This study sought to determine if the 2012 Eighth Grade Summer Reading Camp curriculum was aligned with the students’ needs. To determine if curriculum alignment existed, the researcher completed a qualitative and quantitative study. The qualitative study consisted of interviewing the school district program development team to ascertain how the curriculum was designed. The quantitative segment involved running descriptive statistics for student performance on the Pre-program Benchmark Examination. The determined student knowledge voids were compared to the amount of instructional time spent taught teaching those individual benchmarks to ascertain if the curriculum was aligned with student need. The curriculum was determined to not be aligned with the performance deficiencies of the students.

Sverige har under Covid-19 pandemin upplevt stora prisökning på bostadsrätter. Detta har skett till följd av förändring i vårt boende, då många har arbetat hemifrån och haft sina sociala liv förändrat av restriktionerna. därmed har folk spenderat mer tid hemma och samtidigt haft mer av sin budget att spendera på boende. Samt så har under denna period amorteringskravet slopats medans reporäntan varit vid noll.  Under dessa omständigheter har de faktorer som bestämmer värdet på våra bostäder förändrats. Denna studie menar att besvara dessa frågan om hur faktorerna för bostadspris har förändrats under pandemin, och vad det kan leda till i framtiden. Detta ska ske genom att intervjua mäklare om vad det har observerat och tror kommer hända framöver. I studien har intervjuerna analyserats och jämförts. Det kommer fram mixade åsikter och anmärkningar från mäklare. Efter att filtrerat bort det som kan vara lokala fenomen kan den troliga slutsatsen och prognosen för framtiden presenteras.  Arbetet kommer fram till att vi troligen kommer bevitta en avsäljning av bostadsrätter köpta under pandemin, då det var köpta med skenet av stora budgetar och låga avbetalningar. Dock kommer antagligen efterfrågan av större bostäder utanför Stockholms innerstad fortsätta att vara aktuellt för barnfamiljer. Då detta har varit mycket positivt i koppling till arbete på distans, som antagligen kommer fortsätta i större utsträckning i mixad form. Detta kan leda till bredare nyproduktion av större bostadsrätter i småstäder runt om Stockholms län. Samt kan även designen på lägenheterna komma att förändras då det blivit mer attraktivt med arbetsrum. / Sweden have during the Covid-19 pandemic experienced large increases in condominium prices. This has happened as a result of the change in our housing, as many have worked from home and had their social lives changed by the restrictions. Thus people have spent more time at home and at the same time had more of their budget to spend on living arrangements. During this period, the amortization requirement has been temporarily abolished while the repo rate has been around zero. During these circumstances, the factors that determine the value of our properties have changed. This study aims to answer the questions about how the factors of housing prices have changed during the pandemic, and what it may lead to in the future. This will be done by interviewing brokers about what they have observed and believe will happen in the future. In the study, the interviews were analyzed and compared. There are mixed opinions and remarks. After filtering out what may be local phenomena, a probable conclusion and forecast for the future can be presented. The work comes to the conclusion that we will probably witness a sale of condominiums bought during the pandemic, as it was bought with the temporarily larger budgets and low installments. However, the demand for larger homes outside Stockholm's inner city will probably continue to be relevant for families with children. As this has been very positive in connection with distance work, which will probably continue to a greater extent in mixed form. This can lead to broader new production of larger condominiums in small towns around Stockholm County. And the design of the apartments may also change as it becomes more attractive for workrooms.

Cette recherche vise à apporter un éclairage sur les facteurs déterminants de la concertation économique. De manière spécifique, elle poursuit trois principaux objectifs. Premièrement, nous cherchons à définir la notion de dialogue social et les termes qui y sont généralement associés tels que la concertation, la consultation, le tripartisme, le partenariat, la négociation collective, etc. Deuxièmement, nous faisons le point sur l’État du dialogue social au Québec, notamment en décrivant son évolution historique, les acteurs impliqués, les objets abordés et les instances de dialogue. Certaines comparaisons entre la culture québécoise de concertation et celles caractérisant d’autres cultures (Canada, États-Unis, Europe) sont par ailleurs présentées. De plus, ce tour d’horizon des différents lieux de dialogue social permettra de mieux saisir les composantes de la concertation en lien avec le développement économique, plus particulièrement, sur les façons de planifier le développement économique d’une manière socialement responsable (Papadakis, 2010). Troisièmement, une analyse empirique des facteurs déterminants de la concertation économique est effectuée. Pour atteindre les objectifs et répondre à notre question de recherche, nous articulons cette recherche en deux phases. Dans un premier temps, une cartographie des instances de dialogue social au Québec et la collecte de données auprès d’instances québécoises sont établies. Cette première phase permet également d’identifier quels sont les facteurs déterminants de la concertation économique généralement reconnus au sein de la littérature. Afin de mieux saisir ces facteurs et par conséquent, bonifier le modèle d’analyse, l’étude s’appuie sur une série d’entretiens exploratoires réalisés au Québec, mais aussi en France où la culture de dialogue social économique semble plus développée. Ce mouvement itératif entre la littérature et les entretiens exploratoires effectués permet de construire un modèle d’analyse des facteurs déterminants de la concertation économique. Dans un second temps, ce modèle d’analyse est testé en se concentrant sur deux organismes de concertation économique au Québec. Au sein de ces organismes ont été rencontrés des acteurs syndicaux, patronaux et gouvernementaux. L’entretien a été retenu comme la méthode de collecte de données utilisée auprès des individus (Gavard-Perret, Gotteland, Haon et Jolibert, 2008) et plus spécifiquement, des entretiens semi-directifs auprès des répondants afin de leur laisser la liberté de s’exprimer de façon plus large sur les questions et possiblement apporter de nouveaux éléments pouvant enrichir le modèle. La méthode de l’appariement logique sert à analyser les réponses aux questionnaires d’entrevues (Yin, 1994) et à les comparer aux propositions de recherche. Au plan théorique, l’apport des théories néo-institutionnalistes permet d’approfondir nos constats en lien avec la naissance et le développement des institutions de dialogue social. L’analyse de nos résultats nous permet de vérifier la théorie sur la création des institutions qui se veut la prise de conscience d’une problématique par les acteurs qui perçoivent leur implication au sein des institutions comme une façon de résoudre cette situation. Nous vérifions également la notion d’acteur dominant via le double rôle de l’acteur gouvernemental comme participant et comme donneur d’argent. Finalement, notre recherche a permis de confirmer notre modèle d’analyse tout en le raffinant par l’ajout de nouveaux facteurs déterminants de la concertation économique. Les entrevues que nous avons réalisées nous ont permis d’apporter des nuances et de préciser la portée des facteurs déterminants tirés de la littérature. Notre analyse confirme trois de nos propositions de recherche telle que formulées et deux autres le sont que partiellement. Nos constats confirment en effet que la volonté réelle des parties à travailler ensemble, la présence d’intérêts communs et la participation de l’État sont tous des facteurs qui ont un impact positif sur la concertation économique. La question de la confiance est nécessaire pour la poursuite de la concertation. En appui aux travaux antérieurs sur la question, nous avons observé que la confiance entre les acteurs influence positivement le déroulement de la concertation économique. Nous avons toutefois constaté qu’un certain niveau de méfiance réside entre les acteurs qui participent à ce processus, ces derniers représentant des organisations distinctes qui ont leurs intérêts propres. Pour permettre la concertation entre acteurs, le niveau de confiance doit être plus élevé que le niveau de méfiance. Nos observations nous ont aussi permis d’établir des liens entre la présence des facteurs déterminants et l’atteinte de résultats par la concertation, mais nous ne pouvons pas déterminer leur importance relative: nous ne pouvons donc pas prétendre qu’un plus grand nombre de facteurs réunis va assurer la réussite du processus de concertation ou s’il s’agit plutôt de la présence de certains facteurs qui auraient plus d’impact sur les résultats. Notre recherche fournit un apport important à la littérature sur la concertation puisqu’elle a permis de cerner de nouveaux facteurs déterminants à la réussite de ce processus. Les entretiens réalisés ont montré que le « contrôle des égos » des acteurs de la concertation et la mise en place de mécanismes permettant une intégration réussie des nouveaux participants au processus constituent des facteurs à ne pas négliger. De plus, notre recherche a permis de raffiner notre modèle conceptuel puisque nous avons été en mesure de cerner différents sous-facteurs qui permettent d’approfondir l’analyse des facteurs déterminants de la concertation. Notre recherche comporte toutefois certaines limites puisque les institutions comparées présentent des différences importantes en termes de culture et le nombre restreint d’organisme étudié limite grandement la généralisation des résultats. / This research aims to shed light on the determining factors of economic concertation. Specifically, it pursues three main goals. First, we define the notion of social dialogue and associated terms such as concertation, consultation, tripartism, partnership and collective bargaining. Second, we review the state of social dialogue in Quebec, describing its historical evolution, the actors involved, the themes addressed and the existing forums for dialogue. Some comparisons are also made between the culture of concertation in Quebec and elsewhere (Canada, United States, Europe). In addition, this overview of the different forums for social dialogue provides a better understanding of concertation related to economic development, in particular with regard to planning economic development in a socially responsible way (Papadakis, 2010). Third and lastly, we present an empirical analysis of the determining factors of economic development. This research was conducted in two stages. First, we mapped the existing forums for social dialogue in Québec and collected data from them. This first stage also allowed us to identify the determining factors of concertation generally referred to in the literature. To better understand these factors and improve our analytical model, exploratory interviews were conducted with actors of social dialogue in Quebec and France concerning their involvement in this process. These combined actions allowed us to create an analytical model of the determining factors of economic concertation. During the second stage, we studied two concertation organizations in Québec. Within these organizations, we met union, employer and government actors. Interviews were used as our method of data collection (Gavard-Perret, Gotteland, Haon & Jolibert, 2008), particularly semi-structured interviews with the actors. This type of interview allows the respondents to answer the questions more fully and possibly bring new elements to the model. The method of matching logic was used to analyze their answers (Yin, 1994) and compare them to our research proposals. On a theoretical level, neo-institutionalist theories enriched our observations regarding the creation and development of institutions of social dialogue. The analysis of our results confirmed the theory regarding the creation of these institutions, that is, that actors identify a problem and perceive their involvement as a way to solve it. Our analysis also confirmed the notion of the dominant actor and the dual role of the government actor. Lastly, our research confirmed our analytical model and revealed new factors. The interviews brought out nuances and precisions concerning the determining factors found in the literature. Our analysis confirmed three of our proposals and partially confirmed two others. More specifically, it confirmed the real intention of the parties to work together, the presence of common interests and the participation of the state. It revealed that trust is a necessary element of concertation. In support of previous work, we observed that trust between the actors has a positive influence on economic concertation. However, we observed a certain level of distrust between the actors given their role as representatives of organizations with differing interests. In order for concertation to proceed, the level of trust must be higher than the level of distrust. Our observations also brought out links between the presence of some determining factors and the results achieved through concertation, but it was impossible to determine their relative importance. Therefore, it is not possible to assert that the presence of several determining factors will have a greater impact on the results of the concertation process. Our research makes an important contribution to the literature by bringing out new determining factors of concertation. Our interviews showed that “ego control” on the part of the actors involved and the establishment of mechanisms for integrating new actors are important factors. Our research improved our model by identifying some sub-factors that enriched our study of the determining factors of concertation. However, the limited number of organizations studied and the significant cultural differences between them limit the generalizability of our results.

Work is about corporation mergers in the first place in Czech Republic and about valuation issues. It brings comprehensive view into particular business areas in which are mergeres concerned. It is going about business-legal area, tax and accounting area. Particular sections about these areas are supplemented by the role of the expert in valuation and his opinion. Whole work is ilustrated by the exapmple from praxis.

This thesis is focused on mergers with an emphasis on valuation. It deals mainly with economic, legal, accounting and tax aspects. These aspects are enriched by the amendment of laws that come into legal force from 2012. The thesis is complemented by expert valuation process, without which most of the mergers could not be realized. Final part of this thesis describes concrete national merger of three companies stating the accounting treatment.

nÃo hà / Neste trabalho à apresentado um estudo sobre as caracterÃsticas de magnetizaÃÃo estÃtica de um MRRV â Motor Rotativo de RelutÃncia VariÃvel â de 1 cv, com base na simulaÃÃo do projeto da mÃquina utilizando AnÃlise por Elementos Finitos (AEF) 3D com malhas tetraÃdricas e hexaÃdricas, com vistas a investigar a que mais adequava-se a esse estudo. TrÃs mÃtodos experimentais foram utilizados para a validaÃÃo do projeto via Elementos Finitos: mÃtodo de determinaÃÃo da impedÃncia com tensÃo CA, mÃtodo do tempo de subida de corrente DC de fase e mÃtodo do tempo de descida de corrente DC de fase. Um estudo comparativo foi realizado como forma de efetivar a validaÃÃo. Todas as tarefas de simulaÃÃo e de mediÃÃo foram realizadas utilizando um microcomputador. Para a realizaÃÃo da simulaÃÃo do projeto foi utilizado um software de simulaÃÃo numÃrica com anÃlise dos Elementos Finitos (CST STUDIO SUITE TM 2010Â) em trÃs dimensÃes, utilizando para tanto, malhas tetraÃdricas e hexaÃdricas. Para as tarefas de mediÃÃo, foi utilizada tambÃm uma placa de aquisiÃÃo de dados (DAQ) integrada a duas interfaces: do LabView e Signal Express ambos desenvolvidos pelo o mesmo fabricante da placa de aquisiÃÃo (National Instruments) com o objetivo de determinar a indutÃncia por fase do MRRV. A partir dos valores obtidos de indutÃncias por fase, foi calculado o fluxo concatenado por fase. GrÃficos de fluxo concatenado por corrente e perfis de indutÃncias para sete posiÃÃes sÃo apresentados e entÃo comparados com a simulaÃÃo por AEF. Tabelas evidenciando as diferenÃas de alguns valores entre os mÃtodos em termo de porcentagem sÃo apresentadas e discutidas. Uma avaliaÃÃo sobre todos os mÃtodos foi feita, evidenciando aspectos positivos, negativos, limitaÃÃes e sugestÃes de melhoria dos mesmos. A mÃquina estudada foi um Motor Rotativo de relutÃncia VariÃvel 6/4 (6 pÃlos no estator e 4 pÃlos no rotor), trifÃsico, de 1 cv de potÃncia, corrente nominal de 10A e velocidade de 2.000 rpm, projetado pelo Grupo de Pesquisa em AutomaÃÃo e RobÃtica do Departamento de Engenharia ElÃtrica da Universidade Federal do CearÃ. / This paper presents a study on the characteristics of a static magnetization VRRM - Variable Reluctance Rotating Motor â 1 hp, based on the simulation of machine design using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) with 3D tetrahedral and hexahedral meshes intending to investigate which meshes is the most suited to this study. Three experimental methods to validate the design via Finite Elements were used: method for determining the impedance with AC voltage, the rising time method of DC current phase and falling time of DC current phase method. All tasks of simulation and measurement were performed using a personal computer. To perform the design simulation a numeric simulation software was used with finite element analysis (CST STUDIO SUITE TM 2010Â) in three dimensions, using both, tetrahedral and hexahedral meshes. For measurement tasks also a data acquisition board (DAQ) integrated with two interfaces was used: the LabView and Signal Express both developed by the same manufacturer of the acquisition board (National Instruments) aiming to determine the inductance per phase of the VRRM. From the values obtained of inductance per phase the flux linkage per phase was calculated. Graphs of flux linkage with current and inductance profiles for seven positions are shown and compared with the simulation FEA. Tables showing the values of some differences between the methods in terms of percentage are presented and discussed. An evaluation of all methods was done, showing positives and negatives aspects, limitations and suggestions to improve them. The machine was a studied Variable Reluctance Rotating Motor 6/4 (6 stator poles and 4 poles on the rotor), three-phase, 1 hp, rated current of 10A and speed of 2.000 rpm, designed by the Research Group on Automation and Robotics, Department of Electrical Engineering, Federal University of CearÃ.
