Conversatorio sobre el lenguaje artístico del director de teatro Carlos Tolentino

Directors of listed companies earn abnormal returns by trading in a contrarian manner. This research report investigated whether outside investors can earn abnormal returns by following director contrarian trades. The returns to directors and outsiders, following a director trade were analysed using the event study methodology. The event study methodology utilised director trading information from SENS announcements on the JSE Securities Exchange, daily share prices, betas and price to book values for the selected companies, and daily all share index prices. The focus of the analysis was the post trade Cumulative Average Abnormal Returns (CAAR), in the 20 days following the director trade. The overall CAAR for all transactions was a statistically significant but economically insignificant 0.43%. When viewed from a transaction type perspective, the CAAR was 0.72% and 0.44% for purchases and sales transactions respectively. This study shows that while directors of listed South African companies do earn abnormal returns, they do not do so while consistently trading in a contrarian manner. In fact, transactions not deemed contrarian generated higher abnormal returns for directors. In addition, the study shows that outside investors do not earn abnormal returns by mimicking directors, and actually, their following of director trades generates the abnormal returns for directors.

Film does not exist without architecture. In every movie that has ever been made throughout history, the cinematic image of architecture is embedded within the picture. Throughout my studies and research, I began to see that there is no director who can consciously or unconsciously deny the use of architectural elements in his or her movies. Architecture offers a strong profile to distinguish characters and story. In the early days, films were shot in streets surrounded by architecture, and then they were projected on the exterior walls of buildings where the audience could come and watch. Here, I have studied elements such as light, time, space and matter- storymaking tools common to both Architect and Director. Light, for example, in architecture, is used as a strong theme by Louis I. Kahn, 'the most poetic of architects' in his Kimbell Art Museum. Similarly, Alfred Hitchcock, renowned filmmaker, utilizes light to distinguish the characters of his movies to create remarkable and sometimes horrifying scenes. This thesis aims to capture the cinematic movement of these elements in the building design. The project's program is a film museum and school that is sited in Southwest Washington DC. / Master of Architecture

The purpose of this study was to examine self-reported health behaviors (health responsibility, physical activity, nutrition, spiritual growth, interpersonal relations and stress management) of Resident Directors who self-reported being affiliated with ACUHO-I. The second purpose of the study was to examine which areas of health behaviors, do Resident Directors believe, their participation influences the health behaviors of their students. This was completed by inviting Resident Directors to complete the Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLPII). A total of (n=308) Resident Directors completed the HPLPII. The results of this study are ground breaking because it is the first study examining the health behaviors of Resident Directors. Results show that Resident Directors are minimally practicing health behaviors especially in the area of health responsibility.

The transformational leadership allows managers influence their teachers who recognize and attributed control to the director. The research investigated what are the characteristics of the transformational leadership of the director of a public educational institution of the UGEL 07. Through the study we recognized the features of transformational leadership in the director. The research identified three elements of the transformational leadership attributed to the director. The views expressed by the teachers and the data obtained from the respondents in order to obtain a description of the exercise of transformational leadership in the selected institution were also examined. / El liderazgo transformacional permite a los directivos influenciar en sus docentes quienes reconocen y atribuyen mando al director. La investigación indagó cuáles son las características del liderazgo transformacional del director de una institución educativa pública de la UGEL 07. A través del estudio reconocimos las características del liderazgo transformacional en el director. En la investigación se identificaron tres elementos del liderazgo transformacional atribuidos al director. También se analizaron las opiniones vertidas por los docentes y los datos obtenidos de los encuestados a fin de obtener una descripción del ejercicio del liderazgo transformacional en la institución seleccionada.

Actions by both private sector organizations and legislators in recent years have highlighted the importance of the audit committee of the board of directors of corporations in the financial reporting process. For example, the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 has multiple sections that deal with the composition and functioning of audit committees. My dissertation examines multiple issues related to the composition of audit committees. In the first two parts of my dissertation, I examine the stock market reactions to disclosures of audit committee appointments and departures in the 8-Ks filed with the SEC during 2008 and 2009. I find that there is a positive stock market reaction to the appointment of audit committee directors who are financial experts. The second essay investigates the cumulative abnormal return to departure of audit committee directors. I find that when an accounting expert leaves the audit committee, the market reaction is significantly negative. These results are consistent with regulators’ concerns related to having directors with audit, accounting and other financial expertise on corporate audit committees. The third essay of my dissertation examines the changes in audit committee composition in the last decade. I find that while the increase in audit committee size is relatively modest, there has been a significant increase in the number of audit committee experts and the frequency of audit committee meetings over the past decade; interestingly, such increase in the number of meetings has persisted even after the media focus on the auditing profession, in the immediate aftermath of the Enron and Andersen failures, have waned. My results show that audit committee composition and its role continues to evolve with regulatory and other corporate governance related changes.

This thesis deals with the application of approaches in current practice that consider the performance of the Deputy Director as an appropriate or necessary precondition for the future performance of the school principal or the school facility. This work investigates current approaches that are applied in practice by founders, directors and deputy directors of schools and school facilities. The work is based on the study of available literature and applicable laws in the Czech Republic. At the same time, it draws on international approaches currently applied in the field. The research was conducted through questionnaires and investigations of implementations in the selection of future directors. In addition, respondents' views of founders and directors of the inclusion conditions of the Deputy Director of the insolvency proceedings. Also, respondents' views on the possible acquisition of management skills by the acting deputy director were examined. The analysis of the research describes the state determined and recommends possible solutions for the questions in the next period with emphasis on the potential increase in the quality of the Czech education system.
