Förskollärares metoder i konflikthanteringJonsson, Anna Catharina January 2012 (has links)
Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka om, och i så fall hur, förskollärare använder sig av olika metoder vid konflikthantering i arbetet på förskolan. Bakgrunden är uppbyggd av forskning och litteratur, där medling och öppna relationer är de viktigaste metoderna vid konfliktlösning. För att få en bild av hur konflikter hanteras i verkligheten har intervjuer med förskollärare genomförts. Genom dessa framkom att studiens respondenter använder sig av olika metoder beroende på situation. Den metod som samtliga använder sig av är medling och öppna frågor. Yrkeserfarenhet verkar inte ha någon inverkan på respondenternas metodval.

Board Structure in Swedish Mutual Funds IndustryKolosov, Pavel, Soltanmammedov, Shageldi January 2011 (has links)
Mutual funds attracted great attention of both shareholders and academics in last few decades. Mutual funds provide benefits like diversification, professional managements and reduced costs for individual shareholders. Shareholders invest their assets into mutual funds managed by professionals. Managers may have an incentive to use those assets to satisfy their own interests. They can achieve this by charging excessive fees or spending more on the perquisites. These unmatched interests of shareholders and managers create so called principal-agent conflicts. Some researchers argue that market competition in mutual funds industry is strong enough to align interests of both shareholders and managers, thus mitigating principal-agent conflicts. Others believe there is need for internal governance to monitor managers‟ behaviors. Board of directors as an internal governance mechanism is responsible for aligning shareholders and managers interests.We collected data on board characteristics to find if they are related to funds attributes. Our sample of funds consists of 68 fund management companies with total of 603 mutual funds managed by those companies. Board characteristics include board size, age and gender of board members, and presence of CEO on the board. Fund attributes are total expense ratio, rate of return and management fees used as a measure of board effectiveness. We analyzed relationship of board characteristics and fund attributes separately on the company level and fund level.On the company level we found no relationship between board size and board age with expense ratio and rate of returns. We found significant positive relationship between board gender and presence of CEO with expense ratio. These results indicate that with the increase of male members on the board and the presence of CEO on the board there is an increase in total expense ratio. On the fund level analysis we found different relations with various types of funds. This may indicate that depending on the type of the fund the structure of the board that is effective changes.

Will freshwater soon become more valueable then oil? : A study on global water conflicts and it's necessity in the futureSeferaj, Afrodita January 2011 (has links)
Water is a vital part of our lives. When it comes to a certain state where water become scares it has a huge impact on our lives. When nations constantly face increasing population growth and globalization, water becomes even more essential, since the demand for freshwater increase whilst our water supplies decrease. It is important to explain the matter of freshwater, since freshwater is the only water that can be used for e.g. agriculture and as drinking water, which are the most important components of our lives. The issue of water scarcity is complex since most of the water in the world is shared by two or more nations; therefore it is even more important to cooperate now than ever before. Water scarcity is found all over the world, although this thesis will primarily focus on the Tigris-Euphrates region; where water conflicts are very evident since three nations (riparians) share the two rivers. In this thesis I will do a case study of the Tigris-Euphrates in order to see if there are any possibilities or obstructions for Turkey, Iraq and Syria to reach a cooperative solution to the extensive conflict. A theoretical framework which is built upon the three level negotiation theory of water politics is going to be used to bring awareness to the negotiation process. The negotiation process over the two rivers water allocation amongst the three riparians have been far from successful, therefore there is a need to revise the current issue by using the three level negotiation theory as a foundation to advocate cooperation in order to find possible resolutions.

The relationship between inter-role conflicts, social support and learning burnout-The study of students who take refresher coursesYang, Ting-tsun 14 August 2008 (has links)
As refresher courses are getting popular in Taiwan, it is good news for those who want to continue their studies at the same time of working. However, an individual social role will be getting more complicated during this situation of inter-role conflicts. While a full-time worker also needs to act as a student after work, will he encounter the inter-role conflicts of learning and working?
This study aims on students who are taking refresher courses at public or private two-year junior college, two-year college, and university in Kaohsiung. We try to discuss the relationship between inter-role conflicts, social support and learning burnout of students who are taking refresher courses. We indicate the relationship between inter-role conflicts, social support and learning burnout due to different background characteristics of respondents. The study result is supported by empirical data and provides some suggestions for those who want to take refresher courses and further researchers.
We send out 800 questionnaires and get 602 returned ones. The final valid questionnaires are 589 and the return rate is 76.62%. The result is indicated as below:
1. Most of respondents in this study are female, single, and study in national two-year junior college right now. Their tenure in current company is 1-5 years. Most of them have strong motivation of self actualization even they all play different social roles now. The age of most respondents is between 31-40 and most of them work in manufacturing industries and would prefer to study at school in short distance.
2. The result indicates the inter-role conflicts that learning interferes working or learning and working interfere each other have strong impact on learning attitude. Besides, the inter-role conflicts that learning interferes working or learning and working interfere each other have strong impact on interpersonal relationship alienation. The three kinds of inter-role conflicts all have strong impact on low learning emotion. Furthermore, the inter-role conflicts which learning and working interfere each other have strong impact on emotion burnout.
3. The moderation effects of families¡¦ support, managers¡¦ support, colleagues¡¦ support and classmates¡¦ support are partially supported in this study.

Ponta do Abunã : no fim de Rondônia e no começo do Acre /Almeida, Lucilene Ferreira de. January 2007 (has links)
A Amazônia, durante toda a sua história, teve como principal via de transporte a rede fluvial. A construção da rodovia BR-364 representou um marco para a região, visto que propiciou, a partir de então, o acesso às demais regiões brasileiras via terrestre. Propiciou a vinda de muitos migrantes de diversas partes do Brasil em direção à Amazônia. A Ponta do Abunã é uma das áreas que tem sua construção desde os períodos áureos da borracha amazônica, ainda no século XIX, mas que tem a chegada de um fluxo maior de migrantes principalmente a partir no final da década de 1970, acompanhando a construção da BR-364. A área até então é tida como pertencente ao Estado do Acre, pelo menos por parte deste Estado e da população que passa a residir naquela localidade. A indefinição quanto a que unidade federativa pertencia e tinha que se submeter, criou alguns problemas de ordem prática, como a questão de horários, já que o Estado acreano encontra-se uma hora a menos de diferença com o Estado de Rondônia. Na década de 1980 começam as discussões sobre a possessão da área, de um lado o Acre, do outro Rondônia. Passados cerca de dez anos, após algumas averiguações, foi decidido judicialmente que aquele território sempre pertenceu a Rondônia e que o Acre deveria retirar todos os órgãos instalados na localidade. Mesmo com a decisão, a relação com o Acre continuou, principalmente devido à maior proximidade geográfica, já que a Ponta do Abunã encontra-se mais distante da cidade de Porto Velho, além da existência de uma barreira geográfica - o Rio Madeira. Daí, analisar o território e as identidades que se produzem e se forjam nele são importantes para compreendermos como na Ponta do Abunã, ao longo de sua história, têm sido produzidas identidades territoriais. / The Amazon, throughout its history, has had the fluvial system as the main means of transportation. The opening of BR-364 Road represented a mark to the region as it provided access to the rest of Brazilian areas and it also made migration possible to several places towards the Amazon region. Ponta do Abunã village is one of the areas that has been developed since the rubber aural times, in the XIX century, and the settlement of a high flux of migrants from different areas around Brazil, mainly by the end of 1970, following the construction of BR-364 Road. The area, since then, has been considered as belonging to the State of Acre, by villagers and dwellers live there. Uncertainty regarding what State, Acre or Rondônia, that region would belong to has raised some geographical matters related to the time zone, as the State of Acre is one hour behind the State of Rondônia. In the 1980s, a discussion about the possession of the area between Acre and Rondônia came out and ten years later, it was legally decided that the State of Acre should all the public services installed in Ponta do Abunã Village. Despite that decision, commercial trades continued mainly because Ponta do Village is farther from the capital city, Porto Velho, than from Rio Branco, the capital city of Acre, and besides, because of the geographical barrier: the Madeira river. Indeed, analyzing the territory and its features that have been set is relevant to understand how, throughout its own history, that region has acquired territorial identities, as it was settled by migrants who initially founded an Acreanian territory, and later lived in a Rondonian territory - Ponta do Abunã Village. In doing so, it is noticeable the great role that the National State and the boundaries play on the construction of the territory. / Orientador: Eliseu Savério Sposito / Coorientador: Sílvio Simione da Silva / Banca: Eda Maria Góes / Banca: Jones Dari Goettert / Mestre
