La Constitution portugaise établit une vaste autonomie locale aux autarcies locales au sein de l'organisation étatique. Elle crée un intérêt local propre à chaque autarcie locale qui coexiste avec l'intérêt général car il bénéficie de la protection de la Constitution. L'intérêt local autarcique est un intérêt autonome. Sa représentation appartient à chaque autarcie locale. La municipalité se distingue parmi les autarcies locales par l'importance de ses compétences et par la singularité de son fonctionnement. Ses deux organes sont élus directement créant une tension quant à leur légitimité démocratique, bien que la Constitution établisse que la Chambre municipale répond devant l'assemblée. Selon la Constitution, l'exécutif municipal est un organe collégial élut proportionnellement et son président est le premier candidat de la liste la plus votée. Il est de fait un organe, bien que la Constitution de la loi ne le reconnaisse pas comme tel. Ses compétences propres sont vastes mais trois de ses compétences font la différence. Elles lui donnent une suprématie sur l'organe qui empêche son fonctionnement collégial. / The Portuguese Constitution grants a large autonomy to the local communities in the context of the State organisation. The Constitution recognizes a local interest regarding each local community, which exists alongside with the general interest and under the protection of the Constitution. The autarchy's interest is autonomous. The municipality bas a prominent role in the autarchy's organisation because of its competences and its singular functioning. Both organs are directly elected witch creates tension concerning their democratic legitimacy although the Constitution stipu1ates that the executive is accountable before the assembly. The Portuguese Constitution states that the municipal executive operates collectively, is elected by a proportional system and bas a president that is the first candidate in the most voted list. In fact, the Constitution and the law do not recognise him as an organ. Although he has vast competences, three of those competences make all the difference. They block the organ from operating collectively.

The thesis is focused on analyzing and evaluation of importance and potential of fast-growing woody species for specifics of Czech economy and local conditions. Thesis will inquire into applicability of each fast-growing species for Czech natural conditions. Further I will investigate opportunities of subvention from public authorities. Next part of thesis will be focused on all activities and processes during cultivation of fast-growing species from acquiring land to processing of wooden mass. For each activity will quantify costs of labor and physical capital during cultivation of fast-growing woody species for different subjects in Czech economy, like household owning a soil or company with unused outside areas. Thesis will be comparing possible energetic savings of profits for a number of alternatives with different energy prices development in ongoing years. Practical output of this thesis should not be only the compilation of all these information into one text, but above all also a complex formula which everyone can use for the calculation of his opportunities for cultivating of fast-growing woody species.

O estudo teve origem em pesquisa exploratória, por meio da realização de entrevistas com executivos que atuam e possuem larga experiência no setor de seguros privados, resseguro, previdência complementar aberta e capitalização. Conforme as observações colhidas nas entrevistas, os principais problemas característicos do modelo de governança atual da Susep são ausência de independência orgânica e de autonomia financeira e orçamentária. O presente trabalho aprofundou na literatura nacional a compreensão dessas características no âmbito das agências reguladoras federais brasileiras, em contraste com as características atuais peculiares ao modelo de governança de autarquias comuns. O modelo das agências reguladoras foi escolhido pois a maioria dos próprios entrevistados manifestou entendimento no sentido de que o atual modelo de governança da Susep está ultrapassado e que a adoção do modelo de agência reguladora seria o mais adequado para o setor. Foram consultadas a legislação e doutrina especializada em agências reguladoras, Direito Tributário e Direito Econômico, bem como examinados acórdãos do Tribunal de Contas da União e pesquisas, relatórios e estudos nacionais já realizados nas searas da independência orgânica e da autonomia financeira e orçamentária das agências reguladoras federais brasileiras. Também foram analisados diversos projetos de lei em tramitação no Congresso Nacional, que propõem alterações na estrutura organizacional das agências reguladoras federais brasileiras e nas leis que tratam da gestão financeira e orçamentárias dessas agências. Por fim, concluiu-se que, embora a criação de uma agência reguladora para o setor de seguros privados, resseguro, previdência complementar aberta e capitalização possa contribuir para a superação de problemas associados ao modelo atual de governança da Susep, tal modelo não trará uma solução definitiva para os problemas atualmente existentes na Susep no que diz respeito à ausência de independência orgânica e de autonomia financeira e orçamentária do órgão. Além disso, embora o modelo de agência reguladora possa apresentar vantagens em relação ao modelo de autarquia comum, o modelo de governança das agências reguladoras federais brasileiras necessita ser aperfeiçoado para que se assegure maior independência e efetiva autonomia financeira e orçamentária. / This study's purpose is the study of the governance model of the Superintendency of Private Insurance - SUSEP, common autarchy, confronting it with the special autarchy, mainly with the regulatory agencies. The study originated in exploratory research through interviews with executives who work and have extensive experience in the private insurance industry, reinsurance, open private pension and capitalization. As the observations made in interviews, the main characteristic problems of the current governance model Susep are no organizational independence and financial and budgetary autonomy. This work has deepened in the national literature understanding these characteristics within the brazilian federal regulatory agencies, in contrast to the current peculiar characteristics of the governance model of common autarchy. The model of regulatory agencies was chosen because most of the interviewees expressed understanding in the sense that the current governance model of Susep is outdated and that the adoption of the regulatory agency model would be the most appropriate for the sector. Specialized law and doctrine regulatory agencies were consulted, so as Tax and Economic Laws. There were examinated judgments of the Court of Audit and researches, national reports and studies carried out in the fields of organic independence and financial autonomy and budget of brazilian federal regulatory agencies. There were also analyzed several bills pending in Congress that propose changes in the organizational structure of the brazilian federal regulatory agencies and laws dealing with financial management and budget of these agencies. Finally, it was concluded that although the creation of a regulatory agency for the private insurance industry, reinsurance, open private pension and capitalization can contribute to overcoming problems associated with the current model of governance of Susep, such a model will not bring a definitive solution to the current problems in the Susep regarding the lack of organizational independence and financial and budgetary autonomy of the organ. Furthermore, although the regulatory agency model may present advantages over common autarchy model, the governance model of the brazilian federal regulatory agencies needs to be improved to ensure greater independence and effective financial and budgetary autonomy.

Para isso, apresentamos uma contextualização sobre a reforma da gestão pública e a criação das agências reguladoras no Brasil, destacando referências nacionais nas esferas federal e estadual. A partir dessas bases, analisamos as inovações deste modelo, em especial a independência decisória, a flexibilidade administrativa e a autonomia de gestão, bem como identificamos obstáculos na concretização desta autonomia prevista em lei. Em especial, estudamos o impacto da vacância em cargos de diretoria da ARSESP, o contingenciamento orçamentário, a relação com a assessoria jurídica da Procuradoria Geral do Estado e as vantagens da multissetorialidade desta Agência. Verificamos que os problemas relatados não são passíveis de solução considerando apenas a ARSESP de forma isolada, mas dependem, ainda, de mudanças sistêmicas na legislação que regulamenta a Administração Pública no Brasil, em especial no tocante às necessárias reformas no modelo de compras, licitações e contratos públicos, no regime jurídico único dos servidores públicos e na execução orçamentária com reflexos nos limites impostos pela responsabilidade fiscal. Por fim, verificamos, ainda, que o fortalecimento da autonomia da Agência depende, também, de um entendimento sobre a importância política da regulação independente e do fundamental papel de controle exercido pelas agências reguladoras. / In this case study, we examine São Paulo State’s Regulatory Agency for Sanitation and Energy (ARSESP), a special regime autarchy, looking at its institutional evolution and its independence. We look at the context around public sector reform and the creation of regulatory agencies in Brazil, highlighting national references at federal and state levels. From this basis, we analyze this model’s innovations, especially independent decision-making, administrative flexibility and broad management autonomy, as well as identifying obstacles to fulfilling this autonomy as written in law. In particular, we study the impact of the Agency’s multi-sector remit, board-level vacancies, withheld budgets and relationship with the general attorney. We verify that the problems reported by ARSESP cannot be solved within the Agency alone, but depend, in most cases, on systemic changes to legislation on public procurement, public sector recruitment and budget management in Brazil. Finally, we also verify that the strengthening of the Agency’s autonomy depends also on an understanding of the political importance of independent regulation.

The chapter titled Present state focuses on the problem of gerontology and geriatrics. Other chapters include description of the most outstanding neuropsychical and somatic changes in the old-age. Next chapters deal with functional examine and geriatric rehabilitation problem.The objective of the thesis was assessing the extent of self-reliance and psychical changes affecting all the occupants of using Crichton Geriatric Rating Scale.146 seniors were tested according to the Crichton Geriatric Rating Scale.Three hypotheses were stated. It was expected that the results of the Crichton tests would correlate with the results of MiniMental Test. Another hypothesis was that there would be better results of the test done to the people whose family care for them actively. The last hypothesis expected worse results of the people who have been in the retirement home for more than three years.The research has confirmed that the results of the Chrichton test and MiniMental test correlate. Correlation of the Crichton test with the active care and interest of the family for the senior and the length of their stay was not proved.
