e informações utilizadas nas universidades públicas federais à época, seus atores, as regulações existentes, assinalando, na historiografia do presente, as construções de memórias, o campo de disputas de memórias individuais e coletivas e atualmente sua (re) – significação. Existiu uma “ guerra info-comunicacional”, entre a produção de discursos e narrativas de estudantes e órgãos governamentais. Quanto aos aspectos teórico-metodológicos, observam-se correntes de pensamento na Arquivologia e na Ciência da Informação sobre a produção de sentido; o conceito de documento e informação e seus diversos aspectos na Ciência da Informação e na Arquivologia, a gênese, do processo documental, e, a materialidade do documento e da informação. Quanto ao aspecto metodológico empírico da pesquisa, destaca-se em primeiro lugar o entendimento do contexto dos documentos de arquivos sigilosos, com o Manual de Informações do SNI, Regulamento para Salvaguarda de Assuntos Sigilosos, Manual de Procedimentos administrativos da Assessoria de Segurança e Informação (ASI), buscando as funções, atividades e atos, organicidade e vínculo arquivísticos. Em um segundo momento, fez-se uso da Tipologia Documental, da identificação de documentos, buscando os assuntos coadunados ao conceito de relevância. Como amostragem do sistema de informação, foi utilizada a série de documentos do Diretório Central dos Estudantes (DCE), no fundo documental da (ASI), da UFF; célula que foi subordinada à Divisão de Segurança e Informação(DSI), do Ministério da Educação (MEC), na rede de documentos e informações produzidos e recebidos no Serviço Nacional de Informação (SNI) e no Sistema Nacional de Informações (SISNI). Constatou-se que houve uma cultura do sigilo. Criou-se uma cultura documental de produção de documentos e de sentidos, de técnicas e processamento de documentos e informações, envolvendo funções, atividades e atos, o que leva a pensar em uma cultura específica e especializada do SISNI e do SNI; que promoveu o discurso através do registro e a uniformidade de pensamento da comunidade de informações e contra-informações. Considera-se que a memória e a (re) produção de sentido nos arquivos se faz através da materialidade dos códigos sociais, e da elaboração de documentos e informações. / This paper aims to understand how the State exercises power through social codes, standardization of documents and information, the production of meaning of records of confidential files in the Information and Counter-Information System in the Civil-Military Dictatorship, in a cut between 1971 and 1982, under the guidance of the Security and Information Office (ASI), Federal Fluminense University – UFF. It was also sought to understand the narratives and discourses of the communities involved and the official discourse, are affected by the functions of control and information surveillance, particularly in discretionary and totalitarian periods. It is problematic that the production of meaning or semantics is not a subject much reflected or discussed in the Archivology, the questions of information representation are more evident in the Organization of Knowledge, associated with Information Science. This production of meaning can lead to the context behind the text, the expansion of studies on documentary typology, language, narratives and information used in federal public universities at the time, its actors, the existing regulations, pointing out, in the historiography of the Present, the constructions of memories, the field of disputes of individual and collective memories and presently their (re) – signification. There was an “info-communicational war” between the production of speeches and narratives of students and government agencies. As for the theoretical-methodological aspects, currents of thought are observed in the Archives and Information Science on the production of meaning; The concept of document and information and its various aspects in Information Science and Archives, the genesis of the documentary process, and the materiality of the document and information. As for the empirical methodological aspect of research, Understanding of the context of confidential files, with the SNI Information Manual, the Rules for Safeguarding Confidential Affairs, the Manual of Administrative Procedures of the Security and Information Office (ASI), seeking the functions, activities and acts, organicity and archival link. In a second moment, it was made use of the Documentary Typology, of the identification of documents, searching for the subjects in line with the concept of relevance. As a sampling of the information system, the series of documents of the Central Directory of Students (DCE) was used in the documentary fund of (ASI), UFF; Which was subordinated to the Security and Information Division (DSI) of the Ministry of Education (MEC), in the network of documents and information produced and received at the National Information Service (SNI) and the National Information System (SISNI). It was found that there was a culture of secrecy. A documentary culture has been created to produce documents and senses, techniques and documents and information processing, involving functions, activities and acts, which leads to thinking about a specific and specialized culture of SISNI and SNI; Which promoted the discourse through registration and the uniformity of thinking of the information and counter-information community. It is considered that the memory and (re) production of meaning in the archives is done through the materiality of social codes, and the elaboration of documents and information.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Luciana Orozco de Gouveia.pdf: 1798459 bytes, checksum: a904ad1d5c4396a53379f94d9ad04ac8 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2014-02-19 / The number of mergers and acquisitions transactions has grown increasingly, overcoming barriers of the country of the companies origins. This is due to the increased competition, forcing companies who wish to prosper, to seek inorganic growth through acquisitions. The objective of this research was to develop a methodology for prospecting in the customer base of the commercial bank, maximizing the efficiency of the investment bank in the search of potential mergers and acquisitions transactions. The developed model in this research can be used by M&A (Mergers and Acquisitions) analysts on investment banks, since it will be possible to perform a screening in the customer base of commercial bank already using existing information held by the bank to find counterparties in transactions of M&A. It was developed a qualitative exploratory study based on historical of mergers and acquisitions transactions in the healthcare industry , it was analyzed the reasons which provided mergers and acquisitions transactions, deals value and also the acquisitions made by public companies in the healthcare industry. After that it was made a model to find counterparts in the customer base of a commercial bank, to seek potential targets or buyers. This model was applied in a real case, showing satisfactory outcome. / O número de transações em fusões de aquisições vem aumentando e cada vez mais ultrapassando as barreiras do país de origem das companhias. Isso ocorre devido à concorrência mais acirrada que obriga as empresas, que desejam prosperar, a buscar crescimento inorgânico através de aquisições. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi elaborar um modelo de prospecção na base de clientes do banco comercial, maximizando a eficiência do banco de investimentos na busca de transações na área de fusões e aquisições. O modelo desenvolvido nesta pesquisa pode ser utilizado por analistas de F&A (Fusões e Aquisições) de banco de investimentos, uma vez que será possível realizar uma triagem na base de clientes do banco comercial, já utilizando as informações existentes em poder do banco para buscar contrapartes nas transações de F&A. Foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa exploratória baseada em transações históricas de fusões e aquisições no setor de saúde; foram estudados os motivos que originaram as transações de F&A, perfil das empresas, valores dos deals e ainda as aquisições realizadas no setor por empresas de capital aberto. Com o estudo realizado foi elaborado um modelo para buscar contrapartes na base de clientes de um banco comercial, tanto para buscar potenciais alvos como compradores. Modelo este que foi aplicado em um caso real, demonstrando resultado satisfatório.

Investeringsrådgivning och portföljförvaltning enligt MiFID II : – ett orosmoln på en klar finansmarknadshimmel? / Financial advisory and portfolio management due to MiFID II : A storm approaching a clear financial sky?

Hallborg, Adam, Haidarova, Arya January 2017 (has links)
Bakgrund: I och med den globala finansiella kris som utbröt år 2008 påvisades ett flertal brister i den befintliga lagstiftningen på finansmarknadsområdet. Den rådande EU-lagstiftningen behövde uppdateras och anpassas efter en mer komplex finansmarknad. Därmed antogs av Europaparlamentet och rådet år 2014 två nya rättsakter, MiFID II och MiFIR, i syfte att täcka rådande brister och vidareutveckla den befintliga regleringen i det gällande direktivet MiFID.   Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att utreda och analysera de effekter som införandet av MiFID II får för finansiella rådgivare såväl som för portföljförvaltare i deras löpande verksamhet.   Genomförande: Studien har genomförts med ett rättsdogmatiskt angreppssätt i referensramen. Vidare används ett rättsekonomiskt angreppssätt i analysen där det även förs en etisk diskussion. Underliggande direktiv ”Europaparlamentets och rådets direktiv 2014/65/EU av den 15 maj 2014 om marknader för finansiella instrument och om ändring av direktiv 2002/92/EG och av direktiv 2011/61/EU” har legat till grund för studien där störst vikt har lagts vid regeringens proposition 2016/17:162: “Nya regler om marknader för finansiella instrument”.                                                                  Slutsats: Studiens resultat av de analyserade ändringarna visar på att regleringen kring tillståndspliktiga värdepappersbolag kommer att bli mer omfattande samt att det kommer att ställas högre krav på dokumentation vid investeringssammanhang. Dessa ökade krav torde medföra att kostnaderna, för såväl tillståndspliktiga bolag som tillsynsmyndigheter, kommer att öka samtidigt som fler bolag kommer att bli tvungna att underkasta sig tillståndsplikt. Ur en konkurrenssynpunkt riskerar ändringarna att gynna stora och/eller kapitalstarka aktörer och därigenom snedvrida konkurrensen på marknaden. Det föreslagna provisionsförbudet torde å sin sida verka för att kapital omallokeras från bolag som tidigare levt på höga avgifter och incitamentsstrukturer till att istället förflyttas till bolag vilka levererar en bra tjänst och produkt. / Background: Due to the global financial crisis that occurred in 2008, multiple deficiencies in existing financial market legislation were identified. The current EU legislation was in need of update and to be adapted to a more complex financial market. Therefore, the European Parliament and the Council adopted two new legal acts in 2014, MiFID II and MiFIR, to overcome current shortcomings and further develop the existing regulation in the current MiFID Directive. Aim: The purpose of this paper is to investigate and analyze the effects of the introduction of MiFID II for financial advisors as well as for asset managers in their ongoing operations. Completion: The study has been conducted with a legal-judicial approach in the theoretical part, whereas we in the analysis part we use law and economics. In the analysis the ethical impact of the changes in legislation is also discussed. “Directive 2014/65/EU of the European parliament and of the council of 15 May 2014 on markets in financial instruments and amending Directive 2002/92/EC and Directive 2011/61/EU” as well as the Swedish bill “2016/17:162: “Nya regler om marknader för finansiella instrument” has provided the basis for the study. Conclusion: The results of the study indicate that the regulation of licensed securities companies will increase and become more extensive, and that there will be more requirements for documentation in investment context. These increased requirements will lead to a rise in costs, both for licensed companies and regulators, as more companies will need to be subject to a license requirement. From a competitive point of view, the changes tend to benefit large and/or capital-strong players, thereby distorting competition in the market. The prohibition of commission, on the other hand, should result in a re-allocation of capital from companies that previously received their incomes from high fees and incentive structures to instead be re-allocated to companies that deliver a good service and a good product.

Community participation in the implementation of the integrated development plan with reference to Inanda Township in the province of Kwa-Zulu Natal

Ntuli, Leanett Fanyana January 2011 (has links)
This study focuses on community participation in the implementation of the integrated development plan in Inanda Township in the Province of KwaZulu-Natal. The empirical part of the study was conducted on the Inanada, Ntuzuma, and KwaMashu area of the eThekwini Municipality. Ward committees are forums for community participation in municipalities. They enhance participatory democracy at the local sphere of government. The main function of ward committee members include advising the ward councilors on policy matters that affect their respective wards, identifying the needs and challenges that face the wards, and communicating information to communities residing in those wards. This study acknowledges the fact that, in terms of the policy framework, ward councillors are the chairpersons of their respective ward committees. They are there to assist the community to express its views and participate in the processes of policy-making. Ward committee members need to liaise with the community, bring issues to the ward committee meetings and take the concerns of the community to the relevant unit of the municipality. The role of ward committees is to facilitate service delivery in their communities. It also found that the efficacy of ward committees during the implementation phase of the IDP could be improved. Hence it recommends that the eThekwini Municipality must encourage local community members, ward committees and councillors to play their role during the implementation of the IDP.

"The Market That Just Grew Up": How Eaton's Fashioned the Teenaged Consumer in Mid-twentieth-century Canada

Rollwagen, Katharine E January 2012 (has links)
This thesis focuses on the emergence of the teenaged consumer as a market segment in Canada during the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. It challenges the notion that teenagers were of little interest to retailers until economics and demographics shaped the more numerous and prosperous post-war teenagers of the Baby Boom generation. Using evidence from corporate records and analysis of mail order catalogues, the study examines how department store retailer, the T. Eaton Company, Limited, began to cultivate a distinct and lucrative teenaged consumer in the 1930s, and thereby began shaping the teenaged consumer. The thesis contextualizes the case study of Eaton’s by exploring the varied expectations that adults had of young people at the time, using census records and magazines (Chatelaine, Canadian Home Journal and Mayfair) to explore concerns about young people’s transition to adulthood. It then focuses on how Eaton’s made a concerted and sustained effort to attract teenager customers to its catalogue and stores. Analysis of its semi-annual catalogue highlights the emergence of specialized clothing size ranges and styles, revealing that Eaton’s increasingly viewed the teenaged years as an important in-between life stage. Eaton’s also instituted teenage advisory councils to both glean market trends and provide a venue for what it considered education for novice consumers. Eaton’s presented consumption as a way to prepare young people for adult roles, legitimizing teenaged participation in the consumer marketplace and contributing to wider debates about when and how teenaged Canadians should reach maturity.

Le heavy metal érigé en contre-culture dans le cadre du Record Labeling Hearing : une sous-culture en émergence entre stigmatisation et reconnaissance

Gendreau, Marc-Antoine January 2014 (has links)
La thèse analyse un document intitulé Record Labeling Hearing (RLH) (1985), qui reprend dans son intégralité une séance qui s’est tenue au Congrès des États-Unis à propos du contenu jugé problématique de certains albums de musique. Au cœur de cette séance, se retrouve le Parents Music Resource Centre (PMRC), un groupe de pression qui voit le jour en 1984. D’après le PMRC, les albums avec des paroles traitant de sexe, de violence, d’occulte, de drogues et d’alcool méritent l’autocollant du « Parental Advisory : Explicit Lyrics » afin d’avertir les parents des thématiques abordées. La séance réunit des sénateurs du Congrès américain, les membres du PMRC et des alliés de ces derniers, dont la National Parent/Teacher Association (NPTA), ainsi que des représentants de l’industrie de la musique et trois artistes. Nous verrons dans la thèse qu’en fait, c’est le heavy metal que le PMRC et ses alliés visaient lors du RLH et non par exemple certains contenus transversaux à divers types d’albums de musique. A cette époque, la sous-culture du heavy metal était encore en émergence et pour tout dire bien fragile. En 1985, elle était même menacée de fragmentation en raison de la popularité de certains de ses sous-genres. Or, en présentant le heavy metal comme une contre-culture, le RLH a aidé ce genre musical à se constituer en véritable sous-culture.
